r.LEGRAPmIc ITEMS.

Neeh stNo IAC was htOiNiO"OU Wv
Philadelphia upon his arrival and is re-
ported as having talked as follows about
the third term: The third term was a
thing that General Grant never talked
about 1t was never subject of con-
versation All this socalled thrd-term
movement was unknown TO us, because
we had no consecutive news, only stray
Cling items. Since May last the Cen
eral rarely saw an American paper,
being most OF his time in middle China,
Japan and India. The only thing about
home matters that interested him then
was the Nicaragua Canal scheme. OF
this he heartily approved, and myself
sent, at his request, to Admiral Am
mon, his dear friend, II approve" by
cable. If De Lesseps could build the
canal by that route, he hoped he would;
but, says General Grant, ''He can't;
nature is against him." Again recUr-.
ring to the third-term subject, Mr..
Young remarked, in answer to the
question whether General Grant had
not been in constant correspondence
with prominent politicians and other
''boom organizers" for Grant: '"Any-
body who knows General Grant we'll
would never think of writing to hm
about politics, because they would knox
that such a thing would be regarded as
a presumption. He Is man who de-
cides those things for himself. He
seemed to let go of all cognizance of
American affairs from the tine he
reached India. Therefore it is aot at
all Surprising that either he or | should
absolutely know nothing of this third
term business.
