THE AFGHAN PROBLEM

VioWB of Sir Peter Luinsdon.

Constantinople, Juno 4. — Sir Potor | < Lumaden says :-" Complications will soon ( ariso between tho Russians nnd Afghans at < the frontier about tho question of water | j supply. That, with gold, forma tho pivot | , of all Central Asian politics. Nearly all j Russian-Persian disputos havo turned on; quoations of water use. Persia has boon i oompollcd at times to relinquish the right) to hpo wator courses for irrigation whon ever Russia required the water for military or commercial purposes. Murg hab is tho tinest river in Central Asia, with a full stream. The next Russian acquisition will assuredly bo thei watershed nt the Murghab valley." Sir) Peter is further of tho opinion that tho i Ameers army now numbers 60,000, tho majority of which is badly armed. The Afghan position at Herat grows stronger, now that its inhabitants generally favour resistance to Kwssian advancos, a change produced by visible signs of co-operation of tho British Government and tho presonoo of British officors directing the repairs of forti fications. Sir Peter thinks the Turcomans aro a splendid fighting race, and that they aro not yet subdued. Recent attempts to disarm them produced a rising that compelled tho Russians to relinquish tho ondeavonr. It would be very' ensy for the British Government to render tho Russian positions in Central ; Asia untcnablo If Britain only gives tho word and is willing to aid, all Turkestan would revolt against their Kussian masters. Sir Potor also thought that the British Government ought to raako nn allianco with tho Sultan so as to obtain access to tho Black Sea. Tho Russians contomplato abandoning tho Potrowski shore, on tho termination of tho trans-Caspian-Railway, on account of shallow water preventing tho approach oven of small vessels. Thoy in tend carrying tho lino to Krasnovodsk. Sir Totor found Batoum rapidly becoming a place of great strength, whero Russian works progrc.-scd night and day. Ho docs not fear any Russian invasion of India, but he dnes foa'r the loss of England's prestige having ill cll'ect on tho peoplo of India, who will givo undue strength to tho power of Muscovite intrigues. He said adequate measures were being adopted to make tho Indian frontier extremely safe,and nothing need bo feared in the direction of Cash movo, as that country was inaccessible from Russian territory and tho placo fully in British hands.

It is reported that tho overtures of the Porte for an alliance with Russia havo met with a.rebuff.1 Russia, it is claimed, ex presses herself content with the present status of tho Afghan que-tion, and holds that an allianco with Turkey is not now necessary. Vienna, June i.— Sir Peter Emriipden parsed through hero to-day by lightning express for London. Ho seems thoroughly disgusted with the result of his mission, and says he will never return to India. Ho also stated that the Russians will prolong negotiations until the railway is completed. The Russians are at work night and day strongly fortifying Batoum. Vienxa, Juries.—Yesterday Sir Peter Lumsden arrived here and proceeded on his journey to London. In an intcrviow ho said that Colonel AlikhanofF had openly boasted to the Afghans that Russia wanted to take Herat and a great deal more. Sir Peter paid Russia would never have urged her absurd demand if she had believed England was in earnest in resisting them. Russia is now able, through the possession of the Penjdeh district, to provoko fresh complications whenever it suits her policy to vex England, for instance by sup porting Turcoman claims to tome further pasturage of the use of water-sheds, thereby bringing about a collision with the Afghans. Russia wants an ethnographical frontier. I proposed a geological one. The Ameer has now 15,000 men at Herat, but when the Russians first advanced that place was quite open, and it would have fallen at once, for the population were and even now to some extent are siding with the Russians.

The ''Daily News" on the Settlement.

