ws.. Would bankrupt Army ot.e.r..

Washington Letter: Gen. Sheridan has
shown signs since he took hold of the army of
an intention to pursue a vigorous policy. For
one thing, he has been astonishing the army by
ordering a series of exchanges of stations be-
tween regiments in the west. He believes that
for their mutual good and for the good of the
service exchanges of stations should be more
frequent An exchange means a great deal to
the regiments concerned. One has been per-
haps ten years at eastern post-Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, for example. 1t has taken root
Suddenly, often with very little warning, it
must 20 ont in the Indian country to resume
outline life under totally different conditions.
At the same time a regiment
which has been a fixture for a de-
cade in New Mexico or Montana comes into
civilization again. 1t is often quite as disagree
able for the Western regiment to come East as
for the Eastern regiment to go West "Why
sir" said All old army officer, 'if the
regiment Mt Fort Blank, Oak, were ordered
East to-day it would bankrupt every officer in
its roster. Every one OF them had some local
scheme for making money! farm, or a mne
or a herd of cattle, or something That they could
not give up without greatloss. From time i'm
memorial army officers have always done a
little money making as they went along out on
the plains. Take Dodge City, Kan. That is
built on a town cite purchased by an army
surgeon from a squatter fora few hundred dol
| lars, and afterward sold by the army surgeon
for more than $4,000, That's one of numer-
ous cases. Most of those officers who have
been long in the West, where they have any
shrewdness at all, have some money laid up
| against retirement day"

Important suprsm. Court Decision.


The supreme court Of Minnesota rendered a
decision in the case Of the Red River & lake Of
the Woods railroad company vs. Andrew sture,
from Polk county. The railroad company
built its line through the farm of Sture-l6O
acres-and damages were asked for the right
OF way. sture appealed to the Polk county
court, and a decision was renderedin his favor
awarding him the damages claimed. The rail-
road company appealed to the supreme court.
and set up the plea that Sure had no right to
object to a railroad through his land, as he had
become possessed of it through the United
States homestead law. The company claimed
that under the United States laws of 1896.
highways could be constructed or opened
through such lands; it was also asserted that
the Polk county jury had rendered a verdict in
favor OF Adam Sture, instead of Andrew Sture.
and that papers in the case, lost from the files''
were replaced by the court with copies. All
these objections were oyerruled, and the de-
clsion of the Polk county court was affirmed.
This decision is i'll direct opposition to de-
customs of other supreme courts. It has been
held. that, until the possessor of the land re-
ceived g patent, lie has no right to prevent the
construction of railroads through his land:
that the mere entering of the land under the
homestead act did not complete his title to
ownership. Judge Mitchell holds that q home
steader has rights, and that railroads cannot
trespass upon his property without paving
fuu damages and being amenable to the courts.

How Ward Caught Fish.

President Fish of the exploded Marine bank
of New York says of Ward:
Within the past several months MI. Ward
has represented to me that he had q confiden-
tial understanding by which he furnished to the
government the supplies. I supposed that
through the Grant family, or the friends of the
Grants, he might have some such contracts,
He said it would be = good thing to get con-
tracts for government supplies, and mentioned
Elkins and Chsnee, and thought they were :
portion Of the schame, and that their friend
ship and knowledge had been Of advantage to
Ward as the partner Of Mr.. Chafee's son-in.law
and Of Gen. Grants son. am now eatisfed
the whole thing was an invention and . myth.
do not believe he had any kind Of contract /
don't suppose now Gen. Grant knew anything
about it But before these disclosures / did
think that Grant or Grants friends might have
given Mr.. Ward the opportunity. Nj. Ward
said to me on a least one occasion thatT l now
saw the advisability Of his having brought the
Grants into business relations with us. He re-
ferred to the matter Of these confidential con-
tracts.

ruin ana Death From a hank Failure.


