TMre ha» hardly been a moment that he has not received yards from old army men and friends of his father. He h««, however, seen only his intimate friends and those officially connected with the funeral exercises. He has had no interviews with newspaper men, but a reporter learned from Mr. Henry Clews, who is an intimate friend of the Grant family, their future plans. Tfie whole family will return to Mt. Me- Gregor on Monday after the funeral and remain there until October. They will then occupy their house here on East Sixty-sixth street. Mrs. Sartoris will retnrn to England, where sho will stay until spring; sho then intends to return to this country and spend a year with Mrs. Grant. U. S. Grant, Jr., will go back to his farm and hopes before long to renew his law practice in New York. CoL Fred. Grant expects to be occupied for some time in arranging his father's affairs. There are a great many matters which will require his attention and will take until fall to settle. CoL Grant then intends to devote himself to railroad interests and thinks that he will settle in the west. He says positively that he will not enter the army again under any circumstances. It is understood that he has had offers of a position in the army if he will accept Mrs. Grant is at Mt. McGregor and will not attend the funeral here. She at first hoped to accompany the remains of her husband to Albany and thence to their final resting place in New York. But sho is much prostrated, both mentally and physically. She has hardly been able to leave her room at the Drexel cottage, and is far too weak to endure the journey to New York. Mrs. Grant from the first firmly believed that her husband would recover. Each time ho rallied she was the more confirmed in her hopes. When he was prostrated the last time she believed he would again rally as before. So, although every other member of the family was hourly looking for the general's death, Mrs. Grant was wholly unprepared. The shock was, therefore, notwithstanding his long illness, a blow. The family advise a change of surroundings for their mother, but she cannot be induced to leave Mt. Mc- Gregor, unless for New York. They have therefore decided to remain with her until ■be returns to her old house in this city. Mrs. Grant intends to live here where her husband is buried for the rest of hor life. She is now accompanied at Mt. Mi Gregor by her two sistera and a sistor of Gen. Grant The family do not look for any serious results from her proitration, as Mrs. Grant is a person of great physical strength. . HENDRICKS ON GRANT. llTAN AGAIN BEATS PRI8CILLA.

Thorn, (Hi rison and Huntington, upon their investigation of the coast surrey has been submitted to the secretary of the treasury. It states that they took possession of the bureau on July 24 and conducted an Investigation, leaving no ground for doubt that the actual oondition of the su* ray was one of demoralisation and its working* inefficient, unjust and to some extent disreputable. The regulations are partially to blame, but the late superintandaat is chargeable with a willingness to avail himself of opportunities for a cnotinuance of abus", weakness and procrastination, favoritism and arrogance, disregard of regulations, an 1 notorious use of intoxloants. This combination seems to have been demoralising to subordinates. The investigation showed a large number of irregularities, which ire set forth at great length, and which invelvi reckless extravagance and gross mismanagement. The committee find that Professor HilgardN habits and methods, his failure of faculty or perversion of moral sense unfit him for a position of responsibility. . The report says the dismissal of C. O. Boutelle from the service is perhaps ubreserved, but his restoration to his former placq is deprecated. The restoration of G. A. (MrgmuUer would, it is claimed, be detrimental to the morals of the coast survey. Evidence was given indicating Mr. W. B. Morgan's neglect to call attention to unusual or apparently unnecessary charges while  agent of the bureau, and the report alleges that he has become addicted to the use of intoxicants. His restoration to duty Is net recommended. An early change is recommended in the interests of morals and. discipline in the position of clerk In charge of the drawing division now held by Mr. W. T. Bright The report vindicates Mr. A. Zumbrock, of the electrotyping room. THE VICE PRE8IDENT 3AY8 HE AL- A LITTLE RUSSO - AMERICAN WAR THE LAST TWBUTE8 PAID BY A SORROWING NATION. . WAYS ADMIRED HIM.

