HAS A POOR_MEMORY
Agent Gregory Is Afflicted
With a Very Bad Loss of
Memory.
He Feels Sure That the Law
Has Been Violated. But
Couldn't Help It.
Congressman Mills a Very
Sick Man and Not Expect
ed to Live.
A Bill for the Promotion of
Army Officers-
ton News.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 24. — Agent
Gregory was cross-examined again to
day by .Senator Chandler. The witness
was suffering from nervous debility and
loss of memory, if not of manhood, and
uneasily answered the interrogations
assuring Chandler that all who have
testified contrary to his statements are
liars and villains. He cannot remem
ber why he annulled the Callihhan con
tracts and awarded them to .'Sherman,
Henry and Bergevine. He simply
knows that he is honest and meant to
do right, He signed many con
tracts without looking at them, merely
because the clerk placed them before
him. If anything is wrong it is the
fault of the clerk, lie believes the
Valley Lumber company is making
money, and that Sherman is not losing
anything, but knows absolutely noth
ing, lie is quite confident, almost cer
tain, that no one ever tried to corruptly
influence him in his approval of con
tracts. lie feels quite sure that law
and the president's order have
been violated this winter, but
has been powerless to prevent it.
Coffey. Dendmie, Pound, Callighan and
the Indians were present and interested.
Pound wrote a question for Chandler to
ask Gregory, but the senator crushed it
in his hand and seemed not to notice it.
Later he asked if Pound ever tried to
corruptly Influence Gregory in behalf of
Callighan and the witness promptly re
sponded "no." Mr. Gregory fell back
on his poor memory at least once every
five minutes during the two hours he
was ou the rack.
BATTLE AGAINST DEATH.
Congressman Mills In a Bad Con
dition and Not Expected to Live.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, March 24.— 1t is not
expected that Congressman Mills, of
Texas, will live. His physician, Dr.
Somers, claims that the fever was
broken early this evening and speaks
hopefully, but concedes that his lungs
are slightly congested. This concession
means mucn. air. Aims is in sixuetn
year, and although seemingly hearty,
belongs to a family to which
affections of the lungs and
consumption are not strangers, lie is
broad chested, with a short, thick neck,
like Chief Justice Waite— just the bulla
most pregnant with danger from such
attacks. Nothing but a miracle can
save him. Dr. Somers has turned over
his practice to his associates and re
mains with the distinguished sufferer.
This is a significant sign, it means
that nothing but strict attention, close
watching, prompt action and alert skill
can win his battle against death.
ARMY OFFICERS.
The Military Committee Presents
1 a Bill for Their Promotion.
Washington, March 24.— The bill
reported to the house to-day to provide
for the promotion of army officers below
the rank of brigadier general after
twenty years' continuous service in one
grade, was presented by the military
committee in lieu of several specific
bills providing for promotions in the
subsistence, paymaster and medical de
partments and In the line of the army.
One of these bills, that relating to the
ciiliaiatan/ta ilennvtnieiit was n:issed
by the senate a day or two ago.
lender the general bill reported
to-day, which the committee hope will
quiet the long-existing jealousies be
tween the line and stall, the subsistence
department will be stronger by a lieu
tenant-colonel and three majors than it
now is, and one major and four captains
will be promoted at once. The senate
bill, however, still further increased
this allowance by one colonel and three
lieutenant-colonels. Every effort was
made to get the house committee to ac
cept the senate bill, but at yesterday's
meeting this was refused and the orig
inal and general bill insisted upon. In
the report accompanying the hill the
committee says it believes that a general
law embracing the provisions ex
pected to be covered by the special hills
would result in Increasing the efficiency
of the army by removing the inequali
ties existing iii certain branches of the
service. As an instance of the unjust
operation of the present law the com
mittee points to the case of Capt. Gush
ing, of the subsistence department, who
in 1863 ranked many of the lieutenant
colonels and all hut eleven of the majors
now in the service outside of the sub
sistence department. lie has been a cap
tain nearly twenty six years and has seen
more than 200 officers, who were his
juniors in rank and service, promoted to
be majors. Quotations are made from
the Gen. Sheridan's letter, wherein he
says: "The promotion of men who have
stood in one grade for so many years
would benefit the service," and Secre
tary Endicott's letter asking speedy and
favorable consideration for the matter.
