WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Mrs. Gen..
Grant is leading a retired life here.
Her home is the mansion of Sen

900 some months ago. 1t is a comfort
able brick house of perhaps fifteen
rooms, located in one of the most fash
fonable parts Of the city. 1t was built
by Senator Edmunds for his own home,
and it is a very comfortable dwelling

She does not care for newspaper motor

background. My chat with her, how
ever, was SO interesting and SO full of
matter which the American people
should know that I have asked her to
allow me to publish it. 1t was merely
a rambling conversation, and l give it
very much as it occurred.
MRS. GENERAL GRANT AT SEW
ENTY.
But first let me tell you how Mrs.
Grant looks now in her SEVENTEEN year.
She is one of the youngest old ladies
in Washington. You would not take
her to be more than sixty. Her face is
full and almost free from wrinkles. Her
hair is iron gray, and she has quite a
lot of it. Her eyesight has never been
very good, and it has failed now SO that

probably be the case with large corpo-
rations in this country, the German
banks will put in their bids directly
through their Representatives here for
the bonds and will also be responsible
for similar interest through the Nor
gan syndicate in case the bonds should
be secured by the syndicate"

GEN. GRANTS TOMB.
The conversation here turned to the gem
erals death, and l asked Mrs. Grant
whether, having now moved to Washington.
she would not prefer to have him buried at
Arlington rather than at New York. She re-
piled that she did not wish any change made.
She said she could go to New York to visit
his grave and that she hoped his resting
place would never be changed. She then
told me how she happened to come to Wash
lngton, saying that she had not intended
selling her New York house, but that being
told that purchaser wanted it, in order to
save discussion she had fixed price upon it
so high that she did not think any one would
take it She had asked $4,000 for it. To
her surprise this offer was accepted, and she
had to let the house go. In the Meantime
Mrs. Sartoris came over to this country, and
she wished to live at Washington. Mrs.
Grant had found that the climate of New
York such that she could not live there
but few months in the year. and she had
hence bought tie house in which she is
now living. She told me that she liked Wash
ington very much. that some of the pleasant
est days of her life had been spent here, and
that she had regretted much when Gen.
Grants presidential term had come to an
end and she had to leave
FRED GRANT AND REFORM.
In closing my interview I asked Mrs. Grant
something about her sons. She told me that
Jesse ana ulysses Jr. are doing well IN san
Diego, where they are largely interested in
real estate, and are aiding in building up
that city, which they believe will be one OF
the greatest on the Pacific slope. She is much
interested in Col. Fred Grant and in his
work in New York CITY, which she, in con-
nection with many others who know what
Col. Grant is doing. thinks is hardly appre-
ciated by the republic The truth as
learned from well-posted outside parties. and
not from Mrs. Grant, is that Col. Grant is
one of the hardest workers on the
police force. Many of the lines Of
policy and some of the best movements that
have been made il. connection with the i'm
provements in New York city government
were suggested by him. and a great part OF
the active work of the board is done by him.
While Mr.. Roosevelt and the other commission
ers have been tearing the air and making
speeches, he has been working, and. with the
modesty of his father. has made no fuss
about doing what he considered 20 be his
duty. Mrs Grant tells me that Col. Fred
grows more like his father every year, in
both looks and actions. and he has. she evil

er's ability.

She had visited. She described the
honor with which the general was re-
ceived everywhere, and grew enthu-
siastic as she told how well he had
acquitted himself whenever called upon
to respond to some great speech on
the spur of the moment. An instance
of this kind occurred at Liverpool
Said Mrs. Grant: when we landed
the wharves were covered with peo-
pie. There must have been $4,000 faces
upturned to look at us as we came
from the ship. We were received by
the mayor, who welcomed the general
in a grandiloquent speech as he pre-
scented him with the freedom of the
CITY, I trembled while the mayor was
talking, for / knew the general had
prepared no response. 1 was anxious
that he should do we'll in making this
his first utterance in England, and L
wondered what he would say. He both
surprised and delighted me. He made
a splendid speech in reply, saying just
the right things in just the right words.
1t was received with great applause,
and was favorably commented upon in
all the papers,.
81 suppose, Mrs. Grant said I, that
you were often surprised in that way.
Gen. Grant had, l imagine, a nature
which was full of surprises, had he
not?''
uOli iSPliCd 4hi vi ctit,
that I was often surprised at what
the general did. You know I always
considered that Gen. Grant was a very
great man."
GRANT AND WALES.
"By the way, Mrs. Grant, there has
been quite lot published concerning
your reception in England and your
treatment by the nobility
has, and the most of that published
has been entirely untrue. 1 have writ
ten up the exact story in my book, and
it will be published some day. The
truth is that our reception was most
friendly in every respect, and that by
all classes. The Prince of Wales was
especially cordial, and at the dinner at
the Marlborough house, which has
been so much written about, he went
much out of his way to pay the highest
honors to Gen. Grant. l remember,
upon arriving, we had to pass through
a wide corridor to get to the reception
room, in which the guests were stand
ing, preparatory to going out to dim
ner Half way down this corridor
there was a door with green screen
at the side Of it. AS the general and
I walked down together, the Prince Of
Wales came out and shook hands with
Gen. Grant and myself. He greeted
the general very cordially indeed, and
told him that he was anxious that his
sons should see him and know him.

meeting with Queen Victoria, Mrs.
Grant?" said T.

rooms was placed at our disposal, con-
sisting of bed rooms, dressing rooms
and parlor. When we were pre-
sented to the queen, her majesty first
spoke for a short time to Gen. Grant,
and then addressed her conversation
to me. We had only a few words to-
gether. She said she had had the pleas
ure Of meeting my little daughter Mel
lie during her stay in Europe some
years before, and I replied, saying
that my daughter had been so much
pleased with her kind reception that
she had become one of her loyal sub
jects by marriage. The queen said
she was glad Of this, and, with a few
other platitudes, the conversation ter
minated"

He then called the little fellows by
name.
"They were in the room out of which
he had just come. They walked in,
and the prince introduced them to the
general. The boys were, l judge, ten
or twelve years old. The little fellows
shook hands with Gen. Grant, and
then stepped off and looked him over
from head to toe, as though they would
like to see just what kind of a look
ing man he was. We chatted a no
ment longer, and then asked the
prince as to whether we were to move
on to the drawing room. He replied
Yes and we walked on into this
room, where many of the other guests
were assembled. Among those who
were at the dinner were the Emperor
and Empress of Brazil. They arrived
a few moments after we did, and the
Prince of Wales presented them to the
guests. l remember that the Empress
Of Brazil saw me when she was hall
way down the line, and, skipping a
number of the guests for the time,
she came across the room and shook
my hand, saying she was glad to see
me again, and referring to the pleasant
visit she had had in America while
the general was president. 1 suppose
she was glad to see any one whom she
had met before, and for that reason
came at once to me-