L'jsdos, May 30.—Tho "Daily News" announces this morning, on the highest authority, that Russia's reply to England's counter proposals was received in London yesterday. The reply, the "News" says, involves the acceptance of tho proposals and practically settlos, in a satisfactory manner, the whole q-estion of the Afghan boundary. Both Marauchak and Zulfikar remain in possession of the Ameer. The main features of the work of delimitation havo been finally fixed, and the Boun dary Commission will settle the de tails. The negotiations, according to the " News," have been conducted in the most friendly spirit on both sides. The "Daily News" editorially says: " Gladstone has crowned his illustrious career by again rendering the country a signal service. We must not forget, now that peace is assured, how near we came to a war such as this generation has not seen. Neither mere obstinacy nor skill in diplo macy could havo averted it. Tho task required a combination of the highest quali ties which go to make up the complex gift of statesmanship." Londom, June s.—Gladstone stated in the House of Commons to-day that Russia and England had come to an agreement con cerning the points of difference between them, .which were to be referred to arbitra tion. He also stated that the Governmftnts of the two countries have likewiso agreed upon aibitration, but as the person chosen for arbitrator has not been formally asked to accept the duty, ho was unable to say anything further on the subject now.

St. Petersburg, May 30.—1t is asserted in some quarters here that Russia' 3 accept ance' of the English proposals is duo to the Czar's friendship for the British Cabinet and his desire to do nothing which would hazard the return of the Tory party in Eng land to power. The concessionof Maruchak and £ulfikar to Afghanistan, it was repre sented, would strengthen the Liberals, who are regarded as more friendly to Russia. The Czar expects to visit the King of Den mark some time this summer.

London, May-30.— Lesaar, the Russian special commissioner, will start imme diately from London to join Col. Ridgn-ay in Afghanistan for the purpose of carrying out the special details of the work of marking tho Afghan frontier.

A Lively Place

It is related of a tourist in one of the Western States of America, who had spent the night in an hotel in a rough township, that, on coming down in the morning, he called the attentior of the landlord to some grapes which wero scattered about the bar. •' Grapes !" said the astonished landlord. "Them's eyeß, as was gouged but in a scrimmage last, night." This incident (says the Melbourne "Argus ") must surely have taken place at Sheridan, in Wyoming, where a famous ruffian named Buckley, better known as " Dick the Shooter," has just met with his deserts. Dick was the terror of the Western Territories, owing to his great strength and his certainty of aim. He had deserted from the army, aud gathered round him a gang of desperadoes as lawless as himself. He had a playful habit of discharging his revolver " pro miscuously " at pedestrians ; and to refuse to drink with him when he was taking spirituous refreshment at a tavern bar wds to invite sudden death by perforation with a bullet. On the 7th March ho entered a drinking saloon in Sheridan, and called upon everybody present to "liquor" at his expense. They complied, with the exception of a miner named Jones, who com plained of ill-health. " I don't care a," said Dick ; " well or ill, you've got to drink with me;" and he cocked his weapon at him. Jones laughingly replied: "Oh. well, if you insist upon it, I will; but don't let's quarrel over it;" and stepping behind the bar he seized a double-barrelled shot gun which stood in theeorner, Quick a3thought Dick'the shooter pulled toe triggor of his revolver, but without effect: did so a second and a third time, and just as ho was pre paring to do so a fourth time both barrels of the gun were discharged at him, and, almost disembowelled, he dropped pn the floor. When his pistol was examined it was found to contain three empty and three loaded chambers. He had pulled tho trig ger on the: empty barrels in rapid succes sioD. thus saving tho life of tho man he Intended to murdor and sacrificing his own, If incidents of this kind are of frequent ffcousrenqp in Sheridan, it must be a lively pl&e to ln'o in,

WRECK OF THE S.S. CAHORS.

