man, Anderson replied that he did not
come to Washington to see Sherman ana
after the way ho had been treated didn't
waut ANYTHING to do with him. Marks
nroed him, however, and the result was
that he obtained his consent to meet him
(Marks) at Willard's at o'clock. AIder-
son was onhand promptly, and so was
Marks. accompanied by Ex-Governor
Hahn, also an old acquaintance of Ander-

said you had better. go to see the Sec-
retsry and talk the whole thing over. |
Tbere is no use having any trouble about !
tAis matter. It's only Il little misunder- |
standing, and you can do much better ny
going to see Sherman than you can by
going before that ID investigation COM
mittee. They only want to make use OF
YOU, and by taking our advice you can
make something Anderson replied that
he didn't want to mako anything out OF
+his Administration. That under the Cir
cumstances an interview with Sherman
would compromise him, aad he didn't be-
lieye he ought to go. Tho two men, how
over, finally overcame his objections, ana
the trio went together to the treasury
