The Amccr OF Afghanistan.

Recent advices from India indicate
some hone that the expected troubles
with the Amcer of Afghanistan may be-
averte1. What the trouble might be
about. or why there should h. any
difficulty between the British Govern
ment and tho Amcer. has not vet Keen
made public. but statements made by
the ruler 4 ~Afghanistan throw a little
light on the matter.
IL appear that tho Amcer entcrtains
a profound dislike and suspicion of
Lord LANSpowNE, the present British
secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
These sentiments date back TO the time
when Lord L,NSpowNE was Niceroy

regarded as an insult. humiliating him In
the eyes Of his people. About the sam >
time rebellions took place In different
parts Of the country and the situation
became very critical. II was still further
aggravated by tho receipt OF a com
munication from the Indian Govern-
mcnt calling IN him 10 receive Lord
RoBERTs with a large armed force as
"A mission. The Ameer said hc con-
sidered the position very difficult. To

prepared an army Of 100 y 10 receive

his Chief Secretary know. despatched "a

uation. The letter averted war, but the

and he states his determination not TO
allow the construction of roads and
railways in Afghanistan by subjects oil
neighboring Governments, and not TO
undertake them himself until the reor-
ganization Of his army, now in progress,
has been completed. This policy he
recommends Ia his sons and Successors

ANY concessions given to foreigners
should be carefully considered, and
granted only 20 subjects Of countries
not touching the boundaries Of Afghan
istan; otherwise he thinks the Afghan
goat runs great risk Of being devoured
by the lion on one side or by the bear
on the other.
The Ameer seems 10 have strong pro-
tectionist ideas, for he saws IL is necessary
that the Afghans should stop foreign
goods from being brought into the
country for cash, and should make in
the country itself such articles and
goods as they require, that they may
be enriched by foreign money coming
into their country
" is probably the application Of these
principles. combined with a refusal to
allow "a railway e be carried 90 Kan
dahar that is AT the root Of the trouble
with the British Government. In the
present condition Of British trade and
the economic situation in India IL is
likely the British Indian Govern
ment will consent to the Amecr's closing
the door of his country 10 IN
