REVIRB STiucrtmKS.
The Tlmei this morning complains of thi
the reticence and ambiguity of the statement
of the government in regard to the Afghai
qucetlon , It aovcrely criticises the action o
the government in recalling Lumtden , as th
frontier question will be all settled before h
can possibly arrive In London ant
any infotmation ho may have ma ;
be worthless go far aa negotiation
with lluula and London are concerned , I
lays the change of the'purpoeo.'of the amonr o
Afghanistan has placed the government in ;
different position ; and that it is tlmo to raak
him understand that he must strongly garri
ion Herat and allow thn Engllth to superin
tend the fortification of th-j plica , even i
p&ace is temp iratily secured. It would b
madness to watte the time thus pained whicl :
t least U but small.
The Standard , In an editorial , Rays the re
call of iiutnsden completes the picture of En
glish humiliation.
TUB irPKOT ON POLITICIANS.
There IB intense disappointment In London
political circles over the recall of Lum'iloi
and the total onlJHpjo of the war feeling. Th
tories at * benlnmnn to have an nncomfortabl
fooling that thi-y were duped into consentini
the $55,000,000 vote of credit last Monda ;
aight , and that they bavo been onchre
throughout. Tue vote of credit went throug
its preliminary stage with a hurrah , atimu
lated by Mr , Gladst me'a speech , which , however
over It may bn read In cold typo , certain !
carried conviction to those who heard it thn
war was certain and imminent. Now the
believe that the premier knew that peace wo
probable , aud that hit grave , determined ton
and manner , which more th n his words foe
tered the beli f in war , was purposely as
suuied to Invoke a rmh of patriotic feve
which ( should carry the conservatives alon
with the tide
GLADSTONE'H INLUKNCB.
Whether this effect was studied or not ,
was produced , and Tories vied with Whif
In chaers and roars of "aye , " believing thi
they were hurling defiance at the Russia
bear. Now that they want to oppose tb
vote they find their record of last Monda
night an awkward one to get around. Tnoa
who are determined to oppose the grant pine
m ch relUn e on the detection of the radical
from the liberal tanks on the war credit qnei
tion , but the main object of the oppontlo
will bo to extract further statements fioi
Mr. Gladstone , and If p ssible. to entanp'
him In contradiction with which to bombai
the liberals at the comlog geneial election. , .
The universal feeling after Mr , Gladstone
speech Monday night w s the exact reverie i
that produced by his wonderful speech i
just one week ago. Then everyone bi
lieved that the Premier's speech meant wa
though when they came to analytu his long
age they found it difficult to givx a reason I
the faith that wa * In them. Now every DOC
regard * the chances of war as over. At lea
all admit what was patent to insiders long a |
as April 15 , when your correipotdont von
ured to begin his cable dispatch with tl
positive assertion , ' 'Peace It is. "
niBAITOINTUENT ALL ABOUND ,
Now that even the most stubborn w
prophets are convinced of this fact it Is ii
teresting to note the effect en the vario
classes of people most affected. The elfec
range from giitf am ) ra e to jubilation , j
the war oflice aud the military clubs a f uaei
gloom prevails. In the latter retorts mai
bitter romnrk'n are made about Ko glace
harmful retreat , and the loss of uresti
which must result in India aud wherever t
British flag has been respected or feare
In commercial elides generally t
feeling Is one of profound lelmf , but the
ore several notable exceptions to tl
rule. Manufao urers of war material find
market , which was su suddenly opened as
cause them to augment their pluuti at grt
expense , has suddenly clo > el , Speculate

houses , which had burned out , are still uno

occupints being obliged to shelter themselv
as best they could last night. The lament

wore pitiful.
A bed quilt was thrown over the bodies ai
many persons called to see if they could re
cgnize the indiatinguishable mass All faili
and all statements were simply guesses O ,
of the body'a legs were burned to the kne

firmly there. The leadirg local ihorts
tiied hard to hammer the market
down by throwing quantises on it at the top
figured , but their efturU did not meet with
the det-ircd eucccss Offsetting this deslra to
pound the market was the fact that NawYork
still evinced a desiio to buy , and orders came
in thick and faat , and the Inoal crowd could
not keep tbo jinco down. Options Bold up to

time and a further advance in Juno options to
