SPEECH,

SPEECH.
London, April l0.-Eyen the most
sanguinc believer in peace wouItlh have
been converted last night c0ufd he
have heard Mr.. Gladstone's martial
statement in the house. Old MEM
bers say he was never before so pa
thetic yet powerful. His care err as
friend of Russia was In no listeners
mind half so clearly rs in his own. lie
spoke slowly, carefully, and with
purely artificial emphasis, but all his
words were distinctly threatening,
and his information was altogether
warlike. The speech pleased most
those who are most anxious TO have
the fight out now with Russia.
NO REPLY FROM RUSSIA TO ENC. >ND's
ULTIMATUM.
London, April 10--It was stated AT
the foreign office this afternoon that
Russia had not vet replied to the de.
mand of England for full explana.
ton respecting the Russian attack on
the Afghans.
Most of the owners of collieries In
England and Wales have cancelled all
orders for Goals TO be shipped to Rus
STA, even at risk of being sued for
breach of contract.
The Post in an editorial says IL is
almost impossible to deal patiently
with Mr.. Gladstone's statement that
he had asked Russia to explain the
attack upon the Afghans, and the adj
ditional statement that DeGiers hoped
the incident might not interrupt the
peace negotiations. even those most
DESTROYS of peace" the Post SAYS,
must feel that all negotiations are
now closed. The question lies in a
nutshell. Russia either did or did not
acquaint Gen. Komarcff with the
agreement of March IL.
THE LONDON PRESS OPINIONS ON THE
SITUATION.
London, April l0.-The daily News
says: The agreement between Eng
land and Russia that there should be
no advance of outposts must now have
reached the chief of the Russians sta
toned on the Afghan frontier. If
that agreement can be adhered to war
may still be avoided. The crossing
of the Kushk river by the Afghans
might have justified further advance
on the part of the Russians, but not u
direct appeal to arms. War can now
only be avoided by prompt disa-
vowal by Russia of Gen. Komarofirs
action, a guarantee against its repeti-
ton. and by honorable action on her
part regarding the joint boundary
commission which, up to the present
time, the Russians have Knocked and
evaded. Past efforts give little ground
for hope or belief that Russia will OBJ
serve with greater fidelity her obliga-
tiohs in the future.
