Apparent Peace Preliminaries.
LONDON, May 15.-In the House of Com
hons this afternoon Gladstone stated that
he did not know whether Russia's answer
concerning the Afghan frontier agreement
reached by Lord Granville, Earl of Kim
berly, Baron De Stssl and M. Lessar, and
submitted to the Gear for approval, had
yet arrived in London. Negotiations be-
tween the two Governments continue,
Gladstone said, and the Government are
unaware of any further Russian advance.
The latest kilograms received make no
mention Of any advance.
Gladstone then moved and Sir Stafford
Northcote seconded the granting of an
annuity of f6, 900 to the Princess Beatrice
on the occasion of her forthcoming mar
riage.
Labouchere opposed the motion. he
thought the Queen should provide the an
nuity.
The annuity was voted by 335 against SO.
The negotiations which have been re-
sumed in London between Russia and Eng
land respecting the Afghan question are
making satisfactory progress. Some fur
Their explanations from both sides are still
necessary before the signatures to the gen.
eral agreement already reached can be Sc
cured; but it is not believed this will delay
final adjustment. M. Lessar, chief of the
Russian Commission on the Afghanistan
frontier question. expects any moment to
be instructed to proceed forthwith to Asia
for the work OF delimiting the frontier.
Pacific Coast Politics.

the Colleotorship and prefers that to any
other Office. and he will doubtless make
known his decision to the President before
many days.
Ex-Mayor Frank McCoppin arrived here
from Boston yesterday. When a reporter
asked him this afternoon il he had heard
anything definite about Pacific Coast ap
pointments, he said: 81 regard talking
about California politics just % al
treading on very thin ice. / prefer not tt

General Grant.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The Tribune say
of Grant: The morphia that was injected
into Grants arms Wednesday night die
not bring relief from the pain that he wa
suffering in his throat. and he remained
awake until 8 o'clock the following day
The pain was more severe than any he hal
had since his improvement. His trouble
was complicated by his taking cold during
his drive on Wednesday, which caused
constant irritation in his throat that ever
repeated applications Of cocoaine did no,
allay. His inability to sleep made him
uneasy, and he got up from his chair sew
eral times and walked around the room
for relief. He took food frequently, but
1t did not induce drowsiness. Though
there was no cause for alarm, his family
were disturbed. The General became
physically exhausted finally, and fell
asleep without having the dose Of morphis
repeated. He slept for about an hour, and
awoke ss il startled. This was the longest
time he slept continuously until 8 A. NJ.
when he got up and was dressed.
A Queer Coincidence.
New YORK, May ia World Philadel.
phia special says: In New York Walter
Lennox Maxwell, who was arrested in
Australia for the murder Of Preller In st.
Louis. made the statement that he was q
brother Of Lord Herries, and several times
spoke of his aristocratic connections. In
February last Bernard G. Maxwell, second
brother of Lord Herries, wal in Philadel.
phia on business. He sailed for Europe
In March and has since been heard from in
London. 1t is Q queer coincidence that he
has q brother, Walter Lennox Maxwell,
who came here from Australia and settled
for o while on q ranch in Colorado, though
nothing has been heard of him for some
time. Some points Of resemblance and
this coincidence have given rise to the be-
lief that the companion Of the murdered
man who is now under arrest either knew
Lord Herries' brother or assumed his
name purposely to mislead.
