Mr , Smallcy cables to the Tribune from London saying : "Thoro la evidence that the defeat of the government on Monday was pre-arranged , but there is abundant evidence that the efforts to avert It were slight , and the satisfaction of the ministers - ' tors , when it was accomplished , was Intense. Till near midnight on Monday the liberals ex pected a small majority on the budget. Tory whips had made extraordinary efforts to get their men up but only when they discovered the number of liberal absentees did the vic tory seem possible. "Two facts are decisive as to the attitude of the ministry. They were warned at mid night that defeat was probable and urged to move an adjournment of the debate but refused fused , though both Sir Charles Dllke and Mr. Gladatouo declared the question to bo oue of life or death. Once beaten , the ministers of all sections of the cabinet mada no secret of their delight at the defeat and the decision at uesday's meeting that the cabinet should re , i unanimous. Tha budget was hardly more than a pretext for what happened. It was an unpopular budget , but it could have boon carried If tbo ministry or party had been united on other questions. "Nor , but for the otner troubles , would the more necessity for re-ur > auglng tbe duties on beer and spirits have caused the cullnpao. Many liberals staid away from disgust at the condition of affairs abroad , but the final reason for the events of Monday night and the resignation of the cabinet on Tuesday was thu probability that the ministry would go to pieces on the crimes act. Gladstone , In an nouncing hid resignation to tha queen , based it on the budget. The queen , not deeming the accession of her friends , the toriej , now opportune in their interest telegraphed him urging his withdrawal of the resignation , Mr. Gladstone replied that it would , ba useless to witndratv it as nothing would induce some nf lip colleagues to resume office. It would bo Impossible to form a rain iatry without them capable of commanding a majority of the commons. The quson there upon sent for the Marquis of Salisbury. His friends say he is reluctant to take the ollico as ho consid the ultimate effect of an immediate accession of the tnries to office as likely to bo disas trous. lie will , however , attempt to form a cabinet. "The numerous lists of the incoming min istry in circulation are all pure Ruess-work , Continental critics discuss the situation in terms of bewilderment Statesmen abroad would regard Lord Salisbury's accession 04 signal for the dissolution of the present Earopein concertncrainst England If they believed lioved his ministry likely to bo permanent. u. Rufsia is thoroughly alarmed nnd Ruseian ngents now admit the mistake of protracting negotiations on minor points , Ihe whole question 'may ' now be reopened though it Is understood Salisbury intends to surprise the country by a policy of prudonce. The liberal ministers , in spite pi theeo many foimidable obstacles , persist in regarding the formaticn of a Salisbury cabi net as certain and all are packing up , begin ning with Gladstone , who has already taken a bouse at Richmond terrace. The whole ol next week will likely be consumed with cabi net making. " GLADSTONE'S HE 11ETIBES AMID TIIUNDEES OF AP PLATJSE Special Telegram to the BEE. NEW YORK , Juno 13. The Sun'a specla cablegram from London , says : The scenes in tha house of commons las' ' night when Mr. Gladstone announced the ra tlremont of his ministry were tha most extra ordinary that have been witnessed in St Stephens Hall for many years , The attendance anco and excitement nave not been equalloi for generations. Every foot of sitting anc standing room waa crowded and some of the inembars suddenly developed arboreal traits that would have delighted Darwin , climbing Into high fplacas , like boys , swarming upon lamp posts to witness the street shows. The crowds in the house overflowed into the palaca yard and the whole of the Westmins ter district was filled with excited groups ol men of all parties , whu cheered or hooted every notable member according to his poli tics , Cheering reached the climax when Gladstone made hla appearance in the house. Not n few nf the conservative members joined in the applause , being apparently carried away by tha infectious enthusiasm of the moment , and the visitors seemed to be Gladstonlan tea a man. The applause seemed very grateful to the retiring premier and ho deliberately nuruued it by standing in his place and bowIng - Ing to right and left , as tbe greater volume of sounds seemed to come from this or that di rection. When ho spoke at last it was to make the announcement plainly and unequiv ocally that the queen had telegraphed her acceptance of his resignation and of those of his colleagues in the cabinet. Tha premier was _ palo and hoarse , but ha spoke firmly and with a more cheerful air than ho has had at nny time uince Monday , His friends Bay that ho is feeling remarkably well ; that the ending ol the suspense by the queen's acceptance of his resignation has bad a wonderfully salutary i. fleet , and that aftora short rest at Hawnrden rastla ho will rejoin his wonderful ability us a leader of tbo opposition.

