Crush Several Workmen Employed In Brach-? Them Up-Tho Uulltj Contractor 3Iakes Ma ! Escape. Great Excitement Around the Detrls-Several of tfco Wounded Taken Oat. FALL OF TENEMENT KCILMNSS. A Haifa Hnndreil (?vrkma Were Ilracelog Them Up at the Tiieer-Great txcl'mcnt Many Taken to the Hospital. New York, April 13. Eight fire story tenements, on the south aide of West Sixtysecond street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, that had recently bsea put un ler roof, fell this afternoon while efforts v. re being made to brace them up, that tae yielding foundation might be male secure. The wreck was complete, cot a (tick remained standing, not a tlnib : remained wno!e in the entire row. Hilf a hundred workmen .were at work in or about the buildings at the time. At least thirteen of them were iDjared, cone fatally. It was said soon after the a -client that twenty persons were buried in the rains, tut up to a lats hear nobody Lai bfea found. The txciteniont aboat the place was so great tbat it w3 difficult to obtain any reliable information as to who might have been loit, bat the gangs of wcrkrxen engaged in searching for remains found no cine to any object of their search. The most superficial examination of. the debris showed thecaoseof the d Ulster to be wretched workmanship and poor material. The mortar contained little or no sand, but loam or mud instead, and was wholly unSt for use. This and the fact that the building had been erected dnr'ng the cold weather of wet and frozen bricks were directly the cause . of the collapse. The builder, Charles A. Baddensick, who was responsible, left the neighborhood in a earriag immediately after the disaster and drove to his residence, in East SsventyttveEth Btreet. Where he went from there r.obody cocld learn. The police, who arretted the master bricklayer, Charles Frank, ccnld ret find the builder. I'nddecs'ck has been for years in trouble with the authorities on account of the "skin" buildings he has put up. The e 'Idence given by Frank and Charles Swager, another bricklayer, 13 very damaging to Mr. Buddensick. The erection of the building had been going on eince last December, doricg all the cold weather. The fourth story wails showed a weakness in a tudden thaw before the f:h story was reached, and had to be taken down. "Workmen were forbidden to carry bene Eciaps of- timber left by the carpenters. By the builder's order they were to be used in filling the walls to save bricks, which were sometimes put in by armfuls. When a good thaw set in, the walls began fb weaken, and steps were taken to brace them up from both ends, so that they wculd ttick together until the roofs could be put on and the end wala b-iiit TLeyrstocd for a week or tiro without, so far as cculd be ascertained, exciting the curicelfy of the building department. The heavy warm rain of yesterday morning completed the werk begun by the thaw. This morning It was seen the three houses at the west end were about to fall. The founda icn bad bulged noticeably and the walls were shaky. Builder Bddiensick's attentoa wa3 called to the fact, and he set men to work upon tbe walls, and eighteen carpenters were at work od ta'13 when the crash came. There were roofers, painters, lathers and plumbers, nnmbarins, perhaps, thirty, at work about the premises at the time. Fifty men had been laid oil, as some material had not arrived. About 31.r p. m. a shout of warning went up tbat brought pale faces to many windows. The end building toward Eleventh avenue was seen to totter and then fall with a thunderous noise. Both foundations .and sidewalls had fu'lea out, and the body of the house, deprived of its support, fall to the cellar. Tte building adjoining it, hayirg nothing to lean upon, fell next Then the whole row followed, like a line of card houses. A continuous roar followed that seemed to last many minutes, as one after the other cf the tall buillingi went down. Workmen In buildings for blocks around, and people living on the streets for half a mile about, were startled by tbe noise acd shock, and in a very abort time tbe locality of the wrecks was packed with excited people, whose threats ot vengeance on tbe reckle si builder filled the air. When the heavy elands of dust had cleared away, the peop'e looked upon a heap of broken bricks and timbers, piled only a few feet above tbe level of the street, msa with broken