Loudon, May 12— Mr Con-
die Stephen, bearer of dis-
patches from Sir Peter Lutus-
den, has arrived in London.
Mr. Stephen left Meshed,
Persia, on April 23, on barely
ail hour's notice, having been
ordered to proceed to Eng-
land with all speed. He tra-
veled six nights and days on
horseback, averaging 100
miles daily, until ho reached
the Caspian sea. Crossing
ibe Caspian, he caught a train
one hour after his arrival on
the western shore, and reach
ed Tiflis after a railway jour-
ney of twenty-seven hours,
He received every attention
and couvtisy from Russian offi-
cers. The governor of Tifiis
rendered him the greatest as
aislante in arranging by tele-
graph for relays of horses
along the rente,
Mr. Stephens arrived in
Berlin yesterday morning via
St. Petersburg. Mr. Stephen
denies that the battle at Ponj-
deh caused the retirement of
the British forces to Tirpul.
He says that Sir Peter Lums-
den had made arrangements a
long time previously to fix his
residence at Tirpul.
St. Petersburg, May 12—
The Oficial Messenger, today
publishes a lengthy dispatch
from, Geuertl Kouiaroff, in
which he explains more fully
his actions, and gives more
London, May 12— in the
House of Lords (his afternoon,
Earl Granville, foreign minis-
ter, corrected his statement of
yesterday concerning the Af-
ghan dispute, and Said the
agreement reached between
himself, Earl Kimberly, Baron
de StacI and M. Lessar, in re-
peet to the Afghan boundary
proceedings, was not comple-
ted in London as yesterday's
statement would imply, but
had been put in shape lor sub
mission to Russia for accept-
unce.
London, May 12—Advices
from Tirpul of the 0th itstant,
says: 44Sir Peter Lumwdon,
Colonel Stewart anrl Mr. Bar-
row start for home tomorrow,
in accordance with the order
of the government. No orders
were given for the disposal of
the British-Afghan boundary
commission."
London, May 12—Mr.
Gladstone, iu reply to Sir
Stafford Noithcote, in Par-
liament, yesterday, said that
Sir Stafford repudiated the
grounds of the motion which
has been proposed and ap-
proved by his supporters. The
opposition had pressed the
motion without waiting for
the promised papers, and
made up for their deficiency
of knowledge by a variety of
suppositions. When the papers
were presented it might ap-
pear that Sir Peter Lumsden
had returned in full conform
it.y with the government, and
that a frontier had been se
wired through friendly rela-
tions between LorJ Dufferin
and the atueer. It might also
be found that when the gov-
ernment took a gloomy view
i f their position they were
doubtful of gaining the objects
they were contending for, and
that his inore cheerful speech
on the followirg Monday was
made when those objects had
been gained. It was not with-
out pain and regret that ho
had seen a chango in the at-
titude of the opposition as
soon as tl ^ blessed prospect,
of peace appeared, and when
it was found war had been
avertod, which would have
been a calamity to England,
Russia, civilized mankind and
the whole world. [Loud and
prolonged cheers ]
London, May 12—A dis-
patch from Meshed, reports
the arrival of Sir Peter Lums-
den who is en route for Eng-
land. Colonel Stewart and an-
other officer will go to Herat
for the purpose of examining
the fortifications' and giving
the ameer any needed advice
in regard thereto.
London, May 12—Papers
on the Afghan question, which
are to be published Saturday,
will not contain the terms of
the frontier convention, which
w.ll not be. made public until
the convention has been con-
cluded.
After the government's ex-
planation in the House of Com -
mons, yesterday, the opposi-
tion was half inclined to with-
draw Lord George Hamilton's
motion, and the debate fell
flat. The members showed
far more anxiety about the re-
sult of tonight's division,
which is certain to be very
ch se. Grave doubts are ex-
pressed as to whether or not
the government will adhere
to the decision to resign if
defeated and the result will
depend on the attitude of the
Purnol lites.
Cnndie Stephen will arrive
in London today with Sir Peter
Lumsden's dispatches.
London, May 12—Jiussian
papers suggest the submittal
of Russia's bill for war prepa
rations to a mediator between

derstanding that England

trator decide that England is
responsible for the cause of the
dispute.
London, May 12—In the

ed that about $35,000,000 of
the credit of $55,000,000 has
already been absorbed.

New York, May 13-Captain
Lord, of the steamer Eritic,
which arrived here from Leith,
makes the following report:
On May 6, at 0 a. m., in lat-
itude *48 north, longitude £7.10
west, we found, a solid wail of
packed icé interrupting our
progress and extending as far
as the eye could reach in a west
northwest and south southeast
direction. We at once decided
to look for a passage to the
southward. This we did un-
successfully all day. As we
advanced to the south fol-
lowing the outward or east-
ward course of the ice which
at. times extended away to
the west, and northwest gra-
dual ly curving back to the
eastward, ari 1 in some cases
oven as far back as northeast,
the icebergs became exceed-
ingly numerous. They were
from 200 to 800 feet in height
aud of tho dimensions of large
islands. The weather now
became thick with fog and it
was with the utmost difficulty
thai we could thread our way
through them, the mao on the
lookout no sooner renorting
ou the starboard bow than he
had to repeat his report with
"one oil the port bow," **right
ahead," etc. A fter a struggle
of seventy two hours, we were
able to get. clear of ice. in all
my experience at sea I have
never seen or hoard of such
immense quantities of ice in
that latitude.
Panama, May 13—General
Alzpnru left yesterday for
Bogota via Buena Ventara, a

The United States men-of-
war, Tennessee and Galena,
