FOREIGN. SIINISTER THELP3 WELL RECEIVED. WAR CONSIDERED PROBABLE. New York, May 2i A cable special from Loudon to the Evening Post says: The black war clouds grew much larger last night. During the afternoon a report was circulated, intentionally, from the for- tvnn office, that everything was settled with Russia. In spite of this, so prevalent is thv feeling of disquiet in all well-informed cir cles, that the moment news that tlieGuards had been stopped at Alexandria spread in the house of commons, every one was re ;ily to believe the worst. Groups of members gathered in the inner lobby, discussing the meaning cf the news. In answer to the question "What does it mean?" only one reply was on every one's lips, viz: "Russia." Sir Arthur Hayter, iiuaucial secretary ol the war office, wore a loek of great anxiety, when admitting in the house the fact of the detention. This naturally confirmed the suspicions. The Guaidsmay, of course, have been stopped for t'je defense of Sauk em, ow ing to a change in the government's 7 Jan, or because new trouble is expected to arise over the Bosphore Egyptian incident; hut every one here believes it means more serioiu'iUi'iications with Russia.

With ivtrard to Gladstone's recent words About his letirement, I am able, as a resul: of inquiries iu the best quarters, to state the following with much confidence: Mr. Gladstone wilt, without dcubt, retire upon the dissolution of parliament, but this will not prevent him from taking opportunities during recess tospeak a number of times publicly, in defense of the policy of his ad ministration. Having thus helped the lib erals back to power, he will quit public life forever. But if war breaks out it is be lieved he will resign at once, leaving the marquis of Harington, now minister of war, as premier to carry on the war. MORE PERCHEON HORSES FOR OREGON.

The police expect and are prepared for a renewal of the communist riot -at Pere la Chaise cemetery to-day or to-morrow. Gommuuist papers cry for vengeance upon the police and troopsfor attacking and bayoneting people who attempted yesterday to make a demonstration at the graves of communists in the cemetery- These jour nals, iu order to iucitejtha mob, falseU as sert that soidiers, during yestordiy's riot, Shot four commuuist3 dead.

Special A cable gram from London says; News has just been made public that the cabinet has de cided that overtime night work in the royal arsenal, which has been relinquished, pend ing diplomatic negotiations, shall be resum ed, especially in the laboratory and foundry for the manufacture of small arms, ammu nition, shot and shells. Orders have also been given to expedite the arming and man ning of several ocean steamers, both at home and abroad, as auxiliaries of the royal navy. FAVORABLE CROP REPORTS. THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT DENOUNCED. Victoria, May 21. Much excitiment has been caused on the mainland by n order from Ottawa raising the price of railway stmnp- 3 00 aye and other duties on timber to an extent that will destroy the lumber trade of the pioviuce. At a public meeting held at New Westminister denunciatory resolutions were passed. One of the speakers said: "It would be better to live under the czar of Russia than under the rule of Ottawa. They know nothing at all of the wants and wishes of the people of the province. When we were under the old flag, and working in the mines ot Uanboo, we got our goods carrion to that remote district for one hall what it costs to get the same quantity by raiiro d from fort Moody to Lytton. Is not that a nice example of the justice given us by Can adian politicians? Onderdonk is a king and with his money he rules at Ottawa. The thing he calls a railroad is only a tramway, and a bad one at that. The whole conduct of the government is evidence of incapacity, and we will stand it no longer! I recom mend that we proceed at once to business, and declare here to-night that we shall sever our connection with the Dominion govern ment, and go back to the old flag." ANTI-CHINESE DEMONSTRATION. Victoria, May 22. About 2000 working men, headed by a band, bearing torches and transparencies, inarched thrimiru the streets to the electric liht tower, beneath which they organized a meeting and passed resolu tions condemnatory of Chinese immigration, and issued an appeal to the workingmen of Canada, imploring their aid to put down the evil. The t-ausnareneies bore these mot toes: "Bycott the Chinese employers," "They are ut with us but against us," "No yellow slaves shall eat our children's" bread, " "Cut out the Chinese cancer," "Down with the dragon flag," "h-t British Col umbia be a home for men only," "Let no Chinese leper cross our threshold." These we;e relieved by pictures, one representing a Chinaman in the act of stabbing a white man in the back, in allusion to the attact on Captain Morden. At the close of the ineeet in a proposition to march through China town uas not entertained, aud the crowd walked throgh the streets iu an orderly manner and dispersed at 10 o'clock. OF INTEREST TO MONTANA PEOPLE. Washington, Maj 22. Quite a large uumer of entiies were allowed in Montana, declarations and affidavits for which were executed Before one II. C. Webster, deputy clerk of the district court. Webster was appointed by the c'.eik as deputy for the sole purpose of taking proofs of entries. The land office hold that the laws of Montana do not recognize the appointment of an. officer for that purpose, and hence declarations ex ecu ted before him were invalid. Upon ap peal the secretary of the interior has revers ed that decision, and holds that, regardless of the puestiun whether the deputy was or was not legally eutitled to hold that otfice, he was deputy clerk defacto, aud as such the department would not question the au thority by which he-held office, and that it was not competent to inquire into the au thority by which an olficer exorcised his functions. cal survey, to make a stndy of geological phenomena presented by the Cascade moun tains. THE REBELLIOUS APACHES. Washington, May 23. A dispatch was received at the war department to day, say ing that the Apaches who escaped from San Carlos reservation have gone in the direct ion of Fort Tulerosa and Ojovnliente in New Mexico.

