Washington, August 18—War

ent ot the undisputed claims
sinst the worlu’s exposition at N**w
rleans, maountti'g to $188 020
here remains only about $61 080 to
paid or account ot claims, the
justice of which is admitleu by the
uanagers of the exposition. Timbal

tion ut $335.000—amounli: g to $85,-

Of each disput-d claim, as may be
found j'ist and equitable.
It is learned at the department that
there is now quite a brisk movement
’ of silver dollais all over the c ut try.
The issue averages about $100 000 a
week. This is more than during the
same period ol la-t year and is slight

coinage of $200 Oi.O.
THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS.
A distinguished member of con
gress from ihe northwest has written
to the secretary ol i he interior that
f he is informed that the settlers, the
"Okalahoma boomers,” have in good
faith dispersed and will no longer ie*
'$• main in camp. This action on their
& part Is largely the result of the Action

ksueoftbe leases and occupancy of
the cattle syndicates in the
Indian territory. He states
that the proclamation of
the president meets wiih universal
favor among the people, and has in
spired the gruffest confidence that it
is evident that the administration
intends to deal with equal fairness
with all clussisof people, and he feels
assured that lb, re will be no further
trouble on the bolder of the Indian
territory.

and ti at no word hi s been received
from h;m since It had been learned,
however, .hat he had the curate of an

and that they bad indulged in
various extravagancies, end that
Brooks’ name bed got mixed up
in tbe St Louts trunk tragedy,
and also got m xed with tl at
of Dr Maxwell. The letter shows
great distress on the part of the
writer, who makes an urgent appeal
for Information in regard to the per
son concerned in the murder. Part
if this letUr was shown to Maxwell
and he recognized the signature as
that of his lather and denied po-s s-
sion of tho letter. He said he would
write to his father aud tell him that
he (Maxwell) whs innocent of
the murder of Prellor, and that
he had perfectly good defense,
In tbe course of tbe conversation

Preiler was troubled with iusomnia
and that he bad prescribed chloro

THE STONE CUTTERS’ STRIKE
Philadelphia, August 18—The

New York, August 17 —Meeting
Mr N E Dawson, tbe stenographer
to the Grant, family, yi slenlay, a re
porter of the Herald asked him if be
had received any news from Mount
McGregor.
“There is little that is new.” Mr
Diwson replied, “i xcept the fact tt a’
the cottage is no longer guarded by
troops. Colonel Jones telegraphed to
Colonel Grant to know it there was
any necessity for continuing the
military guard ou tho cottage, and
the colonel replied that while tie did
not see any absolute necessiiy. still
he thought that the guard prevented
damage being done to the building
and grounds by tbe more pertinacious
of tile relic buuters aul < xcursionis'e.
This answer was followed the next
morning by a telegraphic dispatch
from Colonel Jones ordering the Im
mediate removal of the troops,
and on Friday they left for Fort
Warren.
NO WILL LEFT.
“It would probably prevent an
addition to the number of tbe In
quiries already reeelvtd if the Herald
wou'dsay that Geueral G aut did

and, therefore, did not leaveauy will
Tbe colonel has been written and
U-legrapbed to for the oonteuts of tbe
wlil and also has been asked when
the will would be edmitted to j re
bate. There seems to be some mis
conception in tbe public mind in re-
gaid to tbe pecuniary position of the
Grant 'amily, arising, no doubt, from
some incorrectly repi ried interviews
with the colonel published in several
newspopers,”

