ENGLAND is caught again--trapped IN
Airhanistan as she was in the soudan.
By a policy Of diplomatic delay Russia
gained position, and when she was ready
sbs struck. Mschisyclli held that lying
was allowable in diplomacy, and Russia
has followed that theory. 1t is the mit-
fortune OF England that she doesn't ap.
preciate a menace until she is hurt. Tho
war seems to be on, and it opens with the
advantage on the Russian side.
in this struggle England faces apower
greater than the Alahdi's, apower with
money, men and ships. The discontinue
Of the soudanese is only question Of
time. The issue OF n conflict with such q
power as Russia must at least be doubtful,
though actual hostilities will bring out the
strength Of England, richer in resources
than any nation Of the old world. Unless
Russia thinks it better to explain away
the slaughter and to promise 10 so on with
the peaceful solution OF the boundary
question, a bloody and prolonged war has
already begun.

London Change Greatly Excited -oLicars
and New York In Sympathy. 4

q
LONDON, April Eat 1880 this morn
ing there was q great depression in the
financial circles. It is but too evident
that the leaders Of the street now feel that
war is certain. Consols which closed last
night at 97 1-l8, for both money and
account, opened this morning at96S for
both. Russian stocks are about as weak a
they well can be, having declined three
points since the close last night.
CnicAop, April S.-There WAS .. war
panic on Change at the opening this
morning, produced by the exciting news
from London and ST. Petersburg; TO the
effect that fighting had already occurred
on the Afghan frontier. The rapid de-
cline in consols indicated a crisis Of some
character, but the exact nature and relia-
bls report OF the intelligence was not
known to the grain traders, who went in
blindly, however, on general principles,
and May wheat which closed last night at
.S3 cents, rose by stages Of q and cent at
q iampto SSgc, where tho market rested
tior q moment, and the general free dffer-
ing and partial subsidGnce Of the scare
prices dropped of nearly two cents to SO 10,
then rose again 10 S6Sc. Allthe other
markets took on the same excited tone
thought in a modified degree. Pork opened
at Sl2 90 for May and rose TO Sl2 so, and Is
now quoted at Sl2 %.
New YoRS, April 9-'rhe Erening Post
in It's financial article says: For the
time being all special conditions ofNpar-
ticular stocks are lost sight Of in the be-
liefthat a war would cause such demand
for American commodities and cause such
an increase Of traffic and speculation that
all stocks would be advanced to a higher
level. This with the jump Of FIVE cents
per bushel in wheat from last nights
prices shows that there is an enormous
OF capital ready to be launched
into speculation as soon as there Is any
OF an advance, and the uniformity
Of the advance in stocks, good, bad and
Indifferent, shows that when the advance
really begins 1t will not be governed by
very much reasoning about the character