Widespread destitution and nearly q score
Of suicides have followed the failure of the
Oriental bank, which was compelled to close
it's doors ON tho Sd inst No single failure
which has occurred in Great Britain sine e the
suspension of the City Bank at Glasgow has
caused such wholesale ruin, and so many
cases OF absolute restitution. The organ
ization of the Oriental Bank corporation
was peculiar, it having over 100000 share
holders, although its entire capital
was only 81, 500, 900, 20 that tho individual
holding Of the shareholders averaged less than

glish colonies at that point. Not being organ
lied on the limits liability principle, each one
Of the shareholders is liable to the extent of his
entire worldly possessions for the debt Of the
bank, no matter how small his vidu hold
ings Of shares may be. Thousands Of writs Of
attachment have been issued against the un-
fortunate shareholders, both in England and in
the East It'll this fact, coupled with thcloss, in
many cases., of their entire means of subsis-

What Senator sabin Says.

Senator Sabin on returning to Saltwater on
Friday, was besieged by business associ-
ates and journalistic interviewers. He had little
to say regarding the financial troubles of the
several enterprises with which he is connected,
preferring to wait until he has an opportunity
to get at the facts in the case. He is confident,
however, that Seymour, Sabin & Co, have
enough assets to take care of everything, and
denies that there Inns been any improper APP
plication of the proceeds of the sales of stock.
As to matters political, the senator is posi-
tive in saying that he has never expected or in
tended to retain the Craftsmanship Of the
national committee longer than until the meet
ing of the Chicago convention. And even if he
might desire to dc so, he intimates that he has
no overweening desire 10 run his chances Of
the penitentiary under the newly. discovered
civil service law. He also denies explicitly that
he has stated that New York's financial trou-
bles would hurt the Republican party, and also
the rumors that he is financially interested in
Loren Fletcler's candidacy.

Death Of . Notorious Lobbyist

Mr.. Sam Ward died at Pegli, Italy, 0 n Mon
day. He passed away peacefully, surrounded
by friends. Washington Special, Sam Ward,
who died in Italy recently, was for years the
best known and most successful lobbyist in
Washington. He was q brother OF Julia Ward
Howe, the poet and Woman suffrage advocate,
and Was a man of unusual ability. His chief
notoriety was in connection with the Hobbies
that surround the Forty-second and Forty
third congresses, and he was called ''yestibuli
Rex, " o title Of which he
was very. proud. lis influence
over men was never surpassed. The quiet,
gentlemanly way in which he would approach
q senator and the persuasive manner in which
he would advocate the interest he represented,
has been initiated by many of his successors
in the vestibule, but never equaled. He used
to give dinners that were a marvel to epicures,
and did most of the cooking himself. AS a story
teller he never had an equal in Washington,
and his ancestors are still current here. But
for all these things, he was a notorious corrup-
ZIONIST He believed that tsevery man has his
price," and lived up to this maxim in his in
t%ercourse with them.

Cattle Plague in Dakota.

Woonsocket. Oak, special-Drs. Nevills and
Hull, Judge Reed, Mr. Rugg and others, have
visited John Browns herd of cattle, which is
saidt e be afflicted with the fatal foot and mouth
disease. No new cases have occurred within u
week, and the cattle are undoubtedly improve
ing. Out of q herd of 900 since November
ninety-three have died. Mr.. Clarkson, just
from England, says it is undoubtedly the
foot and mouth disease. Several cases
are reported in other herds Ninety
seven of the cattle affected, Mr..
Brown bought last fall near Mount Vernon,
Oak. Some were lame at the time. Seventy
eight of the ninety-seyen have died. Mr..
Brown and his family have suffered With sores
on their hands and bodies from handling the
stocks The whole herd of 260 were more or
less afflicted. Many Of the cattle lost their
hair. A number are still lame with swelled
ankles, but all are recovering, and the herd is
in average flesh. tits the general opinion that
. committee Of veterinary surgeons should
make an investigation. TIL disease is likely to
appear in the fall on dry feed, and will spread
if not stamped out at once.
