AFGHANISTAN AMEER
he Decides to Stay By England If
Russia Attempts to March
to India.
MUSSELMANS HATE RUSSIA
The Ameers People Are Willing to Fight
for Great Britain In the Transyaal,
But Not to Go to Sea to Reach
the War

London, March 9.-The ameer Of At
ghanistan has authorized his agent in
London to publish the following state
ment Of the policy of Afghanistan to-
ward Great Britain and Russia. After
saying he had devoted much anxious
thought to the possibility of Russia
taking advantage Of the Tran .t'aal wa,
to advance through Afghanistan and
India. his highness adds: II have come
to the conclusion that Russia feared
Afghanistan, as war with the At
ghans would mean general rising Of
all Islam, which would spread through
Russian Asia. Russia had not troops
enough to combat such a rising. Her
hold on the Mussulman countries she
has conquered Is insecure. They hate
her, and with ten times her power Rus
sia could not fight Afghanistan and In
dia successfully. The Afghans prefer
death to slavery, and their women and
children are being taken by Russians"
After saying he is willing to send nu-
merous troops to help Great Britain In
the Transvaal, but adding that the At
ghans are unaccustomed to the sea- the
ameer adds: But England's troubles
are always my troubles; her strength Is
my strength, and her weakness Is my
weakness England must remember
that I am always ready to fight for her
IN land, here or in India"

Washington, March 9.-The surgeon
general of the marine hospital service
has received the following from Sur
geon Gassaway, of San Francisco, dat
ed March 8: II have reliable informa-
ton that the Chinaman who died and
was suspected Of having had the plague
had been in the city continuously for
fifteen years, and for the last six
months was under treatment for other
diseases. The probable cause of death
was congestion of the lungs or pneu-
monia. Another case reported as sus-
picious, in the hospital, is not the
plague"
San Francisco, March 9.-The board
of health has decided that the China
man who died here several days ago
and was supposed to have had symp-
toms of bubonic plague did not die of
that disease. The quarantine main
tanned in Chinatown several days will
be lifted this afternoon.

THE WOOL MARKET,
1t Has Not Been Very Brisk In the Last
Weak.

Boston, March 8.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter said to-day:
The wool market has been almost life
less since our last report. There has
been but little inquiry for any kind of
stock, as most of the manufacturers
have been practically out of the market
being pretty well supplied for the time
being and not being tempted to buy
Those who are not plentifully supplied
have been holding off, pending the
opening Of the London wool sales, and
the fact that these sales opened Tues
day at decline of 71a@1O per cent, has
not been calculated to induce them to
hasten their purchases Of raw material.
In such a dull condition of affairs the
market is naturally little weak, al
though at this writing the owners of
wool have not manifested any marked
disposition to press sales. as they we'll
know that many manufacturers are so
well stocked with wool that 1t would re-
quire considerable concession to induce
them to take hold.
