GENERAL GRANT.
What the Old War Horse Wants ~ to be
Placed ON the Retired List With
His Back Pay.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-People in Wash
ington are, as general thing, very much
puzzled over the jugglery of General Grants
poverty. First he appears 70 solicit help
aud then le refuses it. New York Con-
gressman, who is the personal friend o. the
old war hero, said to me to-day:
81 csn tell you al that General Grant
wants and all be has wanted during the
time he has been out of the White House
He wants to be placed on the retired list,
with pay from the time be gave up the DOS
ton OF General of the Army unit
now. he told me this himself F.
thinks 1t due him; and 50
|. We can afford to go
little to extremes with Just one hero, when
the old countries go much further with
many of their old warriors. think Gen.
eral Grant would be highly pleased If he
were placed on the retired list Of the army,
dating from March 4, 1877. The pay be
would get would just about afford him
means to pay Vandernilfs claim against
him, and the height of the old mans ambi-
tion is independence"
Would General Grant pay Vanderbilt
with the money Congress would give him?'
''Yes, sir" replied the Congressman; land
that is one Of the reasons he is so anxious
about it. He thinks, too, that his refusal of
contributed aid from friends will precipitste
Congressional action. Then he could heui-
date the debt and be under obligations only
to his country in common. 1t is very hu-
initiating to General Grant, sll this contro-
versy over his fnan cial affairs"
What will be the result of it?"
81 have hopes yet that Congress will pass
the retirement bill before March. Should it
not do so, however. it will next winter. The
Democrats intend to do it, and they want it
done all under their administration and
Cleveland to sign the bill. General Grant
told me more than eight years sgo that ne
thought the talk about his being President
again was folly. I am sure he thinks so
now"

evidence than that it was not the purpose
or wish of the Chief Signal Officer that
Lieutenant Darlington should on his
way nerthward make q depot at or
near Litileton Island. Lieutenant Greely
waeted the vessel of 1883 to leave about 500
rations on the west side of Smiths Sound.
This is just about what Lieutenant Garling
ton did leave on the west side OF Smiths
Sound, out of stores saved from the wreck
OF the Proteus, and therefore, down to the
point from which Lieutenant Greedy ex-
pecteG to reach the relief station at or near
Littleton Island he was provided substan-
italy as he himself requested.

specifications and shows that the Court of
Inquiry was perfectly right in its conclu-

PISTOL FUSILLADE.
Some Very Rapid Firing in the Mascot
Omce-NObody Seriously Hurt.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12.-At 1915 to-day
great excitement was caused on Camp street
by the rapid firing of pistol shots-so rapid
that some thought a bunch of frecrackers
was being exploded. The firing took place
in the Mascot Office, 6S Camp street, up
stairs, between ]. D. Houston, State Tax
Collector, and George 0smond, editor Of the
Mascot.
1t is also stated that Robert Brewster,
State Register of Voters, accompanied
Houston and took part in the shooting.
Houston and 0smond each received pistol
shot wound in the hand. The trouble was
caused by the publication in yesterdays
Houston and his brother, J. d Houston.
Houston says he called at the Mascot Office to
punlEh Osmond; that he used stick, and only

GArlington Disappointed-The Nicaragua
Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-The refusal OF the
Secretary of War to order court martial on
the charges preferred by General Razen is
great disappointment to Lieutenant CARING
ton. By his counsel and in person he re.
peatedly urged the ordering of such court,
and he learns with great regret the decision
of the Secretary Of War.
The Senate spent three hours to day in
secret discussion of the Nicaraguan treaty.
Senator Miller, of California, made a long
formal speech in its support giving history
of the negotiations from beginning and SEN
a'or Sherman made an equal formal speech
in opposition, basing his argument chiefly
on the belief that the Clayton -Bulwer treaty
was still in force. AT the conclusion of the
debate motion was made to have the two
speeches printed for the use of the Senate
in executive session, but it was withdrawn
upon a suggestion OF the danger that the
topics might reach the press and the public
