Ooneise Record of the Week. f-k THE STRICKEN SOLDIER. Gen. Grant’s Obstinate Battle with Death A continued improvement in the condition of <sen. Grant was noted by the bulletins telegrapted irom New York on the morning of April Hi. He had passed a comfortable night, securing many hours of refreshing sleep, and in the morning chatted pleasantly with members of the lamily and the doctors. “There is talk of taking the General to the mountains as soon as ■ the weather relaxes somewhat in its severity, provided, of course, that he continues to improve,” says one of the qßspafches. "The General chafes (onstantly at his confinement to tfoe sick room, and longs for a change, and it is thought that if he can lie successfully removed to the bracing sir of the mountains there will be more chance for him to regain his strength. It is also thought that he would be troubled less with the accumulation of mucus in the throat if he could breathe the dry atmosphere of the inland mountain region, instead of the humid air of tho coast.” Rev. J. P. Newman, the General's pastor, v as interviewed by a rei orter. “Gen. Grant is very much better, - said the parson. He converses readily with those around him, and seems lo be quite cheei ful and happy. He is sitting partly dressed and in a dressing-gown. There is a great improvement in his condition. The color of his skin is different He, looks more like a healthy man. He is buoyed up by faith. The prayers of the people of tho whole country have been offered up for him, and they are being answered. He now believes he will get well. He feels and 1 feel that the supplications of so many millions of people for such a consummation will be answered. There is a grand chance of the General's getting well again. His improvement may be credited particularly to tho power of mind over matter. To-day, as J parted from him, lie pressed my hand and sain: ‘Thrice lmve-T been In the shadow of the valley of death, and thrice have I come out again. ’ ” A continued improvement in Grant’s condition was noted in the bulletins issued on the morning of Friday, April 17, and the belief was gaming strength that the illustrious patient might ultimately recover entirely. The General surprised his family snd friends by walking down stairs unaided, while the former were at lunch, and, after taking his place at the table, ate cold mutton, cut very small, and macaroni Senator Chaffee, speaking of this surprising evidence of returning strength, remarked, "The family were entirely surprised, but highly delighted, and now Indulge hopes that he may get well entirely. His throat is better, less painful, and the doctors say there is an improvement in the disease itself. I am somewhat inclined to think there is som n thing in that. ’ “ That is merely an aggravated case of ulcerated sate throat?" “Yes, something of that kind. I think there is a possibility of it at least. I asked Dr. Shradv about it, but he does not think so. He says th it some of the little pieces that have been taken from the sore have been subjected to microscopic examination by other physicians, and they have all agreed that it was epithelioma cancer. He says they could not have been mistaken. But it is my opinion that there is at least a chance that they were." Mr. Dana said editorially in the Sun. in its issue of April 17: “The improvement in Gen. Grant's condition steadily continues. It is now ascertained that his disease is not cancer, and there is no reason in his physical organization why he should not recover his health entirely." New Y'ork dispatches of the morning of Saturday, April 18, reported favorable progress In Gen. Grant's case. The illustrious patient passed Friday in a quiet manner, at times pacing his room, and suffered no pain in swallowing his food. He talked freely with members 6f the family. In contradiction of the statements Bent out that the General’s malady was not cancerous, but only an aggravated sore throat, the doctors want the public to understand that “he is suffering from epithelial cancer of a malignant form, and incurable. There cannot be the slightest doubt of this. Aside from the many diagnoses that have been made, the progress and symptoms of the disease have been practically in the line marked out by the highest medical science for its development. Not a physician or expert who has been connected with the case has differed from his colleagues in the resul ts of his investigation.” The bulletins telegraphed from New York,on the morning of April 20 in regard to Gen. Grant’s condition reported the patient as still on the mend. He had passed two good clays and nights resting quietly, sleeping soundly, and taking his nourishment at regular intervals. In the morning he dressed himself and walked about the house during the day. At one time he appeared at the windows anil smiled at a number of people who were on the street, and also gave them a military salute. Notwithstanding the Improvement in the General’s condition, the physicians persisted in their olaim that the disease would terminate fatally, though death might be delayed for an indefinite period.

