where he was liberated on the representa-
tons 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 encounter with the Russians alter
ward formed the subject of diplomatic cor
respondence. The origin of Yanoff's expe-
dition was to establish claims to territory
stretching southwark from a demarcation
line agreed upon in 1873, hut which, as in
the case of the delimitatiOn of 1885, left the
Pamir region and its suzerainty an unde-
cided question.
From this it will be clear that the con-
tiicting interests Of England an Russia have
been coming to very close quarters of late,
and the present state of the territories
/ forming the battle ground--so far bloodless
of the respective self-dehned rights of
those two great nations intensiies the
chances of further and far more serious
| trouble occurring at no distant date
The very latest dispatches indicate that
our old friend, the Russian Colonel YanoH,
is in armed conflict with the Afghans and
Chinese on the Alichur Pamir, and it is
very omiuous news that number OF
Kirghiz, people under Russian protector
ate, have been taken prisoners by the
Afghans. This may possibly create serl-
Gus difficulty between the Amer Abdur-
rahman and the Car, and would be awk-
ward in the extreme for England, who is
always under Obligations, from motives of
vitally necessary policy. to back up at al
hazards the ruler of Afghanistan. 1t is
estimated by the most careful observers of
the course of events that the Anglo Rus
sian situation in India is at this moment
more menacing than at any time since the
Penideh difficulty in 1885, when the Rus
sian and Afghan outposts came to blows.
At that time, had 1t not been for the ultra
pacific policy of Mr.. Gladstone war be-
tween Russia and England must inevitably
have ensued. The position now is as out

their road building about ten months ago,
and soon were attacked by the tribesme n.
This had been anticipated, and it was con-
iectured that the influence of Russia was
responsible tor the suddenness of the out
break. The garrison at Giigit was in
creased, and as it was plain that the work
men could not proceed while they remained
exposed TO attack, military expedition
was fitted out under the command of the
British agent. Colonel Durand. The Fort
of Nilt was captured by the English, and
the foe retreated, only. however, to return
and keep up guerilla warfare. which be-
came SO annoying that Colonel Durand was
again forced TO take the field, driving the
tribesmen up the Aunza valley, with losses
upon both sides. The warlike disposition
Of these mountaineers is no revelation to
the ritish, for they experienced before in
1885, when they had to send a force of
6. GOO troops to aid the Maharaiah of Cash
mere in his fight against them.
While England was thus forging forward
Russia was engaged In the same task, hav-
ing sent a small military escort in charge
of an exploration party in the direction of
the Afghan and Chinese borders of the
Pamir. An English officer named Young
husband, while en- route to Chinese Turke-
stan, heard of this and undertook to follow
their movements. The party was COM
manded by a Colonel Yanoff, who has just
como into prominence again in connection
with the present disturbances. Young
husband came up with the party at place
called Bazai GumbaZ; the meeting was q
friendly one, but Yanoff told him that Rus
STA claimed large tracts of country IN the
vicinity. This was, indeed, news to British
ears, and the English officer sent word of
it to Gilgit. The following day Captain
Younghusband was surrounded in his tent
by the Russian party under Yanotf, and
was estonished to learn that it was the
duty Of the party to escort him on to

III the baZars. Englaud's object in Sec1r-
ing Independence TO these various tribes
men is to prevent the Ameer from becorn-
ing absolute in Afghanistan and to leave
the Indian government a lever of resist
ance which they can utilize to advantage in
case be should desert them for Russia.
Things are lot improved for England when
It is seen that the Mehtar Of Chirtal has
forwarded troops to Killa Darosh for the
purpose of removing Umra Khan OF Ba-
iaur-under English protection-and to re-
place him by the Khan OF Dir; yet another
instance of Muscovite intrigue, probably !.
Russia is no more exempt than the Ameer
and the Indian Viceroy from besetting
difficulties. Over the Turkestan border,
in Tashkend, her Mohammedan subjects
are in rebellion, and the cholera, responsi-
BILE for this, continues 10 rage. These in
tractable Moslems have gotten into a state
of wild fanaticism over the precautions of
the Russian health officials, and they can
give and are giving the government no end
of troub BILE. So that while the Russian bear
is hanging around the Pamir and seeming
from afar the trail of Indian empire, hs has
perpetually to keep turning around to
brush from his rear flank the maddening
hornets which sting him into frenzy. Per-
haps the honor5 are about even in this uni
versal hotch potch Of cross purposes and
underhand scheming. The arrival of the
crisis may largely depend upon the overt
action of Ishak Khan, powerful rival Of
the Ameer Abdurrahman, who is so far
sulking in the background and will certain
ly not miss the opportunity, should it offer
itself, of making q coup d'etat with the OBJ
ject of Selling the throne OF Afghanistan.

passed from Cabul. The Viceroy of India
has formally notified Abdurrahman that he
will have to leave the tribesmen alone. and
that he must not again enter the Bajaur
country, previously declared to be beyond
his control. If he fights again, says the
Indian government, he must do it upon soil
outside of Baaur, and he must at once
withdraw his forces from Asmar He has
agreed TO this proposition, but claims that
the trouble was forced on him by Umra
Khan. This is known to be subterfuge,
for the Ameer is really disgruntled with
the Indian government, and ne has shown
this by hitherto declining invitations to
meet the viceroy in conference at Sinla Tor
the purpose of having the sphere of his in
fluence defined. While ambition is thus
inipelling him toward policy of aggression
and extension OF his power, the Ameer is
menaceu in another quarter by the rebel
lion of the Hazara tribesmen, whose beili-
cose activity in Central Afghanistan is as
Stunning formidable dimensions. This tribe
occupies the Hiudoo Kush range, which ex-
tends from east TO west In the middle Of the
country, and the only clan which has not
revolted is that of the Sheik Ais. a very
serious internal trouble thus confronts the
Ameer, and is hampering him badly in his
schemes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
In. point OF arms and discipline the
Ameer's troops have the advantage over the
Hazaras, but the latter are on their own
ground brave to recklessness aud animated
by great hatred of the Afehans. Already
they have scored an important success in
capturing convoy of arms and ammuni-
ton coming from Cubul. The Kilanas
Hazaras were prompted TO the act of revolt,
it is believed, by Russia, but their rising
was abortlve until they were joined by the
Oruzghan Hazaras. Russia's object in stir
ring up these tribes was piece of machia-
vellian policy, for, though she was coquet-
ting with the Ameer, it was still to her in
terest TO create general disturba in his
dominions Large bodies Of troops are now
