rotary, which was observed by the President
AS we parted that night and bid General Sher-
man success on his mission here, he turned TO
me and said:
"'Well, | don't know what / shall do when
so TO Washingtons but intend to do whatever
General Grant does. You may be sure Of that,
even if it is to follow him into battle again
president Johnson had an idea" continued
the st. Louis man, that if he could get General
Sherman into the War Department as its Secre-
tary. and consequently commanderin-general of
the army, he could deprive General Grant of his
Influence over the soldiers and he could drive the
Congress from the Capitol if it did not accede to
his demands about a representation from the
South in Congress. President johnson always
referred to Congress as the trump Congress-
and seemed determined upon carrying out his
idea about securing full representation OF
Southerners in the national legislature. 1t was
his full intention, General Sherman told me be-
fore coming here and after his visit here, to force
General Grant into cooperation VITA him, it
possible, and if not to deprive him of his infiu-
ence over the old veterans and move on the Cap
itol by arms. General Sherman is positive in his
mind that il was only the courage and manhood
of General Grant that frustrated very bloody
military maneuver."

THE MILITARY SERVICE.
Points from the Annual Reports of Adjutant-
General Drum.


WASHINGTON, Nov. s. Adjutant general
Drum in his annual report to the Secretary of
War, invites attention to the subject of the
obsolete arms and ammunition in the hands of
the State militia, or stored in the several State
armories. It would, he says seem most wise
measure. if at the approaching session of Con
eress general act were passed providing for i'm
mediate exchange, when requested, of all obso-
etc arms now in the hands of the militia of the
everal States for improved Springfield rifles,
ealiber 10. and appropriate ammunition there
for. He recommends that proof be required
with the application for the detail
of military professor at any
military school that at least $50 male
pupils above the age of fifteen years are usually
present He finds that, in some cases, the num-
Der runs as low sixty. He recommends that
non-commissioned officers and privates on the
retired list be paid gross in money in lieu
of the present pay and Communication of allow
ances, and he submits table embodying a prop
osition to pay them at rates varying from $53. 40
per month for chief musicians to 1913 80 for ar
tifcers. He recommends the publication of a
new edition of army regulations to conform
with the laws enacted since the present code
was promulgated, and calls attention to the in
adequacy in size of the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth. He calls special attention to the
value of work done by the prisoners. He also
calls attention to the difficulty of securing clerks
acquainted with army ferns, and recommends
remedies.

Governor Swineford Presents Some Facts
Concerning Its Resources.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Goyernor A. r.
Swineford, of Alaska, has made his first annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior on the
condition of affairs in that Territory. He ar
rived at Sitka Sept L. and was cordially re-
ceived, save by very few persons who, in the
language of the Governor. preferred a continu-
ance of the old orGer of affairs under which,
presumably, they had persuaded themselves to
believe they might individually profit much
more largely at the expense of The general gov
eminent than under the new. None of the ap-
preparations made for the support of the civil
government or for specific purposes appear to
have reached the hands of the ex offcio treas
urer, consequently he has no record of the dis
cursements, all Of which, with few exceptions
the Governor says, were made by the collector
of customs. An increased appropriation for
schools is asked. The children are
said to manifest more than the average
aptitude in study and the Aleuts are especially
anxious for the establishment of English schools
Reference is made to the disagreement between
the general agent of the schools and the people
of Sitka including the late officials of the civil
government. but the Governor says he has not
been in the Territory long enough to decide the
merits of the case impartially. Still he feels
constrained to say that the general agent, not
withstanding his recognized ability, is exceed
ingy unpopular. whether justly So or otherwise.
the Governor is not prepared to say. with the
people with whom cooperation is essential to the
success of the community.
The Governor dwels at length upon the great
natural resources of Alaska, and severely ar
raigns those government agents who have repre-
sented the country as inclement to degree that
precludes the cultivation of crops or the keeping
of domestic animals Nowhere, he says. in his
home travels, from Lake Superior to the Gulf of
Mexico, has he seen more luxuriant vegetation
than in southeastern Alaska. The harder veg
etables all grow to maturity and to enormous
size, and the cattle sleek and in the best pos
sible condition. The gold mines on Douglas
island opposite Juneau are in full operation. The
deposit is represented to be truly phenomenal
and the Governor says the mines promise to
figure more largely in the mining history of the
world than any other on record. The curing and
canning of cod and salmon has assumed large
proportions although the business has not yet
been largely remuuerative, by reason of the
sharp competition of the Columbia river fish
cries The Indian police system is highly com
mended Attention is also directed to the needs
of the Territory in the matter of mail facilities,
etc. The law prohibiting the liquor traffic is
said to have been disregarded. Defects in the
laws governing the territorial organization are
discussed at length.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Authorization has
been received here that M. s. White, foreman of
the Mcpherson raisin ranch, three miles east of
Orange, Los Angeles county, was attacked by
about sixty Cinnamon employed in the vineyard.
Tended himself until eight white men, working
near by came TO his rescue with shoves. All
the Cinnamon then fed to their camp, where
they fortified and armed themselves with pistols.
The boss Chinaman called on Mapleson Bros
and asked them to discharge the white man,
which they refused to do. Several of The Chi
namen were discharged, and the remainder went
to work. The affair has created intense excite
ment among the white people in that section.
