result was due to good fielding and heavy batting on th pan of the locals and to rather poor playing on the part of the visitor' Ihe Americans for the first time sines their return seemed to be at themselves Crowell occupied the box and did the beat work he has done this season He bad not pitched for a week before and a few unusual bile were made off of him He struck out eight men The rest of

it difficult if not boo- Juicily impossible to nimbus himself of the 1 'feeling that whatever Mr Gladstone and Earl Graaville may say to the contrary the Russian diplomatists are getting the better of i the Bntish Every delay in the negotiation has redounded to Russia's advantage While the ministers have been talking the Russian Railway has been actively pushed toward the Afghan frontier and the Ruesian troops have seised deoatable territory These are facts and the average Briton grows impatieut when the attempt is made to belittle their importonce or obscure them with a cloud of words The position of affairs tonight is so involved in Uneertattity and doubt as to cream a general feeling of ineecurity The feeling that the proposed arbi' tration is likely to fell through gains weight from tire announcement to-day that there is likely to be considerable delay in preparing the preliminary details There is no denying that this aunounoement is re calved by many people with a smile The delay it is said will be necessary in order to allow the Cabinets of the two countries to COMO to a decision in the precise points to be submitted to the arbitrator nom people peoless to think that this proems of arriving at a preliminary understanding will be so frultfdl a source of delay that the chances of the arbitration taking place at all are de' cidedly slight The Cabinets it is thought

to the imaginative statesman this view of the situation gains additional likelihood when one considers the last exchange of views which has taken place between Earl Granville Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Bamn Da to Sol the Russian Minister Between these diplomats differences of opinion about such primery questions the scope of theproposed at bitration and one of delimi! tation still remain unsettled When these di vergent views can be reconciled and i come mon standpoint reached from which to con alder the main question Se by no means cer Min Baron De eta-I hes proposed that

11 Earl Granvitio is inclined to accede to this proposition but ii only on condition that Melia will grant a definite treaty In whioh she shall pledge her self not to make any further advance 1 into Afghanistan There is little like- libood that Russia would make such a treaty as Earl Granville suggests There is increasing reason to believe that the poems- Mon of Peuideb has whet ed the appetite of the voracious Russian bear and that nothing but Herat wet long appease its cravings Russians here in London who are on terms of intimacy with officials of the Ruonian Falbamy do not hesitate to declare openly teat Russia intends to take Herat They assert that it will be au easy matter to obtain the assent of the Ameer to a Rumian occupation and they declare that no treaty which should propose to forbid such action on the part of Russ would have any binding effect When the opportunity cames or is made to seize Herat Herat will be seized no matter what the treaty stipulations may be This opportunity is not likely to come immediately they thi -k and Russia they aver will for the present make no advauee beyond the line of the frontier which shall be Agreed upon in the coming negotiationsat Loudon They say further that Russia does not contemplate in tervening in the affairs of Herat etroprie motu of her own accord But when the local tribes together with the Heratie shall ask for the protection of the Czar Russia is bound to incorporate them in her dominion Englishmen familiar with the glory of the annexation of Merv think they understand what Russians mean when they speak of the local tribes the protection of the Czar There is a shrewd suspicion afloat that the Importunate- asking for protect tion by the Mervin which the Czar had to withstand was notquite pmprie moue These expreesions of eplition and belief on the part of Russiau who have access to the Rumlau Embassy are a fair reflex of the tone 't of Baron de Semite recent communication te Earl Granville The practical upshot of the eititeesoltematter is that Russia refuses to enter Alto treaty fixing a defini limit Sober territory and binding her to a maintenance of the frontier Ito fixed unlegs the rule of the Ameer shall be so firmly kept Within the line i of the frontier that all 'rim! disturbances will be promptly repressed collision be tween the Saruks and Afghans prevented and order at Herat preserved The diplomatic position of Earl Granville has been weakened by the recent adeices received from Lord Dutrenn on the present state of entre in Atimanistan The advice make it clear thatthe Afghanserenot quite as enthusiastic in their devotion to the British cause an the declarations of Abdurrahmann at Rawal-Pindi might have led one to sup pose The Brihb agents who have been see companying the Ammo" to Cabul have re- ported eo Earl Dufferin that fierce discontent previa among the tribal chiefs owing to rumors the meet had given hi notion to the marching of British troops through Candahar in case was should occur t-in the Afghan 0 frontier between England and Russia Tee chiefs put no credence in the Ammo's 7 positive deutsle and are loud and earnest in their condemnation and deeunelation of the supposed action Another souree of disturb anise is furnished be the emissaries of Ayoub Khan the deposed ruler at Herat who is now In eel at Teheran and was recently east into prison at the instance of the' British Minister to prevent his contemplated escape to his own people These emissaries are -esetively engaged in working in rs interest among the people tween Balkh and Herat It is not it eprobable that thee are in the paynt Ramis at any rata they are carrying on a continuous Russian propagandt They promise the people that it Ayoub is restored to petrel the lauestans will guarantee them independence and freedom from the tributes now levied by Abdurrahman Friends of Abdurnihmaa at Samareand have warned- him that toe advanced of the British beyond Quetta would be the signal for a general revolt of Balkh in favor of Ayoub This movement they seem him would at once receive materiel assist from the Russians Them advice and others of a similar nse titre clearly indicate that an advance of the British beyond candabar would probably be impos-ibie without engaging in combat with the Afghan This protetbility of resistance on the part of thei supposed allies makes the problem of a potable advance through Afghanistan much more serious than has hitherto been calculated upon Earl Ditheriten report on the Afghan etas' don is exercising a potent influence on the ectien of the Government The rumor current early in the week that Earl Buffeter' had resigned his post becauseof his inability to agree with the Government's policy had als-
