Ill Feeling Against Gen. Sherman.
Washington, Jan. g. Considerable
i'll feeling between Gen. Sherman and
prominent war department officials has
been engendered in consequence of the
activity shown by the former to induce
congress to pass the new army bill.
War department officials believe that
Gen. Sherman exceeds the bounds Of
propriety, and shows want Of proper
respect to those officials, whose connec-
tion with the army is purely civil, by
resorting to extraordinary methods to
influence congress. 1t is freely charged
that ten. Sherman has given out q
false impression that army officers are
nearly unit on the question Of passing
the new bill. The recent revocation Of
an old order, which forbids any officers
from seeking to influence legislation
was done at the instance Of Secretary
McCrary, who was led to believe that If
this order was anuuiled army officers
stationed away from Washington would
feel free to write their objections to the
pending bill. Some persons believe the
present bill will result In an open rup-
ture between Gen. Sherman and Secre-
tary McCrary. who is at the head of the
civil branch Of the service; the superior
in authority to Gen. Sherman.