limbs and bruised faces were struggling out from under the wreck, and dsaggirg themselves ralnfnlly away. Shriek and groans were heard from one or two places, and to theee spots the people rus ted. Firemen and all available ambulances were summoned. Teople from all parts of the city flecked there. The Roosevelt Hospital ambulances were first on the ground, and carried away eise cf the wounded. Co mm 1 3eiocer Erennan, of the Charities Department, undertook to direct tbe work of rescue, and Building Intree tor D. Oench, of the Fire fV?mmf"iorers did work In the a me direotica. Four bock and ladder companies and tbe crews of three engine companies set to work to remove tbe debris. A large gang of wrrimen was prers'd into service andlu fifteen minutes the labor of rescue wai well tinder way. Night had set in before the efforts were relaxed at all. One or two of the workmen thought they heard a cry for help, but no person was found at either time. Near 7 o'clock Fire Chief Bee res thought he heard groans under tbe heap at the rear of the second bnlldinr. Oarts went to work front and rear. At 7:30 a fcole large enough for a fireman and two Piters to grope their way to the cellar wai

made. A search waa made with a lamp, but ro'hir.s; but ruins discovered. Nearly two t ours later, in the same placs, grcass tame a man caught in an upright portion between many crossing timbers and held fast. He was extricated with difficulty. He was Louis Walters, aged forty-nine, a framer, cf 1S5 Ridge street, one of the men who had been eegsged in bolstering np the building. He was removed to the hcspital. The policemen threw a lice acioss the street It was said that tbe missing builder had been hurt by a eying b.icfe when the buildlrgs fell. Search is bin- uroäecuted with tbe aid of a large calci niu light Cbas. Ecnwazer, the bricklayer, was a;andirg by him at the time. Sohwazer had refused, a wiek before, to work longer on sucn a building. As the dost arose, Schwszer turned to Buddensick, and shaking his clenched hit in the builder's face, exclaimed: "You onht to be bung for what you have doae hare." Buddensick made no reply, but limped away. There were many threats of lynching the man, afterward, and it was lucky for him he stayed away. Buddensick is notorious as the builder of cheap edifices. He Las generally, cf recent years, built under another name than his own, and thus Wen able to shirk responsibility. He was ones indicted fcr violating the buildicg laws, but escaped punishment Four years ago he went through bank ruptcy, but has since done plenty 0! buslae:S er der another name. Frank says he sooke to Baddensick a couple of times about the quality cf the mcrtar, and the builder replied that it would be all ripht It is said that the building examiner made a protest at the method of building these houses, and was scon removed to another district. Inspector Dcench made a hasty exarninaticrs of other buildings being erected by Buddersick, and remarked that he thought he would order extensive alterations in them. There were many narrow escapes. An drew Love and John Gaiter were palntizg on the third-story windows Of one of the houses when it fell. Love landed in the cellar and Gainer cn the sikewalk, almost unhurt. At liiidn-'-'ht it was thought that four car

sort two stair builders and two plumbers are etkll in the ruirjs. Tbe wounded and misEltg by the fallen buildirg are: Injured Amt, Otta, slight injuries; Binder ick, Robert, seventeen years, lather, slightlv iDjurtd; Brandt, Henry, thirty six yearj, elight injuries; Cavanaugh, John, lather, slght'y injured; Dexter, John, eish teen jeais, lather, slightly hurt; Fly En, John, 2!) years, slightly hurt: Fiynn, Tom, scalp" wo and; King, Thomas. 33 years, rcofer, hand and arm burned by solder, hospital; Laverty, John, scalp wound and ba;k buit, went heme; ilclnery, John, 41 years, roofer, leg and tbich broken," injuries very eeiicu, hcspttal; Nolan, Tom, slightly hurt; Enueib-ie, R., carrentei, side Injured, hos pital, Schnckt, Job, aged 27, roofer, contusknof side and internal injuries, hospital; TraIr.or, James, Si years, lather, foot crushed, hospital; Ward, Frank, 20 years, brick layer, back sprained, hospital; Waiter, Louis, forty je .-amer, dug out cf ruins after six hoard insensib'e, b."l!y crushed, hospital; Zimmerman, 'Adsra, thirty seven years, mison, heal and thigh badly nruised.

