Museoylte arms were once more turned to-
ward the Oxus. Gen. Kaufmann's attack
upon Khiva was crowned with success.
The khanate was added TO the Russian con-
quests in Toorkistan. and the Oxus passed
into Russia's control.
The khanate OF Kholand has been so
completely absorbed by the Russian mill
tary government that its name has disap-
peared from recent maps. Bokhsra and
khiva are still nominslly ruled by their old
sovereigns. but they are merely dependen-
cies of Russia, and pay heavy tribute for
the privilege Of retaining semblance Of
autonomy. The Khan of Khiya is not per-
mitted to have an army, and his subjects
have been stripped Of their weapons. He
is so far o more completely subjected
prince than the Ameer OF Bokhara, who is
permitted to maintain an army Of 10000
men, which he has pledged himself to
place at the disposal of the Russian COM
mander, and which, according to MI.
Boulger, will prove a serviceab,e auxiliary
corps.
