 There's the eye, captain said Dan smoothly; take good care of 1t, please, until I call for it. It cost me $26 and I've only one extra one in my trunk. "The captain was knocked out for an instant; he looked first at Dan and then at the crowd who were watching the fun: but he was game, and made good.

.AN Fl PASO DEAL
 FOR \ HUMAN EYE
The Price Paid Proved to Be Ruinously
 High.

Time was when Charles Waller was light skinned, fair-haired boy of the
 East But that was several decades ago. For two score years the warmth of the sun mingling with the desert breezes has burned the old mans skin until today he is as brown as a berry and as wrinkled as q last years prune. l The fair hair has turned to a silver gray and the once erect shoulders are bent with the weight of years spent in | prospecting and mining. Ted" as he is familiarly known among the old timers down around Fl Paso. has spent d few days visiting relatives on South Central avenue and left last evening for Prescott and Ash Fork. He was an hour ahead or the leaving time or his train and spent the time in recalling trifling, though interesting, incidents of the frontier days.
 At the time I refer to- said Ted. ''El Paso was a wide open town in ev- cry sense of the word Captain Jack Sawyer, the proprietor of the Rio | Grande hotel, w2s curious character.

 Dan Hamilton was a thoroughbred sport and had the most remarkable cockeye that was ever seen. This eye the right one-which had earned for him the sobriquet of 'Cockeyed Dan, had a strange, frozen stare, and all ways persisted in looking in the oppO site direction from. that in which the left eye was focused. Dan never said anything about his infrmity and no one thought it healthy to ask him about it.
 "One night when I was in the Rio Grande talking to the captain at his desk, he looked oveF toward a faro table where 'Cockeyed Dan was play ing and remarked:
 "Dans dropping his roll. I lost six thousand to him last week. but I'm getting it back tonight. He's over four thousand to the bad now. they tell me. I'll get it all back in q little while

ON SNOWSHEDS
Great Northern Using Great Quanti-
ties of Lumber and Concrete.

Work on the Wellington snow
sheds is rapidly progressing. The
great size of the snow sheds at the
point where the Wellington disas-
ter occurred last February is shown
my M. J. Costello, assistant traffic
manager of the Great Northern,
when he said that twelve million
feet of timber would be used in their
construction.
In addition to the timber thous-
ands of barrels of concrete will be
used. The shed will be about a mile
and half long, and wide enough to
accommodate a double track.
In blasting into the mountain to
make room for the shed, the rick
is thrown over to the present Great
Northern tracks. Last Friday a
train was delayed two hours by rea-
son Of an extra large blast, which
piled rock up on the track.

derstood it.
"The New York delegation were IN
formed of this proposition. at their
meeting Sunday afternoon, and, accept
ing it in good faith. decided to cast a
solid vote for General Harrison for
certain number of ballots, and then II
it appeared that he could not be, nom
mated to throw their support to Mr..
Sherman. AS all the world knows. this
movement on the part of New York
brought reinforcements from other
states and General Harrison was nom
mated.
"Mr Plat went into the campaign
with his usual energy, devoting his at
tention chiefly to the state of New
York, but answering frequent calls for
advice and assistance from the nation
al committee. A few days before the
election Mr. Quay, who was chairman
of the committee. came to Mr.. Platt' s
Office with a long face. He said he
was utterly discouraged; that the de-
mands made upon him for money were
tremendous: that the treasury was
empty; that he had exhausted every
source from which he could hope to
secure funds, and that unless some one
came to their relief the committee
might as well give up and close their
headquarters. Mr. Plat replied that
he felt equally discouraged; that he
had tried everywhere to get money TO
pay the expenses of the state cam
paign and had never known it so diff
ficult to raise funds. but he agreed to
try still further. He called upon every
man in New York he thought would
contribute, but was able to collect
only a few thousand dollars Mr..
Quay came to him again and told him
that unless he had money Immediately
the election was lost.
''How much do you want?' asked
Mr. Plat.
One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars at least We must have that
amount or close the headquarters re-
piled Mr.. Quay.
Mr. Plat is not a rich man, but his
credit is good, and he went out and
borrowed $4,000 upon his own per-
sonal note and turned the money over
to the treasurer of the national COM
mittee. Mr.. Quay has frequently as
serted that that money elected Mr..
Harrison.
Several weeks after the election
there appeared in the newspapers GER
tain reports from Indiana that caused
Mr. Plat and his friends considerable
surprise, and they were confirmed by
private advices So Senator Hiscock,
who had been one of the delegates at
large to the Chicago convention and
was familiar with the terms of the
arrangement made by Mr. Elkins, went
to indianapolis, and in the name of
the republicans of New York formally
asked the appointment of Mr.. Platt as
secretary of the treasury. He support

