specie ResumpIIOn-An Interview with
sherman.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Secretary Sherman
visited Wall street this morning. In o short
interview be said that he believed in the re-
sumption of specie payments at the earliest
possible moment, and with two hundred mill
lion dollars in gold and silver in the treasury,
or thereabOuts, and the surplus continually
increasing there was no reason why the
country could not resume before the end Of
the present year.
The government has promised to redeem
It's notes by the first of January, and it might
as well redeem them earlier"
81 think" added the Secretary, chat specie
payments might be maintained after the
first OF October, but the law provides that re-
sumption shall begin on the first Of January"
will not resumption even at that period,
depress the business interests Of the country
more than at PRESENT.
"No the unsettled State Of finances serves
to depress business; people are looking for re-
sumption and an equalization Of money. The
sooner resumption is an accomplished fact, the
sooner will business revive, and all parties be
benefited.

Increasing Ineaslness over the Danger
of an Grange RlOt.

MONTREAL, July 10.-The Orangemen who
who had intended to come here to assist their
city brethren have decided not to come, owing
to their being assured that the procession
will be protected by the military independent
of the city authorities. Mr.. Mackenzie, the
Premier, has advised the Ontario Orangemen
not to leave home, as their coming can but
increase the difficulty Of their Montreal
brethren.
Last nights troubles have increased the
feeling Of uneasiness and added fresh fuel to
the flames Of excitement The fact OF the
mayor not being in accord with the military
authorities greatly increases the chances of o
collision, as the Irish Catholics now feel that
they are justified in stopping the procession,
for in doing so they would be upholding the

Protests Against the Treaty from Russia,
France and EtRly-Austrla Well sat-
isfied--BIsmarek Playing sphynx.

i IONDoN, June 1O.-NumerOus reports as to
! the probable and possible effect the Anglo
Turkish treaty will have are In circulation.
The following are given as the most credible:
Al complete severance between the Radical
land moderate wings OF the Liberal party Is be-
lieved TO be inevitable, as @ result OF the pro-
eeedngs Of the Berlin congress and the dis
AcIosure Of the English and Turkish treaty.
IL Is understood to-day that immediately
#after Earl BeaconsfieId's return from Berlin
Parliament will be dissolved and general
election ordered.
Some Of the conservatives regard this with
disfavor, on the ground that the government
HAS at present an ample majority, and it Is
Hnot wise to throw away a certainty for an un-
acertainty, nor to put the members to the ex-
gpense of an election for the purpose Of in
Greasing this majority by q few votes; but
Earl Beaconsfeld is said to believe that the
country will be so dazzled and carried away
by the acquisition Of Cyprus and the Asiatic
yprotectorate that the new House will contain
none but his supporters, and ne is said TO have
hinted that certain other things were to be
accomplished In Asia, Tor success In which he
would need the unanimous support OF Par
glfament.
The moderate Liberals in the event of dis
solution would either offer themselves for re-
election or would declare In favor Of BeacOns-
fields foreign policy, 80 far rs 1t has been dis
closed, but the Radicals propose to make @
broad issue against all that has been done at
Berlin, and especially agaist the Anglo-Turk-
ish treaty, and on this point the rupture In
the party will be complete.
Many of the advices from Berlin to-day
report that the diplomatists OF Russia, Italy
and France are in receipt Of instruction from
their respective governments to protest
against the Cyprian treaty in the strongest

contrary. are well satisfied. Prince Bismarck

New YORK, July t0-Hon. Thos. Ewing, of
Ohio, who has been spending brief vacation
in the East, since the adjournment Of Com
gress, said to-day in conversation that In the
coming election Ohio would, no doubt, go
Democratic. The National party was doing
Democracy contained about all the working
men could reasonably ask. The platform
suited the Greenbackers as we'll.
Speaking of the National party movement,
Gen. Ewing remarked that II the Democracy
in other States were SO strongly in favor Of
greenbacks as in Ohio, they might capture q
large portion Of the independent vote. In his
observation he had noticed that the new
party movement was stronger In the East
than in the West.

A Vigorous Campaign In the Far North
west ali that IL Necessary.

WASHINGTON, July 1O-Gen. Sher1dan's
visit to the Black Hills has led to the impress
sion that its principal object is to give his
personal direction to the campaign in the
Indian country. Gen. ColbacOn will accom-.
pany Gen. Sheridan AS military attache, and
report directly to the General A dispatch
from Gen. Sheridan states that he apprehends
no demonstration from Sitting Bulls force
as they are well watched by the Canadian
police and United States troops, who are con-
stantIy apprised of their doinRs.
He thinks that a vigorous campaign in the
far Northwest, resulting In Howard's victory,
will end the war there, and that it will be
succeeded by a season Of peace throughout
the entire Indian country, as no danger there
now threatens from any other direction.

The heat In the California and Consolidated

the demand for ice so great that the consump-
