NOTES ON the FOREIGN SITUATION.

LONDON, May I'm Commons this after.
noon Mr.. Gladstone announced peace ar
rangement between this Government and
Russia. The conservatives held meeting
and decided that it would be impolitic TO
oppose the vote Of credit. A commuuica-
ton from, the Russian Government defines
,ha scope Of arbitration. Ii is not to in.
clude the military question, but is 70
be limited to the considerations Of
explanations with reference to alleged vio-
la,ion Of the convention. The terms Of the
arrangement indicate that the arbitraiors
traction will be to find formula Of con-
citation consistent with the amour propre OF
both sides. Emperor William will be
asked to act as arbitrator, and il is expected
that be will consent.
LONDON, May THE Government con-
tinues to give out large orders for war stores
Of all kinds. The Admiralty is surveying
additional steamers with view Of freight
ing or purchasing them. Though the Rus.
sian papers are not so ou,spoken as they
formerly were, probably in consequence of
their Governments hints, it is well known
that Russia is making strenuous efforts to in
crease her armament. The Indian banks
have given notice that they will not ad.
vance money against shipments unless ves.
sells are insured at war risks. The Ia.
dian Government is enforcing rigid economy
in. all departments to meet the ex'
renses of war preparations, in order TO
avoid the levying Of fresh taxes, which
would be likely TO disturb the native loyalty.
Ii is reported that the Aighsns Of Badak-
shan have asked TO be annexed TO Russia,
and negotiations toward that object are pro.
ceedipg through the Ameer OF BokhAra, and
the Governor OF Turkestan. Many Conti-
mental papers are still skep,ical OF q peace
fil issue OF the dispute. The Pesther Lloyd
saws that trifiing fresh mishap on the
Afghan frontier, may annihilats oil hopes Of
peace. The Deutche Zei,ung saws that
Russian diplomacy Is not as yet anywhere
near the end Of It's arti6ces and tricks. Rus.
sia may again and again put difficulty in
the way Of q settlement, and perhaps at last
openly declare that she will make no con-
cession in the boundary question.
Right TO the Point.
The London Standard in referring TO the
Queens return from DarmstAdt says that
everything has been done TO drug the ns.
ton into slumber philters Of rhetoric and
adulation having been copiously applied 10
stupefy its conscience. Parliament partici-
pn,es In the sleep as i; has participated also
in the draueht, but the Grown does no,
share in the general aoasement and 10, per.

China and Russia Involved.
Dispatches from Shanghai state that the
dispute between China aud Russia regard
ing the frontier OF Mnnchooria has become
acute owing 10 the non arrival Of the Rus
gisn members of the Delimitstion Com mis-
sion and The constant postponement Of the
date of their arrival nj the place Of meeting

The Chinese Commissioners have been
ready for months TO begin the work OF de-
limitation, md the failure Of the Russian
Com mmissioners to meet them, has caused
the Cbinese Government 70 fear iha, the
same farce enacted respecting the Afghan
frontier, will be performed in this case.