GRAIN CROP PROSPECTS. 17 Itter Wheat badly Damaged Throughout llllnelfl. FrEijccnrir, III, April 1Q.The late reports to the Illinois Department of Agriculture leave no room fcr doubting that the growirjg crop has been severely damaged by the pre traded cold dry weather in March. In some localities tbe reporters assert that the wheat was damaged in January when the ground was bare cf snow and the plant was exposed to the extreme low temperature that pervaded during that period. The tables published to-df y show that in April the condition of winter wheat in liinois has not been more unfavorable fcr years than this eeaton. The tables have been compiled from the reports of nearly 600 experienced correspondents of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, who are so distributed türonghout the State es to enable them to examine the condition cf prowlce crops In each locality. The wheat area of the State during the past ten years has averaged 2,637,631 acres, which has returned an average yield of 31.7Gy.6l8 buEkels. The eera seeded to winter wheat last fall in this State was 2 317.2! acr.-s, a decrease of 405.472 acres as compared with the preceeding year. The season is backward compared with tbe average years, and (he damage to wheat by winter kUl.ng cannot be definitely determined until the plant has bad some warm rales and growing weather. In some ef the southern counties the extent cf the wheat that has been winter killed can be determined with some degree of accuracy, and cot in a few lostancas one half or more of the area Is reported winter killed. The average condition of the growing crop, April 1, la estimated to be about 52 per cent, of an average crop. A High Averse Shown by the Report tor Michigan. LMyi. Stich. April 10. For the April crops report the Becretarv of State has received reports from S5 correspondents representing 045 townships. At the beginning of the winter wheat was in a very satisfactory condition; from about the middle 0! January untill April 1, tbe ground was well covered with snow and yery little. If any, wheat will be plowed up because of being winterkilled or otherwise 'destroyed. The reports cf correspondents mailed to the Dapsrtment April 1, show the condition of wheat in the southern four tiers of counties was 10.3 per cent, and in the northern counties 10.2 per cent of the conditloa one year ago. At the time the reports were made probably no field in the State was entirely bare of srow. Reports made sine the sno melted off and received April 7, 8 and 9 shew 1C3 per cent, in the southern part of tbe State, compared with an average crop. The present acreage as estimated in November is 1.4 04 0,r9, or about 5 perc&nt- less than was harvested in IsHi. Wheat la Missouri la an UopromUlng Condition Cattle L'js Daring the Winter. St. Loris, April 10. The crop report of J. W. Sanbcrn, Secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, says: ' The present outlook for wheat is reported as quite ud promising and at 77 per cent, yet tbe latest returns indicate improving prospect. The decline in acreage tss reported to this office last fall to be 10 per cent less than the average. This is an underestimate of the actual decrease, but we will use this baiis until Inquiry in next month's circulars. This gives an average cf 2 :''7,2tC A decline In tbe prospects of 20 per cent leaves the probable yield "J a bushels, or a total yield of 19 vyihti bus&elp. Early sown wh?at is reported aa looking better than ltec jn, while the prospects at prtMsnt are te-y unpromising. Very favorable conditions may improve

them, but this change will have fo come seen to prevent the plowing up of much ground now In wheat The growth is now very backward. Wheat in farmers' bands on April 1 was 2C 5 per cent or 8 CS,47ö bushels. Little whest is reported in elevators ouU.ide ef great cities.

