presidency of the Nicaragua canal move
ment, in order to give the Grant boom
its quietus. This theory is strengthened
to-day by letter from Consul Mosby, at
Hong Kong, written about the time
Grant left China, in which MOsby says
that if anyone in this country who be-
lieves that Grant is looking after the
presidency of a canal company, instead
of the national presidency, he is an ass
pure and simple.