The committee says: "There are in
service to-day 1:2:1 officers below the
rank of colonel who have had from
twenty to twenty-live years' service un
der one commission. The increased cost
would be only about $00,000 per annum,
result in much good to the service and
relieve congress from the continual im
portunities and complaints that have
been made for years.
THE HOUSE. -
Proceedings Devoted to Business,
from the Judiciary Commit
tee.
Washington,. March 24.—Proceed
ings in the house of representatives to
day were devoted almost entirely to
business reported from the judiciary
committee. The bill to define and regu
late the jurisdiction of United States
courts was taken up in committee of the
whole early in the day and discussed
without action until the adjournment.
Mr. Stone, of Missouri, urged the neces
sity of separating the machinery of the
state courts entirely from that of the
federal courts. Mr.Weaver.of lowa, while
giving his adherence to most of the
features of the bill, opposed the provis
ion for the appointment of nine addi
tional circuit judges. He was in favor
of legislation which, instead of provid
ing for more judges, would tend to cur
tail the jurisdiction ofthe federal courts
and turn the business of the country
into the local tribunals. Mr. Anderson,
of lowa, declared himself as enough of
a states-rights man to be in favor of the
home courts in his own state, and to
be opposed to any law which in the re
motest degree had a tendency to increase
the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
Mr. Wilson, of Minnesota, spoke in ad
vocacy of a proposed amendment pro
viding that no corporation shall in any
suit to which it shall be a party be held
to be a citizen of any state other than .
that in which the suit is brought, be
cause it was organized under the laws
of such other state. Mr. Holman, of In
diana, predicted that if the bill were
passed in its present shape within five
years the business of the district courts
would require twice as many judges as
were needed at present. Mr. Culberson,
of Texas, while not expressing bis sym
pathy with the objects sought to be ac
complished by Mr. Wilson's amendment,
thought that it should not be incorpor
ated in a bill which proposed to re
organize the United States courts with
out extending or limiting their juris
diction. Mr. Bogers, of Arkansas, con
curred in this view, and hoped that the
bill would not be encumbered with any
affirmative legislation which did not
affect the simple reorganization of the
judicial system of the government.
Pending action the committee rose, and
the house at 4:35 p. m. adjourned.
A Proclaimed Meeting.
Dublin, March 24. The meeting an
nounced to be held at Youghal to-mor
row has been proclaimed. The town is
full of police. William O'Brien arrived
at Cork to-day and proceeded to
Youghal. He declared that the meeting
would be held. Before he left London
his friends advised him not to take a
return ticket, and he accordingly did
not.

THE GRANT-MDEAU HOW.
Col. Fred Grant Makes a Reply to Gen.
Badeau.
A PERSONAL DENUNCIATION.
4»
The Colonel Puts a Rather Different
Phase Upon the Whole
Matter. .
New Yobk, March 24.— C01. F. D.
Grant makes public to-night a very long
statement in reply to Gen. Adam Ba
deau's address to the American people
upon the controversy which has arisen
between Gen. Badeau and the family
of the late U. S. Grant as to the services
rendered by Gen. Badeau in connection
with the writing of the "Personal Me
moirs of U. S. Grant." Col. Grant says
that it is his last word in the matter prior
to the hearing of the case in court,
and that, for that reason he presents the
history of the case In extenso. Under
the circumstances, therefore, he goes
over much ground which has already
been covered by publication in daily
papers, and gives much space to corre
spondence participated in by himself
and the lawers in the case.chiefly in the
negotiations with a view to the settle
ment of the case without resort to the
courts; to personal denunciation of
Gen. Badeau, and to arguments
going to show that Gen. Badeau's
services were of a much less important
character than Badeau claims that they
were. In relation to the letter which
Gen. Badeau wrote to Gen. Grant, ask
ing compensation at the rate of $1,000
per month and 10 per cent of the profits
of the book, the answer to which was
his dismissal in a letter which Gen. Ba
deau attributes to Col. Grant, it being
in his handwriting with Gen. Giant's
autograph at the end, Col. Grant says:
"Gen. Badeau banded his cruel letter
of May i to Gen. Grant on the day
of its date in Mrs. Chant's presence,
but not in mine, and immediately left
the house, returning on the 4th. Gen.