Feacasare killed a( cording to reports aad small frails injured." Crop Proipecta la General by the ArMcultural Department Wisni-;TO.v, April 10 The returns of Apiil to the Department of Agriculture in dicate a reduction of over 10 per cent, of last year's area in winter wheat. The aggiegate shortage amounts to 3,000.000 acres. A decrease is reported in every State excent Oregon. It is 22 per cent in Kansas and Vireinia, -0 Li l-3isslppi. 15 in Calafornia, 14 in Alabama, 13 in Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri, 11 in New York and North Croliia, 10 in Maryland and Texas, 8 in New Jemy, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana, 7 in Georgia and Ohio, 0 in IVnn sylvania snd Delaware, 5 in Micnigan, 3 in AriaD&as, and 2 in Booth Carolina. Tbe present condition of wheat ae reported, is worse than in 1S83. It is 77 par cent , sgairst &0 last year, and Sö iL. 13S 5. In 1881, tbe of lowctt recent date of yield, the condition on April 1 was S3, and tenons loss was sustained af.erward. Tbe real status of the crop will be better shown a month her.ee, when tte vitality of the roDt3 has been demonstrated and the character of tte spring determined. Oa the present shewing, the reduction of the yield on the basis cf last year's redaction promises to be iO.CCO.OCO bushels on account of reduced area, 8nd more than 6'3 000,000 from winterkilling and low vltalitv. Whether the crop will" exceed 40,000.000 bushels or fall short of it depends upon th4 reliability of present appearances, and on fntuxe conditions alfecticg growth and ripening. The soil was in bad condition at the time of seeding cn the Atlantic Coast, from N9 Jersey to Georgia, and in West Virginia and Tennessee. It waa better in the Southwest, and in Mirsonri, Illinois and Michigan. In the Ohio Valley it is scarcely in a medium condition. Damage by the Hessian fly was net severe, though worse in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, where injuries have occurred in three tenths of the reported territoiy. The acreage of rie has been decreased in

about the same proportion as whet, but the condition cf the crop is decidediybetter, the average being 87 per cent. CLE II! ANTES.

Important Land-Grant Decisions La mar oa the Oklahoma Lands Set tiers and Cattlemen Mast Go. General Grant Remains About the Same, Though Slowly Growing Weaker. XErTä 0.F X'ATIOXAL INTEREST. A Kftllread Laud Scheme Ullked Appolatineate. Washington, April 13. Commissioner Spaiks, of the General Land OiS:e, to day cent tte fdlcwirg communication to the Er ister at Walla-Walla, W. T. : Gedti.kme On March 23 a diagram was trans muted to sou with office letter advising you of an araruccent of terminal limit of the withdrawal of land in your district on definite location of tne lice or the rvortnern raowe iwauroaa, ana you were instructed in enect that the railroad company would be permitted to . select lands under iis piant wi.Lla tuen. extended ILmiU. Itapns&n tt at this change was aiked for In toe lQtjr-Mt of certain allecea purchasers from the railroad compsny ci uncs uci tuDject to selection or sie ty the coinraty unCer theorderof tbeCoiamlioner of tbe Land OrVico of Aunst 16, lvU, fixing the tetminal limit of said imdrawal. My atten tion ess txen called to the matter by a complaint refened to me on the 7th Inst, b the Secretary of tbe Interior, alleging that the interests of rculers on 149,740 acres of land were prejudiced by tnis action la favor of purchasers of 2J.C0J acres from the ra-.lrcad company. I am satisfied that the action of the 20th ult. was taken uudera imscoueepticn of the purport of the letter from tae decratary of the Interior of the loth ult., In reply to the letter of tbe preceiinz dny from the Commissioner of this c tiice, asking instructions in the premUos. The Secretary seated tbat the fixing of tbe terminal limit was a matter of mathematical ascertain ment and a correction was iecesary, to truly repreteiit tbe fciant on either sice of the road. Tnls office was competent to cake it. Such a limit was fixed by the Commissioner's order of Au? 1. 