changing his mind when once made
up and accordingly decided to gain ac-
cess to the president before the secre-
tary of wal should forestall him by
the presentation of the war depart

called upon the secretary at s o'clock
in the morning of the day after his
arrival and said to him: :.Mr. Stanton,
I wish you would take me to Mr.. Lin

do the talking. | don't want you to

Turning to the secretary, the presi-

the disposition Of certain forces not

Cleveland, how many at Detroit. how
many here and how many there
until he had gone over the available
force In the west and had demonstrate
ed that $4,000 or 10000 troops could be
sent to Grant.
Then Mr.. Lincoln asked General Leg
gett when he intended to leave Wash

"At 3 p. m.," the general answered.
"Well want you until then." said
Mr.. Lincoln.
A carriage was ordered and the two
entered 1t and were driven to the Sol
