be silent; but Sherman would get impatient and
often indulge in vehement invectives. Sometimes
his flashes of anger would reach out to annoy his
innocent staff or other friends.
He had just taken command at Louisville Ken
lucky IN the fall Of SOL trying while looking south
ward to cover his wide front with not to exceed
twenty thousand men, when he visited by
Simon Cameron, who was accompanied by
bers of his Office flor he still Mr. Lincolns
Secretary OF War, and followed by a number of
newspaper correspondents. Mr. Cameron visited
the General at his Louisville Office, where he
deavored to explain to the Secretary the situation,
the uncertain condition OF Kentucky to loyalty,
the approach of Confederate army larger than
present force and the terrible consequences soon
to if that part of strategic field longer
neglected
The last interview between the Secretary and
Sherman occurred at the famous Gait House. in one
Of the larger rooms of that hospitable hotel MI
Cameron had with him that morning one of the
ablest newspaper men in the country. Several army
officers also there.
Mr.. Cameron asked very properly, innocent of
any intended offense, General Sherman, as you
complain of having too few men to meet and defeat
the enemy; how many men do you estimate as
necessary"
Sherman rose and began to walk the floor with
his head bent forward as his custom when
thinking deeply. Why, how in the world can you
ask me such a question? We must have fifty
thousand And We'll need two hundred
thousand to clear this part of the general field
of operations and break through the enemy's line
of defense"
"Ah, General Sherman, you are beside yourself!'
Look here, Mr.. Cameron" he cried out, after

Declared to be Unfit

IMMEDIATELY assuming command Shere
man had Dayton formulate his views on the
situation in several reports to Washington. His
language in these, may add, was strong and
his pleadings for force so earnest, that
even Mcclellan, then the commander in chief
of all the armies, was much puzzled and alarmed.
At first he sent aide-de-camp, Colonel Key
(he was at the time acting Judge Advocate and
a confidential advlSer), to examine into every
thing essential in Shernan's command, and
especially to inquire into and report upon his
fitness for the place he occupied. Colonel Keys
report was that in his opinion Sherman was
not sufficiently master of his judgment to war
rant intrusting to him an important military
command.
This action of McClelans, taken in connection
with the shameless attacks by various news
papers, and also the reports of Simon Cameron
Secretary of War, and the staff officers who had
accompanied himto Louisville, as already seen
was the sequel to Sherman's excited almost
frantic letters and protests which followed that
October day. He was then, learned a
few months later practically set aside.
General Sherman did not obtain full Informal
ton of the public accusation that he
garded actually insane till he had been re-
lieved from duty by Mcclellan. His successor
was an able and conservative leader, General
Don Carlos Buell. Sherman had proceeded to
his own home in Lancaster, Ohio. His family,
consisting of Mrs. Sherman and five of his chill
dren, were sitting with him at the dinner table,
when the cruel article from The Cincinnati
Commercial was handed to him. He read the
article atentively at first without speaking aword.
Then he glanced over the article again, and vio-
lently threw the newspaper upon the floor, crying

seeing his General approaching horseback fol-

toward simple spread nothing more than COM
mon lunch, which he had prepared-some chicken
sandwiches few choice apples for fruit, with
plenty of crackers and coffee. The camp table,
then new, with its legs dropped down, stood beside
camp stools, one for Dayton and one for General
Sherman. Sherman dismounted near the mess
chest as soon as he saw Dayton's arrangement, and
cried joyfully, Why, Dayton, you're already
equipped for the march, That's right"

same paper declaring Sherman insane 1t said:
The painful intelligence reaches us in such form
that we are not at liberty to dscredit it, that Cen

Anderson showed him the order from

Still Sherman loudly and strongly

At LEAST EIGHT KILLED
Collapse Of New Pier Carries

Baltimore, April pa new pier I'm.

two men are missing and a mum
Der were injured. The pier was be-
ing built for the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad at the immigration station at
Locust point for the use of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company at
a cost of $400, 900. 1t was 1000 feet
long and was about three-fourths COM
pleted.
Warning of the disaster was had
several days ago, when the piles to-
ward the end of the pier began set
Ting and vigorous efforts were being
made to ave the structure. Shortly
before the disaster occurred the piles
began settling in such an alarming
amer that orders to leave the place
were circulated among the fifty work
men and it is due to this fact that the
casualties were not greater. Those
caught were on the end of the pier on
the roof.

