The situation eorna to be a deadlock , but active efforts nro naking to-day to nrraugo matters. The mar- uis of Salitbury'a refusal to proceed with the bird reading of tha seats bill ia interpreted as notification to liberals that ho does not in- end to part with the power of dissolution till omo ministry has been formed. The liberals ro surprised nnd furious nt discovering that lie toriea are not quito so helpless as they uppoted. They acsusa the marquis of SalU- niry of bad faith in not carrying out the ontract with Gladstone. A dissolution s not likely In any case before November. 'he Marquis of Salisbury denies that he in- cnds it , but the feeling ou both sides Is bo oming bitter. If the tories como in , the list already published ma ; ba taken to be nearly accurate. If they do not , Gladstone's return ; o power will be facilitated by recent events. Mr. Chamberlain , who last week executed in lis resignation and declared that nothing would induce him to take office again before i general election , ia reconsidering hia posi- ion. ion.Tho The marquis of Salisbury's known resolve lot to attempt a renewal if any port on of the rlsli crime ? act haa produced on extraordin ary change- the whole political situation. ? ho libarais eeo that it is impossible for them 0 appear as partisans of coercion , which the ories repudiate. Whichever party now os- uniea office coercion is deiid. Sir Charles ) Ilke and Mr. Chamberlain may , therefore , pjoin the ministry which last week hay were ready to wreok on his question. Their return would insure majority of the house , even though Lord epencer and tha Marquis of Hartington re ign , as probably they wonld. Mr. Parnell ia eady to tolerate any ministry which accepts lis terms. This tacit abandonment of co rdon , though but llttlo dibcussed amid the urmoil of the crisis , ia really the most mo mentous fact of all. Very significant also a Mr. Chambarlaia'd explosion of wrath gainst the whole system of English ule in Ireland with aa anathema against Dublin castle and strong declarations In favor f government of Ireland by tha Irish. The [ uostion whether tbo toriea or tbe liberals take office is Insignificant besides the silent evolution on tha Irish quuttion which these ewdayabavo brought about in England. ? ho ministerial crisis henceforward resolves tself into a inero struggle as to which party hall put the other In a false position.

