lincoln on Eitz John Porter.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune pub
fishes the following to-day from prominent
lawyer Of this city, an intimate and personal
friend of President Lincoln:
Editor of the Tribune: As the question of
Fitz John Porter is now occupying public
attention, . conversation once had with Mr.
Lincoln upon the question seems pertinent.
/ was standing in his room In the White
House, near the foot Of the long table be.
hind which he sat, he standing with me, and
were talking upon some subject, when he
called my attention to . large pile of manu-
script lying near us on the table. "That,n
said he, sis the record In the Fitz John Por-
ter case" The trial had then just closed,
and the record of the evidence taken In is
was before him for action. "You know
said he, "if know anything, it is what evil
dence tends to prove, aud when a thing Is
proved. / have read every word In that rec
ord, and tell you Fitz John Porter is guilty
and ought to be shot" He then added
something, the words of which l cannot re-
member, but the substance was that Porter
was willing the poor soldiers should die,
while he, from sheer jealousy, stood within
hearing Of their guns, waiting for Pope to be
whipped. know nothing of Filz John
Porter's case, but have deemed 1t my duty,
as happened to be in this conversation, to
make It public.
Yours truly, LEONARD SWEET.

BURIED ALIVE,
The Fearful Fate of Young Woman in
Ohio.


CHICAGO, Feb. S.-The Tribune'S Dayton
CO., special OF February 7th says: A sensa-
ton has been created here by the discover y
of the fact that Miss Anna Hockwalt, a
young woman of high social standing, who
was supposed to have died suddenly on Jan.
10Th, was buried alive. The horrible truth
was discovered few days ago, and since
then it has been the talk of the city. The
circumstances of Mss Hockwalt's death were
peculiar. 1t occurred on the morning of the
marriage Of her brother to Miss Emma
Schmind, at the Emanuel church. Shortly
before 9 o'clock the young lady was dressing
for the nuptials aud had gone into the
kitchen. A few moments afterwards she
was found sitting in chair, with her head
reclining against the wall, and apparently
lifeless. Medical aid was summoned, and
DIR. levitt, after an examination, pro-
nounced her dead. Mass was being read at
the time in the church, and 1t was proposed
to postpone the wedding, but Father Hahne
was consummated in gloom and by low
mass. An examination showed that Anna
was of an exeitable temperament. nervous
and afflicted with sympathetic palpitation of
the heart, and DR.. levitt thought this
caused her death. On the following day the
girl was inferred in Woodland cemetery.
The friends of Miss Hockwalt could not for
get the terrible impression made by her
death, and several ladies observed that her
ear, bore remarkably natural color, and
could not dispel the idea that she was not
dead. They conveyed their opinion to An.
mas parents and the thought preyed on them
so that the body was taken from the grave.
When the coffin was opened 1t was discov.
cred that the supposed inanimste body had
turned upon Its right side, the hair OF the
head had been torn out in handfuls and the
flesh of the fingers had been bitten from the
bones. The body was reintered and efforts
made to conceal the case.

ENGLAND,S EMBARRASSMENT.
The Perilous Condition of Affairs In Egypt.

New YORK, Feb. 7.--Stone Pasha, proba-
bly, the best informed man on Egyptian
affairs In this country, said yesterday "The
moral effect Of the two recent disasters will
be very great, not only In Soudan, but Egypt
proper, and all the Moslem countries. 1t
will make tens of thousands of Nh sselmens
believe Mohammed is really the Mahdi, and
II will be more difficult than ever to make
Mussclmens fight against him. 1t would be
surprising If the news Of these late victories
does not cause serious agitation In Arabia as
we'll as on the frontier of Egypt. Gen. Cor
don's position is rendered vastly more pre-
carious. The logical result will almost GER
tainly be an uprising of more Bedouin tribes
In the Egyptian dependencies, and possibly
an uprising Of the Bedouins in Arabia, Syria,
and Palestine. 1t would not be surprising
at all should 1t also create serious trouble in
Tripoli, Tunis and Algiers. El Mahdi will
not stop short Of the conquest of Egypt. II
this happens, the only remedy for the pres
emit state of affairs will be for England to
send $4,000 British troops and 81, 600 heather
Indians into the country. The rebellion
cannot be conquered with four times the
force new in Egypt. The season Is now ad.
vancing, ard In one month It will be 80
warm In Soudan as to make 1t difficult for
British troops to act there. In one month
there will be no water for the troops march
Ing to kordofan. In June the rainy Sc
on Kordofan commences, and from that time
until October the climate is fatal to Euro
pean troops. Gen. Gordon is helpless unless
be gets proper achievements. The British |
government Is clearly guilty Of two crimes. |
First, II has failed TO protect the Khedive,
and not only so, but 1t has prevented him
from using the resources of his country TO !
protect bis government, aud has prevented |
any friend Of the Kbedive from assisting
him or bis people. The second crime is to
send Gordon alone to effect what the gov
eminent could and ought to have given him
= powerful force to do. The British govern
nent knew very we'll that the Sultan had not
he money to pay for an expedition iEto Sou
Ian and prevented the Khedive from using
he money raised by heavy taxation of Fella-
hons forthe purpose of paying Turkish troops
o defend his country, requiring the money
o go 10 the bondholders and 20 the support
II the British corps of occupation. This, If
understood rightly, caused the resignation of
he late Egyptian ministry. They desired
o use the resources of the country for sup.
'orting Turkish troops to e-conquer Soudan,
'ut the British authorities would not psr-
nit it.

'.Gen. VIM 7. Sherman, General of the
Army, having this day reached the age or 81
years, Is, in accordance with law, placed on
the retired list Of the army, without restric-
tion Of pay and allowances. The announce.
ment of his severance from the command of
the army of one who has been for so many
years its distinguished chief, can but awaken
In the minds, not only Of the army, but of
the people Of the United States, mingled
emotions Of regret and gratitude regret that
the withdrawal from active military service
Of the officer whose lofty sense of duty has
been model for all soldiers since be first
entered the army In July, 1910, and gratitude
freshly awakened for the services Of incaleu
liable value rendered by him in the war for
the Union, which bis great military genius
and daring did so much TO end. The Prcsi-
dent deems this fitting occasion to give
expression in this Kramer to the gratitude
felt toward General Sherman by his fellow.
an' to hope thar Providence will
grant him many years Of health and happi-
ness in bis relief from the active duties of
