CONSERVATIVE CENSURE.
GLADSTONE HAS ANOTHER MAR
ROW ESCAPE.

Lord George Hamilton Leads in Saw
age Onslaught ON the Government
Lord Granville Announces an Agree
ment With Russia Whichis Satisrac-
tory to Those Concerned.
LONDON, May 11.-ConservatiYe papers
generally do not wish a vote adverse to
the government on the war credit, but
consider that the government ought to
give the opposition more information as
to the present state of affairs. All tele-
grams from India deny the reported resig-
nation of Lord Dufferin. The military
party in Russia continues to spread re-
ports to the discredit of England. The
latest is that the Russians captured at
Pendjeh some of Sir Peter Lumsden's dis
patches, proving that he encourages the
Afghans to invite collision with the Rus
slams; that copies of these documents
were sent to the English Cabinet, and
that therefore Sir Lumsden was recalled.
st. Petersburg advces through Vienna
report that quantities of gunpOwder and
dynamite are being stored at the several
cOaling stations. Work continues on the
CrOnstadt feet.
RAW RECRUITS.
Odessa kilograms state that the troops
which passed there, just mObilized from
the reserves, were a horde of unkempt
peasant youths, ignorant Of the use of
rifles which some of them were hardly
able to carry.
Hungarian papers report that Pc
ter, son Of the late Prince Kara
georgenitz, has gone to st. Peters
burg to endeavor to obtain Russian sup
port should he issue a manifesto assert
ing his right to the throne of Servia. He
also hopes that his father-in-law, the
Prince of Montenegro, will support his
claim by force of arms. Vienna news
papers are agreed that the Prince as a
possible tool Of Russia must be closely
watched. Betgr0ce, the official paper,
denies his hereditary right to the title Of
Prince.
THE FEELING OF THE MARKETS.
Both home and foreign stocks closed
firm at the best prices of the day.
At Berlin the feeling on the 5ourse to-
day was strong owing to the reduction of
the Bank OF Germany's rates Of discount
and favorable London adVices.
The Paris bOurse to-day was firm and
closed very strong.
THE RUSSIAN RAILWAYS.
The railway plant which had been col
lected for the Russian line from the Cau-
casus to he Black Sea has been diverted
to the construction of a strategic line
from VladikaVkaz to Petrotfsk on the
Caspian Sea.
1t is reported that a permanent garri-
son of 5000 men is to be stationed at Sc
bastopOl.

In the pending arrangement with
Russia Earl Granville maintains theright

THE CREDIT.
LONDON, May II, 3 A. M.-The Nelcs
this morning says that the government is
willing to make concessions for the relief
of local taxation and to defray portion
of the registration expenses this year,
leaving the whole question of rating to
be dealt with by the next Parliament.
The Liberal whip has been Loyalty an
swered. On the division il is expected
that there will be a small government
majority. The Indian Government has
asked that 1000 reinforcements be sent to
India in July.
The Times, in an editorial on Lord
George HamiltOns motion of censure,
says that the oppOsition's case was pre-
seDted at the proper time. Lord George
Hamilton, however, the ! ines thinks,
ought TO have withdrawn his
amendment after the official dOcu-
ments concerning the Afghan ques-
tiOn had been promised. and should have
reserved the indictment for time when
he could have made it complete.
The Standard says that the majority by
which the government carried their point
will not rehabilitate their reputation.