Grant , THE HERO'd PEN ItOW IT OBTAINED A CHANCE. Special telegram to The BBE. NEW Yomc , Juno 21. At the time when Jon. Grant decided to make a bargain with , Inrk Twain , principal of the firm of Webiter t Co , , to publlih bi > war book , initcad of arrylcg out the understanding with the Con- ury company that they should issue the work , bo situation waa somewhat complicated by bo fact that Gen , Grunt bad already can- ractod to write a certain number of article * or the Century , The rapid progress of hit iseaso rendered It unlikely that ho could vcn complete the book , to say nothing of the ither matter and ho said that he felt bonnd 0 keep hia prior engagement before preceding - ceding with the latter , notwithstanding his ogcrneis to leave the book AS an Incorao pco- ucar for his wifo. Under these circumstancas a compromise was fixed up by Mark Twain nd Koswoll Smith , proaident of the Century , ompi ny , the terms of which were that the irticlea to be provided for the magazine hould appear first In that periodical and then orm n part of the forthcoming volume. Toiler that agreement a duplicate copy of hose papers waa given to the ed- tor of the Century to bo pub- Ished during the summer and early fall and to Webater & company forsterotypinp and printing in the history which was noc to be mt on the market until winter. A substan- lal frustration of this mutual bargain has iome. Webster & company got up an agents dummy or order book , in itself a volume half on inch thick and containing sample chapters and pictures selected from the work for tha mo of canvassers In soliciting subscriptions , V newspaper reporter called to pet informa- Ion on the subject and Webster , who a a relative of Mark Twain by narrmgo , gave to him ono of these small books from which , of course , he made a ompreheruiva aiticlo , the substance of which was therefrom telegraphed to the press of the whole country. Webster declared that he had no idea tne reporter would aoutili/,3 the"ia- erlal put into his hande. The Censury folk's urprlso was undoubted and their indignation oo , for the published extracts included most if the matter which was to have first isen seen by their magazine readers. ? he editors of the book have demanded 1 reimbursement of money paid for the con- ributlons , and If they do not get it there vlll bo a lawsuit for damages. They alleged hat something exceedingly similar happened as to portions of Mar Twain's "Huckleberry Finn , " and this time they want satisfaction. The Inheritance left by Gen. Gront to his atnalyia altogether comnrised in his book , md it 13 pleasant to know that for every dol- ar which the adroit publishers make out f it nearly two dollars will go u the Grants. Should the work prove ess popular than anticipated Mark Twain's ortune would sutler a depletion for his confi- lencewas to great that he made an offer which no regular publisher felt like competing with. Twain says he knows what he Is about In is- uing the book by subscription , and is making 10 mistake. All of his own productions have ) een handled in that way and he believes 10 has made more money lu consequence than Drotlierauthors of oven wider fame. His plan s to arrange hia business so as to have noth- ng else on hand , every and then ro band every energy to the one iroject. He will in this casa employ can- 'assera ' by the thousand , beginnings ! ! months lefore the volumes are ready for delivery. As matter of fact all booksellers will i , get a sun- ily , by hook or by crook , but the agents will assure their victims that the only possible way to obtain Grant's book is to ubscrlbe in advance. The expectation is hat not lens than five thousand drummers will go out 'and if each sells only one book ho result will ba a bugar sale than the average successful work attain ) . Gen. Bodeau'rf "Lifn of Grant. " for instance , cached but 3,000 , and Cabal' * last novel ox- eedod that by only one thousand. These are ullod good figures in the trade. SUNDAY WITH GRANT , 3E OLD HKKO WHITES , SALUTES PBIENDS AND LIVES PLEASANTLY. MOUNT McGBEGon , Juno 21. "Gen. Grant las slept nine hours since ho retired last night. He is now being dressed and will bo mt soon , " ( mid Dr. Douglas as he chatted with a caller at the Grant cottage between 12 and 1 o'clock to-day. The doctor further ox- ilained that although the general went to bed a little after 0 o'clock last night ho did not hep until about 11 o'clock. I'rom that time trough the night the patient slept well , with ew breaks of wakefulneas. and the doctor lad not been called until 5 'clock this morning , when ho cleaned ho general's throat and applied cocoalno to t. At that tlma the general's voice had > oen clearer than at any time since his arrival lere. When the doctor was called at 7 I'clock , the patlent'd pulse wts sixty-eight , mt after he had become thoroughly aroused by the doctor working over him , his pulse in creased four beatu per minute , Tne general remained tn his bed-room chair all hrough the forenoon. It was after midday when he got up and It was about 1 o'clock when he made his ap pearance on the piazza. Ho wore a new suit which ha donned yesterday , and Heated him- eel f on a willow arm chair on the north ve randa ( tha cottage When a caller at this : ime aakad the pnysician how the patient [ ound hlinsolf who he arose , he wai told that the general was decidedly better : that all symptoms weredocidodly improved over yes terday , The general's voice was not so clear as when he awoke In the morning , but It was qulto audible. After listening toaconverta * ttun between members of tha family , the gen eral walked into the room used as an oliice , took up a pod of paper , returned to his chair , nut on his spectacles and began writing While sa engaged the family waa called to lunch , and the doctor luv- ing first trapped n blanket around the patient's lev ent up to the hotel for bis luncb. The general wus thus left alone on ttje piazza , and he wrote rteadily for three- quarters of on hour till 2 o'clock , then ha handed his pad and manutcript to Harrison , wlu took them inside. Another block of wai history hod been prepared for insertion at Its proper pUce in the general's memiirs. When u little mountain engine pulled Its two little cars up from Saratoga at 3:20 : p. in , and unloaded a hundred people upon the platform of tha little ruitio depot rn top of the moun tain , Gen.

