Russia in Afghanistan.
Tosnos, October. 26il. Disquietude over plans of Russia along the Indian frontier are based on communications which have passed between Pussia and Afghanistan for several months. It is said that the Foreign Office was advised of the initial proceedings and that when no protest was forthcoming, Russia continued the intercourse until that government considered itself no longer restricted in its relations with Afghanis-
Ian.
The proposed Russian consulate at Cal has resulted.. Its establishment is now said to be regarded at St. Petersburg as a matter of right, the old agreement with Great Britain having been virtually abrogated by English failure to protest upon actice.

Brown, the senior officer commanding the troops, had a lengthy conference with H. E. the Governor, and although nothing has transpired regarding the purport of the meeting it may be safely regardedasasure indication of the present situation. The Royal Welch Fusiliers were to have left Hongkong for India yesterday, and everything was in readiness when an order was received by the Commanding Officer suspendir the embarkation. The Wukool arrived in the Colony from the North yesterday afternoon hav- ing on board about a couple of hundred of the Fusiliers, from Peking. It is possible that the longkong d (tachment may proceed on her to India next Monday, and although the only reason assigned for the delay is because of repairs needed to the transport, this inust be taken cum grana sdis, having regard to the fact that on good authority we learn there is. absolutely nothing wrong with the ship.
