His Officers Knew Ii When He Put ON
a Clean Collar One Day.
McC1ura's Macazina

On the march and In the camp Sher-
mans life was simplicity itself. He had
few brilliantly uniformed ard useless aids
about him.. The simple tent fly was his
usual headquarters, and under II all his
military family ate together. His dispatches
were wrote mostly with his own hand. He
had little use for clerks. But Dayton, his
Acknowledgement, was better than a regi-
ment of clerks. When we halted some-
where in the woods for the night the Gen.
eral was the busiest man in the army.
While others slept his little campfire was
burning, and often In the long vigils OF the
night 1 have seen a tall form walking up
and down by that fire. Sherman
himself slept but little. He did not seem
to need sleep. and / have known him to
stay but two hours in bed many a night.
In later years a slight asthma made much
sleep impossible for him.. After the war.
when 1 was at his home in St. Louis, he
seldom retired until u or 1 o'ciock. 1t was
often as late, too, on this march.
1t was a singularly impressive sight 70
see this solitary figure walking there by the
pickering campfire while the army slept.
II a gun went off somewhere in the dis
lance, or II ar unusual noise were heard,
he would instantly call one OF us TO go
and find out what Ii meant. He paid small
attention TO appearances; to dress almost
none.
There is going to be a battle to-day,
sure" said Colonel Audenreid. OF the staff,
one morning before daylight.
How do you known" asked a comrade.
why. don't you see? The Generals up
there by the fire putting on a clean coli

A battle did take place that day, and
Cheraw, with forty cannon, fell into our
hands. 1t was more a run than a battle.

TALK WITH WHITNEY.
HIS Views on the Campaign I'm the
Empire state.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2~3.-Ex-Secretary of
the Navy Whitney was in the city to-day.
In an interview regarding the political sit
uation in New York, he said: 81 have not,
as you know. taken any active part IN pol
itics for the last two years. AS to the con-
dition OF political affairs in New York, I
have been absent from the State for two
weeks and am probably not well informed
with the latest developments there. So far
as Senator Hills campaign for the govern
orship Is concerned. there can be no doubt
that he will make a most brilliant and ener-
getic contest He was nominated at the
Saratoga convention through no action OF
his own, as i have every reason 10 know,
and. in fact, was nominated In spite of Ii.
He is, however, a magnificent leader and
will make the campaign one of the most
notable OF the many campaigns he has
conducted for the Democratic party in New
York. This Is, Of course, an off year for
party paT ye in poxer. pI The second Year M'e Of every
administration Is always a dangerous one
S 70 the as snnnisr Hi1 will In bri splte to G bear rh aii
the enthusiasm and all the wonderful pow
ers Of organization of which he is so well

party in New York city, who, In spite OF

dorse Senator HIP
AS W Nudl the ItclucHl vi IA illCill-
bers Of his official family may do i have no
means of knowing. Secretary Carlisle is, i
understand. to speak in the campaign"
what is your opinion as to the PROPOSE
ton the Republicans are making in this
campaign that the causes of the recent
financial disturbances were due to the ac-
cession OF the Democratic party in power?'
1T would seem to any one who has had
an opportunity to study and observe the
widespread business contraction not only
throughout the United States, but almost
every country OF Europe, that some more
general cause than the tariff must be sought
Cor so general a result. This contraction of
business was manifest Ions before
either Mr.. Cleveland or President
Harrison were nominated in 1892.
It began, in fact, with the Barring
failure in London and was manifest abroad
long before it reached America"
What do you think of the prospects for
the future OF business?"
Business is certainly improving and has
been for some time past. What is of great
er Importance, however, is the fact that
the business Of the future is destined to be
founded On a much surer basis than ever
before"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Prince Canta-

Associated Press to deny as a canard a sem
sational publication in a Washington morn
ing paper to-day to the effect that the Rus
sian Council of State has been convened for
the first time since the assassination of
Alexander III in 1881. 1.-THE report should be
fatty denied" said the Minister, who re-
grets that the critical illness of the Rus
sian Emperor should be used for the in
vention Of such imaginative fictions. Prince
Cantacuze pointed out that the report is
manifestly untrue in the statement that an
embassy at Washington has received such
information. and absurd in the details which
are to follow the assembly of a congress

nicatlon with the ambassadors here, only
two of whom are now in the city, and he is
satisfied the report did not come from them.

grinding of bricks and mortar and seeing in
some cases the walls crack. A heavy sound
was heard in all parts of the city inn

One of P~ittsburg's Discretionary
Pools Forced to Close.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 3.-The run on the
discretionary pools continued to-day. Two
or three are paying those investors who
refuse to be persuaded that the institu-
tons are solid, but the others are relying
upon the thirty-day notice to give them
time to settle or leave town. The office
furniture Of the Public Stock and Grain
Exchange was levied upon this morning at
the suit of Mrs. Tillman. of Altoona, who
invested 500 in the concern.
George NJ. Irwin & Co., who have been
in the discretionary pool business for two
years and are supposed to have over $780,
900 on deposit. suspended payment at noon
and demanded five days notice of with
drawal. Manager Irwin said this action
ton. He declared that every investor will
be paid in full. The concern had been
standing a steady run of frightened de-
positors since early -.onday morning, but
to-day the rush increased to SUCH an ex-
tent that it took two officers to keep the
crowd in order. a local broker says that
Irwin is carrying about 100000 bushels of
grain and has considerable money invested
in stocks.
The scenes to-day at the City Hall were
a repetition of those of yesterday. During
the entire day people focked TO police head
quarters to ask the advice of Superintend-

their best mode of procedure in order to Sc
