The attitude of Gen. John A. Logan
In the exciting days Immediately fol-
lowing the first election of Lincoln and
the outbreak of the civil war has been
the subject OF a good deal of discus
sion, to which a writer for the Illinois
State Register Of Springfield, ILL.,, has
Just contributed an interesting chap
ter.
According to "Appleton's EncycloDe-
dia of American Biography" Gen. Lo-
gan was from the first an ardent sup
porter of Lincoln and the Union. 1t
says:
"On the first intimation of coming
trouble from the South he (Logan) de-
clared that in the event of the cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln he would
shoulder his musket to have him in
augurated."
Further on the encyclopedia says:
I'm July, 1861, during the extra ses-
sion of congress called by President
Lincoln he CLogan) left his seat in
congress that he might overtake the
troops that were marching out of
Washington to meet the enemy, and
fought in the ranks of Col. Richard
sons regiment in the battle of Bull
Run"
With both these statements the
writer in the Illinois State Register
takes issue. Describing himself as a
warm friend and admirer of Gen. Lo-
gan, he AYERS that Logan did not sym
pathize with Lincoln at the start and
was not favorable to the cause of the
Union when the war began.
He further says that while Logan's
patriotism was fred by the roar of
The Bull Run guns, the story that he
eft his seat in congress to overtake
and fight in the ranks of the Union ar
my at Bull Run is erroneous. He says:
THE history of Gen John A. Lo-
gan is family one, and the object of
he writer is to correct that history
with no intent or aim to nlnsh from
the brow of one of Americas bravest
single laurel to which he is entitled
Or to wrong his memory in the slight
truth and nothing but the truth, as
the oath goes, is this:
John A. Logan was not favorable
TO the Union side when the war of the
rebellion commenced, and those who
claim that he was not only do him but
themselves a great wrong.
"On the contrary, John A. Logan
denounced the war as damned Abo-
lition scheme to free the Niger and
went SO far in his denunciation of the
Lincoln party as he termed 1t, as to
denounce Douglas and many of his
warmest friends in Springfield and at
his home. On the train upon which
Douglas and his wife were going to
Chicago, he declared in the hearing of
hundreds of people:
douglas has sold out the Demo-
cratic party, but I'll be damned If he
can deliver the goods.
"He was so enraged at Douglas he
would not go to Douglas room in the
American House in Springfield, al
though Douglas implored him by say
ing:
"'John, come up to my room and let
us talk this thing over.
"'Oh. talk the devil said Logan,
I've talked with you and been led by
you, until you have led the Democratic
party into ruin! I'll be damned If
you lead me any more!
"He would not listen to the speeches
made by Douglas at Bloomington, Pom

u " thought that when a man
was elected to the upper
house in congress his cares and
trials were over for six years. Sen
ator Fairbanks, who is tall and som
ber, Joined the group at this point in
the western mans dissertation and a
wicked bleam came into Heitfelds
eye.
ITO illustrate" he continued,
there's Fairbanks, one of the richest
and incest republicans in the senate
Well, in the last week his million-dol-
lar factory at Springfield, o., burned,
his small son shot "A boy companion
while they were playing with didn't
know-it- was-loaded rife, he has giveA
a dinner or gone out to one every night
and Beveridge has been appointed
member of the steering committee"
All of Heitfeld's auditors laughed ex-
cept Mr. Fairbanks. His political ami
mostly to Senator Beveridge is so well
known in Washington that the other
senators regard as joke every utter
ance that couples the names of the TWO
Indiana statesmen.
1t is well known that all the serv-
ants in Washington are colored and
that it is impossible to procure white
help. The wife of western senator
had marveled at this mystery ever
since she had lived in Washington,
bat she thinks that she has solved 1t
nSw. Recently she was invited by
Director Merriam to visit the census
Office. She accepted the invitation ana
Mr.. Merriam conducted her through
the various sections of the big build
ing. Finally he took her to the room
where hundreds of young women are
employed running punching machines
and writing in large ledgers She
swept her eyes over the vast room
and then in a voice audible to several
hundred of the clerks said:
IT'S no wonder that white cooks
and housemaids are so scarce in
Washington"
Mr. Merriam led her out of the room
in time to avoid riot. but when her
husband comes up for reelection there
will be lot of young women busy
with pencil and ink furnishing rea-
sons why he should be defeated. The
census employees were appointed from
| the various states and although each
passed an examination each also is of
sufficient political Importance to in
terest a congressman or a senator in
her behalf.
While the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt were in Groton attending
Theodore junior during his critical i'll
ness the other Roosevelt children had

Alice Roosevelt and her aunt, Miss Ca
rev, were there to hold them in, but
were not very successful. Bright and
early on the morning the president
started for Groton Archibald appeared
in the public reception room and an
nounced to the white house employees
that If they would accompany him to
| the red room he would show them
/ how Kubelik acted the day he gave a
recital at the white house. No one
accepted the invitation, but shortly
from the red room came a series of
the most fearful crashes ever given
out by tortured piano. When Pinck-
ney reached the spot he found Archie

With coal bins practically empty
supply in sight selling at SIS per ton
yesterday. and likely to sell at $50 pei
ton tomorrow, the people of Washington
are experiencing the rigors of the situa-
tion before the beginning of cold
weather.
1t was stated yesterday by those con-
versant with the situation that there
were not more than ], 500 tens of coal in
the city, and that there is no prospect oi
more until the ending of the strike
tiles Of the anthracite. and but few Of
the Objectionable features of the btu
minous, has advanced in the past three
days from $50 to $S per ton.
The soft coal market seems TO be
somewhat slow and unreliable. Very
few Of the dealers in the city have an
thracite coal in any quantity, and the
few who have 1t are holding it for their
regular customers.
The fall in temperature has occasioned
rush of seekers for coal. Little assur-
ance of any sort of supply is given them
The curious fact was developed yester-
day that one dealer was selling to his
poor customers at so cents bushel, a
rate Of about $14.50 ton. a price lower
than can be obtained by the purchasers
Of ton lots.
