The English Cabinet.

LONDON, June 23.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Gladstone said he hoped by to-
morrow to be able to inform the House of
the nature of the communications which
passed between himself and the Marquis of
Salisbury upon the subject of the recent
Cabinet deadlock.
LONDON, June, 23-The crisis in political
affairs is believed to have been passed, and
most probably to-day all differences between
the Conservatives and Liberals will be ar
ranged and the Conservatives will form a
new cabinet. 1t is said that some technical
points only yet remain to be settled in prin-
ciple. 1t is claimed that Gladstone has not
departed from the lines originally adopted by
him, but he has made fuller concessions to
the Conservatives than were hoped for He
reserves, however, full liberty of action in
regard to any new measures of moment that
may be introduced in Parliament at the same
time he undertakes to assist the new govern
ment in completing the ordinary business of
the session. 1t is reported here that Baron
Won Staal, Russian ambassador, has been in
structed by his government to maintain an
atitute of reserve towards the government of
the Marquis of Salisbury. Baron Won
Staal is also instructed to insist that Zulfekar
Pass ought TO belong to Russia

THE PROCESSION.
About $4,000 Men In Line-The
Form afion


Bright and early the different organizations
that were to take part in the grand parade
We're up and moving Those who had quarters
down town formed at an early hour and
marched to the camp ground where those in
camp were formed in line or marching to
their assigned positions. For an hour or
two there was much marching and counter
marching of the various organizations, but
with little friction the formations were final
ly completed and everybody awaited the
boom Of the cannon which was to start the
great procession.
few minutes after II O'Clock the gun
sounded and the first division started. The
start was made so near on time that for
while there was plenty of opportunity to
witness the passage without the usual crowd
ing, an accompaniment of all pageants, but
before the first division had been under
way 10 minutes every available spot was
secured by the anxious crowd that had filled
Portland's streets almost since daylight. A
| platoon Of police, under Benz. F., Andrews,
| City Marshal, headed the column, and was
| followed by Portland's pet band, Chandler
| whose music made marching easy for a
| platoon of the 4th Artillery, u. S. A., escort
| ing Gen. George l.. Beal and numerous
staff The 1st Battery of Light Artillery of
the Maine Reserve Militia Lieut.. Daniel
| Guptil commanding came next, acting as
| escort to Hon. Frederick Robie. Governor Of
Maine, and his staff. The appearance of the
Governor, who was splendidly mounted, was
| the signal for rounds of applause along the
| entire line of march. Gen. John Marshall
| Brown came next. The General was superbly
mounted, as was his staff The latter appeared
| to be great favorites with the ladies along the
| route and the generous manner in which they
| saluted their friends as they rode along was
| particularly polite though hardly military.
The Second Regiment of Infantry, Col A.
l.. Mitchell commanding headed the brigade
The command was out with full ranks and
marched handsomely, although il the step
had been heightened and companies equal
lied the general effect would have been
better.
The regimental iband of the 1St regiment
headed that command and Col John j
Lynch, commanding, with his staff, looked
nicely. The regiment appeared to excellent
advantage, the different companies seeming
to be in full force, marching with goot
alignments and the men bearing themselve.
in soldierly manner The command re
ceived considerable applause along the lin,
of march which it certainly deserved.
Invited guests, in carriages, followed til,
brigade and for twenty minutes the specta
tors amused themselves by trying to discovel
who occupied these particular opsi
tions of honor and tracing the differ

THE INDIANS.
outrages Committed in the South
west.

DURANGO Col. 23.-A messenger from Dolores
Valley who arrived yesterday, says Indians killed
neighbor named Guthes, seriously wounded his
wife and burned the houses, barns, haystacks, &c.
The messenger confirms report that cowboys
mad killed six of family of Indians. One young
buck who belonged to the same family was
wounded but escaped, had come to the agency at
lgnaeio, and told his story, and Immediately $50
warriors came TO the agency and demanded re-
venge. Agent Stollsteimer pacified them by
agreeing to go with 20 of their number to Fort
Lewis, there to get escort Of soldiers and then
proceed to the scene of trouble, investigate the
whole affair and bring back the bodies of their
dead comrades. Accordingly the agent and the
Indians passed through yesterday morning en-
route to Fort Lewis.
=, Another messenger, arrived last night, reports
that party of Indians met Joe Dougherty, of the
22d Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Lewis, while
on his way home, near Mitchell's Springs, and
killed him and carried his wife into captivity.
Captain Dougherty with his command went to the
scene OF the murder. 1t is stated that the COM
mander OF Fort Lewis hearing of this action I'M
mediately sent a company of cavalry to intercept
Dougherty, fearing that he might lose his tudg-
ment and seek revenge for the death OF his
brother. There are many conflicting stories as to
who began the trouble. The cowboys claim that
it was the Indians, while on the other hand the
Indians and their ageut accuse the cowboys OF
carrying out their threat to kill all the Indians
they found off the reservation. Troops are arriv-
ing and the Indians were probably scattered and
returned to the reservation.

GENERAL GRANT.
Changes in His Condition the Past
Week Noted.

Mt. McGREGoR, N. Y, June 24.-Dr. Douglass
was this morning asked TO make a comparison of
Gen. Grants condition now and on the day he left
New York until this time with the weather such
as when he left. He was sinking very rapidly
there and that was why we had to hasten the time
of leaving which was originally fixed for to-day.
In making the comparison of the Generals condi-
dition week ago and now there is the central
fact that must be considered, fact that pains me
deeply all the time, and that is we must stand by
and watch the course of the illness with con-
sciousness of being unable to stay it. Starting
from that fact, the Incidents of the daily change
may be noted.o Although not called. DR. Douglass
several times through the night went to the sick
room to insure himself if his patient was not ex-
posed aud contracting cold. Between 5 and 6
O'Clock the doctor treated the Generals throat,
after which he spoke to the physician in quite a
clear voice and said Il have had good night.
] slept well and feel rested now" He gained
some sleep between that time and o'clock, when
his throat was again attended to and food was
given. The General then again dozed off.