Grant read it, and when 1 came in was
agitated and trembling. He unlocked
the drawer of a bureau, where lie had
placed it, and taking the letter out
handed it to me, saying: 'Bead this
and tell me what you think of it.' I
did read it and said that 1 thought it
despicable. My father then, without
any suggestions from me, began to
write the answer with his own hand,
being so weak that he could not write
more than a few lines without slopping,
lie answered one point after another and
gave me the sheets of his manuscript,
and, when he had finished, I copied
them and read the copy to him, he di
recting changes and corrections."
Col. Grant .adds that this demand of
Gen. Badeau was a source ot gnet ami |
annoyance to his father for the re
mainder of his life, and adds:
"As to the letter 'left by Gen. Grant
to be sent to Gen. Badeau under certain
conditions to which reference is made In
paragraph seventeen of the 'address,' it
has never been used with the authority
of my father's family as a threat. Its
proviso is not in the terms staled by
Gen. Badeau, nor is the paper such as
he has any right to demand. The letter
was written eleven days before my
father's death at a period of keen physi
cal suffering, and when the memory of
Gen. Badeau's letter of May 2d made
his mental anguish greater than that of
the body.
Col. Grant denies that his family pre
vented Webster & Co. from publishing
Gen. Badeau's book, and quotes a letter
from himself to that firm saying that
they should not consider [any supposed
objections of Mrs. Grant in the matter.
Further on. Col. Grant; aays:
"The statement of Gen. Badeau in the
twenty-first paragraph that 1 ever pro
posed that he should finish my father's
memoirs and let me sign my name to it
is an unqualified falsehood."
Again he says: "It cannot be too often
repeated that* had Gen. Badeau been
willing to accept the sum of £10,000 for
his services as an amanuensis upon the
first 421 pages, or about one-half of the
first volume of the Personal Memoirs,
as to which his services were rendered,
such as they were, he would have been
paid the full sum of $10,000."
In another place he says: "In the
twenty-seventh paragraph of his 'Ad
dress "to the American. People,' Gen.
Badeau states that Gen. Grant has con
fessed to putting his name unwittingly
to an important document. It is true
that Gen. Grant did sign a letter placed
before him with false representations
as to its contents. More than half his
life had been spent in executive posi
tions requiring him to entrust
matters of detail to subordinates,
and moreover trust was instinctive
to his loyal nature. He could not have
acted on broad lines during the strenu
ous times in which he played a con
spicuous part had he assumed ail cleri
cal duties of detail, and it became the
habit of his life to sign letters of routine .
which were submitted to him in num
bers upon a statement of their contents
by persons in whom he had confidence.
It is true that James 1). Fish relied
largely upon this letter to escape con
viction for his share of the frauds that
wrecked the Marine bank and the firm
of Grant & Ward. But Gen. Badeau
does not call attention to the fact that
his present counsel were the counsel for
Mr. Fish, that they proposed to post
pone criminal * trial of their
client on account of Gen. Grant's
condition ; that the newspapers
were filled with ambiguous givings-out
—I do not mean to say by those gentle
men—that letters were in existence
which would seriously compromise
Gen. Grant, but that my father's answer
was to cause those letters to be pub
lished, to insist that the trial should not
be postponed on his account, and to go
forward to meet the implied imputation
on his honor."
The remainder of the statement is de
voted chielly to correspondence in the
negotiation for a settlement, and. in one
of his letters to an attorney in the case/
he.said that three courses were open to
Gen. Badeau to get his money:. First,
to sign a paper disclaiming any of the
credit for Gen. Grant's book; second,
to sue for his claims in the courts
third, to arbitrate the matter.
An agreement to settle for $8,000 was
reached at one time, but. failed of rati
fication because of a disagreement as to
the form of disclaimer of authorship.
Col. Grant declares that the only aim
of the family has been to preserve the
fair fame of" Gen. Grant as the author of
his own book, and that the matter of
compensation to Gen. Badeau cuts no
figure in the matter. ' .'-' : ''.;'

of Germany is stricken with mortal dis
ease is acknowledged by all parties to
be a strong factor in the success or fail
ure of Mr. Goscheu's scheme for the
conversion of the public debt of Great
Britain, which will undoubtedly pass
both houses of parliament with little or
no alteration of the original bill. Asa
general rule it may lie said that con
tinual anxieties tend to confirm the po
sition .of British funds and the
chancellor of the exchequer, who is cer
tainly well acquainted with the lines of
financial thought in Berlin, is of this
opinion. On the other hand, it is argued
that the present anxiety regarding Ger
many is an exceptional one to any that
has hitherto influenced Europe. Em
peror Frederick is an invalid whose
restoration to health and work is hardly
regarded as possible. The power which
has developed upon him, he may at any
time be incapacitated from wielding,
and the leadership of Germany pass
from one of the wisest of men to a young
prince who has hitherto been known
as the representative of passion and
prejudice. The relation's of Germany
with at least two of her neighbors can
be kept friendly only by a rare combi
nation of decision] and insight. Perhaps,
indeed, they cannot be maintained
UPON PEACEFUL TEIt.MK.
