.GENaAALs GRANT AND M'coeK
The Old Commanders Account of the
Shiloh Battle Misunderstood.


Shiloh Battle Misunderstood.
NEW YoRK, Feb. S.-General Grant In
an interview to day, said he had again
been misunderstsod in regard to his re+
cent article on the battle of Shiloh. Gep-
eral Grant said: "No reflection was In.
tended on the psfzooai courage or zeal of
General A. Med. McCosk, or the 6ght-
ing qualities Of his division. On the
contrary / expressly stated his division
marched from twelve miles east of Ssvsn-
nab and had boon up all night getting
from Savannah 10 the battlefield, and as
matter of fact they had been in q heavy
storm of rain during the night march.
McCook's division did as good service per-
haps, as any division On the field on Mon
day, the 7th, and on one occasion during
that day the opportunity fell to it to do
service which received special commen-
dation in the Oficial reports of General
Sherman and two other general officers
of the Army of the Tennessee. The only
thing I can see In my article that can be
constructed as rejecting upon McCook,
although 1t was not 50 intended by me,
is the statement that the request not to
be sent In pursuit did not come from of
ficers and men Of the division, but from
the commander. What McCook said was
correct, his smen should not have been
sent in pursuit, and acted on his ad vice
and tdid not send them. The article

A Glass i'm kissing.

Sweden is no longer governed by lady,
otherwise the British minister at Stock
holm might signaliZe the advent of May by
a recurrence to the diplomatic courtesies of
Bulstrode Whitelocke, which proved SO sue
cessful in their time. That most gallant Of
ambassadors relates in his journal how he
invited Queen Christice to accompany him
into England on May day. He explained
that it was great day in his own country,
sswhen the gentlemen used to wait upon
their mistresses abroad, to bid the spring
welcome, and to give some collation. or en-
tertainment for them. Now Che pursued),
your majesty being my mistress. it you will
do me the honor that, after the custom of
England, may wait on you on May day
and have little treatment for you after
the manner of England, this / call going
into England; and shall take it as very
great favor from your majesty" The
queen replied that, if this were the ambas-
sador's meaning. ''She should be very will
ing, as his mistress, to go with him and see
the English mode" The fete seems to have
given great satisfaction to the .'lucid star of
the north" as Milton styles her. She was
even pleased, among ether frolics. to COM
mand Whitelocke to teach her ladies the
English salutation, which, after some pretty
defenses, their lips obeyed, and Whitelocke
most readily" In those days the English

Commerce Committee at ST. Louis

OOMRAACIC0 OUAAAA1SGCC SAt Sts LOtASs
ST.. LOUIS, June ls.-Senators, 10 Cul-
lum, Platt and Harris of the committee on
interstate commerce continued their inves-
tigation here this morning. Edward II.
Allen, president of the board of trade Of
Kansas City, was the first witness.
He called the attention of the COM
mittee to the necessity of making draw
backs illegal. He said that by drawbacks
he meant the system under which individual
shippers are given chance to make pro-
fit not open to all He also desired to call
their attention to the pooling system on all
grain roads, which should be natural COM
petitors. He suggested the remedy
was to compel all roads to make
open publication of their rates and
provide penalty whenever they
should be found cutting them. 1t wa de-
veloped that the grain rate from Kansas
City to ST. Louis. 2S0 miles, was Is cents,
and from ST. Louis to New York, 1000
miles, it was II cents. MI. Allen then said
he knew the average farmer in the West
would probably think this an extortion,
which gave him the idea that railroad was
his natural enemy. William II. Miller
secretary of the Kansas City board of trade,
followed. He suggested that government
commission should take hold of the
matter of rates for the present, and that
the final remedy for all complaints would
be the establishment of an executive de-
partment of the government which would
gather in the different bureaus of transpor-
taticn, agriculture and commerce under
one head, and which would guard the ship
ping interest of the whole country. Rebates
and drawbacks should be absolutely abol-
ished, and congress should positively pro-
hibit all pools

Decidedly Rough Passage.

