Whereas , It has baon brought to my
knowledge that unlawful enclosures , niul such
as are prohibited by the terms of the aforesaid
statute , exist upon the public domain , nnd
that actual legal settlement thereon Is pre
vented nnd obstructed by such enclosures and
by force , throats nnd intimidation , now ,
therefore , I , Grover Cleveland , president of

And I command and require that each and
every ollicer of the United States upon duty ,

In testimony whereof I hava hereunto set

TUB GRANT FUMERAti.
COMMENTS OP THK LONDON TOEhS ,
LONDON , August 10. All morning papers
to-day publish copious accounts of the funeral
of Gen. Grant , All agree that the outpouring
of people on the occasion and their deep grief
as indicated by the dispatches was something
wonderful , The Times has a special dis
patch three columns long detailing the scenes
rind incidents of the funeral and prints a lead-
in ? editorial praising and recalling many per
sonal traits of the dead general. It expressed
unbounded admiration for the conduct of the
American peopld concerning the burial
of Gen , Grant and pronouucos tbo funeral
a spontaneous outburst of national admiration
and gratitude which , although it can do
nothing for its actual object , is not therefore
lean to be commended. In conclusion the
Times says : "No other nation and no former
period could have afforded materials for such
a procession as that of _ Saturday , or oven the
physical conditions which enabled its mem
bers to come together , "
A. Presidential Pardon.

police district at tbo presidential election last
November , nnd was convicted of having locked
up in the station house over one
hundred colored men the night be
fore the election. They wore de
tained until after 6 o'clock p. m ,
of the following day , when all were released.
No charge was entered against any of thpm ,
Mullen was convicted in the United States
court for violation of the federal election laws ,
and sentenced to ono year's imprisonment ,
which began January 3 , The pirdon gave as
grounds for the action of the president , the
general good reputation of the prisoner , the
fact that the application was signed by so
many first-class citizens , and that Mullen
probably misapprehended his duties , and
various other reasons.

Special Telegram to The BEE ,
CUIOAQO , August 10 , There was not much
ifo in to day's markotc , all fluctuations being
confined to narrow limits through scarcity of
outside orders and the non-receipt of any
news of a disturbing character , Receipts were
moderate ; tha last half hour was the weakest
of the session.
Wheat opened weak and lower under lusher
quotations on British consols , fine weather and
the encouraging outlook for crops. There
wore almost no buying orders from the out
side , and trading was very lilit. Prices re
mained at about the < pjninz figure to a frac
tion above , there being so little business doing
that prices were povernod almost exclusively
by tha sale of privileges.
Foreign cables were firm , but seemed to
have no effect on the market. The whole
range was but go. Dispatches to Armour from
his northwestern agents reported the general
crop outlook decidedly improved and harvest
ing operations about three-quarters over with.
Through the lightness of outside orders
trading was confined largely to the local
crowd , none of whom distinguished them
selves. No. 2 spring sold at 87c. The chol
era scare came in during the last hour , induc
ing liberal selling and the breaking of values
down to the lowest points of the morning ees-
elon.
elon.Corn
Corn attracted about the usual attention ,
and in sympathy with other grains during the
bulk of the morning session ruled steady at a
shade under Friday's closin ? prices. No , 2
oath sold at 17J@47ic.
Oats are quiet and Inclined to he slow at a
decline of J@jjc from Friday' * quotations.
Provisions showed a little more life than on
Friday , but wore still quiet. Receipts con
tinue heavy , while shipments as a rule in the
hog product are light. Durintr the early part
of the morning session there was a temporary
spasm of weakness induced by like conditions
in grains , but a few sizeable purchases soon
reacted the market to its former firmness.
In the afternoon there was afirm feeling ,
caused by a good local and southern demand.

it found the president of Ecuador rather dis
inclined to a reciprocity treaty , because- his

The cainmisoion found that a treaty with

commission Intended to ascertain , if possible ,
what were tbo actual facts roepectlng the

of it , and report its findings to parlia
ment without formulating a trade
policy , The commission would be com-
posoa of men the best able to make the

ment that by appointing it the Rovernmeu f

that , parliament could by leg
