The Aorning Journal was yesterday sold - the

the sale was maize to te Journal reporter last
evening. and IN : few minutes taey walked out
of the once. for reasons given Ia the following
statement signed By them and left ct this once
last night:
TO THE EDfroR: We, the undersigned en-
ployes OF the Morning Journal, wish 80 make the
following statement regarding the non-issue OF
the paper this morning:
Some two weeks ago rumors were extensively
circulated that the paper was sold, or about to
be sold. to the 5eattle telegraph, and that - .
consequence all employees would be without po-
ntions.
A several Of the undersigned had had oppor-
tunities. and at that time wee considering
proportions for employment on other nows-
papers, II was decided to ask the company re-
garding the truth or falsity of these rumors
Mr.. 9. p. Butler the managing editor of the
Journal, volunteered TO make the inquiry, and
was accordingly delegated to do 20. After .
conference with John Leary, he returned and
reported that Mr.. Leary had informed him that
the paper was not n be sold; that there was NOT
1t that time any negotiations pending for il
sale, and that in the event Of the paper ever be-
ing sold e some future time, every employe
would be given one weeks notice that his serv-
ices would be no longer required.
Acting on this assurance the undersigned re-
manned In the employ OF the Journal. and by 30
doing lost opportunities which had heretofore
been presented. Last evening the business
manager notified the entire force that Satur-
days paper would be the last issue, - the Seat
tie Telegraph had purchased the entire outfit
The question was then asked regarding the
weeks notice, which had been promised, and
all that the company would then do was TO pay
each employe up to Sunday evening Az this
was contrary TO what had been promised, and
was palpable injustice to every man receiving
such notice, the entire force refused TO work
under any such proposition, aud when de-
cided refusal to accsde to the promises given
was made, the force discontinued work.

old. Before the wa he was a surveyor end
held some colonial office He was a colonel
in the army of Gen. Thomas in the expedi-
ton TO Canada in 171j-T6, and won a briga-
dier's commission. He next served with
Washington at Braldywine and German
town, IN, and at Monmouth, 177S At the
Brandywine he was charged with the de-
Tense of Chodd's Ford, which he accom-
plished. At Germantown he fought well
and drove the enemy, and at Monmouth
distinguished himself in brilliant manoeu-
vers. After Stony Point he went south
with the Pennsylvania troops, was with
Lafayette in Virginia, and later conducted
the war in Georgia. After the war he served
in councils, and in 1892 succeeded Gen. st.
Clair in the war against western Indians.
His victory over the powerful Miamis and
the treaty following added 10 his fame.
he died in 1898, and his remains lie in Della
ware county, where monument has been
erected by the Society of the Cincinnati.
His general reputation as a soldier was
summed up in the phrase: Where Wayne
is, there is fighting always. That is his
business"
Among the good words brou ght out by
the Stony Point victory were these. Gen
Charles Lee, by no means a Wayne paTti-
san, wrote: 81 do most seriously declare
that your assault of Stony Point is not
only the most brilliant, in my opinion,
throughout the whole course of the war
on either side, but that it is the most brill
liant am acquainted with in history. The
assault of Schweidnitz by Marshal Landon
think inferior TO it"
The celebrated DR.. Rush wrote from
Philadelphia: Our streets rang for many
days with nothing but the name of Gen
Wayne You are remembered constantly,
next to our good and great Washington,
over our claret and Madeira. You have
established the national character of our
country; you have taught our enemies that
bravery, humanity and magnanimity are
the native virtues of the Americans. OF
Waynes marshals in this assault, De
Fleury was a French nobleman and a
trained military engineer. For gallantry
at the Brandywine congress gave him a
horse. The medal presented him for Stony
Point bore the inscription, The American
republic has bestowed this medaD on Col.
D. de Fleury, native of France, the first
over the walls" Maj. Stewart was killed
during the war at Charleston, S. c., by
fall from his horse. Lieut.. James Gibbon,
who led one forlorn hope, served through
the war and became a major.
Even the negro who played such an i'm
portant part came in for a reward He
was slave belonging TO a Captain Lamb,
and his master presented him horse and
exempted him from all labor a. a reward
for his services 10 Wayne in that doubly
daring expedition against the fortress Of
Stony Point. GEORGE L KILMER
