ST. LOUIS JAM IL.
To Rev. George Morris, Baltimore:
Dear Sir--I have received your letter of the
7th. with newspaper slip inclosed. or course
have read carefully the first volume
of General Grants memoirs. and regard it as
admirable in every sense, and now await the
second volume, which | doubt not will be equal
ly valuable and interesting From the day re-
ported to him from Paducah till his DEATH our
relations We're as brothers, rather than as COM
mander and commanded, and it is utterly impos-
sible that could have written or spoken the
words as quoted in the December number of the
North A,nerlcan Review. / have very large
correspondence and converse freely with thou
sands of people, and |, naturally have often spec
uIated Hs1nieht have been had General Grant
gone to ssar and c. F. Smith fought the battle
of Shiloh; what might have been had Washing
ton accepted his warrant in the English navy,
ETC.. but that could have written the positive
expression that had G.. F. Smith lived General
Grant would have disappeared from history is
an impossbility. Personally, l want to live in
peace, and avoid all controversy, but am conf
dent that in good time we shall learn on what
authority or hearsay this publication is based
inclose with this slip containing my
last public utterance about General Grant,
wher l announced his death to his old comrades
of the Army of the Tennessee. / don't believe
any man, living dead, has borne more willing
testimony to General Grants great qualities,
especially as demonstrated at Henry, Donelson,
Shiloh and Vicksburg, than myself
"Yours truly, w. T. SHERMAN"
General Sherman incloses printed copy of a
portion of his speech to the Army of the Ten

Where They Are Located, and How the United
States Became Interested in the Group.
Chicago News.
The Samoan or Navigator islands, which are
likely TO be the of serious diplomatic dis
pute between the United States. England and
Germany. owing to their high handed seizure re-
Gently by a war vessel of the lastnamed coun-
try, are seven in number The group lies be-
tween the thirteenth and fourteenth parallels of
south latitude, and between 168 degrees and 173
degrees Of west longitude extending sixty nau-
tical miles north and south, and about two hun
dred and eighty miles east and west. The total
area of the islands is 1850 miles, and the popu-
lation is estimated at $4,000, of which 500 are
whites The islands were first discovered in
1721 by Dutch navigator named Rogge-
weln, and were subsequently visited at
long intervals by M. De Bougainville, by La Pc
rouse, and by whalers, slavers and pirates. In
1889 the United States exploring expedition
made a careful survey Of the group. The oplv
whites found on the islands at the time were
runaway sailors and deserters from the men of
war. They were living friendly terms with
the natives, had married and in some cases had
acquired considerable property. Following this
expedition American and foreign missionaries
came to the islands, and eventually the firm of
Cesar, Godefroy & Co., of Hamburg and San
Francisco, CAL, opened q branch house at Apia

plantations, and acquired considerable fortune
during the civil war by shipping the product to
Europe in its own vessels About this time con-

States and Germany.

A SPIRITED MEETING.
Sensational Session of the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs.

tee on Naval Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The meeting of the
House naval affairs committee took sensational
turn to-day The Boutelle resolution, inquiring
about the dismissal of ex. Union soldiers and sail
ors frcza tbs Norfolk pasy-yara 21d the appoints
nent of ex-confederates in their places and as to
the statement that certain inscriptions commem-
orative of victories the confederates have been
defaced was called up, and led to heated dis
cussion. Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, made speech
denouncing the resolution and mpucnng the
motives of its mover. He insinuated that the
resolution was introduced from a de-
sire to make party capital, and
expressed the opinion that it should
be amended so as to allow a general investiga-
ton into the conduct of the navy-yards He
urged that mere newspaper report was the sole
foundation for the proposed investigation, and
that it was not becoming the dignity of Congress-
to heed such stories.
Mr. Boutelle vigorously defended the resolu-
ton. He said he had been assured by brother
member that the publication was substantially
correct. He wanted the matter investigated
Mr. Thomas pointed out that the resolution
was not for an investigation. 1t was for sim.
pie inquiry, and if the story was without foun.
dation the Navy Department could easily prick
the bubble.

Mr.. Thomas acquesced in that assumption,
but said that in the case under consideration ii

but whether the statute giving preference to
Union soldiers had been violated He wanted
to know whether Union soldiers had been dis.

whether memorial stones commemorating Union
victories had been obliterated.

Other members of the committee expressed
themselves in strong language, and the session
ended without action on the resolution, which
will come up for consideration at the next meet.

His Views Silver Are Not Satisfactory to
Friends of the Metal

His Views on Silver Are Not Satisfactory tn
Friends of the Metal.
Washington Special.
Ex-senator Joe Mcdonald. of Indiana. who
has been in the city this week, has disturbed
the silver people considerably by expressing
views quite unsatisfactory to those who want to
keep up the coinage of the silver dollar When
Mcdonald was in the Senate he was an open and
outspoken advocate of the silver dollar, but he
says now the amount of silver dollars coined has
about reached the point where coinage ought to
be stopped. He says he would advise measure
of temporary effect, which would for
sity for a cessation of coinage He
would bring up the debased subsidiary
coins to the full weight of the standard dollar in
proportion TO their denomination. This Mr.
Mcdonald thinks would open up market for
our subsidiary coins in the West Indies the is-
lands of the Pacific and Asatic countries. He
says the masses of the people in these countries
have little or no use for large coins. Wages ara
low, all commodities which the common people
purchase are cheap, and they never buy in large
quantities, SO that there is great demand for
small coins, and cur subsidiary coin is not gem
orally used, simply because it is debased Raise
it TO full weight the basis Of 4l21 grains to the
dollar and according to Mr.. Mcdonald, it will
flow out to these countries in great quantities.
His programme is to charge all the subsidiary
coinage against the So, 100000 minimum re-
quired by the Bland act. To just the extent
subsidiary coin was coined the coinage of stand
ard silver would be reduced, and it is moro than
probable the plan would work practical susnen-
zion OF coinage. so far the silver dollar is
cerned Mr. Mcdonald admits that ne under
stands this effect of his suggestion, aud goes

Non-Union Men Attacked by Strikers,

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-This morning a serious riot
occurred at Halstead and Green streets, between
the strikers at Maxwells and number of new
employees who were going to their work. But
for the prompt interference of the police the re-
suit might have been quite serious The strik-
ers numbered about fifteen and were armed
with clubs, while the on-unionists were more
than three times the number of their assailants.
The attack was fierce, but short-lved. Only
one man is reported as being injured. The
police succeeded in arresting three men, named
Henry Lindelse Thomas O'Malley and Dan
Mahoney The prisoners will be brought before
Justice Ipgersoil to-day.
