Washington, Aug (V?The death ol (ieneral Sheri?
dan wai tho principal topic of conversation kmoog
public mon today. Roth house* of Congress ad?
journed at an early hour ont of re* peet to tho dead
soldier By order of the lYesldi-nt the fla**s were
lowered at half -mast on all tbo public bu Klings.
While nothing definite bas been settled yet either
a*> regards time or place of burial tho general Impres?
sion is thst the body will be interred at tefl Soldiers'
Homo tn this city. It ls a spot to which tho General
was very partial while al ve. He used to enjoy
driving there and frequently could bo icon on tho
plar.ra of one of the officers' quarters chatting or
?mobing a cigar during pleasant woather. At tho Hmo
when the que?t on as to where General Grant should
be burled was bein* discussed, be emphatically de?
clared that in his opinion th<- Soldiers' lin iib was the
ptaco to bury tbe leader ol Ibe annies of tho United
States. Thc dooislon ol the family to accept the ofler
of New-York was a disappointment to General Sheri?
dan. He never disguised thc fact and frequently
would refer to lt In conversation with friends. In tho
event of General Sheridan's family deciding In favor
of tho Solders' Home here thoi-e will probably be a
service held at St. Matthew's Church tn Hst., where
the General's family wore worshippers. The details
pf the lune ral sro not yet known, except that lt wtll
be. In ar-coi-daiiro with the wishes expressed by Mis.
bhorldan and Colonel "Mike" Sheridan, the General's
brother, a military one. Its arrangement has beou
left entirely willi General Schofield.
Thc President d d not init-nil to come In from
Oakview to-day, but upon learning of General Sheri?
dan's death he drove In, reaching tbo White House
shortly b.-foi-e ll o'cloeh. Ho at once issued the
following order, which had boen prepared by Colonel
Lamont:
Executive Mansion. Washington, Aub. 8, IMR
As a mark of respect to tho memory of General Sheridan,
the President directs tliat tho National Han be displayed
av htlf-Eiast on all tho S0fltH0|8 nf tin* Executive Depart?
ments In tho City of WSBBlOltBU uni ll after his tanoni
shall have taken place. Ry diction of the President,
DANIEL R. LAMONT, Prlvaos Secretary.
The ord?r was telegraphed to tho different Depart?
ments and w-as Immediately carried Into effect, al
teOOgk the llai;s on Hu- btaie), War and Navy Depart?
menu building hail been placed at half-mast beforo
the order wa. Issued. Tho fact that tho order is
Slimed by Colonel Lamont has been marte the subject
of c-i.-iMi-n. While such a course ls probably
not Biaga! Il certainly ls unusual. Heretofore, simi?
lar oi-ders have always hOOU signed either by tho
l'lo-idont himself or by the Secretary of State. A
private secretary has not often boen can d upon to
i__ue orders to the heads ift Executive Departments.

General Hooker, of Mississippi. Pi'-vloi s lo doing
this, however, another ex-Confederate General, Wheel

takm tho necessary steps to draft i-csolutioti-, ho
withdrew, contenting himself with the prlvilcgo ol
having them appear In -Tho Iiee-ird." General
QroeVOOor, n < 'bio, and General Cutcheon. of Mlohlgan,
spolie In tooling terms of the demi commander.
Uoth tho Bonito and the House have appointed a
committee of seven each to confer with thc- family In
regard to tho funeral, and to take such other action
a> may seem appropriate or necessary under the cir?
cumstances.
While Mrs. 6herldan ls not wealthy, ibo ls probably
far from pot>r. Friends of Ihe General living in
Chicago priS'-nted him when hu succeeded Geiicial
Bherman In tbo BOBBBMBd of ibo Army with tho house
ln which he lived herc, lt Is worth perhaps 150,000
Ths General's salary and penjulsltos have anioun'-d,
for the last eight or stan years, to about UlO.Ooo a
year, aud probably moro than ihat. While a generous
liver and a llbeial host, ht* han probably managed to
lave a fair portion of lil* salary every year. At the
time ol his death he owned some propert. In Chicago
and also some In Ohio. Still, thSSO is already somo
talk of raising a fund for Mrs. Sheridan; and '.n tho
6-iiaie today Mr. Farwcll introduced a bill granting
Mrs. Shcrlila-i a pension of M. OOO B year Which
was referred to th" Committee on Pensions.
It will probably be reported favorably and pass the
Senate without difficulty. It the House, however,
there ls eure to bo some objection to Its passage.
V berber lt will be sufficient to defeat it altogether
seems doubtful; tts opponents may succeed, however.
In having lt postponed until next winter.
GENERAL SCHOFIELD HIS SUCCESSOR.
Tbs quesUon of Uie successor to OonorsJ Sheridan
In tbe oomrnsnd ol tho ai my has been settled by an
order directing General Schofield, the senior major
general, to tako command. It ts not probable that
the rank of lieutenant-general will bo reived hy Con?
gress lor his benefit There ls little sentiment In
favor of such a course In either house of Congress at
present. The opinion .cms to be tliat inasmuch imi
Sheriuan ls the last of the great generals of tho late

