WASHINGTON, July M.-Sadness set
tod over tbs departments yesterday

at half-mast and orders issued for the

ton mad never suffered such an at1llc-
tios since the death OF George Wash l-
ington, Snd no precedent could be
found to guide them in their actions
Many old officials were personal
friends of General Grant, and all loved
and honored him. Nearly all the clerks
and officials who have been in the SER
vice 0nv length of time have some
pleasant recollection OF the war hero
and President and his pleasant face
and figure were familiar to
them all. His simple. kindly
manners were discussed IN every
room, and by clerks meeting IN the
corridors, and geuuine grief at tho
loss vast heard on every hand. Some
clerks who saw General Grant at the
White House told how simple ana
kind he was in his manner OF recely-
Ing them; how he would put them az
their ease, giving them . char VIII
his hown hands, handing them cigars
or q glass of wine, and how, If he hap
pened to be goiag out as they were, no
would walk with them rs lar RS las
course lay in the same direction, smok,