Grant heard the rumble of wheels, and as ths driver reined up the team the sic* man pulled aside the curtains a moment to assure himself that the time had come for the longed-for drive. Harrison, the colored nurse, with a fur robe upon liis arm. emerged from the house and prepared the carriage. A moment later the General appeared. He wore a high hat; about ids neck was a silk scarf, and closely buttoned about his figure was a heavy heaver overcoat.

THE CATTLE KINGS MUST GO

Capt Coach Has a Long Interview with Secretary of the Interior Lamar. He Is Told that All Unlawful Intruders in Oklahoma Rill Be Ejected. Capt Conch, with his counsel, .Sidney Clarke, visited \\ ashington last week, and had an interview with Secretary Lamar. The substanee of the interview was as follows; Capt. Conch gave a history of the Oklahoma question, and the view which he and the Western people generally take of it. The Secretar y took the view that the clause in the treaty setting this land aside, for freedmen and friendly Indians created a trust which made it incumbent upon the Government to preserve it in that status until such time as Congress nrght make another disposition of it. This point was discussed at length. The decisions of the courts for and against this position were quoted. Capt. Couch and Mr.

CAPT. W. L. COUCH.

Clarke understand from what Lamar said;: on this point that the position of the administration is that it is not subject to immediate settlement under the land laws. The question of the occupancy of Oklahoma by the cattle men was then raised. Capt. Couch informed the Secretary of thelocation of the ranches, the amount of land occupied, and the names of the Eersons occupying it. He also told Mr. iamar that the cattlemen wi re allowed topass by the military on a pass from any of the cattle kings, and that anybody connected with-the cattle companies was allowed to* pass in and out of the Territory without question. Capt. Couch said that the settler® thought that if they were to be excluded: because the administration took the view that these lands were not open to settlement, it was right and just that the cattlemen. who are not only upon the Oklahoma, lands, but are occupying the surrounding Indian country under illegal leases, should, also be ejected. Mr. Lamar replied that they would be ejected; that all the cattle syndicates would be ejected. He said: “I agree with you on that, gentlemen.” He also affirmed that his feelings were all with the settlers, but that, on this one point of law as to the landsbeing open to settlement now he did not agree with them. As to the question of the appointment of a commission to negotiate with the Indians, the Secretarysaid that the administration would take early action upon it. He said, “Gentlemen. you may consider the administration, a little slow, but we intend to meet all these questions, and I think we shall meet them, in a way which will be generally satisfactory to your people. ”

RUSSO-BRITISH WAR QUESTION.

The statement of Mr. Gladstone in theHouse of Commons shows lhat the question of war between England and Russia, hangs upon the accuracy of Gen. Komaroff’s official report of his recent encounterwith the Afghans. That the reader may havea clear understanding of the point at issueit is necessary to refer to the Russian statement In his dispatch to the Government Gen. Komaroff states that the 25th of March as he approached Dashkapri he came upon an Afghan intrenchment, and. to avoid a conflict stationed his forces three miles away from their position. The next day he commenced negotiations with theEnglish officers who wore with the Afghans. The latter, finding that they were not attacked, daily drew nearer to the Russians,, until the 29th Gen. Komaroff notified thenb

GEN. KOMAROFF.

to evacuate the left bank of the which they were occupying contrary to* agreement This they refused to do, upom the advice, as they averred, of the English officers. Gen. Komaroff then moved toward-, them, hoping that they would retire, but instead of that they opened lire on him and compelled him to accept combat, the result of which is known. It is sufficient to say that the Afghans went back in a hurry. If this'statement is correct the Russians were clearly in the right and were justified in driving the Afghans back; and it is on the correctness of this statement that tho war question now hangs. The reports thus far received from the Eng’.isl* and Russian officers are conflict* ing. In order to get at the facts from an official source the English Government has telegraphed Gen. KomaroiFs statement to Sir Peter Lumsden, with instructions to make his report as early as possible and to inform the Government as * to the correctness of the Russian General’s statement. Pending the receipt of ananswer, qf course, no action will be taken.
