PEACEFUL ADJUSTMENT.
LONDON, March 14.-Mr. Gladstone an
nounced in the House of Commons last
evening that an agreement had been reached
between the Government and the Russian
officials, by which both powers pledge them
selves TO make no further advances In
Afghanistan pending negotiations looking
to an amicable and peaceful adjustment Of
the Russo-Afghan~ frontier question. Mr.
Gladstone further stated that the agreement
which had been arrived at between England
and Russia provides for a possible collision
between the Afghan and Russian outposts.
Should such an encounter occur, the present
arrangement would not be disturbed there
by, and the matter of the demarkatien Of
the frontier would still be possible.
The Premier was asked by Sir Stafford
Northcote, leader Of the Opposition, yheth-
Ter the agreement referred TO was fiHa., or
whether Its provisions would be observed
only temporarily.
Mr.. Gladstone's reply clearly showed the
y unsatisfactory nature of the understanding
with the Russian Government The agree
ment, he admitted was without any defini-
tive term of existence. The best description
he could give of 1t, he said, was that It would
last while there was occasion for 1t.
This novel statement was received with
laughter by the Conservatives, who appeared
10 regard 1t as one of the Premler's Jokes.
! The uncomfortable impression left upon
the minds of members by Mr.. GladstOne's S
explanation was deepened when the Mar
quis Of Harrington, Secretary of State for
War, replied to question from Conserva-
tive member by the frank statement that the
lGoyernment still felt great anxiety as to the
outcome of the Russian question.
Though the qualification caused in London
by Mr.. GladstOne's announcement OF an
amlcable understanding with Russia was
somewhat impaired by the bulletins descrlb-
ing the subsequent debate, there yet seems
TO be q general impression that even tenn
, porary agreement with the Car Is hopeful
indication when contrasted with the wholly
lunfavorable news which has been coming
from all sources for the past fortnight In
regard to the Afghan trouble.
The impression that war may be ayerted
lis strengthened by dispatch received last
might from ST. Petersburg, which states thai
lat levee held yesterday the Gar said, In
conversation with German officer: Il can
laot conceive that any but the widest
dreamers can think that / would declare
lwar with England. There Is not sufficient
|cause to warrant L. Russia can attain her
lends by the methods Of civilization, without
resort to force"
At conference OF the Irish leaders yes
;terdsy, II was decided To advise the Irish
people TO maintain an attitude Of neutrality

Princess Of Wales. Such dt Lnor Is
recommended as will, without being person
ially offensive, convince. the future ruler Of
Great Britain that an inalienable attachment
Ito their principles animates the people oi
Ireland. The manifesto also pronounceS
lthe visit inopportune in view OF the fact
THAT Earl Spencer's continued presence al
the Castle will make II necessary for the
Prince TO be officially received by the man
who in the least possible degree represents
the Irish people.
