The mar- quis of Salisbury's refusal to proceed with the third reading of tha seats bill is interpreted as a notification to liberals that he does aot in tend to part with the power of dissolution till some ministry has been formed.

RUSSIA'S WORD OF WARNING, THE AMEER ADVISED TO GO SLOW, Special Telegram to The Bek.

Mark Twain's Pertility Works Up I Sile, A Rosy 8tory of How the Extracts Were Obtained, The Ocntury People in a Rage and Wanting Money—A Legacy to Mre, Grant, THE HERO'S PEN HOW IT OBTAINED A CHANCE, Special telegram to The Bek, New York, June 21, —At the time when Gen, Grant decided to make a bargain with Mark Twain, principal of the firm of Webster & Co,, to publish his war book, instead of carryiog out the understanding with the Con- tury company that fhey should issue the worlk, the situation was somewhat complicated by the fact that Gen, Grant had already con- tracted to write a cortain number of articles for the Century, The rapid progress of his diseaso rendered it unlikely that he could even complete the book, to say nothing of the other matter and he said that he felt bound to keep his prior engagement before pro- ceeding with the latter, notwithstanding his engernass to leave the book as an income pro ducer for his wife. Under these circum: C a compromise was fixed up by Mark Twain und Roswell Smith, president of the Uentury company, the terms of which were that the articles to be provided for the magazine should appear first in that periodical and then form a part of the forthcoming volume, Under that sgreement a duplicawe copy of those papers 'was given to the ed- itor of the Century to be pub- lished duriog the summer and early fall and to Webster & company forsterotyping and printing in the history which was not to be put on the market uatil winter. A substan- tial frustration of this mutual bargain has come, Webster & company got up an agents dummy or order book, in itself a volume half an inch thick and containing sample chapters and pictures selected from the work for the use of canvassers in soliciting subscriptions, A newapaper reporter called to get informa- tion on the subject aud Webster, who ia a relative of Mark Twain by marriasge, gave to him one of these amall books frem which, of course, he made a comprehensive article, the substance ot which was therefrom telegraphed to the press of tho whole country, Webster declared that he had no idea the reporter would 8o utilizs the ma- terial put into his hande. The Censury folk’s rprise was undoubted and their indignation too, for the published extracts included most of the matter which was to have first bsen soen by their magazine readers, The editors of the book bave demanded & reimbursement of money paid for the con tributions, and if they do not get it there will be a lawsuit for damages, 'I'hey allegod that something exceedingly similar happened a8 to portions of Mar Twain's “Huckleberry Finn,” and this time they want eatisfaction, The inheritanco left by Gen. Grant to his famsly is altogether comprised in his book, aud it 18 pleasant to know that for every dol lar which the adroit publishers make out of it nearly two will go to the Grants. Should the work prove less popular than_anticipated Mark Twain's fortune would suffer a depletion for his confi- dence wa3 sogreat that he made an offer which no regular publisher felt like competing with. Twain says he knows what he is about in is- suing the book by subscription, and 18 making no mistake. All of his own productions have been handled in that way and he believes he has made more mony iu consequence than brotherauthors of even wider fame, His plan is toarrange his business 80 as to have noth- iog else on hand, every and then to bend every enmergy to the one project. He will in this case employ can- vassers by the thousand, begiuning six months before the volumes are ready for delivery. As a matter of fact, all booksellers will get a sup- ply, by hook or by crook, but the agents will assure their victims that the only possible way to obtain Grant’s book is to subscribe in advance. The expectation is that not less than five thousand drummers will go out ‘and if each sells only one book the result will be a biggar sale than the average successful work attams, Gen. Badeau's “Lifa of Grant,” for instance, reached but 8,000, and Cabel’s last novel ex- ceeded that by only one thousand, These are called good figures in the trade. ———— dollars SUNDAY WITH GRANT, T3E OLD HERO WRITES, SALUTES PRIENDS AND LIVES PLEASANTLY, Mouxt Mc(iREGOR, June 21,—*‘Gen, Grant has slept nino hours since ho retired last night.
