GRANT DID NOT BIDE.
Dom Piatt's Account Of the General
at Fort DoneIson Denied.

at Fort DOneISOn Denied.
Letter in New York Advertiser
Thomas by Dom Piatt observed that the
authQr >revives the story that General
Grant at Fort Donelscn was hidden away
ranging for a retreat OF lis army when
General Smith forced Buckner to ask for
terms. The writer claims that it was Smith
who demanded unconditional surrender,
which phrase Grant merely appropriated.
In support of the truth I would like to
make a short extract from book entitled
War Pictures from the south" by b.
EStivan, colonel of cavalry in the Confed-
crate army, and published by Appleton in
Speaking of the sortie to be made from
Fort Donelson. he writes: But they had

ne nlrnSelr led his men against our
right flank and drove us back from one
position to another.
Never since the battle of Rich Mountain
and Manassas had the federal troops dis
played greater steadiness than they did on
this occasion. Here was another proof how
a popular general can influence the conduct
of his troops. The struggle was a hand to
hand one. The bayonet, the bowie knife
and the butt end of the musket were the
only weapons used. No quarter asked;
none given. General Grant at once
accepted the armistice proposed by Buck
ner. The surrender of the fort was
to take place that day before o'clock.
If not completed at that time the bonn
bardment will Immediately recommence
and the fort be RACED to the ground
These words, spoken in a decisive tone
OF voice did not fail to have due effect
upon the confederate officers. While they
were the point of leaving, General
Grant inquired how it came that General
Buckner charged with settling the ca

to him On being informed in reply that
they both had escaped with considerable
portion of their troops during the night he
fairly staggered at the unwecome
intelligence and for the moment was COM

he struck the table furiously with his
clinched fist Floyd escaped-the very bird
I wished to catch!
Finding that his coveted prey was lost
General Grant turned sulkily away and or
dered the chief Of the staff to settle the
terms of the capitulation with General
Buckner speedily as possible"

Two Kinds OF Women.

women to diSclafm congeniality with their
own sex IL thing which makes thinking
man stare in stupid wonderment. A great
many women, have noticed, grasp for re-
nected strength by avowing a decided pref
erence for the society, occupations and
amusementS OF men. Such women will tell
you foTcibly that they are not a man s
woman-olly one of the boys. There is an
other type OF woman whom we all know,
and she makes virtuous showing of being
essentially woman's woman. Mrs. Frank
Leslie, for instance, says she Is devotedly
attached to woman and intensely interested
In the advancement and general develop
ment OF her sex, but just the same she pre-
fers men on her office staff, and apologies
for this seeming inconsistency by saying
that women are not to be relied upon in
emergencies or for sustained work, and
that they are wholly creatures OF moods.
On the whole, Mrs Leslie is right. But so
many exceptions TO the general rule are
brought before our eyes every day in the
week, and all day long, that her assertions
are much TOO sweeping to be accepted with
out reservations. Woman calmly submits
to opinions yoke, while man rises UP in
open rebellion against it. There is the diff
ference. and / fear il will always be il

Seeking a Conference.

Passenger Traffic Manager White, of the

Passenger Association committee, appoint
ed to confer with the Union Pacific rela-
tive to the question Of emigrant business,
has asked General Passenger Agent Lo-
max. of the Union Pacific, for conference
between the committee. the Union Pacific
railroad and dr. Lomax, to be held at
Omaha on. Friday or Saturday of this
week. Some of the association lines are
fearful that IA return to old methods of
hustling for business Will tend to democrat
lie rates, and result in a heavy loss of
revenue. The Atchison road has declared
that it will withdraw from the Western
Passenger Association If the Union Pacific
interferes with existing rates west of the
Missouri river, but that ii will remain in
membership until that condition prevails
1t will not withdraw simply because the
Union Pacific has gone out.

Supreme Court Decision.

A decision of Importance to the railroads
in the far West was rendered yesterday by
the United States Supreme Court in favor
of the contention Of the railroads The
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company
was sued by the United States for the
value of timber. stone and other material
taken from the public domain and used IN
the construction Of its road in sections
remote from the vicinity from which the
material was taken. Under the act of 1915.
granting railroads right of way over the
public domain, they were given the priv
ilege of using materials on the public do
main, but IL was contended by the United
States that this privilege was limited so
that the material could be used only on the
part of the road adjacent TO the place from
which it was taken. Justice Jackson,
speaking for the court, said that this was
too narrow a construction of the law and
that there was no limitation as to the part
Of the road on which material might be

The Atmospheric Manipulation Casts
a Damper Over the Spirits of
the Entire Population.

With mingled feelings OF anger and dis
gust an unbroken line of men, women and
children mounted to the tenth floor OF the
Mills building yesterday to tell the local
weather sharp what mean Individual he
was. Having discharged this plain duty
they tried to BULLDOGS the man at the at.
mospheric helm into steering this locality
into Thanksgiving weather, for period
of twenty-four hours at least.
Threats. cOaxing and brides were all un-
avaiing. The foreman of the weather fac
tory has determined to spoil the general
holiday by having unpleasant weather,
and no influence will avail to turn him
from his sinister purpose. He has auto
cratically decreed that the general rejoic-
ings will be made under dripping skies and
over muddy streets. The convenience Of
the public is not considered in his imper-
ious ruling.

breath.
After leaving the atmospheric engine
room the dissatisfied sports held meeting,
which was largely attended. A singular
unanimity of opinion prevailed. Weather
maker Pague was denounced in extended
resolutions. Then a subscription list was
opened, with good financial results, to
create fund by which the Webfoot
scientist could be sent TO an institution
and receive the keely cure for the rain

no measure short of this would secure to
San Francisco habitable weather while
Pague remains in this city changing a
semi-tropical climate into bowling deluge.
With rain-sOaked clothes, wet boots,
cross and dispirite1, citizens hGrried
along Montgomery street yesterday. only
pausing long enough to shake their fists
toward the roof of ten-story structure
and muttering imprecatiOns against the
