War's reman.
Nfcw York, March 22. The rumor of a

the shipments this month in New York

which will exceed the shipments of any one
month heretofore. Engagements of berths
range from 25,330 to 30,000 bushels a day.
General Grant.

more about the trial Jam Fish than
anybody can who re -s cn the published

Helejca, March 19. Great interest is
taken here in a new gold find. The discov
ery was made on the old Blackfoot road,
about four miles from Helena. Six mines
are in the course of development, and stakes
are being set for five miles around. The ore
uas proved so rich that it is taken from the
mines in sacks and shipped without being
put through any process. Th. country ii

tome very promising claims l ave been lo
cated within th- city Ii aits of Helena.
Winter Wheat Prospects .
New York, March 19. The unfavorable
reports concerning winter wheat in Indiana
and Illinois, in the Journal of Commerce
and other reputable journals, are prominent
topics on 'cbonge here. They represent that
in southern Indiana the plants have suffered
severely from alternating thawing and freez
ing. In eleren counties iu Indiana and four
Illinois not even a fair crop is expected.
Reports from eight Illinois and two Indiana
counties indicate that the crop is uninjured;
also that Xitrnersiii the district where pros
pects are most njfavofethie'do not despair of
fair crops, if a few weeks good growing
weather should supervene.
The Bartholdi Statute.
New York, March 20. Interest in the
fate of this Bartholdi statute h been re
Hewed by the announcement that Butler,
secretary of the building fund, sails for
Europe presently, to confer with Birth oldi.
who intended accompanying the statute to
America. Also by the statement that the
Vandarbilts, Eugene Kelly and one or two
other millionaires propose each to be one of
tne twenty contributors giving $5000 each
to complete the pedestal. In the meantime
work on the foundation will be resumed.
The World daily pleads for the fund by
popular tub3Ciiption.
Texas Cattle.
Lampasas, Texas, March 22. The action
of Kansas and New Mexico in establishing
quarantine against Texas cattle is causing
-considerable comment among our business
men. Lampasas is much interested in the
cattle market this spring, as a fair price
and speedy sale will bring the much-needed
relief in business circles. The few buyei s
now here are disposed to wait further de
velopments in the quarantine question
before making purchases. The loss of cat
tie and sheep during the past winter in the
eight or tea stock counties of which Lam
pasas is the business center, will average
about ten per cent. Large stock men, who
have never before cultivated an acre of
ground, are now joining the grangers and
preparing to raise food for the stock.
Noltner, editor of ' diet, who is pr siding in the United States
who wanted to be court where Grant & Ward's silent partner
8 being tried for a violation of the banking
laws. Short-hand no.es of tru testimony
are takeii to the general's house every even
ing anil read to him. It was through Fish's
connection with the swindle that Grant was
drawn into it. He was president of a
leading bank of reputed nlidity and posess
ed considerable wealth. Therefore, when
he seemed t- trust young Ward implicitly
Grant blindly followed his example. To
this day Grant is not clear in his mind
whether fish was Ward's confederate or
victim, and he is a s lf-constituted jury,
determined to convict or acquit the prisoner
on the evidence.
a troubled mind.
General Grant's inability to sleep comes
not so much from the condition of his body i
as from unrest of mind. He has it firmly
rooted he is going out in disgrace and under
clou 1, and all that his friends can say to
him in no wise changes this belief. He
talks freely with certain of his intimatas on
the subject, and tells them of his mortifica
tion aud chagrin that he should have been
luped by Ward, and that so many persons
should have lost money by him. He tells
his dearest friends that the responsibilities
of battle and of leading the armies of the
nation gave no such concern as has this
Ward business that his rest in the White
House in the crctical period when the coun
try was recovering from "lie ett'ects of a
civil war was sweet compared to the rest
that has come to him in the last nine
months. He had hoped that fortuno might
in some manner smile on him, so he might
return to those who had lost the money
thus wasted. He would write, he would
work, he would do anything to remove this
stain from the family; but he was attacked
by a disease that must prove fatal, and soon
he became too weak and too sick to stir out
of the house. So he silently and grimly,
and without a word of complaint, keeps to
his couch and to his easy chair and thinks.
He knows that he must die soon, and he is
oppressed with a fear that he is in disgrace
because of the failure of the firm of Grant
& Ward, through the dishonesty of one of the
partners. He does not seem to fear death,
his friends say, but he does desire to make
good all losses sustained by Grant & Ward.
This thought, and the idea that he is in dis
grace is hastening his death.
THE GENERAL'S CONDITION.
General Grant slept a part of the time
last night in a chair. A consnltation was
had at 2 to-day by Drs. S tui Douglas and
Shrady, and it was generally considered the
patient's throat looked much better. There
has been no pain or sensation of uneasines"
about the throat for a week. Gen. Grant
took some food to-day, but he has no appe
tite, and ate only as a matter of necessity.
When Dr. Douglas saw Gen. Grant to-night
he found bis patient in the .parlor. The
General immediately walked up stairs to
bis room, and said hie felt very tired, as
there has 'been a great many visitors during
the day. He retired shortly after 10, and
