The War and the Markets.

LONDON, March 11.-Rumors of war
with Russia and the expectation, of large
deliveries Of stock at the conclusion of
settlement tomorrow, together with a
general disinclination to buy stocks of
any sort under the present circumstances,
completely demoralized the market tc-
day, aud except in the cases of American
and Canadian railway securities, prices
have fallen heavily on all sides. Consols
show decline OF So to 1116 since yester-
day evening. Russian secui ties are ia
lower, Egyptian securities IL lower, and
other countries a fraction lower Gillian
and Brazilian stocks recede respectively
81 and 2, owing to rumors of political
troubles in those countries.
Later.-The panic abated somewhat
after the close Of the market, owing to
the statement of Childers, Chancellor OF
the EXchequer, in the Commons, that no
heWs OF u Russian advance in Afghani-
man had been received by the govern
ment, and he did not believe an advance
had been made. Dealings continued long
after the official close. Many orders to
sell were leceived from Bellin and Frank
fort. II is reported that financial agents
OF the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs
MADE ovettures to the Rothschilds and
Earrings to join the German BANKERS
Memberships, in placing a new Russian
loan. These proposals, it is said, We're
refused

in 4 per cent. cupons Of Is at 1925 bid.
AZ per cents regular, and coupon Il
higher, at 11118 bid. Railroads active,
strong. Stocks opened heavy at a decline
of a to u per cent. and during the first
hour made further fractional losses, but
the decline was checked before the end
of the first hour, and from that time I'M
til the close, the market was strong and
higher. During the afternoon the street
was full of rumors of war be-
tween England and Russia; and
while operators were divided as to the
immediate effect on stocks of declara-
ton OF hostilities, the majority were I'M
questionably in favor OF higher prices.
The Bulls are earnest advocates of the
theory that European war will create
an active market for all American pro-
ducts, which in turn will greatly increase
the earnings of most railroad lines. Ii
to-day's rumors prove true, the market is
starting on another great boom not unlike
that of rs and 70. There is in

The Railroad COMPLICATIONS.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The Chicago
Ne1Cs says: The new rates from Chicago
to the Pacific coast will go into effect
March 20, but the Central Pacific has
interposed bar to the successful carry
ing out of the agreements formed by the
Transcontinental and Pacific Coast Asso-
Citations. J. c.. Stubs, Of the Central
Pacific, gave formal notice yesterday that
the Central Pacific from Ogden, and the
Southern Pacific from Mohave juno
ton, would exact their full proportions
of the through tariff ratee of January LIST.
Business from New York to the Pacific
coast, the bulk of which has been going
by the "Sunset route from New York to
New Orleans by water, and thence by the
Southern Pacific, is the stumbling block.
The recent action of the TranscOntinental
Association in putting Chicago merchants
in position to compete with New York
by reducing from here, and the
withdrawal Of the through rate by
the all rail route from New York initiates
against the "Sunset route" and Stubs
seems determined to baulk all measures.
His lines hold the keys to the Pacific
Coast practically, save that the Union
Pacific can get out by the Oregon Short
Line, and if he persists in his determine
ton to demand the local tariff for his
lines, the outcome is hard to
guess. A meeting to consider
existing complications is 10 be held in
Denver in two weeks, but the prospect
for peaceable settlement is not encourag-
ing. Superintendent OF transportation
of the Pacific Coast and ColoradoU Utah
associations are requested to meet two
weeks from yesterday to agree on uni
form schedule for freight trains between
terminal points

The Crisis Coming.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Cabinet met
at noon, an unusually early hour, and at
once attracted attention. Reports
quickly spread that crisis was being
considered. The interest in the meeting
soon became intense; this was warranted
by several incidents which preceded and
attended the council Immediately be-
fore the conference Colonel Maude,
Fouerrv-in-Chief to the Queen,
called upon Gladstone and had
long interview. Among the rumors
to Which this gave rise was one to the
effect that the Queen had been advised
that the Indian situation was grave and
renuired vigorous and decisive action and
that she rather urgently insisted on the
government doing something. This and
Similar stories attracted large crowd to
Downing street and before the Cabinet
had been long in session, the Prime Min
ister's official residence was sur
rounded by large crowd. Upto O'Clock
it was not publicly known what the
ministers had done. 1t is reported they
decided to address a serious representa-
ton TO the Russian government that II
/ through any Russian advance in Afghan
istan a conflict results with the Ameer's
troops. Russia must accept the conse-
ouence, as England is bound to guard the
! Afghan territory.

A PROMISING Son.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March ia sensa-
ton was created to-day at Bowling Green,
KY, by Charles Moore entering the
house of his father, DR.. r. J. Moore, one
of the best known and wealthiest citizens
of the State, and demanding that his
aged parent sign notes amounting to
$6,110, which he refused to do. The boy
then seized his father by the throat and
choked him severely. Releasing his held

forth two revolvers, which induced his
