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 | honor him
for it. | do not quite understand what
was in the mind of Senator Ingalls, when
in his speech. | can explain how it
may have been spoken, but l 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 a legiti-
mate subject of criticism, but as SOL
der Hancock stands upon pedestal
above cursory or unfriendly criticism,
and when the hour for personal denun-
citation of ingalls, has passed, l am SIRE
he will put himself right on the Rec
ord" A number of other prominent
Republicans were seen but there APP
pears to be great heSitancy among
them about being quoted on the subject.
eX-commissioner of pensions, expressed
the views of great many others when
he said, 81 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
than he really intended to say and eX-
preSSiOnS which he will modify. | have
such an admiration for the senator, both
as a citizen and statesman, that | would
hesitate to miSconstrue inadvertent re-
marks made by him."
Gen. Thomas M. Browne, Republican
representative from Indiana, said: II
know nothing in the record of Gen.
Hancock that would even justify suS-
picion that he was not devotedly at
tached to the government and sincere
in his desire to suppress the rebellion"
Gen. H. V. BoyntOn, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial-GaZette said:
81 thought Col. AnderSon'S letter very
enough. 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
newspaper correspondent, said of Col.
AndersOn's letter: ut 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
to give any expression of opinion re-
specting the merits of the contro-
VerSY.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE secre-
tary of the interior has rendered the
following important decision involving
the question of residence upon home
stead entries prior to making final
proof:
"To the Commissioner of the General
Land Office-Sir: have considered the
appeal of William A. Thompson from
your Office, decision of July g. 1886, re-
jecting his final proof for the land
therein mentioned. l think this man is
entitled to his patent. He made his
decarlatory statement April &c,
1888, alleging settlement the week be-
fore, and shows that he made it. 1t APP
pears that he was absent during most of
the following summer, that he was on
the land from fall until the following
spring, absent again during the succeed
ing summer; again upon the land from
fall until spring and not absent six
months at any one time: that he applied
the proceeds of his labor during the two
seasons when he was absent to the
building of his house and making i'm
provements on his land, now valued at
5000; that he was a poor man and his
absence was for the purpose of earning
the means to improve his land, and that
he devoted all the fruits of his earnings
with fidelity to that purpose. In the
spring of the third year
HE LEFT AGAIN
and remained absent until the follow
ing January, his purpose being to earn
sufficient money to pay the govern
ment for his land. The amount neces-
sary was $500, considerable sum for
a laborer to save from his wages dur
ing the year in addition to the neces-
Sary fees and expenses. He appears to
have done it, and Notwithstanding he
was not personally present upon his
land during the last six months preced-
ing the completion of his entry, the fact
cannot deny his right. He made "a
settlement in person. Oh this land, has
erected a dwelling thereon, he has i'm
proved the land and he has inhabited it
in good faith. When it is considered
that this tract was situated many miles
from the ordinary highways, remote
from settlements generally, that it is
very difficult of access, and yet that he
has persistently clung to it for three
years, applying all the results of his
labor to its Improvement and purchase,
it is difficult to discern a case more
worthy of being found marked by good
faith. 1t is marked by good faith. His
'inhabitancy' of the land is not i'm
peached after his residence was once Sc
cured by his going abroad to procure
means to bring back there to improve it
and obtain title to it. [ must reverse
your decision and direct patent to
issue to the claimant.

told to resume work to-day and stay on
duty until further orders, as it is 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 it 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
TODAY. The boys are wonderfully
worked up and are naturally indignant
that the roads have not lived up to a
fair, honorable agreement. The regu-
lar meeting will be held at the corner of
Sixth and jackson at 80 this after
noon, and tonight a great meeting, con
solidatiOn of the forces as it were, will
meet at the hall Oh DaytOn'S bluff, Sew
enth and Bradley"
MIR, MANVEL'S STATEMENT.
General Manager Marvel, of the
Manitoba, was seen last night and asked
what the company had to say regarding
the trouble. "Under our contract with
the Chicago, Burlington & Northern"
Mr.. Marvel said, "We are required to do
their terminal work, such as switching,
etc. Their men being unfamiliar with
the term of the contract, and surmising,
perhaps. that the company was over
stepping it's 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 $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"

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 | 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 $4,000 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 10per 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
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 l 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 l have been able
to render you has been in suggestion, re-
vision OF yerification."

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 a 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 80" road. This seems to be the
only difficulty existing between the
company and the engineers. The lat
ter, however, say that since they have
quit work they will not commence again
until the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy
the trouble is adjusted by arbitration.

"STRIKE AND BE -"
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 Oh 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 a 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 a 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
old runs, and let the freight department
be settled later. Mr.. Perkins could not

know that there is anything far us to be
ashamed about i'll our having gone to

WILLING AND DESTROYS
to settle the difficulty. That L am sure
is no disgrace to us. Even were we
beaten, L don't think that would be
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, L
want to say something about an inter
view between Chairman HOge and Gen.
eral Manager Stone before L 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.
Mr. 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
ID 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
its agreement to keep its hands of 20"
freight.

Engineers Are Aroused to a
Greater Extent Than at Amy
Time Since the Strike.
The strike in st. Paul is beginning to
look serious. The brotherhood engineers
are worked up to a fever heat, and it
now looks as though the fight would be
brought to focus within few hours
so far as St. Paul is concerned. The
largest and warmest meeting since the
Inauguration of the strike was held last
evening at the brotherhood hall on Day
toms bluff, and it extended long into
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
cars had severally broken their
trusts and had been carrying
on a systematic stealing" as it
was termed, and had continually ham
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
course of action.
"ThiS thing has got to come to TO
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 go one way or another
by tonight. The men on these roads
will either

Iarly ''sore" against the Manitoba and

apolis & Northwestern comes in for

the charges brought against it.

The Reason for a Serious Col
l;siOn on the Erie.

MEADvILLE, Pa, March 1.-THE fast
Erie express, No. IS, and passenger
train No. 0, both running twenty-five
miles an hour, collided on curve near
the city limits at 80 o'clock this after
noon. The engines and baggage and
mail cars on both trains were totally
demolished and several coaches badly
broken. No. 8 was coming in from Frank
lin on time. No. Is, 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 T. 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.
