Victoria Reported to Have Asked the Grand Ola Man to Btay—Cab inet Making, GLADSTONE'S COUP D'ETAT, PLEASED WITH HIS EFFORTS, Special Telegram to The Brk, New Yonrk, June 14,—Mr, Smalley cables to the Tribune from London saying: “‘There 1 evidence that the defeat of the government on Monday was pre arranged, but there in abundant evidence that the efforts to avert it were slight, and tho satisfaction of the minis.’ ters, when it was accomplished, was intense. Till near midnight on Monday the liberals ex- pected a small majority on the budget, Tory whips had made extraordinary efforts to get their men up but only when they discovered the number of liberal absentees did the vie. tory seem possible, ““Two facts are decisive as to the attitude of the ministry, They were warned at mid- night that defeat was probable and urged to move an adjournment of the debate but re fused, though both Sir Charles Dilke and Mr. Gladstone declared the question to be one of life or death. Once beaten, the ministers of all sections of the cabinet mads no _secret of their delight at the defeat and the decision at uesday’s meeting that the cabinet should re unanimous, The budget was hardly more than a pretext for what happened. 1t was an unpopular budget, but it could have been carried if the ministry or party had been united on other questions. *‘Nor, bu for the ocner troubles, would the mere necessity for re-urravging the duties on beer and spirits have caused the collapse. Many liberals staid away frcm disgust at the condition of affairs abroad, but the final reason for the events of Monday night and the resignation of the cabinet on Tuesday was the probability that the ministry would go to pleces on the crimes act. G ladstone, In an- nouncing his resignation to the «ueen, based it on thebudget. The queen, wot deemmg the accession of her friends, the tories, now opportune in their interest telegraphed him urging his withdrawai of the rosignation, Mr. Gladstone replied that it would be useless to witndraw it as nothing wanld induce some of his colleagues to resume office. It would be Impoesible to form a min istry without them capable of commanding a ‘majority of - the commovs, The queon there- upon sent for the Marquis of Salisbury. His friends say he is reluctant to take tho office as he considars tho ultimate effect of an immediate acces:ion of the tories to office as likely to be disas- trous. He will, however, attempt to form o cabinet. “The numerous lists of the incomiog min. istry in circulation are all pure guess.worls. Continental critics diecuss the situation terms of bewilderment ~Statesmen abroad would regard Lord Salisbury’s accession as & signal for the dissolution of the present Earopean’concert against England if they be- lieved his ministry likely to be permanent. TRufsia is thoroughly alarmed snd Ruseian agents now admit tho mistake of protracting negotiattons on minor points, The whole questionimay now be ‘reopencd though it 18 understood Salisbury intends to surpriso the country by a policy of prudence, The liberal ministers, in spite of these many formidable obstacles, persist regarding the formaticn of a Salisbury cabi net as certain and all aro packing up, begin- ning with Gladstone, who has already taken a house at Richmond torrace. The whole of next week will likely bo consumed with cabt net making.” GLADSTONE'S FAREWELL, HR RETIRES AMID THUNDERS OF AP PLAUSE, Special Telegram to the Bex. New Yorg, June 13,—The Sun’s cablegram from London, says: Tho scenes in the house of commons last night when Mr, Gladstone announced the re- tirement of his ministry were the most extra- ordinary that have been witnessed in St. Stephons Hall for many years, The attend- ance and excitement have not been equalled for generations. Every foot of sittiog and standing room was crowded and some of the membors suddenly doeveloped arboreal traits that would have delighted Darwin, climbing into high fplaces, like boys, swarming upon lamp posts to witness the street shows, Tho crowds in_the houso overflowed into the palace yard and thawhole of the Westmins- ter district was filled with excited groups of men of all parties, who cheered or hooted every notable member according to his poli tics, Cheering reached the climax when Gladstona made his appearance in the house, Not a fow of the conservative members joined in the applause, being