LONDON, May 6.-The Daily Telegrsph's
| Tirpul correspondent says: The best in
formed Afghans and Persians, as we'll as
the inhabitants of Herat and Candahar,
fearing Russian aggression, court British
| occupation. The Afghan loss at Penjdeh
was 237.
The Telegraph urges the Conservatives
to agree to the vote of credit. 1t says the
danger has not passed.
Salisbury, Conservative leader in the
House of Lords, said in a speech this
evening that the proposed additional tax
| on barley meant increased distress in the
agricultural districts.
1t is officially explained that Sir Peter
| Lumsden has not been recalled from
Afghanistan in the diplomatic sense of the
word, but has been summoned to London
to address the Government upon the tech
meal matters regarding the delimitation of
the frontier.
The Russian Ambassador and Earl
Granville had a long conference to-day on
the question of what guarantees should be

Herat. 1t is reported that Granville pro-
posed making q treaty %pledging Russia
against further advance and recognizing
the English protectorste in ~Afghsnistan.
Some uncertainty still RENAME in diplo-
matte and official circles as to the mainte-
nance of peace. Naval M military work
will continue until both branches are fully
supplied with stores.
Consols opened at SO, but shortly after
noon advanced to t~hree-eighths, and are
now quoted at 98h. Russian securities are
GIN. Stocks are quiet. Home and for
eign securities are steady.
The Times this morning complains Of
the reticence and ambiguity Of the state
ment Of the Government in regard to the
Afghan question. 1t also severely criti-
cizes the action of the Government in re-
calling Sir Peter Lumsden, as the frontier
question will be all settled before he can
possibly arrive in London, and that,
therefore. any information he may have
given will be worthless, 30 far as me-
gotiations with Russia in London are
concerned. The Times also says that the
change of the purpose Of the Ameer of At
ghanistan has placed the British Govern
ment in a different position, and that it is
time to make him understand that he must
strongly garrison Herat, and at least allow
the English to superintend the fertilization
of the place. Even if peace should be
temporarily secured, it would be madness
to waste the time thus gained which, at the
best. can be but small.
The Standard, in an editorial says;
1.-THE recall of Lumsden completes the
picture Of English humidity"
1t is now asserted in official circles that
Denmark is willing to act as arbitrator OF
the dispute between England and Russia,
should her services be requested by bo th
of these countries.

A Terrible Accident.
BROOKLYN, May 6.-Shortly after
O'Clock this morning there wal a crash al
IS Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. and the
people on looking up from the streets saw
that the roof of the building had fallen in,
and that a portion Of the walls had top
pied. They could hear the screams Of the
people injured, and it seemed but q mo.
ment when q volume of smoke rolled up
showing that the building had taken fire.
Hundreds of people, men, women and
girls, we're at work at the various branches
of business carried on in the building,
which covers considerable ground, having
wings, which extend through from Allan
tic to State streets. As soon as the crash
Of the falling roof was heard, hundreds of
those employed in the building endeavored
to make their way out by every avenue Of
escape and some who were the last to reach
the street appeared with begrimed faces
and blood streaming from their wounds,
which they had received from the falling
timbers. The excitement in the neighbor-
hood became very great, and in o short
time the wives OF the men who were known
to be working in the buildings and the
parents OF the girls who are employed
blocked the streets. Three alarms of fire
were sent out, and the services of q large
number OF the police had to be called in
to keep the people out Of the way Of Serge.
II was reported at first that about one
hundred girls who were employed in the
Milo Hynes Boiling Works, which was on
the top floor where the roof fell in, were
killed; but it appears that most Of the girls
made their escape by climbing on the roof
Of a tenement house.
Arrested at Auckland.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-Extradition papers
were prepared here to-day to be sent to
Auckland, New Zealand, for Maxwell, the
Southern Hotel murderer. No agent for
the State has yet been appointed to go for
Maxwell, there being some doubt as to the
manner OF his being appointed. There is
no need for hurry, however, as the officer
who goes cannot leave San Francisco be-
fore June 6, when the next Auckland
steamer sails.
Kelly Objected To.
