BLOOD POISONING FEARED.
General Grants nephew, U. S. Grant,
was asked to-day about the sufferers
nave Deem JaIkIng Win the ooc-
tors about the matter myself and they
inform me that there Is nothing what
soeyer for us to worry about at present.
My uncle's great will power. which
has shown itself 30 strongly In this Ill
ness, is not in the lest impaired. He IL
not despondent, and Furthermore he has
never beeen 30, as has been reported in
the newspapers. do not know where
the authority came from for the state
ment that he last Sunday expressed a
| wish to die. 1 never heard of any
such expression on his part until l saw
1t In the papers, and 1t seems to me
that, mingling as much as as do with
| the family, l would have heard about
1t II be had said such thing"
"What symptoms In the Generals
condition do the doctors look forward to
with the greatest alarm? 2"
Pyamia-blood poisoning" replied
the young man. 1.-THE physicians have
the cancer itself pretty well under con-
troll ,as understand it, and they believe
they can suppress its development &C
that IL will not reach the fatal point fol
some weeks yet, perhaps for some
months. The poison from the excres-
ence might, however, finds its way tt
the blood, and that is, / believe, tht
contingency which is at present most t.
be feared"

, house that he had conversed Will
General Grant. At times he seemed

to Senior Romero, and he intimated tina
the depreciation Of Toledo and Wabash
in which the trust fund was invested
