Special dispatch to THE BEE.
NEW Yonu , May 7 General Grant ia
peraonally financially ruined. Tina is
certain ; the firm In which hia name ap
peared ia involved in a great scandal , and
owea beaidoa probably $700,000 , Ferdi
nand Ward has turned up , but it la
certain that there has been an enormous
rohypothecition of collaterals , just aa
there waa in the case of Bonner & Co. ,
and Netter & Co. In those cases , it
will bo remembered , both Bonner and
JNottor ran away. The failure of Grant
& Ward wa3 not caused by the collapse of
Marino bank , but the Marino bank waa
GUTTED AND ROBBED
by the firm of which Grant WAS the gen-
tril : partner. It is aaid here that Grant's
city roaidonco and hia Long Branch
property are in the name of Alra. Grant.
The § 250,000 fund gotten up by Jonea ia
guaranteed by the eatato of ex-Governor
Morgan , and cannot bo touched. The
amazement at the huge scandal grows at
every minute. It ia the most stupendous
in the of the . It ia said
arc- * ; * . . hiutory city. that
ono bank in Brooklyn which placed yes
terday S300.000 of aocurietiea with Grant
& Ward for a loan are unable to got
either the money or collateral.
GENERAL
waa again at the ofli"o at 0 o'clock this
'N , morning. Ho was informed of the diffi
\ . culties of the firm early yestorday. Ho
reached the firm's office about noon and
remained in the private office until 2
o clock , when ho stepped into a carriage
and was driven homo. Ho was ai calm
iv usual , but declined to talk about the
trouble. Many offers of aid were made
the ox president , but ho oaid that he did '
not feel at liberty to accept any of them
until the true position of afl'jira could be
ascertained. Ho stato1 ! very circumstan
tially that if the firm wont underGeneral
'Grant ' would
LOSE A Q0AUTBU OF A 51ILUOX.
The extent of General Grant's financial
l-l Ifcaoa is well known to hU fiiends here
and in Washington , aa may bo seen from
the fact that in the senate thia afternoon
Senator Edmunds asked that a bill
placing him on the retired Hat be consid
ered at anearly day.
THE MARINE COIjtjAPSE.
WEDNESDAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.
NEW YOUK , May 7. All information
concerning the future ia rofuaod by the1
officers of the Marino bank. Notice waa
posted on the bank doora from the
EvoreitbankoP.BoBton.Ba { | ikof Commerce
of Connecticut , and Davidgo & Dalna ,
stating that drafts , checks , etc. , on the
defunct imnk drawn by those parties will
bo honored on presentation at the Hano
ver and Metropolitan banks , and the last
named firm. Manager > Gamp , of
the clearing houae , states there are no
new developments in the Marino bank
failure , but the situation is not nearly BO
bad as at first aupposed. It ia now stated
on excellent authority that President
Pish exhibited undue haste in closing
the doors of the bank and the directors
would not have consented to hia
action , had they been made aware of
the exact ) atatua of affairs. The aamo
ia eaid to bo true of the Grant & Ward
failure , which it ia claimed waa brought
about by Ward remaining away from
business and practically losing hia head.
Tito president and director of the Ma
rino bank are in secret session. An offi
cial states it ia moro than probable that
the bank will come put all right. Depo
sitors are being paid in full.

THE EFFECT.
NEW YOUK , May 7. Conservative
brokers say that the effect of yeetorday'a
failures are very much over-estimated M
far aa the stock rxchanon ia concerned.
but believe it may induce some out of
town selling by weak holders. It is re
ported tlut several large bear operators
took advintavo of the decline yeatorday
to cover up shorts , and itxpreiaod a deter
mination to keep out of the market until
they can see their way moro clearly.
JIOllE ATTACUUEMTH ,
The supreme court to-day granted aev-
oral attachments against the property o
Ferdinand Ward , of Grant & Ward
brokers. The first granted waa in the
suit of Horace 0. Ilotchkias and Jai. B
Bornham against Ford. Ward , U. S
Grant , jr. , , li s. U. Fi h , U. S. Grant and
\Vm. 0. Rmitli , to recover 81,225 fron
defendants as drawcra of a cheek upoi
the Marino national bank. The check
waa delivered to plaintill'j , presented a
the bink and payment refused. They
charge on information nnd belief that
Ward haa left the atato with intent to defraud
fraud creditora , nnd had removed 1m
property with like purpose.
The next attachment is in suit by Thco
Wilson & Co. , to recover § 1,200 , money
deposited for stookB. Those stocks hat
been borrowed and Wilson & Co. offered
to return the stock yesterday , and de
manded the money deposited , but Ward
it Grant refused to receive the stock or
return tlio money.
The third granted ia in the suit of
ETcaMi it Q'lincy , brokers , to recover
$548. Thia money waa owed plaintiff : !
by defendants , and the latter refused to
pay.
A llETTEll TACB ON A1TA1US.
The directors of the Marino bank are
atill in session. The bank oxaminora do-
clinolo say anything. The dcpoaitora
eay there ia no doubt the bank will pa >
the depositors in full. It ia tUted the
affairs of Grant & Ward are turning out
better than auppoabd. The firm expected
to procure a largo loan which would car
ry them along. The loan wna not obtained
tainod , and Ward gnvo up. It ia now
thought the assets will go further than
expected.
F1H1I EVIDENTLY A SUCKEH.