The queen , it is said is delighted over GlaJstono'a downfall , The 1'arnellltes , who accomplished bis overthrow- n-o going to encounter the hardest times they have over had. The marquis of Salisbury everybody beglni io ece. lacks nelf-confidence , Ho has beeu bold , but never far-sighted as a lu der cf the opposition , but the very moment the Gladttono ministry resigned , Marquis Salisbury bet-inn ) n supplicant for public help and vowed ha would not take power unles the liberals "gave hisgovernmena a show , " Glad stone never asked a "ahow" from anybody , VICTOHIA HAPl't IN TUB DOWNFALL. The queen cjuld not conceal her satisfaction over thu clianga of politics , She never liked Gladstone. Ho wan too superior to her. Etiquette could not flatter him and ho waa Impatient as a state servant of the throne Her majesty wuj so eluted ovei the prospect of again having a tory and aristocrat nt tbe bead of affairs that she tele graphed her iiceeptaccu of Gladstone'd re elg- nation nud by wire summoned the Marquis of Salisbury tu Balmoral to aseumo tha trust of forming a new government. SALISBUUX'H rusa AND OITOKTUNITIIS , It is understood the Mirquis of Salisbury will rcfraldfrom tbe work of forming a now cabinet until ho h held a conference with all conservative It-adore. Singular as it may Appear to foreigners , tha chief political interest of England juac now does not eeem to be in ( he oon&titution of the now ministry tut principally in Ihe fcreigu policy , and secondly in tha IiUn policy of tha conservative govern uient. rAUNELL'ti PERIL. Piunell innit certainly have the measure of t ! . .is ambition nearly filled , lie lui succeeded n making tha affairs of Ireland the most Im- > ort.int subject for British interest after Kng- ish foreign affairs , When the Irish members n Monday night throw their votes with the .orios . oud wroutrht the ruin of the ministry , hat gave to Ireland duestablianment and the and act , they jumped upon their teats mrrahed. They were then certain ttiat the' aria * , lifted Into power by Itiih help , would at once " 1'nrnollizs" the government , but the toilos having recovered from their first * xcito- ment , appear to attribute Gladstone' * defeat not to bis harshness toward Ireland , but , to , ho loss of the liberal votes drawn from him lydlftgustat his nubmlsiion to "Irish bull- dorlng. " Now "this difgusted liberal vote" i far larger than the homei rule vote , The ; iiioa know that thtiy are wise in their duty nd generation. They nro pUtlug for tlio argor vote and the Irlih arc going to got loft. The conservative p ty is largely con- in lied by the prevalent opinion of tory clubs. The Carfeton and other leading tory clubs ill favor tha opinion advocated by Karl Spencer , Irish viceroy ; that there Is an ab solute necessity for n continuance of the co- crciou policy in Ireland. On this point the torles and a majority of the liberals will agree , and on it they may combine against the rad icals and Parnellitoa , If they do the homo rulers will ba in such a pltable minority that their voice will count for nothing in parlia ment , and n long lease of life will be secured For the present mode of English rule In Ire- and , BALSBOHY'S inisii rower. It is not believed that the marquis of Sails DUry will seek aisistanco from any of Glad- itone's ministers. In forming his policy -pward Ireland hit plan will bo to split the iberal party completely by proposing a meas ure of coercion , based on Earl Spencer's ro [ > orts a measure the same as the Marquis of UartmgtoD , Gladstone's war minister , and a majority of Gladstone cabinetinsitted oncon Linuing in suite of the opposition of Dilko , C/hamberlain , and Trevelyn. Such a line of Irish policy wonld bo most certain to load teat at least a temporary coalition between the moderate liberals and the tories against the radicals nnd I'aruelllto ? , and give tha new ; overnmont a tremendous majority. " WHAT CAN niEtAND ATrEMPTt It would be Imd to guess what would become of the Irish homo rule under a government whoso very start was based on a determina tion to maintain coercion in Ireland. NonrncoTE IIKGINS TO SCHEME. Sir Stafford Nortcoto , the tory leader in commons , has already been in consultation with the Irish executive officials concerning tha real status of affairs in Ireland , and it Is understood that nearly every ono of these gentlemen has ttated that no English govern ment could afford to bo responsible for the government of Ireland during tha coming winter