The telegraph tells US that Gener-

ais death at any time need surprise
nobody. If this be true, it is bad

Grant. But he remains great Po-
l;tical mower. nevertheless. lie did
not make good President, because
he carried into his political life the
ideas Of the camp, and stood by his
friends Just as firmly when they were
wrong as when they were right. His
mind IS not of the order suited to the
administration of civil affairs, but IL
IS a strong, manly and honest mind,
for all that. Grant has warm place
in the hearts of the people. Ills
weaknesses are all known, and his
faults understood, Because OF his
faults, even, he is liked. lie is one
of the few prominent men OF the time
for whom affection is generally felt.
Wherever he goes the mass OF ordl-
nary men feel the impulse to cheer.

but it cannot be denied that it was
mighty in it's effect upon the vote OF

very great was Grants personal influ

The Lasker Resolution Again.

DISCUSSION IN AND ACTION BY THE HOUSE COMMIT.
TEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO-DAY.
The Lasker resolution was the subject OF discus
sion in the foreign affairs committee OF the House
to-day. Mr.. Phelps opened the matter by Offering
resolution expressing 1t as the opinion OF the COM
mittee that since the action OF the Secretary of
State had been Of such dignifed and proper char
acter, and had placed this country in such favor
able position, 1t unnecessary for the House to
take any further action In the matter
This was very vigorously antagOntZed by Mr.
Eaton, who thought that the dignity OF the House
was in question and should be vindicated in man.
ner that could not be misunderstood The House
should in proper manner express its
CONTEMPT FOR THE INTERFERENCE OF PRINCE Bis
NARCK.
He proposed the adoption Of resolution similar to
that offered by Mr. Hiscock.
Those OF the committee holding less extreme
views proposed that the sting OF Mr. Hiscocks reso
luton be couched IN more diplomatic language and
the resolution adopted. The position taken by Mr
Phelps and the other conservative members was
that the committee had no right to treat Bis-
marckS action as that OF an tndividual-that his
action was that OF the German government or ft
was nothing at all; while on the part OF the more
extreme there was desire to cenSure Bismarck
and praise the German people

The discussion throughout was quite warm, and
it was finally decided that Messra Phelps Eaton
and Rice, together with the chairman, should COM
pose subcommittee to draw up report It is
understood that the report will be in the nature OF
two sides of the committee, and VIII consist of Mr
Phelps resolution with some addition to v1ndicate
the honor OF the House In manner more agreeable

SECRETARY CHANDLER SAYS THE STORY THAT THE

knows the vessel Will tell you that the story is en-
