M'cLELLAN,s FATAL MISTAKE,
Disregarded n subordinate's Warning and
Lost Great Opportunity.


Lost a Great Opportunity.
MILroN, Pa, Jan. 16. - A batch OF
manuscript belonging to the late Gen. j.
Irwin Gregg, for many years a citizen OF
Lewisburg, Pa, has just been found. 1t
includes a copy of a report Of Gen. Gregg
TO Gen. Mcclellan when the latter com
mauded the Army Of the Potomac.
Gen. Gregg, who at the Uime was a
colonel commanding regiment, was de-
tailed as commander of McClellan's out
posts and while occupying that position
he discovered that Gen. Johnston Of the
Southern Army was moving on McClel-
lan's flank. He reported the movement
to Mcclellan at once, but the Union COM
mander could not be convinced Of the ac
curacy of Gregg's report, and therefore
did not take the preoaution that he should
have taken.
Three days after Gregg submitted his
report Mcclellan found out that his
subordinate officer was correct. Johnston
suddenly attacked the Union forces on
their flank and Mcclellan was forced to
retreat Then the fighting on the Penin-
sula ensued, the SouLherns followed our
army to the James River, where the hard
fought battle of Malvern Hill followed
Mcclellan was relieved and Pope who
was placed in command, met Johnston at
Bull Run and was fearfully routed.
1t is contended that had Gen. McClel-
Ian taken the advice Of Gregg, when the
latter first reported Johnston's contem-
plated move on the flank of the Union
forces, Richmond could have been taken
and the backbone of the rebellion broken.

SUFFERING Ar HOMESTEAD.
Nearly 500 Persons Starving on Account
of the Continued Cold.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 10. The continued
sold weather has increased the suffering
at Homestead, and it is stated that nearly
300 people are on the verge of starvation.
Contributions are still coming in, but the
aggregate amount is so small tnat it will
not procure the bare necessaries
In the mill there is much dissatisfac-
tion over the wages,
Saturday was the first pay day under
the new scale, and many of the workmen
claim that their envelopes did not con
tain more than half the amount received
for the same period before the strike.
A number of the men stated to-day
that they would quit or strike as soon as
there is warmer weather.
The officials deny that there is dissatis-
faction, and claim that if the wages are
smaller it is the fault Of the men, who are
not working as hard as formerly.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

| WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 81, 1888.
If Mr.. Cleveland had ever been a
member of the senate he would
have avoided at least one of the
more or less humiliating defeats
that he will receive at the hands of
congress, for then he would have
known that all Of the older Senators,
regardless of politics, stand to-
gether in favor Of one Of the oldest
rules Of the senate-the free and
unlimited debate of all measures
and he would not have made the
m istake of asking Senators of his
party to vote for the adoption of a
cloture rule in the senate, request
never made by any other President,
and which has served to widen the
breach already existing between Mr..
Cleveland aud a number of the
Democratic Senators. No President
ever more earnestly desired the
adoption Of some particular bit of
legislation than Gen. Harrison did
when the Federal Election bill, hav-
ing been passed by the house, was
before the senate; but having

The Extra Session.

It's an extraordinary thing TO call
an extra session of Congress. Such
session was called by the Republi-
cans July 4, 1861, the occasion of
which was a rebellion against the
government. 1t was gigantic
struggle, but was conducted with
great yigor and to ultimate success;
and without an extra session of
Congress. The wonderful difficulties
attending the reconstruction process
and such laws as became a necessity
at the close of the war, when the
country passed from a hostile attl-
tude to that of peace, as we'll as the
financial depression Of '73, required
no extra session of Congress. Re.
publicans conducted the government
then; and were the management of
the country's affairs in their hands
to-day only the widest kind of an
Imagination could believe an extra
session would have been necessary.
The Democratic party administers
the affairs of the government now,
and behold distrust reigns su.
preme An unprejudiced mind will
not have TO search long for solution
of this condition of affairs. The
policy of the government which,
for a third of a century had given
the country success and prosperity,
has been declared unconstitutional,
and a change is pre- missed and
pledged, and that, too, by party
whose past management Of the
nations finances has never been any
thing like brilliant success. The
balance of trade being against us
augments the general financial dis
quietude, and, actuated by sober
second thought, the people are tax.
ing these things into consideration,
aud are already entertaining doubts
Of the promised policy Of the party
in power--a policy which will nat
urally increase importations, and
consequently the trade balance
against us. A continual drain Of
our nations gold must follow to pay
this balance, whether the Sherman
law is repealed or not.
The present financial outlook is
accompanied with great uncertainty,
for the adoption of a policy which
would tend to increase domestic pro-
d uctions and lessen importations
would be a departure from Demo
cratic traditions.
