GRANTS sFOvEMENTs AND OPINIONS.
He Considers the Potter Investigation
KTseAess mna ROn1fah

New YORK, June 14.-AmOng the passen-
gers who arrived here from Liverpool yester-
day on the steamer Baltic, OF the White Star
line, was Gen. Grants second son, MIR. Jesse
r. Grant, who left this country with his par
ents, when the latter sailed from Philadelphia
last year.
The ex-president will not return till next
spring. He has arranged matters so that he
will evade either too warm or too cold
weather. He will go to Denmark and then to
Norway and Russia during the warm sum-
mer months, and after visiting Holland, Bel
gium and other places on hiS return, will
manage to spend the winter months la the
south OF Europe, very likely in Spain.
He will remain there long enough to avoid
the inclement winter weather of the north,
and will then return to Paris In the beginning
OF the spring, and thence come to this coun-
try,
Mr.. Grant says that his father takes very
deep interest in all that traBspires In the
United States. He is posted as to everything
going on. He does not read an English news
paper at all, the British papers not having
apparently much In their columns that in-
terests him. He does go for the American
papers, however.
Mr.. Grant was asked If his father had heard
OF the investigation of the presidential cleo
tion now progressing In Washington.
'Of course he did"
"Did he express any opinion about this in-
vestigation ?"
well, you know, am not permitted to
utter political opinions In his behalf but
can tell you that he regards the Potter iuyes-
ness He thinks that President Hayes was
duly and legally elected and that this con-
gressional investigation business is all arrant
nonsense"

EXCITEMENT AT ANN ARBOR
Over the Searching Of tine Medical Col
lege-The Faculty BADLY scared.

ANN ARBoR, Mich, June f4.--The exarnina-
tion OF the Medical College here by Detec-
tive Snellbaker, of Cincinnati, has thrown the
faculty and community generally into con-
siderable state of excitement The public in-
dignation everywhere brought to the surface
by the Harrison horror In Cincinnati, has
made the faculty especially nervous just at
the present time, and now to wake up in the
morning and find that Cincinnati detective
and a Cincinnati reporter are here after a
round dozen of Cincinnati bodies, many of
them from prominent families, creates genu-
Inc CONSERVATION in the camp.
Even were IL understood that the faculty
were not cognizant Of the place whence these
bodies came, their position would be suffi-
clently awkward. To have 1t shown or even
tntimated that the gang of "stiff raisers, -
as they are known among colleges, are led by
O. member of the faculty creates intense ex-
element. Detective Snellbaker and your
special correspondent left here to-day for Gin
cinnati, to return with young Devens' friends,
TO complete the work Of Identification. They
also hope to be able to Identify some of the
other bodies, several Of which they believe to
be from Cincinnati. They have left Sheriff
Case, who aided in the search last night, In
charge Of the bodies.
When DR.. Herdman, demonstration OF ana
tony In the medical department OF the uni
verstty, learned this morning that q search
had been made by the officers last night, for
the purpose OF discovering the body Of young
DeveDS, supposed to be somewhere In the In
stitution, he rayed terribly, and demanded of
Sheriff Case to know by what authority he
had invaded the sacred precincts Of the col
lege building without his consent He under
took to bulldoZe the sheriff, who has the writ
ten order to examine the premises. In cases
like the one investigated last evening, it
should be remembered that aside from the po-
sition the doctor holds as demonstrator, he is
engaged In furnishing the students with sub
jects for dissection, and the utmost secrecy Is
enioined as to where they come from. He
denies emphatically that any bodies have
been received from Cincinnati for weeks, and
consequently the one partially identified
could not be that of Devens.

THE PUBLISHED AGREEMENT RR-
LEEVED TO BE AUTHENTIC,

England, Russia and Germany Satisfied,
Turkey Helpless, Italy Indifferent,
Austria Alone Befng Anxious and Dfs-
satisfied.
LONDON, June 14-The text of the agree
ment as published by the Globe to-day is be-
lieved to be authentic, and 1t is now said that
similar secret engagements have been entered
ing Asiatic Turkey.
The opinion is expressed In well informed
quarters that Turkey in Europe will cease to
exist as power, and will become a mere geo.
graphical exposition. 1t is also deemed true
that Russia has abandoned her claims to the
cessiOn OF territory In Asia. and that in this,
as In other provisions Of the bargain, she has
won great victory.
The non-committal reply Of the Chancellor
Of the Exchequer, refusing to say whether the
Gt0beS publication Is authentic, strengthens
the belief In its correctness. It is said that
the Globe did not obtain It's CODY from any
English source, but purchased it from one of
the attaches OF the Russian Legation.