11, and in accordance with the rule use! in the adjustment of the early land grDt. and a iuerei to from that period to the present time. It is not shown tbat any errer was made in the ascertainment of that limit. It was cleVriy not the purpose of the Secretary to chauge the rule for rixtne tjrlüu.al limits which has teen applied to all raiiroid land grant?, cr to authorize the cxtensioa of the withdrawal of ditinlta location beyond such terminal Limit when already fixed by mathematical ascertainment in wbicti error la discovered. The action and instruction of March 20, 1S!:5, bein erroneous, are hereby revolted. In speaking of this subject to-day, Commissioner Sparks said: The order of March 20 ought not to have been made. It brought imo the Laud Department what 1 thought should not hare been brought ia when my attention was drawn to the matter by the letter of com p'.a'.nt after conference with tha Secretary, 1 decided to revoke tbat order. It Is stated at the Land Oüice that the amount of land involved in the change of limit was 126,000 acre?, and tbat two-thirds of it had alreaiy been patented to settlers, thus p:aclus It beyond the recn oi the r&ilioad company. Tbe President made the following appointments to day to be Consn's ot the United States: Charles Rassell, of Connecticut, at Liverpool, England; A. Haller Grcfp, cf Pennsylvania, at Athens, Greece: W. W. Long, of Texas, at Hamburg, Germany; Henri Vigneaui, cf Louisiana, Secretary of the Legation of the United States at Talis. Augustus Jay, of New York, Second Secretary cf the Legation cf the United States at Paris. The three consuls earned above were nominated during the special sese''on of the Senate, but their nominations were not acted upon. What Cnptaln Cunch V Told by Secre. tary Lamar Aboat the Oklahoma WAeniscTOJf, April 13. The Post to morrow morning will print an interview to day between Captain Conch, the leader ot the Oklahoma boomers, and the Secratary of the Interior, with regard to the Oklahoma land, atd in tbe course of which Secretary Lamar said : "What is it yon wiEh?" T want to know what coune the administration has determined to pursue with reference to Oklahoma and the Bettlers," replied Car tain Couch. "Well, sir, I will state to you the policy of this administiation with regard to the Okla horn a country," eaid the Secretary. It considers the Oklahoma territory, on which the persons you represent are pro posing to make tettlercents, and part of the lndisn Territory. The Administration regards it as not a part of the public domain open to entry and settlement, and acquisition of titles under the land laws cf the United States. Being Indian country, tbat is. territory acquired and reserved for Indian occupancy, the Government is pledged to the protection of it and the security of the Indians from Intruders. No white persons have the right to go there acd reside without a permit, and when they to go they are Intruders and are acting il'egally acd wrongfully. The policy cf the President is to execute the pledge of the Government, and to protect this territory from tbe intrusion of white persons who claim that they have a right to enter upon it and that it was public domain subject to pre-emption and homestead settlement." ' Is that the final decision?" asked Captain Conch, "It is, and it will Le enforced," said Mr. Lamar. In reply to a further question, Secretary Lamar said the administration was determined that the cattle men on Oklahoma Reservation should leave They will not be permitted -to graze their rattle within the limit of that territory. He repeated this declaration with emphasis. GEXEKAL GRiXT. An Ex-Cotfederate'a Estimation of the Great War Captain. Waehisgto:?, April S. JuSge T. J. Mackey, of South Carolina, now a member of the Waihinglon bar, and formerly a 'Major in the Confederate Army, in speaking of Grant and the general sympathy expressed for hiaa in the Southern States by ex-Con'ed?rate soldiers, made the fo'lowing statement to the Sentinel correspondent to-night: . 'I was the Jodge ot the 8ixtn Circuit of South Carolina when General Grant passed through that State in 1879 en route to Mexico. He was accompanied by General Sheridan and a small party of friends. I was appointed chairman of a committee of exConfederates of Che3ter County to meet Grant acd ercort him to Chester, my Circuit extending to the northern limit of South Carolina. We performed that duty and on our arrival at the. Cheater depot oyer one. thousani ex-Confederates were in line and gave nine cheers for General Grant with the old Con federate zeal as a tiger. General Grant stepped on tbe platform, and when I pressn ed him the Confederates called eut: "Don't introduce him, Judge; we all know Grant" Gen. Grant addressed them briefly. At other stations aloDg the route he met with a similar reetption. On his arrival at Columbia, CaptW. B Stanley, the Mayor of the city, with the Common Council, boarded the

