James w. Forsyth Of the Seventh caval-
ry Ft Riley, Kas. The news of the gen.
era,'s promotion was well received in
Denver. 1t was not altogether a surprise
to his friends, as il was generally be-
lieyed by them that he would be selected
for the place.
Tomorrow at noon there will be placed
on the retired list the commandant of the
New York navy yard, Admiral Bancroft
Gherardi, one OF the few Cd war COM
manders now in the naval service, and
known in naval parlance as the sea Co
ing Admiral" He leaves behind him a
career Of distinction. full of hard fighting
and severe service without a blennish
His total active service amounts TO forty
eight years and five months, and twenty
five years and eight months Of that serv-
ice were spent at sea. Even during the
seven years he has he'd the rank Of rear
admiral in a time when few admirals
make more than one cruise under their
own pennant, he has been at sea about
four and a half years.
Admiral Gherardi was born i'm Louisiana
sixty-two years ago, and was appointed to
the naval service from Massachusetts
June 20, 1916, as a midsAipmln. He be-
came a. passed midshipman in 1852, a mas
ter in 1855 and was a lieutenant on the
Lancaster, attached to the Pacific squad
ron, when the war broke out. The year
1862 saw him a lieutenant commander,
standing his southern birth. From that
time to the end of the war he was in the
thickest of the fighting. He was in the
engagement at FIT. Macon on the Mohican
commanded the Choeura on the west gulf
blockade: the Port Royal on the same
service in the battle of Mobile, and finally
commanded the PequOt on the north At
lantlc blockade at the close of the hostil-
tiles. He was commissioned as a COM
mander in 1866, and captain in 1874, mean
while seeing service i'm commands on the
Pacific and north Atlantic. One particu-
larly gallant action recorded of him is
pursuing in a small tug and securing the
destruction of a confederate ram which
had succeeded in running a blockade on
the Mississippi. Admiral Gherardi became
a commodore in 1884 and an admiral in
1887. Two years later ne took command
of the north Atlantic station. In 1892 he
cru!sed from San Francisco around to
Hampton Roads. bringing our Pacific fleet
TO take part in the great naval review in
1893, which was conducted under his COM
mand. This was his last sea service, for
in May, 1893, he was placed in command
at the New York navy yard, where he
retlres.
As a result OF his retirement Admiral
Greer, at present president of the light
house board, becomes senior admiral of
the navy, Commodore Slcard becomes
commandant at New York, and the fol-
lowing promotions will follow:
Commodore G. c.. Carpenter to be adj
miral, Capt Rush r. Wallace to be COM
modore, Commander w. c. Wise TO be
captain, Lieut.-Commander r. NJ Berry
to be commander, Lieut.. w. H. Everett
to be lieutenant commander, Lieutenant,

TRIED TO "FIX" THE JURY.
Six Hundred TaIesmen Had Been Ex-
amined During the Past Week.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. u.-There have
been further sensational discoveries with
regard to the efforts to Fix" the jury in
the trial of w. S. Richardson and II. N.
Smith, charged with the sextuple lynching
near Millington, and tomorrow Prosecuting
Attorney Patterson will ask the court to
discharge the eleven men that have been
secured after a weeks laborious examina-
ton of 600 talesmen
The attorney general will present to the
court an affidavit to the effect that nearly
all these 600 persons summoned for jury
service have been selected from among
the known friends of the accused, and
one juryman, It will be shown by affi-
davit asserted that he would not convict
a white man for killing negro. The at
torney-general will also move the court
to relieve Sheriff McCarver from duty
during the progress of this case. This Is
because Of the manner I'm which the sheriff
has summoned the jury men and the man
ner In which he has treated the prisoners.
The attorney has learned that since the
Incarceration both Smith and Richardson
have been taken surreptitiously by the
sheriff TO the Kerrville neighborhood on
more than one occasion.
Butch McCarver, son of the sheriff, is
prosecuting witness in the case and has
constantly been in communication with
the accused, who, when in Jail. have been
allowed extraordinary liberties.

