RUSSIA AND AFGHANISTAN. The St. Petersburg Journal has devoted a long leader to the discussion of the Afghan question. It professses to be an answer to the comments of English newspapers that have ariticised the policy of the Atrek ex- pedition. The St. Petersburg Journal fol- lows up the adroit suggestion which was thrown out by Russian diplomatists at the elose of the Afghan campaign, namely, that the status quo ante recognised an "inde- pendent" Afghanistan. The word bas evidently been given by the Bussian press bureau to regard the Gundamuk treaty as an evasion of the Anglo-Russian understanding. "Can Afghanistan be really regarded as an independent State, considering the coudi- tions of peace which she has signed ?" That is the fingerpost to the line which Russia means to take up in regard to our Afghan settlement. A reference to the official oor- respondence will show how utterly misguid- ing is the view which Russia desires to be taken. It was never intended that Afgha- 35.nistan should be regarded as an independent (Taken at Messrs Falconer & Co.'s Premises..
