AN INTERVIRW WITH SENATOR CHAFFRE ON THE REMOVAL OF GRANT'S REIMAINS—INTER- EBTING REMINISORNCHS BSpectal Telegram to the Bew, New York, Sept, 18.—The World saye: Tx-Senator Chaffee has just gone home after sponding some timein New York. During his stay here he visited Grant’s tomb, “New York." he sald afterwards to a reporter '‘is purely a commercial city, and looks upon Her citizens will never contribute a million dollars for » monument. If the money is to be raised, Now York people must contribute. No,aid need be expected from other sates, and yet, let his remains ba removed to Wash - ington and money conld be raised inside of thirty days. I wonld guaranteo that tho state of Colorado would give more to the fand than the wholo state of New York, rich as the is, Butitisnot nacessary tomake comparisons reflecting ou New York. The peoplo of the conntry do not believo New York is & proper place for th general's tomb, ond thoy will not contributa money for & monument for that reason, belioving that the burial site must ultimately b changed.” g that iden still agitated?” it is, and I think it will be sucoess- fully carrled out. When congress meots steps will be taken to obtain Mrs, Grant’s consent to the removal, I do not think it will be nard to got, and as soon a8 she docs consent the chango will be made at once.” “Bus whet of the generals messagn to Col, Fred indicating his preferonce for Now York as the city that befrended him in time of hia necd?” “Allstuff. T don't believo he ever wrote cuch amessago. I talked with the general on the subject before hir death, Ho never oven 50 much as mentioned Now York, His prof- erences wore Weat Point, Washington or (ia- lena, The soldiers’ homo will eventually be the resting place for Gen, Grant's remarne,” “‘What are the Grant boys going to do?’ “Fred Grant will bo kept -busy for somo timo superintending the publication of bis father’s book and loukiog after tho family in- terest in it. Ho got a lot ot dates and interesting information 1elat ng to the war and his father’s campaign. He will prepate for publication an appendix to the generals book, but nothing more, To continue tho list, Jessio Graut, the second son, has gone to Turkey to take a position as civil engineer on arailrond, If he succeeds he may make a handsome thig of it.

Tho farm 18 & zood one and consiste of 240 acres, Hoe is managing that at preeent, but is look- mg _arourd for something elso. He isnin an awkward position, for he cannot engage in any tuainess as long as the grent bt of Grant & Ward haogs over his end,” “Did the failure of Grant & Ward shorten the general's days any, do you think.” ““Tho dootors have given' their verdict, lot mo give mine, Cancer was tinally but not primarily the cause of Grant’s death. There Was a greater cancer growing at his heart and causing bum far more pain than the ono in the throat. You can form no ides how the gen- eral took the failure and the betraval of his trust placed in supposed friends, No one will ever know the extent of hus anguish, not even his own family, for he ' was bravest in their presence. I was with him after the exposure of Ward, The general ‘wonld sit for hours ina large arm chair, clutch- ing nervously with his hands at tho arm rests, driviog his fioger nails into the hard wood, It was a pitiful spectacle, Ono day he said to me, ‘Chaffee, T could kill Ward as I would a T beliove I should doit t0o, but I h to be havged for killing such a It is snid Grant had ome object tained lifo in him for months—that of finishing his book snd providing for his family, I know .of another, Ho wished to live' to tertify in court against Ward and brlnr him to jus- tice, During his serious_illness in the spring he was continually asking me to arrange a hearing for bim before the grand jury. The grand jury was mnot in session, and the only way he could have given his testimony would have been by going before a police magistrate. He was anxious to do that even at the time when he could not Jift himselt from his chair, I put him off then,but he again reminded me of it whon he got a little better and urged me to arrange hearing for him. I thought it best to wait awhile, but soon it was too late, Ho had paesed beyond sl earthly cares. It ‘was not the loss of money that affacted Grant 0 deeply; it was the tarnish on his name and the thought of leaving his wife aud family in absolute vanrty. This preyed upon his mind aud so weakened him that cancer found little resistanca in 1ts deadly progress,” Ecouting tha Ides of F¥emoval, Special Telegram to the Ber. New Yorx, Sept, 18.—Among the letters which were recelved to.day by the eecretary of the Grant memorial fund, was one from Ganeral W, T.

Gen. Grants remains have been depoeited in s place selected by his tamily and generously donated by the city, aud they will never be removed to Washicg- wn or any other place.” o —— A Tratn vf Burolog O\, Porrsvicee, Pa, Sept, 17,—[Special to Chicsgo Times. |—=About 10 o'closk this mornlog, as & Philadelphia & Reading freight traip, consisting of ten freight and five oil tank cars, was approaching Hawk’s cut, about two wiles from Delano, one of the tanks was discovered to be on fire.

