of the Futility of further 15f-
fortn In llehnlf of It *
WASHINGTON , Feb. S. Senator Aldrlcb
nd other friends ot the Nicaragua canal btl
have had conferences withe Speaker Reed
and other house leaders during the day
regarding the possibility of the bill being
brought up In thn house In case. It nhouli
pass thn senate. The result has been that
11)6'bill ) will bo abandoned In the senate nexi
Monday and tbo bankruptcy bill be brought
up. The friends ot the Nicaragua bill , while
In a majority , doubt If Iho senate can bo
brought to a vote , but they know the fu
tility of their efforts unless there Is some as
surance that the bill will receive considera
tion In the house. Nothing but a phynlca
- test would bring the till to a vote now , and
a largo number of those supporting the
bill will not go Into such a test when It
will not even bo taken up In the house
The confcrclire today convinced theBcnn -
tora that the Nicaragua canal bill will not
receive cotiMldcratton In the house , and they
decided that It was better to withdraw It
Senator Sherman has given notice that h
will nsk the Donate to go Into executive se
slon on Monday , Immediately after the dls
posal ot the routine morning business , fo
the purpose of taking up the arbltrultoi
treaty. It Is expected that the motion wll
be antagonized by those who deslro to have
other measures considered. The motion wll
conflict directly with the Nicaragua ! ! cana
bill , and , with that measure out ot the way
with the bankruptcy , the Pacific railroad
commission and the Hawaiian cable bills , the
friends of each ot thsso mca.iurcs belnc
very anxious to secure recognition. There
Is no general opposition to debating the
treaty at this time , even on the part of those
who oppose Its ratification on Its own uc
count , but even some of these who are dls
posed to support It , are Inclined to waver be
cause It will , If taken up , displace other
measures In which they are Interested.
WILL SILVER SENATORS OPPOSE ?
While thu silver senators deny that aa
such they are opposing the treaty , the fac
leaked out today that ut the meeting las
.Siiturday , Senator Dunlol ralsoJ the poln
that In case the United States should adop
the free coinage of silver , England wouli
have a cbilm under the treaty for the < "f
ference between the value of principal and In
tcrest of American debts held in England
under the new system , with a double stand
ord and under the old or pres
ent system with the single stand
ard. It was suggested that If this question
Lhould become , the subject ; of arbitration , I
would lead to many complications , nm
while the senrtor did not contend that sucl
would bs the case , he argued that the possl
blllty was one which deserved serious con
Bldcrntton.
The conferees on the Immigration bill
which was yesterday recommitted to them
reached a second agreement today. The re
quirements In thn first report that Immi
grants shall read "the EngllHU language or
the .language of their native or resident
country" Is changed so as to require them
only to read "tho English language or some
other language. " This section was also
amended so as to admit the Illiterate wives
and minor children of Immigrants who arc
otherwise qualified and capable.
Section 9 , which authorized Immigration
officers to take Into custody immigrants who
obtain admission to the country by franc
or deception was stricken out to meet the
objection that It contained matter which ha <
not been acted upon byi cither house of con-
gross.
Senator Lodge , manager of the bill on' ' the
part of the senate , says ho now thinks'It will
pass without any aerlous opposition. Senator
Hill , who was one of the critics of the or
iginal report , says lie will never support It.

WASHINGTON , Fob. C. The senate today
admitted Richard H. Kenney to the Dela
ware seat vacated many months ago by
Mr. Hlgglns , nnd which has since then been
the subject of controversy. This augmented
tlio democratic membership to forty , and
for the first time raised the full membership
of the senate to Us proper quota of ninety.
It effects no essential change In party
strength , however , the division being : Re
publicans , Including Independents , 44 ; demo
crats , 40 ; populists , C ; total , 90.
All opposition to the seating of Mr. Kcn-
noy was withdrawn , republican senators con
ceding that his credentials from Governor
Tunnel certifying that the regular legisla
ture had chosen him In duo form gave him
a prlma fnclo right of admission. Jlr.
