Gen. Rucker is responsible for estab-

taken his daughter, in q surreptitious
blow which removes him from his best

among strangers. When the order for
his removal came, Gen. Sheridan was
craftily away OH the Pacific side of the
continent, SO that it might seem as
though he had no handiwork in the
business. The respectful sympathy Of
