The Telegram says; There is no longer
doubt that Gen. Grants malady has as

incident to the difficulty of giving him nour-
ishment he can retain in his stomoch. The

the news which was necessarily exciting and
bracng, indicating how far backward in
strength the General has fallen. The disease
itself, too, has come to the surface at other
points, indicating that it has been progressing
rapidly within the past few days. The dis
eased tissue lies in such place that the
knife cannot be resorted to, and there is no
hope in proionging the life of the distn-
guished patient beyond few weeks.
DR.. Douglass SAID tonight that Gen. Grant
slept better last night than for weeks. The
general also had a refreshing nap this morn
Ing He revised portions of his book during

A NEW SCHEME.
1t Proposes the Creation of National
Department of Public Works.
J. c. BLACK.

NEw YORK, March g.
An Albany special to the Commercial Ad-
vertiser, says that an extraordinary. scheme
has come to light here. 1t proposes the crea-
ton of a national department of public works
after the pattern Of that in New York city.
The scheme is based on certain memorials
of the American society of civil engineers
which has been taken up by democratic poll
ticians who are trying to get around the civil
service law and Cleveland's probable enforce
ment of it. A memorial has been circulated
among the influential civil engineers. asking
them to use their influence with members of
Congress for the passage of the measure
A democrat who knows the scope and i'm
portance of the subject, declares that if re-
publican Senators can be secured to act with
the democrats, the latter can bid defiance to
the civil service act.
The ''scope" of the scheme includes the
coast and geodetic surveys, JEWELS survey
improvements of rivers and harbors, all the
lighthouses and ight-ships, civil and secret
service and total expenditure of about $500
annually.
Besides this, there is building of post
Offices, the rehabilitation of the navy and the
construction of coastwise canal between
New York and Warrington.

Cleveland.

ASHlNGToN. March 3.
The President today accepted the resigna-
ton of Arthur's cabinet and signed the com
missions of the new cabinet officers. They
will probably enter upon the discharge of
their duties tomorrow. All the cabinet nom-
nations were confirmed today without de-
bate or division and BY unanimous vote of
the Senate. No other business was done.
The Senate added POO amendments to the
deficiency appropriation bill as it passed the
House. The House receded from its dis
agreement to all but % of these amendments.
The items in the bill are comparatively of
little importance and individually carry but
small appropriations. The paragraph abol-
ishing the census office, which was struck
out by the Senate, was restored to the bill in
the conference committee.
Commander Mohan, commanding the U.
S. steamer Wachusett, reports to the navy
department that he sailed from Callao today