and finding

ing his defalcation amounted lo § 750,000 ,
lie decided the beat thincf to do was to
cloao the bank and aavo it from utter fail
ure. The captain aaid the directors only
regretted that Fiah had not called a
meeting of the board aud aubmitted mat
ters to them before ho BO hastily decided
io close the bank. Although Ward waa

NEwYouK , May 7. The Mnil niu
Express to-day publishes a two column interview
terviow with General Grant on the politi
col situation , The interview was hue
yesterday before the news of the finnncia
dillicultics on Wall street ro.ichod him
Grant was found in his ollico on the = corner
nor of Broadway nud Wall streets , where
ho makes tri-weckly visits. Ho is stil
using crutches , looks somewhat thin ant
hns lost flesh since the arcidont , but his
complcction la clear nnd ruddy nnd ho is
in fine spirits. The inevitable cigar was
in his mouth , na ho rapidly and freely
answered the questions of the reporter.
rnosi'EiuiT.
' "IIow do you regard the present con
dition of the country in general ? ' was
asked.
"Well , I suppose the country is gen
erally prosperous .outaido of Wall street.
True , the producers are not getting very
high prices for 'their products , but their
supphoa are abundant and manufacturers
are busy in nil directions and I think the
condition of the country on the whole
quito satisfactory , and I think the popu
lation will increase right along , and al
the rate of increase the past fifteen
years the country at the end of the pres
ent century , that is sixteen yearshpnco ,
ought and probably will approximate
100,000,000. "
"What particular portion do you look
for the greatest change within that pe
riod ? "
I think the change will bo all ever ; in
all directions ; They are uniform. Now
York City will of course retain the as
cendency over all other places in the
country and I expect the people living al
the end of the present centary will BOO
New York tha financial center of the
world. The entire western country ia
being rapidly built up now. For grazing
and agricultural purposes the great wesi
is far ahead of what the people imagine
in fact they never dreamed of its groai
fertility. Then the whole country nlonj
the northern bordera of the UaitcdStates ,
for three hundred mi lea south ol
the British possessions , aa far as the
vallnys stretchis wonderfully productive.
The sou them states have developed won
derfully in the past fifteen years. I BOB
no roison why the southern states at the
end of the century would not bo the load
ing manufacturing section , particularly in
cotton fabrics and iron in all forms. I
have no doubt that the development that
will take place in Mexico will bo aa rapid
n the future as it was on our own Pacific
co < ist when wo first acquired it ,
ind Iwant to sen the relations
> otweon that country and ours the most
cordial of any in the world. If they nro
not so it will bo our own fault. Wo
should do everything to secure the confi
dence of the people of Mexico. The
mcro prosperous tlio Mexican people are
the bettor pleased wo shall bo , and the
moro it will add to our iudividual inter
est. "
T E MOUMON QUESTION.
"NVhatdoyeu think of the Mormon
question ? "
' 'I think the surest and beat remedy
will be to take away from Utah the pres
ent territorial government and govcrnjtho
orritory by a commissioner aa they du in
ho District of Colnmbia ; then unforco
he nnti-polyamy laws and such laws aa
congress may present. "
COXRTITUTIONAL AMUNKMENTS ,
"Can you point out any existing effects
n our constitution and suggest reme
dies ? "
"Yes , there are acveral amendments
hat would bo of advantage to the coun-
ry if they were adopted , although
. don't bplievo In tinkering with
hat institution , and nm opposed to inno
vation except in cases ot great necessity ,
'hero is ono amendment I consider of
Treat benefit , and that ia ono that would
make the presidential term ono of seven
rears instead of four , with a provision
hat the president holding 7 years there
xftor should bo ineligible. I would sug
gest another amendment euch as I
ecoramondcd when I occupied the vxo-
: utivo chair , which was to the oflcct that
n event of failure by congress to pass
any regular appropriations in ono year ,
hen the appropriations corresponding
rith those of the previous year bo con-
linuod until such time as appropriations
nay bo passed. Another amendment I
aver ia one also recommended during
ny term of ofllco , authorizing the presi
dent to approve a portion of any act of
congress and withholding his approval
rom nil portiens of the act ho does not
approve.TUB
TUB MISSION OP TUB I'AUTY.
"What of the stability of the republi
can party , general ? '
"I don't think the mission of the ro-
lublican party yet fulfilled. Nor will it
) o so long a * the states latvly in robol-
ion ara solidly with one party , without
regard to platform or principle. "
TJIB I'HKWDENCV.
"Now , general , ' ! would like your views
on the pending presidential campaign ,
and the claimtt of the various gentlemen
whoso names are mentioned in connection
with the republican ticket ? "
General Grant here paused , took a few
deep puff/ , held his cigar aloft.and after
a few momenta' thought replied :
"Well , I dnn't ro to say much on
that subject. If the republicans make a
who selection , they will carry tbo next
election. I Ihink our prospocta bottoi
than they were four nnd oitht ? yearsnoo. '
"May I nsk your opinion of President
Arthur's administration ? "
"I prefer not to criticise it. "
ron IOOAK.
'May I ask then what your preference
may bo I"
"I decidedly favor Logan. There nro
great prejudices against him nt the pres
ent time , because ot his vote on the infla
tion bill , but if ho is nominated I think
hia record on the financial nuostion clear
through from thoboginningcAn bo shown
to bo entirely satisfactory to those repub
licans who oppose him now. Ho ia n
man of ability and n man of courage to
maintain his conviotiona nnd ono who is
not awayod about by cviry passing
brcezo. " .

