Foreign Money Market.


LONDON, March 26.--After official
hours to-day the foreign funds became
ilattened. owing to the calling out of the
reserves and the militia. Consols and
Russian, Turkish, and Egyptian Sc
curitics were the principal sufferers by
the decline. The Paris bourse was fiat.
Rcnles closed at the lowest figure OF the
DAY. owing to the Tonquin defeat.
The fact that the Queen had sent
message to Parliament was not known
until after the official close on the Stock
Exchange. and when the news was re-
ceiyed most of the operators had gone.
Business during the day was steady,
with tendency towards better prices.
When the news Of the message came a
rush was made by the remaining deal
crS to sell consols and Russian bonds.
The former fell TO 9Gl-the lowest point
touched since 1873. when an Anglo
Russian war was threatened. Russian
bonds were offered at 92b. with no buy
ers. Large selling orders were received
from Berlin. 1t is feared there will he
a panic tomorrow.

PARIS, March GA dispatch has
been received from General Negricr,
dated Dong Dang, Tuesday, March
Gath, which says |" The Chinese at
tackled Dong Dang Sunday. advanced
Monday; captured the first line Of forts
defending their camp at Bangboo. To-
day renewed efforts were made by us
against the enemy, but these proved
unavailing in the face of superior num-
bcrs. Our artillery ammunition was
exhausted and We returned to Dong
Dang. Our loss in killed and wounded
numbers two hundred"
PARIS, March 26.-ln the Chamber
of Deputies to-day NJ. de La FosSe asked
the Government to publish the whole
truth concerning the Dong Dang affair.
NJ. Ferry, in reply, read General Ne
grier's telegram in reference to the en-
gagement. NJ. Ferry stated that mea-
Sures had been completed for the dis
patch Of relnforcements, the advance
columns Of which were arriving at
Langson.
1.-The affair at Dong Dang" he
said, "was merely an incident Of the
war, the effects OF which our glorious
commanders know how TO repair, and
which will not affect the confidence re-
posed in them by the Chamber" NJ.
de la Posse lauded the bravery Of the
French soldiers and expressed his re-
greet that such men should be sacrificed
to q mad criminal enterprise. This
speech was greeted with mingled ap-
plause and protests.
NJ. Ferry, replying to direct inter
pellation from a member Of the Right,
said: "lf you wish to make the mat.
ter a Cabinet question, do So"
NJ. dc La Posse thereupon declare
that although reinforcements had bee
repeatedly sent. the Tonquin expeditio

supreme Court Yesterday.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, March 26.-ln the
United States Supreme Court to-day ar
gument in the case of The Auditor of
Virginia RS. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, one of the coupon
tax cases, was concluded and argument
was begun in another Of the debt
caSeS-that Of The Auditor of Nir-
ginia rS. Edwin Parsons.
This latter case is on an appeal from
the United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern district of Virginia. The qucs-
ton is as to whether this suit is or is
not against the State itself, though
nominally directed against one of the
States officers.
The appellants contend that 1t is a
suit against the State, and that conse-
ouently this court is without .jurisdic-
ton. Acknowledgement Blair, OF Nir-
eiuia, made the argument on behalf of
the appellant.
The appellee brought suit in the Cir
cult Court to obtain an order TO restrain
the Auditor Of the State from refusing
to receive coupons Of the bonds issued
under the funding act Of 1871 in pay
ment Of licensc-taxes, and the court
granted the order; whereupon the de-
PENDANTS in that suit appealed to this
court. The principal question of law
involved in this case is the same as IN
the other coupon cases.
Mr.. Richard l.. Maury and Mr..
Wager Swayne made arguments for the
appellee.

The Buffalo Fire.
1Rv teIepranh 10 the Dispatch.

[By telegraph to the Dspatch.l
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 26.-The
burning of Music Hall and st. Louis
church is the topic of general CONVERSE
ton, and is looked upon as apublic
misfortune. To add to the horrors Of
last night it was ascertained this morn
ing that George J. Roth, member of
the fire department, who was last seen
on st. Louis church, had lost his life,
his charred remains being found this
morning in the debris of the tower.
He leaves widow and five children.
Ii has been aScertained that the water
in the building had been turned
off in the basement to prevent
it FROM freezing. Had it been left run
ming the building would probably have
been saved. The losses are placed as
follows Music Hall, 5000, 00G; Orpheus
Society, IS, 900; Charles +. Haung's res
taurant, 81 900; German Young Mems
Association library, 10000; Mech
Brothers. GO, 200; McCaull Opera Com
pany, 10000; Ftankcnstein, janitor,
$4,000; St. Louis church-building,
500, O0c--contents, $4,000; total,
1854, 900. Insurance ON Music Hall and
library, s55,375; on st. Louis church
building. $4,000; on contents Of the
church, $4,000; on Orpheus Society
property, $1,000; other insurance,
$4,000. The air is full Of rumors
of missing people, and possibly, as a
good many were viewing the fire from
the sidewalk in front Of Music Hall at
the time the front wall fell, other bodies
may still lie in the ruins. IL is. how
ever. more than probable that all
escaped, as the walls swaycd for time
before falling. The Building Commit
tee have called meeting to talk over a
project of rebuilding, and it is not i'm
probable that q public fund for this
purpose will be started.
A FRIGHTFUL CASUALTY.
The failure to rescue Joseph Green
from the cupola of the st. Louis church
while it was burning last night was
due to the fact that the tiremen had no
ladder Of sufficient length to reach him
The man was some hundred feet from
the ground. The longest extensions
ladder was at once seized by the fire
men, placed in position and run NJ
about seventy feet from the earth. II
was opposed by signal-wire fastened
TO the cupols. The foot Of the ladder
was instantly shifted few feet and the
ladder then lifted to its full height, but
il proved too short TO reach the man IL
peril. There was no network Of tele.
graph wires, as at first reported, pre-
venting the use of the ladders. Nc
lines pass the church.

NEW YORK. March 2G.--Thc stock
market has been feverish and somewhat
more active to-day, yielding readily to
the influence Of European war rumors.
There Is growing impression that
many Of these rumors are manufactured

Exchange. The conservative financicrs

of actual war between England aud
Russia would be to bring stocks TO this
country from abroad to be sold here.
The leading commission-houses COM

side operators. thus confirming the I'M
preston that large percentage Of
purchases and sales each day are for
account Of manipulators. Such rnanip-
ulation always results in driving legiti-
mate operators away from the market.
In the early dealings prices were
strong, but the market became quiet
after an advance of ,eI, which took
place early in the day. The reports of
a peaceful character led to a decided
break in prices, but the business Of the
forenoon was light. After midday
there was renewal Of the war rumors,
followed by activity and an advance in
