LONDON, June 29.-The death of the
Emperor William promises to be the
uext great sensation In Europe. Extra
precautions are being taken
to prevent the sending Of any kilograms
His Majesty's real condition,
but priv vate letters give such discour-
aging forecasts that the news Of his
demise is daily expected.
There are hints of second and sacred
treaty of Windsor, that bad really more
to do with tho change In tho admins
tration than the vague and shadowy
promises made by Gladstone. Accord
ing to this story tho Grown Princess
Victoria assured her mother that the
death of the Emperor was only ques-
ton of few weeks, that upon the
accession of Frederick William to the
Imperial throne of Germany the influ-
ence of Prince Bismarck would cease to
be Q predominant and disturbing ele.
ment in European politics, and that If
England would heartily support the
colonizing enterprises Of Germ any,
which are tho Grown Princes pet hob
bies, there would be no obstacle to an
Russia In Afghan istAn, France in
every where.
All this being represented TO Lord
Salisbury opened up to HIM prospoct
Of being able to strsighten out tho for
eign relations, which had been left in q
seemingly hopeless tangle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British Empire
in India, to retain control of Egypt and
generally to restore the imperial pres
tige of England throughout the world.
w ith these grand results accomplished
or shown to bo in fair way Of being
accomplished, the Tories could 70 be-
fore the country in November with .
good chance of reversing the present
Liberal majority and making their ten.
ure Of Office permanent. 1t was this line
of argument, it Is said. which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept
office, but cause,i him TO adopt the un-
precedented course Of combining the Of
dce of secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs with tho prsmiership, 80 as TO
keep the delicate negotiations Of the
next few weeks or months carefully
within his.own control.
LONDON, June 29.-Despatches from
Cabul and Tehuan report that lisa
Khan, q prominent Afghan, who was
one of the chief supporters OF the pre-
tender, Ayoub Khan, has seized Khana-
l. Bad, principal city Of the province
of Kundurz, in Afghan. .Turkestan.
lisa Khan is at the head of o large num-
Der of men, and supported by Russian
allies and influence. Treasure valued
at q million sterling, belonging to the
. Ameer Abdurrahman, has been looted
by him from the captured town, and
the Alneer's governor, Abdullah Khan !,
, has been defeated in o desperate and
sanepinary battle with the rebels.
This news has caused great excite
lment throughout London. Lord Duf
ferin has been telegraphed to for the
I fullest information he can obtain, and,
should it be proven thar Russian
ofsioinia arc In any way implicated, 3
vigorous remonstrance will be made
Immediately In st. Petersburg. Equal
excitement prevails in Afghan centres,
where the Russians are openly accused
Of having oonnived at and planned the
raid. Rsprisals are threatened, and it
. is feared that complications of much
more serious nature than have as yet
arisen will grow ont of the affair. Re-
Inducements of the Ameer's troops are
moving Northw ard.
