THE TABLES TURNED.
Gladstono's apparent hesitation ovei e
the KushB river affairs has embodied
Russia and sEeis now taking her turn in
| demanding explanations and with
drawals. Tho report Ii confirmed that
de Giers has demanded an explanation
of the presence Of Capt Yates, Of Cen.
Lumsden's staff, at Tho kushk river
battle and of the part ho is said to have
| taken in provoking that engagement.
Special dispatche : from st. Petersburg
even assert that Ru9sia has demanded
the recall of Gen. Lums5en himself,
on the ground of his pronounced sym
pathy with the Afghans in their hos
tility toward Russia, but this statement
is doubtful.
The government is.
STILL wRANoLINo WITH TURKEY
over the terms of the proposed Anglo
Turkish alliance. Long Interviews be-
tween Earl Granville and Musurus
Pasha, the Turkish minister,and Fehmi
Pasha, the sultan's speoia, envoy, are OF
daily occurrence. The snltan is coy and
is cOquetting with both England and
Russia. He probably never felt his inn
portance in European politics so keenly
as at this moment. When Gladstone
formerly described him IL was as "un
speakable." The Turk is bidding for
his favor against the Russians who
making tempting ov5rtures to Turkey, |

friendship is, of course, caused by the |
latter's control Of the Dardanelles,
which command the entrance to the |
Black Sea. There Is, however, this inn |
portant difference between the suitors |
for Turkeys favor: England could |

from the Egean Sea to the Sea of Mar
mora, but the forts could be- silenced by |
two or three of the British monster |
turret ships, such az the Invincible,
the Devastation, the Terror, the Alex-
andria or the Hercules. Then, these
floating steel forts could be stationed at
either end of the straits TO protect the |
English and exclude the Russian ves-
sells. These facts are as well known to |
the sultan as to the British admiralty, |
and it is firmly believed here that his
friendship will eventually be given to
tho side carrying the heaviest guns.
The cabinet council assembled at Up. |
m. and is now being held. Nothing is
known as to tho subject under discus
sion, but it is believed 10 90 with refer |
ence to tho Anglo Russian difficulty.
A HORROR FEARED.
1t is feared that the steamer Magneta,
belonging to the Eastern Extension
Telegraph company, has beon lost in the
Bay Of Biscay. She had large staff of
telegraph officials on board.
RECRUITING FOR THE NAVY.
Recruiting for the British navy con
tinues with great activity. The admi-
rally have invited navy pensioners to
volunteer.
AUSTRALIA ACTIVE.
Active preparations for war are at
present making in all the Australian
colonies.
SORT OF AN ENGLISH BACKDoWS.
In the cabinet consultation to-day tho
Anglo Russian situation, it is said, wa3
represented to be as follows: England
and Russia have agreed upon basis df
delimintation OF the Afghan frontier,
subject to a satisfactory explanation by
Russia of the recent attack on the
Afghans. According to this scheme it
is said that Penjdeh will be cedei to
Russia, provided the ameer consents.

perial pensioners, on being paid 5o-day,

between England and Russia all under
80 years Of age might be called on to