Special 10 Jne GlODe.
QUEBEC, June 1s.-Capt. Supplies of the
German bark Marguerite, who arrived from
Granton, Scotland, after passage of
eighty-five days, tells about his detention
by vast fields of ice and innumer-
able icebergs. The ship first
met ice during heavy gale on May 1.
Finding the ice to extend in solid mass
from north to south he turned back to clear
it. On May he was in company with the
steamship Bon Homme and three other
sailing vessels, and surrounded by hundreds
of icebergs, some three miles in circumfer-
ence and hundreds of feet high. Most of
these icebergs finally entered the
field of ice. which drove it in
southeasterly direction. The Margarethe
got clear of the distractions in degree 46
and sailed along the eastern edge down as
far as degree 43 north and so degrees west,
and then met seventy or eighty immense
icebergs One big fellow had capsized and
was laying at an angle of Al degrees. 1t
was perforated with huge holes by the ac-
tiens of the waves. On the 2Sth of May an
the southern edge of the French banks at 8
o'clock, during thick weather and heavy
storm, the captain picked up small hoat
containing two men from the French fishing
brig Amelia, Capt. Boquet of St. Malice,
who had missed their ship at noon that day.
The Margarethe was hove to for the night,
and at o'clock next morning the two men
were transferred to another fishing vessel.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. -
In his book, Gen. Grant tells of one little
incident in his own boyhood days on the
farm near ST. Louis. He and his father
had gone into town. and some one had Of
fered to sell his father pony.
The price asked was $25. The elder
Grant only wanted to pay $40. The boy
had set his heart ON the pony, however,and
stood by his fathers side, tugging his coat
and silently coaxing him to make the pur-
chase. The man wouldn't change his fig
ure, and Mr.. Grant turned away, his son
following in deep distress. Finally young
Grant besought his father to make the pur-
chase any how"
''WeI," said the father, run back andeof-
fer $50, and if he will not take that offer
him $22.50 and if he wont take that offer
him $25."
ST did so said the General 81 told the
man my father said to offer him $40, and if
he wouldn't take that to offer him $22. so,
and if he wouldn't take that to offer him
$25."
Then he adds: ssIt would not take
Connecticut manto guess what the man
got."

court was filled with women, many of
whom were losers through Kuhn and when
the latter stepped out they assaulted him
with great violence, one OF the women
screaming out in English: '"That is the
fellow who stole our money. Let's kill
him." She accompanied the words with
a blow from her parasol which
knocked MI Kuhn's hat off. 1t was imme-
diately pOunced upon by the other women,
who tore it to tatters. The first woman, in
the meanwhile, was vigorously applying her
umbrella over Kuhns head and shoulders.
A policeman dashed aside the men who were
urging the women on to the assault, and
seized her arm. Kuhn then ran into an
office and asked that he be protected from
his indignant countrynen, who, he said,
had deliberately formed aplot to assassinate
him. The men, he believed, were armed,
and had instigated the assault with the ex-
pectaton that he would in turn assail the
women and thus give them chance to kill
him

Injured ON the Cable Road.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1S.-Yesterday
train appeared on the top of the steep in
cline on the new cable road near the union
depot and dashed down at fearful rate of
speed. The train was composed of two
cars and grip car, and was filled with pas
sengers, who, when they saw the train be-
yond control, endeavored to escape. They
remained, however, in the car, as to jump
from the train would have been almost GER
tain death. AS the train proceeded, it
gained in speed. At the end of the plane
at the depot it collided with another train.
L. E. Ashley, w. M. Hanson, Dave Rick
EFT and Ernest Roberts, who were on the
grip car, were seriously injured. Roberts
had both legs amputated and will die. The
road has been in operation only two days.
The accident was caused by Dave Kickett,
the grip man, becoming excited and losing
control OF the grip.

DEFECTIVE DOLPHIN.
She is Weak in Structure and De-
ficiemt i'm Stipulated Power.

WASHINGTON, June 1S. = Secretary
Whitney sent letter to-day to Attorney
General Garland, accompanied by the re-
port of the board appointed to examine the
new dispatch boat Dolphin, which has re-
Gently undergone series of trials to test
her capacity to do the work required under
the specifications. The secretary asks the
attorney general to examine the report and
advise HIM what his duties in
the premises are. The report of the
advisory board to Secretary Whitney, upon
it's findings in connection with the trial Of
the Dolphin, covers much the same ground
as that traversed by the secretary's letter to
the attorney general though treating the
subject more fully. The DOlphin's trials on
the sound are spoken of at the rate Of fif-
teen knots an hour, whereas to make that
speed at sea she should have gone seven
teen to seventeen and half knots. 1t is
asserted that no attention has been
paid to the provision for an air
pressure in the fire room. The question of
horse power is taken up, and it is shown
that on the first trial the vessel showed
2, 100, on the second her crank-pin heated,
on the third she showed 2, 1858, and on the
fourth, with natural draft under the boil
ers, 1,648, whereas the contract calls for
2. 300. These trials also were made with
most favorable conditions as to water, coal
and management. The boat will be dry
docl1ed and her bottom examined. The
board thinks the specifications of the con-
tract have not been fulfilled.

LONDON, June 1S.-A terrible explosion
took place to-day in the Pendlebury col
liery, near Manchester. The cages in
which the volunteers were proceeding
down to the bottom of the pit
got stuck in the shaft and it was two
hours before the party could get to
work exploring the mine for the missing
men. Those who were rescued state that
when the explosion occurred they fled
to the bottom of the shaft, and
that they are ignorant OF the fate
OF their companions. The eXplo-
sion was caused by fire damp.
There were working in the mine at the time
OF the accident $40 miners, and 160 of these
were at work in the level in which the ex-
plosion occurred and cannot be reached,
owing to the masses OF coal thrown
down by the explosion, and which
closed up their means of exit.
The latest dispatch from Manchester
states that 204 miners have been recovered
alive from the Pendlebury colliery, that %
bodies have been taken out, and that 122
men are still unaccounted for. The work
OF exploring is impeded by bad ventilation
and water.
