of the Senate into the election Of Messrs.

cratic journals have urged such an in
quiry. The Washington Aatl1Hal r.
publican, however, edited BY Mr.. Cor

The Hon. Richard a. Wheeler, Of
S.oniDgton, Conn, has accurately traced
the lineage Of General |. 5. Grant to
the New England Palmers Of the early
colonial days. Walter Palmer came TO
this country from England In 1929. and
was sworn freeman Of Massachusetts,
colony in 1881. His descendants are
very numerous and among them were
two big men-one weighing 600 pounds
avoirdupois, and the other is General
Grant. Over 6,OO0 Palmers have been
found in the United States, and invita-
tions have been issued to ? 900 OF
them, including General Grant, TO a.
tend a Palmer family reunion to be
held in the original Palmer home
stead at Wequetequ0c Cove, near S;on-
ington, on the 10Th aud 18th Of August.
Whether the reunion was planned be
cause Of the Palmers or because Of Gen.
Grant, It IS not known, and it is no mat
ter anyhow. There viii be addresses
and poems, and clans. William Pitt
Palmer will make and recite poem, as
viii also Rev. a G. Palmer, father Of Mr.
A NJ Palmer, Of the Union Square
Theatre. and Gen. Grant is expected to
make a speech. The line Of Shakespeare:
Where do the Palmers lodge, I beseech
your seems TO have set Noyes T. Pal
