THE sOUDAN WITHDRAWAL.
In the House of Commons this after
noon Lord Harrington, Secretary of War,
stated that since the government had de-
cided to revise the policy TO be pursued in
the Soudan. it had been in correspondence
with Sir Evelyn Barring, the British di-
plomatic representative at Cairo, and
Lord Wolseley, commander Of the forces
in Soudan. The latter, said Lord Har-
tingtOn, had gone to Suakin TO report
upon the military situation. Lord Ed

WASHINGTON, April 30.-There is good
reason to believe that large number Of
removals and appointments will soon be
made in the Treasury service. Lightning
will strike the Bureau of Statistics,
which needs reorganizing. The reOrgani-
zation will result in a reduction of the
clerical force. Nimmo is booked for dis
missal if he does not resign voluntarily
The appraisers ONCE at New York is to be
shaken up. There will be lively fluttcr
in custom house circles. There win
probably be a number Of new collectors
of customs in the country before many
days. A gentleman who had a converse
tiOn with Secretary Manning to-day says
that the latter expressed the opinion that
the criticisms which have been
made on the new administration
for proceeding slowly are unjust
considering all the circumstances. He
thought that the AK had been swinging
at about as lively rate as was consistent
with a proper regard TO public interests,
for it should be remembered that those en-
trusted with the management of affairs
had to consider many important subjects
in addition to questions of removals and
appointments.

THE Russ1AN M1ssIoN.

Representative Springer, of Illinois,
laughed when he was asked whether he
was an applicant for the Russian mission.
He said that the report probably grew out
of the fact that he had urged upon the
President and Secretary of State the APP
pointment of Gen. John A. McClernand,
of Illinois, to the place.

CHICAGO SPECTATORS.
The Various Reports, Cables, Etc, Re-
sorted to.

CHICAGO, August l5-The speculative markets
on Change during the past week have ruled very
slumpy, and prices have slowly eased off.
THE bulls have the advantage OF every point in
the argument except one, said philosophical
bull leader this morning. There is too much
wheat"
This idea has appeared TO overshadow all others
in the minds of the crowd. Receipts have been
light and each day has brought its usual griSt OF
bad crop reports. Cables. too. have been strong,
and while the export demand has not been up to
the expectations OF some, there has been fair buy
ing by shippers right along This in ordinary
times would have resulted in bulge. but the
great and only trouble with the market now is the
fear OF an early and liberal movement of new
spring wheat when the elevators are all full of
salable old grain. If somebody would be kind
enough TO buy and remove a few million bushels
there would be a rally at once, but it is the
trade seems to have agreed that il is necessary
to dcpress prices until OF the old
surplus stock can be disposed OF. Clip Adams,
Arthur Orr Eldridge and Lester have been pretty
steady sellers throughout, and their efforts have
been aided by small averlanch of country stop
orders so that although short" covering and buy
ing by brokers' supposed to represent Armour,
caused prices to follow a zigzag path the tend
ency was uniformly downward. Another feature
of the trade has been heavy selling by Wall street
parties on account OF hot wheat stories based on
no more substantial foundation than the heavy
gazing OF margins ON august grain by several New
York and Chicago com mission firms. These
rumors were of course, false. but served heir pur
pose in aiding a feeling OF decided debility.
The bears predict libersl movement of new
grain. Farmers. they say, are in urgent need of
money, and having nothing else 10 sell must mar
ket their wheat at the ruling price whatever that
may be. The continuance OF premium or de-
lVerics in future months equal to the cost fcarry
ing the grain in store here fOrbds the forward sales
for export. which have been q marked feature OF
the trade in most years at this date, and which
have done much to relieve the speculative mar
ket here from the pressure incident to the early
food of deliveries by the many farmers who are
Obliged 10 sell at the eerest possible moment to
pny debts maturing about harvest time. Yet ii
may be noted that although when listening 10 the
bear gossip one might imagine prices had broken
all To pieces Cash wheat five weeks ago-July =
sold down to s5l4c. and has never been 80 low
since.
Many samples OF the new spring wheat have
been received here and have been. without eX-
ccption. OF a very inferior quality. which leads to
| the suppostion that the hot spell following the
excessively wet weather has caused considerable
| damage Both sides claim this fact viii be in
| their favor

WASHINGTON, August 13.-Though just at
this time tinged with melancholy, the cOun-

variety of intelligence, authentic and
apocryphal, relating to General Grant The

this nuisance into existance, / rejoice that
he is abated. Mourning is too often

lacks devotion. Fine writing and
gorgeous trapping meant to attest
decorous woe. detract from the sole unity of
the occasion. But this sentiment is fire.

made by some people against the news

great American whose life is now before the
world. Yet. this long -after the funeral,
whenever two or three are together there.
in some form, General Grant becomes the
theme OF conversation. This is the case in
the Capital, and it is reasonable to presume
that the same prevails throughout the coun-
try The soldier never wearies OF telling
how he appeared on the field of battle in a
suit of faded blue, with nothing but his
shoulder-straps to distinguish him from the
wagon master, and the citizen tells how he
appeared at the White House and on Penn
SliNailia avenue. All THIS Is ledfu WITH
ayidity, and readily passes from one to an
other, giving delight to all.
At the Postoffice Department this morn
ing heard man telling of having visited
General Grants headquarters in this city be-
fore his election TO the Presidency. As the
gentleman relating the incident was rather

it shows a remarkable mind. | will give it

this visit was to secure permission TO take

regiments OF the brigade and the brigades OF
the divisions. giving their positions on the
field He then ordered a sketch of the map,
which was brought to him in a moment.
Taking this the General traced with blue
pencil what he termed deaths angle. and
continued: Now, the body OF your brother
must he within few feet of this point"
Three weeks later the gentleman vino told
this story met the lady, who informed him
that General Grant was absolutely correct in
his estimate, and that from his map she
could have gone direct to the grave of her

better world. Goodbye" His neck was
not broken and he died from strangulation
Last May Honnker and party OF men at