apparently carried away by the iufectious enthusiasm of ‘the moment, and the visitors seomed to be Gladstonian to aman, Theapplause seemed very grateful to the retlring premier and he deliberately nursued it by standing 1n his place and bow ing to right and loft, as the greater volume of sounds seemed to come from this or that di rection, When he spoke at last it was to make the announcement plainly and unequiv- ocally that the queen had telegraphed her acceptance of his resignation and of thoee of his colleagues the cabinot, The premier was pale and hoarse, but he spoke firmly and with a more cheerful air than he has had at any time nince Monday, His friends "y that he is foeling remarkably well; that the ending of the suspence by the queen's acceptance of his resignation has had o wonderfully salutary «ffect, and that aftera short rest at Hawarden castlo he will rejoin his wonderful abi leader of the opposition. THE WEEKLY REVIEW, ISSUES IN THE OLD WORLD, Loxnox, June 13, —The queen, it is eaid, is delighted over Gladstone’s downfall, The Parnellites, who accomplished his overthrov: +70 going to encounter the hardest times they have ever had. The marquis of Salisbury everybody beglus to see, lacks self-confidence. e has beeu bold, but never far-sighted as & loader of the opposition, but the very moment the Gladetone ministry resigned,” Marquis Salisbury becamo a supplicant for public help and vowed he would not take power unles the liberals “gave his governmens a show,” Glad- stoue never asked a “‘show" from anybody, VICTORIA HAFPY IN THE DOWNFALL. The queen could not conceal her satisiaction over the change of politics, She never liked Gladstone, He way too superior to her. Etiquette could not flatter him snd he was impatient as a state servant of the throne. Her majesty was so elated over the prospect of sgain haviog tory and aristocrat st the bead of affairs that she tele graphed her ncceptaucs of Gladstoues resig Sation and by wire summoned the Marquis of Salisbury to Balmoral to aseume the trust of forming new government, SALISBUBY'S PLAN3 AND OFPORTUNITIES, 1t is understood the Marquis of Salisbury will refraiwfrom the work of formivg a new cabinet until he hus held a couference with all conservative leaders, Siogular as it may ‘appear to foreiguers, the chief political interest of Eugland just uow does not seem to be in the constitution of the now ministry but principally in the forsiga policy, and secondly 10 the Liish policy of the conservative govess ment. special in PARNELL'S PERIL, Parnel) must cortainly have the measure of his ambition nearly filled. He has succeeded in making the affairs of Ireland the most im portant subject for British interest after Eng. [ieh forsign sfiss, When the Iewh members on Monday night threw their votes with the tories aud wrought the ruin of the ministry, that gave to Ireland disestablisnment and the land mact, they jumped upon their reats hurrahed. They were then_certain tnat the tories, lifted into power by Irish help, would at once *‘Parnellizs” the government, but the tories having recovered from their first excite- ment, appear to attribule Gladstone’s defeat not to his harshness toward Ireland, but to the loss of the liberal votea drawn from him by disgust at his submission to ““Irish bull dozing.” Now ‘“this disgusted liberal vote” is far larger than the home rule vote, The tories know that they are wise in their duty and generation. They are playing for tho Iarger vote and the Irish are going to get left. The conservative party is largely con- trclled by the prevalent opinion of tory clube. The Carleton and other leading tory clubs all favor the opinion advocated by Earl Spencer, Irish viceroy ; that there is an ab- solute necessity for a continuance of the co- ercioa policy in Ireland. On this point the tories and & majority of the liberals will agree, and on it they may combine against the rad~ icals and Parnellites, If they do the home rulers will bs in such a pitable minority that their voico will count for nothing in patlia- ment, and a long lease of life will be secured lfur ‘;.ha present mode of English rule in Ire- and, SALSBURY'S IRISH POLICY, It is not believed that the marquis of Salis bury will seek assistance from any of Glad- stone's ministers. In forming his policy toward Treland his plan will be to split the liberal party completely by proposing & meas- ure of coercion, based on Karl Spencer's re- ports—a mensure the same aa the Marquis of Hartington, Gladstone's war minister, and a ‘majority of Gladstone’s cabinetinsisted oncon tinuiog in spite of the opposition of Dilke, Chamberlain, and Trevelyn, Such a line of Irish policy wonld be most certain to lead to at least a temporary coalition between the moderate liberals and the tories against the radicals and Parnellites, and give the new government a tremendous majority.” WHAT CAN TRELAND ATTEMPT? 