NEW YORK, May 17.--There is much excite
ment in Wall street in consequence of the failure
of the German banking house of Schephnler .ss
Co. This firm is largely short of gold. The
general estimate of their short contracts on gold
is $S,000,0O0. 1t is understood also that they
were short of Government bonds, and had a
considerable amount of bills of exchange out.
The greatest excitement and confusion pre-
vail, and this failure has caused an unsettled
feeling in all departments. The gold market
was the first to feel the effects of the failure.
AT the opening there was a perfect rush to
buy, which carried the premium to 1899. but
IL soon declined to 1419S. 1t is estimated that
the Bank of England directors, at an extraordi-
nary meeting, had advanced the rate of interest
to 8 per cent. Money easy. Exchange firm az

Ills Arrival I'm New fork-Contempiated Visit

President Grant and General Porter arrived in this
city yesterday morning from Washington. The Pre-.
sdent was accompanied from the national capital
to this city by Attorney General Hoar, Senator
Cole, Of California, and Senator Spencer, of Ala.
bama.
From the Desbr0sses street ferry the President
and General Porter proceeded Immediately to the
residence OF Mr. Corbn, where Mrs. Grant and
family have remained since their departure from
Saratoga.
The President passed yesterday quietly, and in the
afternoon took drive to the Park. He has not
definitely decided whether he will leave this city
this evening and become the guest Of ex-Secretary
Borie at Philadelphia until Monday or take the train

next day by stage to Washington Washington

during which time the President will probably pay 3
visit TO his father ct COviugt0n, Ky.
1t is now intended to return TO the national capt.
tai by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The Presi-
dent In Pennsylvania until reaching his destination
Will be socially the guest OF Senator Cameron. The
facilities OF travel have been arranged for him by
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad under the drec-
ton Of Thomas A. Scott.
The Executive mansion is now in such condition
as DO entirely uninhabitable with any degree Of
comfort or safety The President has been receiving
his ministers and visitors In the library while General
Porter has been using Of the private apartments
OF the building for his offlce. The anterooms and
oilces are completely torn up, and are undergoing
very necessary coating OF fresh lime and plaster,
es well as new garb OF paint and varnish. The
building is exceedingly damp, and consequently I'M
healthy. Directions have been given to make fires
In the furnaces the course OF Two or three davs
and to keep them up until the mansion Is perfectly
dry. It Is extremely doubtful whether the building
will be habitabe early as the President anticipates.
The change OF General Sherman's appointment to
the War ONCE from al interim to one IN fact was
accustomed by the desire Of the President to make
up his mind completely as to who shall be the sue
cessOr OF the late distinguished incumbent. The in
vestment Of General Sherman with the full powers
OF Secretary obviates the possibility Of o VIOLA
ton Of the law of 1868 or the selection
OF new member of his Cabinet In I'M
due haste. The law respecting al interim appoint
ments limits the duration or such appointments to
ten days. The President is not likely to make
selection until his return to Washington. Ii Is I'M
derstood that the choice will fall upon one who
served IN the war. The chances OF General Dodge
do not seem so bright as was originally supposed.
All specuations in regard 20 the person are at
present useless as the President Is In the habit
Of saying beforehand who he intends to appoint.
