Granville admitted that Russian troops had
been advanced ntO the disputed territory o.

Russia earnestly pressing her TO give
stringent orders to her military commando
to refrain from any forward movement
which would be likely to bring about col
| lsion between Russian and Afghan outposts.
"In reply TO our remonstrance Russia de-
clined. on February 24, to withdraw her
advanced posts at Sarzari and Tulhkur Pass ,
but gave the assurance that the Russian of
| ficers had been ordered to carefully avoid
conflicts with the Afghans, aud no compli-
| cations need be feared. In the event of at
tacks being made by the Afghans on Rus
sian posts, Sir Peter Lumsden exerted hIm-
self to prevent collisions, and has advised
the Afghans to maintain themselves at the
! posts they now occupy. This advice has
! been approved by Her Majesty's Govern
ment. SIR Peter Lumsden has been in
structed to urge the Afghaus at the same
time to refrain from advancing bey ond their
present frontier. Negotiations are now
( in progress between Her Msjesty's Govera-

WAsHINGroN, Feb. 1t is sduring hours
like those which have been passing within
the last forty eight hours that the average
Congressman and Senator esrEs and receives
the curses of his constituents, Nearly every
Representative has messureiin some of the
appropriation bills which is Local to his dis
tuct. Many have number pf them. The
work on these measures is bling done re-
gardless of personal favor. One house will
strike out some of these clau as or a confer
ence committee will do so, and the other
branch will concur and the work final will
be completed under suspi.nsion of Il =
rules, so that debate and amendments ara
out of order and repairs can rot be made.
The Sundry Civil bill has been terribly
disfgured by the Senate. Sec res OF sections
and clauses have been amended in the Sen

renee, under a suspension ;Of rules. The
House has done the same thnsg with Senate
amendments, and the confe.esce committees
have so taken unlimited Ii ,erty with the
appropriation bills. All thss has played
havoc with the personal intsra asts of Senators
and Representatives.
During such times ample opportunity is
afforded for embittered Senator'S and mem.
bers to ''get even" with those who have in
vited their i'll will. The revi.ion of appro.
pristion bills is conducted SO that it is
impossible almost to sscertsiDs why a thing
is done. If q member Senator has 8
friend on a conference committee he can
even up with an enemy having an interes,
in clause, and it can not be learned how or
why il was done.
