dow General sherman Once Obtained the
Privilege of the Senate Floor.
In 1850, General Sherman, then Lieu
tenant Sherman, was in Washington for
a short time, and learning that Webster
was to make a speech in the Senate,
was extremely anxious to hear him.
On fastening to the Capitol. however,
he found the galleries crowded, and
seemed likely to lose the only oppor-
tunity he would ever have of listening
to the famous orator. Finally he sent
in has card to Senator Corwin, whom he
had met on several occasions. and said
to him when he appeared:
Mr. Corwin. l am very anxious to
hear Mr.. Webster speak to-day

doubt of it, if he would tell me one of

my arm, and led me,a turn in the vesti-

gesticulated with his right.

TROUBLE EXPECTED AGAIN TO-DAY.
Rioters Are well Armed and More Reckless
Than Ever-A Serious Outlook.
ESPECIAL TO THE WORLD

IsPEcIAL TO THE WORLD
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-The Press special
from Shenandoah says yesterday was q
breathing spell in the conflict between mob
rule and law in Shenandoah. Both sides nave
taken advantage of it to grid their loins for q
great struggle to-day, Among the rioters
the spirit of lawlessness is more reckless than
ever. They know that they have twice had
Shenandoah at their mercy, anu a considera-
BILE element of them do not propose to let the
town escape scot-free q third time. During
the riots of Friday and Saturday there was
little talk of plumber, but there are we'll
founded reports that it is proposed by the
leading rioters to loot the town if the mob
again gets control of it tonight.
The serious outlook for to-day has stirred
the authorities into action. Capt. Christian,
of the Coal and Iron Police, has telegraped all
men under his command at the Indian Ridge
Colliery, just east Of the town. Sheriff
Duffy has been stung by the general criti-
cism of his utter failure to act Saturday
(when he actually went ava from Shenan-
doah with the full knowledge that a riot was
about to occur into organizing q force OF
deputies. Besides those whom he has sworn
in ut Shenandoah, a force of twenty-i will
come to his aid from Pottsyille.
The Poles have bought all the pistols they
could find in Shenandoah, no effort being
made by the local authorities to prevent their
sale. The Coal and Iron Police are all armed
with Winchester repeating rifles of heavy
bore. The next time they fire on the mob il
will not be over their heads. There has been
some apprehension that the mob would march
out of the town to attack the quarters of the
Coal and Iron Police at Indian Ridge, but all
fear of hat has passed. Bloodshed is not
now expected until this afternoon, when the
rioters have planned to attack the men who
return from work at the Suffolk and the
William Penn collieries. The rioters nave
thoroughly terrified the respectable portion
nf 1la iphalitantu nf Shananlnoh and the
holders of local offices do not dare, for politi-
cal reasons, to exercise their authority openly
against them. The Chief Burgess is candidate
for reelection. The Reading rioters are APP
parently Poles, but there can be no doubt
that they are urged on and have the active
support of many hundred strikers who are
citizens. John W.. Morgan, James o. Heern
and NJ. Lawler, a committee representing
some of the leading citizens, walked ort to
Indian Ridge yesterday afternoon and assured
Capt. Christian that they would act in accord
with him and that they were already o~rganix-
ing for the protection of life and property.
