LIGHT BATlBRf IN THE INDIAN WAR. are met promptly and effectively by the bank of England and tho bank of France, at the solicitation of the financial heads of the respective governments, we in this country are prepared to act promptly and quite as effectively through the Now York associated banks, which in 1873, in 1884 aud again in 1800 consolidated all their available assets and formed an impone trable bulwark, which was effectivo in checking the spread of the panio and in speodily restoring confidence. Our associated banks altogether havo $00,572,700 capital anil $03,237,900 surplus, or a total of $123,810,600. This fact of itself is sufficient to restore confidence.

Tho availablo cash in these banks i3 about $112,000, 000 and even during the panio last year it did not run down to $00,000,000. But any deficiency could have boeu met by tho issuo of certificates representing 75 per cent, of tho loans, which thon amounted to nearly $400,000,000, so that tho provision waB amplo to meet any emergency. Exchango has boon Btrong this week, and an advance from $4.86 to $4.87 for long aud from $4.80 to for Bhort in consequence of a scarcity of billB and a demand for remittances. Gold bars to the amount of $1,000,000 were applied for on Tuesday, but late in tho afternoon the treasury department refined to deliver them in exchange for coin even at 40 cents per $1,000. The shipper were, therefore, obliged to accept tho coin and the shipment was mado on Wednesday.

This is the first timo that gold bars havo been refused when application has beeu mado for them. Tho effect upon tho exchange market was to advance the rates for eight to $4.506 and rates for actual business were at figures whioh mado it profitable to ship gold coin. Thoro was a further export of $2,275,000 coin made by tho steamer sailing for Europe to day and, as waB tho caso on Wednesday, shippers had to accept an asBortmout of double eagles, eagles and half oaglcB. Money on call loaned at 2 per cent, this week. Time loans are 4H per cent, for sixty days and 5 for three to six months, and commercial papor is 5 per cent, for sixty to ninety days indorsed bills receivable; 5Mi and 6 for four months acceptances, and 0 and 7 for good single namos having from four to six months to run.

The following tablo shows tho course of tho stock market for the week ending Saturday March 21: der yay. It is impossible, however, to tliscovor anything definite about it, but once in a while a cloae bbaorver of the local market can see indications of something important that, perhaps, is going on far beneath the surface. Such an indication ia it, for instance, when it is learned vaguely that a large local firm of brokers haa been quiotly gathering in and even more quietly die posing of very largo blooks of railroad securities, both 'stocks There is something in theno transactions which appears as though they wera not tho casual transactions of business. They appear to have been procured in the fur theranco of Bome formulated plan. Where they go no one can toll or will tell.

The reason why gas stocks have been so low for the past aix months is explained now. This has been a puzzle to investors, who have not been able to understand why a 10 per cent, stock like the Fnltoa municipal has stuck so closely to 130, an 8 per cent, security like the Brooklyn has Bold so frequently for 117 and a 6 per cent, stock like the People's should have sold often below 90. It is now known that some of the men on the inside of tho gas business have been selling out their holdings very quiotly but very successfully. Thoy did this because they wore the only ones that knew of the peculiar rider that was tacked to the land transportation bill that was passed laat year after the bill reducing the price of gas from $1.00 to $1.00 a thousand cubic feet had been passed. This rider, either throagh mistake or otherwise, enacted that after Mayl the price of gas in this city Bhall be $1.25.

Two days nfter Governor Hill signed the previous bill he signed this and it became a law, escaping tho attention of tho newspapers and of everybody unless it were the gas men. Ths year Assemblyman Cooney has introduced a bill, which progressed during the week to tbe order of second reading, to fix thopriooof gas at $1.50 a thousand feet not $1.60, as all tbe Albany dispatches have said, and as a morning paper has reiterated day after day, although asked tojoorrect its mistake. General Jourdan, the president of tho Fulton municipal gas light company, said yesterday "This bill is merely to correct an error made last year. It is fair to all conoerned, for it never was the intention of the legislature to make $1.25 tbe price in Brooklyn. In all my experience I never mot anyone who did not concede that the Brooklyn companies should De allowed to charge 25 oenta a thousand more tham the New York companies, because of the additional piping and the more scattered custom of the former." General Jourdan ascribed the low price of gas stocks to tbe unsettled feeling and the fear that tho competition of electricity might make the gas companies reduce their dividonds.

