Grant's condition during the Mtofeaty-fonr hours, and the physicians and FJMnow talking of events to happen a • hopes," says a Sew York dispatch of the Morning of the l-Hh inst. "T<>e General was miM tn street attire, yesterday, and walked the library, remarking that he It better than for two weeks. Tne swell- t on his neek was much reduced. Yestcr- jr morning, soon after <k3i>, and while Mrs. tirnt was In the adjoining room, the General . iMdethe servant, brlnir him R pad of writing • MCper. On It he wrote a bulletin, as follows: *TN»e doctor tells me I am better thismomtn tam better. I am better. I am better than Mr*been m two weeks. U. 8. GRANT. "Having so written the General handed his •. bulletin to the servant and told him he should • carry It to Mrs. Grant., who was sitting in the library almost in fight of her hnsbmd. The fcervant delivered the message with formality. Sirs. Grant reni it, showed it to Dr. Douglas, |Ad both, laughing. entered the sick robin, trhere pleasantries passed, the General joining With a smile. A gentleman who is thoroughly Conversant with Gen. Grant s ailment said to- *lght: The marvelous improvement in the Gen­ ital's condition is not at all surprising to me. •a may live two or three weeks and he miv lire four months. If he survives unfc 1 the ear.y part Of summer he will be taken out of the citv to the mountains, probably, as 1 do not think thesea " fir would agree with him. If he had strength enough I think he would Ukcto go to Califor­ nia. If he improves in the same ratio in the next few days ne will be driving in the park Hrfs week. He tried three varieties of nourish­ ment to-day, and, being in a facetious mood. Inferred to them as 'his three courses.'" A small incandescent electric light is u-ed in the exam­ ination of the ulceration of the General's throat, «id when introduced into the sufferer's mouth uminate* the parts effectively. • £ A ooMfnued improvement in the condition of ©en. Grant was noted by the bulletins tele­ graphed lrom New York on the morning of April IS. He had passed a comfortable ni^ht. Securing many hours of refreshing sleep, and in ' the morning chatted pleasantly with members ..•( the iamtly and the doctors. "There is talk of f' taking the General to the mountains as soon as the weather relaxes somewhat in its severity, provided, of conrse, that he continues to im- • prove," .says one of the dispatches. The Gen­ eral chafes constantly a*, his confinement to 1 $be sick room, and longs for a change, and e -It is thought that if he can be successfully re­ moved to the bracing »ir of the mountains there will be more chance for him to regain his strength. It is also thought that he would be troubled less with the accumulation of mucus in the throat if he could breathe the dry atmos­ phere ot the inland mountain region, instead of the humid air of the coast." Rev. ,1. i* Hewman, the General's ]astor, was interviewed t»y a rew>rter. "Gen. Grant is very much bet- ; for." said the parson. "He converses readily With those around him, and seems to be quite cbeeifnl and happy. He is sitting partly dressed and In a dressing-gown. There is a great im- nrovement in his condition. The color of his ifcin is different. He looks more like a healthy man. He is buoyed up by faith. The (prayers of the people of the whole oountry have been offered up for him, and they are being answered. He now believes lie will get well. He feels and I feel that the supplications of so many millions of people tor < Much a consummation will be answered. There is a grand chance of the General's getting well •gain. Bis improvement may be credited par­ ticularly to the power of mind over iratter. To-day, as I parted from him, he pressed my Jiand and saia: ' Thrice have I be n in the Ihadow of the valley of death, and thricc have I teme out again.'" • ' • i - A continued improvement in Grant's condi­ tion was noted in the bulletins issued on the morning of Friday, April 17, and the belief was fpuning strength that the illustrious patient migty ultimately recover entirely. The General •nrprlsed his family and friends by walking down stairs unaided, while the former were at hatch, and, after taking his place at the* table, ate cold mutton, cut very small, and maca­ roni. Senator Chaffee, speaking of this •uprising evidence of returning strength, re­ marked, "The family were entirely surprised, bat highly delighted, and now indulge hopes that be may get well entirely. His throat is bet­ ter, less painful, and the doctors say there is an Improvement in the disease ' itself. I am somewhat inclined to think there is Something In that." " That is merely an aggra­ vated case of ulcerated sore throatV "Yea, something of that kind. I think there is a pos­ sibility of it at least I asked Dr. Hhrady wont it, but he does not think so. He says Wat Some of the little pieces that have Item taken from the sore have been subjected to microscopic examination bv other physicians, and they have all agreed that it was epithelioma cancer. He says thev oould not have been mistaken. But It la my opinion that there is at least a chance that they were." Mr. Dana said < <Htoria!lv in the Sun, In its issue of April 17: "The improve­ ment in Oen. Grant's condition steadily con­ tinues. It Is now ascertained that his disease is not cancer, and there is no reason in his ybystoi organization why he should ** re- , •Over his health entirely." THE EASV.

