Mr.. Garland Talks.

WASHINGTON, February 17.-Attorney-
General Garland said TO day to an agent Of
the Associated Press that he had nothing
new to say C. .ncerning the manner in which
he became interested in the Pan-Electric
Telephone Company or the circumstances
under which the suit at Memphis against
the Bell Company was instituted by direc-
ton of the Solicitor-G General last autumn.
"For," he added, my published statement
to the President last October said every
thing knew about those matters. and my
attitude in regard to them has not changed
in the least since then; besides an investi-
CATION covering the whole question is to be
had by the House OF Representatives,
and I ain glad of it, and hope it will
be thorough and complete, and all
there is of it will be revealed
and made public. In advance of this in
vestigation, which heartily welcome, I
feel disinclined to 60 into the subject in de-
tail; but I will say this, however: 1t is as
serted by some persons that as l am

Company, and the Government now is

phone patent, this suit may result to my
benefit or advantage, ana that too, while

whom the suit is to bt carried on and that,
therefore, something should be done by me

in all it's bearings as far as l am able
and I recognize the fact that there is
much in it worthy OF thought. I have

One by one the heroes of the greatest
struggle OF modern times are passing away
and with them are passing the bitter feel
ings, the anguish and tho agony that was
eDgendered by the civil war. Gen. Hancock
was one OF the noblest figures in the civil
war, and since it's close has gained the
esteem of his opponents, as he has the ven
Grafton of his friends. On February 9 Gen.
Hancock died UNEXPECTEDLY at his post OF
eight hours had he been confined to his
bed. The first Indication OF disease was
the appearance of a slight boil on the
back Of his neck, which was lanced but in
four days thereafter developed into car
buncle. The matter, however, gave him
little trouble, and only on Wednesday pre-.
vious to his death did he admit feeling un-
we'll. Kidney troubles and diabetes mani
tested themselves, and on Sunday the
patient took to his bed. On Mon
day, however, he was much inn
proved, but the carbuncle caused
some concern. Early on Tuesday the
diabetes became worse and there was a
hemorrhage from the sore on the neck.
Medical assistance, from New York, in
addition to the post staff was called, but
fatal symptoms had appeared and without
struggle. calmly, quietly, the hero passed

Gen. Hancock was born February IA,
1924, in Montgomery county. Pennsylva-
MIA. He graduated from West Point
Academy in 1874 and in 1S4o received his
commission as Lieutenant Of Infantry. He
served during the Mexican war and at it's
close was quartermaster of his regiment.
In 1855 he took part in the Florida ca M
paign against the Seminole Indians. In
1861 he was appointed a Brigadier- General
Of Volunteers and served in the Army OF
the Potomoc. He accompanied Nc
Clellan's army to the Peninsula in 1862
and distinguished himself at the battle Of
Williamsburg. At the battle OF
Fredericksburg in December 1862
suffered severely and for his
meritorious conduct on this occasion, re-
ceived q commission as Major-General Of
volunteers. He was a most conspicuous
figure in the battle OF Gettysburg and did
much to enable Union success. He was
wounded during the engagement. In April,
1864, he was promoted to the command OF
the Second Army Corps. and was engaged
in the battles of the Wilderness campaign.
He was promoted to be Brigader- General
Of the regular army in August, 1864, Brevet
Major-General in March, 1865, and Major
General in July, 1866. After the war
he was successfully commander OF
the Middle Department., Department OF
the Missouri, Louisiana and Texas and
Dakota Upon the death Of General
Meade. in November 1872, the President APP
pointed him to the command OF the Army OF
the East, with the headquarters at Gov
ernors Island. In 1880 he was chosen as
the standard b.arer + the Democracy in
the Presidential race, but he was defeated
at the polls by the late President Garfield,
who received q majority OF fifty y-nine votes.
General Hancock had command Of the
cortege attending the obsequies OF Grant,
and his appearance on that occasion fully
substantiated the claims that he was the
handsomest and most soldierly looking
officer in the army.
