EEw YORK, March 7.-Genersl Grant, as
shown by the following incident, realizes
thdt he has but a short time to live. A few
days ago he selected from among pile Of
manuscripts document which he would not
have reached in the ordinary course for sew
eral weeks. He began to give directions in
reference to it when General Badeau, his
assistant, remarked that the General would
be able to dispose of the paper himself when
he came to it. General Grant replied, with
out any change from his usual quiet and
phlegmatic manner: General, that may be
what you think, but nv impression is that
will not last thirty days He then con-
tinued his directions without altering his
demeanor.
General Grant slept well last night and
is suffering less pain than usual to-day, but
no material improvement can be reported.

A CONSERVATIVE COURSE
To be Pursued by Secretary of the Interior


WASHINGTON, D. c. March 7.-Secretary
Lamar received great number Of congrat-
ulatory calls to-day. Commissioners Gen.
eral OF the Land Office, the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs and the Commissioner Of
Pensions had prepared their designations, but
at the Secretary's request deferred present
ing them until Monday. One of Secretary
Lamsrs first official acts was to reinstste
Mr.. Hanna as Private Secretary to the Sec.
retary Of the Interior which position he had
held under Secretaries Schurz and Teller.
From remarks that have been made By the
new Secresary it is evidently his intention
TO adopt very conservative course IN
making changes in the personnel OF the
Interior Department, and be is said to be
thoroughly in sympathy with President
Cleveland's views upon civil service prin-
ciples. Postmaster General Vilss also re-
eefved q number Of callers but LEFT the de-
paIttneht early in the afternoon, thus pre-
venting assistant Postmaster Generals from
presenting their designations.

ret on he did not hoist flag on the Gus

indi,ed request to the Secretary OF the
