WHAT ENGLAND WILL DO ABOUT II.

WHAT ENGLAND WILL DO ABOUT II. =
A Herald cablegram of Nov. 25th
from London, says: Although. we are
now actually at war with Afghanistan,
it is not generally believed that a, Win
ter campaign will be prosecuted. 1t is
thought the initiative already taken
was intended primarily as practical no.
tice to the ameer that England means
war unless he backs down.
The summoning of parliament
for Dec. is regarded as a concession
to the public demand that the country
shall not be plunged into war without
parliamentary consultation. But now
that the blow has been struck, it is i'm
probable that the British forces will re-
tire. The danger is imminent that
an armed struggle is already opened
which will develop into far greater pro-
portions than that temporarily checked
by the Berlin conference. Except for
outside complications, British galor
and improved arms would make
short work with the Ameer.
But such compilations seem
sure to involve us in struggle for
which there is no reasonable occasion.
The only apparent alternative is Brit
ish alliance with Russia in the place of
the present jealousy, but that sensible
idea thus far finds slow growth in the
English mind.
---a THE FIRST. ENGLISH VICTORY. i !.
An India cablegram of Nov. 25th
says: 1t is believed the greater part Of
the garrison Of Ali Mu,jid are taken
prisoners. The Hill tribes intercepted
500 Afghan soldiers and deprived them
of arms and clothing. - s7-1.-..- si-.a
Ameer, master of horse, is captured.
He is said to be the chief instigator OF
hostility to England.
RUssIA's POSITION. = q.
A Berlin cablegram of Nov. oath
says the National Zeitasng says: Russia
being satisfied the Afghan war must re-
suit in British victory, does not con
| template intervention or interference
while hostilities last, but intends to claim
voice in the settlement of the terms
of peace. 1t bases its claim On the pro-
posed ratification of the Indo-Afghan
! frontier. Russia will not consent to an
nexation or the destruction of Afghan
istan, nor permanent acquisition by
England of positions commanding the
passes of Balkh.
GEN. KAUFMAN's ASTOUNDING SPEECH.
Saysa Berlin cablegram under date
of Nov. 22nd: General Kaufman when
delivering the sword TO be sent to the
Ameer, said: "My illustrious sover-
eign. on whose empire the sun never
sets, and whose raised finger causes a
million soldiers to rise up in arms,
sends this pledge of friendship and un-
changing affection to his friend and
ally, the noble and chivalrous ruler OF
fAfghans and Belooches. History teach
es that Russia ever espouses a just
cause; she has always known how to
protect allies from attacks from any
enemy, however powerful. Whoever
| sides with Russia need not fear that a
hair of his head will be injured. The
power of the Russian sword is great;
this. fact is known to the enemies OF
Russia as well as her allles.s May God

sovereigns, the czar and ameer. May

THE STOCK PANIC.
Says San Francisco special of No
vember Goth: Contrary to gen eraI ex-
pectation the stock panic continued to-
day. The outlook was more favorable
at the early session of the board this
morning, but at the II o'clock call
another break occurred, the Sierra Ne
vada going down to 65, the Union to 90.
In the afternoon thore was a partial re-
covery. The excitement in this city
and in Virginia City was intense when
the break of to-day occurred, and the
street was full of rumors that there had
been an outbreak in Virginia City. The
press and private dispatches contradict
SO far as any overt act is concerned. but
state that the miners, many of whom
have been ruined by the panic, threat
ened violence to John Skal, manager
of the Sierra Nevada, buS were to great
extent quieted by his proposition to ad-
mt committee of miners to examine
the mine. Great excitement still pre-
walls. E"2 g.
NO. 2 WHEAT CORNER FOR DECEMBER.
New York advices of the goth state
that Mr.. James r.. Keene is the head
of pool here to corner No. 2 spring
wheat in Chicago, and that he en-
ployed three houses here to telegram
to agents in Chicago to buy all the No.
spring they could without affecting
the market; that in addition Mr.. Keene
himself had telegraphed direct to four
Chicago houses including the prominent
firm of J. K. Fisher & Co., to buy
independently of other orders, and that
the result was entirely satisfactory.
Three million bushels, or the total stock
of that grade Of wheat in Chicago, were
secured in December contracts. In ad-
dition, 100000 December options
were bought, which will cover the full
amount of wheat possible to deliver
during that month. Mr. Keene, it is
said, has extended his operations to
the. Milwaukee market also, to keep the
price up there. veaaaga 2
