How Fisk Swamped John Bull Oh C0nfcder.
ate Bonds

| The murder of Jim Fisk, the "Prince of
Erie has brought to light some features
of his remarkable career never before pub
lished. One of the most interesting of these
is the following:
| James Fisk, Jr., cOnceiv ed and eXecut-
ed a brilliant stroke at the close of the war
between the States. the particulars of
which have never yet been published.
With that sagacity which distinguished
him in all his career Fisk saw that when,
on the I'd of April, 1865, General Lee was
driven from Petersburg, his surrender
could not be far distant He Immediately
went to Boston, consulted some of his fin
ancial friends and made them partners in
his scheme. This was to get the news of
the surrender of Lee and collapse of the
Confederacy for use i'll Change in Lon
don in advance of the mail. 1t will be re-
membered that the Atlantic cable was not
then laid. A small, swift steamer, former
lY a blOckade-runner, was purchased, fitted
out and sent to Halifax in ballast. Neith-
er the captain nor officers of the steamer
knew her destination. The secret of her
mission was solely cOnfided to an agent of
Fisk, who was the only passenger OH
board. a
Steam was kept up day and night, and
every thing was i'll readiness for start
across the Atlantic, Days went buy and
still the steamer lay quietly in the harbOr
of Halifax awaiting the expected message
from Fisk. AT length it came. If James
Fisk, Jr., had tried his best he could not
have indited shorter dispatch, 1t was
dated at Boston, signed Fisk, and contain
ed but one word-"Go." The blockade
runner started for Queenstown immedi-
atcly, and got there two days ahead of the
mail steamer. The agent speeded across
Ireland to London and commenced his
operations. Before twenty-four hours
elapsed he sold 'short," Uhat is, sold what
he had not got,) S5,OOO,OOO in Confederate
bonds. He had orders from Fisk to sell as
long as he could get buyers, but was re-
strained by partner of one of the Boston
men, who was cursed with prudence But
the operation was pretty successful; the
''syndicate," the story goes, divided be-
tween $4,000, coo and $4,000,0O0, the pro-
ceeds of the speculation" This was
lift for James Fisk, Jr., which was very
welcome.

Eisk,s Funeral Prnression.

If Fisk had died a natural death his fu-
neral would have attracted little notice.
but the sympathy created by the cowardly
manner of his taking off secured him a
popular demonstration that nothing in his
history merited. 1t is estimated that
10000 people viewed his remains. His
funeral procession is described as follows
The funeral procession marched in the
following order from the Grand Opera
House: Double platoon of police, full
band of the Ninth Regiment, playing the
Dead March from Saul; about 1000 Erie
officers and employees; then the Ninth
Regiment, with full ranks and arms re-
versed; next came the hear.Je. followed
by Col. Fisk's fav9rite charger, fully ca
parisoned, led by a colored groom; follow
ing were officers Of each regiment of the ma
tionaI guard; then long line of carriages,
extending half mile, i'll the foremost
of which were Jay Gould, President, and
other officers of the Erie railroad, officers
of the Narragansett Steamship Company,
etc. All the windows, balconies, steps of
houses, and all the sidewalks of the streets
and avenues, were crowdedwit spectators
Scores of carriages fell into line on the
route.
The procession proceeded to the New
Haven depot, and accompanied by the Of
ficers of the ninth regiment and various
committees left for Brattleboro', VT, where
the funeral services will be held, none
having taken place here.

DEATH OF GENERAL HALLECK.

Our dispatches this morning announce
the death of Major General Henry w.
Halleck. General Halleck was born near
Utica, New York, in the year 1916. In
1889, he graduated at West Point Acade-
my third in his class of thirty-one. He
afterwards held, for time, the position of
Assistant Professor of Engineering in that
institution. He distinguished himself on
several occasions during the Mexican war,
for which he was promoted to n captaincy.
He held the position of Secretary of State
in California from 1877 to 1919. He held
other important positions on the Pacific
coast. He practiced law, for some
time, in San Francisco, being the
senior partner of the leading law
firm in the State. After the commence
ment of the late civil war, he was
commissioned a Major General of vol
unteers. In July, 1862, he was appoint
ed Commander-in-Ch Chief of the land forces
of the United States, which position he
held until he was succeeded by General
Grant. From that time till the close of
the war he was Chief of Staff of the Unit
ed States Army, and has since that time

our readers are familiar.

What Fisk's Murderer Says and How lie
Looks.

nat tlSh'S Mufuefer Says ana How lie
Looks.
Stokes, the murderer OF Fisk, after
breakfast yesterday, said in a conversation
with reporter: "YOu need have no fears
for me. | am no murderer. [ have read
the papers, and | assure you there is a tale
yet untold" When informed of Fisk's
death he said, d" Well, it is a sad loss to the
business community, but the papers should
not PREJUDICE by calling me a murderer.
Some of the narratives read like romance.
| never wished Fisk any personal harm,
and never dreamed of offering him any. 1
could say aore,but my counsel have closed
my lips" Stokes stated that he knew of
no warrant of Indictment against him on
Saturday, and said the statement that he
followed Fisk's carriage down Broadway
was untrue. and he had no idea but that
Fisk was at home sick. On being asked if
he had no fears as to the. result, he produc-
ed his wallet, saying, "As sure Us you see
that wallet, just as sure will be acquitted
by any jury that can be impanneledn A
number of Stokes relatives called on him
last evening.
His appearance at the trial on the day
of the murder is thus given:
He was such q person as any woman,
and most men, would turn again to look
at in a crowd-nearly six feet high, with a
figure moulded like Apollo, handsome
head, carried almost haughtily in the air,
and singularly. soft, bright eye, which
seemed to exercise as if turned upon one
an imperious yet charming influence. He
was stylishly, almost loudly, dressed in a
full suit of striped gray tweed, with CLOS
sy silk hat, and carried on his arm a new,
lght-colored overcoat, with lavender veil
vet collar.

he thought that, although some of the rights
which they had claim to in the recent amend
ments to the Constitution were withheld, still
the courts of law would accord all legal privi-
lcges. He considered that the appending of the
supplementary civil rights bill to the amnesty
measure would jeopardize the passage of the
passage of the latter, and in that respect it
would be unfortunate. The former he thought,
from his knowledge of it, would pass on its own
merits as a separate and distinct measure.
