False Report of Gen. Grants Death.

bulletin board about eleven O'Clock this morning,
and hung out upon the iron railing on Pennsylva-
MA avenue in front OF the Merchants and Bankers
telegraph Office:
''NEw YORK, July 19.-Gen. Grant dropped dead
at 1880 I'm. on the street."
The report spread very rapidly, and very soon

eagerly inqurlng for later Intelligence. and the
eXciteme ran quite high. None OF the telegraph
offices except the Merchants and Bankers seemed
to have any information on the subject
A little before noon fresh dispatch was pasted
on the board. 1t read:
'LATER.-Rumored death Of Gen. Grant by apo
plexy denied by members OF the family"
This Information did not spread as rapidly as
that contained in the first dispatch, but during
the afternoon matters began to quiet down. The

The New Naval Uniforms.

CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT so EXPENSIVE AS
THOSE WORN AT PRESENT
As stated in yesterdays STAR many naval OFF,
GERS OF prominence claim that the proposed
changes in the naval uniform will not increase
the expenses OF naval officer, but will reduce
them. They say that the new regulations mot
yet In force) authorize helmet In place OF straw
hats white caps. and white Cap covers, hereto
fore worn: white duck blouse or service coat In
place OF double-breasted short white Jacket; an
ulster Oyerc0at in place OF q Caban Overcoat, and
cape extending to the knee; and preScrlbes di!-
ferent form or cap with distinguishing marks for
commanding officers. The number OF 1ul dress
sword belts IS reduced from to 4: in other words,
the number OF belts which officer must buy
between the grades OF mdshipm n and rear az
miral Is less by five, and saves him about $75
Those who have the overcoat at present author
lied = only about one IN twenty can con-
form to the proposed change by having belt and
hood htted and buttons changed at q cost OF
about s. The difference between the price OF an
ulster Overcoat and a caban overcoat, with cape
is about s25 in favor OF the former. With the
above exceptions all the articles OF uniform con-
tained in tue proposed change are required by the
regulations at present in fOrce Officers gener-
ally favor new cap. Many officers OF the medi-
cal corps have advocated for years a distinctive
badge Tor tie corps and change in tie color OF
the velvet worn on the sleeve. In many ships
helmets and white blouses have been and are per-
mltted by commanding officers to be worn. The
proposed modifcatiOnS, IT Is said, would seem 10
have been made In the interest OF economy, and
TO legalizc changes which have become popular
