q LONG STRUGGLE
R. n. G. Brown, SOn-in-Law of Henry
G. Davis, Expired in Washington.

Commander Robert NJ. G. Brown.
United States navy, retired, died at
Garfield Hospital, Washington, after a
long illness at $50 o'clock Friday
morning. The remains were conveyed
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
via Cumberland to Elkins, w. Va, and
funeral services were held in the Davis
Memorial Presbyterian church at Elkins
at 2 O'Clock Sunday. The body was in
TERED beside that of his wife in Maple
wood cemetery at Elkins.
Robert Matthew Gay Brown was born
in Kingwood, W. Va, December 8,
lS45, and was appointed a midshipman
in the navy July p, 1864. Four years
later he was promoted to ensign and in
one year more advanced to the grade OF
master. December Is, 1872, he was
commissioned as lieutenant, and he was
attached to the United States steam
ship Trenton as lieutenant on the occa-
sion of the hurricane at Samoa in 1889.
Lieut.. Brown rendered gallant service
on that occasion, but in so doing he suf-
fered severely from exposure and rheu-
matism developed. He was i'll of this
malady during much of the remainder
of his life, Lieut.. Brown was pro-
NOTED to be lieutenant commander from
April q, 1898, and was transferred to
the retired list December ), 1894. Dur
ing the Spanish-American war he serv-
ed at the navy yard, Norfolk, Va, from
April 49, 1898, to October II of the
same year. He was commissioned a
commander on the retired list of the
navy from March 20, 1902.
About twenty years ago Lieut..
Brown married Katharine, daughter Of
ex-senator Henry G. Davis of West
Virginia, and one daughter, Katharine.
survives the couple. Mrs. Brown died
three years ago.
After spending the past summer, as
was his custom, at Kingwood and Elk
ms, Commander Brown returned to
Washington, arriving about two months
ago. He intended to take up his resi-
dence at his apartments in Stoneleigh
Court, where he has lived almost con-
Nauously during late years. On the
5ain en- route to Washington. however
he became i'll, and upon arrival in Wash
lngton he was Immediately taken to the
Garfield Hospital At first it was
thought his old ailment, rheumatism,
would yield to the course of treatment
adopted, and it was not until short
time ago that a turn for the worse in
dicated that serious results were to be
feared.
When her fathers condition became
serious, little Miss Katherine Brown
was brought home from boarding
school, and she, with nephew, Clar-
ence Dilley, of Kingwood, were among
the members of the family at the bed
side when death occurred.

Sherman'S March.

In his autobiography, now running in
the North American Review, Mark
Twain recalls that he puts the question
to General Grant: with whom origi-
mated the idea of the march to the sea-"
Was it Grants or was it Sherman
idea? General Grant replied; Neither
of US originated the idea of Sherman $
march to the sea. The enemy did it..
He wrote me, " said General Grant
what his plan was, and | sent him word
to go ahead. My staff was opposed to
the movement, " | think, notes Mark
Twain, the General said they tried to
persuade him to stop Sherman. The
chief of his staff, the General said. even
went so far as to go to Washington
without the Generals knowledge and
get the ear Of the authorities, and he
succeeded in arousing their fears to
such an extent that they telegraphed
General Grant to stop Sherman.
Then General Grant said: "Out of
Difference to the Government | tele-
graphed Sherman and stopped him "a
hours; and then, considering that that
was Difference enough to the Govern
ment, | telegraph0d him to 90 ahead
again.

years, who was also her constant friend
and companion, and James H. Nicker-

THE CAPITAL EXCITED.

St. Petersburg, Aug. les P. NJ
The greatest excitement prevails in St

news from SvcabOrg, and there is the
deepest apprehension regarding the
situation at Cronstadt. as there is lit
tie doubt that the rising of the garri-
son OF the Gibraltar on the Baltic"
was a premature attempt to execute a
widespread military conspiracy, which
involved the Selling of the fortresseS

and Baltic fleets. All telegraph and
telephone communication with Cron-
stadt was cut during the night but no
sound of firing has yet been heard AL
though it is learned that a summons to
revolt was issued there, the chief
point now in doubt is whether the
