Gen. Grant awoke within an hour after he

! fore 1880 O'Clock 1t was discovered at noon
that Gen. Grants cheerful and active man
ner of the morning had been forced for APP
pearance sake He wanted the family to
think he was much improved.
The efforts succeeded beyond his expecta-
| tions and in their happiness their attentions
| to him were so profuse that about noon, I'M
able longer to keep up appearances, he went
to his room In response to inquiry made OF
him there he wrote on his pad that the night
had not been as good as was suppose and
bad been given out in the morning state
ments from the cottage, but was very wake
full and that he felt the need of lying down
for rest
A little later the general reused and wrote
a reply to the letter he received fro n an ex-
Confederate soldier.
The desire to be down and rest @as still
strong upon him and he felt thai he could
not otherwise get relief Going to a cot he
stretched himself upon it and was soon
| asleep. The family had been much con-
cerned over his note, stating his condition.
They were soon afterward made anxious by
violent attack of coughing that came as
the penalty of his lying down.
The general realized how they felt and as
soon as the coughing stopped, he put on his
hat and walking down from the porch,
stepped into the bath invalid chair He
rode to the hin top and around the hotel II
greatly allayed the anxiety at the cottage
The rest of the afternoon he divided between
the porch and his room
Although be suffered no special pain, so
tired was he at evening, that he was pre-
pared for the night before O'Clock.

THE soTKINs INQUEST.
The Coroner Holding Star Chamber Ses-
slon-A Verdict Expected.

CINCINNATI, July 4-Dr. Carriek began
the first secret inquest held in this county
for many day. The coroner, his clerk, a
stenographer and police officers locked them
selves up in an inner office of the coroner's
suite and admitted one witness at time to
testify about the Botkins murder In con-
Quoting this anomalous star chamber affair,
the coroner proposes to, as nearly as posi-
bic, conduct himself as grand jury would
under like circumstances
This is done at the instigation of the city
police authorities, who claim it will aid jus
tiee. From exceedingly good authority it
was learned, that the coroner, upon entering
the inquest, did not expect to obtain the tes-
timony of eye witnesses to the fatal blow.
But the coroner, from the evidence as it
then appeared, thought the circumstantial
evidence against thosa in Jail for the Botkins
murder was strong enough to warrant him
in bringing in verdict that Botkins died at
their hands

Remoxine Anaches

WASHINGTON, July 6. Mr.. G. g. Adams
OF Tombstone, Arizona, representing the cit
liens of Cocbise county, in which county
Tombstone is located, called ON President
Cleveland, and in behalf of the residents OF
his and adjoining counties, urged the remov-
al of the Apache Indians from the San Car
los reservation TO reservation somewhere
in the northwestern part Of the Iniian Ter
ritory.
Mr.. Adams told the president that this is
the only way 70 prevent repetition of thess
biennial outbreaks of the Apaches- Their
reservation is only one hundred and seventy
miles from the Mexican border and the Sierra
Madre mountains. The pathway to these
mountains lies through Graham and Cochise
counties, and the people of these counties arr
the principal sufferers from the raids OF
these renegades
II removed to the Indian Territory, sur
rounded by civilized population, and remote
from mountain ranges, our troops could
easily intercept them should they go on the
war path. The president assured Mr..
Adams that the matter would receive
prompt attention.

WASHINGTON, July 6-The secretary OF
the treasury has issued circular TO customs
officers, informing them that all charges
previously required to be added to the
market value of imported merchandise est
mating dutiable value were ahrogatei BY
the act Of March Sd, 1888: and that such
charges can no longer be consider ed by Gus
toms officers as factors in the ascertainment
and assessment of duties
Customs officers are expressly cautioned
against the use of the term Charges in
their returns of dutiable value The actual
foreign market value must be ascertained,
and whatever mode of inquiry or calcula-
ton Is pursued in such ascertainment. it
must be made to clearly appear that
charges as such, are not included as an
element
The circulars also state that it is the sole
province OF the appraising officers TO ascer-
tam such actual market value or wholesale
price OF imported merchandise in the foreign
markets, and that importers who may feel
aggrieved or dissatisfied with their action
from whatever cause, have a speedy and
efficaciouS remedy by appeal TO reaT oraisers.
The department can not pass up IN cases
whose importers avail themselves of such
remedy, for under the law question the ques-
ton Of dutiable value is a question of fact
which can only be determined by the APP
praising officers of the government
