A SERIOUS MATTER.
GUN-RUNNING IN PERSIAN GULF.
(Received December 29 } 9 a.m.)
LONDON, December 28
The Westminster Gazette says that gun-running in the Persian Gulf cannot be stopped without the cooperation of France, which has hitherto not seen her way to relinquish her trading rights in Muscat. Meanwhile, a partial remedy is in England's hand, namely, to stop the export of Home-made rifles, which are finding their way to the northwestern frontier, via Muscat.
The Morning Post states that the rifles which are smuggled in are made chiefly in France and Belgium.