Londok, Aug. 7.—There mi a little Russo-American warfare In tba Grand hotel Wednesday night Unlike tie Anglo- Russian affair it was unattended by tedious diplomatic par ley in gs, but it was begun and ended in one brief battle from which America emerged, M usual, victorious. A young sprig of Muscovite nobility, who is an attache of the Russian embassy in London, was dining in the ordinary of the Grand with a noisy party of friends, all of whom were rather overheated with wine. Just opposite them was seatetfa quiet, middle-aged American gentleman, who was also dining with a friend. The Russians began a tirade of abuseagainst the English, whom they called braggarts and cowards, and boasted that they would soon give them another lesson like that at Penjdeh. Then discovering from a remark made by the quiet gentleman at the other side of the table that he was an American, they diverted their attack to the American people, calling them a nation of parvenus, a pack of canaille, etc. The conversation was carried on in very loud tones and in French. The American made a remark to his companion in French to warn the Russians that he fully understood what they were saying, but the warning was unheeded, and the torrent of vulgar abuse flowed on, the swaggering young attache beine the most blatant and audacious in Ills insolence. The placid American arose without a word, seized an empty decanter by the neck and smote the budding diplomat upon the head with a whack that resounded through the dining hall. The Russian jumped to his feet and began fumbling far his revolver, but die American prooeedsd to hurl plates and glasue at him with such fearful rapidity and such skillful aim that tho Russian was glad to retreat One or two at his oomrades seemed inclined to stand their ground, but they saw that the American's ammunition was by no means exhausted and they all flM. The whole body tt guests in the dining-room, most of whom were Englishmen, lustily cheered the American, who calmly resumed his interrupted dinner and conversation. I* is said that the young diplomat formally complained of the assault to Baroo de Steal, and asked the ambassador to take official action to secure redress. The veteran ambassador is reported to have advised the attache to become mere proficient in the manly art of self-defence before stirring up any more casual and placid looking Americans. Lord Randolph Churohill made his official debut as secretary of state for India by presenting the Indian budget to the house of commons in a neat speech, a summary of which be sent to the reporters' gallery before its delivery. There was a good deal of curiosity as to hew this audacious youngster would comport himself in so responsible a position, and in dealing with so prosaic and at the same tame so weighty a question as the year's finances of Iifdia. The general verdict is that the young secretary did very well, and his speech has certainly created a good impression. Lord Randy is quickly learning the airs and graces of an old cabinet minister. His manner was easy and sometimes even jaunty, but there was none of the impudent buffoonery of which he has so often been guilty and which his enemies believed he oould net lay aside. He answered one or two questions that were sprung on him with ease, showing agrasp of the Indian financial problem which astonished his critics, and some questions which he could not or would not answer be brushed aside with a grace that would net have discredited even that past master ct parliamentary fence, Gladstone. On leaving St Petersburg for his twe months vacation M. de Giers, the Russian foreign minister, was accompanied to the station br Sir Edward Thornton, the British ambassador to Russia. On the way they had a long, friendly and familiar chat, and at the station the Russian statesman warmly shook hands with the British representatives M. de Giers arrived at Berlin and was met by Count Schouvaloff, the Russian ambassador to Germany. NlW Yom, Aug. T.—The crowd of spectators who were anxious to view the body continued to increase during the afternoon, and the double line extended from the city hall to Center and Chambers streets, and as far down as Franklin stroet on Broadway.

I heard of Gen. Grant's death with a feeling of deep sorrow, although I had been anticipating his demise ever since the last session of the senate early last spring. I always had a high regard for Gen. Grant as a man «nH great admiration JCor his ability as a soldier and a statesman. He was the greatest of his time—always composed, firm and self-reliant, in battle, to high places of responsibility and even np to the moment of his death. He never made a speech, even if but one or two lines in length, that was not full of wisdom, and whatever he said was effective and held the attention of the public. He developed a new quality when he undertook the writing of his book and articles for the magazine. They are smooth and quite finished productions, considering tbe difficulties under which he wrote, and will bo of great value as authorities for all time to come. His fame will make their sale unprecedented in the annals of books." "Do you think civil service reform, socalled, has become firmly enough engrafted upon our politics to be called an established fact?'

That Is an evil .awl false interpretation of it, but the fault oannot b» remedied by a subsequent enactment, for ho law can be passed, that will juatiy and honestly regulate the matter of removals. The only remedy is In the hands of the president and to him we will appeal. If he becomes satisfied, aa wo are now that such interpretation of the law and allowing postmasters to make removals indiscriminately really vitiates its spirit and evident purpose, it will be hto duty to remove Mr. Jones, and we shall present it to this .light," Democrats are all pleased with the rsiult, and many BepobMnssi are equally wall satisfied. .