Chandler and Jlr. Hoar expressed thlsi view
nnd stated that Mr. Kenney's title would
bo attacked hereafter on the ground that
bis credentials ; while prlma faclo correct ,
came from a legislature- fraudulently elected.
Mr. Hoar made the further statement that
the Dupont case could not bo reopened ,
' having been passed upon by the senate.
The effect of this course Is to leave J. B.
Addlcks as the contestant for the seat held
by Mr. Kenney.
The canal debate proceeded without

WASHINGTON , Feu. ! > . The testimony
taken before the senate committee on nava
affairs In regard to the report on armoi
plato was made public today. Tbo repor
shows that General Manager H. C. Frlck
of the Carneglo company submitted a writ
ten proposition agreeing to leave some o
the differences between the company ant
the United States to arbitration , and that
General Superintendent Schwab went even
farther than the manager. Mf. Prick's letter
was dated at New York February 1 , ant
said , among other things : "Two items wo
ask to be left to arbitration , the government
appointing one arbitrator , wo another , those
two the third , and a decision ot the majority
to bo final , all these men , of course , to be
Impartial and uninterested In steel manu-
fuctures. The Items he specified were :
1. An annual dividend of C per cent on
capital atock , which ho contended ivas just.
2. lie complained that tbo sinking fund
allowed for depreciation Is only about 4
per cent of tbo cost of the plant , which he
thinks too low.
Mr. Schwab's statement of the position of
the company on the subject of arbitration
was lirought out by a question from Senator
McMillan. The colloquy on this point was
as follows :
McMillan Is It true that profits paid by
the government' have practically paid for
all of this plant ? "
Mr. Schwab No , sir. It Is not true , bc-
cause the profits have been calculated on n
falsa basis. We cannot show you that' with
out showing you our books. Wo have ve-
f used to show thorn for a good many reasons.
We cannot show them to anybody , but it Is
absolutely not true. In no branch of our
business do wo consider our capital as
poorly Inverted as in armor. Tnoro is 110
branch of. the business that has given us so
much trouble , so much worry , and
In which wo think wo have such
a poor outlook as wo have In
armor. So strongly do wo feel on this point
that there la nothing which would please
us better and wo are thoroughly In earnest
when we say that wo would llko for the gov
ernment to take our plant. Wo have un
doubtedly the best plant In the world.
Senator Smith At what cost do you sup
pose ?
Mr. Schwab Wo will fix the value by
arbitration the value of the plant and the
processes and everything. They are all sub
jects of arbitration and valuation.

NEW YORK , Feb. B. When Chalrma
Lexow called the joint legislative commute
on trusts to order today there were prcscn
upon subpoenas to testify II. O. and Tlico
dorc tlavemeyer , besides a number of me
prominent In mercantile pursuit ? , and several
oral lawyers , whose Interests It was suppose
might be affected by the Investigation , i
letter was read from 0. D. Richards & Co
steamship agents ot this city , calling attcn
tlon to the alleged existence of a pool b
the transatlantic steamship companies an
asking an Investigation Into Its methods.
Theodore Havemeyer , vice president of th
American Sugar Refining company , was the
sworn , having explained that prior to 189
he was connected with the eight sugar refln
Ing companies now operating as the Amcr
can. Mr. Havcmeycr eald that ho had noth
Ing to do with the commercial or fiscal sld
of the business. Ho could not give th
capitalization of the various companies tha
were abiorbtd In 1891 without a refcrenc
to the books ; that was a matter upon whlc
.Mr. Scarles would probably bo able to lu
form the committee.
The question was then put to the witness
"Do you ( meaning the American Suga
Henneries company ) , transact any buslnes
save sugar refining ? "
"I think not. "
"Have you not recently been led Into the
manufacture of coffee ? "
"Yes , sir , I am connected with n coffee
company In Ohio. "
OUJECT OP CONSOLIDATION.
