Special Telegram to the BEE. NEW YOBK , Sept. 18. The World aaye : Ex-Senator Chaff ee hu just gone homo nftoi spending some time in Now York. During bia it&y here ho visited Grant's tomb. "Now York. " ho said afterwards to a reporter ' 'is ' purely a commercial city , and looks upon everything from a commercial standpoint. Her citizens will never contribute a million dollars for P monument. If the money is to bo raised , Now York people must contribute. No aid need bo expected from other states , and yet , let his rcma'na ' ba removed to Wash ington and money conld bo raised insldo of thirty day a. I would guarantee that the state of Colorado would give more to the fund than the whole state of Now York , rich as she ia. But it la not necessary tomake comparisons reflecting ou New York. The people of the country do not believe New York is a proper place for thq general's tomb , and they will not contribute money for n monument for that reason , believing thit the buti.il site mast ultimately bo changed. " "Is that idea still agitated ? " "Yes , it is , and I think it will be success fully carried out , When congress meets steps will bo taken to obtain Mrs. Grant's consent to the removal. I do not think it will be bard to got , and as soon as she docs consent tbo change will bo made at once. " "But whbt of the general's mrnsagn to Col. Fred indicating his preference for New York as the city that befriended him in time of hi * need ! " "All stuff. I don't ' believe he over wrote tuch a inassnpo. I talked with the general on tbo subject before his death. He never oven so much aa mcntionod Now York. His pref erences were West Point , Washington or Ga lena , The soldiers' home will eventually bo the resting place for Gen. Grant's rcinninp , " "What io the Grant boys going to do ? " "Fred Grant will bo kept busy for some time superintending the publication of bis father's book and looking after the family in terest in It. lie got a lot ot dates and interesting information lolat'ngtotbewar and his fatber'ii campaign. Ho will prepare fpr publication an nppendix to the general's book , but nothing more. To continue the list , Josaio Grant , the recond son , has gone to Turkey to take a position as civil engineer on a railroad. If he succends ho may make a handsome thing of It. U , S. Grant , Jr. , the youngeat , , and who is my son-in-law , is stay- lug out in Wcstchestur county on tbe farm I gave my daughter aa a wedding present. The farm Is a peed one and consists of 240 acres. He ia managing that at present , but Is look ing around for son.ething else. He istj in an awkward position , for he cannot ongaeo in any tuiiocss ai long aa tha great debt of Grant & Ward hangs over bis head. " "Did the failure of Grant & Ward shorten the general's days any , do you think. " "The doctors have given their verdict , let mo give mine. Cancer was hnally but not primarily the cause of Grant's death. There was a greater cancer growing at his heart an A causing him far more pain than tbe one in the throat. You can form no idea how the Ken- eral took the failure and the botraval of his trust placed in supposed irienda , No one will ever , know the extent of his anguish , not even hla own family , for he was bravest In their presence. I wai with him after the exposure of Ward. The general would sit for hours ina largo arm chhir , clutch ing nervously with his hands at the arm rests , driving his bnger nails Into the hard wood. It waa a pitiful spectacle. One day ho said to me , 'Cnaffeo , I could kill Waid as I would a snake , I believe I should do it too , but I don't wish to be hanged for killing such a wretch. ' It ia said Grant bad ouo object which sustained life In him for months that of finishing bis book and providing for his family. I know .of another. He wished to live to tertify In court against Ward and bring him to jus tice. During hla serious illness in tbe spring he was continually asking me to arrange a hearing for him befoio the grand jury. The grand jury waa not iu session , aud the only way be could have given his testimony would have been by going before a police magistrate. He was anxious to do that oven at the time when no could not lift himself from his chair , I put him off thon.hut he again reminded me of it when he got a little bettor and urged mete to arrange a hearing for him. I thought It host to wait awhile , but soon it waa too latn. Ho had pmsed beyond all earthly cares. It was not tbe losa of money that affacted Grant so deeply ; It was the tarnish on his name and the thought of leaving hla wife aud family in absolute poverty. Thia preyed upon bis mind aud so weakened him that cancer found little resistance in its deadly progress. " EcnutliiK tlia Jtle * of Removal. Special Tolf gram to the BEK. NEW YOIIK , Sept , 18. Among the letters which were received to.day by tbe secretary of the Grant memorial fund , waa one from General W , T. Sherman expresiiog the atti tude of the Grand Army of the Republic In regard to the fund for the erection of a monument ment at thia city. It had been stated tbatall membsra of tbo Grand Army would bo re quired to devote their subscriptions to a special monument to the memory of General Grant , which would be erected solely by that organization , therefore General Sherman felt it incumbent upon himself to explain tha mat ter as follows : "General Burdotte' * orders to the Grand Army regarding their monument la nut Inimical to the national monument at New York city. We must count on their being several monuments. " It waa further Intimated iu General tiherrnan's letter that tbo citizens of New York mutt bear tha main portion of the ex panse for a monument huro , but lit ) could not nppoto tha plan of securing tubscriptloca for it from all sections of the country. Speaking of Senator CbauW * idea of re moving tbe remains of General Grant from Klvtreldo park to Washington , the seoietary of tha Grant monument association siid : "Tbe proposition Is simply absurd. Such an utrtga upon prevailing nubile sentiment could never be tolerated. Gen. Gmnt'd remains luve been deposited in a place selected by his family and generously donated by the city , acd they will never be removed to Washing ton or any other place , " A Train uf Burntni ; Oil.

The ex amination was cbiefly conducted by Judge Sivage , who waa materially assisted therein by Mr , llatmn , who Is himself a mine owner and familiar with the subject of miners' griev ances.

The Chinese- consul nt San Francisco , Colonel Bee , and the Chinese coneul at New York , are hero with a Chlneao Interpreter , to make n thorough investigation on bshalf nf the Chinese government of all the circumstances connected with the outbreak. They are ordered here by the Chinese legation at Washington. Colonel Bee has already had ; he remains of some of the Chinamen who were killed oxhumed. It waa found in two instances that the skulls of tha Chluamsn wore fractured , indicating that they were iilkd m a struggle at close quarters. The consuls have offered a reward ot Si5 each for additional bodies found in the vicinity. Accurate returns 03 to the ) number of Chinamen killed cinnot jet bo made , but so far as can be now learned , , heie are fifteen misting and the whole num- jer killed 18 twenty-five , Col. Bee has mudoup his mind , from con versations with citizens and officials , that any attempt to bring tbo offenders to jus tics .hrough the local authorities will fail. It is its Intention to telegraph the state de partment , U rough tha legation , asking for uore vigorous treasures for the prosecution of the ciiminals by the United States courts un der the provisions of the treaty with China. 3ul. Bee eaya that all of the proceedings that lave been had In the matter so far are a bold arce , and unless this matter Is taken in hund 17 the United States authorities there will ba nothing done , Ho finds eleven of the grand ury before wh.-m the cases of the men ilready arrested will go are citizens of Rock Springs , many of them miners , all of them sympathizers with the rioters , while of the letit jury fourteen of the twenty-four are rom Kock Springe. Col. Bee states as one of the remark ible results of the inquiry that of the men engaged In the outbreak , not ono was an American born citi zen. He deems it especially significant that he outcry against the Chinese , which is do- lended upon to justify the outrages , cornea com men who are not themselves natives , and many of them not citizens of the United States.
