Montreal express at 1:50 this morning, bound

party were within a mile and half
of the Canadian line. A special engine and
single baggage car were coupled to the Presi-
dents car at the Point, and it was quickly pulled
out of sight. greatly to the astonishment of sew
eral enterprising gentlemen who had been sit
ting up all night watching for that car, with the
determination of sticking closely to it until it
reached its destination. At Mora, on the Og
densburg 6 Lake Champlain railroad, dozen
miles beyond Malone, the special was switched
off on the Northern Adirondack railroad, and
was drawn into the wilderness a distance of
thirty y-four miles. As the President and his

LoS~Sg, Aug. ia meeting of hop farmers
from alt the hop-growing districts in England
was held at Turnbrdge to-day. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted declaring that the
present depression in the hop growing industry

than can be obtained by home producers. The
resolutions suggest as remedies legislative regu-

DIPLOMACY.
The Russo-Afghan Dispute Will Be Settled
by the Foreign Offlce Direct

The Russo-Afghan Dispute Will BE Settled
by the Foreign Offce Direct.
LONDON. Aug 1.-THE Pail Mall Gazette says
it Is glad the Afghan commission has been re-
called as it will hasten settlement of the ques-
tion of the ownership of Knomiab, which Russia
claims by direct negotiations between London
and ST. Petersburg.
The ST. James Gazette says the question is as
far from settlement as it was fifteen months
ago. Russia claims Khomiab and the Afghan
government refuses to give it up. A conflict is
likely to occur at any moment, the Gazette says
and it rests with England TO say what it will
and can do to prevent its allies from being plum
dered. The task of Lord Iddesleigh, Foreign
Secretary, will be easier when he is relieved of
this useless and embarrassing commission
The Globe says that nothing would suit Russia
better than to keep the Khomiab question open
and to revive it when it suits her.
The Cabinet sat to-day from noon until 2
o'clock. The Queens speech was considered and
approved The Afghan difficulty was also dis
cussed. 1t is understood that Colonel Ridgeway,
of the British-Afghan commission, has been re-
called because he felt that the difference be-
tween Russia and England had better be dealt
with by the Foreign Office.
Baron De Staal, the Russian ambassador, is in
London.
LATER-The report that the government had
decided upon the immediate withdrawal of the
Afghan boundary commission is officially de-
MED. The government is awaiting Russia's re-
ply respecting small portion of the Afghan
boundary not yet settled, in the Oxus district
Until the reply has been received no decision
will be taken respecting the date of the withdraw
al of the commission; but whatever may be the
nature of the reply, the commission will return
to India before the winter In spite of the Of
fetal denial, it is believed in wellnformed cir
cles that the Standard is virtually correct in
stating that the government has asked Russia
for yes or no reply. 1t is not likely, however,
that such reply will be given.
A dispatch from Simla says that the British
Afghan commission will return to India in Sep

MINOR MATTERS.
Changes Contemplated in the System OF
Civil-Service Examinations.

Changes Contemplated in the System OF
Civii-Service Examinations.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE Civil-service
Commission contempates another important
change in the system of examinations for admis-
sion to the postoffice and custom-h house services
which will shortly be formulated and promui-
gated 1t will be made in response to the desire
Of the Civil-service Reform Association that the
local boards of examiners for admission to the
postoffice and customs service should be COM
posed of men who are not themselves in the civil
service. This proposed system of independent
examiners the Commissioners do not consider
practicable, so far as they are concerned In the
first place, it would require a change in the
civilservice act, which provides that the exam
iners shall be taken from the civil service; and
in the second place. it would necessitato the ere
alton of several hundred new Offices The Com
missioners think that the proposed change in the
system will effect the same result in better
way. They propose to have the local examiners
send all the examination papers directly to the
Civil-service Commission here TO be marked or
graded. instead of marking or grading them
themselves, as at present. Thus the marking
and grading will be uniform, and will not be
affected by local influences 1t might not be
practicable to have examination papers sent
from the Pacific coast to the Civil service Com
mission for this purpose, but it will probably be
arranged SO that they can be sent to o special
board of examiners at San Francisco.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. lit is expected that
the formal exchange of the copies of the extradi
ton treaty between the United States ana Japan
will soon be announced from Toxic, and that its
promulgation by the two governments win take
place Immediately thereafter. This treaty was
ratified by the United States Senate on the 2lst
of last June, but the Senate made some minor
amendments in its text, which rendered il neces-
sary that the document should be again submit
ted to the Japanese authorities Information
has now been received that Japan accepts the
amendments, and is ready for the last step in the
matter-the formal exchange. The Japanese
authorities are quite enthusiastic over the con-
summation of this treaty, but not so much on
account of its provisions, which are similar in
general terms to those of the existing treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Britain as
because of the fact that it constitutes step in
the progress of that nation toward a position Of
equality with the most enlightened nations Of
the earth

Statesman Holman's Criticism.

Congressman Holman said to-day that it
looked to him as If Secretary Bayard had
been entirely too fast in demanding the release
of Cutting. 1t is more like child's play than
that of wise statesman like Mr.. Bayard. 1T

for the State Department to have done would
have been to have first informed itself as to tho
law and TIE nature of the offense / do not
believe the course of the Secretary will be ap-
proved by those who have informed themselves

understanding is that the Mexican authorities
claim the right to hold Cutting under the ex-

Minister Dare presented report
from the fire limits committee on
the act to prevent obstruction of
streets, signed by himself as chair
man, to the effect that they had not
considered the bill, as only one
member attended the committee
meeting, and therefore he reported
the bill back without any recon-
mendation.
Rep. Thurston could not see what
object the Attorney-General had in
making such report, unless it was
to stick the other members of COM
mittee for inattention to duty. 1t
was not good example to other
committees to allow this one off so
easily.
Minister Dare said that on a
former discussion of the bill, it was
regarded by some as being too
stringent for the towns of these
islands, and it was referred back to
the committee for modification. AS
no meeting could be obtained, he
thought the best way to precipitate
action ON the bill was to report it
back to the house.