without a continuance of tha Irish crimes act. Sir Htafforil can easily acquire testimony that will boUter up his intentions toward Ireland , CHDRCUH.L , IRELAND'S ONLY HELP. Lord Randolph Churchill , it may bo safely stated , is the only oue of the men likely to form the conservative cabinet who is at _ nil likely to advocate the abolition of coercion , His influence will ba far less with his party when it is in power than it appeared to be when ho was an opposition leader in commons , AS VIEWS n AT DALMOIUI- . Telegrams from Balmoral indicate in con ferocces which have taken place between the queen and the marquis of Salisbury that her majesty has shown tbatebe is concerned most about the foreign policy of her government. Iu court circles there is no longer any conceal ment of rejoicing over the fall of tne liberal government. Gladstone ) court officials now admit ho was never in Iiarmonv with tin queen on any subject , and her majesty anc premier disagreed bitterly in all their dis courses about England's foreign affairs , Glad' stone , it is Eaid , rarely consulted the queen or informed her of the designs of his government. WHAT VICTOBIA VAVOBS , In well informed court circles it fs thoughl thu queen strongly favors the renewal of tbe Soudan campaign , the retention of Egypt , the settlement of the Anglo-Russian disputes on the basis of the Granville-Griers agreement a renewal of the alliance witU Germany ; an entente with Turkey and no special culliya tion of an entente with France , A policy embracing all thote principles has all alonf been approved by all the parliament officials in the British foreign office , amongst whom the Gladstone regime had become intensely disliked. GLADSTONE'S HETIREMENT FROM PUBLIC. Gladstone's Intimation of a determination to retire from public life has for the present utterly disorganized the liberal nrrangemeuts for the coming electoral struggle. A deaper- ate effort bos been made to secure from him a number of engagements to make campaign speeches dnrlng the ensuing election , The only engagement admitted by Gladstone it one for Midlothian , In a recent letter de clining a request for a speech the premier states that ho has given a verbal promite to bis political agents iu Midlothian that ho will not retire without addressing that ( his present ) constituency. THE LII1EIIAL3 IN TROUBLE. Liberal election o gents generally re port great difficulty in ( obtaining cin didates to contest Beats in all precinct * on the liberal platform. Radical candidate * are , however , reported to bo plenty. The Birm ingham liberal caucus has adopted In its pro gramme for the campaign the proposals by the recent miners parliamentary conference , Tne proposals call for reformation of the house of lords by the exclusion of bichops from seats , and by a specific limit to the power of peere to delay or pruvent necessary legislation. HIGHNESS OF CAPE COLONV. Earl Derby , colonial minister in the cabinet of Gladstone , in an official communication tc tbo government of Cape Colony , has Intimated his approval of the action of Gen , Sir Charles Warren in the annexation of liecbuanas. The expansion of the CAVO Colony incites Interest in England , and la subordinate only to the resignation of the Gladstone cabinet , and this Interest Is made even greater by the glowing description being publinhed of the capacities and possibilities of the new territory. The London Times , In an article describing 13e- chuanoa , cays : "In territorial extent it Is much greater than Spain , It is well proportioned with wood , contains tha best pasture land in South Africa , and will grow everything , " says enthusiastic writers , from wheat to oranges and the finest grape : , it will furnish besides many thousands of forma for settlers. Tbo Spectator U alarmed apparently at the possible outcome of this annexation ot terri tory aud comments at some length upon the tmbjoct says : "In same week England us- eunib.i a protectorate over the lower Niger and annexed tto vait province of Bechuanas , Can anything be said now about the rapacity of Germany in wanting the territory of tha sultau ct Nltu , or of France in claiming tha Congo country. Tha government of ( the Transvaal republic Is Incensed a ) tha annexa tion of Bechnanas to Capo Colony and will seek an alliance with the tribes In Alaicbuana , the land just north of Bechuanas land , and will try to ferment war with Enpland In tbo hope that BechuanuB may be reclaimed to the Transvaal territory.