"What was the object ot your consollda
tlon In 1S91 ? "
"To rcflno augar. "
"U'as not your company organized , Sir
Havcmeycr , to control the refining andi sale
of sugar In the United States ? "
"I think not , elr. "
"Do you not control the sugar markets o
the United Steles ? "
"No , sir. "
"Was your company not organized for the
purpose of preventing combinations o
labor ? "
"No , sir. "
"Havo you not Increased the capital stocl
of the company slnco 1S91 ? "
"Yes , sir. " ,
"To what extent ? "
"I should say about $25,000,000. "
"How many sugar companies outside o
yours are there In the United States ? "
"I should say about eight. " The wltnes
then enumerated the names of the com
panics. In reply to another question , Mr
Havemeyer said that the American Suga
Refineries company produced from 73 to 7
per cent of the sugar manufactured In th
"
United States. "
"Why was the stock 'Increased ? "
"To purchase other companies the Frank
Iln , the Knight , the Spreckcls and the Dela
ware Sugar Refining companies of Phlla
delphla. "
"Is It not a fact that the prlco of suga
Increased owing to the acquisition of UICE
four companies ? "
"I think not , the price of sugar Is lowe
now than It was then. "
WHO FIXES THE PRICE.
"Who fixes the price at the board meet
Ing ? "
"My brother , " responded the witness.
Reverting to the recent advent ot the suga
company In the coffee trade , the chairman o
the committee asked : .
"Why did you go Into the coffee business ? '
"I thought It was a pretty good business. '
"Are you willing to swear that the officer
of the coffe.- company are not organized fo
the purpose of shutting out competition
against the American sugar refineries ? "
"They are not , sir , " the witness said
slowly.
"Why do you hesitate to answer ? "
"Your questions ore EO long that I mus
take time to follow the drift of your qucs
lions. "
Witness said that part of the cry abou
competition In the market was newspaper
talk , but admitted dotending a suit In Ohlcj
brought about through ; competition there.
"When did you purchabo the Woolson
stock ? "
"I will have to refer you to my brother. '
Atkcd If his company organized In Now
Jersey so as to evade the payment of taxa
tion under the laws of the state of New
York , he said Mr. Parsons , their lawyer
would have to bo asked about that. Mr
Parsons had advised It.
The preferred stock of the companv was
$37,000,000 and the common stock $37,000-
000. A dividend of 7 per cent was declare <
last year on the preferred and 12 p.er cent
was declared on the common stock. In ad
dition there may have been an accumulate !
surplus. "I would not go Into business , '
Sir. Ilavemoycr said , "unleta I could make
15 to 20 per cent In It. "
Senator Lexow quoted some figures from a
financial paper which showed that In 1894-D-C
the surplus of stock Increased from $9 000 -
000 to $13,000,000. "Aro those figures cor
rect ? " asked Senator Lexow.
"I cannot say. If you got them from Mr
Searles they are correct. "
"Do you know any business , not In the
nature of a monopoly , that pays 15 or 10
per cent ? "
"Plenty of them. " I
"Toll us ono of them. " '
"Coffee , for Instance. "
"And that is the reason you went Into
: offec ? "
"Ono of them. "
"Aro you willing to swear that there Is no
: oitract , verbal or written , between your
jompany and any others regarding tbo fixing
jr maintaining of prices ? "
"I am willing to swear that as far as I
: < now thcro is no such agreement. "
PRESIDENT HAVEMEYER CALLED.
H. O. Havemeyer , president of the Amcrl-
: an Sugar Refinery company ( not refineries ) ,
ivas sworn and described the organization
) f the Sugar trust In 18S8. The assets , real
ind personal , 'of fifteen companies were
lurchased at the tlmo of the amalgamation.
\sked by Senator Lexow If the directors of
ho fifteen refineries were not the directors
if the present sugar company , Mr. Havo-
noyer said that six of the original dlrec-
ors , with the addition of William Par-
ons , wcro still In the directory board ,
isltedvliero the original document of agrco-
iif'iit was , Mr. Havemeyer said ho did not
; now and doubted Its , existence now. The
ymerlcan Sugar Refining company of Now
crsey , ho sAld , took the place In 1891 of
ho former so-called trust. H was done
hrough purchases. The new company ac-
[ Ulrcd all the property before held by tbo
rust and no more , and was capitalized first
t $50,000.000 , afterwards increased to $75-
00,000. The greater part of the $25,000,000
ncrcaso was' used In the purchase of the
'hlladolphla property.