was here he spent a day and night
under the same roof with the one
member of the New York delegation
with whom Senator Sherman says he
made "a corrupt bargain to secure his
nomination in 1888 They did not
meet, however One of the newspapers
says they exchanged salutations.
| That is, when General Harrison enter
ed the dining room of the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel and passed the table at which
Thomas c. Plat was sitting the two
gentlemen bowed politely to each 9th
er. They always do that when they
meet, and Mr.. Platt visited the White
house several times while General
Harrison was president. He went by
invitation, and the interviews would
make very interesting reading if they
could have been reported. But neither
gentleman is in the habit of talking
of such incidents, nor v Il Mr.. Platt
discuss the illusions that are made to
him in Mr.. Sherman's book. He smiles
grimly when approached on this sub
lect and says that he may want to
write book himself some day and pre-
fers to save his material.
But the circumstances of the cor
rupt bargain as Mr.. Sherman calls it,
are known to several people, and are
as follows:
'The New York delegation went to
the convention of 1888 supporting one
of their own number, Mr.. Depew, for
the presidential nomination. They vot-
ed for him continually during the first
week, but when Sunday came they de
cided that he could not succeed and
held a meeting to discuss their future
action. There were Blaine men and
Harrison and Sherman men in the del
egation and friends of other candi-
dates, those who favored Harrison and
Sherman being in the majority and
about evenly divided.
Stephen B. EIkins. who had paid a
hurried visit to indianapolis few days
before, returned with an undelivered
letter in his pocket. 1t was signed
Benjamin Harrison and was address
ed to Thomas c. Platt.' 1t was brief,
but sufficient, and the writer informed
Mr.. Platt that Mr.. Elkins was author
lied to speak for him and that any ar
engagements that the two gentlemen
might make would be ratified.
"a memorable conference took place
in Mr.. Platts rooms at the Grand Pa
cific hotel. at which Mr.. Elkins stated
that he was authorized to say that if
the New York delegation would give
General Harrison their support the lat
ter would appoint Mr.. Plat secretary
of the treasury in case of his election
and allow him to control federal pat
ronage in the state of New York. The
pledge was not made in those exact
words of course, but that was what it

at the breakfast table one morning

him. Mr.. Plat lived at the Fifth Ave

summer for many years. and always
occupied the same rooms and the same
table in the dining room. After pass

satirical tone:

man." was the reply.
do you speak to those gentlemen
as you pass by?' inquired.
Not unless I'm compelled to, and
they don't like me or each other any
better than / like them"
After we had discussed Senator Sher-
mans book, in which he asserted that
President Harrison was nominated
through a corrupt bargain with MIR.
Plat, l asked him what ground there
was for the Corrupt bargain to which
Mr.. Sherman had alluded.
Mr.. Plat replied that he could not
tell me at the breakfast table. but if 1
would come down to his Office at 40
Broadway and lunch with him at L
O'Clock he would give me a good
story.

returning to his Office from the lunch

but it must not be printed until after

say-so and doesn't count, but 1 give

That envelope has ben sealed and
kept in tin box all these years until
this morning, when it was opened and
found to contain the following nara

ed this request by letters and petitions
signed by all the delegates from that
state to the Chicago convention: by
hundreds of editors of republican news
papers; by most of the republican rep
resentatiyes from New York in con-
gress, and by many other prominent
members of the party. These letters
and petitions were prepared, not be-
cause they were thought necessary,
but to assure the president that Mr.
Platt's appointment would be approx
ed by the republicans of his state.
ITO the astonishmment of Senator
Hiscock, the president-elect said he
could not offer Mr.. Platt a seat in his
cabinet, and when pressed for his rea-
sons declined to give them. Senator
Hiscock then referred to the pledge
made by Mr.. Elkins at Chicago, and
said that was the inducement which
led the New York delegation to give
General Harrison their support. The
president-elect admitted that he had
authorized Mr.. Elkins to say that New
York should be recognized in the for
nation of the cabinet and that Mr..
Plat would be consulted In the dis
tribution of federal patronage in his
state, but said Mr. EIkins had posi-
lively Informed him that Mr.. Platt de-
sired nothing for himself; that he had
no personal ambition and that his cir
curnstances would not allow him to ac-
cept cabinet appointment.
Mr.. Hiscock replied that on the con-
trary Mr. Plat had been arranging his
private affairs with the distinct under
standing that he was to be member
of the cabinet and that such an expec-
tation was general among the working
republicans of the state They had
voted for General Harrison's nominal
ton and had contributed their money,
time and talents for his election with
that understanding and would be great
ly disappointed if the agreement was
not carried out. General Harrison was
memorable. He said he intended to
invite New York man into the cab
met and he would be glad to confer
with Mr.. Plat about the selection, but
it was impossible for him to offer the
treasury portfolio or any other to that
gentleman.
There was no further communica-
ton upon the subject until General
Harrison came to Washington shortly
after his Inauguration, when former
Speaker ]. Sloat Fassett of the New
York delegation called on him at the
Arlington hotel to see if the decision
given Mr.. Hiscock had been recon
sidered. Mr.. Fassett had a pleasant
talk with the president-elect and re-
peated to him in detail what had trans
pired at the Chicago convention be-
tween Mr.. Elkins and the members of
the New York delegation The presi-
dent-elect regretted there had been a
misunderstanding, which he was not
responsible for, but it was impossible
for him to offer Mr.. Plat cabinet
position At the same time he would
like to have the, New York republicans
furnish him list of gentlemen compe-
tent to perform the duties of the sec
rotary of the navy. Mr.. Fassett re-
piled that the New York republicans
asked the appointment of Mr.. Plat as
