Condie Stephen. The Prince, who received me very cordially, introduced me to my Russian colleague, General Zelenoi, who was present during the whole of the interview, together with Colonel Shepeleff, his Excellency's Militnry Secretary. After some general conversation, during ~hich both the Prince and General Zelenoi expressed their satisfaction at the fortunate coincidence of their happening to be at TitHs at the time o( our passage through. the town, the former inquired on what date, aud at what spot, the Commission was to assemble," declaring that neither he nor General Zelenoi had l'eceived any information wliatever 'on the subject;, 'and adding that the latter was on the point of starting for St. Petersburgh to receive his instructions. In reply, I informed his Excellency that the date proposed was the 1st November, but that J should not be able to reach the frontier hefore the 7th. As regards the place of meeting, T understood that' Sarakhs was the spot named. The Prince then went on to describe his own visit to those regions, maintaining that he knew absolutely Dothing as to the recent views of the 'Russian Government on the subject, and assuring me that his sole object in referring to the matter was out of friendship to me. He ~imself saw no reason why the Commission should not pomplete " their labours in a very'short space,of ~ime, say, three months, if only a previous linder­ standing were established between the two Governments on two points, 'namely, the starting-point pIi the Heri-Rud, and the point where the frontier-line 'Would cross the fdurghab. Betwe!!n Rhoja Saleh and Ankhoi all the Commission would have to do would be to draw an imaginary line. The portion bordering on Mailileneh was, it was true, very impQrtant, but it was weH defined and ough~ not to occasion any disputes. It would be in drawing a satisfactory line from that neighbourhood westward to. the' Heri-Rud that the main difficulty would lie. He then referred to the question of Penjdeh. maintaining that the 8arik Turkomans living there had never paid tribute to the 'Ameer, but simply certain annual sums for permission for their flocks to graze on the rich slopes of the Uppe~ Murghab. If such payments were to be regarded as bibute, it might equally well, be maintained that the Yuletan Sa.riks owed allegiance to the Ameer, for they had also, from time to time, paid sums to the Government of Rerat in the shape of • customs dues. I replied that I was not prepar€dto enter upon the suhject of YU\etaD, the information I possessed with regard to that Settlement being at present very vague, but with respect to Penjdeh, there was the strongest proof that that place had formed, and still continued to form, a portion of Afghanistan~ The inhabitants had always paid tribute to the Ameer, and had even occasionally supplied the'Herai Government with a small body Qf horsemen, and had for the last thirty years permitted an Afghan Repre­ sentative to reSide among them as their Governor. I was even told that there was Ii spot, about 30 to!lO miles to the north of Penjdeh,' called Kale BirUh, which had always been known to the natives as the actual front.ier of Afghanistan on the Murghab. In repl, fo an inquiry made by Mr. Stephen with regard to certain rumoura to which the Prince had . alluded in a previous interview that mor/iing, his, Excellency statedtbat a report of a somewhat vague character had reached him ,.to _the 'I!/fect tQ;lt, olVing to the advance of Afghan troops. the Sarik Turkomans of Penjdeb were preparing to withdraw their. cattle from the neighbouring hills and to collect ,them at Penjdeh, with a view to emigratillg to Yuletan. " ~ . Th. Prince desired me to consider the discussion we had had as purely academiCal. At the interview which I had with M. Melnikoff on the.24th illstant, at Gulabek. the same arguments were used, his Excellency making particular inquiries as to whether Her Majesty's Government were prepared to encourage anyintel'ference of any third Power in tle work 'of the Commission, or in questions ,as to the -boundal'Y betweeQ,Persia and Afghanistan. ' . " -. , I replied that the frontier betweell Afghanistan -ana ,Persia was clearly defined by maps, and that I hac! .received distinct instructions to reject any' claim that she might raise to territory, qn the right bank of the Heri-Rud;'The present negotiations would be carried on exclusively between the Russia!) and English Governments., and I should without any hesitation, refuse to enter on the question of the frontier relations betwee~ .'

  • Samuel Pedlar Manuscript
    Samuel Pedlar Manuscript Transcribed from a microfilm of the original By Sharon Stark & Margaret Egerer July/August 1970 Samuel Pedlar Manuscript This small collection consists of material collected and compiled by Samuel Pedlar (brother of the founder of Pedlar People, a prominent Oshawa industrial establishment). It covers the period 1790-1904, and includes: notebooks; a map of Lake Simcoe watershed; photocopies of clippings; a typescript copy of an 1878 census of Oshawa; a copy of the Oshawa Vindicator, 1894, containing industrial history; and manuscript and typescripts copies of "From Cornwall to Canada, 1841", being facts collection by Sam Pedlar and rewritten by Charles H. Wethy (Toronto), regarding the Cornish immigration to Canada. The material was purchased from Samuel Pedlar (Oshawa) in May, 1904 and May, 1905, and borrowed from Mrs. Oscar Mills (Oshawa) in April, 1963. Dec. 10, 1969 R. Nickerson la FRAME 1 Clinton, November 21, 1894 S. Pedlar, Esq. Toronto Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9th inst relative to the name of Oshawa was duly received. I have been studying the question at this time suggested in Mr. Bateman's letter but find various difficulties. An interpretation not mentioned by him, but offered by good authority makes the word mean FRAME 2 "ferry him over." The word in Indian (i.e. Ojibway) would bear that interpretation: but how about the local application? I know little of Oshawa except what I learn from the directories. There mentions Warren Creek as a stream flowing through the town. Would this creek before it was bridged have required a ferry? And do you happen to know if there was once a ferry at Oshawa? Next, then an Indian village at or near the site of the present town? If you can give the information on these points I may be better able to find a satisfactory answer to your inquiries which I shall be happy to do.

    SRHE NEWS NO 2 May 2010 The world to come This issue of SRHE NEWS will be circulated just before the UK general election on 6th May. The financial prospects for UK higher education seem bleak, whatever the election result, and this reflects the situation in much of the developed world, as ‘Cutswatch’ in this issue shows. Echoing 1997’s election-straddling Dearing Inquiry, Labour and Conservative parties have postponed the difficult question of whether to raise undergraduate fees by commissioning a review which will not report until after the election. Liberal Democrats plan to phase out fees and the National Union of Students has persuaded 1000 Parliamentary candidates of all parties to oppose fee increases. But all parties talk of public expenditure as if it were synonymous with ‘waste’, higher education has already taken a financial hit, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that HE must take a further 24% cut to make the parties’ budget arithmetic work. Gloom abounds, but let us take a longer and broader view. On 22/23 April SRHE and the Council for Industry and HE staged a seminar at St George’s House Windsor on the theme of Trust, Accountability and the World to Come. Educationists and industrialists explored not only our difficulties but also our responsibilities and our opportunities in the post-credit-crunch post-election world to come. The discussions emphasised that as we enter difficult years of restricted funding, growing workload pressure and (perhaps) higher student fees, it will help to stay focused on why we do what we do, and what matters most.