ADMIRAL GHERARDI RETIRED.
Secretary of the Navy Herbert Writes
n Very Impressive Letter.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. u.-Secre-
tary Herbert sent the following letter
to Admiral Gherardi today:
NAVY DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10, 1894.
''Sir-It Is with regret that the depart
ment issued the order made necessary
under the law retiring you from active
service in the navy. Your gallant serv-
ices when in command of the Port Royal
at Mobile attracted the commentator of
your superior, and the admiration of the
whole country; and in peace, you have
performed whatever duties were imposed
upon you with fidelity and ability. Your
twenty-five years service at sea have
caused you to be known as a 'sea-gOing'
sailor. and your four years and more as
an admiral in command of a squadron is
without precedent in the navy. In COM
mand of the international naval review
fleet you had under your control ships
representing more nations than were ever
actually commanded by any admiral in
the world. and the manner in which you
discharged the duties devolying upon you
called forth the praise of the commanding
officers of every vessel in the fleet. The
loving cup presented by them all as a
joint testimonial of their esteem was
tribute, the value of which cannot be over
estimated
During my long acquaintance with
you. covering a period of years, our inter-
course has been pleasant and agreeable,
and now, as our business relations are
about to be severed by your retirement
beg to express my appreciation of your
valuable services, which have deserved
the gratitude of your country, and add
thereto an expression OF my high personal
regard. Very respectfully.
III. A. HERBERT,
Secretary of the Navy"

WASHINGTON. ID. g. Nov. IL.
Gossip about the elections Of last week
Is now beginning to turn in the direction
OF the presidential prospects for 1896 and
even the most astute politician of the re-
publican party can hardly figure out how
that aggregation Is going to get over the
shoals and keep itself intact for the fray.

as to what they shall do with the tariff
question. They cannot remain inactive
Notwithstanding the fact that they know
President Cleveland would stand I'M
swervlngly against any addition to the
tariff burdens OF the American people:
for inactivity would mean practical in
dorsenent OF the tariff measure OF the
democrats and such an Endorsement
would make their defeat more sweepfne
than their present victory.

NEW YORK, Nov. lin a letter to
the Press from Washington, the Hon.
William L. Wilson OK West Virginia,
chairman Of the committee on ways and
means, gives his views of the causes of
democratic defeat in. the recent election.
After declaring that it is neither q dis
Greet nor a digDifed thing for member
of a defeated party to attempt to ex-
plain his own or his party's defeat, he
says:
'Nonetheless, however. it Is the duty of
the democratic party, after such reverse
to make deliberate, honest and unspar-
ing scrutiny into the cause and forces
which wrought its overthrow and into the
condition upon which it may regain its
ascendency with the American people
Undoubtedly there were individual
candidates. and factional fights that con-
tributed to and emphasized the general
result, but it must be admitted that there
were strong forces everywhere operative
that really shaped and brought about th3t
result. And the greatest Of all these
forces was the severe industrial depres-
sion that for a year or more past has
hardened the lot and made anxious the
lives of a large section Of our people.
Hard times is an enemy before which no
political party in America has ever been
able to make a successful stand in power.
This is, and perhaps always will ne,
weak point in popular government. When
labor Is out of employment when farm
products are low, when cur financial sys-
tenn is disorganized, the wisest admins
tration of government and the most whole
some laws do not avail to save a party
from temporary and disastrous overthrow.
Moreover the whole teaching Of the pro
tective system trains men to depend, not
on individual effort. the plain virtues of
industry, thrift and temperance, for bust
ness prosperity and material comfort,
but on government aid and laws Of con-
gress. Let me add. also, that we, together
with all our progressive nations are now
passing through an era Of change, OF I'M

The Depression Existing Under the
Mckinley Bill Is Disappearing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Stats
teal bureau Of the department of state
has published a set Of advance sheets Of
consular reports embodying reports from
United States consuls upon the operations
Of the new tariff act, so far as they have
been manifested. There are reports from
Bradford, the great English wool center;
from Sheffield, the cutlery center; from
northern Mexico, whence hides and live
stock come; from Marseilles. the great
exporting city of French finery; from
Glasgow and from Colombia, the latter
particularly interesting as showing the
failure of our retaliatory policy.
All of the reports depict the great de-
preston existing at these foreign ports
under the Mckinley law and the stimula-
ton of trade consequent upon the passage
of the new tariff act.
