LINCOLN IN THE SHADOW. The Weight of Sorrow Over the War Almost Tempted Htm to End HI Life.' Congressman James Rankin Young, of Philadelphia, is quoted as repeating this story of Lincoln, related by Secre tary of War Stanton:, ' "One story in particular he told that, I can remember, startled lis, and its details are still vivid in my memory. Mr. Stanton had been relating to us many incidents of the funny side of Mr. Lincoln' character w hen suddenly lie stopped and, after remaining silent fo probably a minute, looking in a vacant way at some manuscript lying on the desk before hiin, he turned In his chair and said: 'Gentlemen, there is nothing that gives me so much pain as the opinion that' seems prevalent, judging from the newspapers, that Mr. Lincoln was a habitual joker; that it was an impossibility for him to be serious, no matter how grave the occa sion might be. Nothing is further from the truth. His heart was big and good, his nature warm and sunny; lience he naturally looked at the bright side of events; but no man of my ac quaintance was more serious than he when the surroundings of the case warranted that he should be. I will give you a point in instance. - "'Mr. Lincoln, during the war, was very sensitive of the criticisms on his "OUR CAUSE IS LOST." administration of the newspaper press, believing it to be, as he asserted, the true voice of the people. The failures Oof McDowell, McC'lellan, Burnside nnd Pope with the Army of the Potomac and the criticisms made thereon by the newspapers almost crnzed liinj. Time and again he'w'oulcT TreVhlmself from the executive mansion and seek my little office; the only place in Washing r ton, he often said, vt here he could be 'absolutely free from interruption. When he became closeted with me on these visits Mr. Lincoln would unbosom himself nnd talk of his cares and woes. Several times he insisted that he ought to resign, and thus give the country an opportunity to secure some one bet ter fitted to accomplish the great task expected of the president. Or, if he did nut resign, he thought he ought to impress upon congress the propriety of giving the absolute control of the urmy, to some purely military man It was during one of these moods that he conceived the idea of placing Hooker In command of the Army of the Poto mac and of vesting him w ith such pow er that, in his opinion, he could not fnil of success. He had a greut idea of Hooker's ability us a soldier, and in addition he believed him to be an honest man and a sincere patriot. He wanted lilm to fight what he intended should be, and he felt would be, the closing battle of the war. Accordingly, when Hooker got under way nnd the news came that at Cliancellorsvillc he would make his fight, Mr. Linculii was in the greatest state of mental excitement I'rom the time that Hooker's army be gun until the smok-- of bnttle had cleared from the fatal field of Chancel lorsville, he scarcely knew what It was to sleep. " 'It will be remembered that the fight lasted three days. During the first two. days it looked as if Hooker was about to accomplish what so many generals before him had failed to do . but, early on the third day, t he usual half hour dispatches began to make matters look dark and ominous of de feat. That whole day Mr. Lincoln was miserable. He nte nothing nnd would see no one but me. As it grew dark the dispatches ceased coming at all. Mr, Lincoln would wulk from the white house to my department and anxiously inquire for news from Hooker. With the going down of the. sun a cold nnd drencliin"viiln set in, which lasted through the night, At about seven o'clock Mr. Lincoln ceased his visits to my department, and gae orders at the executive mansion thnt he would see no one before morning. An hour after ward a dispatch of indeliuite character was received from Hooker, and I hur ried with U to Mr, Lincoln's apart ments. When I entered I found him walking the floor, and his agonized ap pearand so frightened me that it was with difficulty that 1 could speak, air, Lincoln approached me like a man wild 1 with anxiety nnd excitement, seized the dispatch from my hand, rend it, nnd his face slightly brightening, remarked "Stanton, there is hope yet!" At my solicitation Mr. Lincoln accompanied me to the war department,' where he agreed to spend the night, or until something definite was heard from Hooker. For five hours, th longest and most wearisome of my lif I wait. td before a dispatch announcing the retreat pf Hooker wu receded. When Mr. Lincoln read it he threw up hit