bulent, be enlisted Into the military under the command of some experienced oritur. Tha Indlaus will receive the
mil lutv aa soldiers of the regular army,
and It Is believed that employment of thU nature will divert their minds from
inlsflilef.
It Is understood tlmt the removal ol Annt Dver will also be recommended.
No reflection on the personal Integrity of the agent Is Intended In this .suggestion, bat It Is perfectly clear that the agent
has lost his luttuenco over the Indians,
and equally clear that lie can sever re train It. It Is reasonably sure that Gen
eral Sheridan, General Mtlos and Insolictor Armstrong will concur In the
opinion already expressed In these dispatcher, that the illegal cattlo land leases are the chief cause of all the trouble
here, and will report that they should be abrogated. The enumeration of the Indians to-day Is looked forward to with a pood deal ol Interest as It will Indicate the control which the Government, speaking through
the General ol the army,has over the redskins here. The Cheyenncs are koIur
into camn alonz the north bank of the
Canadian River, and the Arapatroes along the south bank. The Indians will be re. oulred to come out of their teepees by
bands. The name of the leader of each band will be taken and the remainder of
the band counted.
General Sheridan reviewed all the
troons here vesterday morning. The
ceremony was carefully watched by some of the Indians. Inspector Armstrong received a dispatch from Camp Supply late

that arrangements were making to rein

General Grant can not sit down lor

everything, and speaks in a whisper.
Mt. McGrkCor, July 21. At midday
General Grant said he felt that he could
endure his condition of weakness but a
short time longer, and then requesteu
the physician to administer a hypodermic
laiectlon of morphine. Dr. DouglaR was - . . a . . . V. I .. .........

because he believed that sleep and rest produced by artificial means would too rapidly dralh the vitality of the patient,
and, more man mis, ur. jning. irc-
ferrcd that his patient snouiu isse iuuu
rather than opiates, and requestea tne
General to do so. lhe General declined and Insisted upon the administration of morphine. At length, to satis

minims of the drag, uut it was really a slight jwrtloii only, diluted In the usual three drops
of liquid, and It was Injected Into the
General's arm. xuen tne uencrai grew more quiet and seemed to sleep, and then it was the physician left the cottago and reported his patient exceeding weak.
The quietude, no we ver, was not protract
ed. The General was attacked during me
forenoon with hiccoughs, and tne sleep which followed the giving of morphine
was followed by renewed awcouguing. Attempts were made as the afternoon was waning, to give the Geuerat food. He ioiued In the endeavor, but the
quantity retained was small. vnen , he took a goblet full of the liquid, Its own weight distended the throat and food pr.ssed down, but when
the last few mouthfuls were ueius drained from the glass the welaht and fullness of the liquid was not sulflclent
to distend the parts, and tnoy cioseu, because the muscular power of the throat was insuilklent to keep an open passage. The result was a !-ea-sou of choking and couching, with the ciectlou of a portion of the liquid at
the close oi eaca attempt io jiuhhuiw food.
The condition of the patient may ne

And when told that he had just received food, but that more would be given If desired, ihe General would asaln fall Into a half unconscious do.e, and rautter: Never mind. Never mlad." Mt, McGrkooh, N. V., July 21. At dusk General Grant grew very restless. He was not content to keep his chair, as was the case early In the day, but wanted to move to his cot and to other chairs. He was not able to walk unaided, nor scarcely to rise, and seemed unable to compose himself In any place nve minutes at a time. It was decided about eight o'clock to chansehlm to the parlor, and alt the family assembled there with Dr. Ken-man. The General soea beau to catch for breath, and there were plain signs that he was sinking. Fans were used vigorously upon him, but for half an hour he showed no Imnrorement. Then his breathing became
easier, and he fell asleep. That was the turning point of the early evening. After It he slept and awoke at short Intervals, the family going to his side vbcuever he awoke, not knowing what it might mean, lie showed no signs of gaining strength although occasionally of repose that promises! to prolong his hoars. . . .
It was the opinion of Goionei ttranu
all the evening that his father could not live through the night. Dr. Douglas
gays he may last twenty-iour nours. yS. Grant, Jr., was summoned early la the evening. At 11:80, ou waking from a short nap, General Grant sent word i to the family, who were on the porch, that there was, no use In their sitting up any Ioniser. The family asked Dr. Douglas what he thought. He would give them no assurance. All except Coloael Grant concluded to retire. Hcv. Dr. Newman, who then left the cottage, said that from seven to nine all indications were that the General was dying. Prayers were read, the General clasping his hands' while the familyknelt around him. Dr. Newman said that neither Mrs. Grant aor he could believe that the General was dying, even while he sank before their eyes. H thinks the night will pass safe y.
