GRACIOUS TO GRANT.
TIE RETIREMENT MEASURE
Explained by General sloeum-rhe House
Committee Favorable to The General.
Tho Nature of s,oeum's Instruct.
Ions-The Presidents Objections.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2S.-General
slocum, speaking to-day Of the prospect
OF getting General Grant upon the retired
list of the army, said there were pending
two bills which had that object in view,
the first OF which mentions General Grant
by name, passed the Senate with only one
dissenting vote; and the second, which
was SO framed as to avoid the difficulty ex-
pressed in the veto of the Fitz John Por.
ter bill, passed by the Senate.
While General slocum, under instruc-
tons from tho Military Committee OF the
House, was awaiting an opportunity to
bring the first bill before that body, "some
friends of General Grant," said Represen-
tative Slocum, "wanted me TO call up the
second bill instead OF the first, which, Of
course, ! could not do as was acting
under instructions from my committee"
"The House Committee then took up the
two bills and discussed them fully, and
the question was whether the instructions
which had already been given me should
be changed and should be instructed to
bring up the second bill or not. Every
Democrat on the committee and one-hali
the Republicans present voted not to
change the instructions, but have me
call up the original bill. That l was pre-.
pared to do week ago to-day, and should
have called it up and think IL would have
passed, had it not been for the dilatory
motions which were made and sustained
by both Democrats and Republicans"
snT am told there:s movement on foot to
call M the second bill by Mr.. Randall il
he can get the floor. The difficulty is in
getting the floor and n suspension OF the
rules, which requires two-thirds vote.
The whole question is simply whether
Congress shall deviate from It's usual
course in this bill in order to comply with
the Presidents views orwhether it should
nass the bill in the form it has always
been in the habit Of doing"
"Another question is whether the Demo.
Gratis are going to deviate from the cus-
tom of Congress in order to accommodate
the Presidents objection, or whether
they would pass the bill in the original
form. My preference is decidedly for the
bill inthe usual form, but | will support
either bill. Tie good feeling Of the House
Committee toward Gen Giants shownby
the fact that 1t instructed me 10 bring up
the frat bill before the second wins intro
,luced or thought Of. This shows the
committee 10 be earnestly In favor OF re.
firing General Grant, and TINT the present
muddle is no trick to defeat the measure,
as many seem to think"

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-There is a well de.
fined report that the authorities are to-
day considering on the question Of treason
or libel in the following sentences Of Mr..
Parnells speech delivered Mt Aliltown,
Malbay:
"You assembled here are relics Of a no.
BILE race not quito driven into the Atlantic.
You are the descendants OF men whom
Cromwell tried to send to hell or to Con.
uaught,' and only succeeded in sending
them as far as Connaught."
"Durng many centuries You bafllcd
and defeated the attempts otthe English
enemy to drive you from the soil OF sacred
ireland, which believe is for you and all
men,"
"This west coast OF our country shows

The authorities doubtless think, why
call on America to suppress certain pm

to utter such belligerent appeals about
"the English enemyh and about "men OF
our country marching shoulder to shoul-

The Now York Dynanlters DO Not Know
Anything About Him.
NEW York, Jan. 2s-The alleged dyna-
miters in this city pretend the most pro-
found ignorance OF the identity Of James
Gilbert Cunningham, OR Dalton, WHO IS
held by the British authorities for con-
nection with the explosion in the White
Tower.
"NIy dear fellows" said "Rocky Noun
tain" o. 'Brien, one Of the persons connect
ed with the ShortPhelan stabbing afTray,
~ know nothing more about tho business
than what have read in the morning
papers. l haven't the remotest idea in
the world who Cunningham is. Ishould
like to make an even bet, however, that
he hadn't anything to do with the explos-
ion. simply base my opinion on the
TACT that the perpetrators otthe explosions
are never discovered except through
treachery, and there has been no treach-
cry in this case so far MS ! can see. No,
sir. don't know who Cunningham is;
and II | did / should not be fool enough to
tell you."
No reporters were allowed to see Phe-
Ian at the Chambers street Hospital, but
in reply 10 a message sent to him as to
whether or not he could give any infor-
nation, he sent negative answer. A well
known Irish Nationalist said in regard 10
the arrest OF Cunningham:
"1'he whole facts in the case seem TO
me to indicate Cunningham's innocence.
1t is extremely improbable that any saue
man-and he appears from the dispatches
to be pretty bright sort Of fellow
would leave the dynamite in the Tower
and then deliberately stay in the place
and run the risk of being blown to pieces
by the explosion which lie knew was
coming. don't believe he had any more
to. do with the explosion than l had,
though he may have some difficulty in
proving it, as heapptars to be roaming
sort OF fellow, and may have some trou-
bio in proving his movements and iden-
tity to the satisfaction Of the British