During the week some small lots of gas stook sold at comparatively high pricea at auction Brooklyn bought 123, while the last previous sale was 117: Fulton mtmioipal, 133MS, while a sale the week before was at 129J4; Metropolitan 100H and Williamsburgh 132. There was a private sale of People's at 88. Trnst companies' stocks have been practically dead. Only ono transaction has been spoken about, but that is a very large one. On Tuesday General C.

T. Christensen, president of tho Brooklyn trust company, gave his cheek for $100,000 to the executors of tho estato of the late E. W. Corlies, formerly vice president of the company, for 200 shares of its stook. This was at tho rato of 500 a Bhare.

The contract for this purchase was made last Soptember. A small lot of the same steck sold for 480. People's is offered for 203, Kings county for 170, Nassau for 160. The Franklin trust company will commenoe bmlding before May 1 on tho ground it purchased a year ago on the corner of Montague and Clinton streets and hopes to occupy it a year later. A safe deposit company will ocoupy the basement of the building.

Beiide the stocks already mentioned as having been sold at Mullor's thirty two sharea of the Long Island bank brought 146. and $3,000 Brooklyn and Brighton Beach 5 per cent, bonds with the March coupon attached Drought 74MS. At Harnett's Hale tho day before 2,600 shares of the South Brooklyn dock and warehouse company sold for $500 to $950 for $100. Of tho firrit mortgage 6 per cent, bonds $185,000 sold at 75. Park sevens to tho amount of $20,000 wero sold at 165 during the week.

The Brooklyn City Railroad Company's Bond Issue. Atlantic Avenue Railroad Finances Union Ferry Matters A l'osslblo Complication in Gas Tuvoush. Last Year's Legislation Gossip for Investors. The statement in last Sunday's article that the Brooklyn city railroad oompany was contemplating some plan by whioh money for the adoption of electricity as a motor power could bo raised, naturally aroused much interest on Montague street. Some people carelessly read the article and thought that it said absolutely that bonds to the amonnt of $6,000,000 would be insned for this purpose and to take up the $1, BOO, 000 of bonds whioh becomo due next January.

No such thing was stated, and the issuo of bonds was merely referred to as something under consideration. The article, indeed, was careful not to make any positive statement, but, on tho other hand, said that "the plan is, of course, as yet inchoate and unsettled, so that nothing dofinite or official can De stated." The issue of bonds was spoken of as one plan, and, in the same way, another plan that is being considered will be referred to to day. This is to increase the capital stock, instead of issuing bonds. Tho amount spokou of is $10,000,000, instead of the present capitalization'of $6,000, 000. This plan ia very favorably thought of by many stockholders and directors.

One well known broker, who is, as well, a stockholder in tho company, aaid that it would bo much wiser to increase tho capital stock than to 1 i fin. i.ii i I 10BUU uuuus. xiie latter wuulu invuivo jumu Vnie" onarges tnat worn nave to ue met, or me viiBiigtj mai seoureu mo uuuu nnuiu uu If the extra stook were issued and the eajmiflgs of the company did not justify a divi uokiu none neeu oe pam until tuo roau euru lngunonoy again. It would be much bettor, he thought, to authorize the inorease of capitalization $nt to leave to tho directors tho option of issaink the extra amount or not as oiroumstanoes mightV.diotate. If tho oorcpany was not permitted to use eleotrioity then tho stook need not be isBuetl.

Such action, he said, would have tbe advantages that issuing bonds would havo. beside the vetry great advantages that an increase of stock has. If such a course is taken the stock may possibly go down, as it did in 1880, when authority was given to increase the capital from $3,200,000 to $11,000,000. Khon it dropped from 176 to 150. When tho nevltock came out it sold for 125 and from there oli Aod gradually to 180.

