The Grant Reception in chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.--The prospect
is favorable for a procession and fol
decorating. At ten o'clock the Ar
my of the Tennessee began its an
nual meeting at headquarters IN
the Palmer House, General w. T.
Sherman presiding. General Wm'
e. Strong informed the four hund'
red and fifty members present that
they could act as guard of honor
| to General Grant, and follow when
he leaves the line of the procession.
The principal feature of the day ia
the reception of Grant by the citi-
zens of Chicago and the Army OF
the Tennessee. In this reception
all classes will participate, so that
the affair is devoid of political sig
nificance. This was distinctly un-
derstood before the Democrats and
the Illinois National Guard would
consent to take part. The Republi-
cans who oppose the third term OF
Grant for the Presidency are par
ticipating and doing honor to the
great captain and distinguished cit
izen. An address of welcome will
be made by Mayor Harrison during
the afternoon.
General Grant and party arrived
promptly at l O'Clock, during q
heavy rain storm; in a few minutes
the clouds lifted and the sun shone
brightly. A procession was then
formed, as had been arranged, and
marched through the principal
streets. All over the city build
ings, public and private, had been
splendidly decorated with flags,
bunting and evergreens. Nothing
was left undone to give welcome
home to distinguished American.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-A Herald
Washington special says: 1t is un.
derstood that Sherman will urgent
ly recommend in his annual report
the repeal of the law making it
mandatory upon the Treasury De-
partment to coin standard silver
dollars. He will show that not
one-fourth of the amount already
coined has gone into circulation,
and its accumulation is not only be-
coming source of ofannoyance to the
Treasry, but the currency is being
locked up in the most unsatisfacto-
ry manner by the provisions of the
law requirIug the monthly coinage
of not less than two millions of
standard silver dollars, besides i'm
posing a useless tax upon the ca
pacity of the Mint. A discontinue
ance of the coinage of silver would
enable the Mint at Philadelphia to
coin the large amount of gold
which has accumulated this fall.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia Tribune
reporter has interviewed Nuflez OF
the Chilean Legation, who said
By capturing the port of Pisagua,
the Chileans have placed them
selves between the Peruvian forces
at africa, Tacna and Iquique. Al
africa, which is some distance in
land, the Peruvians have abou,
1000 men. At Iquique they have
probably 1900. 1t will now be 1t
the power of the Chileans, as they
have command of the sea, to cut of
supplies from the troops at Iquique
and thus compel them to surrender
A They may also undertake opera
tions against the forces at AFRICA
which the Peruvians will be unable
