George said be had never had alarmist views

with regard to Russis, but it was necessary to ensure that the Pass donuuling the Afgban Passes did pet ful. under the control of otiora. Our Frontier policy rested on four doon ments, viz, the Huesso-Aghan Delincitation Treaty; the Guarant given to the Ameer; Be Durant Agreement; and the Anglo Russian Pair Treaty, and all of these were couchtaled by the Liborala One policy for the future consisted, first, in-forming police and arranging the administrative protse tion of British districts; second, in the exclusion of exten: sus luterference will doi tribes in the British sphere; third, in the fulfilment of ar obligatious towards the Afghans by mauintažo. ing a atual frontier and regarding the sxecution of this policy Lord George said be preferred the Saindo mother to the old Punjah punitive method, na being more worthy of o civiliard nation. He concluded by saying that the frontier difficulty was permanent, and we just fooo it out grapple with it.

The policy of Lvić Lawrence, be said, was dead, Inzt the system followed by Sir Robert Sandeman might be successfully established.

Sir William Hareourt and Mr. Balfour wound ay the debate on the frontier policy, which the former denounced, and especially attacked S George White's Sinks speech as being most culpable, and dangerous

Mr, Balfour, who defended Sir George White, sail he was nabis to give the slightest hope of the avaldance of complications on the frontier, but he did hope that the infnence which had bow successfully exorcised north- ward and southward of the disturbed distri might slowly rad cautiously be further ta tended

It may be remembered that Sir James Mackay recently, in reply to an inquiry as to the terms on which the officere would be allowed to return to daty laid dowr that their Guild remst be dissolved, guarantees being at the same tiras given against strikes in fature. These conditions, we learn, were a 501) cepted by the representative of the officers în Calcutta on Wedneslay and the various ofcors nu strike are now individually applying for re employment. If the strike should trinitate is this way it would appear that the officers hayo victually pitulated on the conditions laid down by the Company, but it into by hoped that the full enquiry, which we understand hus. now been promised, will end in the removal of the the undoubted grievances which formed the subject of complaint.
