New York, 1.-The Sunday Iffbiae'S
London: The first panic aUout Afghan
istsn has subsided, but it has been sue
eeeded by q settled anxiety as to the tina
result Of the policy of the msd adventure
Unlisted by Lord Beaconsfeld, of which
this esta. trOphe is one incident. Only
three days befJre the news of GeneTsl
| Burrows defeat, Lord harrington wa
announcing In the House of Common
that steps had been taken for withdraw
ing fOm Aighanisian Everybody nov
| sgrees that The Withdrawal is st presen
impossible. Those who know India pes
take the most gloomy view of the i'm
mediate future, political and financial
Every calculation is unset; The Engl-I
budget next year is ce tain to feel the e.
feet of the Iudian disturbances, since b.
limit of impOsitions ia India was long
silce reached. Members of the IEdia'
council admit it 10 be impossible to con
linue to maintain the army of 90 COO meT
in Afghanistan without hip and tn
English trc sury. Tee tories have been
proving their disinterested patriotism By
asserting publicly that the disaster was
due % the Generalization among the
troops on account of Gisd.tone's attem Of
TO reverse Beaconsield's plans snd 10 the
same end quoting the igneran. comments
of the resclionary continental press,
which hais the Engli b difficulties IN
India as likely TO interrupt the coercion
of Turkey.
The Turkish note refusing compliance
viii European demands produces abso-
lutely no change in the European con-
cert, it having been foreseen, the only
question at present discussed among the
powers relates TO the means Of sigi flying
to Turkey tue necessity of submission.
In home sffairs the government wins
signal triumph by the passage Of the
game bill. The tory opposition, hereto
fore confident and menscing, collapsed
utterly at the last moment, d scovering
numerous members of their own party
who refused to vote sgainst the second
reading of the bill, hence there was 10
division last night
Dublin, 1.-Two land meetings were
held here On Saturday. The corn ard |
roCt crops of Ireland promise more than |
an average yield, and the general aspect |
Of the country is cheering.
London, 2.-The Standard reports |
Lhst el90,000 in gold have been pur-
chased in open market for export to
America
Mr.. Plimsol has consented 10 contest |
Liverpool for seat in Parliament.
The Empress arrival was seized upon |
rs an occasion for q demonstration by |
Bonapartist sympsthizers. Their success
bore no proportion to the efforts made 10
lrouse tagging sentiment. The EN-
press was received by a small number of
PERSONAL adherents. The public held |
Iloof General Evelyn Woods new and
highly colored account of the circum-
tances of the Prince Imperisl's death |
ell rather fat. No BonApartist party
worth counting now exists in England.
London. I'm the House of Lords,
his evening, the Earl of Kimberly an
lounced that Sir Bartle Frere had been
ecalled from the governorship Of the
cape of Good Hope. There never existed
between the government and Sir Barte
Frere the harmony essential for public
interest.

Gladstone Seriously Ill.

London, 1.-Mr. Gladstone caught a
chill after lesving the House of Com
mons on Friday, and is row suffering
from congestion of the left lung. The
latest bulletin, issued on Sunday evening,
says his condition is less favorable, owing
TO slight fever, but thst he is in no i'm
mediate danger. The Queen telegraphed
to ascertain his condition.
The Times, this morning, says: The
public will learn. with much regret, that
Mr.. Gladstone is somewhat seriously in
disposed and may be unable to attend to
public business for some time.
New York, 2.-Nearly all the Journals
deplore the illRess of Gladstone, who /:
in his list year, as the disease which ha!
attacked him is generally fatal 10 younger
men.
London, Mrs. Gladstone writes
from Downing street, as follows: Sil
William Jenner, physician TO the Queen
has been summoned and will be here a
SPIN. Until then no fresh report o
Gladstone's condition can be giTsn.
DR.. Andrew Clark, who passed th'
night at Premier Gladstone's house
reports that Gladstone is rather better
but his febIile state continues.
There have been numerous callers a
the house since Z o'clock this morning
Policemen have been stationed at thr
end Of Downing street from sn early hour

Tanner Still Alive.

New York, DIR. Tanner, at a late
hour on Saturday night, was sleeping
quietly.
at noon, Sunday, DIR. Tanner entered
on The thirty-ffth day Of his fast He
slept well the previous night, and ap-
pesred refreshed in the morning. He
kept to the gallery all day, and wss at
tackled with n useau and vomiting a.
different periods, throwing up mixture
of bile and mucous. At as his pulse
was found to be 70, his temperature 9S4,
and the dynamometer marked 81 kilo-
metres. ATS he got up ID put on his
clothes, but could not do 50, as he had
an attack of vomiting. at $50 and $40
this evening he hsd attacks eff vomiting,
and at 9 pm retired to his cot and ap-
pesred to be sleeping. His medical at
PENDANTS said he was in feebler condi-
ton than vest rdsy; that attacks Of nsu-
seau were unfavorable, and, as they
occurred after drinking small quantity
OF fluid, it showed the Doctors stomach
to be in q highly irritated condition.
One of the medical men said DR.. Tanner
wss failing every day, but there was no
doubt he would finish his self-imposed
task. He thought the frequent attacks of
vomiting showed that the coats of the
stomach were somewhat inhamed. DR..
Tanner took nothing to-day but little
carbonated acid water.
New York, 2.-For the first lime since
be commenced the fast DR.. Tanner ad
mitted this morning that he felt very
weak snd that his stomach was in bad
condition, but expressed confidence In
his ability to accomplish the undertaking.
His eyes were lustreless, tongue furred
and face pinched and haggsrd. Still his
watchers asserted he had somewhat i'm
proved since Sunday. He had suffered
from nausea three times since midnight.
Small quantities of mineral water were
administered during the night and early
morning. Before going on his custom
AIRY drive he swallowed two ounces OF
very hot water; at noon he was quietly
resting.
He received the 70 lowing cable dis
patch from Paris: "Don waste strength
driving out; shut off all spectator; have
only your doctors and attendants. Your
experiment is watched here with great in
terest by scientists and ridiculed by foo :.
The hot weather is against you. Have
courage, brave fellow, and hold on.
Wish you success" Signed by DR.. Mar
son Sims.
Physicians inclined to the opinion thai
the cable was sent by j Marvin Sims,
MD, but DR.. Tanner, who seemed
pleased with it, rather doubted it haC
come from that physician.