The report of the Ontario bureau of industries for May states that reports received show that wheat was in almost as good a condition on April 1 as on the 1st of November last year. Appar ently the greatest damage has been done by hard frosts and northwest winds in April, and low temperature in the first ten days of May, but the plants remain fairly rooted in all soils, and the opinion is generally ex pressed that with favorable weather speedy recovery will be made. trbasurv notes. Washington, May 22. The secretary of the treasury to-day issued warrants fer the payment of about 5,000,000, on account ot pensions. It is estimated that the total payments on this account for the prasent mouth will amount to abeut $10,000,000.

A NEW DEMOCRATIC SCHEME. Washington, May 24. A strongly or ganized movement, started by western dem crats, will soon be made to induce the pres ideut to appoint a new civil service com missioner. Clamorous politicians say that if one democratic and two republican com missioners could properly look after the in terests of democratic applicauts under the civil service rules, then one republican and two democratic commissioners can be trust ed to look after the interests of republican applicants. Under the law the commission ers have no fixed term, and the president is expressly authorized to remove any of them, their successor?, of course, to be confirmed by the senate.

TROUBLE OVER THE OLD TESTAMENT. New Vork, May 25. Special. A semi offical announcement, with which the names os l'rotessor (jeorge r.. Liay is peing associ ated. was made this morning, to the effect that there is something of international dis tnrbance over the revised Old Testament. The American committee ot revisers are displeased at the English committee of re visers. This feeling arises from the break ing of a mutual agreement about the publi cation of the work. It was clearly under stood that no copy should go out of the hands of the print rs, save to members of the committees, until May 21. The Ameri cans scrupulously kept this contract. The Englishmen, however, unbosomed themselves three days before hand. There is a still more important disagreement be tween the English and the American revis ers, however, I or it relates to vnai points oi doctrine embodied in the familiar passage; "For I know that my redeemer liveth." Neither body would give aawy but the Eng lishmen! had the final decision, the work of the Am.iicaiis being advisory. This is not -satisfactory to the Americans, and the like lihood is that an editiou of the bible con taining this and other revisions adopted by the Americans, but rejected by the English men, will be soon issued, 'the breach caused by the premature issue iu Loudon will great ly further such enterprise. a pugilist's BIVOitCE suit. Boston, May 25. John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, has entered a counter suit to his wife's suit for divorce. He charges her with cruel and abusive treatment and gross'habits of intoxication.

GEN. GRANT'S CONDITION. New York, May 26. Colonel Grant this morning said his father passed a better night than he did on Sunday, when he slept for eight hours. The general feels bright and comfortable to-day. General Grant and family are eagerly look ing to their removal to Saratoga, The gen eral believes that he can stand the trip all right. His mind is now thoroughly engross ed in his book. The entire work is well nigh completed. The May number of the Medical Advocate. pu Wished in the interest of electric physi cians and opposed to the regular school, says: In view of all the circumstances we have reason to hope there may have been an error in the diagnosis as well as in the prog nosis and treatment of the general's case, and that Grant may long live as a witness of the ignorance and incompetence of men who arrogate to themselves all knowledge in the medical profession. MURDERED BY APACHES. Denver, May 26. Last Saturday Apaches killed two men at Cantwell & Seterie's ranch on the Gila, and Sunday afternoon killed Charles Stevenson, foreman of the Alley & Ingersoll ranch, and Harvy Moorland, son of James Moorland, living between Grafton and Fairview.
