Sheridan Kept Cool,

In the winter OF 1876 l went to New
orleans as chairman of a committee
OF the house of representatives to in
Festlgate and ascertain which of the
rival state governments had the true
title. Louisiana was in a terrible con.
dition. Sheridan was in command of
the United States troops there. and it
was only their presence that prevented
an armed and bloody revolution. The
old rebel element, as it was, had COM
united crimes against the freedmen
ana the white republicans which make
one of the foulest and bloodiest chap
tiers in all history. Sheridan had much
offended the white people there by his
vigorous enforcement of the laws, and
especially in a letter in which he had
spoken OF them as banditti. / stopped
during my stay at the st. Charles ho-
tel, where Sheridan was also a guest,
When he came into the crowded break
fast room every morning there were
loud Kisses and groans from nearly the
whole of the assembled company. The
morning papers teemed with abusive
articles. The guests would take those
papers. underscore some specially saw
age attack, and tell the waiter to take
it to General Sheridan as he sat at ia
Bile at his breakfast. The general
would glance at it with an unrufIied
face, and bow and smile toward the
sender of the article. The whole thing
made little impression upon him.-From

A CRISIS REACHED.
Retaliatory Act of the Dingley Bill Will
BE Enforced.

Washington. April IA crisis, it is
| said, has about been reached in the
| controversy between the American
| owners of Canadian timber in the
province of Ontario, and the parlia-
ment of that province. which recently
passed an act prohibiting the expor-
tation of all logs. The Ontario officials
have so construed this act as to APP
ply 1t to all timber purchased and paid
for by Americans prior to the passage
of the act. The retroactive effect of
this legislation, if maintained it is
said, will be to render worthless large
holdings of Canadian stumpage pur-
chased by Americans from the crown
lands department of Ontario and also
to prevent the operation of extensive
saw mills erected on the American side
which have no other source of supply
than the Canadian timber referred to-
When these conditions became known
to the American timber owners they
memorialized the government of the
United States to make reclamation from
Great Britain, as the United States had
no diplomatic relations with the Do
minion of Canada. The matter was re-
ferred to the joint high commission but
that body having taken no action,
committee of timber owners, headed by
Ex-Governor Rich of Michigan, came to
Washington a few days before the COM
mission dissolved and asked the secre-
tary OF the treasury to impose the re-
taliatory clause of the Dingley act.
1t is stated that conclusion has been
practically reached by Secretary Gage
to apply the retaliatory clause of the
Dingley act for them in default of an
assurance from the Canadian govern
ment that the provincial act referred to
shall not be construed ito prevent the
expectation of logs purchased and paid
for by Americans prior to the passage
of the act. Whether this retaliation
would go to the extent of prohibiting
altogether the importation of Canadian
lumber, or whether a duty would be
imposed which would be prohbitory in
its effect, has not yet been determined