train. They were all ex-Confedsrafcs. They offered to General Grant the freedom of the city, and informed him that they bad provided a banquet in hi3 honor. He expressed his regret that his acceptance of a pub lie reception to be given him at Augusta that evening would deprive him of the pleasure ot enjoying the hospitalities of the city of Columbia. A noteworthy incident occurred as the train was entering Columbia. General Grant pointed to two re-blackened chimneys which recalled the burning ot that city by the Ftderal forces in 1SC5, said: "I suppose theee are two of Sherman's monuments?" I answered, "Yes, General, they are; and they are not the meet honorable columns of victory that a soldier can leave behind him in his own country." General Giant replied, 'Well, I made wir on aimies.' I said, 'We know that, and for that reason Confederate soldiers gather everywhere to honcr you as a soldier to day. General Sheridan, who was near by and who, in view of his blazieg campaign in the Sherandoah Valley, was doubtless sensitive cn this subject, observed to General Grant: 'I believe some houses burned in your lines near Richmond.' Gen. Grant answered: There was a large dwellirg burned In the vicinity of Richmond and the Richmond newspapers stated that it was the residence of the Confederate secretary Governor Seddon that it waa burned for that reason. I investigated the matter, and found that some of our men were spending the night it against crder?, and It was accidentally set on fire, the men lcainc a portion cf their equipments. The only buildiDg that J know was intentionally bnrned in my lines duricg the war was a small hotel at Jackson, Mfes. The proprietor had treated soma cf our soldiers while pr'eccers with great harshness, and when they weie released by the fall of Vicksburg, they retaliated in this form. I ordered an inyeatlaticm, but did not press it on learning the facts." General Grant's progress," continued Judge Mackey, "through the 8 täte was a real triumphal march, and when he reached Reaufoit to take ship he was received with a talote of one hundred guns, fired by the Ancient and Honcrable Artillery, an organization over 150 years, old and composed chiefly of survivors of the garrison of Fort Sampler. General Grant will have no more sincere mourners when he dies than ex-confederate soldiers.

Ills General Condition Thongttt to TJ Somewhat Better, Though Btlll Precarious Soothsayers' and AstrolCera' Predictions. Naw Yobk, April 12. General Grant passed a quitt night with the exception ot tbe fit of counhicg with which he waa attacked about midnight. He fell into a natural slumber at 4 o'clock this morning, from which he awoke two hours later. Shortly after noon the patient's throat was treated, and he walked into the library, where the doctore applied the medication. At 2 p. rc Drs. Barker, Sands and Shrady arrived, and they were in consultation fortyfive minutes. Dr. Barker said the condition of the General's throat admitted of freer examination than for many days. The laryngoscope was need, and by the aid of a Btrocg light reflected into the throat, toe development of the ulcer was noted. The ulceration has not made mnch prozreas daricg the last two days, though there baa ben a prsdusi Increase during the week. The inflammation in the throat is not as proncunced as at one time. The patient's condition, Dr. Barker thought, was somewhat better, though it ia still precarious. He is suffering from weakness and exhaustion. "Is there any reason to fear a speedy fatal termination cf tha disease?" "There is no special cause to fear more than in tbe last two or three days, though we most be prepared for emergencies.The following bulletin was issued at 3 p. m.: General Grant has been very quist since the fit of coughing last night, lie has taken hjs nourlsntne&t reRularyly and well as usual; pulse now, 72; temperature, 19. At the consultation just held (Drs. Uarker, and, &brdy and Douglas prekeutj the treatment pursued was approved by all. J. H. Doi'gcas, M. D. G EORG E F. Ell BAD V, M. D. Senator ChaC?e and ex-Senator Rosooe Ccckling called between 3 and 4 o'clock. The latter said the General was quiet, with (to him) no apparent change since last Sunday, when he called. - Ser. ator Leland Standford visited the house in the afternoon, bringing flowers When Dr. Newman called at 11:30 yesterday morale?, he entered tbe library, next to ths General's room, and shook haeds with Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris. "Father," called the latter, "Dr. Newman is here;' whereuton the General walked