London, April 4.-Reports which

in, viceroy of India, indicate that the
negotiations in progress at Rawal
Pindi, between him for Great Britain,
and Abdurrahman, the Ameer of AZ
ghanistan, are satisfactory to the Iu-
dams and, apparently, to the British.
and they also indicate that the nego-
tiations tend so strongly towards a
joint military alliance between Eng
land AID the Ameer that their very
success may be accepted by Russia as
a menace. The Earl of Dufferin, fol
instance, to-day reports that N,
Amer has obtained from Iudia ,
special subsidy for the maintenance o
an Afghan garrison at Herat, of sui
hcient strength to insure the integ

FAILURE OF CISCO & son.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-It was officially an
nounced shortly after the close of business
that the old banking firm Of John J. Cisco &
Son, SO Wall street, had made an assign
ment to Louis May, formerly of the banking
and brokers firm of May & King, who is also
the assignee of Holstead, Haines & Co., which
concern suspended some months ago. The
firm was intimately connected financially for
many years with the Louisville &
Nashville and Houston & Texas Central Rail
road companies, and it is supposed from
the late decline in the secureties of these
corporations as well as general shrinkage
in value throughout 1884, the assignment
was caused. The senior partner died last
year and on April next, the affairs of the
old firm were TO be closed, and everything
would have gone on as usual up to that time
but for the reports that they were embar-
rassed, which ere started about ten days
ago and telegraphed throughout this country
and Europe. These reports grew out of the
fact that the firm was understood to be largely
interested in Houston d Texas central bonds
which have greatly deprecated since the
present management of the road
caused coupons of the first mort
gage bonds to be bought BY
the Southern Development company
instead Of paying them direct as heretofore.
Although the reports affecting the credit Of
the firm were denied at the time, they led
to steady and increasing run by depositors,
and it was deemed best for the benefit of all
creditors to make an assignment without
preference, for the purpose of gradual
liquidation. AS generally believed this af
ternoon the matter is rather in the nature of
a liquidation than failure, as it is stated all
the depositors will be paid in full, as soon as
securities can be realized upon.

furnace, and the product was wheeled away on
barrows. From this humble beginning has
grown the great firm of Oliver Bros. & Phillips,
which now employ over 1000 men. Among their
various establishments may be mentioned the
two mills on the South side in the lower part OF
Allegheny City, and steel and two wire mills
on the South side. One of heir largest ventures
was the manufacture OF barbed wire. Some
eighteen months ago Harry Oliver visited England,
and on his return imported workmen and erected
steel mill into which 1t has been impossible for
information seekers to obtain entrance. The
new process is said to be a better one than the
we'll known musket process. The firm has been
uniformly successful, and the profits have aggre-
gated millions. About three years ago Mr..
Lewis retired from the firm with fortune of
several millions OF dollars. The present mem
bers are II. W. Oliver, Jr,
D. W. Oliver, George Oliver, J..
B. Oliver. ]. NJ. Phillips. and several relatives
of the original proprietors. Harvey W. Oliver,
Jr., is the best known member of the firm out
side OF the city by reason of his candidacy for
United States senator in 1881 and his membership
in the tariff commission. BE has been known as
one of the stalwart leaders in his state and q
liberal contributor to campaign funds, but has
never held any local office. His railroad specu-
lations have been on large scale, and re is said
to have cleared S400, 900 in single deal in Lake
Shore stock alone.
