Niw York, May 1.—"The first effect of a declaration of war between England aud Russia," said Henry Clews, "will be to make a soda-water rise in stocks at the New York exchange, but in Loudon and on the continental bourses it will be just the reverse; a vigorous breac will take place in consols, rentes and Russians, which will drag down American and other securities with them. Lower prices in London will naturally produce lower prioes here in sympathy during the shock. America will soon, however, absorb her good properties at the reduced prices, but leave the poorer ones for European permanent holding. After American capitalists hfve bought up the best American stocks in the London market at panic prices a basis will then be established for a substantial advance on this ride. An Anglo-Russian wai'means war to the knife and will be of long duration, and after its first shock, as above stated. Is over, American securities will be appreciated largely over those of ail others, owing to the abao lute certainty that this country cannot possibly be dragged into the European complications, while no other first-olass nation ii free therefrom."

"It is significant,n said Miss Barton, "thit the international oommittee of Geneva, within the last year, has felt it to be necessary tc call a conference of its 30 military powers U personally advise in regard to the most ef fectlve mode of war relief. It was siguifi cant that the Empress of Germany, as president of the Bed Cross association of Germany, should at that time have offered a valuable prize and a gold medal for the best movable field hospital the world could invent, and that her philanthropic daughter, the Grand Duchess Louise, of Baden, should have been willing to take upon herself the labor and responsibility of another conference in three years, or sooner if needeJ, and to offer her court for its assemblage.

FACTS FOB TOURISTS AND SMI Lockport, N. Y., May L—Tho grand jury has presented an indictment which caused much gossip because the indicted man, A. H. Weston. i« a prominent attorney of Lockpart, connected with several leading families of this place and moving In the best society. He is indicted for grand larceny in the second degree. If all reports are correct, he was left by hi) father's death six or sevon years ago an established law practice and $30,000. Being energetic, he felt that Lockport was too sma'.l a place for a successful career, and having been successful in one or two ventures, hie caught the speculative fever and moved to Chicago, where, according to all accounts, 18 months' experience in the grain market cleaned him out of about everything, lieturning to Lockport he has practised law here and borne an excellent reputation for ability and honesty, but it is probable that other operations hampered his resources until he used money belonging to others. The oharge under which he is indicted is appropriating C180 belonging to a client, and he has been in custody three weeks, under a body execution to recover $1,800 collected for another client. It is said that other irregular transactions have come to light, but not of so serious a nature. His family is one of the most refined in the city, and much sympathy h felt for them. by Legalized Gambling. It is entrant goarip at the various embassies that the negotiations between England an J the porte are hanging fire,  at the foreign office to yield to Turkey'* representations respecting a new Tui kiahloan, more direot authority of Turkey over Egyj*,and an indefinite postponement of the reform clauses of the treaty of Berlin. It is now quite certain that the Russians ) ave taken Maruchak, and that Sir Peter "I can only say that be is anxious to be with you, and is saving up his strength and doing all he can to be able to do so. I think it is possible, but 1 cannot say it is probable." "Do you think tha general will win this batttef asked Gen. King, to Which Col. Grant replied: "It looks like it now, bat I cannot tell. He is much better to-day, and for the first time since his severe spell has been at work upon his book. He has dictated to-day enough to make 26 pages of printed matter. On this account he has not been out" LuiQaden, when he informed the government to the contrary ,"h*d allowed himself to be fooled by the governor of Herat. This is the second mistake that Sir Peter baa made reherding the purposes and achievements of the Russians. The first contributed to the loss of Fbnjdeh, the second prevented any measures being taken to save Maruchak A few more mistakes would quite posrthly result ia his recall. The delegation then withdrew, after expressing their pleasure in hearing of the general's continued improvement "For months pant," said Miss Barton, "not many day* hare passed oonseentirely without bringing to the headquarters of the American Bad Cross fresh evidence of the approach of war, sooner or later to sweep over the old lands.