into.. the library acd greeted Dr. Newman. He remained a few moments and then returned to his rocm with the remark that the a r in the library was too cold for bim. The conversation of the household before the General is always cheerful and plea?ant, and family a Pairs and everyday matters are discasied. The Generalis not dclerious. The General's dream has, by letters from many soothsayers, been interpreted to mean tbat he will live seventeen days, a3 many weeks, and by others as maoy yem; the seventeen being the number of dollars the Geceial bad with which to pay duty on the Eatcbel he left on the wrong side of the fence. Tbe astrologer who prophesied good days and bad ones for the General has thus far been right It was prophesied that if the General survived March 31 hs would live until September. Tbat remains to bs seen . If the patient lives until Bummer, Lslacd Stanford will endeavor to take him to Ca'i.'ornia In a special car. The probably geed results of the western climate on the General's health has been discussed, Senator Stanford urging that the General would be benefitted thereby. At 0 o'clock to night, Colonel Fred Grant, speakiDg tf his father's condition during the day, said tbat be bad couebed a good deal, and had, altogether, a bad day, although the paroxtyem of Saturday night had not been renewed. Tbe Geneial waa very low, but Color el Grant did net apprehend tae end would cone to-night. Four days ao, he said, tbe General, without seeming difficulty, walked from the front to the rear of the house, but each day since he had moved about less, and to day when he walked to the rear of the house through tha hall he stopped to rest before ie turning. Ts be sure, twioe during this afternoon, lha General had walked into his office and remained there an hour at on time and three-quarters of an hour at another, conversing briefly with tJote who were near. Bat on one of these oecs slots, as General Grant left the room atd pateedintothecfSce, he reuaarked: "I can not stand that," referring to the

tweet and pungent odor. Colonel Grant stated that his father had not at any time, been delirious in the sense of impaired mental faeulties, but that be had been much under the ir flunce of morphia for a week, and that in the twenty minutes or half hour aa the influence was passing off, the General wculd experier.ee a dreaming, semi-con-scousness, doring which he might and often did recur in broken sentences to dreams that had been extremely vivid during the influence of the anodyne. A casual caller in the room might catch such disjointed utterances acd regard them as anfevidence ofdeiirium, but thcte who were with the General from the beginning of his awakening to the time the influence passed oil entirely, would be able to follow and fully understand the context and relation of the General's utterances. Bnt Cclonel Grant stated that before morphia was used his father often talked in his sleep or semi consciousness. For instancs at one tirre he spekein this way and said: ' General Wheat, which ia your regiment? Where are your men?" and Colonel Grant explained that at that time hi father tbcu.hthe was at the bittle cf Shiloh, fjr General Wheat was there and Genera' Grit thought le was getting the forces ii ..;.-. atain. This was befo re - morphia was administered to a great ex'.est, Since the ancdjee has been freely used tha General has had similar Illusions, but while recall irg them during the dreamy repose cf waking from sleep by morphia tbe recollection is not eo prompt or vivid. A case in point was menticned by Colonel Grant, that the Influence cf tbe opiat was passing off on Friday or Saturday when tbe General ejaculated: "its the strangest thing in the world," and there stopped, but at Intervals continued to speak: until he had thoroughly awakened, and was, es tbe Col-mel said, clear as a bell. Then the General explained to Colonel Grant that be thought he was out in Indiana and w&s callirgatthe house of Thomas A. Hendricks. Then he began awakening, and slowly recotrnized the furniture ot hia own honEe, when in his dream ha 1 been that of Mr. Hendricks, and then it was that between sleeping and wnl:ingx the General bad ejaculated, "It is the etrangest thing in the world." Colonel Grant, when aEked last evening If itwa8 possib.'e to secure tie General's autograph, replied that it was an impossibility at present, and feared it was too lats. Tha General never wrote except sittln? at the desk in his office, and it was growing more and more wearing to walk to and from tae adjoining rooms. Colonel Grant remarked that he had at leait r00 pictures and albums waiting for his father'a autograph. There were addressed and stamped leiten bearing requests, enough to till a Jarpe dry goods box. but Colonel Grant

