THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Mckinley Has . Chance to show IL
He Has q Backbone.

1t is intimated from Washington
that President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay will try to negotiate new canal
treaty with England. OF course there
is no harm in their trying. The coun-
try is really not much interested in
their efforts, feeling quite capable Of
constructing its canal without Eng
lands permission. 1t certainly has no
intention either Of binding itself not to
defend its own canal or of giving away
any American territory to induce any
European country to withdraw OBJ
structive objections to the enterprise.
President Mckinley has an excellent
opportunity now to show whether he
has been developing perceptible back
bone. If our position is wrong, it
ought to be abandoned. If 1t is right,
as we believe 1t Is. 1t ought to be main
tained. When question Of American
rights is involved, there Is no reason
why Mr.. Mckinley should stand any
more in awe of King Edward VII than
Of Aguinaldo.
A London correspondent tells us that
there is mo note Of triumph In the ar
ticles which have appeared in the Eng
lish press on the rejection of the senate
amendments to the canal treaty." We
should think not. A country which
possesses the greatest maritime com.
merce in the world and which sees its
rulers throw away chance to secure
a guarantee of a free field for that
commerce in a mighty interoceanic
waterway built at the expense of an
other nation has no particular reason
for feeling triumphant. Our power of
levying discriminating tolls Is a ire
mendous weapon. The time may come
when England will be willing to bid
high for an agreement on our part not
to use it.-New York Journal.

DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY.
Timothy Webster, the Famous Union Spy
Buried at Olarga.
Eastern Illinois Register, Paxton, HI

eastern Illinois Register, Paxton, Ill)
No doubt many of our readers have
read Allen Pinkertons famous story,
THE Spy of the Rebellion" which was
published in installmcnts in The Ma
tional Tribune, of Washington, ID. c.,
and in which the bravery and heroism of
Timothy Webster is related.
Although the work has become famous
as one of the great war narratives, very
few persons were aware. until recently
that the remains of this brave man lie
buried in the little cemetery at Onarga, is
miles north Of this city, On the little
weatherbcaten headStOne above his grave
are the words: Timothy Webster died
for my country"
The Onarga Leader Review, in speak
ing of the matter, has the following:
Timothy Webster was the great Pin
kerton detective, a member of Uncle
Sans Secret Corps, and his service to. his
country is written in detail in one of Pin
kerton's works, called THE Spy of the
Rebellion His fearless manner of going
into the very heart of the enemy's camp,
even into the tents OF Generals and com
manding officers, learning their plans, their
strength and their weakness, sometimes
as peddler, then again as an agent for
some industry, always at home in his dis
guises, proved him a great man in his
profession. The information obtained by
him saved hundreds of lives and thou
sands of dollars and more than one bat
tie was won because of his work. After
about three years of the most imminent
danger, and also of the utmost value to
the Nation, after many of the most mar
velous escapes from detection and death,
often in prison, he was finally caught,
convicted as a spy, and on April IA, 1862,
was hanged By the Confederates at Rich
mOnd, Va. His fate was a great blow
to Lincoln's Secret Service. and was
mourned by the North as dire calamity.
Even while under sentences of death in
Confederate camp, his name was whis-
pered among the people he had warred
against with respect and even with ad-
miratiOn. The remains of Timothy Web
ster, hero and martyr, have rested in their
little narrow bed since May IS, 1871.
They were transferred from Richmond to
Chicago by Mr.. Pinkerton himself and
placed there in Mr.. Pinkerton's private
lot for men in his service. in Graceland
Cemetery"
The story of the removal of the remains
to Onarga is long one, and one in which
tragedy was almost enacted. Thomas
Robinson, who still has brother, James
Robinson, living in Onarga, married a
daughter of Timothy Webster, and as
soon as he learned that the body of his
father-in-law was buried in Chicago went
to that city to see Mr.. Pinkcrton and
optaln MS CONSENT 10 remove IL 10 Onar-
ga. The request was denied, but Mr..
Robinson returned with a revolver and
attempted to intimidate the great de-
tective. Pinkerton ordered him from the
room, and Robinson did not shoot. AT
terwards Pinkerton called on Robinson
and granted the request.
There were two Timothy Websters,
father and son. and the remains are buried
side by side, but the father was the great
Spy of the Rebellion" The wives of
both of these men are still living.

SHERIDAN AT CEDAR CREEK.
EarIy's Advance Checked and Lines Formed
Before sheridan's Arrival, Ayers Michi-
gan Comrade.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: i take
this early opportunity of indorsing an ar
ticle in the issue of your paper for Nov.
81, written by S. S. Hammitt, Co. B, Beth
Ohio, Orderly for Gen. r. B. Hayes.
He has written the fairest and most
truthful statement l have read as regards
the distances and the general situation
on that memorable occasion.
| The general accounts which represent
| Gen. Sheridan as meeting a fleeing army
after he had ridden from Winchester, and
facing them the other way and winning
a great victory after his army was routed
does q rank injustice to the larger part
of his army, that was not surprised or in
the least demoralized. The truth is that
and established line several hours before
the General appeared.
| Gen Early had gone as far as he could
go, had Gen. Sheridan not come at all.
| The army was encamped in what is
known as en- echelon, the Eighth Corps
on the left and front, the other corps of
infantry and the First and Third Divi-
sions of cavalry each farther to the right
and rear, SO that line drawn straight
across the valley from the camp of Gen.
| Clusters Third Division would cross the
pike nearly at the point where the final
line was formed and where it remained at
the time of Gen. Sheridan's arrival. The
cavalry was called to the right by the
attack upon their picket early in the morn
ing. Before they reached that point the
firing had ceased and the column then
headed the other way and moved rapidly
in the direction of the heavy firing. Our
course took us about a quarter of a mile
north Tor to the rear of the place where
our brigade (the First or Michigan Bri-
gade) of the First Division had been en-
camped the previous night.
AS we were passing that point we could
see the grand old Sixth Corps falling back
across the ground where we had been a
few short hours before They were no
demoraliZed mob, but were in good order,
as if on dress parade. When we reached
the pike we found the remainder of the
division and also Gen. Custer, with the
Third already there and massed directly
to the left of the pike and in front of the
rebels main line. After holding this po-
sition for some time the First Division
moved to the left, the Michigan Brigade
having the left of the division.
My company, with others of the regi-
ment, was placed on the skirmish line,
and we pushed forward in front Of the
right flank of the rebel army. From the
position occupied by myself on the top of
quite a rise of ground, / could see over
the ground clear to the pike. Once dur
ing the forenoon we could see the rebel
pickets leave the cover of their breast
works and come creeping down the fences
leading towards our line. But before they
would get far a cavalry charge would
send them scurrying back again.-G. w.
