FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
Trouble Likely to Grow Out of the Suppress
sion Of the Bosphore Egyptien.

Trouble Likely to Grow Out Of the Suppress
sion of the Bosphore Egyptien.
LONDON, April 20.-The Standard, in an edi-
torial this morning, says it hopes that England
will support the Khedive in his controversy with
France concerning the suppression of the Bos-
phore Egypten. If England grants Frances
demand for the withdrawal of the decree of sup
preston and authorizes punishment of the Of
fcials who executed the decree, the Standard
thinks it will make a serious mistakes "The
Bosphore Egyptien was Justly suppressed says
the Standard, ''and if it be allowed to resume
its audacious career. England will confess more
fagrantly than ever, that in Egypt she has un-
dertaken task which she has neither the abil-
ity TO execute nor the courage to relinquish."
The French press unanimously insist that the
government shall continue in its demand upon
Egypt for full satisfaction for the suppression of
the French newspaper, the Bosphore Egyptien,
at Cairo.

Komaroa Practically Indorsed.

LONDON, March 2O.-The reply of NJ. De
Giers, Russian Foreign Minister, to Earl Gran
ville's demand for an explanation Of General
Komarof's attack upon the Afghans on the
Kushk river, which was received at
the Foreign Office last Saturday. was
considered in Cabinet council to-day.
The reply says General Komaroff's dispatches,
copies of which have been forwarded to the Brit
ish governments, sufficiently explain the Penjdeh
incident, and that it is therefore needless to
supplement them. M. De Giers, in his turn,
complains strongly of what he calls
the excessive numbers of General Sir
Peter Lumsden's escort. He says this display Of
British armed force on Afghan territory, together
with the military demonstration at Rawul-
Pindee, and Earl Dufferin's defiant language
encouraged the Afghans to provoke
Russian attack by leading them
to believe that they could rely upon British sup
port. M. De Giers does not express the slightest
regret for General Komaroff's action, and he
even suggests that General Komaroff would have
neglected his duty if he had failed to attack the
Afghans

A Feeling of Alarm Caused by Evasive An
swers from Gladstone.

A Feeling of Alarm Caused by Evasive An
swers from Gladstone.
LONDON, April 20.-Mr. Gladstone, in the
House of Commons this afternoon, made the
following statement: 'The government on Fri
day received dispatch from Sir Peter Lumsden,
but this telegram was not an answer to our in
quiries and instructions dispatched to him on
the 10th inst. 1t will be necessary to await that
answer before we can make any statement The
telegram received from Sir Peter Lumsden on
Friday tends to confirm his previous statements,
which certainly apparently conficted with Gen.
Komaroff's statements"
Lord Randolph Churchill, Conservative asked
Mr.. Gladstone how far England was complicat
ed and how far responsible in the suppression of
the French newspaper, the Bosphore Eeyptep,
at Cairo.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that Egypt had not act
ed alone in the matter of seizing and suppressng
the paper, and admitted that England was not
in position to dsclam all responsibility for the
act.
Mr.. Gladstone gave notice that the govern
ment would introduce the expected motion for a
vote of credit tomorrow. The Premiers re-
plies concerning tho Bosphore Egypten and the
Afghan incidents were today very guarded. He
answered a number of questions about the
Anglo Russian dispute with studied evasion, and
added little or nothing to what has been already
known.
In evidence of the present bellicose feeling
among members of Parliament, it may be men
toned that when Mr. Gladstone unequivocally
stated that Sir Peter Lumsden's telegram of
Friday confirmed his previous accounts of the
fight at Penjdeh and conficted with those made
about the same battle by General Komaroff, the
declaration was received with a low ripple of
satisfaction which soon developed into cheer.
Fears are entertained that the Bosphore
Egyptien affair is likely to lead to difficulty be-
tween France and England
The situation at the close of the session in
Parliament this evening was one of general
feeling of uneasiness, bordering on alarm.
Earl Granville, British Foreign Minister,
stated this afternoon, in the House of Lords,
that the government have received a dispatch
from Sir Peter Lumsden. The contents of the
dispatch, Earl Granville said, the government
were not prepared to make public, any further
than to state that it contained contradiction of
the account of the Penjdeh incident, as given by.
General Komarof. The government were Earl

THE PENJDEH INCIDENT.
Testimony Showing that the Attack Was
Entirely UnprOvOked.

Testimony Showing that the Attack Was
Entirely Unprovoked.
LONDON, April 21-Advices from Tirpul,
dated April II, state that the result OF all
inquiries shows that the attack on Penjdeh by
the Russians was absolutely uprovoked.
Captain Yate, who remained at Penj
deh in order to see that the Afghans
respected the agreement of March II, had
an interview with a number Of the Russian
staff on the day previous to the battle, at which
he pointed out that the Afghans had occupied
the west bank of the Kushk and since the
18th of March The Russians complained of the
demeanor of the Afghan troops and
Of the aggressive preparations apparent
in their lines; also, that the Afghans
had insulted some Tekke Turkoman troopers
employed at Pul-i-Khisti, in the Russian service.
They further accused the Afghans of reconnoit-
ering with the sweeping charge of arrogance.
The facts were that General Kom-
aroff had pushed 5000 troops forward
to commanding position in front of the AT
ghans who naturally proceeded to strengthen
their weaker outposts. This led to the Russians
alleging arrogance. the attitude of the Afghans
was studiously moderate, and there is no color to
the pretense that their movements were even
irritating. They even allowed the Russians to
inspect their arrangements at Pul-i-Khisti.
General Komarof's troops are reported to have
withdrawn from Penjdeh after the battle
Their withdrawal, however, was mere
ruse, by which they sacrificed nothing,
and which, it was calculated, might moderate
the resentment that was certain to be shown
when the news reached England. In India the
effects of the Afghan defeat are already pain
fully obvious.

Depression in the Money Markets.

LONDON, April 20.-The stock market opened
dull but became distinctly fatter on rumors
of hitch in the negotiations between England
Russia. Closing prices were not quite the worst
of the day. The feeling towards the close of
business was gloomy, reports from continental
business Of lower prices helping TO increase the
depression. Business was restricted, operators
prefer ag TO await events.
The Paris Bourse opened firm, but closed at
general decline on alarmist advices from London
and Berlin.
The Berlin Bourse was heavy and prices were
lower, because of adverse rumors from London.
Russian securities fell 2 per cent. The bourse
at Frankfort on the-Main was weak, in sympathy
with the feeling in other cities.
At Vienna there was a weak feeling on the
bourse to- day, in sympathy with the depression
of other bourses.
