troops toward Zulikar, and the retreat OF the Eng

between the two Governments are grave but not

THE SITUATION IN CENTRAL ASIA.
The situation is perfectly simple. The Ameer
wants Zulfkar Pass because through this dene lies
&he road to Herat Russia agreed to abandon her
claim. an impudent cne at BEST in return fol. the
oession of Penjdeh Having got Penjdeh, Russia
now tries to repudiate the bargain in order to get
Zulikar too Russia says she never meant 10 sur

these hiIls. according to Sir Peter Lumsden, and
Condie Stephen are essential to the military pos
session of the pass. which is worthless without
them. England has pledged herself to the Ameer'
who insists upon the fuIfilment of the pledge.
The Russian demand has two objects, first, to
ascertain whether Lord Salisbury is as "squeez-
mile as Lord Granville was; and second, to get
rid of arbitration on the Penjdeh incident. NJ de
(,iers has already intimated that he is ready 10
come 10 terms about Zufkar. If Lord Salisbury vii
drop arbitration. Lord Salisbury at present is dis
posed to convince Russia that in his opinion Eng
land has made concessions enough.
RESULTS OF FIRM DIPLOMACY
Continental opinion isc coming steadily round 70 the

A similar change is noticeable respecting Egypt
Negotiations are actively proceeding with the
nra,pect of a favorable result for the immediate

Dummond Wolff hopes to arrive at Cairo with
money in his pocket Lord Granville had aban-
doped the hope of carrying out the financial con-
vention before autumn.
THE TORY ALLIANCE WITH Mr.. PARNELI~
The coalition between the Tories and Parneiiites
seemingly imperled by Mr. Parnclrs motion for an
inquiry into the conviction of the Maamtrasna
murderers emerged from last nights depate
closer and more open than ever. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach though refusing the Parliamentary inquiry
pledged Lord Carnarvon to reopen the whole case
and declinedsto defend Lord Spencer. whom the
Parnellites accuse of cruelty and injustice Lord
Randolph Churchill went further and expressly
condemned him Both speeches we're wildly
.ehoered by tine Irish Members Mr.. Heay was
presently heard complimenting the Irish Secretary
Many Tories are dsgustcd, but Lord Randolph
Churchill is redeeming his pledges. Sir William
Harcourt and Lord Harrington vainly appealed to
the Government not to discredit the administration
of Justice IN Ireland. Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dixie quilted the House.
CRITICISMS on IRISH POLICY.
, The Liberals profess themselves astonshed at
the synical reputation 10y the Tories OF every view
on irish matters they have heretofore expressed.
The Daily Neus always friendly to Ireland, considers
the speeches made lat night from the Treasury
bench in direct contraventon of all traditions Oh
parliamentary and ministerial conduct, and atiirms
that the Administration knows nothing more
discreditable in parliamentary history than this
alliance except the efrontery with which 1T is dis
closed.
The Standard reproaches its own leaders with
their subservience to Mr. Parnell, and describes
Lord Spencer as the most conscientious OF
Viceroys It strongly censures the ministerial con-
cessions as encouraging belief in Ireland tAat TIE
change of Ministry means q general jail delivery.
The general effect of all this is to strengthen Mr.
Parnell enormously.
THE IASD pIIRCHAsE BILL.
Lord Ashbourne's Mr. Gibson) Land Purchase
bill introduced yesterday in the House OF Lords is
another step toward the creation Of peasant pro-
prietary in Ireland. Both parties practically concur
in the proposal which Lord Spencer supported as
means of relieving the present block in the Irish
land market. 1t differs from former measures in
giving more generous terms to purchasers IN re-
ducing the rate of interest," in extending the period
Of repayment, in advancing the whole purchase
money instead of threefourths Of it. in dispensing
with the local guarantee of repayment in cheaper
ing convey ances in expediting sales and in entrust
ing the execution of rho act to the present Land
Court with two additional Commissioners.
PARLIAMENTARY INCIDENTS.
Parliamentary incidents numerous for the
close of the session during which it was expected
that nothing would be done. The Tories are still
busy trumping Liberal cards. The Commons have
passed the bill for removing the disqualification on
account Of voters in receipt Of medical relief,
larger measure than the Radicals had proposed.
Lord Salisbury has introduced in the House OF
Lords, . very extensive bill for housing the work