That was its figuro two weeks ago. Now it is of ferod for 170 a'H it could, pcrhapB, be bought two points loweim At Muller'B auction salo on Wednesday 100 res were put up and were bid in for 165. On Tuesday holders of tho ion at 3 o'clock tho stock avenuo railroad com pany will meet to croasing the capita ider the question of in ik of the company from $1,000,000 to $2,0, 0. This mcreaa.p cording to the reaol bv the fcrs on February 10, to the Btoa'j ik held byVfira, at iu amounts equal ti par. The money thi fill be uaedjoia far as necessary, in the recoul of the corn motive power pany'a roads and in ohan from horses to electricity.

crease will un doubtedly be authorized. This proposed aotion good ef feet upon the stock. A go a large lot cold for 115, whilo it was 125. The chances seem to bk as tho Eagle said during tho week, that the commissioners of the (linking fund of Now York will not grant the application of tho Union ferry company to abolish the commutation hours en tho South and Hamilton ferrieB. The sinking fufcd commissionera are divided by politics and it is not improbable that this plays an important part iu the gme.

The board will meet on Wednesday to oonaider tlio matter and also the franchise of tho Twenty third street ferry and tfce'i Greenpoint ferries, whioh also expire on May l.l A Btatement was made yesterday by a Union ferry stockholder which contains seme interesting information. He said: "It haa been stated that the appraisal of the property of the Union ferry fcompauy shows it to be worth 30 cents on the $1 6nly. This'is wrong, even if the information oarno from bntroller Myer's office. I am not at liberty to elite what the valuation agreed upon is. bht lean ship you a way to figure it out bo that it will not be so flagrant a mistake as that.

Tho property sold at auction last September for $3,250,000. There is lieside a BurpluB of $600,000 in the treasury of the oompany. You can figure from this. It may interest you to know that we havo effected a saving by retrenchment and business management of $100,000 a year. This is exactly the amonnt which wo pay as interest upon thit $2,000,000 of bonds which were issued." This statement is important, indeed, containing as it does an authoritative statement of the surplus of tho company and its earnings.

With such figures tho valuo of the stock would be the auction price of $3,250,000, with the $800,000 surplus addod. From this tho $2,000,000 of bonds must be deducted, and the amount left would be equal to G19fi for each sliaro the $3,000,000 capitalization. If the retrenchments equal tho' interest on the bonds, the oompany must earn as mueh on the stock now ae under tho old management. That was 5 per cent, on a capitalization of $1,000,000. Undet the present capitalization it would be lonly l9fi per and not onongh for a dividend.

If a Buccessful competitor would have to tako tbe property of the present company and pay 60 for it, it ia safe to say tJhat there will be no competitor. In that case the company will be able to reduce the rental fromlisjpor cent, of tho gross receipts to something considerably lower. Therefore, whether the sinking fund commissioners grant or refuse thi propo sition now before them, the company is in a fair way to increase its profits in one way or the other. Very littlo stock of this company has been on tho market during the week. Tho lots that wero transferred brought 42)4 43 and 43J6.

An present prices, 96 to 08, there is a strong demand for the bonds. Tho highest sale of these haa been 98. The reason that these apparently firat tyasa 5 per cent, bonds do not aell higher is probibly becauso the mombora of the original syndicatfe, as a rule, sold tho bonds, thus getting back the money they put iu. They have held the toe It as a rule, and in many cases have largely increased their holdings. The stockholders of tho Brooklyn and Boak away Beach railroad company will meet in Wedneaclay at 3 o'clock.

The object of the meeting ia to consider a recommendation mado tho board of directors that a mortgage be issued! and bonds issued to the amount of upon tho property of tho company. This money! ia needed to carry out the projected plans for the) extension and better equipment of the road. 1 This is the road acquired last yoar by a syndi cato consisting of Cyrus E. Staples, Harry AdaniH. General Jourdun and others.

General Jourdan told the writer the other day what improvements are contemplated. "Our success last year was so encouraging," he said, "that we deteriuiued to improvo ourproper ty and to make it a resort in itself and not meroly a Btopping place on the way to Rockaway Beach. The $350,000 of bonds will be a second mortgage, but will ultimately become a first mortgage, as it will be used to retire the $58,000 first mortgage bonds and the $9,000 inoomo bonds. With the money that remains we contemplate many improveftents. Two new steamboats will be bought.