INCIDENTS OF HIS BEDSIDE. Special Telegram to The BEE. NEW YonK , June 14.--Throughout his ill ness Gen. Grant ha ? exhibited those traits of character for which he has been noted. Ho lias been patient , plucky , strong In pain , and even true to his many incidents. Dr. Doug las , who has been very faithful to the penoral to great dotttmont of his practice , has slept every night in the house , and docs so even now , although there Is uo sign of immediate danger to his patient. This case , however , is one of those on which n change for the worse , and oven death , might come without warning and it Is important for htm to have some one at hand who has experience and abil ity. The general has perfect confi dence in his physicians and Is _ as passive In their hands as a child lie takes great interest in the pathology of his disease nnd discusses it freely. Dr. Doug las , tta active physician in charge , is at the huuso every day. Ills attention is not solely of a professional kind , for ho has formed a reil ejection for his patient which Is entirely reciprocated , Ho treatH the general with dis tinguished consideration ana Is extremely careful of his feelings. Notwithstanding this , the general is convinced that he will nqver got well , Col , Grant knows it likewise , aince the late favorable change in her hus band' * condition Mrs , Grant entertains hope of his full restoration to health , The general himself sauJ , on the night of his great trial , "let me die , " but since he has grown stronger ho longs for his health , although wearily shak- tig his head whoa asked about his recovery. It Is recounted that once during his illness the general imagined himself in command of his old army again. He arose , stood up and looked back as if his men were behind him. He raised his hand as if it bore a eword ; "Come , now , forward march. Steady ! " At that moment ho sank back upon his bed as if in great pain , put his hand quickly to his face and exclaimed , "I have been struck on on the cheek by a shell. " When the press was charging the physicians with having made a wrong diagnosis the gen eral never wavered in his confidence in their skill. He said , "the greatest battle I ever won I was placed under arrest for. It was at Fort Donalson , " When the celebrated eastern bulletin was received in which the general eaid. "I wish to be at peace with ovary man , " a scene occurred which ehows how llttla he cares for adulation , The general dictated the bulletin and every word was his own. Gen , Badoau was preent and when the last word was written he reached forward , threw his arms around the old hero ana exclaimed , "Dear , dear , gen eral , " and kissed him twice. Throughout the general remained unmoved. He looked neither to the tight nor to the loft and uttered not h word. Previous to this Gen , Badean was sitting on the stairs with his face in his hands and crying bitterly. "Why , what's the irattor , general ! " asked one who passed him , Babeau burst out crylnp and between bis eobs said : "O don't call me gen eral. There is but one general and he is dying. " Thera are two stsries current in regard to the heavy medical bills which are being in curred by General Grant. Four very costly physicians have been employed almost con- tiLuously during tha last six months , A care ful estimate of the aggregate of the lour nc < counts gives § 40,000 as the sum , which judging by the quality and the quantity oftho work done by the four doctors must have been demanded at the beginning of the present month Dr. Douglas now lives in the house , neglecting his other practice altogether , and Bra. Sands , Shrady and Barker j havu averaged a call per day , counting in the days which they have devoted entirely to this case. All are specialists - ists , accustomed to large fees. Uba suggestion that they are content to accept the incidental advertising in lieu of cash remuneration is not tenable because the job baa not on the whole made a good reputation for the two whosestatus could not be raised by connec tion with a celebrated person. One story is that George W. Childs has paid the bills , Ho was here about the 1st of Juno and was a visitor at the Grant house. His Intimacy with the general is well-known and bis liber ality is proverbial. Childs has since declined to'stata whether ho met any or all of the medical expenses. The second explanation is that the phyei cians have taken in payment orders on Web ster and company , tha firm which is to pub lish Grant's book. The income from that source is bound to bo large. Mark Twain , a member of Webster & Co. , says that he does not personally know of any such arrangement. But that bis assent or that of his partner would not bo essential. It is cer tain that the general's present resources yield only $27,000 _ a year , which would barely cover the ordinary expenses of bis houeehold. leav ing nothing for Mich Immense doctor bills as must have been now rendered. The reason why Dr. Douglass is kept on guard night and day is the patient's expecta tion that ha will eventually choke to death and he wishes to have expert help st band. While he sleeps sitting In a chair , unable to lie down for an hour , Dr , Douglas occupies a bed in an adjoining room with a bell eo bung that a pull by n cord at Grunt's hand will awaken him. This precaution la in addition to the watching of an attendant. NEW YOBK , June 13 After Doctors Doug * las , Shrady and Sands had held their usual Sunday consultation at General Grant's house to-day Dr. Douglas nald that the general had suffered eomo little disturbance durlcg last night , the cause of which was attributed to easing some usparagus but that ho slept with little break from 1 a. in. to 5 a , m , and was not suilerinp to-day , though feeling the heat. Dr , Shrady caid that the swelling on the outside of trie throat had increased , and had affected the p - tlout'n voice. Col. Fred Grant , after the con sultation , eald that hla father had a bad night , that the general was growing weaker , and that his condition now seems to bo one of In creasing Indebllity without pain , The colonel nel added that If possible the general would be removed from the city on Tuesday next , one week earner than before intended.