Full Particulars of the Disaster,

TnE steamship Cihors, wrenked in North Queensland, having beon abandonod, waa cold nt auction for £500; tho cargo for £210. Tho Cahora belonged to tho Australian Steam Navi gation Company, and was a stool scrow steamer of Ml tons register and with engines of 300 horso power. She h;id two decks and wns divided by four bulk-heads, Sho was launched in Sep tcinhcr of ISS3 by Messrs. J. Keys and Sons of Kinghorn, and she baa since beon employed in the Australian trade. The Cahors left Sydney on Tuesday, Juno Oth, with a large cargo and about 200 passengers, under tho command of Captain David Walker," tho commodore of the Company's fleet. She made excellent progress along tho coast. am\ one o£ those fast passages for which she has been famous was confidently looked forward to, but unfortunately her career was brought to an abrupt termination; as. when going at a speed of 11 knots, she ran on to It vans Kecf, a place which is noted for its exposed position. About live minutes to six,.mst as the stewards were eanding down the dinner, the vessel struck. The shock was a terrific one. and knocked tho passengers clean off their foot. Then followed breaker after breaker washing over the deck and drenching a number of un fortunates. Every wave niado the vessel tremble., and planted her more flrmly on the reef. The confusion that ensued was great, as ovorymomontthoßhipwasexpoetcdtoreclovor. The 8. Burwah shortly appeared near the scene having been attracted by a great display of rockets and lights from tho Tailors. iho dangerous position of the vessel having been as certained tho removal of her passengers was commenced immediately. A passenger by the Burwah says :-" About iialf-prst 12 o'clock our lirst life-boat reached the Cahors. and now com menced the diflicult and dangerous operation ot trotting the passengers oil. Tho men were let down by means of ropes into the sea, and wero then picked up by the life-boat. Tho first life boat the Cahors launched was capsimlby dash ing against the ship's side. The sailors struggled about in the water for hnlf-an-houv before they could bo picked up by the second boat. J lie next boat from tho Cahors brought in about a dozen more passengers, whom \vo made as comf ortable as we could. Most of the people wore only partly dressed. To make their way through the water more easily they bad left oil their boots and in many cases their coats. "Our saloon and dock presented a most curious appearance. Kvcry available space was used to accommodate the people brought in by the boats. Of course, all had to strip and hand over their cloth-s to be dried. The Ural, more fortunate tlmn the later arrivals, were provided with dry clothes by t hose of our people who bad them to spare. Tlioso to whom wo could not give any clothes had to run about the deck covered with a blanket, somewhat attcr the Maori fashion. Boat aftei-boat came in and discharged its living and soaking-wct cargo. Tho latter operation was not unaccompanied with danger, as a heavy swell was running at tho time, making: it very dilticult for the sailors to prevent tho small boat getting smashed. Thanks to our captain's presence of mind and culndy-delivered orders to (lie men. no accident happened. Towards half-past 5 o'clock daylight began to dawn, and wo wero able to make Out the stranded steamer about half-a-milo distant from us. By this time most of (he men wore taken off, and now commenced a rather more difficult tnek, that of getting oil' the ladies and children. Captain South of the Burwah ordered ono ot the boats to take out an anchor anil cable, which hu told them to make fast to the wreck, and then drop into the sea fit a ltttlc distance oil. By running a coal-basket along this cnblc they wero able to land the ladies and children more easily. Even this was not unattended With danger, owing to the heavy surf waves. Ono ludy was ducked.under water three tnlies before the men wero nbie to haul her into their boat When the last boat-load of ladies and children were safely onboard, tho boat returned for the mails. . Captain Walker and officers refused to leave their ship then, but did so later on, when they were ot no further uso. A surveyor's examination of the Cahors showed her to be very seriously damaged amidships, she having run well up on the rock. There woro no signs of injury to the hull generally, and the vessel kept her form well. Some of tho panels of the aflcr-deekhousc were broken by tho force of tho sea, but everything olso was in a vonnerful stato of preservation. Passengers luggage and all available cargo, together with tho ship's stores were then removed from the vessel, with his object of an attempt being made to float the vessel as speedily as possible. So far as we know this has not been accomplished, the Cahors was uninsured, and her wreckage means a loss of £,">OOO i« tho Company, besides, tho fact that two years v:iil be required to build such anothor vessel. .Meetings of passengers by the Cahors and others were held at Brisbane, when it was decided to make presentation to Captain South and ofticers of the steamer Burwah. Sovoral of tho passengers made state monlsrelativo to the wreck, andcallcdattention to the want of signalling appliances. &c, on board the Cahors. Mr. Williams, the local manager of the A. S. N. Company, was present, and stated to the equipment of tho ship, that this complaint to some extent qualified by the report of Captain Trouton, the company's manager at Sydney. JUr. I'orkins one of the passengers, said that from bis own personal observation he could say that the magazine was badly furnished, and that the supply of rockets and 'lights 'were inadequate. The meeting terminated after appointing a committee to draw up an ollicial report of tho proceedings from the striking of the Cahors to the time of the rescue by the Burwah.