THE following story is telegraphed from the City of Mexico: "When the troops of the Colombian Government finally entered Colon, after it had been burned by the reb­ els under the leadership of Preston, they captured several squads of rebels. During the past ten days the number of these pris­ oners has been considerably augmented by the receipt of straggling rebels captured in surrounding districts. It is not known now just how many rebels were thus held pris­ oners at Colon, but good authorities place the number at about 400. Authentic in­ formation reaches this city that on Wednes­ day. the 15th of April, the officers of the Colombian Government selected 100 of the worst rebels imprisoned at Colon, and, placing them aboard a steamer, carried them out into the bay, where the entire 100 were thrown overboard and drowned."

Spring trade is declared to be a fortnight late evt n where ths demand is most active. Ihe industrial situ­ ation is practically unchanged, ex­ cept for the strike of 1,503 flax- spinners at Paterson, N. J. The iron and steel tr ides are unchanged. Thare is no material increase in the demand for pig iron, and the competit'on between the mills renders nominal quotations subject to reductions. Orders for steel rai!s are light, and prices are now es low as over. The total imports of dry goods at New York during tho week were valued at $1,426,000, and the amount thrown on the market is $1,537,000. Two COLORED delegations called at the White House last week and paid their re­ spects to President Cleveland. To the first squad, which came from Virgiuia, the Pres­ ident said: I have listened with much Interest to the words in which yon have addressed me. and I' am glad that you are determined to claim only the rights and privileges of citizens by a proper performance of your duties as such citizens It has been said that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. I des re to remind you of this, and to Bay that tha viuilanca to which 1 refer is based on that thoughtful consideration which induces yon to see and apprehend the things that pertain to your int rests an citizens, and gain a knowledge of these things in your way and without being blindly or cunningly de­ ceived, and when this is fully accomplished tho day will come which I. for one, will be glad to see, when something better thaw raca or color will divide the political action of th^se who are citizens of the United Btates. To a delegation of colored preachers President Cleveland spoko ns fo lows: I am very much pleased to see von here, and am exceedingly gratified with tae' addreis which has just been delivered. I am glau to know that this goodly number represents such H large portion of my fellow-citizens belonging to a particular race. As religious tewhsrs yonr mis­ sion is a most important one and one which can not be ignored and should not be underestima­ ted by the Chief Magistrate of the na­ tion nor by any other person holding otticial place. In the church and in the Hunday-echool are tauirht religion, good morals, honesty, i nd a proper regard for estab­ lished authority, all ot' which are exceedingly necessary to good citizenship. You have seen fit to refer to the Democratic party to which I be­ long. My conception of Democratic principles embrac s equal rights aud privileges to a:l who are citizens of the United State*, and I am clad to know that in ttie endeavor to enforce such a principle I siiall hav * your coniidenc i and sup­ port. 1 am pleased to greet you all and take you by the hand. SEVEK executions aud a lynching took place in the United States tn Friday, April 17. Thomas Samon, the triple murderer, J was swung off at Lacouia, N.