Black clouds had drifted over the nuuatahu In the mornint and rain fell briskly for tor. minutei but in the afternoon the sky wa mottled with spices of sunshine and i pleasant bretze was blowing , madtt fragran by odors from pine tree * and hemlock * , Th general though coughing a trifla mote that vcsterday , waa having a peaceful Sunday , quite different from that which ho spent In the super-boated city a week ago.

The tories will not assume power unless the liberate pledge themselves to refrain from obstructing the progress of the new government. This promise the liberals refuao to give. They say : "You overthrew us by opposition ; we simply , as parties , exchange functions. " Tha dead-lock , based as ll ie , gives a cast of ab surdity to the whole British political situa tion. Nothing more absurd can happen than a rclurn of the liberals to power , because of the fekrs of tbe toriea to assume it. The very nature of qhe political situation engendered all manner of rumors. The latest of these is to the effect that a sufficient numuer of liberals have given assurance of support to the tory govr ernment to induce Lord Salisbury to break the deadlock and proceed with the work of forming a new ministry. On tbe other hand it is asserted that no liberal leaders have given in any such assurance , and that there fore the tories dare not take power. The queen is said to be particularly anxious that the conservatives form a government , and It is generally believed that her majesty ia using all her influence to induce Lord Salisbury to accept tha cilice , Among tbe best informed the situation is deemed extremely critical , and the Icsua absolutely in doubt , I1I8I1OP O'CONNEB OPPOSES IinilORATION.

With no end of money to bo tad on call in Wall street for one per cant , lha utlook for the money lender ia indeed blue , 'ho surplus rOForvo ot New York banks la ow in excess of § 02,000,000. On correspsnd- DR dates in the last two years the surplus was bout $9OCOUCO. At other financial centers lothnthomo and abroad the story is much the amo. Theiituatlon is phcnomiual and de- anda a more general explanation than it haa ot received. A socialistic friend at my elbow rguea that capital hai become r-ermnuntly odundant and to an extent not yet perceived , o much to , indeed , that capital Is now in way returning to labor , whence it came , n abort , in ono way nnd another labor , al ways the real capital , is to give employment 0 money. It Is at least clear that numerous acts are at hand in proof of the belief set orth , Take ns a emglo illustration , a stronc novemeut is on foot hero in New York , look- ng to the erection of mudel tenement houses , 'be return on _ investment is to bo 4 per cent , md wage receivers who became tenants are to 10 maae joint proprietors as far as possible.

If money s to bo a drug at one per cent ha thought norgy must t peed ily lind moio popular ex pression. There Is indeed good reason for bo- ief at this time that tha state of trade and ndustry in the lines nsarest life are by no ncans so bad as the prostration of the money- endera business would lrad one to suppose , t is difficult to determine this , but it ia cer- am that the poor man was never so rich as ow. There is no improvement to note in the pic ran market. Sales have been light and irices unchanged. Listed quotations are still ibjected to shading. Production goes on jout as usual. Some of the mills that are die nro buying because of the low pricja of- eied. The steel rail trade shows no signs of mprovoment. ' The eastern movement of outhern pig iron continues , but as reported mouse the trade ia in reduced volume. There is a good cheer for oyster-eaters , 'ha ' New York state commissioner reports lat the oyster industry , as car ed on in tbe waters of New Ycrk tate , is of much greater scope than ormerly. It is constantly increasing in im- lortance. Tbe extension of the oyster area is ue entirely to private cultivation. The iri- eaned number of beds is owing entirely to le fact that oystermen have , In response to ncreasing demands from the growing popu- fttion , monopolized Jand from the public do main beneath the Water which before such ap- > roprlation was of no valne as oyster prodnc- ng territory. To supply the growing area ith raw material required for future results , 10 natural growth beds have been almost In- isjantly and unscrupulously drawn upon for lelr product ) . The commisiioner thinks that would ba well to pass a law making it a ese season from Jnly ID to October 1 , and ut rewards should be offered for the capture : certain natural enemies of the oyster.
