Il know of no justification for such
a statement Russia is the last nation

There is nothing in her relations with
the rest of the world that can justify
the suspicion that war is imminent.
She is at peace with the world. She
is the friend of Japan and between the
two nations there is Il bond of SYM

Of Russia in the London cables is un-

REPORT OF HIS DEATH NOT
DOUBTED.
England Fearful Lest Russia Take
Advantage of Circumstance
to Extend Frontier.

London, Oct. mo confirmation
has been received at the foreign Of
flee of the reported death of the
Ameer of Afghanistan, but the ac-
curacy of the report is not doubted.
In view of the critical situation in
South Africa the news this morning
sent shock through the United
Kingdom. Great confidence, however,
is expressed on all sides of the abil-
ity of the Indian viceroy to deal with
the situation. Before Lord Cursor at
tained his present dignities he had
travelled through Afghanistan as the
guest of the Ameer and has thorough
ly mastered the problem of English
politics in central Asia. At Simla it
is believed that Habi Houlah Khan,
who was regarded by his father as
his successor ard long had a share
in ruling the country, will assume the
succession promptly.
Editorials in the morning papers
express confidence that with power
full viceroy and a strong government
at home every possible complication
following the death of the Ameer will
be firmly and confidently met. There
is, however, an undercurrent of un-
easiness present as to whether Rus
sia will seize the opportunity to push
| her frontier forward. The British
troops in India, ewing to the South
African war are new below their nor.
NAL strength. 1t will be impossible
to take anything from South Africa
and the news will still fruther en-
courage the Beers to prolong theil
resistance.