In answer to direct questions Mr. Have-
icyer denied categorically that his com-
any controlled the sugar market In tbo
Fulled States , fixed the price of refined
ugars , controlled the product of sugar or
hat It had an agreement with the Mol-
snauer concern , the National or the St.
.ouls people.
"Do you ship sugar west of the Missouri
1 competition with Mr. Spreckcls ? " asked
enator Lexow ,
"No. "
"Did you entpr Into an agreement with
preckcls not to compete with him west of
lie Missouri ? "
"Certainly not. Competition with him
licro Is not possible. It Is purely a ques-
lon of geography. Where the sugar would
est us H cent there It costs him % cent. "
Lcxow wanted to know about Arbucklc
Iros. ' relations with the Sugar trust and
poke of the firm competing with the Sugar
rust.
"They never competed with us , " Have-
icyer said. "They are wholesale grocers
ml handled our products. We took back
liclr empty barrels at 20 cents and Molten-
auer offered them 22 cents , to they shifted
iielr trade from us. "
"Why did you organize a coffee company
Ithln a day or two ? You think the colteu
uelnccs as alluring as the sugar business ? ' !
"Yc * . I propose to carry on tbo coffee.
business Just as we have the sugar business
and that Is I state It hero In open court
without fear of contradiction to the * ! ? !

consequent economy allows/Jusjl / to put oul
sugar at a less prlco than separate con
cerns could afford to do. _ Orcen coffee dC'
cllned 6 cents In 1S9G , but Arbucklc hat
lowered the price ot the unfinished product
only 3 cents , thus taking 3 cents per pound
as his legitimate profit. I con put It on
the market at only 1 'cent above the price
ot the raw. "
ARDUCKLC dAJLl\KD. \ 1
Senator Lexow then aroused Interest and
surprise by calling John Arbucklo to the
stand. Before he was questioned Senator
Lcxow asked Mr. Havcmnyert whcro Mr.
Scarlcs was. Ho said ho ibqllcvcd ho was
out ot town. , r
"Mr. Stenographer , " said Assemblyman
Dcdcll , "enter It on the minutes that Mr.
Scarlcs did not obey the committee's
subpoena to apncar today and consequently
Is In contempt" i
Mr. Arbucklo testified that after ho had
determined to , build a sugar refinery a ill-
rector of the American Refining company. In
speaking to him about It , said : "How
would you like ua to go Into the coffee
business. ? "
"I felt , " said Mr. Arbucklo , "that It was
an Implied threat. "
James N. Hnrvlowas called. He said :
"Lo cll M. Palmer of Iho American Sugar
Refining company came to me and said :
'If you otart refining sugar we will KO Into
the coffee bualncss and the Havemcycrs
have more millions than the Arbucklcs. "
H. O. Havcmeycr hero arose and call ) :
"Lowell M. Palmer had no authority tc
speak for the Havemeyers ot the American
Sugar company , It he did speak. Mr.
Palmer Is at the head ot our company oporat.
Ing department. He Is not In the dlrcc-
tonjof the company. "
Mr. Harvlo went on to sayi "II. P. Me-
Laughlln ot Chicago , a competing roaster ,
came lo mo and said : 'I nave authority
from one high In the Sugar trust to say ID
you that If you do not go Into the sugar re
fining business , they will stay out of the
coffeebusiness. . ' "
Mr. Havemeyor jumped to his feet and ex
claimed : "I deny most emphatically that
any such proposition ever emanated from
us. It Is monstrous. We are going Into
the coffee business regardless ot the Ar-
buckles. "
Senator Lfexow announced that If Mr.
Searles was not present tomorrow morning
"the full vigor of the law and the legisla
ture would be Invoked against him. " The
committee adjourned until 11 o'clock tomor
row.

