SOUVENIR FOR WEST POINT
Cadet Life of General Grant to Be
Presented to Academy.

New York, Sept. 29.-Col. Mills, the
Superintendent of the Military academy
at West Point, has accepted an offer
from B. F. Stevens, the United States
dispatch agent at London to present a
most interesting souvenir of General
Grants cadet life to the library of that
institution. When the famous class of
1S43 was at West Point, it was furnished
by John De Witt with supplies which
were not considered satisfactory. There
was a revolt against the sutler and the
members of the class united in a declar
alton of independence, agreeing to pur-
chase nothing from him after date ex
cept what had been previously ordered.
This declaration was signed by u. S.
Grant, George B. McClelland, Rufus In
gals, J. Jones Reynolds, W. x. Van
Bokkelen, George Stevens and other
members of the class. The original doc
ument with the signatures in water COL
ors will be handed over to Superintend~
ent Mills for preservation at West Point,
not as an object lesson in discipline, but
for its historic and personal interest.

OFFERED TO HUNTINGTON.
Gossip Concerning Presidency of
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The Examiner
today says:
The latest gossip in Southern Pacific
circles is that James S. Speyer, Charles
H. Tweed and D. o. Mills as special
committee of the directorate, have offer
ed H e. Huntington the presidency of
the company, but that he has declined it
on the ground that his duties as first
the work of looking after the large for
tune left him by his uncle, will more
than occupy his time.
The officials who are indulging in talk
of this character assert that N. E.
Huntington does not want an outsider
as president. His particular candidate
for the place is Third Vice President j..
c. Stubbs. He also wants, it is said, Ed
win Hawley of New York to succeed G..
P. Huntington as president of the Pa

administration.
A feature Of the demonstration was

I'm sense this is peculiarly a state con-
test in Kentucky, but no contest for the

there the nation comes in with its rights.
