Why the Grant Bill Wa. Killed.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The bill to place
Gen. Grant on the retired list Of the army
with the same rank held by him at the time
of his election as president of the United
States failed in the house to-day. The oppo-
sition did not come from the Democrats
alone, although largely so. Some time ago
the senate passed bill authorizing the pres
ident to place upon the retired list with the
rank of general Of the army, one whom he
might designate. It did not name Gen.
Grant. but it went without saying that be
was to be the beneficiary. The bill was thus
drawn because the president had vetoed bill
to place Gen. Averill on the retired list on
the ground that particular officer being there
named, cOnilcted with the constitutional pre-
rogative of the president, as the sole appoint
ing power. Tue bill offered in the house
was not the senate bill, but one reported by
the house military committee. 1t authorized
the president in his discretion to place Gen.
Grant On the retired list with the rank Of
general. Thirty minutes debate on the bill
did it more harm than good. The bulk of
the negative vote came from the southern
democrats and from fair share of those
north Of Mason aud Dixon's line Some OF
the latter say they opposed the bill because of
the unconstitutional provisions to which at
tention had been called bs the Republican
side

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Senator Voorhees,
saws for publication that his visit 10 Mr..
Cleveland was entirely satisfactory, but it is
reported that in very confidential way
among his friends the senator expresses
some disgust at the very vague and indeh-
mite results OF his mission in behalf Of Mr..
Mcdonald. The reports that come from
Albany afford very slender ground
for hope that Mr.. Mcdonald will
20 into the cabinet. Senator Bayard
will not return for several days. It is given
ont that be has private business that will com
pei him to spend two or three days in Della
ware before he appears again in Washington
and the current belief is that his errand at
home is to help pick out su table gentle
man TO wear his toga when he lays il aside
for the proper robe OF a cabinet minister.
Whatever that garment may be the Demo
crats agree that it is very important that
their entire strength should be mustered In
the senate at the coming special session
not that they seem to apprehend any partisan
conflict, but they deem il prudent TO be as
well prepared as possible for anything that
NAV arise FOi this reason they are very
anxious that If Mr.. Cleveland IS 70 take any
members Of the cabinet from the senate he
should do so at The earliest possible date so
that such senators can resign and legislatures
of their states have time TO fill the vacancies
before special session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--Sometime last

in the distributing of mail for the large

A London Mob.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Great excitement was
oecasioned here to-day by the riotous con-

men. Three thousand paraded the streets
with banners bearing mottoes of their griey-
ances. Several bands of music accompanied
the procession, which marched to the build
ing occupied by the local government board.
\ committee from the ranks entered the
office and demanded relief for the people

employment on the construction of the i'm
peTial works, which they said was needed tor the
public good. The officers of the board re-
puiscd the committee and the crowd became

paraders then invaded Downing street and
stopped in trout of the official residence of
Gladstone. They howled and hissed invec-
lives against the government and cabinet. A
council was being held at the time and the
mob attempted TO force their way into the
room where the council were sitting. The

deal of curiosity. They called on Secretary
Teller without any previous notification and
demanded more land. 1t is said these In
dians have each 100 acres of land, and are
supplied with agricultural implements aud
seeds By the government. They told Secre-
tary Teller that the game was all gore, and
that they suffered for food. He suggested
that they might go to war. They repli ID
that they were children Of great ia her and
they wanted him TO support them. The sec
retary said the great father did not support
his white children, but that they had to work
for their living. He Thought as they had 100
acres Of land they could live if they wanted
to work. The Indians insisted that they
wanted more land, but he told them that it
would be impossible to give them any more.
AS they were in the city without money or
means to get home, the department will sup
ply their wants and send them back to Da-

reservation, have sent a report to the secre-

what the Indians really meant TO
say was, that the lease was under consider

that the government rations would be ex-

perfected money obtained could be used to
buy beef to subsist them until the end Of the

these representations, through fear OF short
rations, or no ratiOns al ali after April,
sigued the lease. In view OF these facts the
committee are satisfied that neither Agent
Armstrong nor any of his employees did any
thing Inconsistent with their official duty or