The road will be made double track from end to end and new rolling stock will bo purchased. Extra terminal facilities will be acquired in East New York and those at Canarsio remodeled. At Canarsio two or three additionaf buildings will be nut up. one a large two story amusement hall. Marsh land will be filled iu and a driveway will be built from Rockaway avenue to our property.

Sheds and Btablos will be put up and a music stand. We will also increase our docks." The writer crossod tho ferry the other day with one of the directors of the Hamilton trust company, that new banking organization which for more than two mouths has fiadits money paid iu and been ready for business, but that has been unablo to commence. The offices which the com pany will occupy in tho real ostate exchange building, which is now being put up on Montague street, are only fitted out with a canvas sign as yet. The director aaid "Tho exchange people oromiaed to push the work on our offices 60 that they would bo completed by April 1. They haven't done so, but I hope that we shall be able to open up on May 1.

That extra month is too short for us to go into temporary quarters, but I am BUre that we would have done so if wo had known how long it was to tako to get into onr permanent office." Fifty shares of this Block were offered yesterday at 100. It is probablo that there ia sotno large and important movement in local railroad matters un to I.CBD groat" An Active Speculation. Followed, by a Dull Market. Course of Prices This Week The Holdings of Argentine Securities In Great Britain Honey Easy Exchange Stronger and Bankers Forced Ship Gold Coin. Wall btheet, Saturday ovenine, March 21.

Tho stock market was aotlvs early thiB week, but as Boon as the short interest in a few specialties was closed out there came a reaction followed by a doll speonlation. On Monday tho improved foefinc in London, aa shown by tho early cables, caused the market to open strong and there was apparently eood buyiug of St. Paul, tho other grangers, LouisTillo and Nash Tillo and the saaar stocks in the early trade. Then came a dull market followed by a heavy tone, and the tendency wub Gradually downward for tho remainder of the moraine. Eome, Watertown and Ocdonsburp; opened at a decided advance on tho announcement of a stock dividend of 20 per preparatory to a lease to tho New York Central, but after the early dealinRs speculation in it subsidod.

In the afternoon about the only feature was a fractional rise in New York, Ontario aud Western on a report that the Vanderbilts had increased their holdings of the stock aud that the Canadian Pa. ciflc managers were desirous of enjoying closor relations with this road. Toward tho delivery hour there was an advance iu the Gould specialties and in the grangers which stimulated buying of the whole list and the market was very strong to tho olose. On Tuesday the feature at the opening was a sharp rise in Now York, Ontario and Western, based upon a conference between Mr. Depew and the president of the road, which was supposed to mean something of advantage to the stockholders.

There was a gradual improvement in the grangers and the whole list waB strong during the first half hour. Then camo news that $1,000,000 gold bad been engaged for shipment to Europe. This served to check tho advancing tendency and thero was a heavy tone for tho next hour, but tho markot was steady after 11:30 on a limited volume of business. Early in tho afternoon there w.ib a further rise in New York.Ontario and Wostorn.followed by a dull speculation, which continuod until 2, when good buying of the grangers, Lackawanna and New England made tho whole list active and strong, aud it closed so. By Wednesday morning it was ascertained that tho upward movement of tho day before was mainly due to a covering of short contracts.

Tho seorotary of the treasury had refused to exchange gold barB for gold coin, thereby compelling shippers to export the latter and it was made known that, the oonfer enoe with the oresidont of tho New York, Ontario and WeBtern reforred simply to a traffic arrangement. The feeling was inclined to be benrish and tho tono was generally heavy after 10:30. In the afternoon tho speculation was dull and almost without feature until tho final dealings when the tono grew stronger, although tho trading was light. On Thursday tho movement was sluggish until about 11, when there was a littlo more aotivity, with a downward tendency. In tho af toruoon the market was very qniet and tho trading was hold in cheok by the prospect that mora gold would be shipped to Enrope.