Gp., for a triple murder. Gns Finley was swung otfa t Prestonburg, Ky. Aaron Jones, a convicted murderer, was taken from prison by a mob aad hinged at New Roads, La. New York dispatches of tV.e morning of Sat­ urday, April ltt, reported favorable progress in Gen. Grant's case. The illustrious patient passed Friday in a quiet manner, at times pac­ ing his room, and Buttered no pain in swallow­ ing his food, fie talked freely with members of the family. In contradiction of the statements sent out that the General's malady was not can­ cerous, but only an aggravated sore throat, the doctors want the puiilic to understand that "he is suffering from epithelial cancer of a malignant form, and incurable. There cannot be- the slightest doubt of this. Aside from tlie many diagnoses that have been made, the p-ogress and symptoms of the disease have been practically in the line marked out by the highest medical science for its development. No", a physician or cxpart who lia« been con­ nected with the case has differed from his ool» leagues in the resul ts of his investigation."

VOAV FENN had an interview with Secretary Lamar, The substance of the interview was as fol­ low s : Capt. Couch gave a history of the Oklahoma question, and the view which he and tbs Western people generally take of it. The Secretary took the view that the clause in the treaty setting this land aside for freedmen and friendly Indinns created a trust which made it in­ cumbent upon the Government to preserve it in that status until such time as Con­ gress ni ght make another disposition of it This point was discussed at length. Tho decisions of the courts for and against this position were quoted. Capt. Couch and Mr. CAPT. w. I* couca. Clarke understand from what Lamar said on this point that the position of the ad­ ministration is that it is not subject to im­ mediate settlement under the land Jaws% The question of the occupancy of Okla­ homa by the cattle men was then raised. Capt. Couch informed the Secretary of the location of the ranches, the amount of land occupied, and the names of the Eersons occupying it. He also told Mr. amar that the cattlemen wi re allowed to pass by the military on a pass from any of the cattle kings, and that anybody connect­ ed with the cattle companies was allowed to pass in and out of the Territory without question. Capt. Couch said that the settlers thought that if they were to be excluded because the administration took the view that these lnnds were not open to settle­ ment, it was right and just that the cattle­ men. who are not only upon the Ok'ahoma lands, but are occupying the surrounding Indian country under' illegal leases, should also be ejected. Mr. Lamar replied that they would be ejected: that all the cattle syndicates would be ejected. He said: "I agree with you on that, gentlemen." He also affirmed that his feelings were all with the settlers, but that on this one paint of law as to the land3 being ope:i to settlement now he did not agree with them. As to the question of the appointment of a commission to negotiate with the Indians, fhe Secretary said that the administration would take early action upon it. He said, "Gentle­ men. you miy consider the administration a little slow, but we intend to meet all these questions, aud I think we shall meet them in a way which will be generally satisfac­ tory to your people." , Capt Couch sent the following: Col. E. S. Wilcox. Arkansas City. Km.; , Had a long interview with LadtfV; He is earnestly considering all questions in­ volved. He will investigate fully and de­ cide sooib I am satisfied the Secretary will do what he thinks is right. One tking is certain: The cattle syndicates will not be allowed to remain under any circum­ stances. W. L. COUCH. BUSSO-BBITISH WAR QUESTION. The statement of Mr. Gladstone in the House of Commons shows that the ques­ tion of war between England and Russia hangs upon the accuracy of Gen. Koma- roflf s official report of his recent encounter with the Afghans. That the reader may have a clear understanding of the point at issue it is necessary to refer to the Kussian state­ ment. In his dispatch to the Govern­ ment Gen. Komaroff states that the 25th of March as he approached Dashkapri he came upon an Afghan intrenchment, and to avoid a conflict stationed his forces three miles away from their position. The next day he commenced negotiations with the English officers who wore with the Afghans. The latter, finding that they were not at­ tacked, daily drew nearer to the Russians, until UM> 2ttth Gen. Komaroff notified them FORE1CKV. A LONDON cablegram says: "Mr. Glad­ stone's apparent hesitation over the Koshk River affair has emboldened Russia, and she is now taking her turn in demanding explanations and withdrawals. The report is confirmed thatM. de Giers has demanded ad explanation of the presence of Capt. THE MARKETS. NEW YORK. BEEVBS....... (6.09 & 7.80 Hoos..,..vi.. 5.00 » 5.50 WHEAT--So.