The internal affairs of Germany are
full of pitfalls. There are ambitious
German princes who are not Prussians
and whose respect for Emperor Freder
ick will go with him to the grave. The
government of Alsace is a thorny prob
lem which all the astuteness of Prince
Bismarck has only complicated. The
Poles in the east are the counterpart of
the Protesters m the west. The Social
ist legislation of the chancellor has
made a Liberal regime for years to come
well nigh impossible. Last, but not
least, the most highly educated
people in Europe is given
over to the domination' of a mili
tary caste. These are some of the diffi
culties that beset the path of Emperor
Frederick, and in facing these grave re
sponsibilities he is terribly handicapped.
Intelligent, upright and conscientious,
he enjoys the respect and affection of
all who know him. If any man could
steer Germany through the breakers
that are assuredly ahead of her, it would
be • the Emperor Frederick. But by
what appears to be the cruelty of fate
the one man most needed has been for
some months dangerously ill, and it is
still ait open question whether his re
covery is possible.
THE SOUDAN DIFFICULTY.
Just previous to starting on the Emm
Bey. expedition Mr. Stanley gave Lord
Salisbury the following piece of advice
regarding the settlement of the Soudan
difficulty: -"You must get rid of the
notion that you are going to do every
thing with the rifle, Upon the Congo
we subsidize 450 chiefs. Men won't
quarrel with you for making monthly
payments to them and asking nothing
in return. ' At least, 1 have never met a
chief who has done so." This informa
tion, at the time, was received with in
credulity, but since the recent bold
attacks of Osman Digna w upon
Suakim, it has dawned * \ upon
the British government that the
advice is worth heeding. It is now
learned that Lord Salisbury has com
menced negotiations with Osman Digna
to get rid of these everlasting.'demon
strations against Suakim. It is con
tended that the object is to provide
Osman Digna and his tribesmen with a
sufficient inducement to give up hank
ering after the slave trade, and instead
Of fighting him the British government
will try subsidizing him. The method
has tamed Tippoo Tib, who in his day
was quite as unmanageable and trucu
lent a person, and it is believed it would
tame Osman Digna. Suakim has been
retained mainly for two reasons— as a
CHECK UPON THE SLAVE TKADE,
which otherwise would undoubtedly use
that port, and by way of keeping some
kind of a hold upon the overland route
to Berber. Aside from the slave, trad
ing, it would be for the interest of
Osman Digna, and indeed every one
living in that part of the world, that j
Suakim should be in the hands of some
civilized power. The legitimate indus
try of these people is, or used to be, the
carrying of trade between Suakim and
Berber, and clearly under ordinary cir
cumstances there would be much more
to carry if Suakim were held
by England or even Egypt than
if it were Osman Digna's capital.
A few subsidies would open the
road to Berber and here is the chief
point. If the region of the great lakes
can once be tapped and regular commu
nication ensured with it by way of the
Upper Nile, Khartoum and Berber will
be won back to civilization. But once
this traffic has been established, the
question of quitting the Nile at Berber
and taking the short cut to the sea, so
as to avoid the great bend by Aboo
Ilamed, and the difficult navigation
from Dongolo to Assouan will become
of urgent practical importance, and
Suakim will be seen to have been worth
the price. :}
IX IS ALSO CONTENDED
that such action on the part of the Brit
ish government will, if his expedition
has not met with grave disaster, greatly
aid Mr. Stanley's designs in the Congo
country. The statement that Mr. Stan
ley, reinforced by Lupton Bey, who is
represented as still governing his prov
ince, is probably engaged in completing
Gordon's work of putting down the
Soudanese slave trade, is regarded as
altogether illusory by his friends in
London. In the first place there
is reason to believe that Lupton
Bey is working as a blacKsmith in Khar
toum. In the second, those who know
Mr. Stanley best are under the impres
sion that should he undertake any sen
sational exploit after relieving Emm
Pasha, he will proceed to Khartoum to
ascertain the exact situation there. But
in truth there are few of Mr. Stanley's
friends who believe that if he has not
been killed by the Arabs he is engaged
in anything more remarkable than pre
paring for the safety of the new terri
tories of the British East African asso
ciation. yyyyy'":yyy'''
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL.