The tono was steady at tho close. Nowb that about $1,625,000 gold would be shipped to day and the announcement of the failure of tho Keystone national bank of Philadelphia tonded to make tho market dull and heavy on Friday, but it closed a little firmor. This morning the market was generally stronger, with a rise in Now York, Ontari and Western as tho feature, and it closod steady.

F. Trust Lako Shore Louis NARh Rook Wand 1M St Paul Nat Lead Trust lllnion Pun tLZ NYCentral fclWabaeh ti The oable has this week reported a recurrence of tho unsettled feeling in London, this timo caused by the embarassments of Sluriotta which house has boon assisted over the periodical settlements ever since last Soptember. Tho house must uavt been heavily leadod at the outset with low graa'e securities, otherwise with the assistance which has been afforded it ought to have got in good Bhapo by this time. Tho cable says that tho government rolioved it by purchasing 100,000 in consols. This report needs explanation.

It is inconceivable that any house should ask the government to buy from it British consols, for these aro always salable and hava a steady market value. The same cable also says that the bank of England camo tcy'X assistance to a similar extent. And yet the i'j or the housonvero in such a tangled con. ftribn that failure was only averted at the last moment by the aid of the bank of France, A case of prolonged liquidation snch as this must be very serious and the amount involved unusually large to cauBO uneasiness in London now.but tho reason probably is that other houses would be affected by the failure. Tho London Statist has a table showing the depreciation in Argentine government, provincial and municipal loans during tho last two years.

This table embraces only tho securities listed on tho London ex chance and it does not include the cedulas. Tho nominal price at which these securities were issued was 45,387,000. The highest valuo rendered by them in 1889 was 44,435,641, showing that thoy never sold at an average of par. Tho lowest value thus far this year was 24,411,757, indicating a depreciation of 20,023,884. Including the Buenos Ayro water works, the French and Belgian issues for railway purposes and sundry miscellaneou securities, exclusive of cedulas, tho shrinkage in market value in two years is not far from 60, 000,000.

equal to, say $300,000,000. It is no wonder that the Euglish investing and speculating public feel poor after sustaining such enormous losses. And the worst feature about it all is that under the terms of the guaranty of the Baring affairs three years can be consumed in liquidating the affairs of this houso alone and it is probable that Dy tho end of that period there will be found little appreciation in the valuo of the property. The Argentine government is now rolling up new debts, committing itself to a loan of $100,000,000, for which it will get only $75,000,000, and in order to float this loan tho government has beeu obliged to abandon financial measures which might have afforded more or less permanent relief. It would aeem to bo bettor thoroughly to reorganize the finances of tlio county, cut down the debt to the lowest possible limit, reduce the interest charges to such a figure as to make pay ment of them possible and then start on a sound basis.

But probably tho reason why this course is not taken is that by thus cutting down tho debt and scaling the interest, enormous sacrifices would have to be mado by presont holders of the securities in Great Britain and on the continent, and these might bo ruinous to other in. forests. The courso pursued by tho bank of England in tho case of the Barings, aud br tho bank of France in the more recent affair of the societe ties depots ot comptos courants has been effective mainly becauso of the siinplo guaranty of these institutions. They made advances to a certain extent, it is true, but they had as security tho very choicest assets that could bo furnished. These institutions had monoy and unlimited credit.

They somowhat sparingly disbursed tho former and liberally extended tho latter and under 110 circumstances can they sustain any loss. It wan necessary, however, for tfie bank of England to act promptly in tho case of the Barings, for bad there been any delay or hesitation almost every financial houso in Great Britain would have been compelled to suspend temporarily at least. The ltnoivledgo of this fact induced tho large houses of London to unito with the bank of England and form the syndioato for the voluntary liquidation of tho Barings. In tbe recent case of the societe des dopots et comptes conrants the bank of Franco at first refused to make tho advance without guaranty, but when this was furnished by a syndicate of strong honsos tho advance was mado, secured by amplo It is not likoly that the collapse of the 60cieto would have caused a very serious panic, but it would doubtless havo embarrassed houses dealing in Argentines on tho continent aud in London, and it might have resulted in many failures. Therefore it was probably doomed wise to pursue suoh a conrie as would soonest restore confidence.

