GLADSTONE.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the house OF COM
mons this afternoon, answering inter- |
rogatOries, said the government had no
reason whatever to believe that any |
such demand had been entertained as
o. at OF Ru sia's demand for Penjdeh. |
Hon. RouerJ Bourke asked whether |
Baron Lde StaaI, the Russian embassa- |
dor at London, had suggested as part |
of the terms OF an Anglo Russian under
standing, that PeDjdeh be annexed to
Russia?
Gladstone's answer: "There is no |
reason, whatever, 10 believe that such
demand has been made. No assur.
auceS have been given or received by |
either government regarding any par
ticular points ON the Afghan frontier"
GLADSTONE, in answer TO other ques-
tiona concerning the Afghan difficulty,
denied the story published in the Daily
Telegraph to-day to the effect that the
czar had officially expressed the opinion
that war would DO deplorable
to both countries, and hoped that a
prompt and simple arrangement OF
peace would be established.
Mr.. Gladstone said that there had
been friendly conversations laughterI
between Earl Granville and the Rus
sian ambassador and others competent

given or received regarding
points ON the disputed frontier.
Gladstone had no doubts that Russia
had established an administration OF
Penjdeh." Laughter
In answer 20 Mr.. Bourke, the premier
said that he had not been present at the
conversations referred to. [Jeers.] He
had no reason to believe that any sug-
gestion or demand had been made by
Russia up to the present time.
KARL BLINDS CLEAR VISION.
Karl Bind, the distinguished German
revolutionist, in refusing to attend a
conference of the Peace Arbitration as
ISOLATION to-day, writes that he is
ardently DESTROYS of peace whenever 1t
can be honorably obtained, but the
czar's government is so manifestly
showing such brutal violence,
and as it's final aim is
India, arbitration between England
and Russia would be useless. A pro-
posal to arbitraJe, he says, would only
have the effect, apparently, OF EXHIBIT,
ing divided opinion in England, ana
would encourage further aggression on
the part of Russian despotism, which
has shamelessly broken the most sol
emn pledges. Witness Khiva, Merv
and the Afghan frontier commission.
England must make firm stand II
India is not to be lost. It's question OF
action now, not question OF words.
Only 30 persons attended the conference.
