THE GRANT FAMILY.

Commenting upon the refusal of the
Grant family to pay the expenses OF EN-
balming the body OF the late General, the
New York Star says: "1t was hoped that
the Grant family, who had done SO much
during his lifetime to wound the Generals
heart and drag his proud name in the dust
OF humiliation, would spare his memory
after death. But this scandalous and
shameful disclosure of the squabble over q
bill for embalming the dead soldiers re-
mains dispels that hope forever. Perhaps
it was an ill-founded and impossible one
from the first"
1t seems to us, though, that even If there
were doubts, and serious ones, on this
point the Grants might we'll have made
some sacrifice rather than have funeral
bill hawked about the streets and it's de-
tails threshed, like SO much foul straw,
in the newspapers. Dwelling, as they are
to-day, in luxury achieved by no merit OF
theirs, and consecrated to them by no SEN
timent OF public respect, they may we'll dis
pense poor fraction OF the income lett
them by the General to shield his name
from such ugly notoriety. They have for
years been sheltered and fed and clothed
by him; they look forward securely TO a
future that his achievements shaveProvided
for them. Yet it seems they are too mean
and dull and sordid to forego one penny TO
save his memory B. stab and spare this
rcverent nation the sorrow and shame
OF it.
If thev but knew it the thing they ought
to hone for most Is that the country may
forget them.

FRENCH MATTERS.

PARIS, October 12.-There is rapid
growth OF war feeling in France.
The Boulanger party have begun to issue
two new journals, La Revanche and LIE
Soldatz's Laboureur, to advocate an oifen-
sive policy in vindication OF the old mill
tary prestige of France. General Boulan-
ger, however, disowns any connection with
the papers. Mons. Lavedon, military
critic, writes to the Figaro that Boulanger
has prepared a well conceived plan in con-
;nnction with staff officers OF high rank for
a continental campaign. The Militaire
saws Boulanger desires war. Not for the
nurpose of recovering Alsace, not to gratify
personal ambition. but as a step leading t"
social questions.
The strictest taboo OF everything Ger
man ;s heinc observed. Mons. Lackeroh
Minister of Commerce, has ordered the po..
lice to prosecute all persons selling boxes OF
toys imported from Germany and contain
ing map OF France without Alsaee.

the Anaconda Smelter.
ANACONDA, October ia serious land
slide several hundred feet in length has
commenced to work down the mountain
near the Anaconda works. One railroad
cut is already filled and the track for about
2OOfeet showed out of place. Communica-
ton with the new works is cut off on the
upper track. The cause of the slide is sup
posed to be the result of the building OF the
large new flume which is built on the noun
tain side above the works and which leak
ed for some time and getting into the fire
clay which underlies that section, the
bottom of the mountain naturally caved
away and thus starting the immense land
slide. Large crevives can be seen on the
mountain side and were viewed by Presi-
dent Adams and Union Pacific officials to-
day, as well as by j. B. Haggin and Marcus
DAILY, Who are here ON the ground. 1t is
feared that the old works will be destroyed
thereby causing much damage and delay in
starting up the smelter::

Pops Up.-The Seized Fishers, Etc.
WASHINGTON. October 12.-It ID under
stood the Mi!es-Geronimo complication
was again under consideration at the Cabi-
net meeting to-day. The Collector of Gus
toms at San Francisco has informed the
Treasury Department OF the difficulties en-
countered in the enforcement OF the Chinese
Restriction Law. It appears that seven
Chinese in transit from New York to Hong
Kon, and three others from Hong Kong to
Honolulu have not yet departed from San
Francisco, although they have had ample
time. The Inspector expresses the suppo-
sition that these persons do not intend
leaving the country, and that even it they
do, it is their purpose to fraudulently OBJ
tain return certificates in order to estab-
lish the right to come and 60 at will. The
Collector also calls attention to the prac-
tice OF federal courts in obtaining Chinese
laborers on writs of habeas corpus and re-
leasing them on bail after the Collector has
examined into their cases and refused to
allow them to land. This practice, he
aays, issabstnnfili an ahroGation Of the
law. s,ssvsss;sssss s's'ss =
Y Acting Secretary Fairchild has written to
the Collector in reply, as follows:
As to thecompeteucy OF customs officers
to enforce the restriction act terminals un-
der the law with the landing OF Chinese
persons, it would seem that the duty to
seek q remedy for the evils pointed out by
you pertain more especially to the prov
ince OF the law officers OF the government,
and you are therefore advised to bring the
facts stated by you to the notice OF the
United States attorney for the respective
districts wherein such facts occur.
Advices received at the Department OF
State this morning corroborate the pub
lisbed report of the hauling down of the
American flag of the schooner Marion
Grimes at Shelbourne by Capt. Quigley. OF
the Canadian cruiser Terror. The action
of the Captain of the Grimes in running
his colors while the vessel was in the GUS
tody of Canadian officers is deprecated ut
the department. It will be likely to need
lessly complicate the department in its
efforts to reach a satisfactory settlement
of the fisheries question. 1t appears that
when the United States cutter Corwin
seized the British sealing vessels in the
Alaskan waters the first official act OF the
captors was to haul down the British
was found in the claim that until the
seized vessel is released she is technically
in possession of the Government making
the seizure. This last incident is not re-
garded at the State Department as likely
to cause any serious trouble and may be
passed over without serious notice.
The President made the following ap-
pointments to-day: VIM. L. Maginnis, OF
Ohio, to be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Wyoming; Daniel J. Sullivan, Of
Prescott, to be Recorder of Public Moneys
at Prescott, Arizona; David X. Wardwell,
of Tombstone, Arizona, to be agent for
Indians at Lelnhi Agency, in Idaho Terri

The Pacific National Bank cases which

to by them when the capital stock OF the
bank was increase d from $500, 900 to ST.
OOO,OO in September 1881. The appeal.
Jog stockholders contend that the capital
stock OF the bank never was validly in
creased to $1,OOO,OO0; that the attempt
on the part of the directors and comp.
troller OF the currency in December 1881,
to fix the capital stock at S961 900 was
contrary to law and void ard that conse-
uuently the shales OF the SO called new
stock On which they are sued never had
any legal existence. The court below de.
cided against them.