1t would be hord to guess what would become of the Irish homo rule under a government whose very start was based on & determina- tion to maintain coercion in Ireland, NORTHCOTE IEGINS TO SCHEME, Sir Stafford Nortcote, the tory leader in commons, has already been in consultation with the Irish executive_officials concerning tha real status of affaira in Ireland, and it is understood that nearly every one of these gentlemen has stated that no English govern- ment could afford to be responsible for the government of Ireland during the coming winter without a contiauance of the Irish crimes act, Sir Stafford can easily acquire testimony that will bolster up his inteuvions toward Ireland, CHURCHILL, TRELAND'S ONLY HELP, TLord Randolph Churchill, it may be safely stated, is the only oue of the men likely to form the conservative cabivet who isat all likely to advocate the abolition of coercion, His influence will b far less with his party when it is in power than it appeared to be when he was an oppoeition leader in commons, AS VIEWED AT BALMORAL. Telegrams from Balmoral indicate in con feroncas which have taken place between the queen and the marquis of Salisbury that her majesty has shown that she is concorned most about the foreign policy of her government. In court circles thera is no longer any oonceal- ment of rejoicing over the fallof tne liberal overnment, - Gladstono court officials now admit he was never in harmonv with the queen on any subject, and her majesty and premier disagreed bitterly in all their dis- courses about ngland’s foreign affairs, Glad- stone, it is raid, rarely consulted the queen or informed her of the designs of his government, WHAT VICTORIA FAVORES, In well informed court circles 1t is thought the queen strongly favors the renewal of the Soudan campaign, the retention of Egypt, the settlement of the Anglo.Russian disputes on the basis of the Granville-Griers agreement, a renewal of the alliance with Germany an entente with Turkey and no special culiiva- tion of an entente with France, A _policy embracing all thete principles has all along been approved by all tho parliament officials in the British foreign office, amongat whom the Gladstone regime had become intensely disliked, GLADSTONE'S RETIREMENT FROM PUBLIC. Gladstone’s intimation of a determination to retire from public life has for the present utterly disorganized the liberal srrangements for the coming electoral struggle. A desper- ate effort has been made to secure from him a number of engagements to make campaign speeches dariog the ensuing election, The only engagement admittea by Gladstone is one for Midlothian, In a recent letter de- clining a request for a speech the premier states that he has givea a verbal promite to bis political agents in Midlothean that he will not retire without addressing that (his present) constituency. THE LIBERALS IN TROUBLE, Liberal election ogents generally re- port groat difficulty in gZobtainiog ~ can- didates to contest seats in all precincts on the liberal platform. Radical candidates are, however, reported to be plenty. The Birm- ingham liberal caucus has adopted in its pro- gramme for the campalgn the proposals by the recent miners parliamentary conference, The roosals call for reformation of the house of [ovda by the exclusion of birhops from seata, and by a specific limit to the power of peers to delsy or prevent necessary legislation, RICHNESS OF CAPE COLONY. Earl Derby, colonial minister in the cabinet of Gladstone, in an official communication to the government of Cape Colony, has intimated his approval of the action of Gon, Sir Charles Warren in the sunexation of Bechuanas, The expansion of the Oape Colony incites interest in England, and is_subordinate only to the resignation of the Gladstone cabinet, and this interess is made even greater by the glowing description being