morrow. The trouble arises out OF tue ~
tempt to put General Sherman, in common
with other army officers who have reached
the age of 62, on the retired lat.
Logan insists that this shall be done,
and Don Cameron says 1t snail not.
TIE House has already passed the
army appropriation bill with this compulsory
retirement clause in it. The Senate Appro.
priations Committee has reported in favor OF
the bill with the clause, but providing that
Sherman shall be retired on full pay. 1t was
said by Senator that Sherman did not care
whether he was retired or not. But ii Sher-
man did not care there were certain temlnioe
friends and relatives of his who besought Dou
Cameron to see to it that he was not
shelyed, Cameron gave his promise. Then
followed meeting of the Military Commit
tee at Don Csmeron's house on the memora-
Bile night when the ticket that the Independ-
ents nominated in Philadelphia was tele-
graphed to the Senator. He received the
dispatch when the committee was there.
Logan insisted in committee that Sherman
ought to be retired as well as anybody else,
a ID he gave what he thought were good rea-
SOM. Cameron paced back and forth over
his velvet carpets, and at last broke out ex-
citedly, in effect: 81 tell you [ won't have
Sherman retired. He's as good man IS
there is in the army" He went on to assert
General, and used very emphatic language.
Q Logan locked black ana grim, and when
Cameron finished he ssid See here, Sem
ator. want you to understand that you can't
bulldoze and boss me and this committee.
We won't be bulldoz-d You've got right
to your opinion, and we have to ours (; but
you can't build z US into your view. If you
want to fight this thing on the floor Of the
Senate go ahead; but no debating to the
committee"
At length Cameron was persuaded into
agreeing TO the retirement of Sherman, pro-
viding the General was allowed full pay.
When the matter came up in the Senate
Cameron took a seat right within reach OF
Logan's ponderous fst-a fist which he
swings vigorously during an argument such
as he was then making in favor of the retire
msnt clause.
Cameron, without fear, rose and putting
his face SO near that OF Logan as to excite
comment, asked the swarthy Senator if Sher-
man wasn't as good roaa as there was in the
army, and added thst he had an amendment
ready to offer exemptiug Sherman from the
provisions of the bill. He then snapped his
fingers contemptuously under Lo3an's nose,
and walked away.
After the Senate had adj 1urned, Logan
went to certain prominent person and said
"What kind of man il that Cameron, any
way? Here he approves a measure in CON-
mittee, and then comes in the Senate and
fights it aud me, and he's going to try and
beat me. All right. Ii he carries on the
dulldozing business with too high hand l
will have Sherman retired any way. Let
him understand that Sherman can be retired
under the present law"
This message has been carried to Cameron,
and when the bill comes up tomorrow col

follow.
Logan's dislike of Sherman is well known,
and he is himself not over popular with his
Democratic associates Ga the other hand,
Cameron's warmest personal friends are on
the Democratic side, and he relies upon this
friendship, and the fact that the Democrats
greatly prefer Sherman to Sheridan at the
head of the srny, to beat Logan.
Logan IS reported as saying now. that he
expects to be beaten ia the Senate, but thinks
Don Cameron will find it very costly victory

The Election In Oregon and the Chinese
Question.
NEW YORK, June 5th-A. NJ The Times
in an editorial says: At the election in o. e.
gon to-day the first member of the next Con-
gress will be chosen. The peculiar feature of
contest, however, is the prominence given to
the Chinese question. It is claimed by the
Democrats that this is the first oppor unity
that Pacific coast State has had # m arkine
its sense Of the gross regeneration of the
Republican party in betraying the pledges of
the Chicago platform in regard to the
Chinese question" Exactly how the marking
is to be, except increased Democratic ma
jorities, does not appear. Latterly Oregon
has been conceded to be Democratic State,
and the only logical result of the so-called
Republican betrayal" in the matter of the
Chinese question, must be to give the Demo.
Gratis a largely increased majority. Our
Democratic friends will of course, in case
their majority is diminished, concede that the
treatment of the Chinese immigration bill by
Congress and the President has met with
popular approval.

disturbed.
