THEAMEER PREPARING FOR WAR The lingo Policy of France and Eng-
 Iand-The Tories Preparing to LiOn-
 fze Sir Peter Lumsden.
 LONDON, May 19.-A Paris correspondent states that the ''jingo" policy of France in China, Madagascar and elsewhere has in- creased her national debt by S100,00 ,00O. This is interesting in comparison with the estimate of S55,OO0, ,000 for the British war expenses actual and prospective. It is also questioned whether France has really achiev ed anything more tangible than England has. The correspondent incidentally illustrates the difference between English and French methods of conducting public finances by saying that while nos one would dream of suspecting one of MT. Gladstone's Cabinet of speculating no one in France supposes for moment that ''the gentlemen are so foolish as to neglect their opportunities. Scandals of course grow out of this state of affairs, in the case of the accusations recently made against M. Ferry.
 The Tories are preparing to Gonize Sir Peter Lumsden upon his arrival from Af ghanistan. They will try to make out that he has been offered up as sacrifice to Rus sia by the Liberal high priests. An effort will be made to have the freedom of the city of London conferred upon him.
 LONDON, May 20-The Standards despatch from Cabul states that the Ameer of Afgha- nistan, alarmed at England's failure to resent Russian encroachments upon his domains, is preparing for the worst. He has sent the royal treasures to Badakshan and is retiring himself with the flower of his army to that famous stronghold in the Hindoo-Koohs mountains.
 dispatch from Tirpu1 says that MT. Gladstones statement that Sir Peter Lums- den urged the transfer of the boundary com mission to London is inaccurate. The fact is that Sir Peter, seeing that the commission was powerless, suggested that the Cabinet had better complete the frontier negotia- tions. The above dispatch is probably in spired b. Sir Peter himself.
 BOMBAY, May 19.-Warlike preparations continue throughout India with no sign of relaxation. Great quantities of munitions are being massed at the military depots and the work on the railway from Pishin through to Bolan Pass is being pushed.
