Grants Reception in Japan.


| Government demonstration the citizens
have given him lavish entertainments
on a sumptuous scale. Every day and
night fresh novelties for his diversion
were given. At the audience OF the
Emperor on the Fourth OF July His
Majesty alluded happily to the coin
cidence of date. The demeanor
of the English officials, who
persistently keep aloof from Grant, and
decline to give salutes OF recognition,
! is not clearly understood, whether
! it is in accordance with orders from
home or otherwise. There is much
comment thereupon, and it is distinctly
| known that Grant is keenly sensitive To
the Sights. Grant visits the shrines of
Niko, and afterwards, it is said, goes TO
Yiezo. He sails for America the last
week OF August.

nous crowd was present to-day at the
unveiling of the statue OF eX-President

terror, declared in his speech that the
Government was resolved to remain
true to the noble ideas OF Thiers; name
lv, Il conservative republic, guarding the
National traditions and just influence OF
France i'm Europe and in the Ghole
world. Jules Simon dwelt upon the
tirmness OF Theirs, in resisting even his
own party when his liberal conserva-
tive convictions were touched. Simon
concluded by saying: France is saved;
she possesses forever Republican
government and liberty to think, teach
and write,that she has issued from
combat. and it is necessary for her either
to vanqush her enemies or to reassure
them that the dctinitive form of the rev.
olution of 1870 is a conservative, liberal
republic, such as NJ. Theirs created.
Martel, President OF the Senate, also
spoke. The speech OF Simon was in
teresting, as justifying his resistance to
Jules Ferry's educational policy by
pointing to the example OF Theirs.

of intending to make bid for the Pre-
miership at the Nancy demonstration.
Russian Military Movements.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 3.-The GGioS
SAYS the permanent occupation OF Merry
would necessitate simultaneous opera
tiOns from Turkestan and the Caucasus,
and as no special preparations are being
made on the Amecr Daria it appears

subsection of the Tekkes. 1t is necessa-
rv, in view OF the English success in
Aighanistan, to form base on the Per
sian border in case England should wish
to take Hcrot.
