Gen. Edward S. Bragg Gives Out Interview on
Both SubjeCts.--His Views Of the Chinese
Question.

Chicago, May General Edward
S. Bragg, former consul for the
United States to HongKong, arrived
in Chicago en- route to his
home at Fond du Lac, Wis, after hav-
ing, with his wife, passed through
the earthquake and fire at San Fran
cisco where he lost some of his ef-
fects and slept two nights in one OF
the San Francisco parks along with
other refugees. Yes" said the gen.
eral, Mrs Bragg and myself passed
through the San Francisco earthquake
and fire. We came out unscathed,
though we lost some of our belong
ings. We were staying at the Occi-
dental hotel 1t was about 6 O'Clock
in the morning when / was awakened
by my daughter and granddaughter,
who were staying in our rooms at the
hotel. | did not seem to realize just
how bad the quake was. | knew that
earthquakes in San Francisco were
common and | refused to get excited.
| thought it was nothing but scare.
But while they were tugging at me
to get out of bed the plasterlng in
the room began to fall, and before
they could get me out the chandeliers
also fell. Then | began to wake up
to the situation. My daughter ana
grand daughter dragged my trunks
down the back stairs to the street
where l succeeded in getting them
under protection Of military guard.
l afterwards had them taken up to
Mob Hill to protect them from the
fire At Mob Hill l lost them in the
fire. Fortunately most of my valua-
bles were in trunks which / had ex-'
pressed out of San Francisco imme-
diately upon landing there. Mrs.
Bragg and myself slept in park two
nights. We bad no tent or other kind
of shelter. Then we were taken care
of by the navy. My daughters hus-
band is Captain Phil Sherman, of the
navy.
TELLS OF THE WORK.
when l left San Francisco Satur-
day morning the work of making the
new city had already begun. The la
borers were busy dynamiting the old
buildings, shaky frames and ruins
preparatory to clearing the debris for

There is no question that San Fran

Discussing the Chinese boycott of
American goods, the future of Ameri-
can trade in China and the future of
the old empire from the view point
of man who has devoted three years
to a close range study CT these ques-
tions, General Bragg said:
How much of a boycott there is in
China today would be difficult thing
for any man to say" said General
Bragg at the Auditorium.
THAT there has been a more serious
boycott than American officials have
been disposed to admit there can be
no question. Some of these officials,
wishing that there were no boycott,
have refused to see things as they

FEDERAL TROOPS
Will Not Be Allowed to Accompany
Father Sherman Over Route Of
His Father in Southland.

TITS III oOuLNldUus
Washington, May president
Roosevelt took such action as will
prevent detachment of federal troops
from accompanying Father sherman
on his journey over the route follow
ed by General Sherman in his march
from Atlanta to the sea-" This was
done after conference between Pres
ident Roosevelt and General Bell, chief
of staff.
General Bell took with him to the
White House a reply from General
Duvall, saying that troops had been
| assigned to escort Father Sherman
from Chattanooga. There had been
considerable stir during the day among
the Georgia delegation in. congress
and those coming from some of the
other southern states, over the an
serve as an escort for Father Sher-
man. Senator Bacon asked the war
department for information on tho
subject and was told that nothing was
known here. He awaited a reply to
kilograms sent General Duvall before
protesting against the employment of
| troops as an escort.
General Duvalls answer to inqui-
| ries made by the war department on
the subject follows:
Two officers with eight men enlisted
men were authorized by the depart
ment commander to go over the line
of operations of General Sherman s
army in its movement to Atlanta and
son of the late General Sherman,
who wished for historical reasons, to
go over the same territory. The Of
| flcers were selected because of being
interested in study of former oper-
ations of army and were directed to
submit sketches of the country pass
ed over and to prepare a memoir of
their trip to be read before the Off
GERS school at their post. Every op-
portunity is taken advantage of to
study General Sherman's Atlanta cam
paign and it was deemed a happy cir
cumstance that q courtesy to General
! Sherman's son could be combined with
military instruction. Practice marches
now on over the historic fields OF
Chickamagua and Atlanta by troops
from Forts Oglethorp and McPheron,
on which officers will study and ois-
cuss the operations of General Sher-
man. The detachment in question
was authorized by the department
commander and the commanding Of
ficer at Fort Ogleihorpe telegraphs
under date of April 80:
'Lieutenants Campbell and Hunter
and eight enlisted men left here this
morning for Atlanta Father Sher-
man accompanied party
"The party is not directed to go over
the territory of march to sea, but will
return to post from Atlanta
The following telegram was sent
from the White House late tonight:
General William p. Duvall, u. s. A.,
Commanding Department of the
Gulf, Atlanta, Ga:
I'm view of the misapprehension
seemingly caused by the terms employ
ed in your order, the president deems
1t best, after the detachment of the
Twelfth cavalry has gone as far as
Resaca and visited the intervening
field of the engagement at Dalton, the
officers and men composing the de-
tachment shall return to Fort Ogle-
thorpe, which he directs be done.

It was severe shock to the many friends
of George N Gibson to hear of his sudden
death while on steamr headed for San
Francisco which news was reported in the
morning paper last Monday. While few
of his friends knew that he was in poor
health and likewise knew that he left the
city a few days prior to travel for his health,
yet none of them had the slightest idea of
him being so near death s door. Mr.. Gill
son aside from being prominent in the po-
litical circles of this city and county and also
of being pioneer of King county, was one
Of the most whOle-souled fellows in every
respect that could be found He made and
held friends by the scores and all Of them
will sOrely regret to learn of his seemingly
untimely death. Two weeks ago he was
thinking seriously of running for city treas
urer, but after consulting with friends and
his physician he concluded to make a run for
health, but before he reached the goal death
overlook him. Truly in the midst of life is
death. Peace to his ashes.

According to jerome K. Jerome, grating
in England is looked upon which such dis
favor, that a person accused under suspi-
cious circumstances is treated with but little
respect. Public sentiment is the same in
Germany. The chief rulers in these countries
are free from graft, and are the cause of this
much desired reform. England under the
four Georges was one Of the most corrupt
governments that ever existed, but when
Victoria became queen, she soon purified it
Wherever you find a good, true, honest, sin
cere head to government, graft will soon
cease to exist. The term of President Roose-

public sentiment and no man, his equal to
this particular task, will follow him, that is,
if either of the prominent men who are
named become his successor The papers at
the present time report but few but very
few, grafters in government positions Ev-

Do not forget one thing, and that is, that
in this life you will always find the two ex-
tremes. We are not only enjoying prosper
ity on this coast, but it is general all over
the United States, and how long a reaction
will be in coming we don't know, but that it
will come is just as certain as DEATH After
the great building boom in the nineties, the
reaction caught many of our best people un-
prepared and down they went financially,
probably some of whom will never recover
from their failures. This is not meant to
frighten anyone, but it is good business judg-

a manner that if times tighten up, you can
not be 'cleaned out" It is awful to have

get more. Keep yourself in shape for the