published of the capacities and possibilities of the new territory. Loodon Times, in an article describing Be chuaoas, says: “In Bterritorial _extent it is much greater than Spain, It is well proportioned with wood, contains the st pasturo land in South Africs, and will grow everything,” says enthusiastic iters, from wheat to oranges and the finest graper, it will furnish besides many thousands of farms for settlers, The Spectator is alarmed apparently at the possible outcome of this annexation of terri- tory aud comments at some length upon the subject says: “In same week Kogland as | eumes a protectorate over the lower Niger and sncexed the vast province of Bechuauas, Can anyibiog be said now about the rapacity of Germany in wantipg the territory of the sultan ef Nitu, or of France in claiming the Congo country. The government of (the Trausyaal republic is incensed 3 the annexa tion of Bechuanas to Cape Colony and will seek an alliance with the tribes in Maschuana, the land just north of Bechuanas land, and will try to ferment war with Eogland in the hope that Bechusnas may be reclaimed to the Transyaal territory, BALISBURY ACOEPTS THE OFFICK, LoNboN, June 14,—The Marquis of Salis- bury spent Sunday at Hatiield, Upon his rival at London to day he will at once pro- coed to form a ministry. He has decided to form & conservative miuistry and is in achive negotiations with Sir Stafford Northcote, the duke of Richmond, and Lord Rowland, - Mr. Rowland was o member of parlisn:ent for Lincolushire and Mr. Edward Staohope a member of parliament for Mid- Lincolushire, Lord Salisbury will come to London to-mox- row, when thoe consaltation of the leading merber of the copservative party will be e GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS, A TBAIN UBEAKS DOWN.

AT GRANT'S BED SIDE [ncideits Of the Iliness Illus'rati ofve tue General’s Character, Doctor's bills that Ran Far Up Into the Thousands. The General's Confidence In Bis ¥hy. siclans Excused with a Com- parision—Precantions, THE STRICKEN HERO, INCIDENTS OF HIS BRDSIDE. Special Telegram to The BrE, New York, Juns 14,--Throughout his ill ness (ten, Grant has exhibited those traits of character for which he has been noted, He has been patient, plucky, strong in pain, and n true to his many incidents. Dr, Doug- las, who has been very faithful to the peneral to great detriment of his practice, has slept every night in the house, and does so eyen now, although there is no sign of immediate danger to his patient. This case, however, is one of those on which a change for the worse, and even death, might come without warning and it is important for him to have some one at hand who has experiencs and abil- ity. The general has perfect confi dence in his physicians and s as passive in their hands as a child Te takes great interest in the pathology of s diseace and discusses it freely, Dr, Doug- Iae, the active physician in charge, 18 at the house every day. His attention 1 not solely of a profeessional kind, for he has formed a res] sffection for his patient which is entirely reciprecated, He treats the general with dis tinguished consideration and is extremely careful of his feelings, Notwithstanding this, the generalis convinced that he will never get well, Col. Grant knows it likewise. Since the Iate favorable changein her hus- band’s condition Mrs, Grant entertains hope of his full restoration to health, The general himself said, on vhe nif{ht of his great trial, “let me dio,” but since he has grown stronger he longs for his health, although wearily shak- ng his head whea asked about hisrecovery, ’}t is recounted that once durivg his illness tho general imagined himself in command of his oid army again. He arose, stood up and looked back as if his men were behind him. He raised his hand asif it bore a eword; *‘Come, now, forward march. Steady!” At that moment he sank back upon his bed as if in great pamn, put his hand quickly to his face and exclaimed, ‘I have been struck on on the cheek by a shell,” When the press was ckarging the physicians with having made a wrong diagnosis the gen- eral never wavered in his confidence in_their skill. Hesaid, “‘the greatest battle I ever won T was placed undes arrest for, It was at Fort Donalson,” ‘When the celebrated eastern bulletin was received in which the general eaid, *‘I wish to be at peace with evéry man,” a scene occurred which ¢hows how littie ha cares for adulation, The general dictated the bulletin and every word was his own. Gen, Badeau was pre.ent and when the last word was written he reached forward, threw his arms around the old hero and exclaimed, ‘‘Dear, dear, gen- eral,” and kissed him twice, Throughout the general remained unmoved. He looked neither to the right nor to the left and uttered not h word. Preyious to this Gen. Badean was sitting on the stairs with his face in his hands and crying Ditterly, ‘‘Why, what's the iratter, general?” asked one who paesed him. Babeau burst out crying and between his eobs said: *'O don’t call me gen- .’,J.