THE AFGHANISTAN SITUATION.
Russia Determined on War With England
-The British Cabinet nIy-shaIlying.

LONDON March $50 far rs London is
concerned. the situation in Afghan remains
apparently unchanged; but 90 far as st.
Petersburg is concerned. there is no doubt
among the well informed Englishmen that
change has been steadily progressing in the
shape of a continued advance southwark
and redoubled efforts to back this advance
up by any kind of warfare found necessary.
All the Indicators worthv of 3 statesmsn's
notice point to aggression on the part OF
Russia and to diplomatic retreat on the part
of England. The Parisian report telegraphed
to London last evening that NJ. De Giers
had rendered his resignation as Prime
Minister of Russia is the biggest
straw blown by the wind in the
direction of war. Two explanations are
given Of this alleged resignation. 0ne is
that NJ. De Giers offered his resignation be-
cause he found his pacific policy frOwned on
by the Gar; the other is that his resignation
was asked because he went too far in assQr-
ing England that Russia would maintain
the Afghan satU quo. In the recent tele.
graphic correspondence with Mr. Gladstone
the Russian, it will be remembered, prom
ised Mr.. Gladstone that they would not al
vance unless some extraordinary reason"
such as provocation On the part CT the Af
ghans, made it necessary. 1t was
pointed out at the time that if
Russia desired an excuse for advancing
it was easy to provoke the Afghans
to prov Oke the Russians This initial work
OF provoCation has, it is reported, been
adopted. When asked how many troops
she had concentrated in the neighborhood of
PeDjdeh, Russia answered: Only about
sc, Co.," That number was considered too
large, and Colonel Ridgew way, of General Sir
Peter Lumsden's Afghan frontier surveying
party, was at once put to fortifying Psnjdeh.
This conduct on the part OF British officer
has, it seems been accepted as a provocI.
( ton. 1t is reported that the Russians ha 7e
made of il an excuse for advancing, and
that they have begun the advcnce.
Colonel Ridgeway has informed the British
Government tnst General Komsrof has
openly threatened TO capture Penjdeh.
While Russia is thus alert, Mr.. Gladstone's
Liberal parts Continues 10 quarssl over the
| advisability of making warllke resistance to
the advance toward the Quesns Empire of
India. These disseDs ons paralyzs State
action by the British Cabinet. The ma ajority
OF Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet seem incurably
afflicted with political shilly- -shally, and they
act as If craftsmanship at the present grave
| juncture consisted of accepting without
! question Russian pledges, in spite OF the
teachings of history that Asistic promises
delivered in refrigerator at st. Petersburg
melt below the thirty sixth parallel.

Pickpockets workiug a church.

ELMIRA, n. Y, March 22.-Perhaps the
most exciting topic that has agitatsd church
circles in this city for a long time was the
systematic robbery of attendants at Park
Church during several months past. Sew
eral weeks ago several members OF the
church complained of missing money from
their pockets, as well as various articles of
wearing apparel. But little attention was
paid to the matter until conversation among
lady members OF the congregation disclosed
the fact that several of them had been rob

they had kept the subject of their losses to
themselves. After an exchange of views it