This was done and the excitement soon subsided. While emergencies such as these Plans for the New Montague Street Offices. Remodeling the Old United States Court Building to Accommodate the BI Corporation. Features of the Dcsisn Adopted Many Jlod crn Improvements. Before tho next wintor season Beta in the Brooklyn oity railroad company's officer and office employes will have deserted their old time quarters on lower Fulton street, opposite the ferry, and installed tbennelves in commodious apartments uptown, and a very handsome office building will have been addod to those available, within easy access of the city and county buildings and the railroads that convergo near tho city hall.

The new property is that known as tho old United Stltea court building, on Montague and Clinton streets. It was purchased by tho railroad company May 1. 1800, from the McCtie estate, for 1200,000. Tho plot is in too shape of an I OITY RAILROAD BUILDINO. extending fifty feet on Slontasuo street, 100 feet on Clinton street and with a sour reaching 100 feet to Itemson street, with a frontago of 25 feet on that thoroughfare.

Tho spur is occupied by a dwelling house. It will not bo built upon by the company. The Unitod States court briilding on Montague street was originally two dwelling houses. It was altered to its present condition twenty years ago. The city road will now make it over anew at an exponso of $80,000.

Messrs. Ross Marvin, architects, of S3 Broadway, New York, have made the plans and will superintend the construction. The plan and construction drawings are so worked out that the on tire interior will be taken oat and a new building inside tho old walls constructed to meet tho wantB of the Oity road and its tenants. Tbi3 is to be dona by means of independent construction, all the floors boing carried on iron beams, girders and oast iron oolumns down to the foundations intheoellar. Tins construction is calculated to be strong enough to admit at any future time of tho erection of four additional stories, tho whole building being fireproof.

The present walls will be relieved of all the floor loads and weight upon them. The present French roof is to be taken off and two additional stories of brick put on. Tho entire appearance of tho Montague and Clinton street facades will be changed architecturally, by tho addition on Montague street of a largo on trance porch, yellow brisk walls abovo the present ones trimmed with iron to correspond with the presont wiudowB and an effective cornice and ontablature crowning the whole height. Tho present briok work will be painted to correspond with the color and joints of the new brick work of tho superstructure, which wilt be of old gold or Pompeiian PertU Amboy brick 12x1 iuches. The entire iron work, including tho cornice, window frames, and porch work will be painted to resemble Ohio stone, forming a har mouions contrast with tho brick work.

Tho whole will form a light, imposing and effectivo Btructure. The height will bo 70 foot. It is intended in tho future to remove the present walla and erect new onos for a ten story building. All this tho architects have worked out oarofnlly by making a oomploto building in the interior, so that when tho walls are taken down the whole interior stractnre will remain intact, forming, as it will, a etructuro of iron oomploto in itself, tiod through and through. The cellar ia laid out for all the requirements of a buildincr to bo of a future height of ten stories.

The boiler vaults will bo in a convenient position in front and tho plumbing will bo bo arranged as to bo convenient to tho sewers and eitra largo areas will be built on the front and sides, giving ample light and air throughout the cellar. Space has been set apart for dynamos if tho company decides to supply its own electric light. There ia ample coal and storo room. The interior light court, 37x12 feet, extends down to the cellar floor, thns affordisg additional light in the collar. Tho oellar floor is lowered fourteen inches and ooncroted.

Tho ontranoe to it will be from the basement and from the outside. A toilet room for tho engineer and workmen completes the arrangement of tho eellar. Tho basement will be arranged to unit the convenience of tho Amovican district telegraph company, which haB taken a loase of the place for five years and will occupy temporary quarters, ponding the completion of the alterations. There will be a public hallway through the basement from Mnntaguo street to reach tho elevator and tho staircases on the light court. There will bo sevoral entrances on Clinton and Mbntaguo streots for tho telegraph company.

The principal ontranoe to the first floor will bo on Montague street, by means of an imposing porch and 14 feat widj. The stops and platform wiil be of patent cement lights. The grand vestibule floor will bo richly worked out in mosaic marble, the ceiling domed and decorated with uiosaio patterns and the walls of Nu midian marble. Prom this vestibule the president's office will be reached from tho right and tho division department of the company on tho left. Directly in the con tor will be tho principal hallway for tho first story.

