preferred was quite a marked sufferer
from the reports of rate cutting in the
transoontinental passenger business. The
railroad list was very much neglected for

ing apparently died away entirely, in spite
OF many favOring conditions Of business
and the continued ease in money, which
seems TO show no effect whatever from
any demand TO meet July obligations or TO
take up government loan The very light
demand for stocks is not accompanied by
any pressure to sell large amounts and

China Has Agreed to Her Various De-
mahds.
London, March 25.-The Pelsin cores
pondent of the Times says: China yes
terday "wednesday agreed to all the
Russian demands" The following are
the concessions:
A lease of Port Arthur for 25 years as
a fortified naval base; a lease Of Ia
Lien-Wan for 25 years as an open port
and as the terminus of the Trans-Man-
churian railway, with right Of fortifi-
cation, and the right for The Russians
to construct a railway from Petuna Qn
Manchuria. on the Sunga-I riyer) to
Ta-Lien- Wan and Port Arthur on the
same terms as stipulated in the case OF
the Trans -Manchurian railway. China
saves her face by retaining nominal
sovereignty rights, which, however, she
is powerless to assert, the lease being
equivalent to cession.'
The Times, referring editorially to the
dispatch, says: THE news is so serious
that it may compel England to take inn
mediate action. If the Russian de-
mands are allowed to prevail, we shall
be Obliged to recognize the fact that
China is about to be rapidly reduced to
the position of the Khanates Of Central
Asia, first terrorized and paralyzed and
ultimately swallowed up by Russia"

Washington, March 25.-The court Of
inquiry appointed to investigate the
cause of the Maine disaster, has report
ed that the loss OF the battleship was
due to an outside explosion. The state
department, by direction of the presi-
dent, has cabled United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid to notify the Span
ish government of this conclusion.
The president and his cabinet advisers
held two extended sessions today, one at
1890 a. m. and another at $50 p. M,
at which the report was considered in
detail Members Of the cabinet stated,
after the meeting, that the discussion
was of grave character, and that never
since the wrecking of the Maine has the
situation seemed so critical.
The Spanish government has cabled
officially to Washington that the Span
ish naval commission holds the disaster
to the Maine to be of internal origin.
The government of Spain, 1t can be
stated positively, is not disposed to turn
back the torpedo flotilla now proceed
ing from the Canaries, and would be
disinclined to consider a suggestion from
this government tending to interfere
with the disposition by Spain of her own
naval forces.
War preparation on an unprecedented
scale is being hurried to completion by
the war and naval departments, and
the country practically is on war foot
ing.
The foregoing gives the record of one
Of the most eventful days the national
capital has seen since the close of the
civil war
1t was day of profoundly important
action, of the deepest anxiety, coupled
with naval and military activity, one
step following another In rapid success
sion. Representative men of the ad-
ministration, public men in all branches
Of official and congressional life, no less
than the public in general, shared in the
tension to which the situation has been
wrought There was no effort among
the highest officials, nor indeed was it
possible, owing to what was clearly ap-
parent in the developments of the day,
to minimize the situation.
Viewed in detail, the finding of the
court of inquiry was the most vital fea-

ture. Commander Mark, judge advo-
cate Of the court of inquiry, delivered
the report to Secretary Long early this
morning, and shortly after it was car
ried to the White House and placed in
the hands of the president.
At 1890 the cabinet assembled, half an
hour earlier than usual, and began the
consideration of the momentous docu-
ment. Even the rigid rules of secrecy
which prevailed at cabinet meetings
were made doubly strict in this case, and
no intimaHon of the results reached by
the court was known until 2 O'clock,
when an Associated Press bulletin gave
the information to the country, as well
as to the eagerly waiting officials
throughout Washington.
These results, briefly stated are that
the loss of the Maine was due to an ex-
plosion from the outside; the court being
