THE AMEER’3s DIF FICULC POSITION

The Mullahs Denounce Him asan Ap >state to His subjects,

The correepondent in St. Pi tersburg of the London Standard reports, upon what he describes as high authority, that the Ameer of Afghanistan has fouud hiniselt of late in an exceedingly difficult position. He adds that the story finds imp)icit cre- dence in Russian government ¢irel<¢ which are apt to be well iufo med in matters of this kind. The report is to the effect that the Ameer has alienated the sympathies of hie clergy, and of a considerable number of other influential Afghaus, by making com- mon cause with the Indian govern- ment against hie correligionitts. The Muliahs are now busy dencuncing him to his subjects as am apostate whose con- duct will bring down all manner of evils | upon the peopie andthe country. He is

| said to havé been frequentiy menaced, and

to goin the coastant fear of his life. It is further affirmed that bis own officials ate opposed to his policy, and may prove

Great Pritain Enforcing the Rights of a Canadian in Houston, Texas,

Woopsrock, On:r., Dec. 13.—The care with which Great Britain watches tbe interests of those beneath her protection 1s exemplified in the case of Ed. Underwood who wasextradited on a charge of murder, from Woodstock to Heuston, Texas, about one year 8go.

He was acquitted on that charge in Dec. 1896, but was immediately arrested on two charges of! burglary and senteuced to be hanged. This conviction was a violatioa of the treaty of extradition between Great Britain and the United Statee, and D. S. Kendal], on the prisouer’s behalf, invoked the aid of the Canadian Minister of Justice.

From the Minister of Justice the peti- tion went to the Sccretary cf State, and thence to the British embassy at Washing: ton. The presicent communicated with the Governor of Texas. The latter denied the right of the federal authorities to inter- fere with tbe sovereign stae of Texar, and the British embasey promptly com- municated with the Marquis of Salisbury.

Since that time the foreign office has been watching the case, insisting tbat the Governor of Texas be prevented from carrying out sentence on Underwood, ard demanding his surrender.

The sovereign gov-rnor has at last telegraphed: ‘“ Undsrwood is in no dan- ger,” and a settlement is now pending.