Politicians who have closely studied
all the details of the local government
bill have now come to the conclusion
that the measure is intended as a strong
political card, and that Lord Salisbury
contemplates a coup d'etat, having, for
its object the dishing of Mr. Gladstone
and also the government's : Liberal
Unionist allies. It is known that for
some time the government has been
hanging on, as it were, by their . very
teeth, owing to dissensions in the
Conservative ranks and those "of
their Unionist allies, ' the chief diffi
culty with the former being complaints
of conservatives of life long allegiance ;
had Lord Salisbury conceded too. much'
to the Unionists. The last concession—
the local government bill— which was
undoubtedly prepared by the leaders of
the dissidents, will ' now be used to
wipe them - out of . existence 'as, in the
event of another election the Liberal
unionists will have to ' face their con
stituents either as others or Liberal s, or
meet defeat. In is certain that as Lib
eral unionists : they will - receive :no as
sistance . from the Tories, and '_, it is
equally certain that under such contin
gencies the ; Liberals will also reject
them; Both - great parties will bring
forward candidates in every constitu
ency where there is the least chance of
winning. TheJTories believe they can
CARRY VERY NEARLY- ALL - TSW"
the Liberal Unionists with the reform
measures promised in the local govern
ment bill, which they claim as their
own, but which, it is alleged, they have
no intention of allowing to become a
law. A member of the government
confessed on Friday to some ddubt
whether the measure would find' its
way into law at all this session in view
of the multitudious diversities of opin
ion which have arisen ou its details.
"But," he added, we shall > get
the principle debated in any
case." Such skepticism as to 'the
prospects of the measure is not rare
among tlie experienced members of Ithe
house. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parhell
have become exceedingly suspicious of
the goverment's intentions reparding
the bill. They will employ all their
parliamentary skill in pushing forward
the measure and do nothing with any
ulterior object which the Tories may
have in view. . The leaders of the oppo
sition admit that the local government
bill would strongly influence the En
glish constituencies in case of a disso
lution, and that Sherwood parliament
ary tactics will have to be employed to
PREVENT I.OKI) SALISBURY
from riding for a fall until it can be
shown by a slip here and there during
the discussions in the house that the
measure was intended solely to hood
wink the English Democracy in order
to return the Tory government to power
with a good working majority without
the Unionists. The report is current
to-day that Count Herbert yon Bis
marck, in his communications
with Lord Salisbury, has en
deavored to smooth the way for
some satisfaction in Bulgaria to the
amour propre of Bussia, a policy which
formed the key-note of Prince Bis
marck's recent address.

W. D. Harford elected temporary secre

proposition that he would lease to the

DESCRIPTION,
No woman that lays any claim to Rood
housekeeping can afford to get along
without a Paragon Steam Cooker. It keeps
all the smell and steam out of the rooms.
The disagreeable smell of boiling corned
beef ami cabbage, onions, etc., can be
done away with.
The Paragon Cooker has the advantage
of boiling and steaming at the same time;
in the upper part is a steamer, which can
be put on or taken off at any lime, just the
same as any ordinary steamer. Tints,
while boiling in the • lower part of the
Cooker, the steam rises and passes around
and through the steamer, and steams the
pudding, potatoes, or whatever is placed
in it. • .. .
IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT
That Food Cooked by Steam is More
Palatable, Easier to Digest, and
more A'curishing than by
any other Method.

BABY CARRIAGES!
SOLE AGENTS FOR
THE THREE BEST MAKES.
In former years, while selling: about twice as many Baby
Carriages as all other city dealers "put together," we have
always showed this line on the second floor. This year we
display on our GROUND FLOOR over
200 DIFFERENT STYLES.
It is well known that the largest buyer (in any line) «rets
the LOWEST PRICES. We buy for TWO stores, consequently
we get prices that enable us to retail Carriages at less money
than the so-called wholesale dealers are obliged to pay.
NO EXTRA CHARGE.
We give you your choice of Wood or Steel Wheels at
same price.
We make no extra charge for the Novelty Spring.
One look at our line would convince you that we heat the
world