In less than two months the assessor and

Interests here are deeply Interested In the
matter , especially as it has been asserted
that Assessor Drlgham Intends assessing up

He did not mean by this that he would go

Is now , to about $12,000,000.
As property in all of the oilier precincts
in the county Is assessed nt one-sixth or
one-seventh of Its true valUe > Jt | will bo seen
that the people of South. Omaha will bo
compelled to pay six times as-much county
and state taxes as the otherpreclncts. Dy
those who have considered the matter , . It la
presumed that If the South Omaha assessor
returns property hero at toll Value , both the
county and city boards of equalization wll |
reduce the , valuation toithefigures of 189C.
That Is the light in wljlchjhe heavy taxpay
ers look at the matter , and they figure that
thn boards ot equalization , would not compel
this city to pay six or seven times moro
county and state taxes than other precincts
In the county.
What the levy next year will ba cannot
be ascertained until the assessor completes
his 'worlj , and the valuation Is shown.
Should the matter be. brought up before the
city and county boards of equalization , which
It undoubtedly will be , 1C Mr. Drlgham acts
as be says he will , a lively tlmo Is lookei
for , and the chances for the whole assess
ment being thrown out appear good. Some
of the city officials have been doing a little
figuring already , and It Is thought that the
city levy will tic lower than it was las !
year. As every ono knows the council las !
year was compelled to make a high levy to
meet pressing obligations In the shape of
Judgments and Interest duo on bonds , etc
This year EO much money -will not bo needei
and the levy may fall as low as 43 mills , bul
more than likely It will be 45 mills , i

CAMPAIGN ! G WITH GRANT
General Porter's Kccoihctiois of tbo Great
Ofntain in the Wilurnesp.
THE SERVANT OF Till GENERAL
Fire , Iu ( , Delude anil .Itml Amoiid the
iN niiilureil In the AVllilei--
ncN4Slory of the Death of
Sloneunll .lack-ion.
General Horace Porter , In his scries of
articles on "Campaigning with Grant , " now
running In the Century , gives many fresh
glimpses of headquarters life. In the Feb
ruary number , after describing an engage
ment on the Frederlcksburg road , General
Porter says : The next morning , May 20 ,
the general was later than usual In making
hi * appearance , > ln consequence ot having
overslept. Finally his voice- was heard callIng -
Ing from his tent to his colored servant :
"Hill ! Ho , Bill ! What tlmo Is It ? " The
servant ran to him , found ho was still lu
bed , and told him the hour. In scarcely
moro than ten minutes the general appeared
at the mess tablo. Wo wcro not surprised
it the rapidity with which ho had dressed
himself , for we had learned by this tlmo
that In putting on his clothes ho was as
quick as a lightning-change actor In a vari
ety theater. When' the officers at headquar
ters were called up particularly early to
start on the march every ono did his utmost
to bo on tlmo and not keep tlia general wait
ing ! but , howovcr vigorous the effort , no one
could match him In getting on bl.s clothes.
There was seldom any occasion for such hur
ried dressing , but with htm It was a liablt
which continued through life.
Dill , the servant who waited on the gen
eral , was a notable cbaractcr. Ho was en
tirely a creature of accident. When the
general was at Cairo In 18G1 Dill suddenly
appeared ono day at bcadquarters with two
other slave boys , who bad just escaped from
their former masters In Missouri. They be
longed to that class ot fugitive blacks who
worn characterized by thoss given to ar
tistic comparisons as "charcoal sketches
from the hands of the old masters. " Dill
was of a genuine burn'-cork hue , and no
White blood contaminated the purity of his
lineage. He at once set himself to work
without orders , taking "Mro ot one of the
aides , and by dint of hli force of character
resisted all efforts of that olllccr to dis
charge him.
When any waller was absent , or even
when all were present , ho would turn up In
the headquarters mess tent and Insist on
helping the general at table. Then ho at
tached himself to Colonel Doomer and forced
tlmt officer lu spite of himself to submit to
his services. After the colonel had been
killed In the assault on Vlcksburg , Bill sud
denly put in an appearance again nt head
quarters , and was found making himself
useful to the general , notwithstanding the
protests of the other servants , and before
long he had himself regularly entered upon
the general's private pay roll. When his
chief came cast. Bill followed , and gradually
took entire charge of the general's personal
comfort as valet , waiter and man of all work.
