Defense of Afghanistan and Rearma-
 mcnt Says BHifonr. -sa v


 London, Jan. 12.-Preniier Balfour, speaking at banquet given in his hon or at Glasgow tonight avoided the fis- cal question, except to say that he had nothing to add to or retract from his Edinburgh speech. He hoped that con- ferences with the colonies soon would be quite as essentially a working part of the empire as the house of commons. \ The two great problems with which the army had to deal MT. Balfour said, were the defense of Afghanistan and rearmament, which involved a cost as much as any continental nation was able to bear. When this was completed the British army would be in advance of that of any other nation in the world. Mir. Balfour briefly alluded to the Dogger Bank affair. He said that Great . Britain was leading in the movement looking to the worlds peace, and, in the case of the Dogger Bank Incident, had skirted the precipice of war and small want of tact would have been a dis credit to civilization.

Beyond this point, however. confusion exists, es- pecially regarding the. immediate devel- opment of the interior situation. Elm peror Nicholas is still apparently vas cillating as to whether he shall allow M.

Direct con sultation with the representative classes interested he considers essential.
 It has now been definitely establish ed that the third section of the mani festo as it was originally drafted by Prince SviatopoIk- -Mirsky provided for representation of the zemstvos in the council of the empire, and that it was stricken out against his earnest pro- test
