cent Russian Advance.
LONDON, April 29.-In the House of
Commons to-day Lord Edmund Fitz-
maurice, Under Foreign Secretary, read
a telegram from Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden,
dated at Tirpul, April %. This telegram
mentions that the Governor of Herat had
received a report that the Russian troops
had advanced upon Maruchak. Lord Ed
mund also said that Gen. Lumsden him.
self, in telegram dated April %, Incl
dentally speaks of the recent occupation
of Maruchak by the Russians.
The speech of Mr.. Gladstone In the
House of Commons on Monday upon the
vote of credit of $50, 900. 000 was received
with profound interest throughout
Europe, and was published in full in all
newspapers. 1t has dispelled any idea
that may have been entertained hereto
fore that England will make q conces-
sion to Russia. The general opinion of
the press is that the speech makes war
certain. The newspapers are filed with
discussions of probable alliances the
respective belligerents may form in the
event of the war, now thought SC near at
hand, not being confined to Asia, but
being extended into Europe.
The Russian advance south of Pendieh.
and the occupation of Maruchak, are
regarded in parliamentary circles as dis
pelling the last hopes of peace, and as a
precursor Of a Russian attack upon
Herat.
The Conservative leaders in Parliament
propose to move for vote of censure of
the government, owing to their abandon
ment of the Quetta railway in 1881.
Hugh Childers, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, in presenting the budget to-day
reported an increase of 3 pence in the in
come tax and an increase of the duty on
tea. and beer.
STANDING OF LIBERALS.
Sir Charles Dixie, President of the Lo-
cal Government Board, presided at a
meeting of the Middlese Liberal Asso-
citation to-day. He urged the Liberals to
nrepa are for the coming elections and to
fight Tor every seat. Regarding foreign
questions he said that no Liberal need be
afraid of the justice of England's case
after the clear case Premier Gladstone
presented Monday. He believed that the
Liberals were as united on foreign as on
home affairs aud retained full confidence
in the government.

GEN. GRANTS IMPROVEMENT.
The Cancerous Growth in the Throat

The Cancerous Growth in the Throat
at Present Quiescent.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The liberated
portions OF Gen. Grants throat from
which the broken down tissue has been
slOughed away have materially improved.
The cancerous trouble at the base Of the
tongue is neither lessened nor is it at pre-
sent aggressive. 1t IS quiescent. Mean
time the Generals system improves.
The weather of the last two days and
that of to-day, though unpleasant to per-
sons out doors, has been as a tonic 10 the
system and spirits Of Gen. Grant. That
depressing element OF warmer days
is wanting, and the patient
feels brighter and more vigorous.
He has now 80 far improved physically
that his mind Is becoming engaged with
the blocking out Of work upon his book.
This occupies his faculties, and the re-
suit is good. Gen. Grant became quiet
little after 10 O'Clock last night, and at II
o'clock he slept. From that time until 8
O'Clock this morning he slept well, with
occasional wakines. When the General
aroused this morning he felt better and
stronger than ON Sunday, which was at
that time the best day since bis improve
ment began. DR.. Douglass left the house
at S:l5 O'Clock to-day. He remarked that,
though there was some thickness Of
speech, the General had better and
easier command Of the organs OF speech
than has been the case since the attend
ance OF the doctors became constant. He
said that the General was better than at
any time in month.

a Depressing Eject.
LONDON, April 29.-The stock market
to-day was depressed, owing to the Rus
sian occupation of Meruchak and advices
from Paris that the Bourse there was
panicky and that heavy failures were ex-
pected at the coming monthly settlement.
No failures occurred at the London settle
ment. The Bourses Of FrankfOrt-on-the-
Main and Vienna were weak and lower
to-day in sympathy with the unfaVorable
advices from London and Paris.
The Paris B0urse was very agitated to-
day on the unfavorable London news, and
a number of forced sales occurred
in connection with the monthly
settlement. The closing prices,
however, we're not quite the
worst Of the day. Ottoman bank shares
were 1GL francs lower, Suez canal shares

shares 10 francs lower.