KOMAKOFF. to evacuate the left bank of the Kooshk, which they were occupying contrary to agreement. This they re-fused to do, upon the advice, as they averred, of the English officers. Gen. Komaroff then moved toward them, hoping that they would retire, bu^ instead of that they opened tire ou him nnd compelled him to accept combat, the res'alt of which is known. It is sufficient to say that the Afghans went back in a hurry. If this statement is correct the Ilussians were clearly in the right and were justified in driving the Afghans back; and it is on the correctness of this statement that the war question now hangs. The reports thus fa<- received from the English nnd Russian officers are conflict­ ing. In order to get at the facts from an official source the English Gov­ ernment has telegraphed Gen. KomaroiTs statement to Sir Peter Lumsden, with in­ structions to make his report as early as possible and to inform the Government as to the correctness of the Russian General's •statement. Pending the receipt of an answer, of course, no action will be taken. Tho Fruit Crop.

Every­ thing within (he power of loyalists to do was done to make the reception of the royal visitors a success, and th 3 managers of the demonstra ion remained up most of the past n;gbt to make sure of their arrange­ ments. When the Prince and Princess emerged from the railway station after their arrival in the city they were greeted with cheer after cheer. During their progress in the parade, workmen aud boys ran along­ side their carriage and kept up their cheering to drown the hissing of the nationalists, who lined the entiie route and made continued hostile demonstrations. The conduct of the leaguers aroused the loyalists to a hkh pitch of enthusiasm, and they made the streets echo with shouts of welcome. The wonder is ihera was no violent broach of the peace dnring the royal progress, for it proceeded amid a continual warfare of words and taunts between the loyalists and the nationalists, whose numbers we:e about eqnally divided. A nationalist threw an onion at the rojal carnage. The vegetable struck1 one of the foot­ men with considerable force, and many stones were thrown by roughs at the people who followed and cheered the royal carriage, and the police several times fired at the roughs. J. O'Connor, Nationalist, member of Parliament fol- Tipperary, marched at the head of a procession of Leaguers, who closely followed the royal procession and sang "God Save Ireland" every time the Loyalists or their bands started up "God Save the Queen," or "God Save ihe Prince of Wales." The Prince of Wales displayed some feeling when he replied to the address of welcome presented by the Magistrates of Cork. He said he was glad to hear the ex* I>ression of loyalty to the British Constitu­ tion and to the Queen which the address contained, and hoped that every person possessing influence in Ireland would exert it to avoid dissensions, which would inter­ fere with tho object and progress of his present tour through the country and unite to promote the real weifare of the Irish people. Immediately after (he proc?ssion was over a meeting of the Cork National League was held. The meeting declared that the loyalist attempt to get up a fictitious demon­ stration of welcome in honor of royalty had proved a failure, and passed a resolution congratulating John O'Connor, who man­ aged the hostile demonstrations, for the victory he had achieved for the Nationalist cause. The latest London newspapers con­ taining accounts of the royal progress were burned in a bonfire. After the mass meeting the Nationalist)! scattered through the city in parties num­ ber ng from fifty to five hundred med, Doors and windows were smashed, flags and decorations were torn down and heaped npon bUzing bonfires, and many gun stores weie broken into for the purpose of arming tbe mob. Policemen, when encountered sing'y or in small squads, were attacked and beaten unmercifully with their own trun­ cheons. In many cases the police rallied and charged desperately upon the mob, but they were invariably surrounded and re­ pulsed. The police then resorted to a free use of their revolvers and bayonets. It was hand-to-hand fighting of the most desperate sort, the police stand­ ing back and receiving and inflicting terrible injuries. At midnight the streets were piaedcally in possession of the mob. The policemen who remained uninjured could not attempt to do more than maintain their positions and tight oft the defensive. In addition to attacks from the crowds in the streets, the police were exposed to murderous volleys of stonel from windows, housetops, and other points of vantage. The hospitals ai e full of in­ jured policemen and rioters. Ptotraita flkatches of Eons oi ftwMnt Cleveland's • Apponteea. ^JSdwsrd J. Phelps, the newly appointee!

