Ngw YoRK, August lO.--The CONNER
! cial Advertiser this afternoon says the
financial resources available to Mrs.
Grant are at present not ascerlainablc,
since they are dependent somewhat
upon the action Of Congress as to the bal
| ance of the Generals retired pay for the
current year. The receipts from the
| Generals book will be hers. Estimat-
ing these receipts Mt Is cents per volume
for an edition OF 100000 copies, she will
receive S222,ODO, an annual Income OF
5000 Mt per cent. To this Will pro-
| badly be added 5000 year us n widow
! of an ex-President, and the net rental OF
! tho Sixty-sixth street house which. out
| side of interest and taxes. may amount
! to 5000. so that In all probability, II, rs
reported, Mrs. Grant has full life inter-
est In her husbands property, she will
! In the course ofa ~ month or so,enjoy
an income of $4,000 or SlG,OO. This is
all independent of the income from the
| trust fund of S2j0.OOO. In that sum of
money the General possessed the right
of disposition, and until his will is made
public it will be impossible to say
whether he has given his wife life In
terest, or whether he has distributed
tins money among his heirs.
LONDON, August l0.-All the morning
newspapers to-day publish copious ac-
counts of the funeral of Grant. All
agree that the outpouring of the people
on the occasion, and their deep grief NJ
indicated by the dispatches, was some
thing wonderful. The Times has n
special dispatch three columns long, de-
failing scenes and Incidents of the fun
eral, and also prints II leading editorial
prnising and recalling the many personal
| traits OF the dead General. 1t expresses
unbounded admiration for the conduct
| of the American people concerning the
| burial, and pronounces the funeral a
| spontaneous outburst of national admir-
alton and gratitude which, although 1t
can do nothing for its actual object, Is
| not therefore less to be commended. In
! conclusion the Times says No other
nation and no former period could have
afforded the material for such a process
sion rs that of Saturday. or even the
physical conditions which enabled its
members to come together.

| sons, that Mullen probably misappre-
hended his duties and various other
| causes.

be allowed to remain away from their
commands 10 or II years; that captains

day, "means the resurrection of the
army"
