WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. H.-The presi-

message to congress:
The death of william Sherman, which took
place today at his residence in New York, is
an event that will bring sorrow to
the heart of every citizen No Ameri-
can was ever so loved as be. To look

FORsYTHE TO SUCCEED GIBBON.
The Butcher Of wounded Knee Selected
for Promotion.

for Promotion.
SAN Francisco, Feb. IA Washington
special says Colonel Forsythe's appoint
ment to the next brigadier general
ship in the army, which occurs
by the retirement Of Brigadier-
General Gibbon two months hence,
is now practically assured. 1t has been
feared by his friends that this suspension
from his command by General Miles might
be injurious to his candidacy for this i'm
portant army plume, but they now
regard Secretary Proctor's simply
complimentary endorsements of his
action in the Wounded Knee affair as
equivalent to promise for further reward
in the shape Of promotion. Certain it is
that both the president and the secretary
of war have the highest personal regard
for him, and as the next brigadier-general-
ship properly belongs to the cavalry, there
seems no reason to doubt that he will be
the favored one.
ST. Louis, Feb. 14.-A special from San
Antonio says: Captain Harry Vessels,
Company H. Third cavalry, is to be court
martialed under orders from the secretary
of wat. He accused his superior officer,
General Stanley, of drunkenness and in
competency because the latter refused him
furlough when ordered to be in readiness
to 60 to the Sioux country.

Sachs Won't Quit the Deal While There

PoRr TOWNSEND, Feb. H.-fSpecial. +
Judge Sachs will not resign. He says he
will fight it out, even if all his friends
should advise him to give up the Office.
"You may say for me-" he said today to the
correspondent OF the Observation-Disclosures,
shat do not consider have been guilty Of any
offense that is smpeachable. Ny side of the
tho matter 20 comes to trial. thss shess
charges were inspired by malice. and that ii was
nothing but personal spite-work and persecu-

ent during the examination OF oil the
witnesses, and have an opportunity to present
proper tribunal will have more to say.
As to the assertion that public sentiment
y largely against me here, ] do not
think that Is true, because majority OF the
business men OF the city signed the remon-
STRANGE against these proceedings"
Judge Sachs will hold the regular session
of the court for Ciallam county at Port
Angeles, beginning on Monday.
Attorney w. +. Hayes, one Of the coun-
sci for Judge Sachs, returned today from
Olympia, where he has been looking out
for the judges interest for several days.
Hayes is somewhat Disguised with the turn
affairs have taken, and does not conceal
his feelings. In talking today in the
presence Of several persons he made some
assertions, which if true, ought to create q
miniature senatorial sensation.
SIN the first place this is huge conspiracy to
ruin Judge Sachs and crush some OF his friends"
said Mr.. Hayes. II was reliably informed
at Olympia that when Mr.. Plummer
withdrew from the spcakership contest
he had an understanding with Mr..
shaw that the latter would appoint committee
that would report for Sachs Impeachment when
the case came up. Every member OF the com
mittee told me last Wednesday that
there was not sufficient evidence to
impeach Judge Sachs. Now how do they
reconcile their report with what they
told me? ] tell you, that report was biased, aud
the committee has undertaken more than It can
accomplish. Judge Sachs will never be i'm
peached, and by cd, sir ii was being bounded
a. he 10, would follow my prosecutors behind
the prison walls!'
The case continues to be talked about a
great deal. City Attorney johnson and
r. A. Ballinger returned from Olympia
yesterday, and are well pleased with the
outlook for the, removal of Judge Sachs.
They will return Monday. Judge Sachs
will not go to the capital until he is sum-
moned by the legislature, but his attorneys
will be on hand Monday afternoon.
