GEN. GRANTS BOOK.
How Adam Badeau Tried to Play
the Hog

NEW YORK, March 17.-The Herald
this morning publishes nearly full
page giving the history of Gen. Badeau's
connection with Gen. Grant in the prep
aration of the latter's book and includ-
ing the correspondence which has taken
place in reference to Gen. Badeau'S
claim for compensation. Under the date
of May 5, 1885, Gen. Grant wrote letter
to Badeau, from which the following
are extracts:
81 did not contemplate your writing
anything except in case of my death,
but expected you to help me arrange
and to criticise my work so that could
correct it. The work which l wanted
you to do l did not think would take
over two months of your time. working
on an average of four hours day, six
days in the week. For your work, it
being understood as above, | proposed
to give you $1,000 out of the first
$4,000 received from its sale and $1,000
out of the next $4,000. Your letter af-
fordS an abundance of reasons why you
should not helpme in my work which is
| to bear my name. But these are sufficient:
You ask for a contract and demand
| $1,000 per month in advance until the
work is completed and 10 per cent Of the
entire profits arising from the sale of
the work after it is put upon the mar
ket. This would make you partner
with my family as long as the book
found sale. This is preposterous. Not
one moment has your proposition been
entertained by me. This, with the
statements enumerated in this letter
and Others contained in yours, makes it
impossible for us to be associated in a
work which is to bear my name. 1t
would be degradation to me to accept
honors and profit from the work of an
other man while declaring to the public
that it was the product of my own brain
and hand"
In letter dated May 4, 1885, Gen.
Badeau admits his exact relation to the
book, as follows:
Gas stated to you in my letter of
Saturday, have no desire, intention or
right to claim the authorship of your
book. The composition is entirely your
own. What assistance | have been able
to render you has been in suggestion, re-
vision OF yerification."

Elk ecration of Ingalls, Attack On
Hancock.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-'What do
you think of Col. Anderson's open
letter to Senator Ingalls, in defence of
Gen. Hancock's loyalty to the Union,"
inquired a representative of the United
Press to-day of Gen. Charles A. Gros-
venor, Republican representative from
Ohio. "The letter of Col. Anderson"
replied the general, ''has the ring of
generous comrade in defence of dead
comrades reputation and l honor him
for it. do not quite understand what
was in the mind of Senator Ingalls, when
he permitted the word other to stand
in his speech. can explain how it
may have been spoken, but | do not
concede by any means that the great
senator intended to class Hancock as
an ally of the Southern Confederacy
in any sense which could reflect upon
Gen. Hancock's loyalty to the Union or
his valor in war. Hancock was one of
the greatest and truest soldiers of the
war, and | think Senator ingalls, feel
so and has said so. But from the
standpoint of politics and in the light
of post bellum affairs, Hancock
had political record which is legiti-
mate subject of criticism, but as SOL

and when the hour for personal denun-
citation of ingalls, has passed, am SIRE
he will put himself right on the Rec
ord" A number of other prominent
Republicans were seen but there ap-
pears to be great hesitancy among
them about being quoted on the subject.
Col. w. W. Dudley, of Indiana,
ex-commissioner Of pensions, expressed
the views of great many others when
he said, ST think Senator ingalls, was
stung in the heat of debate into the eX-
preston which he used, and that he en-
ployed language which impaired more

pressions which he will modify. l have

as citizen and statesman, that l would
hesitate to miScOnStrue inadvertent re-

Gen. Thomas M. Browne, Republican
representative from Indiana, said: II

Hancock that would even justify sus-
picion that he was not devotedly at

in his desire to suppress the rebellion"
Gen. II. V. Boynton, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, said:

good and very strong, but not strong
enough. l do not think that criticism
too strong could be made on this matter
of an attempted smirch on Hancock's
character"
Maj. John McCarsou, the well-known
correspondent, said of Col.
AndersOn's letter: ''It is an excellent
defense of Hancock, without an assault
on Ingalls,"
Gen. Sheridan, Adjutant-General
Drum and other officers, while free
enough in their expressions of respect
for the memory and services of Gen.
Hancock, declined to be interviewed or

duty until further orders, as tits claimed
that misunderstanding caused them to
cease work. Yesterday afternoon all
the roads in st. Paul sent for the BROTH
erhOod committees and held rather
lengthy consultation, though 1t is not
known what the result Of these confer
enceS was.
"Where we conceded some things to
these roads, in order to save them ex-
pense and trou bic, they overstepped the
bounds and took all possible advantage
of it." said leading engineer. "ThOse
roads which have broken the trust will
meet the crisis at once. Their trans
gresSiOns will cost them something. We
do not discriminate, but include all the
roads. Where the charges are sustained
the men on those roads will quit work
to-day. The boys are wonderfully
worked up and are naturally indignant
that the roads have not lived up to
fair, honorable agreement. The regu-
lar meeting will be held at the corner of

stepping its terms as a matter OF accom-
mediation to the Burlington, this MORN
ing refused to do the switching
longer. At noon 1 had a con
ference with committee of the
engineers, and after they had
been informed as to this contract were
convinced that the suspension was
result of a misunderstanding. At 4:30
p. m. they set out for Minneapolis to
rectify the error, and at $3.50 this even
ing those who had quit in the morning
resumed work. Our men have no
grievance and are disinclined to do any
thing which would tend in any way to
prevent the Manitoba from living up to
its contract with the Burlington"

They Are Inyalids.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 17.-About
thirty engineers and firemen, who de-
serted their engines ON the Santa Fe
road Tuesday, held meeting here to-
day. They disclaim being strikers, but
all say they are invalids. One
principal speaker justified the pres
ent course of laying off on the
ground that the Santa Fe company
has, he alleges, handled freight in
sealed cars which they received from
the 20" road. This seems to be the
only difficulty existing between the
company and the engineers. The lat
ter, however, say that since they have

accedes to the terms of the engineers or
the trouble is adjusted by arbitration.