THE n1vEi. CLOSED
At ISate's Roels-rhe Ics and Cold Form a
Combination.

AT hute's tsock-The lca ana Cold Form n
Combination.
It was reported on tho leyee yesterday
afternoon that the river had closed at
Kate's Rock and this report was later on
confirmed, by those coming up on the
Ohio River road. Heavy ice commenced
passing at this point Tuesday morning
and continued all that day and yesterday.
Some OF the foes were very large ones and
liable TO catch and clog up ut any point
with the river at its present stage. > The
marks last evening indicated that II had
been on stand for q hours, the depth
being Z feet 0 inches. AT all the points
above 1t was reported as falling.
How long the gorge at Kate's Rock will
continue, II is OF course hard TO predict.
A cold snap OF ANY duration would be
likely to soiidify the ice so that IL would
hold gorge that would extend back for
some distance. Again, It's formation may
be such that the pressure win become 80
great in q short time as to mako it give
way easily.
Navigation is, OF course, suspended. Il
has practically been so for the past ten
days. For fifteen months past steamboat
men have surely had hard time of 1t.
There has either been ice or too much or
too little water. The blockade at the
Rock, unless 1t gives way, will interfere
with the Andes excursion to New Orleans,
which is advertised 10 start next Tuesday.

NEW YoRE, Jan. 2S.-The report that
Prcsident-eiect Cleveland will be guest
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel when he comes
TO New York next month has stirred up q
slumbering Democratic row Tie JI0rlds

A clerk volunteered the further infor-

here. and l guess that we can count on
him."
There are two factions seeking to be

"This is q pull between the two crowds

Whitney and that crowd, the kids or boys
to whom Cleveland owes his nomination,
want him to SO to the Holman, where
they haye the run and control OF things

too, that at tho Hoffman they can have a
great many. sly things done for the bach

Cleveland continues his bachelor habits
and want him to go to tho Fifth Avenue
to give the country proof that he has
shaken the boys and realizes what is due

It was TO German that Cleveland said he

rinLADRIpnM, Pa, Jan. 2S.--it has
lust been discovered that the whole force
Of the Pinkerton Agency has been for
more than a week engaged in vain effort
to trace ono Of tho most startling and re-
markablc cases OF mysterious disappear
ance that has been known foryears. Not
only in this city, but in NIL the large cities
in the country, they have been making
the most diligent search to discover what
has become OF S. S. Conant, who has for
the last fifteen years been the
managing editor OF Harper's Weekly,
and the circumstances ot his
sudden dropping ont have aroused the
qraSest apprehensions on the part OF his
friends and relatives. One week ago,
Friday, without any explanation or with
ont any reason therefore known to any
one, he rendered his resignation as man
aring editor OF Haper's Weekly. to take
eject az once, and left the office immedi-
ately. He has not since been seen by any
one OF his family or friends.
On "Wednesday last the following per-

Since the fact OF Mr.. Conant's strange

the day OF his resignation, but not within
the past week. Il has also been learned
that .he bought q ticket for Florida, but
the ticket was never presented. No reason
whatever Is alleged for his resignation,
which was as much surprise to the Har.

hiled the important position which he
held for fifteen years without any strain
whatever upon the relations between him
