Washington dispatch: There was an I'M
usually large crowd of anxious people in
and about Secretary Manning's office to-
day. Ofice-seekers begin to look upon
Saturday, when the secretary receives no
callers, as the day when the petitions and
applications that have been pouring
in during the week are considered; so on
Monday they crowd in to obtain results.
Great pressure is brought to bear by some
clerks anxious to retain their situations.
The secretary is perpled and worried the
most by women. They are the most i'm
Fortunate applicants, and, on the other
hand, among those who fear being turned
out, present the most pitiful petitions for
retention. In some instances, where dis
mssals are contemplated, the secretary
has been met by the appeals of whole fam
lilies, claiming to be dependent upon one
woman for support.

TEXAS CATTLE.
Serious Conflict of Authority Regard
Ing Their Being Driven
Through Kansas.

St Louis dlspatch.-Advices from northern
Texas are to the effect that serious trouble is
looked for in the Pan Handle, over the driving
of southern Texas cattle through Kansas.
Thousands of cattle are going up the Fort
Worth q Denver railroad to be unloaded at
Harold and then driven through. 1t is
claimed these cattle are diseased, and if al
lowed to go on will spread the Texas fever
along the line they travel. Kansas men are
determined to resist with all the means in
their power, any effort to drive southern
Texas cattle through the neutral strip or mo
Man'SLand,n as it is called. 1t is said that
the promise Of Secretary Lamar has been OBJ
tanned to interpose the strong arm of the gov
ernment to prevent it, and that the United
States marshal with strong posse armed with
government authority, will meet tbs first herd
bound for Kansas, and they will turn the cat
tie back or prevent their entrance into the
neutral strip.
Southern Texas men are very angry over
the matter, pronounce the scare without rea-
son, and say their cattle are healthy and that
they will ii hit before their rights shall be sub
verified. They are determined to drive them
into Kan as, and claim that Secretary Lamar
had guaranteed them protection to go
and has notified the Kansas men ac-
cordingly. Cool headed cattle men say there
viii be trouble, and think the Government
should call halt on the trail till the question
can he investigated and the real facts ascer-
tanned. In connection with the same matter,
advices come from Topeka, Kansas, which
say that Gov. Martin has received dispatches
from the sheriff OF Finney county, in the eX-
RENE western part of the state informing
lim that 60, 600 head of Texas cattle are now
gathered south of the state line in charge of
700 armed men and that an effort will be
made to drive through. The sheriff asks for
Instructions and Gov. Martin has telegraphed
hin that the State Live Stock Sanitary Com
instructed to con er with them. If the cat
lemen persist in the attempt 10 drive their
lerds into and through Kansas it is asserted
hat resistance will be made and trouble and
perhaps bloodshed ensue.

A Small Boys Ingenuity.

The invention of the valve motion
to steam engine was made by a mere
boy. Newcomers engine was in a
very incomplete condition, from the
fact that there was no way to open or
close the valves except by means of
levers operated by hand. He set up
large engine at one end of the mines,
and boy Humphrey POTTERY was
hired to work these valve levers. AL
though this is not hard work, yet it
required his constant attention. AS
he was working the levers he saw that
parts of the engine moved in the right
direction, and at the same time he had
to open and close the valves.
He procured strong cord and
made one end. fast to the proper part
of the engine and the other end to the
valve-lever, and the boy had the sat-
isfaction of seeing the engine move
with perfect regularity of motion. A
short time after the foreman came
around and saw the boy playing mar
bles at the door. Looking at the en-
CINE, he saw the ingenuity of the boy,
and also the advantage of his inven-
ton. The idea suggested by the boys
inventive genius was put into practic-
al form, and made the steam engine
an automatic working machine

