AnaIsamated COPPER Irregular.
The new uncertainty over the copper
situation is as to whether there is any
truth in the story from London yester-
day that an agreement has been made
with the Rotsehilds 10 restrict the output
of European eo~-A-. Some doubts were
cast on the authenticity OF the story this
morning, and after Amalgamated Copper
had opened at a sharp advance to 1881
1t broke quickly 10 6S and a fraction.
Later it recovered to above 20 again
It is very evident that wide fluctuations
are still to be expected in the stock.
THOUGH many careful people express the
belief that it has seen its lowest price.
GouId-RocIefeIIer Buying.
Manhattan was distinctly the strong
feature of the early market It was If
regular during the first hour, but soon
began to advance under what seemed TO
be good buying for inside interests, in
other words, Gould buying, If the Street
experts are to be believed
The beginning Of the use OF electric
power on some of the lines of the sys-
TEN is considered a bull argument,
though it is to be doubted if the good
effects OF the change OF motive power
have not been pretty thoroughly dis
counted in the recent big advance in the
stock
Missouri Pacific, the Wabashes, and
other Gould securities were also strong
this morning as they were yesterday
There was a story in the Street that the
younger members OF the Gould and
Rockefeller families have combined in
market alliance to put up the prices OF
the Gould securities during the coming
week or two, but there was no evidence
in support of the rumOr except that these
two parties seemed TO be buyers of the
stocks.

THE MANCHURIA CESSION
ATTITUDE of the United States Not
Changed Since its Protest to China

Washington, March 26.-The state de-
partment today made public a note
sent to the Chinese minister February
18th, warning the Chinese government
against entering into any private ter
.~ritorial or financial arrangements with
out the full knowledge of all the pow
Ters. The note is as follows:
The preservation of the territoriall
integrity of China having been recog-I
|nized by all the powers now engaged
in joint negotiations concerning the in
listers and nations by certain officials
and subjects of the Chinese empire. it
is evidently advantageous to China to
continue the present international I'M
I~derstanding upon this subject. 1t
would be, therefore, unwiSe and dan
lgerous in the extreme for China to
make any arrangement or to consider
lany proposition OF a private nature IN
lvolying the surrender of territory or
financial obligations by convention with
lany particular power, and the govern
ment of the United States, aiming sole

A NEW CHINESE PHASE
Danger OF America Being shin Out of
All Interest In China.

Washington. March s6.-While atten-
ton has been centered upo the crisis
connected with the Manchurian agree
ment, an entirely new and important
phase Of the Chinese question has been
presented by the action OF the minis
ters at Pekiu. in agreeing Yesterday TO
submit to their various governments
whether Articles Z and 3 OF the Chinese
protocol shall be carried out by the
military authorities of all the powers
interested in China or only by those
powers who are continuing TO take part
in the application of these articles. The
action OF the ministers has been com
municated TO several OF the foreign
embassies and legations here, and
doubtless MI. Rockhill has made or
Will make known the same facts. The
articles in question are as follows:
Article VII.-The destruction OF the
forts which might obstruct free com
munication etwee Fekin and the
sea.
Article IX.-The right to maintain
occupation o certain points. to be de-
termined by an understanding among
the powers in order to obtain open
communication between the capital
and the sea"
AS these two questions appear TO in
volve territorial affairs 1t may become
OF considerable moment whether h
determination OF such affairs is to DO
left with the military authorities OF all
the powers, or only with such powers
as continue their military force I'm
China
In the latter case the United States
| government may be quietly but effect
ually deprived OF all voice In the set
tlement of 50 much OF the Chinese
question as relates to the determine
ton OF the strength OF the military
forces to be continued there in the flu
ture by the powers. 1t also Is possible
that an affirmative decision by the
powers which would exclude the United
States from participation in the discus
sion on the important point might be
extended to put us out Of China alto
gether.

session and that her mother and broth
Err would vacate h mansion shortly.