He was devoted , never known to be beyond
call , had studied the general's habits so
carefully that he could always anticipate his
few wants and became really very useful.
I had a striking Illustration ono morning
In front of Spotsylvanla of how devoted Dill
was to the general's comfort. While we were
camping In the region of woodtlcks , garter-
snakes and beetles , I saw Dill In front of the
general's tent thrusting his band first into
one of the chief's boots and then into the
other. "What arc you doing tliat for. Dill ? "
I asked. "Oh , " he explalmcd , "I alters feels
around In do gln'ral's boots afore J lets him
put dem on , to see dat no Insec's done got
Into dem do prov's night. " Ho followed In
the general's shadow all through his presi
dential terms , then ho Insisted upon attempt
ing business In Washington , and afterward
tried his hand at preaching ; but bo had fed
so long at the public crib that his appetite
Jiad been spoiled for any other means of sus
taining llfo , and bo finally made bis way
Into a government department as messenger
where he still Is and where It Is hoped that
his eventful llfo may be rounded out In the
quiet and comfort to which his public serv
ices entitle him. Hevlllnot _ be as dramatic
an historical character ai Napoleon's Mame
luke , but in his humble way ho was as faith
ful and devoted to his chief as the famous
Roustan.
THROUGH RAIN AND MUD.
General Porter draws the following pic
tures of hardships In the Wilderness cam
paign :
The continual rain was most disheartening.
On May 10. Grant wrote to Halleck : "We
have had five days' almost constant rain ,
without any prospect yet of Its clearing up.
The roads have now become EO Impassable
that ambulances with wounded men can no
longer run between here and Frederlcsburg.
All offensive operations must necessarily
cease until we can have twenty-four hours of
dry weather. The army Is In the best of
spirits , and feels the greatest confidence In
ultimate success. * * The elements
alone have suspended hostilities. "
In the Wilderness the army had to strug
gle against fire and dust ; now It had to eon-
tend with rain and mud. An ordinary rain ,
lasting for a day or two , docs not embarrass
troops ; but when the storm continues for a
week It becomes ono of the most serious
obstacles In a campaign. The men can
secure no proper shelter ana no comfortable
rest ; their clothing has no chance to dry ;
and a tramp of a few miles through tenacious
mud requires as much exertion as an ordi
nary day's march. Tents become saturated
and weighted with water , and draft animals
have Increased loads , and Heavier roads over
which to haul them. Dry wood cannot Lo
found ; cooking becomes difficult ; the men's
Bplrita are affected by the gloom , and even
the most buoyant natures become disheart
ened. It Is much worse for an army acting
on the offensive , for it has more marching to
do , being compelled to move principally on
exterior lines.
Staff officers had to labor day and night
during tlio present campaign in making re
connaissances and In cross-questioning na
tives , deserters , prisoners , and fugitive ne
groes , In an attempt to secure data for the
imrpose of constructing local maps from day
to day. As eoon as these wcro finished they
were distributed to the subordinate com
manders. Great confusion arose from the
lupllcatton of the names of IIOUECH and farms.
Hither family names were particularly Bcar o
In that section ot the state , or else the people
ple wcro united by close ties of relationship ,
ind country cousins abounded to a confus
ing extent. So many farm houses In fame
if the localities were occupied by people of
.ho same name- that , when certain farms
, vcro designated In orders , serious errors
iroso at times from mistaking ono place for
mother ,
GRANT AND THE DYING SOLDIER.