hands and exclaimed: "My Oodl Stan ton, our cause is lost. We are ruined we are ruined; and such a fearful loss of lite! ' My God! tnls is more than I can endure! He stood, trembling vis ibly, his face of a ghastly hue, the per spiration standing out in big spots on his brow. He put on his hat and coat and began to pace the floor. For five or more minutes he was silent, and then, turning to me, he said: "If I am not about early to-morrow do not send for me, nor allow anyone to disturb me. Defeated again, and so many of our noble countrymen killed! What will the people say?" As he finished he started for the door. I was alarmed. There was some thing indescribable about the" pres ident's face nnd manner that made me feel that my chief should not be left alone. How to approach him without creating suspicion was the thought of a second. Going up to him and lay- in f,' my hand on his shoulder, I said: "Mr, President, I, too, am feeling that I would rather be dead than alive; but is it manly is it brave that we should be the first to succumb? I have an idea: You remain here with me to night. Lie down on yonder lounge, and by the time you have had a few hours' sleep, I will have a vessel at the wharf, and we will go to the front nnd rpc for ourselves the condition of the army." " The idea of visiting the army in erson acted like a tonic. Mr. Lincoln instantly adopted the suggestion. The next morning we left Washington on a gunboat for Hooker's command. On our return trip Mr. Lincoln told me that when he started to leave the war department on that evening he had fully made up his mind to go immedi ately to the Potomac river and there end his life, as many a poor creature but none half so miserable as he was at the time had done before him." Philadelphia Times. CIVIL WAR STORIES. How Jocular CommlMirr sr (rani .Mode an IniprcHlon on llli General. A soldier who has heard some of the yarns from Manila matches them with a number relating to the great civil war. Among them are interesting reminiscences of Gen. Xelson, one of the heroes of the early part of that wur. On one occasion after the battle of Sliiloli, when Cant. Martin Igoe, a quartermaster, was trying1 to extricate his train from the mud, the general wore a rubber coat over his uniform, and there was visible no insignia of his rank. Noticing the obstruction he rode up to the irate Igoe and opened at once with: "What is the matter here, sir.' Whut is the matter?" Igoe looked Nel son over impudently and then said, im patiently: "Any durned fool can see what's the matter. The train's stuck." Nelson roared out in his characteristic way: "Do you know who I am, sir? Do you know who I, am?", "I do," Igoe roared back, lou are the darned pot bellied quartermaster of the Forty- fifth Ohio. Hut, biunk you, I rank you, nnd I can get these wagonB out without any of your lip." Nelson was ns a man thunderstruck for a minute, then with a chuckle he rode away. One morning as a regiment was wuiting in line to pass in review before Nelson, who with his staff was stationed on the roadside nt the head of the column, Jack, the commissary sergeant, come down the road on his mule. He gave the boys a triumphant look and said to those wi 'h in hearing: "See me make an impres sion on the general." He rode on, ob livious of the look on Nelson's face, and when in front of the general made what he regarded as a most stunning salute. Nelson, who did not. tolerate any de parture from nrmy usage or regula tions, glared nt Jack and his mount, und then spurring his lurge horse for ward, shouted: "Get off that mule blank you to blank; get off that mule i ir-i SCrtAMHLED UP THE STEEP CAN'R. now." Jack was a resourceful fellow, and bringing his mule to a quick about face he evnded Nelson, saluted and sturted back. Nelson wheeled' and came down on mule nnd ric'-r like a hurri cane. As he overtook Jack he shouted: "Get off that mule," nnd struck at the li ckless rider with his sword, using it ua a paddle. After receiving one spank Jack threw himself from the mule and scrambled up the steep bank at the roadside, Nelson spanking him as long as any part of Jack s body was w ithin reac. As Jack stood rubbing himself Nelson roared: "Come down, sir," nnd th boys in line yelled nnd laughed. Jack shook his head, and Nelson, real izing thnt he pas not playing the gen eral s port, rode away, nurmuring: "A commissiury sergeant on a mule! The next thing all the privates will be riding broomsticks! Trov Times. The Saaillinstrcr. The sandbaggcr Is always striking strangers