ply read Gen. Negrier's telegram in refer

GEN. GRANTS DEPOSITION.
It Will be Read in the Fish Trial To-Day
His Condition Yesterday.


His Condition Yesterday.
New YORK. March 26.-Said DR.. Douglas
after his visit to Gen. Grant this evening:
1.-THE general slept continuously until 4
O'Clock this morning and after that fretiully
until z this morning. He took food as usual
to-day. Between 2 and o'clock. Gen. Grant,
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister,
and myself, drove four miles through
the park, one mile less than yesterday. Inc
general rested after his return, though there
was no apparent fatigue from the drive, ana
then his deposition was taken in the case OF
Mr.. Fish. This lasted an hour and there was
no evidence of the generals having
BEEN EXHAUSTED BY THE EXAMINATION.
Heis quite as well tonight as he was last
night, which is remarkably good, because
these two last days have been
extremely depressing to every one. The
generals pulse and temperature tonight are
about as low as they ever were. There is no
particular change in the throat condition.
DR.. Barker was with me to-day and Dr.
Shrady was with me yesterday"
HIS DEPOSITION TAKEN.
In the trial of ex-President Fish of the
day at his residence by consent of the coun-
sci of both parties, before James Horace
Fish. notary public, and the stenographer OF
the court The counsel present were Stephen
G. Clarke and Edwin G. Smith for the de-
feudant. district attorney Eihu Root for
the government and Clarence Il. Seward,
Gen. Grants advisor. There were also
present COL Fred Grant, U. s. Grant, Jr.,
II Dir
when the counsel arrived at the house. The
general had Just returned from a drive
through the park. He took reclining posi-
ton in an armchair aud put his feet up on
another chair as the lawyers began
their questioning. 1t was agreed between
the counsel that the testimony of the witness
be taken subject 10 objections to be stated at
the reading thereof in court tomorrow The
administering of the oath was waived, the
deposition being taken with the same effect
bv consent of the counsel. The generals
memory as to details was defective, but
wherever the counsel seemed particu-
larlv anxious to get an an
answer the witness tried TO connect
an event or date with something else that oc-
Cured about the same time and thus got at
the answer desired. His evidence was given
in a perfectly calm manner without any show
of
PERSONAL FEELING AGAINST ANY ONE.
He told all he knew about the
firm of Grant & Ward, even to
the circumstances Of his entering
toe firm. Once or twice the witness was
asked if be was tired, but he each time an
nounced he was not. When the examina-
ton concluded short spat took place be-
tween the general and lawyers. In the
course of it Gen. Smith remarked that he
thought the patient was looking quite well.
:sWell," said Gen. Grant, in reply, some
what slowly and seriously: II know am
a yery sick man, Particulars Of the testi-
mony will be first made known when the
evidence is read in court tom orrow.

The Queens Message Calling for Troop.


LONDON, March 26. The calling out the
reserves and militia increased the excitement
over the Anglo-Russian dispute, especially in
military circles. Orders for thousands of
rifles and revolvers have been sent to Bir-
mingham. The arms will be shipped to
Bombay as rapidly as completed The facto-
ries at Birmingham are working night and
day. The queens message calling out the
reserves and militia is as follows
The present state of public affairs and
the extent of her majesty's military forces
for the protection of the interests of the en-
pire have con stituted, in the opinion of
her majesty, case of great emergency. Her
majesty has deemed it proper to provide ad-
ditional means for military service She
has, therefore, thought it right to commune
cate to the house of commons that she is
about to cause reserve forces and such a
proportion OF the militia as might be deemed
necessary to be called out for permanent
service.

