Mirthful Argument IN the House OF
Commons.


LONDON, March 13.-In the House
of Commons this afternoon Glads' one
announced an agreement arrived at
between Russia and England by the
terms of which neither Russian nor
Afg,an forces would advance any
further on either side of the frontier
Sir Stafford Northc0te asked
whether this agreement was per-
manent or temporary arrangement.
Gladstone replied that the agree
ment was without any specified linn
it. The best description he could
give was that the agreement was to
last as long as there was occasion for
it. (Laughter.) This agreement
provides against the rupture of
friendly relations between the two
governments in the event of COILS
ion between Afghan and Russian
outposts, which might possibly occur
while instructions are being con-
veyed to the opposing commanders.

PARIS, March 13.-Baron Mohn-
enheim. Russian Ambassador, has
been interviewed in regard to the
present Anglo-kussian situation.
He expressed the opinion that EN-
per0r William would exert his lnflu-
ence to avert war, and also endeavor
to induce England to make some
concessions. He secuted the idea
that Russia would withdraw her
troops from the positions at present
occupied. Such action would reflect
dishonor upon Russian arms. In
case England did not declare war,
he was certain, in his opinion, Rus
sia would not do 90. He thought it
extremely unlikely England would
declare war, as she has her hands
full already. Eegiers. Russian Prime

2. Sterling and report to the Com
mSsioners when said examination
was completed. G. G. Reynolds
was appointed to examine the books
and records of Alexander III. Beattie
and report to the same body. 1t is
thought by many that the deficits
Of the three officers will aggregate
many thousands of dollars. T0-mOr--
rows Independent will contain the
following statement of Mr.. Roberts
case: ':There has been a report for
several DAYS that the, books of ex-
Treasurer Kemp Roberts show de-
ficit of some $4,000. Mr.. Roberts
claims that there must be some mis-
take, and that an examination of the
books by an expert will show
some mistake in the entries.
On March 18th the board
Of county commissioners made the
following order, "Ordered, the ex-
treasurer of this county having shown
his accounts to the commissioners
for settlement it appeared to them by
said statement that deficit exists,
that the sum of $50, 7l2. 81 is due said
county over and above what has
been paid into the present treasurer,
it is ordered that the clerk spread
this on the minutes and that he for
mally notify and demand from his
the above amount.