Arthur's Statements of How the

CHICAGO, March ia statement
was published in morning paper to
the effect that Chairman Hoge, of the
grievance committee, had called on
President Perkins, of the Burlington
railway, last Saturday and informed him
that the strikers would he willing to go
back to work on the old terms if the
company would promise to consider the
schedule of wages later.
"The truth about the HOge interview
is Just this" said Chief Arthur to re-
porter. "Hoge called OH the president
last Saturday to see If some settlement
could not be made. After more or less
discussion Mr.. Perkins said he was will
ing to pay the same rate paid by other
roads. That much settled, the question
arose as to how the men should be
taken. Hoge wanted them all taken
back, but Mr.. Perkins said that could
not be done, so the conference took an
adjournment, and Chairman Hoge came
back and had talk with the men. He
then returned to Mr.. Perkins and asked
him if he woold take back the men on
the passenger service, giving them their

at that time accede to either, and the
conference came to an end. | don't
know that there is anything far Us to be
ashamed about in our having gone to
the road. 1t shows that we are
WILLING AND DESTROYS
to settle the difficulty. That l am sure
is no disgrace to us. Even were we
beaten, don't think that would be a
disgrace. We went into the fight in an
honorable way, and everything we have
done has been perfectly honorable"
''Do you, then, consider that you are
beaten?"
Not at all; by no means. We are as
strong as ever. We simply wished to
see If settlement could not be made.
Now, inasmuch as the Burlington has
seen fit to speak of this conference, /

view between Chairman HOge and Gen
eral Manager Stone before / was called
into the controversy at all. 1t was
the last interview that Hoge had
with Stone, and shows the cOncilia
tory manner of the latter gentleman.
MIR. HOge stated that he had conferred
with the men and had come with full
power to settle the difficulty and avoid a
strike. As Hoge finished, Stone jumped
to his feet and exclaimed, Strike and be
d-d.' With that the interview came to
an end, and / was called"
Chief Arthur heard from Chairman
Conroe, of the AtchisOn grievance COM
mittee, to-day. Chairman ConrOe, he
said, is not coming to Chicago, so that
the difficulty on the Santa Fe would, if
at all, be settled without his presence.
Mr.. Conroe had repeated his statement,
however, that the Santa Fe strike had
been caused by the road having violated

MEADvILLE, Pa, March 17.-The fast
Erie express, No. Is, and passenger
train No. 8. both running twenty-five
miles an hour, collided on curve near
the city limits at 1:3O o'clock this afterz
noon. The engines and baggage and
mail cars on both trains were totally
demolished and several coaches badly
broken. No. was coming in from Frank
lin on time. No. 13, three hours late,
had pulled out from the depot, the en-
gineer and conductor forgetting all
about No. 9. Engineer B. w. Fessender
was found pinned to the boiler head by
the tender of his engine. He was re-
moved to the hospital and is probably
fatally injured Roadmaster McManus,
riding on Fessender's engine, was
frightfully bruised and cut, but
may recover. Both firemen, Aaron
Van Repis and Charles Wilkes,
jumped from their engines and were
badly bruised. Engineer It. w. Arm
strong stopped to reverse his engine
and was caught in the wreck. He was
badly stunned, but will recover. Bag
gage Agents Abe NoXon and Bonrel
miraculously escaped, both their cars
being telescoped. The passengers suf-
fered from the shock and fright, but
none are reported injured.

WINNIPEG, Man., March 17.-Thomas
Newton, the man who murdered John

Newton was very depressed in the

by Jail official, and followed by two

slow, nervous steps, and wore a sad,
hopeless countenance. After the pris-

pronounced. His lordship then asked
the prisoner if he had anything to say

be given. The prisoner in ahusky voice
replied: ~ think have, e,sir," and asked
if half an hour would be allowed him,
and whether he would be permitted Ia

trial and his relations with the man ha

why he fired, the prisoner said: 81 fred

Engineers Are Aroused to a

The strike in st. Paul is beginning to

the night. Committees had been actively
at work, and their reports struck like
bomb shells. 1t was said that all the
roads in st. Paul that had agreed with
the brotherhood to cease hauling 20"
cars had severally broken their
trusts and had been carrying
on a systematic stealing" as it
died 60" business in every way they
could, by using other cars, etc., etc.
This reused every man in the room, as
they had been using their roads fairly
and expected honorable treatment in re-
turn. No discrimination was made and
the brotherhood decided at once upon a
course of action.
"This thing has got to come to fo-
GUS" they said, land that, too, speed
ily."
They are tired of the monotony and
this action on the part of the railroads
was the last straw. In their own words
the strike must 60 one way or another
by tonight. The men on these roads
will either
QUIT WORK TONIGHT,
or quietly go back to work, so they said.
This should not be constructed into
meaning that matters are likely to as
sumo their former state, for the engi-
neers positively state that they will
not. The engines will either be manned
by Brotherhood men, or they will not
be manned alta The men are particu-
Iarly ''sore" against the Manitoba and
st. Paul & Duluth, though the Mime
apolis & Northwestern comes in for
its share, if foundation can be had for
the charges brought against it.
