THE GRANT TRUST FUND.
Gov. MOrgAn'B Executors Offer to Pay
Principal and Interest to the Trus-
rom the Neso York Sun.

Gov. MOrgan'B Executors Offer to Pay
Principal and Interest to the Trus-
tees.
From the Neso York Sun.
The report that the semi-annual interest
Bn the $3.50, 600 Grant fund, due Aug. /,
has not been paid doubtless arises from
the following condition Of affairs, the ex-
isJence of which is learned from the most
trustworthy sources: When the fund was
invested about $4,000 was used by the
trustees TO purchase 1873 Wabash-Pacific
dividend bonds OF $1,000 par value each.
These bonds were purchased at pre-
MUM Of about 10 per cent. GOV. L. ID.
Morgan and subsequently his estate
guaranteed the principal and interest OF
these bonds for 10 years. The executors
Of the estate, desiring TO push its settle
ment as rapidly as possible, recently
offered ~ pay TO the trustees Of the fund
both the principal and the interest up to
Aug. ]. The representatives OF the estate
aid not, Of course, insist upon paying
the principal, but offered to do so.
Negotiations to this end developed the
fact TO the trustees of the Grant fund that
the Morgan guarantee, which, by the
way, is a clearly drawn contract, is Of
the principal and interest of the bonds
only, and does not include the SIS, 900 pre-
MUM that was paid for them. In con-
sequence of this resolution the trustees
declined on Aug. to accept the interest
on the bonds, which was rendered them
by the Morgan estate, fearing, ii Is sup
posed, that by accepting it they might
prejudice the position they have taken,
which Is that the guarantee is for the
entire $4,000. The interest was there
fore, in default, but not on account of the
Morgan estate, but through the action OF
the trustees OF the fund. Since the
rum0rs relation TO the matter have be-
come current, the trustees. or some Of
them. Mr.. oliver HOyt, principally, have
paid or advanced the amount due Aug i 10
the Grant family.
Nothing has developed yet 10 indicate
how the difference between the trustees
and the Morgan contract will be adjusted.
A gentleman cOnversant with the facts
said yesterday that the position in which
the trustees were placed was a most
peculiar one, as was also the view which
they took OF the matter.
"If," he said, ''they do not avail them
selves OF the Morgan guarantee before the
10 years expire they will have to carry
the bonds until maturity, when they can
get on more than the face value or princi-
pal which George Morgan guaranteed, and
the fund Will still be out the $4,000 pre-
MUM. In the mean time they would
have to take the chances Of default. aud
possibly OF reorganization OF the roads.
At present most Of the bonds included in
the trust are selling below par"
The remainder OF the fund was, II is
said, Invested by Mr.. George Jones, but In
IN what way could not be learned.

KING ALFoNso,s CoNsoRT.
An Unpopular Austrian Woman VINO
Has High Notions of Oaate, etc.

From a Paris Letter 10 London Truth.
King Alphonso is the most popular
member of his family, and he would be
very popular If his wife's head we're not
stuffed with silly Confederation no.
tiOns and ifher attachment to her mother
tongue was not so great that she is never
happy when conversng In any other
All that a dancing-master could teacn
she does to perfection. Nobody couId
strut with more stately grace
than she when in cumbersome
regal traDpings. She performs sauta-
tions, in which the whole body is put In
action, ia a way to cast all the other Ia
dies of the royal family into the shade.
Every one admires the manner In which,
In quadrille, she carries herself and her
long trailing skirts. As her feet and
hands are German, she never wears the
short skirts dear to the Aadrelinas.
But beyond what her professor OF
personal department impaired 10
her, she has not a single quality that
could win prestige. Spsniards are very
egdiitdtre. Every Spaniard, down to the
mendicant, thinks himself gentleman,
and behaves. so far as his social relations
go, like one. Now, the Queen has the
stupid Austrian ideas about the sacred
ness OF caste and the virtue of blazonry.
Her eldest sister-in-laW is too much under
the direction Of the unpopular Canovas,
and has too great habit OF indulg-
ing in ili-natuTed gossip and show
ing off her satire, not to be hated.
Prosperity has not agreed with her. Her
governess, an American lady who dis
Americanized herself by marrying, at
Washington, Spanish don named
ROriente, encouraged in her taste for
tlitle-tattle which 10 not combined with
good nature. The other infantas re-
ceived the same education. AS there
was much that was ''queer'' in the senior
members of their family-in King Fran
cisca, in Monoz, the husband Of Chris
tina; in that high-handed and unscrupu-
lous old lady Queen Isabella and her
brOther-in-law Henrico and sister-in-law
who married Gnell-y- Rente-they grew
up to respect nobody. Their sarcasms,
being devoid of wit, worried without
compelling admiration.

TAGGING THE BUCKS.
A Feature of Gen. Crooks Indian Poll
cy-CattIe- men Leaving the Rsserva-
From "a WasAinalon Star.


From the Washington Star.
Gen. Frank Armstrong. Indian Inspec-
tor, who has just returned from an Off
oial visit to the San Carlos agency, says
he found everything in first-class order.
He says that each buck on the reservation
is tagged, and is required to wear his tag
in sight. These tags are made of brass,
and in different shapes The shape indi-
Gates the tribe to which the wearer be-
longs, and letter OF the alphabet stamp.
ed on the tag shows TO which band of the
tribe he Ia attached. A number stamped
on the tag indicates the individual In
dian. On the rolls his name is written
opposite TO that number so that I'm the
payment OF annuities and the issuing of
rations each buck can be easily identi-
fed. When the time Of settlement with
them comes round, any Indian who does
not produce his tag is sentenced to thirty
days in the guardhouse.
Gen. Armstrong says the system was
devised by Gen. Crook when he first took
the Indians, then just captured on the
war path, TO the reservation, and that 10
works admirably. Gen. Armstrong says
the Indians are thoroughly In subsection,
and the best order Is maintained at the
agency. He also says that there is a
great deal OF fine grazing land In Arizona,
belonging TO the government, which has
not been taken up. Gen. Armstrong says
that cattle owners have about removed
all their stock from the Cheyenne and Ar.
apahOe agency, in compliance with the
Presidents proclamation.

The above remark was made. by Mrs.

who is the victim of an incurable spinal
disease, lay helplessly in a most elegant

tokened great patience and Christian SUBJ

her hair is lily white. Her face looks as

From the Netc York Hera j.
Gen. Rosecrans is not having as agree

of the Treasury as some might suppose.
He strikes opposition in almost every
quarter He finds now that he will not
he able TO get rid Of the chiefs OF the divis-
ions Of his office, although be had asked
their designations and received the same.
The chiefs who were removed have
mustered up influence enough to prevent
their designations from being accepted.
He has also got into slight quarrel with
Secretary Manniug's office. 1t appears
that some weeks ago Gen. Rosecrans is
sued a circular to banks in regard the
transfer of bonds. 1t was matter in
which no other branch of the Treasury
Department had the slightest connection
or interest. Twenty -four years ago, when
Hugh McCullOch was first Secretary of
the Treasury, he issued an order that
all circulars should be Issued only
over the signature of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
1t appears that Gen. ROsecrans did not
know Of the existence Of this order, or
that Ii he did know of it he paid no at
tention 10 1t, and issued the circular over
his own signature as Register. The at
tention of Secretary Manning was called
to the circular, and he wrote a letter to
Gen. Rosecraus directing that the order
OF Mr.. McCullOch should remain in force.
He also asked Gen. ROsecrans TO recall all
Of his circulars that he could, and that
they be again issued over the signature OF
the Secretary of the Treasury,