The balloon would not go up with the profeseor, and detcended about twenty yards from the arting point. At this moment a man named George Plennirg, who 1s & lght weight, now a switchman on the Chicago, Burliogton snd Quincy at Galesburg, snd who has made several ascents, came up and ex- with ths professor.

A, Honna and James W, Savage, aro at Rock Springs, investigating the circumstances attending the late outbreak. They gave a hearing yesterday to a committen of cit.zme, who had” previously presented their case to Mr. Bromley. Nothirg new appeared ns to the alleged griovances against the Chineso or agaicst the employes of the mines, ~The same rule was obseryed with regard to the circum- atances immediately connected with the ont. rages, all witnesses rofusing to eay anythiog whatever concerningthe attack upon theChina- men and the burniog of their quarters. The ex- amination was cbiefly conducted by Judee Sayage, who was materially assisted therein by Mr, Hanne, who is himself o mine owner and familiar with the subject of miners’ griev- ances, Every opportunity has been furnished the citizens and micers to preseut their griev- ance, The government directors decided upon the facts as shown to send the following dspatch to Secretary Lamar: The undersigned government directors of the Union Pacific railway, pursuant to law, report that we have made Investigation upon the spot into the alleged outrages recently oc- curring at this place, We find euch a condi- tion of affairs here as, in our opinion, endan- Rers the property of the road and jeopardizes tha interest of tha Rovern- ment, snd calls for prompt interference. Woe therefore deem it importaut that full authority ehould bs given the proper officers to afford ample assistance to the managers in their efforts to protect the propertv of the company and couduct the business of the road, The Chineso consul at San Krancieco, Colonel Bee, and the Chinesg consul at New York, are héro with a Chineto luterpreter, to make's thorough investigation on behalf of the Cbineso government of all the circumstances connected with the outbreaks, They aro ordered here by the Chinese legation at Washington, Colonel Beo has ulready had the remains of some of the Chinamen who wero killed oxhumed. It was found in two instancs that the skulis of tho Chinamen wore fractured, indicating that they were killed in a strugglo at close quarters. The conculs have offered o reward of $15 each for addivonal bodies found in the vicinity, Accurate returns a3 to the number of Chinsmen killed cannot yet bo made, but 5o far as can be now learned, there are fiftcen 1ssing and the whole num: ber killed 18 twenty-five, 01, Bee has msdo up his mind, from con- versations with citizens and cfficials, that any attempt to bring the offenders to justica through the local authorities will fail. It is Y | his intention to telegraph the state de- partment, through the legation, asking for more vigorous measures for the prosecation of the criminals by the United States courts un- der the provisions of the treaty with China. Col. Bee eays that all of the proceedings that have been had in the matter so far are a bold farce, and unlees this matter is taken in hund by the United Statea authorities there will ba nothing done, He finds eleven of the grand jury befors wh-m the cases of the men already arrested will go ave citizens of Rock Springs, many of them miners, all of them sympathizers with the rioters, while of the petit_jucy fourteen of the twenty-four are from Kock Springs, Col. Bee states as one of theremsrkble results of the inquiry that of the men engaged in the outbreak, not one was an American born citi- zen, He deems itespecially significant that the outery against the Chinese, which 18 de Fendnd upon to justify the outrages, comes rom men who are not themselves native and many of them not citizens of the Unite States, Under instructions from the attorney general, United States District at- torney Campbell csme up from Chey- enne this moroing to mssist the Chinese consults in their Investigation of the affair, Adjutant.General Williarms, of Gen- eral Schofield’s stuff, has wired General Scho- field a statement of the situation, and eiven his opinion that in conacquence of ‘the amount of guard duty to by doue 100 more noldiers should be scnt he Gene'al McCOuok is here, haviog in chargs the Chiness consuls, with instructions to give them the most com- plete protection from insuls or incivility It is thovght thas work will be resumed in two of the wmines Monday.

When they came to the end of the wwitch the engine left the track, and with it five cars that stood on the siding. Then thero was & _scene nover to be forgotten by those who witneseed it. The mangled beast roared with pain, and the little elcphant roared as loud a3 he conld in sympathy. The crush was too heavy to leave any chance of recovery, and the bystanders could only wait of Jumbo's death, It was not long delayed, In two minutes he turned over on his back dead. 1t was fonnd that the baby elephant eus- tained a broken leg, and as there was 1o help for bim, orders were given thet he be put out of his misery, which order was carried into effect yestorday afternoon. e —— LUFFING ON mA®D TACK, A NAUTICAL SORAMBLE FOR THE COMMODORR'S oup, Sasny Hook, Sept, 18.—To-day promises to be favorable for tha race for the commo- dore’s cup.
