Possible Trouble in Afghanistan

London. March 1.-The reports of COM
ing trouble in Afghanistan are the topic
of a suggestive article in the Novosti of
st. Petersburg. Such a prospect, it says,
cannot be regarded with Indifference
either in Russia or Great Britain. Russia,
1t declares, offers no encouragement to
the pretenders to the throne Of the
Ameer. But the outbreak Of revolt would
compel the Russian authorities near the
Afghan frontier to spend great deal Of
money to maintain the troops necessary
to preserve order. But, on the other
hand, 1t is just as advantageous for Rus
sia and Great Britain to desire the main
tenance of the status quo in Asia. At
ghanistan possesses an enormous impor-
tance, inasmuch as it separates Russia
from India The Ameer of AfgnaniS tan,
therefore, must either be powerful enough
to maintain independence between the two
great neighboring empires or he must be-
come the vassal Of one Of them. 1t Is no
longer possible, continues the Novosti, to
hold that Afghanistan is outside the Rus
sian sphere of influence, although the lat

columns have not yet reported, owing to
the Wilderness of the district.
In addition to Rawlinson's capture, the
combined operations resulted in the cap
ture Of 1000 horses, $4,000 cattle, 200
wagons, 900 sheep, 600 rifles, SO rounds
of ammunition, and Commandments Meyer
and Truther and several cornet. General
Kitchener's dispatch concludes: 'These
satisfactory results are very appropriate
on the anniversary of Ma1uba." Unofh-
cial kilograms say that Dewet, Steyn and
Vessels with large body of followers,

is pointed out that the Boer losses in this
drive are proportionately equivalent tc
the loss of 1000 British.
Lord Kitchener reports to-day that the
Boer casualties during the recent oper-
ations amounted to 800. men killed or
captured. General De Vets son, who is
among the prisoners, was his fathers sec

ter has neither diplomatic agents nor con-
suls in that country. During the reign Of
Abdurrahman, Russia co-operated in the
maintenance of the status quo in his
states, because he knew how to preserve
order and maintain suitable relations
with the Russian and British govern
ments. 49,
His son does not appear to be able to
follow the paternal example, and Great
Britain and Russia will, therefore, have
to determine the attitude which they will
observe towards Afghanistan should civil
war become inevitable. The Novosti
thinks it may be a mistake to suppose
that troubles in Afghanistan must bring
about an Anglo Russian conflict, for these
powers. being now practically neighbors
in Asia, have no advantage in quarreling

London, March 1.-The Spectator sees
only one bad point in the reception &C
corded Prince Henry in the United
States, viz, that it may deceive
Emperor William. The natural kind
liness Of the Americans, a quality In
which they excel every other people, ex-
hibitng itself in lavish expenditure to
entertain their honored guest, will make
the visit grand social success and con-
firm the emperor in the belief that he
has carried out most farsighted and
most ingenious plan. He will find him
self mistaken, for he has read American
character wrong. The Spectator believes
that Emperor William, seeking by the
easiest method to conciliate American
suspicion on his weltpolitik, decided to
appeal to what. like most continentals,
he imagines Is a special American foible,
namely, snobbishness; but the paper
adds:
American snobbishness so far as it exists,
and it is absurdly exaggerated, is not based,
like the snobbishness Of Europe, upon in

Some Questions For the Police to Answer

Less than year ago certain plain

station told some things that he knew
about the running of the police depart
nent. Shortly afterward he was found
dying" by the police. His skull was
fractured The station house blotter
was arranged to fit the case. Recently
an old man named McAuliffe gave testi-
mony that helped to send Detective
eddie" Glennon to Sing Sing. Last week
McAuliffe was "found dying by the po-
lice. His skull was fractured. The sta
ton house blotter was arranged to fit the
case. No one was ever indicted for the
murder Of the "plain clothes" man. It
looks as if no one would be indicted in
the McAuliffe case. The district attorney
cannot get any evidence-except that the
case was peculiarly handled at the sta
ton house. The police won't get any
evidence except that the old man was

Electricity for Swiss Railways

London, March 1.-some days ago the
representatives of the five largest cleo
trical engineering companies Of Switzer-
land held meeting at Often, at which
the question Of replacing steam with cleo
trical power on the Swiss railway system
was discussed. The representatives OF a
firm which makes a specially of the con-
struction of turbines (having lately re-
ceived a large order to provide turbines
for Niagara Falls) proved by scientific
demonstration that the power which could
be derived from Swiss waterfalls would
be sufficient to provide enough electrical
force for the entire railway system of
the country. 1t was decided to follow the

fancy. Then came the news that the ex-
pected visitor wouldn't get here until
Sunday. The populace got back to level
standing again and took time to ask itself
few pertinent questions. The gist OF
these was: aren't we rather overriding
this business, anyhow" And when an
American community pauses to consider
whether it hasn't been on the verge OF
making itself ridiculous, the reaction to
cold common sense is likely to be SO
marked as to chill the entire proceedings.

sary enthusiasm on the official side. But

struck by a cable car. His injuries are,
such as could not have been caused by a
cable car But, though no formal indict-
ment is ever found, the police force of the
city of New York to-day stands indicted
in public opinion for the murder of Nc
Auliffe. And the motive for the murder is
plain. 1t is to teach all persons the po-
lice commandment: ""Thou shalt not bear
true witness against any policeman. The
killing has begun in the Glennon wit
nesses. 1t is now in order for the mem
bers Of the jury that convicted Glennon
to be found dying by the police.

the department to look into. A physician
of high standing says that he saw po-
