Disastrous as the war was to the road at
the time, the road was of great value to the
federal government, which sent many thou
sands of its troops south over its rails.
Though it charged the government only q
fifth of a cent a mile above cost for the SOL

The facts were made public, but payment
was not pressed, and this gave the road a
reputation for patriotism
Troubles in 1889.
Fish was only a schoolboy then. and 1t
was more than twenty years after the close
of the war that he became the road S
president.
Two years after he took the place in 1889
a concerted attack upon his management
in which E. II. Hartman was associated as
vice president, was made. The road had
been built with state aid and stockholders
as well as many people of the state not
stockholders, looked upon 1t as a state in
stitution, and dissatisfaction with the fact
that neither the president nor the vice pres
ident was resident of Illinois was openly
expressed. Gen. McNulta was candidate for
president In place of Fish, whose resigna-
ton was demanded in meetings and
through the newspapers.
Charles Farwell was United States SEN
ator from Illinois then and there was talk
that some Of the trouble Fish suffered was
due to political rivalry between Farwell and
McNulta. Not to go deeply into the Ques-
ton, the revolt" as 1t was then termed
did not cause the resignation of Fish
though Hartman did get out. There was
talk then that Hartman and Fish were not

No matter how the present complications
may result, Stuyyesant Fish Is a figure to
deal with in any question in which he takes
a personal interest In his stand on the in

many policyholders in England.
Stuyvesant Fish himself is understood to
be too deeply immersed in his railroad and
other enterprises to go in much for society
