General Grants Remains.

New York, Oct 29.-During several
weeks past there has been much specu-
lation in the minds of the New Workers
as to whether General Grants body
would remain here or be removed from
the State. These doubts grew out of
the recently published statement, at
tributed TO Hon. j. 3. Chaffee, TO the
effect that the family of General Grant
did not wish the Generals body to re-
main in this city, and that Congress. at
its next session, would take action in
the matter. In order to make sure
about the matter, the Grant Monu-
mental Association decided to take
action, and on the 10Th instant Mayor
Grace, its Vice President. wrote letter
tn Mrs. Grant, stating the runors at
some length, saying they were likely to
interfere seriously with the raising of
the funds for monument and asking
her to make a definite and positive
statement on the subject, to be given to
tho public. Her reply is appended:
NEW YORK, October 29.-DeGr Sir
Your letter of the 10th came during my
absence and was seen On my return
from Long Branch. Riverside was
selected by my son, and family, as the
burial place of my husband, General.

able 10 visit his resting place often;
third, have believed and am now con-

Diaz and Bismarck.

NEW YoBK, October pa Washing
ton special to the Post says: President
Diaz, of Mexico, acting upon the as
sumption that the reciprocity treaty
with the United States will not be rati-
fed, is negotiating with Germany for a
loan to help Mexico out of her financial
difficulties. His hope was that the
treaty would lead to such large Ameri-
can Investments in Mexico that it
would not be difficult for him to
place a loan in the United States.
He first tried negotiations with England
and, 1t is said, was preparing to make
large commercial and other concessions,
but England declined to assume any
new responsibilities. Now, the story
& es, DiaZ has applied to the German
government, as the last resort, with
proposition similar TO that made earlier
IN the year to the government of Great
Britain, and negotiations upon the sub
ject are now said to be pending. The
Germans here, who ought to be well in
formed on the subject, express the opin-
ion that Bismarck will grant Mexico's
request, if she will grant to Germany
certain colonization privileges, and the
Mexican government is disposed to &C
cede 10 this demand. If Mexico shall
make concessions to Bismarck, the
United States will be greatly interested
to know the nature of these concessions,
and whether or not the treaty which
may be entered into would be in viola
ton of the Monroe doctrine. Unless
the diplomats are very much mistaken,
the United States will soon have an OPP
portunity to decide that question.

A later report saws:

a IaUeT report says.
General Geo. b. Mcclellan, ex-Com-
mander of the Army of the United
States, died suddenly this morning at
$50 from exhaustion, produced by re-
peated shocks of neuralgia of the heart,
at his home on Orange Mountain.
Though he had nearly completed his
seth year, he had preserved not only
buoyant spirits, but buoyant youthful
agility. Therefore, when he began.
about three weeks ago, to feel
pains OF the, heart, neither he nor
his medical man. DIR. Seward, OF
Orange, nor any of his family, regarded
the matter as serious. He and every
one else believed yesterday that the
troublesome malady was either gonetor
good or at least for. a long time. In that
that belief, the General ordered his car
rage yesterday morning and drove TO
Orange, accompanied by his only daugh-
ter. saw several gentlemen on business
and made an appointment with one OF
them tor IL o'clock to-day. he returned
home in excellent spirits, ate hearty at
his meal hours, and retired to rest: About
IL o'clock the pains returned, and mes
Senger on h rseback was dispatched
down the hill for a doctor, who came
back with the least possible delay; when
he found the patient in extreme agony.
The paroxyms returned with a rhyth-
mical frequency that was alarming, and
the homeopathic remedies which the
skill of the doctor suggested, were no
more efficient "a n those which had
been supplied by the intelligent atfec-
ZION of General McClellan's wife and
daughter, who had ministered to him
increasingly from the fist alarm. For
four hours he suffered the most excru-
eating agony. About 3 O'Clock there
was a change, the eyes OF the
patient began to grow brighter,
and his face, that had been
white with pain, began to recover
its usual rudy hue. He gave long,
deep sigh of relief. smiled family and
said: Il feel easy now; thank God, l
have pulled through" Then he sank
back upon the pillow as If exhausted,
closing his eyes. The doctor, who was
watching his face with extreme solicit
tude, saw the unerring signs of the APP
preaching collapse. and whispered to
Mrs. Mcclellan: Il fear he is dying"
1t was but too true. General Mcclellan
raised himself up on one hand. half
opened his eyes, and fell back dead. No
arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral.
New YORK, October 29.-Though no
definite arrangements in regard TO the
funeral OF General Mcclellan have been
made it is probable the services will
be held in the Madison Square Pres
byterian Church on Monday, and the
interment will be at Trenton. The fam
ily has been deluged with messages of
from all parts of the country
and from Europe. General Fitz John
Porter says, though General McClellan's
recollections were burned, he
has succeeded in reproducing most of
them and that they will be published
soon and that they will create a stir
equal to that caused by publication of
0epew's letter on the Grant-Johnson |
natter.

Bank OF Paris, who came here to aid

lty OF arranging matters for the rail-
ways, when the railway companies IN
expectedly demanded an alteration of
their respective concessions. They de-
nanded certain privileges in the direc-
ton OF rel eating unbuilt lines.
greater freedom in making freight
rates, etc. The cabinet thought
the railways were crowding the
government, and all ARRANGEMENTS
fell through. The government
now takes the ground that, inasmuch
as the concessions were originally
granted by Congress, all petitions for
alterations of concessions must 20 to
! Congress. The suspension of the SUBJ
sides was an executive act pure and
simple, and the President has power to
authorize their resumption, but as the
matter stands Congress must decide,
Opposition members in Congress insist
that the government must submit both
the June deerees to that body for its
approval.
