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. "

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 , "

by Mr , llatmn , who Is himself a mine owner
and familiar with the subject of miners' griev

the citizens and miners to present their griev

ance.Tho government directors decided upon the

to Secretary Lamar :
The undersigned government directors o !
the Union Pacific railway , pursuant to law ,
report that wo have made Investigation upon
the spot into the alleged outrages recently oc
curring at this plnco. We find such a condi
tion of affairs here aa. in our opinion , endan
gers the property of the road and jeopardizes
Lha interest of tha govern
ment , und calls for prompt interference.
We therefore deem it important that full
authority should ba given the proper officers
to afford ample assistance to the managers in
their efforts to protect the property of the
company and conduct the buelncisofthoroad.

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.
Under instructions from the attorney
; oneral , United States District At-
, orney Campbell ome up ( rom Chey-
inne this morning to assist the
Chinese contulls In their Investigation of the
affair. Adjutant-General Williams , ot Gen-
iral Schofield's stuff , has wired General Scho-
ield a statement of the situation , and eivon

of guard duty to bi done 100 more noUiers

CiuoAno , Sept , 18 , Tbo movement in wheat
to-day was n very light one , and its signifi
cance waa light also ; in fact the market Is
slowly becoming monotonous This morning
It opened go off , sold down to 83o for Novem
ber , which was the put price , and then rallied
under privileged buying to about opening
figures , where it stuck for n long time. The
bears made an onset en the market early to
try and get it through and beyond the put
barrier , but the bulls mbt them bravely nnd
tucceedcd in holding their works , Xiverpool
was quiet , but c/vgoca were firmly hold , and
Gd higher on Caliiornia , London dealers evi
dently want some of the golden grain of the
Pacific coast , for they have now advanced the
price of that kind of wheat 3 cents a
bushel in two days , and at the same
time have lowered the pitce of our red winter
lie. a bushel. The secret of this move ia
duubtlesa an endeavor to stimulate California
shipments and discourage Atlantic exports.
That California wheat tmxea with India wheat
In just the right way to make a splendid qual
ity of flour , and as London dealers can get all
they want at very low figures , they can nflorcl
to bid up the California article , espetinlly aa
Pacific grain men are Inclined to hold their
wheat for higher prices nnd have not boon
shipping ns much at usual of late. Now York
and St. Louis early wore weaker than this
market , but strengthened some when they dis
covered the tendency to hold the fort hoio.
