NEW YORK, April 2s.-The Grant Ban
quet association organized to celebrate the
birthday of General u. S. Grant, gave its
annual dinner last night at the Hotel Wal
dorf. General Horace Porter, president of
the association, presided There were a
number of presiding officers at different
tables.
The captains, vice commanders and
minor officers of the warships now here
were nearly all present as guests.
General Porter spoke an eulogy of Cen
eral Grant, and then introduced John 5.
Rnnnels of Chicago, who delivered a glow
ing eulogy on the hero of the civil war;
The Duke of Veragua was next called
and told the guests what he thought
about General Grant. 1t gave him great
pleasure. he said, to join drinking to one
who, by his deeds, more than any one else
in modern times, contributed to make this
the greatest country in the world.
General Schofeld made few appro-
pirate remarks, and then made room for
General Pryor, for whom he asked warm
reception, as Pryor had never failed to
give the Union soldiers n warm reception
during the war. Judge Pryor's address
was highly eulogistic of the character
and qualities of General Grant, who,
he said, had triumphed over the
genius of Johnston, and emerged tri-
umphantly over all as the unchallenged
chieftain of the armies of the Union.

the Distinguished solder.

BosroN, April - General John M.
Corse, the s.Hero OF Altoona" and ex-
postmaster of Boston, died at his home in
Winchester yesterday afternoon, after a
very short illness. On Wednesday he was
apparently we'll, but during the night he
had AN attack of heart failure. Three ply
sicians were summoned and gave him all
possible attention. but the attack was
stronger than their skill.
His Career.
General Corse comes from a Huguenot
family which settled In Virginia about 100
years ago. He was born in PIttsburg,
April n, 1885, but his parents soon re-
moved to st. Louis and afterwards to Bur
lington. Ia. He was educated in the pub
lie schools of Burlington, and subsequently
went to West Point, N. Y, where he
graduated in 1857. He resigned his posi-
tion In tho army and went to the Albany
law school. He opened a law Office in
Burlington, but was not able to practice
long before the war called him to put on
his shoulder straps again.

Where News is Suppressed.

A telegram from Buenos Ayres, dated
August 27th, states that the Chief OF
Police on that day summoned the
editors of all the newspapers in the city
to his office at midnight and forbade
them to publish any political or military
news in the future. The writer, when
working on the Buenos Ayres Herald
some four years ago during the last
revolution there, remembers that and
all other newspaper offices in the city
being absolutely taken possession OF
by the police. For nearly week all
publication was stopped and for long
time after the first impression of each
issue had to be sent to the fete poll
ticO for his approval before the balance
could be run of.

HAWAIIAN finances were SO widely

Damon's weekly statements have been
republished by summary in New York,

Mr.. BLoUNT has begun to draw
from his budget Of amusing remi-
niscences of Hawaii. Among them is
a story that one of the correspondents
here tried to settle the revolution on
the line of New York practical politics,
his idea being that the ex-Queen could
be bribed to come out for annexation
by promise of life gratuity. The
correspondent, Mr.. Blount says, claimed
to have fixed up one Instruction in
Venezuela for cash and was sure that
the Hawaiian trouble would also yield to
the gold cure. The name of this en-
terprising journalist does not appear,
though suspicion rests upon VIM. Shaw
Bowen of the WOyld. 1t is worth re-
marking in the same connection that
the scheme which is thus credited to a
visiting newspaper man is the same
one which the imaginative NordOf laid
at the door of President Dole and Min
lister Stevens and which, bul for the
interference of the Georgia diplomat
would have brought the Herald cor
respondent into unpleasant contact
with the law.

The attachment Of Hawaiians to
their flag is natural and becoming, and
on this account it is pleasant to be able
to tell the natives that the cross and
stripes would be as free to wave after
the Islands had been annexed as they
ever we're before that contamination.
Each State and Territory of the Ameri.
can Union is at liberty to fly its own
ensigc; and while California can hoist
the bear, South Carolina the palmetto
and Maine the pine tree, there will be
nothing in the way Of displaying the
historic flag of Hawaii.

MONEY WAITING THE BOOM.

The fact that money is being with
drawn from investment in the United
States and Australia because values
there are on the downward grade, would
be very much to Hawaiian advantage
if annexation should come within the
next few months. As Minister Blount
hints and the New York SHn says,
Hawaii will have a tremendous boom
the moment the American colors are
hoisted here for good. Now with mil
lions of idle capital locked up on the
neighboring continents what could be
more natural that much of it should
find its way to place where values
will be on the rise and will be certain
to reach as great an altitude as they
ever did in the most favored
sections of Western America, TO
the cautious capitalist whose
money has been taken from banks and
stock companies and is drawing him
no further interest, the temptation to
take "hyer" here will be very great.
From experience at home he will know
that if Hawaii had nothing more than a
good climate and an ordinary com.
merce, the group would boom on those
alone for at least couple of years
but when he realizes the immense
groundwork of prosperity in the sugar,
coffee, small fruit, vanilla, cocoa, ramie
and sisal products the enormous trade
that will center at these 'CrOsS-roads

Ir is altogether likely that the AT
lantic passage between New York and
Queenstown will soon be reduced to
five DAYS. This will insure an average
run of 600 miles per diem, rate OF
speed which, if developed in steamer
plying between San Francisco ard Ho'
nolulu, would put these Islands within
three and half days journey of the
coast. One Of the good results Of the
Anne ration boom would be local bust