Mt. Gregor dispatch: Seven hours of re-
freshing sleep and the usual taking Of liquid
food the absence of unusual pain, quiet of
| body and no unequal mental strain, oonsti.
tutes the record for Gen. Grant from9 o'clock
Wednesday night to o'clock Thursday after
| noon. The fatigue that followed his unwise
exertion by walking yesterday was a warning
that so good a patient as General Grant will
not let go UNDECIDED. Mindful OF this, he has
passed quiet day physically. To what de-
gree his mind has been active is a knowledge
held only by the general though the doctors
would be glad to share such knowledge, as his
mental and physical condition last evening
were running nearly level. So feeble and
trembling was the generals body that even
his sturdy pluck seemed TO weaken. He was
dstraught in mind, discouraged at heart and
weak in body, and because of this he wrote
the letters to his physician and family, which
he would gladly recall to-day, but while I'M
usual temporary weakness may have Occa-
stoned the generals dependency Wednesday
evening, he knows, and has within week ex-
pressed to near friend, his own assurance
that he Is constantly growing weaker and
more exhausted, and he was not deceived in
THIS and no effort was made to lead the gen.
eral TO a false hope. He was last week frank
ly told that he was fading out, and that at the
end he would probably pass away peacefully,
OF heart failure. When the handspring of
vitality Was INCURRED, duu Wuen Tue puyslcdl
machinery had run down, it would stop. Such
Is the generals anticipation of the end, which
he calmly realizes is not a long way distant
and impossible to avert. His courage sank to
ebb, and realizing the painful influence of
the mind upon physical conditions, such as
obtain now in General Grants case, DIR.
Douglas summoned DR.. Sands. The latter
came, found no alarming symptoms, saw the
general in better spirits, and in the evening
started back to New York. Temporary influ-
ence may render the general again and at any
time apprehensive, and the following day
may see his spirits recovered. but all the
while the vicious sore upon his tongue is
deepening and as it progresses so does the
general vitality wane. He has a full knowl-
edge of this, and that knowledge will at all
times be the background against which may
appear temporary changes for better or
worse to arouse public interest, but such
changes cannot deceive the sick man nor
obvinte the certainty that dissolution is
drawing nearer. While on the piazza this |
afternoon Gen. Grant shook hands with Dr. !
NJ. Babcock, brother of the late Gen. o. f. |
Babcock, and with wave of the hand pre- |
sented him to Drs Douglas and Sands, TO |
whom the visitor further introduced himself. |

Portland dispatch: The streets are
crowded again to-day with a hundred
thousand visitors. Everywhere the uni
form OF the Grand Army is conspicuous.
A secret executive session OF the national
encampment began at IL o'clock. The
commander-in-chief said four years ago
there was a membership OF nearly 40, 900.
On March 81, 1885, thirty-eight depart
ments reported 100000 members The
question having been raised as to whether
late Comrade B. f. Stevenson, OF Spring
field, ILL.,, was really the first mover in the
organization OF the Grand Army it is
deemed but simple justice to his memory
as well as to his family and comrades, to
state thatall authentic records confer upon
him that very great honor. There was
stiff fight for the place of holding the next
session between San Francisco and Nash
vile. Powerful, pathetic and humorous
speeches were made in favor OF BOTH San
Francisco received 269 and Nashville ITS
votes.
In his annual report the commander-in-
chief to-day said: am opposed to the
perpetuation OF the Grand Army, believing
the commission OF our great comradeship
Will have been fulfilled when the last COM
rade will have joined the final muster out.

A GREAT DAY IN NEW YORK.
The Occasion, Being the Arrival of tho Mag

The Occasion Being tho arrival of tho Mag
y nifcent Offering from, France.
r The day broke auspiciously for the for
NAL welcome to Bartholdis great statue OF
liberty at New York. The sky was cloud
less and the weather cool. Along the lower
river fronts and the battery great crowds
gathered early in the day. As the morning
worv ~n the multitude increased. Over the
water all sorts OF gaily-decked crafts sped
Lither and thither. They swarmed with
furhan life, and many carried small bands
Of music. Tall buildings in the neighbor-
hood OF Bowling Green displayed the stars
and stripes. Here and there might also be
reen the national colors OF France. The
A. scene in the harbor was one Of the liveliest
description. Nearly every vessel, small
and large, waved the tri-color and the
stars and stripes and all were dressed up
so as to speak for the occasion. When the
the vessels which were to escort the Isere to
Bedloe's island arrived in the lower bay the
|, water was swarming with crafts as far as
3the eye could reach. Soon volumes ofsmoke
went belching forth from the tunnels
OF the Isere, her propeller began to revolve,
and she headed in the direction OF Bedloes
Island. The French man-of-war headed
the procession Soon her gunners opened
a salute OF honor, firing twenty-one guns
in the short space OF sixty-one seconds
Hardly had the smoke cleared away from
1 her deck when the United States man-of-
[war Omaha replied with broadside.
Then the Alliance and the Powhattan fired
their guns. The guns OF Fort Wadsworth
Numbered out a salute as the naval pro-
cession passed. One hundred steamers and
yatchs with flying flags and steamers
crowded with people followed the Isere, the
officers Of which stood on the quarter deck
bowling to the salutes which they heard on
every side. All the way up the harbor till
the head OF the procession reached
reached Bedloe's Island the shores OF
New Jersey and Long Island resounded
with the crash of guns. When the |
anchor OF the Isere was lowered there was |
more firing Of cannon and blowing OF |
whistles and salutes OF people. Bedloe's |
Island was crowded with spectators. After |
parting cheer to the officers, the Isere |
proceeded on her way to the battery, and |
the party went ashore. The boat bearing
the members OF the American committee
and their guests, the officers OF the French
navy, then landed at the battery. The
mayor, aldermen, General Smaller and
staff OF police commissioners and other
civil dignitaries were in waiting, and as
Admiral Lacombe stepped on the shore the
mayor grasped him warmly by the hand
1t was nearly three when the procession
moved to the city, where the guests were
given banquet and afterwards speeches