CUMMINs FOR ROOSEVELT
lowa's Governor Says He Should Ac-
cept Another Nomination.

Des Moines, Ia, April 26.-In a let
ter addressed TO George f. Bowers Of
Orange. Ia. a prominent Republican
editor, Governor Cummins declared
that President Roosevelt should with
draw his statement that he will not
accept a denomination. The letter
was written in response to an inquiry
concerning presidential politics and
its important statements follow:
There is a great deal being said
and a great deal being written with
regard to the candidate for president,
but it is vastly more important that
we succeed in announcing a platform
that will be expressive of our pur-
poses than it is nov to determine who
the candidate shall be. Personally, l
believe that President Roosevelt's
plain duty is to withdraw his former
statement and to say that under the
demand made and the evident
state of the public mind he will accept
another nomination if it is rendered to
him with practical unanimity."

Property of Brewery Companies Doing
Business in Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, April 25.-The state
supreme court has appointed Judges
HalIen, G. II. Whitcomb and L. F.
Carver, all of Topeka, receivers for
the property in Kansas said to be
worth $250,o00 Of nine foreign brew
eng companies and a wholesale whisky
concern. Six of the companies are
Kansas City (Mo.) concerns and three
are Milwaukee firms. The receivers
were appointed upon the petition of

Gently secured an order from the court

eerty involved includes liquors. bar fix
lures. wagons, animals and warehouses
and is located principally in Topeka,

burg and Columbus, Kan.
Since the restraining order was is
sued some of the companies removed
part of their property situated near

what remains will be sold and the
proceeds used to defray the cost of
the present suits. The companies that
removed their property will be cited
for contempt.

FRIENDLY SUIT

new MINNESOTA FARE LAW
Legal Action Will Be Taken to Re-
strain Officers of the Company
From Accepting 1t.

New York, April 30.-The Tribune
says certain stockholders of the North.
ern Pacific Railway company will, it is
understood, bring a friendly suit
against the officers of the company for
an injunction to restrain them from
accepting for the company the two
cent fare law in Minnesota. AS they
could not bring legal action against
the sovereign state their only alterna-
tive was to bring it against the off
Gals of the company. The latter are
compelled unless restrained by the
courts to comply with the provisions
Of the law. Those who are familiar
with this proposed legal action attach
great Importance to it, as if the in
junction is granted it will serve as a
stay to the enforcement of the law as
far as the Northern Pacific is con-
cerned for perhaps two years.
The Great Northern company doubt
less will become a party to the pro-
posed suit of the Northern Pacific
stockholders.

CONTINUES TO INCREASE
New York Bond Steal Said to
Aggregate $500, 900.

New York, April 29.-The big bond
robbery, in which the Trust Company
of America was the victim, continues
an absorbing subject in the financial
district, where every development is
eagerly scrutinized.
The robbery. at first put down as a
$4,000 affair, has steadily grown un-
til now it appears that securities ag-
gregating $500, 900 in value had been
taken by William o. Douglas, the bond
clerk now under arrest. These figures
are reached as the result of an inter
view given by a member of the eXecu-
tive committee of the trust company,
who said that it took s165,000 to re-
deem the securities hypothetical with
brokers for loans by o. M. bennett,
who is under arrest in connection with
the robbery, and that the securities
were pledged for less than one-third
Of their value. He also said that 1t
was $500, 900 and not 100000 worth Of
securities that were hidden in Broker
Dement'S bed at the Manhattan club.
Taken at the executive committee
mans own figuring that Douglas and
bennett received only a part-less
than a third on the average-it can be
seen that the $165. 900 that the trust
company has lost on the outstanding
securities represents a value of nearly
$500, 900. Adding the 100000 found
in the bed of Broker bennett makes
$500, 900. What has become of the
money Douglas and bennett raised is
unexplained. The trustee said that
while he was of the opinion that much
of this had been lost in speculation he
felt sure that the pair had a snug sum
tucked away somewhere.
