AttrlbutabIe 10 Speeulators.

The Rise and FAN of War Talk Wholly
Attributable 10 Speoulators.
LONDON, April 1S.-It may be set down
as absolutely true that the rise and fall Of
the war talk during the ten days past has
been largely due to speculative money
interested in making sales on purchases
Never in the history of modern times has
such a vast amount of money been inter-
ested in the change Of the public
opinion OF q single nation. Enormous
sums invested out and out by Berlin,
Vienna, Paris and London capitalists in
Russian securities and British consOls
have compelled O vast and powerful in
terest to maintain aud spread good news.
The owners Of millions Of idle money in
London and in the continental bOurses
seeking investment constitute, on
the other hand an equally powerful
class whose interests it is to
break values by securing and circulating
bad news. The struggle to ret2in 1t
against the battle TO get II has been
largely responsible for most of the war
news given to the public during the past
fortnight. Very little news has emanated
in any form from either the Russian or
English Governments.
AMBITION OF RUssIA'S GENERALS.
The Russian Generals are poor and
ambitious for fame, but no one suppOses
that they are market spectators. Eng
land never had a Ministry purer than the
present Cabinet. 1t is not only above sus-
piciOn. but out Of suspicious reach. In
Paris and Berlin spectators hold large
amounts of Egyptian stocks. These hold
ers fear that a crash would ensue in all
these stocks if England snould be COM
PEELED TO evacuate Egypt in order to
measure strength with Russia. Russia
has been making the strongest pOssi-
bic efforts to maintain financial
credit in Europe. She has recently an
nounced that the new tax on coupons
will be collected from Russian holders
only. Foreign holders of Russian bonds
have therefore nothing to do to escape
this c1upon tax but to make affidavit 10
to their nationality. The announcement
Of this peculiar distinction among in
yestOrs in Russian bonds has both created
surprise and helped Russian credit
abroad.
THE ROTHsCHILDs REFUSE TO LOAN.
The Imperial council, which has this
entire subject under present cOnsidera-
ton, has made haste TO relieve foreign
holders of alarm by making them ac-
uuainted with their exemption from this
coupon tax. and will soon make known
other important results of the discussion
which the council is now devoting to the
whole subject Of Russian credit. 1t is
not vet definitely known what the result
has been of the efforts OF the Russian
Government TO negotiate a loan with the
Rothschilds. II is believed, however,
that the Rothschilds have declined Rus
sia's terms. This belief is fortified by
reports that 4 number of contracts for the
Russian Government, the conclusion of
which were based on the success of the
| negotiation, have recently been aban-
doned because of an alleged refusal by
tue Rothschilds TO make the requested
loan.

lanta, the press and business public
would be present, represented by the
Mayor, editors anc leading citizens; that
they would then convey TO the President
an invitation SO hearty and earnest as
must cOnstrain him TO accept.
CLEVELAND's INTEREST.
Gen. Gordon further urged upon the
President that he would perform patri-
Otic duty in going among the Southern
people. The President seemed much in
terested, and asked many questions as TO
the length Of time it would require to
make lbe Trip, as % the character Of the
convention, the subjects to be discussed,
etc. Georgians express the utmost conf
denca that President Cleveland viii ac-
oept The invitatation, and that several

CHOLERA CHANCES.
The Outlook i'm France As Bad AS Ever
-Spain's Alleged Infection.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Dr. Hamil-
ton, Supervising Surgeon General OF the
Marine Hospital service, has received re-
ports of the sanitary condition in Toulon
and Marseilles, France, in which cities
the cholera scourge ragged with so much
violence last summer. DR.. Hamiltou's
agents report that there is no cholera in
either town at present, but both places
are as dirty as ever. and no attempt has
been made by the inhabitants to improve
the sanitary conditions. Cholera, the re-
ports say, viii undoubtedly again break
out as soon as the weather becomes warm
enough to release the germs, and there is
every reason to believe that the mortality
will be fully as great, or even greater,
than last year.
CHOLERA DENIED.
The Secretary of State has received a
dispatch from the United States Consul at
Madrid saying that he is informed by the
Director General of Health that there is
no cholera in Spain, and that the cases
recently reported in the Province of
Valencia are not cholera.
SPANS SCARE.
LONDON, April 1S-The Governments
of France, Holland, PORTUGAL and Turkey
have declared a quarantine against all

SPAIN PROTESTS.
MADRID, April 1S.-The government

Decision in the Dorsey Reoeivership
Matter Again Postponed.
ATLANTA, GA, April 1S.--The East
Tennessee, Virginia E Georgia Railroad
receivership case came up before Judge
Hammond this morning. Both sides pre-
sented solid legal fronts. When the case
was opened it was developed that there
was a misunderstanding between the
counsel OF the opposing sides as to the
question before the court. The attorneys
for Mr.. Dorsey held that the issue 20 be
argued was whether Mr.. Dorsey should
be put in possession OF the road as re-
ceiver, while the counsel for Nr. Fink
held that the suit was for the purpose Of
discussing the question of a permanent
receiver. Finally, upon motion Of the
counsel for Mr.. Fink, an agreement upon
the issue Of reinstating Mr.. Dorsey as re-
ceiYer was postponed until Monday after
noon at 4 O'Clock, and the question Of the
appointment Of permanent receiver was
set down for hearing on Saturday next.

LONDON, April 1S.-The bill to enable
the British Australasian colonies TO fed
crate, which was introduced last Thurs.
day in the House OF Lords by the Earl Of
Derby, Minister for the Colonies, contains
clauses declaratory OF the doctrine Of

of these clauses euacts that any

power to withdraw from tho federation
at its own discretion az any time without

Twelve little Children and a Man Bit

MILWAUKEE, April 17.-"There he

shrleked little boy as he dashed into a
group Of children in the northwestern
part Of the city early last evening.
The boys face was Dallid with fear.
Behind him was a ferce-loOking mastif,
growing, swapping and irothing ut the
mouth. IN another instant he bounded
among the children. They were frightened
into helplessness, and stood riyeted to the
spot, gazing in horror upon the monster.
Twelve little children-fiye girls and seven
bOys-were bitten severely before tho dog
broke away from the group.
Up the street the infuriated animal
darted, but no the FIRST corner was halted
by bullet from p0liceman's revolver.
The officer ran up and stood over the
quiyering form Of the brute, intending to
end its life with another shot. Without
warning however, the.dOg, with an angry
snarl, sprang up, fastened It's iangs in the
officers hand and fell back dead. The

and Unavoidable Resort.
JAMRooD, INDIA, April 1s.-The Ameer
before departing yesterday said that he
had ordered the tribes to repair the road
from Cabul to Herat, and that reinforce
ments had left Caudahar for Herat. He
believed that Russia might yield to the
remonstrance, being unable to give a
good excuse for her aggression. Only
when all arguments have failed, he said,
must war be considered, and then
me Afghans will rise as one man
TO repel the invader. His policy
was determined upon anc would not be
changed. IL was founded on common
sense. and not on oaths. HIS people must
accept it as he had, and must trust him
as he had been trusted by England. The
Afgbans would never surrender an inch
of territory or allow their country 90 be
highway Tor a Russian army, which
would mean occupation and the protec-
tion of q long line Of Russian communi-
cation and result in ruin and loss OF
independence. The Afghans would see
this and would lind that England IS heip-
ing them to maintain their freedom.
