The interesting features of the sixth, AMI

Judgment is clear on this point. That TINS
noble speech, which on its face meant war ana
nothing less, should prove when read between
the lines an Ingenious apology for proposals ior
peace, is Que of the most singular bits oil Dypiay
in the diplomatic campaign of startling sur
prises recently enacted.
Two ominous facts appear in our correspond
ents admirable review of the weeks negotia-

tion is regarded in England, and the astonlsh-
ment and dismay created by the unexpected re-

ton. He has not only acquitted General
Komaroff in advance, but has overwhelmed him
with praise and distinction. He has made tue
case his own. and accepted the responsibility
for a battle fought even days after tidings OF
the DIPLOMATIC truce were received at General
Komaroffs headquarters. To submit that case
IN the arbitration of the King of Denmark
would involve a confession of Imperial guilt
since il is incredible that the battle could have
been fought without orders from st. Peters

TURNING A DEFENDANT INSIDE OUT

TURNING A DEFENDANT INSIDE OUT
The terrors of incarceration for debt in the old
Fleet Prison, in London. have been graph
icaIly described by many writers, and the
wretched lot of poor prisoners whom UNI
relenting creditors throw into Ludlow oueet
Jail IS familiar to readers of the New-York press
But we doubt If ever unhappy inmates OF jail or
prison suffered more torment than do the mlseraDIe
victims of the unsparing examinations TO whlch
the defendants IN supplementary proceedings
are now subjected. How any man dares fall into
debt in these days with the fear of such screening
inouisition before his eyes passes understanding.

uR ScHUYLER ON THE AFGHAN DISPUTE.

MR. SCHUYLER on THE AFGHAN DISPUTE
An interesting article by Mr.. Eugene Schuyler
on the Anglo Afghan dispute appears IN 10
davis TRIBUNE. 1t is well to examine both SIDES
of every question, and Mr.. Schuyler presents
what il in the main the Russian view OF the
case. Many of his statements are open to ques-
,ion especially that concerning the occupation
If Penjdeh by the Afghans. 1t is no longer
doubtful that the Ameer had exercised SOW
ereicnty over Peujdeh for many years prevl-
ously, the proof being that he had collected
taxes there. 1t is equally certain that up 10
1881 the Russian stat maps included Penldeh
in Afghan territory, and that as late as 1882 NJ.
de Giers distinctly admitted this to be the fact.
1t is equally true that the occupation oil PenJdeh
by the Afghans was not at once proteSted
against by Russia: for this occupation took
place before the arrangement of the Boundary
Commission, and the Russian advance was
made several months subsequently.
Mr.. Schuylers remarks concerning the in
vasion of India are partly but not wholly just
It is possible. though by no means certain. that
Russia entertains no idea of menacng India.
The arguments against such a scheme drawn
from the extent of the territory, its indebted
ness, etc. are not cogent. History shows that
such considerations have never prevented un-
wieldy conquests when circumstances have
made them POSSIBLE 1t is true that Russia
wants access to Underwater, and in Europe but
she would probably take it. in Asia If she could
get it, and if the conquest of India became
feasible through a native revolt there Is no good
ground for assuming that she would not hold
the country, as she holds the Khanates. Mr..
Schuylers observations on England's difficulties
with Afghanistan are weigbtier. The question
whether it is possible to make the northern
frontier of that country the outwork OF India is
q very serious one. and the reluctance of the
present English Government to make Russian
encroachment there a caSs belh may be partly
due to the conviction that this would involve
conflict too far from the English base of supplies
not TO be dangerous. Mr.. Schuyler IL scarcely
fair to Mr.. Charles Marvin. who is so far from
being an extremist that until recently he was
accused by many English journals of favoring
the Russians unduly.

CHANCES OF ARBITRA TON.

Arbitration il the peace-makeI's last ditch.
II has been occupied by the diplomatists on
both sides since the official contradiction OF
General Komaroffs advance to Maruchak. The
Car is again represented as making pacific
overtures through Baron de Staal and the
British Ministry are credited with proposal to
submit the PeDjdeh outrage to the arbitrament
of a European sovereign, presumably the hIng
of Denmark, on the condition that the joint
Boundary Commission shall enter upon It's
work Immediately OH the basis agreed upon
before the massacre of the Afghan troops.
These and other peace rumOrs encourage the
most credulOus journal in London to declare
that the prospect Of averting war Is brighter
than il has been at any time since the opening
of the negotiations. This Ieassuring conclusion
is only family echoed by our cautious and
well-informed London correspondent, who dis
sects that journals argument and hnds 1t spe-
cions and contradictory. Nevertheless he is con-
strained to admit that Englishmen to-day be-
lieve that peace is more likely than war, al
though they are unable to give intclliglblc
reasons for this assumption. The supreme de-
cision was probably reached by the Car S
Council which was in session yesterday. If the
military party have found unexpected diff
entities in concentrating an army in Central
Asia. or on sober second thought have deemed
it expedient to defer war to more convenient
season, hostilties may yet be averted. Mean
while, the military preparations are proceeding
with undated vgor, and the probabilities OF
war. while sensibly diminished, are still alarm
ing.
One of the most curious features of our
special cable dispatches is the side light that is
thrown upon Mr.. Gladstone's speech. When
it was made week ago it was considered both
in England and on the Continent as equivalent
to declaration of war; But no sooner had the
country expressed admiration of its elevation Of
style, dignity of manner and profound regard
for the highest principles of international
morality, than the suspicion was aroused that
its real purpose had been misunderstood. In
stead Of being warning to the nation that war