The halfway and vestibule wiil be decorated architecturally by meaus of uilasters and arches with handsome caps, bases and paneling. The floor of the hall will be in mosaic, and the walls will be tinted in rich colors. The coiling will bj worked out in symmetrical paneling. Tho president's private otliue will be reached from tho hallway on the right, whoro access will also ba afforded to a public reception from which the president's office opens on the right, and that of the secretary on tho left. The secretary's office will connect with the large main offico of the company occupying the entire rear for the use of clerks, receivers, etc.

There wili be an entraneo from tho hallway to tho main office. Opening out of this department will boa vault ll'AQ'A feet, extending from the cellar up three stories. There will be an inside entrance to the vauU below. The vauU will be built with masonry two l'uot thick and an inner skin of steel an inch thick. Itwillhavo proper rucks, shelves, compartments, etc.

On the left of the hallway, on thu first story in front, will be tho superintendent's office and the office of the division superintendents. In the center of the hallway, on the light court, are the staircases and elevator. The stairs will havo sl.ito treadB and perforated risers.

Not Campaign of Pillage and Destruction, but a Jlnrvelously Well SInnnsed Military Maneuver Personal Traits of tho Brave Commander. Colonel William Hemstreet spoke interestingly at the Montauk club last night of General Sherman and his march to the sea, from hiB own personal recollection, giving some incidents whioh have not got into histories. He said In part: You looked upon General Sherman as a vener soldierly man, sagacious, sooiablo and wear in this time of peace laurels abundantly accorded by an admiring people. But as au eye witness, will give yon a plain photograph oftho man in the field, of how he looked and atcd, of the little and great things that make up men and their history. General Sherman impressed his army with hiB spirit.

We knew him, by his deeds and by our instincts, to be a man of men. We then said, every day and every hour, that no general in all time had ever imbued his army so completely with his own ideas. A mero sight of the man was always awe inspiring; not that ho was pompous or self conscious, but becauso supreme authority, great forco and geniuB wero natural and easy to him and we had in him a successful leader. In the prime of life, an erect form, a deeply furrowed, harsh aud grim face, a voice sonorous and arousing, eyes fierce and daring and a strong, striding stop mado up hiB personal appearance. He always reminded me of au, eagle.

Ho never wore a sword or a belt nor buttoned his coat. Ho wore less uniform than anyone in tbe army. It was the thing when tho columns wero at halt for him to walk along tho sidos of the road with both hands in tho pockets of his trousers, talking to whoever was noareit to him, officer, private soldier or negro servant. And he always talked sense. Thero wore no patronizing airs.

Ono felt lifted up and instructed by his converse. He commanded his army easily, without hesitation or a moment of flurry or doubt. His miuil grasped all things, from mending a harneso, felling a tree or malting a mud oven, up to grand tactics and a political and economical administration. He never made mistakes. Yash ington, Scott and Grant had their detractors among their army and their own people, but Sherman had not.

Wo who were with him know him best. His popularity came as near to worship as Americans can feel for a man; and yet he was not sweet nor complaisant, but bluff, cloar, sincere, just, quick, truthful, wiso, practical and, above all, grandly patriotic. His national feeling waB his greatest feature. It was enthusiastic, old fashioned, classical. It made him an allegory of the war.

It was that as much as anything else that brought him success, us it was with Grant and Sheridan. With Sherman it quivered from his scaip to bis too and lit up his army. Our most success ful generals wero our best rebel haters. It seemed to us that Sherman's scope was never filfed nor taxed, that what ho did was play. Any man or oflicer would havo accepted his personal decision before that of any general court mai tiai.

Ho used to Bpeak of "the grand and beautiful game of war." Our generals and all subordinates worked together animated by one idea, not because we were serfs but becauso that army was an in tolligentand patriotic army, thousands of whom iu the ranks wero fit for high command. We felt secure iu the ability and fidelity of our chiof; we recognized the brilliancy of his daily tactics, his wiso strategy and his un interrupted success. We had confidence in overy movement and wo supported him faithfully. With all his soldierly qualities and supremo rank he was also an intellectual superior and a social charm. Nevor for a minute, whatever his situation, whoever he was with, whether stuck iu the mud or upon his war horso in battle, was he uninteresting.