Ths question of what shall be done with the Grant trophies is bothering Secretary Endicott. The breeches and tern ! buttonless vett of George Washing ton , together with hla camp utensils , tent rocking chair and crockery , are now perma nently gathered under a ahow caae glass the national museum , For a time they were tctttered about , some In the patent oilier , Borne in the war department and others in the Smithsonian building. The Grant art ) clei will not meet this fute and wherever they are will probably stay in cue collection. The national museum , curiously enough , has a legal claim to tha trophies and if any disposi tion is Bhowa to placeGnueral Grant' * brio a- brac elsewhere , Professor Blair can carry the matter to the president with atrcng points on hii eida.

Of counc , greater facilities than the museum now possesses would bo required tonsure nsuro thustfety of the articles , but congress would doubtless gladly vote an appropriation necessary for fire and burglar prcof cases for this interesting and valuable exhibit.

Marshall ] on the Brink ol Poverty. Special Telegram to The BEE. WASHINGTON , June 14. It is well known that the fund for the payment of United States marshals is very low. There will be none until July 1st , the .begin ning of the fiscal year , when the legislative executive and judicial appropriations become operative , The marshals who have been re cently appointed have shown no eager desire to enter their offices. They would rather wait until they can get some money. There fore they haye in a number o ! instances , failed to take the oath of office. One of the most prominent of the appointees did not know what he wts bringing upon himself. Not taking the oath the republican whom he will supercede , sent to the department of justice a requision for a small sum of money. Attorney-General Garland upon seeing the requisition telegraphed to the new man who had not assumed his duties : "I wont your oath of office , " In about four hours he re ceived the following reply : "I have just mailed my oath of office and will enter upon my duties immediately.

The difficulties against which the bulls content ] ata Imma- dlato , aid the near by thing usually makes the prices , The London correspondent of Bradatreot's writes as follows under data ef May 28 : & "It is useless to refer in detail to the grain trade , for there is none worth mentioning. Business has been pretty well prostrated since the prospect of peace seemed to bo assured. Heavy losses have been suffered by those who speculated in whont and oats , especially in the latter grain , of which some merchants bought very extensively when war _ tuoiora were flying about , The re ported injury to crops in Europe generally and the unfavorable prospects of the Ameri can wheat harvest fall to produce any ap- preclablo effect , Buyers look at the enormous quantity of wheat afloat or shipping and ignore- the crop reports , " Under the present conditions ths probabili ties as to the Indian corn crop must bo regarded - gardod as a very important factor in deter mining tha near future of wheat. If wo are to htvvo a big corn crop it will go far to keep down wheat , The effect of an increase of 500e 00 bushels in tha visible supply of wheat last week was ro-onforced o-day by confident predictions of n further increase this woek. It has been pointed out how the country is threatened with low puces for wheat and n small crop. Ad\ ices trcnn St. Paul BIO favor able as regards spring wheat , and San Fran cisco telegraphs that light rains have benefit ed late wheat and a batter yield is promised. The last number of the London Miller at hand hand has the following : "To a certain extent 1885 is the first year when harvest probabilities do not exceed the requirements. It is , in fuct , the first chock to the advance of area In America while low prices are in themselves a check to produc tion throughout the country , Even India cannot grow and sell wheat in London at the terms forced upon the trade in 1884-85. AH in the United Kingdom 4Do to 45o is the range below which wheat cultivation Is not recognized as profitable ; so in America and India. " The condition of the rye crop in Central Eu rope is attracting much attention , as it forms the staple food there. The plant has been touched by frost In north Germany and is yel low. Some damage is also feared to ths grain in Austria , where the weather has been unfa vorable. The best information in London re garding wheat growing in exceptionally favor able circumstances Is that India cannot compete - , pete with America in the wheat export trade. It appears that the government rail way sys tem is an annual burden on the people of In dia of 47,000,000. A cry of "India for the Indians" is promised in the noor fnturo. The situation on the New York stock exchange - , change is no better than before. Railway managers are hard pressed for a way out of the difficulties. The bank statement for the week shows n further congestion of money. Atlvew York the surplus revenue over the 25 * per cent re quired by law is $01,979.000 , ( , ho largest ever known.
