he was appointed by President Har-
rison minister of the United States
to Austria, where his success in Sc
curing the admission OF American
products and in protecting American
citizens from military duty won for
him the highest commendation, and,
on Mr.. Clevelands election, Colonel
Grant was informed that, unless ne
insisted, his resignation would not be
accepted, and that it was optional
with him TO remain abroad as our
representative at the imperial court
of Austria. He insisted. however,
upon resigning, and returned to
America in 1898, since which time he
has made his home in New York, and
under the reform administration of
Mayor Strong was one Of the police
commissioners Of the city.

Grant seated in front of his tent at
