GEN. GRANTS DEATH
DUB TO OYERWORK
Demands Of Patriotic Societies Too
Heavy for His Health-In.
tended to Retire.

The sudden death OF Gen. Fred Grant
n New York Thursday night may be
attributable. IN q way, according to an
authoritative report brought to Wash
ngton yesterday. to q constant demand
upon him from various patriotic socie-
ties for addresses and letters. Gen.
Grant expressed to his feilow-oaicers his
appreciation that these requests came
TO him because OF the esteem in which
the patriotic people Of the country con-
tinue to hold his father. and he faith
fully endeavored to meet all requests.
Although the hard work and worry
which resulted from these efforts may
not have been responsible for the origin
Of the malady that proved fatal. his
friends in the army hold that II greatly
aggravated the trouble. When he found.
within the last few months. that he could
not satisfactorily keep up this corre-
spondence and fulhll his military duties
without injury TO his health. he began
TO seek an opportunity of leaving the
service. He would have had but two
years from May 90 next before being re-
tired for the maximum age Of sixty-four
years, but his physician Is understood to
have Informed him less than month ago
that II might prove fatal to him to at
tempt to MI out his military career.
Grant had taken up, through UNOFFICIAL
channels, the subject Of his retirement
He faced the unusual situation Of being
near the legal retiring age. yet without
thirty years service, which Is necessary
for voluntary retirement. While he en-
tered West Point in 1855, he resigned in
lsS1, and vas not reappointed until 1885
Accordingly, he had not had thirty
years consecutive service. In fact. Gen
Grant lacked three years Of having a
total service of thirty years.
The question had been raised whether
he could not have voluntarily retired as
q veteran OF the civil war, official recog-
milton having been given TO his having
accompanied his father. Gen. Grant. In
one of the latter's campaigns. How
ever, he was less than fifteen years old.
and was not enlisted in the service.
BY law the President can compulsorily
retire an officer after he has become
sixty-two years old. Gen. Grant would
have been sixty-two May ~, and II is
understood he was considering taking
advantage Of this opportunity. At the
opening of the Spanish war Gen. Grant
was quoted as saying that he had made
the mistake Of his life by resigning from
the army, and he did not care to finish
his military career by resigning again.
Being in i'll health he could have been
retired upon recommendation OF re-
firing board. but naturally he preferred
10 avoid this sort OF procedure.
1t was learned yesterday that several
weeks ago, after going on leave. Gen.
Grant had removed all his furniture and
private belongings from his ONCE at the
headquarters OF the Eastern Division, on
Governors Island Although he had not
resigned his appointment as commander
of the Eastern Division, information
reaching the War Department Indicated
conclusively that he had regarded his
army work as finished and was planning
to ask the President to retire him upon
still on leave.

HORSE FINDS TREASURE
Kicks Dirt on Old coins Which Go to
Grown.

Ogdensburg, N. Y Aug. IA
horse kicked a remarkable treasure
1rove into view on John McEwen's 8
farm on the Canadian side of the st.
Lawrence river last night
Six pieces of silver flew from the
horses hoof when the ANIMAL was be-
ing driven across a field. The driver
jumped into the horses tracks and
digging with his hands, turned up 14S
coins-three Spanish pieces, one Brit
ish, one fve-franc piece and 143
United States half dollars.
BY English law treasure trove goes
10 the crown, so the coins have been
turned over to the police. They date
from 1906 to 1928, and were found
buried in straight rows standing on
edge, onyy three inches under ground.
Workmen who built the Rideau
canal were paid in American silver, it
being part of the indemnity paid by
the United States to Great Britain.
This money was sent to the canal dis
trict in kegs, some of which were
stolen and never recovered.
1t is believed the money found is
some of that lost eighty years ago.