for money. Chicago Dai! News. ( V.I A PLOT TO KILL. One of Dreyfus' Lawyors was Its Victim. a. La bar I Is Shot While on His Way to Attend the Court-nariLsl Pro (dings at llcnnn-A Dan gerous Wound Inflicted The Aasassln Escapes. t Hennes, Aug. 15. The diriina at Hcnnes grows tragical. Monday morn ing at 0 o'clock a well nigh successful attempt was made to kill M. Labori, who defended Zola hist year and who dime here to defend Dreyfus with M. Deninnge. The would-be assassin looked like a workingiiuin. His weapon was a'revolver. It was while l.uborl was going to the court with Col. Pic quart and his cousin, M. Cast. When Madame Ln4iorl came up she was sent to fetch n doctor, but not knowing the town, she lost a good deal of time. At last she thought of going to the court nnd asking there for1 n military sur geon. Doctors iilal nnd Keclus were nt hand nnd accompanied her. They found Labor! could move his limbs at will. The spine, therefore. wnB not in iired. The ball had en tered at the slvlh vertehrn. behind the thorax. It initrht be imbedded in the muscle of th" hack or have pen etrated deeper, injuring the lungs. t .ol. Piequart describes the would-be murderer as swarthy and thick set, resolute and intelligent looking. Ap parently he knew places in the thicket into which he couhT dive and in doing so remained concealed for some timii from a pursuer. The gendarmes that Lol. Piequart met loined in the pur suit, but fleet running nndTnowledif,! of the locnlity enabled the would-be murderer to escape. M. Labori's talents ns a speaki r nru not of the highest order, but no other uembcr of the Paris bar knows bet ter how to use law to defeat Its ob ject. He can drive a motor car through the code. Until he pleaded for Zola his luck was uninterrupted. He then hail an attack of typhoid fever which greatly weakened him and forced him to neglect, business. The Zoln affair was a great advertise ment, but it brought him no direct profit and1 created for him endles enemies. He refused the handsome ee the novelist, offered, nor does he accept pecuniary reward from Drey fus. Lnbori, not long convalescent from typhoid fever. Is in n bad state to re ceive n ball entering ' the thorax .through the back. He is now in a )ilirh fever. The attempt made upon the life of jLnhnri was evidently the result of a plot. A letter was sent to the com missary of police warning him thnt, it was intended to make an attempt upon the life of Gen. Mercicr. Consequent ly the police nnd detectives surround ed the general and left the other prin cipals In the drama unprotected. The sitting of the court-martial wai adjourned for a short time yesterday o enable M. Deninnge to inquire nfter Labori's condition. During the pro ceedings pendisg the inquiry the Indies grew excited and communicated '.their nervousness to the gentlemen. An n precaution ngninst canes and parasols being used In n faction fight, n, gendarme was sent around to take them into his care. The court then entered. Col. Piequart ordered the confrontation of Cnsimir Pcrier and Gen. Mereier. These witnesses were more like a cat nnd a dog than before. T'crier spoke of himself only of .what he did nnd said when president, ne often snubbed Mereier verbally and by almost turning his back upon him. lie had little to say of the Drey fus affair. Gen. Mereier paid hiin in scratches that almost drew blood. Gen. liillot still believes Drey fus guilty, but gave no strong rea son. M. Caivngnae, former minister of war, was the next witness. It was Impossible, according to f. Cnvui'r nai to credit that Ksterhazy was i traitor, even admitting the bordereau was written by him. Ksterhazy, he insisted, could only have acted ns the Intermediary of nn accomplice. The inquiry of the court of cassation proved treason was really committed, nnd he. M. Caivngnae. hud not. based his conviction of the culpability of Dreyfus solely on the handwriting of the bordereau. ' Cien. rhniiolne, former minister of wnr, nnd M. Hnnotmix, former min ister of foreign affairs, also testified. Theri evidence was directed againrt Dreyfus, but contained little that was new. Then the court adjourned until AVednesdny.

Lloyds has re ceived a dispatch from Manila saying u I'nlted States government steamer Is ashore near the mouth of Corrcgi dor harbor, at the entrance to Mnniln lmy., The dispatch gives the vessel's name ns Smoker, which is an error in cabling. It is possible the steamer referred to is the United States cable ship Hooker. Imports and Exports for July. Washington, Aug. IS.