A pathetic Incident occurred during the
ittack on what Is now called "Hell's Halt-
\cro , " near Massaponax church. General
Jrant had ridden over to tno right to watch
ho progress of this attack. While ha was
lasslng a spot near the. roadside where
hero were a number of wounded , ono of
hem , who was lying close to the roadside ,
eeined to attract bis special notice. The
nan's faee was beardless ; be was evidently
oung ; his countenance was strikingly band-
onio , and there was something in his ap-
leallng look which could not fall to engage
ittcntlon , even In the full ttdo of battle ,
"ho blood was flowing from a wound In
ils breast , the froth about his mouth was
Inged with red , and his wandering , star-
ng eyes gave unmistakable evidence of
lfl fiUAUT/ MODERATION IH PaiCfc- '
BAKING

Approaching death. Just then n young st f
officer dashed by at a full gallop , nud A
the horse's hoots struck a puddle lu tin
road a mass of black mud was sptashei
In thn wounded man's face. He gave a pile
nus look , AS much as to tay : "Conldn1
you 1st ins die In peace and not add to ni ;
sufferings " Tlic general , whofo eye * wen
at that moment turned upon the youth
was visibly affected. He reined lu his horse
and seeing from a motion he made tha
ho was Intending to dismount to bestow
some care upon the young man. I sprnnf
from my horse , ran to the sldo of tin
soldier , wiped his face with my hnndkpi-
chief , spoke to him and examined hli
wound ; but In a few minuter Die unmU'
takablo death rattle was heard , and 1 fount'
that ho had breathed his last. I said U
the general , who was watching the scent
Intently : "Tho poor fellow Is dcml , " re >
mounted my horse , and the party rode oti
The chief had turned lonnd twice to look
after the officer who had splashed the mutl
and who had passed rapidly on , as If he
wished to take him to task for his careless
ness. There was a painfully sad look upon
thp general * ! , fare , and ho did not speal <
for some time. While alwajn keenly sciitd-
tlvo to the sufferings of the woumlcd , this
pitiful sight seemed. to affeet him more
than usual.
STONEWAMj JACKSON'S DRATH.
While our people wcro putting up the tents
and making preparations for supper , den *
ural Grant strolled over to a house near b >
owned by a Mr. OhamlKr and sat down 01
thn porch , I accompanied him and took r
scat hesldo him. In n ftw minutes a lady
came to the door and was surprised to flm !
that the visitor was tap gcncrnMn-chlcf
Ho was always particularly civil to ladles
and ho rose to his feet i\t once , took off hit
hat and made a courteous bow. Shi wai
ladylike and polite In her behavior olid she
and the general soon bpcame engaged 'In s
pleasant talk. Her conversation was exceed
ingly entertaining. She raid , among othet
things ! "This house has witnessed some sat !
scenes , Olio of ottr greatest generals died
hero Just a year ago General Jackson-
Stonewall Jackson of blessed memory. " "In
deed ! " remarked General Grant. "He and 1
wcro at West 1'olnttogether for a year ami
wo served In the sains army In Mexico. "
"Then you must liavo known how good ami
great he was , " said the lady , "Oh , yes , "
replied the general ; "ho was a sterling ,
manly cadet and enjoyed ths respect ol
every one who knew hltn. He was alwajs
of a religious turn of ir.'liid and a plodding ,
hard-working student. His standing was at
first very low In his class , but by his In
domitable energy ho managed to graduate
qulto high. Ho was a gallanl soldlcc mid a
Christian gentleman , ana I can understand
fully the admiration your people have for
him. "
"They brought him hero the Monday after
the batllo of Chnncelloriivllle , " she contin
ued. "You probably know , sir , that he had
been wounded In the IcXt arm and right hand
by his own men , who llrcd upon him acci
dentally in the night , and his arm had been
amputated nn the field. The operation was
very successful and ho was getting along
nicely , but the wet applications made to Ihc
wound bron Rht on pneumonia and 11 was
that which caused his death. Ho lingered
till tns next Sunday afternoon. May 10 , nnd
ho was then taken from us. " Hero the
lady of the house became very much affected
mil almost broke down In recalling thu
sad event.
Our tents had by this tlmo been pitched ,
and thn general , after taking a pollto leave
at his hastens , and saying ho would place
i guard over her house to see that no dam
age was done to her property , walked over
to camp , and soon after sat down with the
mess to a light supper.
A JOKE ON DUUNSIDH.
