General Grant.

Mt. MCGREGoR, June 2S-In the after
noon the general dictated for some time in
a whisper to stenographer. After sleep
ing half an hour, he spent some time in
writ;..., and after that sat before the log
fire in the cottage. While sitting there Dr.
Douglas came in and made some remarks
about the work he had done, and the gener-
al produced his little conversation pad,
which he handed the physician, having
written on it as follows: Il have
now dictated and written out all the notes
have prepared, and now 1 shall not have
that on my mind any more" The doctor
expressed the opinion that Grant had today
accomplished more than upon any day
during an extended period, and that his
work was such as he could not have done
on any day of the last week he spent in
New York. The result of the dictation and
writing was nearly a column of ordinary
newspaper matter.

Death of Hon. Richard L. Merrick-The
Cheyenne War,

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Hon. Richard T.
Merrick died at 1918 this forenoon, of con-
gestion Of the brain, at his residence, in
this city, in the 59th year Of his age. He
was unconscious for several days before
his death. His eldest daughter was the
only member of his immediate family pres
ent at his deathbed. Mrs. Merrick is very
i'll and was not aware of the critical con-
ditiOn of her husband, as her physicians
deemed it undesirable to inform her. Last
night there were signs Of improvement
in Mr.. Merrick's condition, but the apparent
rally of his physical powers was Of short
duration. About a quarter to 4 o'clock
this morning it was observed that he was
sinking, and then all hope was abandoned
A little later, near o'clock, he seemed to
rally again, but the hope that the change
inspired was delusive. In few moments
he began to sink again, and then the decline
continued until death ensued. He passed
away very calmly and quietly, but never re-
gained consciousness. The funeral will
take place Thursday from st. Matthews
church.

SURVEYOR GENERAL JULIAN, of New Mexico. has recommended the contirma- tion of Spanish grant conveying about 1000 acres, known as the Santo Tomas Abiquiu. To this class of land claims be Is giving particular attention, apPly- ing to them the following series of questions:
 l. Is valid grant shown to exist by the documentary evidence on file:
 Z. If not, can its existence be fairly inferred from lonC-coDtiuUed and unIn- terrnpted possession. coupled with acts of official recognition by the Spanish Gu- thorities?
 3. If the existence of grant can be so inferred, has it ever been made valid by the sanction and approval of the crown of Spain?
 f. Can mere prescription under the Spanish law be relied upon to establish a title to lands claimed under an alleged grant:
 ,. Do the provisions of the Spanish law applicable to other grants apply to grants made to Indian tribes?
 These questions are fully considered in the light of numerous citations of Spanish law and the decisions of our American courts and after careful re- view os inc whole case the Surveyor General, if satisfied. recommends the confirmation Of the grant by Congress. If the same course be applied to the gI- gHntic preten;Ions put forth by some of the would-b grant owners in Arizona. many thousand acres of good govern ment land xIll again be open to pre- emption and settlement.

AN organization of the practical busi-
 ness men of this city has frequently been
 suggested. The aim and purpose of
 thIs body which is to be non political in
 tine broadest meaning of the word, is to
 discuss some plan by which a healthier
 condition of business can be brought about. Matters pertaining only to the
 prosperity Of the city and county should
 be discussed, all others to be left severe y alone, "If," says the originator of thls idea, ''the business men of this will come together and go vigorously at work much good can be accomplished. The proposition to build sampling works has not yet been abandoned, but before anything can be done We must through regularly appointed channels, determine the actual quantity of ore at our command. Cock and bull stories will not build smelters nor keep them supplied when constructed. Commit tees shall Ee empowered to determine this and they shall report in writing the result of their labors. I, then 1t can be demonstrated that the requisite amount oi ore can be had there can be no trou- bls in building and equippIng said works" In like manner other things could be investigated and the vario1s avenues of trade fostered and encour- aged and new ones opened up. Certain tt Is that. something must be done or the old pueblo will go begging for some one to bury it. Schemers and wind bags looking only to their sgrandiz- ment will be out of place in such a gathering. Those participating must be satisfied to work for the common good, and in due tune they will be re- warded by a healthier condition of trade, an enhanced value of property and free circulation of money. If the smelter project IS not in favor let committee of business men determine on one that is.

THERE Is much cause for complaint against the traffic in Mexican ten cent pieces that Is now being carried on in Tucson, to the almost entire exclusion of the fractional currency of the United States. This Mexican money is pur- chased for S0 cents on the dollar, brought here aud worked off at par to the manifest injury of those receiving It. In the course of q days business the merchants find that they have tske2 .ai,p1 aIl tine way from five dollars to twenty aollars' worth Of the depreciated coins. T6is they are obliged to dispose of at twenty per cen, discount with corresponding loss on their profits. A movement is now on foot to comhne forces against it and to accept it only at its actual value. This is as it should be at least till the traffic Tn said com has been stopped.
