Order Issued by the Commander OF the
Potomac Department. e. \. l..
WASHINGTON, December 2S.-COlonel
Jerome B. Burke, commanding the Depart
ment of the Potomac OF the Grand Army of
the Republic, has issued an order in
which, after reviewing General Logan's
brilliant war record, he says:
''He was among the very earliest in the
work of organizing the Grand Army of the
Republic, and to him as much as to any
other man is due the credit of at
tanning the proud position which
our order holds to-day throughout
tie country. Reposing confidence in him,
he was again and again elected Command
er-in-Chief, and at no time have the COM
rades lost confidence in him-he has been
true to us and our interests always. Hon
est, loyal, brave and patriotic, his memory
will never fade from the minds of those
who have loved and respected him so long,
This Department tenders to his loving wife
and family its deepest sympathy in their
sud bereavement, with the assurance that
his patriotic deeds and illustriOus services,
both in the field and in the halls of Con-
gress, will be sacredly cherished by his late
cOmradeS-iI-armS."
The usual emblems OF respect have been
ordered.

triot. Mrs. Logan has expressed
wish that the place shall be one which
will never suffer from the encroachment of
commerce and population. She refers 10
the site of the Douglass monument which,
when selected, was remote from popula-
tion, but is now surrounded by a steam
railroad and dwelling houses. A suitable
place, she thinks, will be found near the
entrance to the South Park.
Among the hundreds of messages of con-
dOlence sent Mrs. Logan, is the following:
WASHINGTON, December 81, 1886.
lIrs. John A. Logan:
DEAR MADAM-The military Of the
Loyal Legion of the United States wish
me to express to you its sincere sympathy
and coincidence in this hour of your great
trouble. In the death of your illustriOus
husband the Loyal Legion has lost one OF
its most distinguished soldiers, and high
ly esteemed companion.
Very respectfully,

tuned the witness TO grant il, which he,
accepting her version of her husbands
character, had refused to give; that on the
day of the alleged assault he went to Coui-
ston at Mrs. CoulstOn's request TO have a
final talk about the letter; that he again
refused to grant it, whereupOn Mrs. Couls-
ton suddenly threw her arms around him

A RIVER CONFEDERATION.
Two Steamers and Four Barges Destroyed
Loss Placed at 81 ,0O0, ,0Oc.

Loss Placed at 81 ,O0O. .0OG.
CAIRO. ILL.,. December 2s.-Fire at 6
o'clock this morning destroyed the Mis-
sissippi Valley transportation steamer, R.
S. Hayes and four barges, and the Anchor
Line steamer, City of Natchez, while lay
ing at the bank. The fire is supposed to
have originated in the aft cabin of the
steamer Hayes, soon enveloping the whole
boat, burning her to the waters edge. The
fire spread to the City of Natchez, lying
just below the Hayes, and in a few mo-
ments, she, too, was mass Of flames. The
barges alongside of the Hayes loaded with
cotton, soda ash and sundries, also took
fire and were completely destroyed. Moth
ing but the wrecks of the burned hulls re-
main.
The City of Natchez was built at Jeffer-
sonville three years ago and was valued at
one hundred thousand dollars. She was
one of the finest boats on the Mississippi.
The Hayes was built by the Valley Com
pany about five years ago and valued at
the barges and contents will make the loss
reach about million dollars. The in
surance is not known at present. A strong
northwest wind at the time of the fire
held the boats in to the hank and prevent
ed tugs from saving the fleet. Two barges
lying ON the outside Of those burned were
cut loose and towed to q safe harbor by
the tugs. The wrecked, burning hulls
were then towed to the other side of the
river and beached.
The steamer Natchez, which burned at
Cairo this morning, was owned by the st.
Louis and New Orleans Anchor Line, was
one Of the most noted boats plying the
lower Mississippi river was valued at
Sl20, 600 and insured for $50, 900. The r.
s. Hayes was stern wheel towboat of pow
erful capacity, belonged to the st. Louis
and Mississippi Valley Transportation
Company, valued at $50, 900 and insured
for $4,000 The barges burned were No.
%, No. 40, No. 81, and the Iron Duke,
valued at 500 each and not insured.
They were owned by the same company as
the Hayes. The Iron Duke and No. ~
were pulled out and sent down the river,
and at last accounts were still burning.
The Iron Duke had about 20, 600 bushels
Of corn as cargo. The No. 40 had 100
bales of cotton on board. The No "a had
5000 sacks of salt, and No 2s carried $50
Drums caustic soda. There was probably
other cargos not yet reported. All the
Cargos was insured. The loss is estimated
at $400,0O

\ APENsIoN FOR MRS. LOGAN.

Congress VIII Probably Vote Her rive
Thousand Year.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2S.-The
Erening star says: Among the members
of those who iSited the Capitol yesterday
and to-day, the suggestion was passed
around that liberal pension should be
granted to the widow of General Logan
and it met with hearty approval on every
hand. Democrats manifested rs much
eagerneSs as Republicans to join in provid-
ing for the widow. The hearty manner in
which the suggestion has been taken hold
of renders it quite certain that
among the first acts of Congress
upon reassemb!ing will be he to pass a
pension bill for Mrs. Logan. Il is agreed
that there would he eminent propriety in
granting liberal pension based upon Gen.
LOganS military services. Some members
are OF the opinion that the pension should
be $1,000 per year. This is the sum
granted to widows of Presidents, and
though General Logan did not occupy an
Office 50 exalted as that he was the rec0g-
nized head representative of the volunteer
sOldiery. 1t is hardly probable that a
pension of less than -, 500 will be voted il
the expressions OfCOngreSSmen upon that
subject may be taken as Il criterion. With
regard tn the pension, rs there is no civil
pension list, the proposition for the relief
OF Mrs. Logan considers only the military
services of her husband.
1t is claimed that no violence will be
done to the letter or the spirit OF the law
i'll granting her a pension, as Genera. LO-
gan was a sufferer up to his death from
the effects OF his army experience. In
fact it is asserted that th% rheumatism

was contracted by exposure in the army
