FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1894.

During the past week Mr.. Wander
bilt has had judgment entered up
against General Grant for something
more than one hundred and fifty-fve
thousand dollars. 1t is said that this
was done merely to preserve the evil
dence of debt and that the old General
will not be pushed with an execution.
There is degree of sadness in the
financial afiiictions of this old warrior.
The hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars the General borrowed of Wander
bilt the day before the failure of Grant
& Ward is the basis of this claim the
five thousand is for interest. To meet
this obligation the hero of Appomat-
tox transferred to Mr.. Vanderbilt I'M.
mediately after the failure all his real
estate in Philadelphia, Washington
and st. Louis. All the pieces of prop
erty so turned were gifts from friends,
but it was all swept away in the finan-
cial whirlpool which Ward and Fisk
created. General Grant by this act
gave up all real estate he had to keep
his word to friend and he has moth
ing left except the income from $780,
900 that is held in trust for him. This
financial crash has borne more heavily
upon him than every other trial of his
life put together and he seems to be
ageing rapidly. He is now engaged
in writing a review of his military
campaigns, which will make two large
volumes. 1t is expected that they will
both be ready for publication within a
year. After they are finished he will
write another book, giving his political
experiences from the surrender of Ap-
pomattox to the present time. Ex-
Senator Chaffee, who gave this infor-
nation about General Grants spirit
and purposes, said that this last book
will be one of the most interesting
books historically that has yet been
given to the country, as it will cover
an inside view of Andrew Johnsons
administration, of which very little is
known. Besides this book work which
General Grant has undertaken, he is
soon to write paper for the Century
Magazine upon "The Battle of Shi-
loh. Y. Letter to Phila. Times.

What bob" Ingersoll Thinks.
TURNING THE REPUBLICANS OUT WILL
NOT SEND THE WORLD TO WRECK.

COL Robert G. Ingersoll, who is on a
lecturing tour, said in his recent inter
view regarding what might be expect
ed of Cleveland's Administration
"The Democrats are as anxious for
good times as the Republicans. They
want good money. Responsibility
makes them conservative. They have
success in 1883 in view. That will
make them prudent, and there is no
doubt Cleveland will do his level best
to make his Administration good one,
aud the probability Is he will succeed.
| don't think that putting the Republi-
can party out of Office will send the
world TO wreck. There are as many
Republicans now as before the election.
They will have an influence that the
Democratic party will be compelled to
respect. If Cleveland does well, as he
probably will do, it will show that the
country is safe in the hands of either
party"
AS to the effect of religious ques-
tions on the campaign, the Colonel
said
"The Protestants were generally for
Blaine, except the Unitarians and
Episcopalians-the northern Protes-
tants of course. Mr.. Blaine's mana
gers expected help from the Catholic
vote, but it Is not to be expected that
the Catholics would largely support a
man who had been born a Catholic
and had deserted the Church. That
meeting of the clergy in New York
did great harm. The people at large
have no confidence in preachers. They
fear the old ecclesiastical spirit, and
they want no President guided by
priests or spiritual adviser. The peo,
pie are not afraid of preacher in the
pulpit, but when ooe gets loose they
regard the situation as unsafe"

Blaine's Libel Suit.
THE CASE AGAINST THE INDIANAPOLIS
Sentinel DISMISSED.

james G. Blaine dismissed his libel
suit against the Sentinel in the United
States court at Indianapolis on the
10th. His principal ground was that
he could not get justice in Indiana.
1t was to be tried on the Esd in
slant.
The following is Blaine's letter to
his attorneys instructing them to dis,
miss the suit against the indianapolis
Sentinel.

THE MARVELLOUS ADVENTURE or A
WHALING GREW uP WHERE rnE
ICEBERGs STAND.
From the San francisco Chronicle.

The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port few days ago from
the Arctic Ocean, brings strange
story of the narrow escape from dpath
OF six of her crew. The first officer,
George johnson, stated the crcutnstan-
ccs To Chronicle reporter yesterday.
~ follows On the 10th of last Octo
Der, when the vessel was 46 miles
south OF Alaska, an object was perceiv-
ed IN the distance whose proportions
and shape indicated it to be monster
sea lion. A boat was Immediately
lowered and placed in charge of First
Officer Johnson and five of the crew,
named Andrew Nelson, William Viii.
son, Antoine Niaga, George Marshiield
and Hans Stuten. As the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
vincrd that it was the famed sea SER
pent. When they came within few
hundred yards the monster made n
dash for the boat, striking out its i'm.
mense tail against the craft. Several
vi Ihe occupants were preclpltatet into
the water, but were rescued with diff.
Guilty. a harpoon and lance were FIR
ed into the body of the beast and it
disappeared beneath the surface. Half
an hour later it reappeared floating on
the water, dead.
1t was secured with ropes and tow
cd to the vessel and hoisted on the
deck. There the capture was seen to
be villaioous looking thing. Its head
closely resenb'ed that of an alligator,
while the body resembled that of a
lizard. 1t measured thirty-three feet
in length, the tail alone being nine
feet long. The tail was cut off and
stuffed ard brought TO this city and is
now on exhibition in a waterfront sa.
loon.

on transportation carrying companies
are arraigned for subyerting the rights
of the people and absorbing by dishon
est methods the profits of agriculture.
The report indorses the Reagan inter
State commerce bill, 1t opposes subsi-
dies as means of stimulating com-
merce, denounces Senator Camtron's re-
bate proposition as open to the same
objection and suggests a suspicion and
scrutiny of the reciprocity scheme rec
commended by President Arthur The
committee on agriculture recommends
,he placing of text books on agricul-
ture, hygiene aud physiology as studies
equally important with those of math-
ematics and the classics. The commit
tee on education recommends the teach
ing of natural sciences and other prao-
tical branches in the public schools in
order to accommodate those who pro
pose to make agriculture their future