‘hare is but one general and he is There are two stories current in regard to the heavy medical bills which ure being in curred by General Grant, Four very costly physicians have been employed almost con- tiLuously during the last six months, A care- ful estimate of the aggreg>te of the tour ac- counts gives $40,000 as the sum, which judging ' by the quality and the quantity ofthe work done by the four doctors must have been demanded at the beginning of the present month Dr, Douglasnow lives in the house, neglecting his other practice altogether, and Drs, Sauds, Shrady and Barker$ have averaged a call per day, counting in the days which they have devoted entirely to this case, All are epecial- ists, accustomed to large fees, The suggestion that they are content to accept the incidental advertising in_lieu of cash remuneration is not tepable because the job has not on the whole made a good _reputation for the two whosestatus could not be raised by connec: tion with a celebrated person, One story is that George W, Childs has paid the bills, Ho was here about the 1st of June and was a visitor at the Grant house. His intimacy with the general is well-known and his liber- ality is proverbial, Childs has since declined tolstats whether he met amy or all of the medical expenses, . The second explanation is that the phyei cians have taken in payment orders on Wet ster and company, the firm which is to pub- lish Grant's book, The income from_that sourcs bound to be large, Mark The | f Twain, & member of Webster & Co., says that hé does not personally know of any such arrangement. But that his assout or that of his partner would not be essential, It is cor- tain that the gencral's present resources yield only $27,000 a year, which would barely cover the ordinary oxpenses of his household, leav- ing nothing for such immense doctor bills as must have heen now rendered, The reason why Dr. Douglass is kept on guard night and day is the patient’s expecta: tion that ha will eventually choke to death and ho wishos to have expert help st hand. While ho sleeps sitting in o chair, unable to lie down or an hour, Dr. Douglas occupics a bed in an adjoining room with a bell 80 hung that apull by u cord at Grant's haod. will awaken him, This precaution is 1n addition to the watching of an attendant, Nrw YORK, June18 —After Doctors Douge las, Bhrady and Sands had held their usual Sunday consultation at (ieneral Grant’s house to-day Dr, Douglas eaid that the general had suffered somo little disturbance durivg last night, the cause of which was attributed to eating some usparagus but that ho slept with little break from 1 a m. to 5 'a m. and was not_ suffering to-day, though feeling the heat. Dr, Shrady #aid that the swelling on the outslde of the throat had increased, and had affected the ps- tient’s voice, - Col. ¥'red Girant, after the con sultation, eaid that his father had a bad night, that the general was growing wesker, and that his coudition now seems to be one of in creasing indebility without pain, The colo- nel added that if possible the general would be removed from the city on Tue:dny next, one week ear.ier than before intended, GEN, GRANT'S TROPHIES, SECRETABY ENDI OTT SELECTING A PLACE FOR THEIR EXHIBITION, Special Telegram to The Bk, ‘WasaiNaron, June 14.—Ths question of what shall be done with the Grant trophies is bothering Secretary Endicott, The breeches and semi buttonless vest of George Washing ton, together with his camp utensils, tent rocking chair and crockery, are now perma- nently gathered under » show case glass ag the nationsl museum, For a time they wero ecattered about, some in the patent oifics, sowe in the war department and others in the Smithsoaian buildiog.

