NEWS BY MAIL.
London, July 16—The
Standard in an editorial on
the reported advance of Rus-
sian troops to Zulfiear pasa,
says, although moro reassuring
news was received late yes
terday from Col. Ridgeway,
chief of the British Afghan
boundary commission, the
news from other sources re-
garding the Russian move-
ments is of the gravest char-
acter. The only redeeming
feature of the intelligence from
Afghanistan, says the Stand-
ard, is that the Afghans have
attached themselves more
firmly than ever to our side.
London, July 16—The
M orning Telegraph in its edi-
torial on Afghan news, says
the objection of the ameer to
the Russian claim to a posi-
tion practically commanding
Zulfiear pass is supported by
Lord Salisbury. Lord Salis-
bury's reluctance to consent to
Russia's offer to submit the
question in dispute to a joint
commission, is owing to his
belief that such a course would
be resultless, and would only
delay settlement of the matter
The Times says all the pow-
ers, with the exception of
Russia, have given their
assent to the issue of the
Egyptian loan, Russia's silence
the Times says, increases ap-
prehension in regard to the
Afghan question.
London, July 16—Sir Rich-
ard Asheton Cross, home sec-
retary, speaking this evening
in the house of commons
about the revelations of the
Pall Mall Gazette, said 110-
j)ody could sympathize more
than he with the work which
-vy;
the Gazette was performing,
and he declared that the home
department would use every
possible effort to discover and
punish the perpetrators of the
oftenses exposed.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
chancellor of the exchequer,
stated that the governments
had nothing further to impart
regarding the reported advance
in Afghanistan.
■ i i ——
London, July 16—It was
stated this evening that the
government, up to a late hour
this afternoon, had received
no further notice froijí the
Afghan frontier.
Vienna, July 16—The Po-
lische Correspondent publish-
ed a semi-official dispatch from
St. Petersburg today on the
Central Asia question, which
says that Russia counts with
certainty on the help of France
in the war which the czar may
have with England in Asia.
France, the article declares,
will be compelled to establish
a protectorate over Tonquin,
and the English in India will
will then be between two
fires. Their interost is to avoid
any policy likely to lead to a
Franco-Russian alliance. This
is a set-off to tho increasing
friendliness between Germany
w
and England.
Teheran, July 10—Large
numbers of Russian reinforce-
ments have arrived at Merv
and Pul-i-Khisti during the
past fortnight. Four regiments
from Cabnl, the capital of
Afghanistan, have reached
Herat and four other regiments
are on their way to Herat.
Dublin, July 16—The share
holders in the Munster bank
have petitioned the vice chan-
celor's court for a compulsory
winding up of the affairs of
the institution. There had
been a heavy run on the insti-
tution for ten days proceeding
the suspension, and no less
than $1,400,000 had been
drawn out by the depositors.
Cork, July 1C—Officers of
the Munster bank have as-
sured the peoplo that no de-
positor will lose a penny bj
the suspension. It is feared
that many business men, now
that they are deprived of their
bank facilities, will be unable
to continue business, and seri-
ous commercial failures are
apprehended.
London, July 14—Sir Rich-,
ard Asheton Cross, home sec-
retary, announced in the house
of commons this evening, that
the government had concluded
it was not advisable to prose-
cute the Pall Mall Gazette
for its recent publications
London, July 14-The editor
of the Pall Mall Gazette has
received letters from the queen
and Mr. Gladstone, in which
they heartily thank him for
the exposures of the traffic in
young girls for immoral pur
poses and assure him of their
full sympathy in the matter.
; London, July 14,—Evening
'—It is now denied that the
queen and Mr. Gladstone have
written to the editor of the

him for recent exposures of
the traffic in young girls.
London, July 14—Louis J
Jennings, formerly editor of

sented to contest one of the

Stockport, in Cheshire in the
coining general election.

sented by two radicals. In his
address accepting the candi-
dacy Jennings advocates local
self government, for Ireland
and an import tax on finished
manufactured poods.
London, July 15 —The
Globe this afternoon says it
fears that purveyors of obj c-
t ion able literature may now,
that the government has de-
cided not to prosecute the Pall
Mall Gazette, reckon on im-
punity, unless, observes the
Globe, there was technical
reason to allow the author of
of the late gigantic ontrageon
decency to escape. It is hard
to see how any similar offense
can be punished hereafter, if
the publishers profess to be
animated by a burning zeal for
public morality.
Paris, July 15—The Matin

eral Do Courcey, commander

nam, is probable. The gov

ordered to be imposed on the
Annamites by General De
Courcey, and is also opposed
to his policy of continuing the
war in Anuatn for purposes
of punishment, which the
French Commander insists is
necessary in order to intimi-
date the people from ever
again attempting a revolution
against French a'Utbdrity.