Dr. Deuglaa thinu he fell into a refreshing
slumber.
Of Interest to the Pacific Coast.
New York, March 20. It is stated here
that the Pacific Mail Company contemplates
reducing the fare from here to San Francis
co to $75. This will be a reduction of $50
from the present rate. Also that freight
rates be reduced in proportion. This move
is reported to be Jir cte l against the Union
and Central Pacific railroads. Among
rumors in Wall street was one to the effect
that the Pacific Mail intended putting on
weekly steamers, in place of fortnightly
steamers. Another report is that the Cen
tral Pacific to-day formally notified the
Union Pacific that they would hereafter de
mand full local rates on all through business
from the Union Pacific.
WAS.
LETTER.
(From our...-;.... Correspondent.)
Washington, March 13, 1885.
Th.it "hope deferred maketh the heart
sick" is what the democratic office seekers
infesting Washington are realizing now.
The old . iimiiUtiation is not going half so
fast as they thought it would, and their
long petitions aud e idoi? emeuts do nothing
towards hurrying "the rascals out." There
are rumblings of discqntent, and imitterings
of disgust and curses aud thieats, and a
great state of excitement because of the un
certainty that hang over the intentions of
Mr. Cleveland aud his Cabinet in legard to
place giving.
At first the White House was the point
of siege for the mass of office seekeis, but
they so. in learned that the President would
not hear applicants, and they made a rush
upon the new heads of the Departments.
There again they get little satisfaction
beyond a courteous recognition. The new
administration intends to go slowly, and if
the army of rapacious spoils-huuters would
take the hints already throwu out by the
President, it would .sound a retreat while it
has money enough to get home. It is pretty
well understood now that only a few neces
sary appointments ivi'.l Us made at present.
When the importunate office hunters have
gone home, the places to be tilled will be
gone over, and the men selected for them
will not be from among those who charged
upon the President upou his first appear
ance.
The majority of the democratic congress
men are still in the city and will be passing
hack aud forth from their homes during the
entire recess of Congress. They too are
lingering to see just what they are going to
get out of their party success. They have
left the Capitol building and are now as
sembled in the hotel lobbies and about the
White House. Their lack of encourage
ment in their efforts to assist the new ad
ministration in. making changes and appoint
ments has provoked .ome grumbling and
caused many to inquire if New York is
going to run the govern nout The Treas
ury department it now irreverently referred
to as "the New York establishment." The
Secretary and his assistant secretaries are
New Yorkers, aud there is scarcely an office
in the building for which a New York
aspirant has not be?n mentioned. Nor is
there a vaulted corridor that does not echo
to the footsteps of New York office seekers.
The most humiliating feature of the pres
ent situation in Washington is the pressure
for office in person or by proxy, of ex-mem
bers of Congress. Having once tasted the
sweets of official position, few ot them seem
able to restrain their appetites, and the
scramble is at once disagreeable to them
selves and d sgustiug to disinterested ob
servers. Some of the more ambitions ones,
who succeeded in having themselves men
tinned in connection with Cabinet positions,
or leading foreign missions, are now de
scending to assistant secretaryships in tneir
demands, and by and by tbey will be con
tent with a clerkship in one of the Depart
ments if they can pass the required ex
amination. This is the old story over again
of the man who came here in Andy John
son's time to get a foreign mission. By
degrees his ambition dropped to a clerkship.
then to a doorkeepership and finally agreed
to quit nd go home if they would give him
a free ticket and an old pair of breeches.
It was only yesterday that I met a promi
nent democrat who two weeks ago, was con
tident of being Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of
War. Now he is trying to be appointed
government architect. Another such fall
and it is pitiful to think where he may be.
Another disappointment to the expectant
crowds of democratic spoilsmen, was caused
by the administrative reform significantly
leguVltt the White House. I allude of
course to the dismissal of the clerical force
there. It means a dumping off of clerkships
throughout all the Departments, and the
reductions will give much less chance for
place to democratic aspirants."
A democratic President is a curiosity and
on each lay siinv his occupancy of the
White House, President Cleveland has
given some time to receiving the crowds of
people who hive gathered about the Man
sion to cat-h a glimpse of him.
On Wednesday, the long established day
for Cabinet families, the ladies of the new
administration held their first reception.
Mrs. Hendricks received in her parlors at
Willards hotel. Her toilet was a short
dre3s of maroon velvet, and boquets of
roses garnished the ro nn. Among her call
ers were Mrs. and Miss Blaine, Mrs. Logan,
and a number of others prominent in the
society of the retiring administration. Mrs.
Bayard and her two daughters held a
large reception at their home on Massachu
setts avenue. Mrs. Manniug and Mrs.
Vilas received conjointly at the Arlington
hotel, this union of forces bringing a large
company. Mrs. Kudicott was also at home
to receive callers at the Arlington, and Mr.
Garland being a widower, his mother pre
sided as hostess at his home. Secretary
Lamar's family did not receive, and Mrs.
Whitney as not yet arrived in the city.
