lions of the local Chinese official, took
charge of the Briton and brought him
TO Marghilan, where he was liberated
on the representations Of an attache OF
the British embassy at st. Petersburg,
who happened to be travelling IN the
district The transactions relating to
these two English officers and their en-
counter with the Russians afterward
formed the subject of diplomatic CORE
spondence. The origin Of Yanoff's eX-
petition was to establish claims to ter
ritory stretching southwark from de-
marcation line agreed upon in 1873, but
which, as in the case of the delimitatiOn
of 1855, left the Pamir region and its
suzerainty an undecided question.
From this it will be clear that the
conflicting interests of England and
Russia have been coming to very close
quarters of late, and the present state
of the territories forming the battle
grounds-so far bloodless-of the re-
spective self-defined rights of those two
great nations intensihes the chances OF
further and far more serious trouble &C.
curing at no distant date.
The very latest dispatches indicate
that our old friend, the Russian Col.
Yanoff is in armed conflict with the
Afghans and Chinese on the Alichur
Panir. and it is very ominous news
that a number of Kirghis, a people
under a Russian protectorate, have
been taken prisoners by the Afghans.
This may possibly create a serious diff
fculty between Ameer Abdurrahman
and the car, and would be awkward in
the extreme for England, who is al
ways under obligations, from motives
of vitally necessary policy, TO back up
at all hazards the ruler of Afghan
istan. 1t is estimated by the most
careful observers of the course OF
events that the Anglo-Russian situation
In India is at this moment more men
acing than at any time since the PenJ-
deh difficulty in 1885, when the Russian
and Afghan Outposts came to blows. At
that time, had it not been for the ultra
pacific policy of Mr.. Gladstone, war be-
tween Russia and England must in
evitatly have ensued. The position
now is as outlined below, and its ilnpor-
lance can be seen at a glance.
Abdurrahman, the ameer Of Afghan
istan, has long had his eyes upon GER
tain independent tribes who have hith-
erto refused to acknowledge his suzer-
aintv. He has just sent military ex-
petition into the Bajaur country under
the command of his general, Gholam
Hyder, and battle has been fought at
Asmar between the latter and Umra
Khan, a chief of Bajaur. 1t has been
shown that the Afghans were the ag-
gressors, Gholam Hyder having sought
to occupy the Mohmund country in Ba-
jaur, but Umra Khan got the best of
the fight, the Afghans retreating be-
fore his arms. A further attack upon
territory under British protection at

For perhaps one hundred years the

breeding grounds for hardy race of
wild cattle. They are small creatures

that fringe the Maryland coast have
long been used in this fashion and also

an air of melancholy, and every time
his eyes rested on the mysterious urn
he sighed. Dropping into large chair
he buried his face in his hands and was
silent for some minutes.
At last he was aroused from his reverie
by the appearance of one of his Oldest
customers and friends. His face bright

conversation. They had talked on all
subjects, when suddenly the Chicago

plateau traversed by mountainous
rocky defiles. The Pamir is peopled
by fierce warlike tribesmen, hostile to
all intruders. But the fact of its neu-
trality at once suggested to Russia its
possibilities as an entering wedge for
designsupon India, and by means of this
route she has, since the boundary de-
limitation of 1884, been endeavoring to
advance her outposts.
England, meanwhile, was not asleep,
for she began to construct railway
from Serinapur to Gilgit on the Cash
mere frontier. The tribesmen of Hunza,
which lies between Gilgit and the Pamir,
were rather unfriendly to the English,
and the latter concluded to construct
road up to the Hunza state. The oper-
atoms of Russia, constantly sending out
prospecting and surveying parties, pre-
cipitated this action. for the possibility
Of her going still further in the way of
surveying" seemed a very strong one
TO the English. They would have to
beware of the Russian bear and his
predatory prowlings. The English
commenced their road building about
ten months ago, and were soon attacked
by the tribesmen. This had been an
ticipated. and it was conjectured that
the influence of Russia was responsible
for the suddenness of the outbreak The
garrison at Gilgit was increased, and as
it was plain that the worlImen could
not proceed while they remained ex-
posed to attack, a military expedition
was fitted out under the command Of
the British agent, Col. Durand. The
Fort of Nit was captured by the Eng
ish, and the foe retreated. only, how
ever, to return and keep up guerrilla
warfare, which became so annoying
that Col. pUraud was again forced to
take the field, driving the tribesmen up
to the Hunza valley with losses upon
both sides The warlike disposition of
these mountainous Is no revelation to
the British, for they experienced 1t be-

One of the Small Glass Who May Fairly
Be Called at Once Scholars and Pub

Diplomatic Record.