Naval Con structor itichmond Peurson Hobson wns heard from ,by the navy depart, ment yesterday for the first time at any length since he was assigned to duty In charge of the Spanish ships raised from Manila harbor and nowt undergoing! repairs at Hong Kong, His report is unusually interesting, dealing in general questions, such ua tho need of a large dockage in th Orient, the increasing shipping at Ma nlla and the prospect that Manila will succeed Hong Kong as the emporium of the east, the value of Chinese laBor in all branches of industry, etc. Ha also says the three Spanish ships which are completed will be worth to tho government about $010,000, and; he contemplates trying to raise three more Spanish vessels now at the bot tom of Manila bay. The letter is addressed to Hear Admiral Hichborm, chief of the Inirenu of construction, nnd Is dated nt Hong Kong, July 17, He says: "In compliance with the bureau's instructions I enclose a special report on the raising and repairing of the Spanish vessels sunk in Manila bay. The three vessels under reconstruc tion, the isle De Cuba. Isle lie Luzon nnd Don Juan De Austria, are at about equal stages of completion, which I estimate to be about R0 per cent, com pared with the vessels fitted out ready for sea. The batteries and electric plant, which have not arrived, will doubtless be the last, items. I esfi nuite that the time of completion will be about six weeks after the arrival of the armament and electric plant. "I estimate the value of these ves sels when completed, exclusive of ar mament, to be about as follows: Tsle De Cuba $'!1!,0l)0. Isle De Luzon 215, 000, "Don Juan De Austria $180,000. Total estimated value of nil three ves sels $fiio,nuo." He then shows thnt the raising of all three vessels had cost, about $104,000. making n net gain to the government on the three vessels of $:!(Mi,i)0. He gives the credit for this result to Naval Constructor Capps, who made the contracts. Mr. Hobson speaks of the general pood condition of the vessels and says: "This is particularly the case With parts that remained completely submerged. Thus the large engine jinrts were scarcely injured at all. This feature has an important bearing upon the wrecks still in Manila bay. wheh I expect to examine with divers iwhen the vessels now- in hand are coin Ipleted. The long period thnt, they have been Immersed may not have se riously injured the principal parts linn there may be similar advantage. to the government in further stilvnf, particularly as to the Don Antonio De T'llon and the Velusco, sister ships to the Don Juan De Austria, which, from all accounts, suffered less damage than those that have been raised. Mr. Hobson then urges the desir ability of a well equipped United Stntes dockyard in the fnr east, as, hu stirs, the cost of private work Is very high. ' BY CO-OPERATION. 'It Is Proposed to maintain Colonies '. . and Build t itles. Toledo, Aug. 15. The Tlrotherhood Compifny, incorporated Monday at Co. lumbus, has been organized for tha purpose ill placing in operation the greatest co-operative scheme ever at tempted in the country. Among those who are mentioned in the list of in corporators are Mayor Jones, of this city, nnd J. A. Johnson, a mllionaire of the state of Washington. The Brotherhood proposes to distribute stock over the country in small amounts, the Investors being fully protected by co-operative life insur ance. The plan includes n great amount of educational work, and it is pro posed to do much in the way of build ing cities and placing co-operative farming communities. In every place where the sentiment has developed fhe projectors propose building one of these colonies and it will be extended as the finances admit. The first of these colonies will be established on the shores of Lake F.rle. near this city, nnd It is understood that more than half the money required has been pledged by people of Toledo. A LOSS OF SEVEN MILLIONS. That's the Figure at Which Texas Floods are Computed to Have Cost the Farmer. Washington, Aug. 15. K. S. Holmes, nn expert of the statistical bureau ot the department, of agriculture, has, just completed a report to Chief Sta. list ic inn Hyde, of that, department, em bodying the results of n tour of the flood devastated region of Texas and making a careful estiinnte of the dam age done, the aggregate of which he places lit $7,414,000. The number of fafms submerged is estimated nt S.100, with n toful area of about l.SO.OOO acres. Of this area at the time of the flood there were nbout .103.000 acres under cultivation, with n total production in sight equivalent to about $7,0."0.000. Although nearly 00 per cent, of the total loss occurred In the destruction or injury to growing crops, the dam age to farm property and the losses of live stock, etc.. amount to $344,000. The land itself Is damaged by wash ing and $200,000, srilllvinir to the evtent of over i . 41." l , ",V bnt of this loss nbont hnlf is PI estimated as offset by the increased future productiveness resulting from the alluvial deposit left by the flooi,. mrltlnlejriU'lU Not Attend.

President McKinlcy will decline the invitation on the ground of pressure of 'public business.
