The Advance of the Russians Toward the

The Advance of the Russians Toward the
Afghanistan Border--Active Military Pre-
parations In England.
LONDON, March 1l.-Dispatches re-
ceived at the War Office this afternoon
confirm the reports of the Russian ad-
vance into Afghanistan. Instead of with
drawing the troops northward, as re-
quested by England, the Russians have
pushed further southwark, and collision
between them and the Afghan advance
posts may occur at any moment.
The Russian Government in reply to in
quirles by Earl Granville, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, admits that the advance
of the Russian column in Afghanistan has
not been checked, but asserts that the
movement is not intended as menace to
England; that the troops have been
pushed further south, in order that they
may reach a more suitable position for
camping purposes. These evasive state
ments from St. Petersburg are looked
upon in diplomatic circles in London as
bare-faced attempts to gain time. All con-
fidence appears to have. been destroyed
by the latest Russian dispatches, and war
is now looked on as certain.
Most active military preparations are
in progress, both in England and India,
and troops are being hurried forward by
both sides with haste which leaves no
room for doubt as to the critical turn
which negotiations have taken in the past
twenty-four hours. 1t is rumored In
some quarters that parleying between
England and Russia has already ceased
and that nothing remains now but war

MACkiN AND GALLAGHER,

The Promoters of the Chicago Election
Fraud, Sentenced to the Penetentiary.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March l3.-In the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
afternoon, after hearing elaborate argu-
ment for a new trial in the case of Joseph
c. Mackin and VIM. Gallagher who were
found guilty in the celebrated Eighteenth
Ward election case, Judge Blodgett at 4 40
p. m. denied the motion for new trial.
He then ordered the prisoners to stand
before the bar and formally sentenced
each to two years Imprisonment in Joliet
and also imposed a fine Of $500 on
each. He then ordered them into
the custody of the United States
Marshal, and deferred the date of their
removal to Joliet for ten days. Neither
man flinched when sentence was pro-
nounced. Gleason's case was not disposed
of, as Leonard SWEET wishes to present
some arguments to the Court.

GENERAL eRANT'sl CONDITION.

The Distinguished Patient Improvlng-A
Question of Medical Ethics.
NEW YORK, March 12.-General Grant
was much stronger yesterday, md better
in health than he has been for many days.
He was so well that he did little writ
ing and worked for some time on his
military "reminiscences, the first he has
done since his serious attack of Tuesday
night. He did not sleep very we'll, but
he had much sleep during the morning.
He partook of liquid food generously
yesterday. The General has always been
light eater, and now takes larger
quantity of food than when in perfect
health. His pulse was little lower than
it has been at any time during his Illness,
and his temperature but little above the
normal. Cocaine has not been applied
to his throat for three or four
days. 1t is only used to
deaden or relieve pain, and as
there has been an absence of all pain for
that period, it has not been necessary to
resort to it. He retired early last night
in better condition than usual. DR..
Douglass appeared much encouraged by
the progress of his distinguished patient.
After his last visit to him last night, he
said:
"The General is very well indeed. II
| is no longer necessary to use either stim-
lants or narcotics to quiet him. He is
doing WELL"
NORTH ADAMS, MASS, March I'm,
E. Brown, cancer doctor, has been called
to New York to examine the case of Gen
eral Grant. The physicians who are now
treating the General will not allow DR..
Brown to prescribe unless informed oi
the nature of the DOCTORS remedies
which, he says, under no circumstances
will be done. DR.. Brown treated his
father successfully for trouble similar
| to General Grants.

The Situation In the Western Pennsylvania
Coal Fields-Operators and Miners Equal-
Iy Confident and Resolved--A Long and
Bitter Fight In Prospect.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 12.-The
situation among the striking miners
presents no new features, and is prac-
tically unchanged. Several mines that
were working Tuesday shut down yester-
day morning, but in no way affected the
general condition of affairs. A meeting
of operators was held at the Coal Ex-
change, and was attended by nearly all
the members of the exchange. The strike
was discussed in general way, and as
result the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Owing to the recent reduction
KanawhS, with which our coal comes large
ly into competition, 1t Is impossible for the
Pittsburgh coal operators to advance the
Resoiped, THAT we reaffirm our former reso-
lutions, fixing the price OF mining In the
first, second and third pools at two and one
half cents, and in the fourth pool at two
cents.
Several OF the heaviest operators say
that they have no intention oflgiving In or
weakening, and that they look for long
and bitter fight, as the miners seem to be
in desd earnest. Out of sixty-six rail-
road mines in the district, not more than
one-third art working, some OF which are
getting the advance. Out of seventy-two
river mines, Secretary Flannery puts the
number of idle mines at sixty-eight,
though the operators dispute this.
The statement published yesterday
morning that card of warning and
threatening the use of dynamite posted
| at the West Elizabeth mines is emphati.
| cally denied by both operators and
miners. Some of the operators at
Woods Run have expressed their will
| lingness to concede the price as soon as
there are indications of 1t being general.
At Scott Haven the striking miners occu-
pying companies, house have been noti-
fled to leave.
A report comes from McKeesport that
| the miners of that vicinity have re.
solved to boycott any and all firms
using natural gas for either fuel OF
heating purposes. At the Prim rose
mines, near Mcdonald, the miners have
received proposition to go to work al
two and a half cents, with one dollar
per month reduction of rent on theil
houses, and thirteen per cent reduc
ton in price of store goods and check
weighman allowed, but they have no
