THE ANGLO-RUSSIAN AGREEMENT.
? Our cable news to-day is of considerable importance. Lord Granville's assurance that the Governments of Russia and England are, after conference between their representatives, in accord on the Afghan frontier question, and that the Vioeroy of India concurs in the arrangement come to, is decidedly satisfactory aa affording an assurance of peace for some time to come, but it is remarkable that the terms of the agreement are not announced. It is nnsatisfaotory that one of the Russian representatives at the Conference should have been M. Lessar. His principle is the establishment of an ethnographical boundary— a line south of the last Turcoman and north of the first Afghan ; m other words, the northern Bide of the Paropamisus Range— a boundary whioh the London Timea has declared would plaoe Herat completely within Russia's power, so that she could pounce down, surprise, and capture it within twenty-four hours.
