GENERAL GRANT.
He Feels Better Than at at ANY Time
Since the Improvement Began-NO
Electric Agent Has Seen
Grants Throat

New YORK, April 26.-Shortly after IL
o'clock last night, General Grant fell asleep,
five minims of morphine having been sd-
ministered-one minim less than usual.
Though he did not sleep continuously
through the night, the patient slept as much
as usual, and aroused for the day at o'clock
this morning. He was said by Dr.. Douglas
to have been better to day than apy day
since the improvement bsgs' Just two weeks
ago.
During the night the General coughed
much less than usual and expectorsted
scarcely any.
Dr. Douglas arose late this morning and
left the Grant residence at 8 o'clock. The
day broke cloudy, aud al o'clock rain be-
gan falling, the air was chill aud raw, pre-
cluding the possibility of the General going
out curing the Gay. Drs Barker, Douglas,

The General says he feels better than be

But your opinion is worth more as 10 the
Generals actual condition. Is his throat
improved or worse than on Wednesday
last?" urged the inquirer.
''The threat has cleared up soma since
Wednesday, but there has been no radical
change In the throat. We did not expect
that" replied DR.. Barker.
When DR.. Douglas left the house he said
General Grant was found to have improved
since the last consultation. the observation
of all the doctors resulting in that opinion.
The General was feeling better and was bet
ter than since his improvement began. DR..

LONDON, April 25.-Ihe suspense regarding
pesce or war, which is sickening and mad
dening every body, continues, the only break
being the the new difficulty with France.
For many days past Engiishmen have been
left absolutely without news of any kind.
The secrecy OF the Gladstone Government is
more complete and prolonged than ever was
that OF Beaconsheld's administration, even
when Mr.. Gladstone was bowling soout
Lord Beaconsfelds ignoring the rights Of
Parliament. Only portion Of Sir Peter
L1msden's dispatches have been published,
and none from III. DtGiers. Thus the coun-
try is kept in ignorance OF vital facts which
will possibly eventuate in war. The general
impression from the published dispatches is
tha. the frontier question has been left
behind in the progress OF the negotiations.
Even the >Daily News now insists
that there is TO be war, while the Telegraph
the popular organ OF iingoism, declares that
there is nothing in The territory at issue to
justify fight; that Russia might get much
of what she wants without particular harm,
and thst the question is really one OF ma
tional pride on both sides. England declares
that the attack on the Afghans was cruel and
dellberate-Russlal laughs at the idea OF Gen.
| suring Komsrof. From this dilemma there
| is apparently no escape but war. The ides
! that German- an Austria will force Turkey
to close the Straits of the Dardsnelles is most
unlikely. 1t is believed thst Turkey has al
ready given her option In favor of England,
on the promise of ihe latters assistance in

tioDs divided, 10 enable them to eriticise the

probably attempt 10 compel division OF the
subject when the vote OF credit comes up for

which the Government was defeated in its
plan of charging the cost OF Irish regstrs-
! ton to the local rates has complicated the
| situation, as it is one a ladstone's favorite
