THE FIRST BLOW.

The first blow in the struggle over
the Afghan frontier has been struck.
1t remains to be seen whether it will
be followed up, or whether Russia,
as has been the case sometimes in the
past, will find it convenient to disa-
VOW responsibility for the acts of her
military commanders. At Pendieh
Gen. Komaroff, at the head of a con-
siderable Russian force, has attacked
and routed an Afghan army of 1000
men, inficting upon them heavy
loss. The cause which he alleges for
his attack is j.. the hostile attitude of
the Afg han force. This is flexible
pretext, and it may mean anything
or nothing. In this case it probably
means that the Russian general was
tired of waiting, and seeing a good
opportunity for blow, proceeded to
deal it. He reports the transaction
in most commonplace and matter
| of-fact manner, and mentions Incl
dentally that certain English officers
were present as spectators and were
carried away by the Afghans in theil
flight.
The tidings has had an instant
effect upon the London stock market
consols and Russian securities have
dropped under the prevailing excite
ment. There is no mistaking the sc
rious import of this incident. If it i
countenanced by the Russian Govern
ment it puts sudden check upol
the frontier negotiations and render
peace almost hopeless. The indica
tions now are that this occurrence a
Pendjeh will prove the prelude to wa
on tremendous scale between tn
two great Empires whose interest
are in collision. Russia has the ad
vantage of being nearer the scene c
action, and Of being able, therefore
to deal effective blows at first agains
weak and half-trained Afghan force
which protect the outposts. BIT
there is no mlstHking the determine
ton of England, and the wal spir
not only among the Afghans BIT
among the native princes of Ind
run very high. Peace is not yet in
, possible, but the encounter of tt
30th of March makes it far MOI
| doubtful than it was.

INSURANCE..

w. H. Dubois and Chas. w. Por-
ter, Insurance Commissioners, have
issued circular giving the names Of
all foreign insurance companies
which are licensed to do business in
Vermont, the present year. There
are thirty-six fire insurance compa-
MES, of which thirteen are English
which are doing business in this
state. The total amount of fire
risks written last year was near $685.
100000. The number of foreign
life and accident companies is nine
teen. They issued during last year
363 policies, covered a risk Of S..
82O,940, they paid losses amounting
to $213,029, receiving as premiums
1892, $40. From the above figures il
seems that insuring in Vermont is 6
profitable business. Of the life in
surance companies, it is stated the
leading companies issued policies az
follows:

THE PANAMA REVOLUTION.

A Washington special to the Bos-
ton Journal says that naval officer
who has recently returned from Pana-
ma says that the revolutionists on
the isthmus simply represent cabal
which desires to secure power, and
the contest amounts merely to a
quarrel between the ms and outs.
The leaders of the revolutionists
about Panama are Adventures, and
some of them mere desperadoes. One
of the leaders is an assassin and a
murderer. The United States is held
in much respect in that country, and
the cause of the revolutionists must
have been desperate indeed to have
given them the courage to have seiz-
ed the arms on board a Uuited States
war ship. Why Commander Kane
permitted this thing to be done is a
subject of surprise in naval circles,
but as he is an officer of good record,
his friends hold their judgement in
allegiance until they can have more
accurate information as to what ac-
tually TRANSFERRED. AS for the de-
struction of Aspinwall, said this gen.
tleman, if the property of the rail-
road and the canal is saved civiliza-
ton has very little to lose. The
town, which consists of long rows of
wooden houses-there are but one or
two brick buildings there's indie
scribably dreary and filthy. He add
ed that it will not require very for
midable expedition to put down the
revolutionists, but if they resolve
themselves into guerilla bands the
United States may have considerable
trouble to keep the isthmus open.
Secretary Whitney of the navy is
quoted as saying that he believes
fuller ddvices will show that it is I'M
necessary for the United States to
interfere in the troubles at Panama.
| He believes that transit across the
isthmus will not be seriously obstruct-
ed, and that there will be little use for
armed interference.

two o'clock p. M, for the purpose OF
organizing Vermont Horse-Breed-

that such an organization, intelligent

eventually result in winning back oul
once envious reputation for breeding

According to Pekin advices via
Hong Kong and London, peace has
been concluded between China and
France on the basis of the Fourier
convention, France having abandoned
all claim to indemnity for the alleged
breach of comfy at Langson. 1t
will be remembered that peace had
been reached after the. Tonpuin diff
Guilty by the Fourier agreement,
when collision of forces occurred at
Langson for which France demanded
a heavy indemnity. China denied
that her forces were to blame and
has resisted with such vigor and in
hicted such defeat upon the French
forces that France is glad to give up
the struggle. 1t would be wise for
her to do so, but we fear that she is
not yet ready to forgo the pursuit of
glory. But the war is expensive and
perhaps she has had enough. At any
rate, it is not too much to say that
the overwhelming defeat of Gen. Ne
grier by the Chinese has given, China
a military standing among the
powers of the earth, which she
has never before had. Nopower will
hereafter carelessly tread on the tail
of the dragon.