MAJOR M'KINLEY'S TRIRITE.
Representative McKinley was on (rook's staff with
Sheridan during the Valley campaign. Speaking of
tho dead General today. Mr. McKinley said:
"General Sheridan was a most valiant and cour?
ageous soldier, and withal a groat man. II" earned
RM fame ho enjoyed. There has been no Skiff extra
Hve officer than he. I have alwavs eonpond bim In
my mind with Stonewall Jackson. He was to our
army what Jackson was to tho other side. He was a
dashing commander, jet calm, courageous and deter?
mined. When he start-oil out to clo a
thing all his energy wss devoted to
its accomplishment He did not calculate thc
c-t. tho thing was to bo don. and ho would dfl li?
lle did not tunk of th>- effort lt cost him. Tb- re
suit was that he was successful, and h's vlct?vjes
were ai a lesa sacrifice than Attended victories won
by moro camions commanders, lb- wn a tighter.
III. arrival at Cedar Creek v.aa tho : Inforcemenl of
a thousand men. When h" rode down ih" pne to ihow
that he was there every man saw fight and Victory
in his presence. V. 'hon he older, il ll.'i.i forward
they advanced with a feeling ol roo rage sod confi
dence, and they recovered al) they lind lost and mitch
more - thev had won the Victory. The popular story
of Short-ten's ride ls absolutely true. He "indi* thl
lido, turned bael the ii-lreailng anny sod von a vic?
tory. I saw him as he rode Into Hie lines, a-id
showed him to General Crook's Quarters. I was
placing somo artillery In poslllon on the pike When
lie rode up. He asked me to show hm to ('.?nra)
Crook- He did wt appen excited i micki suv ke
was calm, but there un.- a tightening of t!,e muscio*
of the face and a look In the eye thal denoted OO
termination. Thei-c was a set goroon |n hl< face, and
lr meant fight. Throughout tba' was a wonderful
campaign. It was a series of brflUoot movements,
marked by energy, courage and victory. He hod a
wonderful Influence over his mon. Tiny knew he wss
a fighter, and they won always ready to follow him,
confident of success."
6HERIDAN AT CEDAR CREEK.
The arrival of Sheridan on tho battlefield of Cedar
Crtseh ls graphically told by Mr. Whitelaw Reid in
his "Ohio In tho War.'' lt supplement. In an In*
lei-estlng way th-* account given by Major McKinley
Of this Important turning point tn Slr*!Man's oare*r.
OSOBIOl Crook lay a e-ouplu of rods IWUJT fran th" Uno
In a pinco which seemed to b<) moro particularly i xposed
than any other part of tho linc. Colon. I Hayes isv (',.-<?
by, badly bfulaod from his fall snd gnuablini bataan t'i"
troojis did not charge tho enemy's lino bMMOd a' walting
to be charged. Suddenly there ls a dust in Um rear, on
tho Wliichesur pille, and almost heforo Ihey aro aware, a
young man, In full Msjoi flsoaral'l uniform and rilling
furlousiy a magnificent Mack hor.-o, literally " Becked
with foam," reins up and springs off bv Qeoeral Crook's
eldo. There ls a perfect rr.ar as e verybody recognl?, s
Sheridan. He talks with Crook a while, cut'lng I VB J at
the tops of the weeds with his ridlne whip. General
Crook speaks a balf-dozon sentences ilia*, BBUOd a giest
deal like the crack of the whip, and by that time BOMB of
UM nun are up. Tl,ey ?f" sent living la different til j ?->?
Hons. Sheridan and Crook llo down and seem to be talk?
ing and all ls quiet again except the vicious shells of thc
dliT.ieiit Latteries and tho roar of artillery alone the line.

And so hu roda ott, and a long wnvo of veils rolling up to
tho right with hitu. Th" BMU took their ik,-'.s. tho Uti"
moved forward, and tho balance of the day ls a household
w,,rd BTU a Whole nation.
Colonel Kellogg, of (ieneral Sheridan's staff, left
Washington this afternoon at _ o'clock for Ronqnlt
ll look with him tho General*! uniform and sword.
Beeietary Whitney learned of tho General's death
through t'i- newspapers thia morning ami sent thc
following telegram io Colonel Sheridan:

" It ls not cnouen thal wo reform tho individual.

now ticing (iobatod among men.
" 'The flrst conci-ni ol good government.' said tho
recent Nsltonal Republican Convention at Chicago, 'ls
Uio virtue and sobriety of tho people and tho purity nf
tho homo.' Revenue, then, ll not Uoveinment's chief
concerti, whether coming from Internal taxation or from
a tariff on Importations : and any source of revenue
which discounts 'tho virtue and sobriety of tho pooplo'
ami begets Impurity In Iho home, should be tho ilrst
object a--jailed by every j arty professing to seek good
government; while tho ravoaus dcrtvod from such a
-outee ihould bo tho lirst to be forsworn, not alter?
natively, for tho sake of a protective tariff, but posi?
tively, for tho sake of protection dearer and more vital
I han tho tariff ean over yield. Had I not. loft tho Ro
publlcon porty four years apo, I should be compel I .rd
to leave lt now, when, af*'er reading tho words I havo
quoted, from a resolution supplements] to but not ln
eluded In Its platform, and Boding In these words my
own Idea of Government's 'chi**! concern' set forth, I
search th" lon*-; platform through In vain to find eon
demnalloti of tbs saloon, or hint of purpose to assail
lt, or any ilga of moral consciousness that foo saloon
ls a cm ie, and its InCOUM too unholy for ih" Nation
io thara."
"Tho Republican party knows to-day and know at
Chicago In June that the public surplus, which In
ih-4 lt declared daogorous and then proposed to re?

more dun*.- inis than Hie surplus?the liquor traffic.

And they must nairne thal the swift way to reduce

from liquor; that the right woy Is to end it by de
flaring the manufacture, Importation, transportation
