GIadstone's Ministry Abetting Russian
 C0nquests.
 LONDON, May 18.-The effect of the access sion of the Gladstone ministry to power already begins to be apparent abroad. It is well understood that Gladstone is such an admirer of Russia and is so thoroughly on her side in every way that he will not permit any obstacle to be thrown in her path by England. Consequently Russia is now nov ing forward more rapidly than formerly in her schemes of conquest in the far East. It is reported to-day that she is about to send an army corps of 24,O0O men to make 8 demonstration on the Chinese frontier and thus take the first step in the campaign, which, however protected it may be, has for its ultimate purpose the pushing of Russian conquest.
 A Vienna dispatch says it is believed that Russia will abandon the Turcoman expedition and concentrate all her energies on the Russo Chinese frontier. General Skobelef has been ordered to Kuldja.

 Mr. Gillette offered an amendment than an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars be made to set up apparatuses for the manufac- ture of sugar at agricultural fairs to demon strate the practicability of making sugar from corn stems. The amendment was ruled out on point of order made by Mr. Covert.

It was insisted on one hand and denied on the other that the bill gave original jurisdiction that cases that had never been before the Commissioner of Pensions might be brought before the court, and that it therefore opened the door to every man who had served in the army, whether he was under disability or not. The section was finally amended to limit jurisdic- tion to approved cases.

 1 Threatening to Bolt.
 SPRINGFIELD, May 1S.-The State Central
 1 Committee met tonight and decided upon
 Greene B. Raum for temporary chairman of
 the convention. Resolutions were adopted | excluding contested delegates from the floor ! of the convention till their cases are decided | by the committee on credentials. Blaine's l and Washburne's caucus appointed conference | committees with view to united action to- | morrow, adhering to their decision to demand | admission for their whole 92 delegates. It is estimated that over 4, 900 strangers will be in ' the city tomorrow. The Grant men are now I claiming 363 votes aside from Cook county, which is 12S more than majority. Wash burne has sent from Portland to Senator 1 in the convention announcing that he is not candidate and asking his friends to vote for Grant. The Grant people think when this is read the majority of the Washburne men will flock to their standard. The opposition do not present any figures as to their strength in the con- vention and virtually concede majority to the Grantltes They have hopes of overconl- ing this by superior management. The Far well Hall delegation assert their intention to demand admission for their 92 delegates or none They say that insthe event of the con- vention refusing to admit their entire county they will undertake to get up their own convention by force in the hall, failing in which they will bolt and organize their convention in another room. There were rumors of a compromise between Logan and o. B. Farwell the leaders of the two factions, but it could not be traced to reliable source. The Washburne men resent the assertion that they are under Farwells control. The Grant leaders from Chicago say they will have at least 36 of their delegates seated. R. T. Tuthill offered the following resoIu- tions which were adopted
 Whereas, there is contest as to the dele gations from several Senatorial districts in Cook county to the State convention. Whereas, This delegation representing the friends of Grant have confidence in the just ness of our laws as it will be made to appear to the State convention and also in the sense of right and disposition to do straightforward justice, which we believe the State convention will exercise, passing upon and deciding the questions at issue in the contest from Cook county, therefore, Resolved, That we will submit our cause to the State convention, and as true and reliable Republicans we will in good faith abide by it's decision

Changes I'm the Ministry.

PARIS, May Exchanges in the French Ministry continue. The appointment of NJ. Constants to be Minister of the Interior in place of M Lepere, who held the post since March 4, 1879, is to-day officially announced 1; also the appointment of M. Fallieres to be Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, a post held by M. Lepere for two years before his appointment as Minister of Commerce and Agriculture in 1879, is announced.