General Porter relates an Incident of the
visit of his chief to the homo of a Mrs.
Tyler , whose husband was a colonel In the
confederate army. Wo could see , he sajs ,
that she was entertaining views which every
where prevailed in the south. The author
ities naturally put the best face upon mat
ters , and the newspapers tried to buoy up
the people with false hopes. It was not sur
prising that the Inhabitants of the remote
parts of the country were in Ignorance of the
true progress of the war. General Grant re
plied in a quiet way , "General Sherman Is
certainly advancing rapidly In that direc
tion ; and while I do not wish to be the com
municator of news which may be unpleasant
to you , I have every reason to bsllevo that
Rome Is by this time In his possession. " The
alder lady then assumed a foanterlng tone ,
ind became somewhat excited and defiant
In her manner ; and the younger one joined
with her In scouting the Idea that Rome
: ould over be taken. Just then a courier
rode up with dispatches from Washington ,
: ontalnlng a telegram from Sherman. Gen-
; ral Grant glanced over It , and then read
t to the staff. It announced that Sherman
lad just "captured " Homo. The ladles had
: aught the purport of the communication
ilthough It was not Intended that they
should hear It. The wife burst Into tears
uid the mother-in-law was much affected by
ihe news , which was of course sad tidings
to both of them.
The _ mother then began to talk with greav
rapidity , and with no little asperity , say-
ng : "I came from Richmond not long ngo ,
where I lived in a house on the James river ,
nil eh overlooks Belle Isle ; and I had the
satisfaction of looking down every day on
: he Yankee prisoners. I saw thousands and
thousands of them , and before this cam-
lalgn Is over I want to oeo the whole of
: no lankee army In southern prisons. "
Just then Burnsldo rode Into the yard
llsmounted and joined our party on the
lorch. Ho was a man of great gallantry
ind elegance of manner , and was always
! xcosslyely pollto to the gentler sex. Ho
alsed his hat , made a profound bow to the
adlej , and , as he looked at his corps filing
> y on the road , Bald to the older one , who
, vas standing near him : "I don't suppose ,
iiadam , that you over saw so many Yankee
' v"fer'i ! > CfrC < " She rcplle(1 ( instantly :
. , ,
Not "
at
liberty sir.
, . This was such n good
hot that every ono was greatly amused ,
111 I10ra,1 Grant jollle < 1 ' 'eartily In the
augn that , , , , '
followed at Durnsldo's expense.

Kcnna of .tho United States circuit court
last night authorized the statement that hi
Las been Invited to actcpt n position In Uiq
cabinet of I'resldent-elect McKlnlcy and also
that ho has signified his acceptance. Ha
illd not care to Rl\c , tor publication , tha
dispatch In vtlilch the tenilor of n position
was maile , nor did ho wish to make hla re
sponse known. He considered the com
munications confidential niul personal. Ho
had expected the communication from Can
ton. Ho will lenvo the latter part of the
month for AVashlnijton , ready to enter upon
his now duties Immediately after the
Inauguration. Whether Judge McKcnna Is to
bo attorney general or secretary of the
Interior In the now administration la now ,

"Yes , " he said last night , "I have received
a telegram fiom I'rcsldent-elect McKinley
proffering mo a place In the cablncti I
liavo wired an acceptance. "
"As secretary of the interior ? "
"I do not know that. The telegram did
not flute. It will bo cither that or attorney
general. I am Inclined to thlnlc , however ,
that It will bo the Interior , as that place
generally goes to a western man , and
further , as that sccictnrythlp wan tha
principal tnplc In the dlscusalon In my
interview wHh the president-elect. "
This telegram and this statement puts at
rest all dotil ts as to California's representa
tion in "tho cabinet. It was pretty well
lcno\\n that hoould bo given a place.
Those who read between the lines of the
dispatches from Canton wcro convinced that
the question was not whether McKcnna waste
to represent the west hi the cabinet , but
what position ho would bo given. The latter
part Is not yet settled by olllclal declaration ,
though Judge McKcnna believes that tha
Interior \ \ II ! be his portfolio.
