Last night the members of the Royal EaNorway. gineer Variety Club held another of their successful congrts at Wellington Barracks. There was su sroelbeat programme of senti. mental and comic songe which were well reaviv- terests in the Persian Gulf, but while theed by an appreciative sudience. agreement holde good, there seems small likelihood of friction arising on that head. Russia has made an important admission which Sir EDWARD GREY thus notes in a despatch to Sir A. NICOLSON :
The Arrangement respecting Fersin is limited to the ragions of that country touching the re- epective frontiers of Great Britain and Russia in Asis, and the Persian Gulf is not part of thore regions, and is only partly in Persian territory. It has not therefore been considered appropriats to introduos into the Convention pos tire deal iration respecting special interesta po sossed by Great Britain in the Gulf, the result of British action in those, waters for more than bundrod years.
His Majany's Government have reason to be. love that this question will not give rise to difficulties between the two Governments should developmentı arise which make fartker discus- sion effecting Britisk juterente in the Gulf seossary. For the Russian Government have in the course of the negotiations leading up to the conclusion of this Arrangement explicitly stated that they do not deny the special in- tereats of Ghost Britain in the Persian Galf- slatement, of which His Majesty's Government have formally taken pote,
In order to make it quite clear that the pre- sont Arrangement is not intended to affect the position in the Galf, and does not imply any policy respecting it on the part of ohange of Great Britain, His Majesty's Government think it desimblo to draw attention to previous de clarations of British policy, and to reaffirm generally previous statements as to British interests in the Porsan Gulf and the importance of maintaining them,
His Majesty's Government will continue to direct all tusir efforts to the preservation of the status quo in the Gulf and the maintenance of British trade; in doing so, they have no desire to exelado, the log timate trade of any other Power.
