ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
The Afghan Frontier Question i'm
Parliament.

The Afghan Frontier Question i'm
Parliament.
LONDON, March 16th.--In the House
of Commons to-day Mr.. Gladstone ex-
planned that England and Russia had
agreed, as he stated on Friday last,
that no further advance should be
made in Afghanistau. His agree
ment vas based upon an interchange
of communications carried on through
the British ambassador to st. Peters
burg. The latest communication on
the Afghan dispute received from the
ambassador was that of March 9Th /;
but to obviate any possible misunder-
standing, Granville, British Foreign
Secretary, Saturday last wired his
(Gladstone's) exact words to Thorn
ton, asking him to ascertain whether
the Russian Prime Minister under
stood as correct the statements by
Gladstone of the agreement reached
with Russia. AS yet no reply had
been received. Gladstone said there
had been no time to obtain the assent
of the Ameer of Afghanistan to the
terms of the arrangement made with
Russia. 1.-THE expression agree
ment,'" said Gladstone, conveys a
somewhat fallacious idea of what has
been obtained. L prefer the word
arrangement The telegram sent
by Granville on Saturday to Thorn
ton was merely intended to ascertain
whether the understanding of the de-
tails of this agreement or arrange
ment was correct. There is no ques-
ton as to the substance of it.
Harrington explained that the Rus
slams occupied Katan and Akrabat,
and that the Afghans still occupy
Penjdeh. He refused, on the ground
of public policy, to make any further
disclosures.
In the Commons this evening the
Government announced a telegram
from st. Petersburg fully confirming
Gladstone's view of the Anglo-Rus-
sian arrangement regarding outposts
on the Russo-Afghan frontier.
LONDON, March 17th.- Gladstone
this afternoon read dispatch from
Sir Edward Thornton, British Am
bassador 10 st. Petersburg, in reply
to Granville's request to know if
England's understanding of the ar
rangement with Russia was the same
as that entertained by De Giers.
h" De Gfers," Gladstone read, states
that the Russian troops will not adj
vance from the position now occupied
by them, provided the Afghans do not
advance, or unless some extraordi-
nary reason be given, such as dis
turbances in Penjdeh. Stringent or
ders have been sent to the Russian
commander to use every possible
means to avoid a conflict or excite
ment to a conflict. The above orders
will be repeated"
Several interrogatories were at
once put. Gladstone declined to
answer them, and deprecated any
further questioning of the Govern
ment upon the question at present.
He stated that the demands of the
British Government for the with
drawal of the Russians from their ad-

Kansas City. Mo-, June 80 "A very
bitter war betw cen prohibitionists
and anti-prohibitionists has been in
progress At Amourdhle, just across
the line, for several months past and
several persons, who have endeavored
TO smuggle liquor into the state, have
been arrested and fined for the offence.
j. Schankcnburg has been strong for
the prohibitionists in number of
cases and in consequence has gained
the i'll will, not only of the saloon
keepers but also number of citizens.
On Sunday night'a party of unknown
men rode up TO Schankenburg's house
and riddled it with bullets, but for
tunately the inmates escaped the bull
lets, they having retired to a safe spot
when the boinbardment began. The
shooting is supposed TO have been
done by parties who dislike Schanken
burg ON account of his attitude to
wards the liquor dealers.

Chicago, June 30.-At an early hour
his morning in an all night meeting
held by the conductors and car-dri-
ycrs association, motion that strike
of conductors on all of lines of the
West Side street railway be inaugu-
rated at 4 O'Clock this morning and
that every member of the association
be at the several barns at that hour TO
see that no cars be started, was car
ried with checrs. The demand for
tho reinstatement of fourteen dis
charged employees is the cause of the
strike. One thousand men are mem
beers of the association and the compa-
nv with whom they are contesting
owns / he street car facilities for the
entire portion of the city known as
the West Side. AS u consequence res
idents of that portion of the city, this
morning, are experiencing the beau
ties of an extended strike.
The street railway company at
tempted to run n car out at 10 o'clock
but crowd of 800 strikers and sym
pathizers pushed the conductor of the
car into the street; the latter drew a
revolver but did not fire. A deputy
sheriff interposcd TO protect the con-
ductOr and the driver was compelle d
to take the car back to the barn. The
company does not appear to be max
ing any adequate effort to move theil
cars and the thirty police on special
duty have thus far not interfered II
any way. The discomfort of thu
travelling public Is very great.

no power to punish them. So free
quently have they done this that ten
cents per acre, per year, would have
hardly rendered them as much. The
story that the Indian range was over

for one hundred times as much stock
