Boundary Question Holds No Progress in Anglo Russian Talks
A May 16 dispatch from Sovrumarox reports no progress in settling the Anglo Russian boundary differences. Russia is described as arbitrary in demands while Minister Phelps arrives in England to begin a wave of receptions and diplomatic meetings. The article covers Phelps’s welcome in Southampton, his London plans, and related parliamentary remarks on frontier talks and Afghan issues. Since the text also details court tennis results, royal receptions, and dynamiter trials, it provides a broad snapshot of international and domestic events in mid May. The boundary dispute dominates, with British concerns over frontier integrity and Russian responses shaping the tone of the reports. The piece notes the Pendseh incident and ongoing discussions between Granville, Earl Kimberly, and Baron De Staal awaiting the Czar’s approval.