doubted if his father would sign anything more, though he might if asked and parmitted by the doctors. At 10:45 Dr. Newman lett the house and proceeded toward Mad son avenue to take a car. In response to a question, he said: "I expect a very anxious rjight; General Grant has bad a bad day, and I think there has teen a recurrence of the coughing. ' Br. Shrady is in the heme, and the General is at this moment quietly deeping. Niw Yobk, April 1312:30 a, re. General Grant has been troubled during the latter part of the afternoon and the entire evening with an increase cf mucous secretion in his throat and has couebed considerably In consequence. He has also suffered fiom two attacks of choking, which were attended with difficult breathing. These were happily relieved by local application and the removal of the phlegm. He ia now dezirg in his chair. After having slept on bis bed for three hours, his pulse ia 72 and tempeiatcre normal. Georce F. Shrady, M. D. lie Keeps on Better and Worse Spells, bat Gradually Crows Weaker. Nrw York, April 13 S:43 a. m. General Grant slept in his chair from midnight until C:30 a. m. He was disturbed occasionally by attacks of coughing with expectoration. He awoke, expref birj g himself as feeling quite comfortable. He has just taken his nourishment without pain, and is resting quietly. Pulse 72, temperature normal. Senator Chaffee left the house at 9:15 a. m. He stated that the disease was spreading. Tbe Senator was with General Grant an hour. There was some pain this morning attending the taking of food. The cancer in the threat was spreading. The General seemed to be weaker than yesterday, and dnring the hour of the Senator' call the patient coagbed only once, and tbe expectoration of mucus wai accomplished without difficulty. So long as the General was nourished as now, tbe Senator believed he would survive until death resulted from the gradual course of the cancerous disease. 2.30 p m. General Grant has somewhat improved in hie general condition Bince the lest bulletin. A slight soreness of the threat during the morning was relieved by cocaine. The secretion of mucus has diminished, and tbe cough has become less troublesome. The patient walked without assistance to an adjoining room, and ea. in the sunlight Pulse acd temperature uncharged. . BURIAL PLACE FOR GRANT. Soldiers' Home Grbnnds-Whlte IIooe Oroaidt-Crypt of the Capitol. Special to the Sentinel. WAsnijroroy, April 10. The proposal that a final resting place for General Grant be selected in the Soldiers' Heme grounds is received here with much favor. It would be a fitting spot in which to lay at rest the mortal remains cf tte great eoldier. Tne grounds are situated a mile or two north of the city. They are beautiful by rature, aad the band of art has added to their attractivetees. Shaely carriage-ways wind through them in every direction, and artificial lakes have been made a refreshing feature of tbe scenery. During tbe summer they are the Eceneof family picnic festivities; and they are a favorite resort cf thoje who seek health and pleasure in pedestrianism. Here may likew'ss bs seen ths equiraefsef the disnitaries cf the land, as well aa family carriages and other vehicles of these who seek a breath of fresh air behind more or less rapid pieces of horseflesh. Tbe gentle rises and falls of the land and the shade of the great trees make the Srfdiera' Heme grounds an espe c'a'ly delightful place in which to enjoy a short drive. It Is intended to eventually make this one of the finest drives in the country. The grounds are very accessible, being situated just north ef the city, and will doubtless share the honors with Mount Vernon as a Mecca of aiht-see-Irg visitors to the National Capital if taey ate selected as the burial place of General Grant, as seenia very likely. It has likewise been suggested that General Grant be buried beneath the Washington National Monument and the White Bouse grounds and the crypt of the Capitol have been mentioned as Utting spots for the site of the grave of the great commander. The crypt of the Capitol was designated by Congress as a burial place for George Washington over forty years ago, but the contemplated removal to the tomb there was never accomplished, although the consent of his family had been secured.
