"I think that something ought to be
done about this man De Ahna,' said Treasury
watchman yesterday. ~ see that he is hanging
around the White House."
"Who is Dc AhnaY asked the reporter.
HE is u man that used TO be consul to Alaska
and was recalled by President Hayes. He tried to
get rcappointed and then bothered around good
deal about being paid some back salary which he
claimed was due him from the Government. He
thought that his recall was due to Secretary Sher-
man, and took hearty dislike to him. He
threatened openly to shoot and was very
violent and abusive in his language. This
was just before the Chicago Convention
For three weeks acted as Sherman's body-guard
Whenever he went out attended him. went
with him to Cabinet meetings and to and from his
home at night. Chief Brooks had three detectives
constantly on duty to guard his house. This mans
threats were so open and constant, and his condi-
tion was so desperate that there was no doubt that
he would attempt to carry out his threats. was
armed. and Mr.. Sherman, for the first time In his
experience, began to carry pistol. All
this is now in the past. But this man
is still at large, and, as far as
can see, there has been no change in his mental
condition. He has been recently about the White
House, and consider that he is perpetual men
ace to the lives OF our prominent men. He is un-
doubtedly crazy and dangerous man to be at
large. 1 think that all such men should be ar
rested as soon as they arrive in tho city, and

man liie.i ihwhile at Ems on on his vacation, and
walking with his daughter across bridge over the

the water without diyesting himself of any part OF
his clothing, and finally reached tho shore in
safety with his unconscious burden, after severe

ON THE CONSPIRACY.
General sherman Calls such Talk ths
widest Bosh.

ain your opinion, General, is there
any foundation for the belief that the shooting
was the outcome Of a conspiracy however small or
Insignificant, political OF otherwise7' inquired,
with care and slowness.
Not at all not at ALL" said the General, with
evident impatence. ITO talk Of a conspiracy of
any kind in any way IS to talk the widest bosh,
The dreadful act was committed by q fool. He
don't even rise to tho dignity of crazy man; and
II he is what may strictly be termed insane, he Is
so because of his wonderful self conceit and con-
suming love for notorlety. Conspiracy Not at all
1t was simply the act of an individual more or
less out OF his mental gear and therefore partially
Irresponsible for his act. From what have heard
and read this is my opinion Of the miserable
wretch and his motives"
Gle has been around Washington many months
hanging about all the public offices 1t seems. Did
he ever call upon you, Generalg'
"Not to my knowledge"
Can you account for his mentioning you In the
letters and papers found upon him."
"Only in one way. I suppose tho wretch re-
membcred the pursuit and capture Of Booth and
his miserable end, and feared that the people
would deal with him in the most summary man
ncr If nc was caught, and he wanted military pro.
lection. He seemed to have n full appreciation,
however, of tho fact that there was the widest
difference between shooting and being shot. lie
would do the one but avoid his chances. Hence
his mention my name. That's all there's of It, y