WASHINGTON , May 7. The attention
of Senator Pendloton , author of the nun-
ate bill to establish consular nnd other
courts , and to dofiuo their jurisdiction ,
wns called to-day to a dispatch from Con-
stantinnplo saying the Ottoman minister
at Washington had protested against the
bill nnd the Porto would not recognize
the views of America Pendlcton aaid if
the protest had boon made it wna doubt
less based on a misapprehension.
Mr. Hitt ( Iliavns in charge of n nm-
iliir measure pending in the house com
mittee on foreign ul\ira. ( Ho aaid the
original treaty with Turkey was framed
in 1830. The document , which wns sub
mitted to the oonato for ratification , con
ferred ample juriadiutlounl power upon
Americjn ministers nnd consuls in crim
inal caaoa to which American citizens
were parlies , but when the puwor was
sought to bo exercised 30 years ago , the
Turkish authorities made the point that
the Turkish version contained no such
provision.
The discrepancy appears to have grown
outof the translation of a certain Turkish
word. This , Hill assumed , was the basis
of the Ottoman minister's protest. In
the case at Smyrna , which arose under
the treaty , it was found impossible to re
concile the conflicts of jurisdiction and
the alleged criminal was placed in jail
from which lie escaped during the night.
Both parties coming at it ia the only way
out of the entanglement.

NEW YOHK , May 7. Distance
from Father Point to Quebec ,
where the steamer Titania with the crow
of the wrecked steamer State of Florida
ia expected to land , being nearly 300
miles , makes it doubtful whether par
ticulars of the disaster can bo leatned
until a Into hour to-night. Austin Bald
win & Co. , general agents of the State
Line Steamship company received a des
patch , adnplicato.of that received by the
associated press. It reads :
' PATHKU POINT , Quoboo , May 7. Steam-
hip Titania , inward bound , has on board
twoutyfour of the crow of the steamship State
of Florida. Tim latter collided with n bark
in mid-ocean and wont right down. Out of
107 souls only forty-four wore saved ; of the
other twenty have boon picked up , The baric
also wont down with twelve souls. The survi
vors will bo landed in Quoboa to-night.
These dispatches are not inconsistent
with the report 'inado by the City oi
Homo that the ship which signaled hot
iii mid-ocean had on board n portion oi
the crow of the State of Florida , but on
the other hand corroborates that story
and lead s to the conclusion that twenty
not picked up by the Titania , were res
cued by another vessel. The agonta can <
not account for the collision , aa the
seamen , of the State of Florida were al
trained , and the ofTicers , from captain
down , were experienced careful men.
' : FAUTHEH POINT , May 7Tho Titan'u
remained hero BO short a time that ouli
brief particulars were obiainod. Twontj
other supposed survivors who were in an
other boat , were picked up by some othoi
vessel. The bark 'a name is unmiown bj
any of those on the Titania. ThoTitauir
will arrive at Quoboo about 8 o'clock to
night , but only exchanges pilots there
ind proceeds to Montreal. It is prnlm-
} le tliat the survivors will bo sent ashore
at Quebec with a pilot boat and put in
charge of the proper authorities.
TORONTO , 11:30 : A. M Advices from
father Point says the Ti'ania ' having to
< o to Quebec with no delay will probably
each that city at 9 o'clock to-night if the
conditions continue favorable. It will be
mposaiblo to got a statement regarding
the circumstances under which the colli
sion and disaster occurred or to lourn the
names of the survivors until then.