WaSHINGTON, June 14,—It is well known that the fund for tho payment of United States marshals is very low. There will be none until July 1st, the begin- ning of the fiscal year, when the legislative executive and judicial appropriations become operative. The marshals who have been re- cently appeinted have shown no eager desire to enter ther offices, They would rather walt until they can get some money. There- fore they have in a number of instances, failed to take the oath of office, One of the most prominent of the appointees did not know what he wss bringing upon himself. Not taking the oath the republican whom he will supercede sent to the department of justice a requision for a small sum of money, Attorney-General Garland upon seemng the requisition telegraphed to the new man who ad not assumed his dutiee: “I want your oath of office.” In about four hours he’ re- ceived the following reply: “I have just mailed my oath of office and will enter upon my duties immediately.” ————— Another Mill jAccedes.

The total number was 22,308 for the period of eleven hours— about 2,000 an hour, 33 a mirute, or one every two seconds. The largest number of any one kind of vehicles was of single and double tracke, 7,584; the smallest number was 2; these were ambulances, There were 3,300 single and double express wagons," The 2,210 s'ages and the 1,022 cabs were next In order of quantity, peddlers wagons numbering 938, produce w7 1+ 440, rag trucks 370, carrlages 354, coal carts 924, and venders' wagons 300, Then there was & drop to hacks, 285, and butcher wagons 223, The varlety of vehicles was striking, there having bzen elghty kinds accord- ing to the schedule.

Special Telegram to The Bxk. Niw YORk, June 14 —In spite of the most gloomycrop reports, wheat at New York has declined 1}c on the week, The difficulties against which the bulls contend are imme diate, acd the near by thing usually makes the prices, The London correspondent of Bradstreet's writes as follows under date ef May 28: &It is useless to refer in detail to the grain trade, for there is nome worth mentioning, Business has been protty well prostrated since the prospect of peace seemed to be nssured. Heuv{ losses have been suffered by those who speculated in wheat and oats, especially m the Iatter tain, of which some merchants bought very extensively when war runiors wero flying about, The re- ported injury to crops in Burope generally and the unfavorable prospects of the Ameri oan wheat harvest fail to produca any ap- preciable effect. Buyers look at theenormous quantity of wheat afloat or shipping and ignore the crop reports,” . Under the presont conditions tha probabili- ties a8 to the Indian corn crop must be re- garded as a very important factor in deter- wmining the near future of wheat, If we are to have a big corn crop it will go far to keep down wheat, The effect of an increase of 500,000 bushels in the visible supply of wheat last week was re-enforced to-day by confident predictions of a farther increase this week. It hns been pointed out how the country 18 threatened with low prices for wheat and a emall crop, ~ Advices trom St. Paul are favor- able as regards nprin;i wheat, and San Fran- cisco telegeaphs that light rains have benefit- od late wheat and a better yield is promised. The last number of the London Miller at hand hand has the followin, ““To a certain extent 1855 is tho first year when harvest probabilities do not exceed the requirements, It is, in fact, the first check to the advance of area in America while low prices are in themeelves a check to produc- tion throughout the country, Even India cannot grow and sell wheat in Loudon at the terms forced upon the trade in 1884-85, Ax m the United Kingdom 400 to 450 is the range below which wheat cultivation is not rocognized as profitable; 50 in America and India.” The condition of the rye crop inCentral Eu- rope is attracting much attention. as it forms the staple food there, The plant has been touched by frost in north Germany and is yel- low, Some damage is also feared to the grain in Austria, where the weather has been unfa. vorable. The best information in London re- garding wheat growing in exceptionally favor- able circumstances is that India cannot com- te with America in the wheat export trade. t appears that whe goveinment railway sys- tem is an annual burden on the people of In- dia of £47,000,000. A cry of ‘India for the Indians’ is promised in the near future, The situation on the New York stock ex- change is no_better than Lefore, Railway manngers are kard preesed for a way out of the difticulties, The bank statement tor the week shows a further congestion of money. At New York the surplus revenue over the 25 per cent re- quired by law is 61,979,000, ks 'argest ever known. The terdency of money is still to move from New York to the west, New York exchange having been at a premium all the week both at Ohicago ard St. Louis. ‘Transactions in wool 1re light, manufactur- ers being inclined to await developmnnts be fore bnyinq’.
