GRANTS CONDITION.
The General Said to be a Very
Sick Man,
WITH NO HOPE OF RECOVERY
Fenian Organizations Preparing to

Cleveland and Manning.
Grants Condition.

New YORK, February 28.-In regard
to General Grants health, Col. Frederick
Grant said to Post reporter this after
noon: "My father is q very sick man.
There is no use in longer denying the
fact. We have made every effort to
keep the true facts from the public, be-
cause we know that as soon as it should
become known that he was dangerously
i'll there would be hundreds of letters
coming in with every mail, and this
would only exert him and make the
case less hopeful. My father has had
little rest for the past few nights. He
was up and about the room for little
while yesterday, and we hope to get him
up again to-day, but he is suffering con-
slant pain in the ear and head. For
any facts concerning the nature of his
disease, l refer you to his physicians.
The doctors who are attending him are
Dr. Fordyce Barker, DR.. ]. H. Douglas,
and DR.. H. B. Sands, of this city, and
DR.. T. NJ. Merker, of Philadelphia.
DIR. Douglas said; II am in nowise
responsible for the rose. colored report
that appears in the Medical Journal last
week. Two days before the report was
published, 1 had a conversation with
DR.. Sands, at General Grants house.
AS result of the conversation
we both decided that the cancerous
growth at the root of the tongue
was hardening and steadily growing
worse. Microscopical examination by
an expert proved, beyond doubt, the
case to be a malignant epithelial
growth. General Grant is a very sick
man. I think there is little or no hope
that he will recover. He is breaking
down, but has displayed much courage.
For less than q month he has done as
much as six or eight hours work day
but has had little sleep for the past
eight days. We have tried to keep the
knowledge of his true condition flom the
general, because he has had so many
other trials to bear. He takes nourish-
ment every day in a liquid form. He
cannot eat solid food, because he has
lost all his teeth. They were extracted
in the hope OF easing the pain in his
face. This pain, although 1t resembles
neuralgia, is not that, pure and simple
but is reflection of the pain caused by
cancer in the throat. He has been sui.
fering from a severe pain in his right
ear and on the top of his head. TO ease
this his head is kept wrapt in hot
flannels. l cannot say how near his
end is. He may live for months yet, as
men suffering from this disease have
done, but do not think there is any
hope that he will ever recover.

The Defiant MIahdi,

LosDos, February 28.-Last October
the Mahdi sent an autograph letteT
to General Gordon, exulting over the
wreck OF Colonel Stewards steamer and
the murder of that officer and COM
nanions. In proof of knowledge that
disaster had oyertaken Stewart, he en-
dorsed copies of documents found on
The steamer and an account showing
the state of munitions and supplies at
Khartoum at the time of Stewards de-
parture. By the messenger who
brought the letter, General Gordon sent
back defiant reply to the Mahdi. He
said: Il do not care how many men you
killed or what success you gained; il
makes no difference to me-" After more
in the same vein he concluded with

IL the part of craftsmanship to recognize
the fact which existed, and to bring
about reconciliation between the two
currencies by a reconsideration of the
ratio of their value. In his Judgment
the true solution of the question was to
make the silver dollar the equal of the
gold dollar. If the silver dollar were
made equal to the gold dollar, there
would be no reason for placing any re-
strIcton whatever on its coinage, and,
Ihoeed, IN this case, it might be safe to
make silver the sole foundation of the
paper money of the country.

that as the silver question had been i'm

letter referred to had been prepared.
Notwithstanding the canGor with which
the views of the President-elect had
been formulated in this particular, he
was mistaken. The condition of things
which was predicted in the public press
as about TO take place was an impossi-
Dlllty. 1t was a condition of things
that never had taken place in any
country in the world. With a currency
OF SF50,OOO,0O0 it was impossible that
this currency should go below the par

banks OF this country, aided by all the
banks of London, to put gold to pre-
MUM and keep it there, 50 long as the
volume of money was kept down, aside
from gold, to $3.50, 100000.
On motion of Reid, the paragraphs

which, on request of MeAIiIlon, got per-
mission to sit during sessions of the
Senate
Mitchell offered the following pre-
amble and resolution:
Whereas, The commercial value OF
silver has so far deprecated that stand
ard silver dollars coined under the act
OF 1878, are now worth but 81 cents in
the open market, and,
Whereas. The coptinued coinage of
such deprecated dollars now amount
T ing to nearly 0,000.000, seriously
threatens the suspension of gold pay

coin from active circulation, therefore,
Resolved, That the committee on
finance be and hereby is instructed
forthwith to prepare and report to the

the coinage of silver dollars and
! for the resumption of such
coinage whenever the commercial value
of the standard dollars aforesaid shall
rise to within per cent. of par with
standard gold dollars of the United
States"
Mitchell asked unanimous consent to
have the resolution considered at once,

resolution "a very important letter from
distinguished person" (meaning the
letter of the -President-elect Just pub.

A Coming Strike.

ST. LOUIS, February 28.-Workmen on
the Texas and Pacific railroad shops al
Marshall, Texas, have been notified that
the wages will be reduced twelve and a
half per cent. after Monday next. The
order produced much dissatisfaction
among the men. A meeting was held
and committee appointed to wait on
the railroad officials and ask that the
order be rescinded. This was done but
no satisfaction was received. A similar
notification was served on the men at
the International and Great Northern
shops at Palestine, which are under the
same management as those at Marshall,
and it was received in about the same
spirit. A strike is talked of, but no ac-
ton in that direction is yet taken by the
men.