The gentleman whom President Har-
rison has named as envoy extraord1na-
~ and minister plenipotentiary to Rus-
STA will bring to his post reputation
that makes his appointment distinct
expression OF the kindly feeling
of the republic 10 the empire.
Hon. Andrew D. White, says
Harper's Weekly. Is one OF the small
class who may fairly be called at once
scholars and publicists by profession
He was born in the little town OF
Homer, Cortland county, n. Y, on the
nth of November, 1882, and is thus IN
the very maturity of his powers He
was a student first at Hobart, and
afterward at Yale college, from which
latter institution he graduated in the
famous class of 1853. He was attached
for time to the legation at st. Peters
burg as secretary, beginning his train
ing in diplomacy early. There he had the
opportunity to study the great empire
at one of the most interesting as well
as one of the most mournful periods OF
its history, when Emperor Nicholas
was putting forth in vain the utmost
powers Of his government to meet the
combined forces of France, England,
Turkey and Piedmont. 1t was a field
on which history was making on a
grand scale, when the Third" Napo-
leon was at the very zenith of his inhu-
ence, when Italian unity was in its
birth struggle and when the sublime
porte, in it's momentary triumph, was
really sinking toward extinction as a
European power.
In 1857 Mr.. White was appointed to
the chair of history in the University
of Michigan, but was obliged by uncer-
tain health to return to Europe. In
1862 he was elected to the senate of the
state of New York, where he took a
prominent part. and always an honor
able one. 1t was at that time that he
became deeply interested in the plans
of Hon. Ezra Cornell, who was also a
member of the senate, for the founda-
ton of the Cornell university. He was
Mr. Cornelrs most intimate and trusted

Russia is no more exempt than the
ameer and the Indian viceroy from be-
setting difficulties. Over the Turkestan
border, in Tashkend, her Mohammedan
subjects are in rebellion, and the
cholera, responsible for this, continues
to rage. These intractable moslems
have gotten into a state of wild fanat
icism over the precautions of the Rus
sian health officials, and they can give
and are giving the government no end
of trouble. So that while the Russian
bear is hanging around the Pamir and
scenting from afar the trail of Indian
empire, he has perpetually to keep
turning around to brush from his rear

sting him into frenzy. Perhaps the
honOrs are about even in this universal
hotch potch of cross purposes and un-

crisis may largely depend upon the
overt action of Isha41 Khan, a powerful
rival Of Ameer Abdurrahman, who

adviser as to the new university, OF
which he accepted the presidency, and
assisted actively in its organization and
development. His first responsible
diplomatic position was as member of
the commission which Presid ent Grant
sent TO San. Domingo to examine the
question of the proposed annexation of
that little state. In 1879 he was ap-
pointed by President Hayes as minister
to Berlin, which was then decidedly
among the highest, if not the highest,
post in the foreign service. He dis
charged its duties with entire satisfac-
ton to the two governments, and
awaited himself of the opportunity to
extend his historical studies, making at
the same time large circle of friends
among the scholars of that scholarly
nation. On his return he resumed the
presidency of Cornell university, where
he remained until 1885. president
White, as he is usually termed, has al
ways been deeply interested in public
affairs, bringing to them the resources
OF thoroughly trained mind, and al
ways seeking the application of high
standards of public duty. He has been
jealous supporter of the cause of civil
service reform, and his influence has
been widely felt.
1t is not probable that in his new
post he will have very difficult duties to
perform, unless some delicate questions
should arise in connection with the
Jewish exodus. But he will have in
valuable opportunities for his favorite
studies. Russia is to-day bound by Sc
cret but clearly intimate ties to France,
and there is hardly a statesman in
Europe who does not dread a conflict,
regarded as almost certain and posi-
bly, near between these allies and the
triple alliance of Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy. The change in the
government of England may disturb
the unstable equilibrium that has been
maintained with such difficulty. Mr..
White may be witness Of one of the
great crises of Europe as he was nearly
forty years ago.