There most be added to this another fact of two Russian men-of-war is the Sues Canal being ordered to Vladlvostock, with directions to avoid British ports. A dispatch from Berlin states that Bossla re­ fuses to yield an inch at the territory she has occupied on the Afghan frontier. Gen. Komaroff's attack on the Afghans is re­ garded in every capital of Europe as an act ot war. In no well-informed quarter here or abroad is there any but the fainest hope of peace. _____ Gen. KomaroiTs Report. The Official Mentetiger, ot St. Petersburg, publishes the following telegram from Oen. Komaroff, dated April 1: "On the i»sth of March our deta hment approached Dashkapri. When near tbe bridge we saw an Intrenchment occu­ pied by Afghans. In order to avoid a < ontlict 1 stationed my troops five ver.-ts (a little over, three miles) from the Afghan position. Negoti­ ations with Capt. Yate (a member of Sir Peter Lumsden's force) commenced on the26th. When the Afghans became convinced that we had no Intention of attacking them they daily drew nearer to onr camp. On the 27th they dispatched against a company of ours covering a reconnoiterins party three companies with a nun and some cavalry. Next day, their audacity and arrogance increasing, thav occu­ pied a hi th and commanding position on the left flank of our camp, made intrenchniente, and placed a cavalry post in the rear of our line and a picket within gunshot of our fort. On the i9ih 1 sent the At urban commander an energetic summons to evacuate the lett bank of the Kushk, and the right bank of the Murghab as far as the mouth of the Kushk. He replied that, acting on the advice of the En­ glish, he would not retire beyond the Kushk. I then sent him a private letter couched in amiable terms. On the :;oth, in or­ der to support my demand. I marohed with my detachment against the Af ghan position, still expecting a paci?.c issue, but fire Irotn the Af­ ghan artillery and an attack of their cavalry compelled me to accept a combat." The St. Petersbmg Journal says~ that the foregoing statement leaves no question of Rus­ sian agirression; that, moreover. Sir Peter Lumsden's second cilnpatch to the British Gov­ ernment justified Gen. Komaroff's action, and that even Mr. Gladstone has shown a praise­ worthy anxiety to atone for the ungracious words about Russia which first escaped him. Another y.ertilon of the Conflict. . FSt. Petersburg dispatch. 1 ' A rumor is current that the conflict between tbe Russians and Afghans arcs- in the follow­ ing way: Home ot the Knglivh officers stationed at the Afghan outposts invited some Kussian officers on the other side to breakfast. The Russians were unable to accept the invitation, but they sent nn invitation to the En-dish ofticers. The latter accepted and staid in the Russian camp until late at night and then asked lor an escort. Gen. Koma­ roff disguised some of his ollicers as privates to accompany the escort with the object of obtaining news of the Afghan forces. When the escort arrival at the Afghan camp rne of the liussians was ibscrvel taking notes in his pocket-book. The Afghans tiierl to take away the brok, a struggle ensued, and a shot was fired, from which side is not known. The Rus­ sians hurried iwclt ta thiir camp, when their troop* were called to arms, and weie advanced aga nst the Af ghans the next morning. Gen. Komaroff is already called the conqueror of the Afghans. Everyone is e ated at his suc­ cess, and considers the affair a reverse for England.
