upwards, all showing that death was preceded

At MT. McGREGOR.
Gen. Grant Very Weak-His Voice not
SO Husky This Morning.

Mt. McGREGoR, n. Y, June 17.-When Gen.
Grant sank into his pillOwed chair On the piazza
OF the DreXel cottage here, soon after his ar
rival yesterday, the thermometer ON pillar
in front of him marked the temperature S3o.
Mr. Drexel said that was an excessive heat for
the locality. Clouds and rain at sunset beat
the mercury down to Overcoat temperature.
On through the night, until o'clock, gusty
winds swept the rain in sheets over the noun
tain; but the sun came up over the green noun
tains this morning and found no clouds. At 10
o'clock the thermometer before the generals

the general had slept well. although he had been
called to attend him three times during the
night. The huskiness of his voice was consid-
erably relieved, but its loss had been owing to
general weakness, rather than fatigue, and its
recovery would be slow: Col; Fred. Grant said
Of his father this morning: HE had consider
able rest last night, and this morning his voice
has improved so that we can understand him
when he tries to whisper. When went to his
family that he found his voice little stronger
to-day, but that he should not try to use it, hop
ing that, with caution, it would grow strong
enough SO he could talk again. But" adj

Is owing to debility, and he is growing weaker
now, but, as / said, his weakness constantly
grows upon him. A little white tent, with
small flags fiuttering from it, is pitched close to

Trustee vs.. Supervising Principal.

A CONTEST IN MR. BIRNEY's D1v1s1oN-PETI-
TONS TO HAVE MR.. BIRNEY ASSIGNED TO
ANOTHER DIVISION.
Petitions are being circulated among resi-
school board to assign Mr.. Birney to some other
division than the second. This movement
against Mr.. Birney grows Immediately out of a
proposition which Mr.. Birney is credited with
entertaining of removing Mr.. N. P. Gage,
the present supervising principal of
the division. Mr.. Birney's complaint
against Mr.. Gage, it is stated, is that that gen.
tleman has not acted in harmony with him as
a trustee. In several matters relating to school
management the supervising principal has
taken grounds against the trustee. Some days
ago MIR. Birney proposed to MIR. Gage that the
latter should exchange places with Mr.. Janney,
supervising principal of the 9TH division, or
would not renominate him. A knowledge
of this proposal has aroused the ex-trustees,
the parents and others interested in the schools
in the second division, who object very strongly
MIR. VIM. II. Baum, president Of the school
board, said to-day that 1t was question how
far the power conferred upon a trustee by the
board extended: The trustee is authorized by
the rules of the board to nominate the teachers
for his division. If "a trustee failed to nomi-
nate, the board, he thought, could appoint a
as the trustee, in making the nominations, was
acting only as a committee of the board. Some
time ago the board adopted q resolution requir-
ing trustees to hand in their nominations for
lions for several of the divisions have been re-
ceived. Mr.. Birney, who is out Of the city, has
not made his nominations yet: These
mittee for approval before being reported to
the board. This committee, Mr.. Baum thought,
would not approve any changes in the lists
merely for the purposes of slaughter and not
for the benefit of the schools.

IT IS SAID TO SHOW THAI THE VESSEL Is UN-
SEAwORTHY.
The board of naval officers appointed to ex-
anime the Dolphin yesterday submitted their
report to the Secretary of the Navy. 1t is said
that the board report that the vessel is unsea-
worthy; that her construction is faulty; that her
design as u dispatch boat is absurd, and that
she has not come up to the required speed of
fifteen knots an hour at sea. 1t Is said that the
report shows her faulty construction by
pointing out that the vessel is not properly
braced, and that there is no support for the en-
gines. To this fault is attributed the accidents
to the machinery Of the vessel; little addi-
tional load in any part throws the machinery
out of line. The vessel is so designed that she
cannot defend herself. Secretary Whitney
was asked about the matter to-day. but de-
clined at present to deny or confirm the above
reports. He said he had expected to
consider the report carefully at his
home last evening, but continued Interruptions
prevented. Until he had SO considered it he
would not make 1T public. AS to the rumor
that the board had recommended the
rejection of the vessel he said: "That
is incorrect, for the board are not re-
CURED to make any recommendations.
Their duty is to report whether the vessel was
constructed according to the terms of the con-
tract, and whether She is structurally strong
and seaworthy, and if not where the fault is,
