PERSONAL.

Gen. Sickles gave an interview TO the
Washington reporters, and it was n
mighty lively one. The old warrior feels
that he is now on the sidewalk. where he
views the passing show, and is at liberty,
to talk freely. He does. He praclaims
himself an old-fashioned Democrat. who
was read out OF the party when it went
after strange gods. He would be delighted
to support it il it would come back to ito,

Roosevelt is the only man the Republicans
can nominate. Wall Street and the corno.,
rations are against him, but this makes
him more popular with the people. Being
no longer active in politics, the General
feels that he has no right to say much
about the Democratic nominee, but he ,iro.
ceeds to say good deal. He never cared
very much for Cleveland, but Cleveland
is honest, and the people have confidence
in his integrity. He would give Roosevelt
a desperate twist in New York and New
Jersey. The General wonders how WaIl

have the word go out that the nominee had

mistakes. As for Judge Parker, it would
be just as well to nominate the Revised

;. EMANCIPATION OF CAPT. BRENT.
Abducted From Martha Ann He Becomes Famous at the Front
and Returns Hero.
By LULU LINTON.

After dinner, when they were watching
the dress-parade and drill Of the cavalry
troops, Uncle Billie Strengthened his shout
ders and said to Big Joe:7"Of course this
is big sight TO these people who know
nothing about real soldiers and their
work; but it's nothing to compare with
what my men could do" and then he
launched into series of stories of the
wonderful feats of his men, that made
Big Joe shake with inward laughter.
The next morning they took the train
to the battle-ground, and visited the monu-
ment in which they felt so much interest.
When once he had reached the old famil-
lar ground Capt. Brent was i'm his proper
element. He had no need of o guide, nor
yet of the markers that told the story OF
other days to the younger people. Like
the war horse, he seemed to sniff the battle

French and German Ministers Attack.
ed in Hayti

TTCHSf duo SSInHdn WtOtStGTS AttdCk-
ed in Hayt.
Washington, June 23.-Confirma-
tion of the reported attack on the
French and German ministers in Hay
ii came to the state department to-
day from Minister Howell at Port
au Prince dated yesterday. He says,
The French and German ministers
with their ladies while passing the
palace in their carriages yesterday
were stoned by the palace guards.
The French minister was slightly in
jured. An apology was demanded but
not given. 1t is understood the attack
was the outgrowth of the Haytien
bank trouble which involved the in
generation by the Haytien govern
ment of certain foreign officers of the
bank on the charge of misappropria-
tion of the funds, and the subsequent
Intervention of the French and Ger
man governments in behalf of their
citizens.