The contest for this office has been sharp

With this thought in view, he sided with the

Reform Present and Future.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The senate has
decided tacitly, though not formally, to ad-
journ on Saturday, and has appointed COM
mittee to wait upon the president to so ad-
wise him. The president not having further
business to detain the body, will so inform
the committee and on Saturday the special
session will end. Thus far ali the presidents S
nominations have been confirmed without
any clash and it is likely all yet unconfirmed
will be before the adjournment, as well as
such as may be sent in tomorrow and Sat-
urday. Alta caucus of Republican senators
held to-day, which partook more of love
feast, they agreed among themselves that
they had crowded the limit in the matter of
the appointment of
JUNKETING COMMITTEES
and ornamental committee clerks, so they
held their hands uplifted and swore before
high heaven there should be reform next
winter. Meanwhile the committee clerks and
the junketing expeditions were left to stand.
One reform was instituted by the secretary
of the senate to-day in removing Butler Ma
hone as clerk in the office. No sooner,
however, had he given up his desk when his
lovable pa, the senator, appointed him clerk
of his committee at Sc per day and nothing
to do. This will give young Butler more
leisure in which to indulge his favorite
sport of
SHOOTING "NIGGERs.n
The caucus virtually decided to begin a
thorough system Of retrenchment. Another
meeting will be held Saturday, when steps
looking to a reduction Of the number of Of
ficers and employees will be taken. The Ben
Butler building is to be surrendered at the
end Of the first year and some Of the present
committees are TO be abolished. All this
cannot be accomplished before next winter,
but so much as can be done in the way of
retrenchment will be carried out, and COM
mittees will be appointed to make other re-
ductions. 1t has been found that over 300
persons are on the senate roll, drawing an
nually in the aggregate about $4,000.

The Voice of the Thunderer for War.

LONDON, March 26.-The Times says:
When Disraeli called out the reserves in
1873, Earl Derby retired from the ministry.
Earl Derby's opinion, therefore, and his
experience were unique. Risks of rupture
with Russia are now greater than they
were then. The czar's forces are almost at
the gate of Constantinople. Even if the
cabinet was disposed to preserve peace by
concession after concession, it is now clear
such policy is unsafe and would be dishonor-
able. Yielding would ALLEVIATE the Afghans
and
DEGRADE Us IN THE EYES
of all the people of the East without in
reality averting war which
would only be postponed at
the most for three years. Delay would only
benefit Russia to the detriment Of England.
Whatever frontier shall be traced we must
protect the Afghans. 1t will be always in
the power of Russia to provoke quarrel un-
less we convince her it will not be to her ad-
vantage to do so. Compromise in the pres
ent state of affairs will be represented as
Russian victory, and would produce oppo-
site convictions in the Russian and Afghan
minds. We are persuaded that if Russia,
reckoning upon want of spirit and made
quate resources in England, is preparing g
herself for war, it will be in order for her to
test the strength of the cohesion of her vast
empire, which will bring the dreams Of her
am bilious statesmen and soldiers to cruel

The London Stan dard on the Situation

Inc LONDON stan uar0 on rne SITUATION.
LONDON, March 27.-The London Stand
ard says: ''The calling out of reserves is
not such a serious matter TO the industry of
the country as mobilizing continental
army. The entire reserve force and militia
comprise only 10000 men. This number
can easily be spared from the aggre-
gate population and will not
seriously interfere with trade OF agriculture
All the preparations now being made indi-
cate the cabinet consider it more probable
that war will be declared than that an ami
cable settlement of the difficulty will be
reached. The nation is in humor to
SETTLE THE BUSINESS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
The general impression is that England
is better prepared for war now than she has
been for years. She can continue the war in
the Soudan and also send 20, 600 men to In
dia. India was never before SO tranquil.
The Soudan campaign proves that the troops
are still what they were in the old days.
Trade has been treated to such regime of
self-denisl that there is
LITTLE TO LOSE THROUGH WAR.
Never was there such a time in the present
generation, when the nation would so calmly
accept as necessary that which she would
never accept as her choice. We appear to

LONDON, March 26.-In the house of
commons tonight the debate on the
Egyptian convention was dull. The at
tention of most of the members who gath
cred in the lobby was absorbed in converse
tion on the imminence of war. Owing to
the lack of interest shown, the Liberals called
for division after three hours of discussion.
The Conservatives opposed the motion, and
the speaker decided the debate should con-
tinue. The government expects to have a
majority of so in the vote on the convention.
Neither side is concerned in the result, rela-
tions with Russia overshadowing everything
else.