“When wilt the Grant memoirs he-
published?”
“The first volume will be issued
about December 1st and the second
about March 1st, All t! at is necessary
to be done in the way of preparation
of the second volume of matter for
publication is an insertion cf letters,
orders and dates in tiie places tb»i
tbe general had himself designated
in the manuscript for tbeir insertion.
"Hub there been any expression ■ f
opinion by tbe family, or any mem
bers of it, as to the proposed removal
of tbe rtmai; s to WashliigtoL?”
"Nr ; that is one of the things that
the colonel d : d not want to i xpress
any opinion about, and I know tba’
no opinion in regard to this n utter
lias been expressed by any member
of the family, and, on the contrary,
I knew that they have persistently
refus'd to talk about i’, although
they had I een frequently asked to d.
so.”
GENERAL TOOMBS’ STORY.
Mr llawsou’s attention was called
to a statement made by General
Toombs, in a recent interview, In
reference to charges agalDsf. Gonerai
Grant when the lBtter was In Cali
fornia. The passage referred to in
the intervn \v, which was shown to
Mr Diwaon, was »s followi;
Til > Tocmbs ai d Crawford fumibes
had always been quite iutima’e G'
Crawfvrd’s sister had married a D
Dent, who afterward died of yellow
fiver in Augusta During Mi
Toombs’ service in tbe federal set at
a young officer named Grant bad
been oourl-mat tislled in Cali font a
for payiug out too much money, ss
quartermaster of the Fourth regi
ment, ;to his brother c/ficers John J
Crittenden, cf Kentucky, appri ached
Senator Toombs to secure congres
sional relief for tbe unfortunate cap
tain. He stated that young Grant had
married Miss Julia, the daughter of
Frederick Dent, of Missouri. This
Dent, itwui developed, was a brother
of the gentleman in Augusta, and it
was hoped that Senator Tombs’ in
terest in a constituent would Induce
him to lend a haud in saving tbe
honor of the Dent family.
“Yes,” answered Mr Dawson, “I
have read that interview, and I have
heard it spoken of in the family. It
is far from being correct, aud I may
as well explain this matter, to which
General Toombs refers somewhat in
de ail, as you have happened lo men
tion if.
THE CORRECT VEKSION,
“When Gen Grant was an officer
(quartermaster) in Mexico lie v a-!
ouligsd to carry ihe 'unds in hi-
trunk. His tent was cut open in 1he
back and tbe trunk drugged ou' ami
cutopeo, and tbe funds, about $1(100
ixtraoisd. Lieut G aru reported this
to tbe proper authorities After tbc
victory of Fort Dmelson a bill wa^
passed by cocgre'B relieving him of
this debt to tbe government without
any solicitation on hie part.
“At tbe time ho resigned from the
army in California he made out his
accounts and sent them, together
with his vouchers, to Washington,
but tbe steamer on wbiob they were
•eat wm deeiroyed by fire and all
thfse papers were lost. Upon tbeir
non-arrival being reported to Captain
Grant, he wrote beck to Sergeant
Bmitb, who had been hisolerk when
bp tosh qunrterniastpr. to forward to
him new vouchers. These were si nt.
bin a long time afterward, and wme
received in the a settee of Captain
Grant, and, tbe value of the package
not being appreciated, put away aud
forgotten. When Gen Grant was can*
didate for the presidency the second
time ihe unsettled acc unta were dis
covered in one of the auditor’s t tfioes
of tho treasury department, and the
mat'er being called to the attention
of Gen Gratit, gave hfs .ebook ’nr
the amount. Thou Mis G au»,
upon hearing this, remem
bered that she had received
those vouchers. But. the president
said that a settlement could not be
effectid then without a great deal of
troublo and the paisage of a bill
through congress for that purpose,
and no rcUou was taken looking to
that ovd. No bill < xcept tl>° one
p s-iai j:.'8t after the victory nt F rt
Duati...n whs ever pabsci for his re
lief. cor was one ever applied for.”
“Is there not seme mistake about
Genera! Grant going to Washington
at the time referred toby General
Tocrab.-?”
"Gen Grant never visited Wash
ington after he went to California
prior to the time he was oalleu there
to receive the lieutenant geueralcy
General Toombs is wrong, too, about
the Dents. Mr Dent, Gen Giant’s
father-in-law, bad but one brother,
who was a lawyer and died a bache
