THE AFGHAN FRONTIER DISPUTE.
Professor the celebrated Orientalist, asserts in a just published article on the Afghan frontier dispute that a war between England and Russia is inevitable. The negotiations at Rawul Pindi may, he thinks, have the effect of postponing an outbreak of hostilities, but it will be merely a postponement, and nothing more. If Earl Dufferin obtains the sanction of the Ameer of Afghanistan for the prolongation of the railway from Sibi to Kandahar and Herat, war will, thinks Professor Vamh6ry, break out in a few weeks, as Russia will ceitainly not tamely submit to the presence of English soldiers at Herat. Altogether Professor Vambi6y looks upon the situation as very grave indeed.