Colonel Hemstreet described his first sight of Genoral Sherman in this way: Aftor the capture of Fort Henry I saw mingling among the rebel prisoners at Paducah a man whom I look to bo a Yankeo school teacher picking up information. He was eagerly plying all sorts of questions in the conter of a group of confederate soldierB, some of whom seemed to bo holding their own with him in the argument. A. comrade Haid to me, "Guess that fellow is bent on writing a history of the coining war." Two months after, at Pittsburg Lauding, I was going through tho dark woods in search of a regiment, when I came before some headquarters tents where my Yankee school master and historian was pacing before smouldering fires in a drizzling mist, while the staff ollicerB weroloung iug in the tents. With the innocence of a volunteer, I asked him if he knew whore the Fifty seventh Illinois wiib camped.

He fixed his talons upon my shoulder, walked mo a few yards, pointed to a clearing and another piece of woods and told me I would find my regiment there. Two roars after that.dttring the siege of Atlanta, when General Sherman's fame was world wide, I wits on outpost duty when tho cry came, "Turn out the guard, tho commanding general." I had barely time to form lino aud lower my sword iu salute when there dashed by at the head of a brilliant stall, tho commanding general, our supposed Yankee school master. This was the first lime I know ho was General Sherman. Colonel Hemstreet described tho march to the sea as Generals Slocum and Howard have recently dono in Brooklyn, but insisted strenuously that it was not a campaign of pillage and destruction beyond tho food and supplies necessary for the support of the army and tho destruction of tho enemy's material for war. Ho said that at the start General Howard procured the issuiug of an order that any man caught pillaging iu a house should bo arrested, tried and if convicted should Buffer death.

This order against marauding was read to overy rogimeut, guard house, and ambulance. In carrying out tho order, Colonel Hemstieet's guard bagged General Howards' and General Blair's cooks aud loft those officers one night with impromptu suppers. Neither Sherman nor his officers, Colonel Hum street said, ordered burned anything that was not contraband of war, such as railroad bridges, arsenals and store housos of cotton that bought English ammunition. Tho property left standing was a thousand to one moro than that burnod. The burning and robbery tho Bpeaker attributed to thieves enlisted from cities and to the personal desire for revongo by soldiers who had suffered, or whoso relatives had Buffered at the hands of the rebels.

There was less criuio in that armv, Colonel Hemstreet said, than in Brooklyn or New Orleans to day. While General Sherman, ho said, had tho boldness and vigor, in his own phrase, "to make' the enemy feel the hard hand of war, his chivalrous nature exerted all proper means to prevent vandalism. Hib patriotism and courage wer.e godlike, for he might at any time nave met tho fate of Lincoln or Seward from some frenzied uerson. Colonel HeniBtreet compared the soldier on the march to the mule, except that the mnlo had a man body servant while the soldier waited ou himself. Both slept on the ground and lived prutty nearly on tho same level as far as cleanliness and subsistence on such food as they could capture went Colonel Hemstreet admitted that there was a change of reeling the moment the army passed tho South Carolina line.

Everybody felt bitterly toward South Carolina and the soldiors let themselves out on tho matter of forage like boys out of school. The burning of Columbia ho attributed to this desire in the ranks for revenge ou South Carolina. He said nobody in tho army at the timo said anything about the burning cotton theory then. It was pretty well understood that the fife was something that it would bo just as well not to investigate too closely, though there was never a hint that the town was burned under orders from any officer whatever. When Sherman's army reached Washington General Sherman asked tho colonels to issue requisitions lor onlr those things of which the men had absolutely none.

Tne requisitions show tho dilapidated condition of the army. There were men barefooted, 3.538; without coats, 2,208: bareheaded, without trousers fit to bo seen, 5.023. That was the army that was reviewed on Pennsylvania avenue by the President, and of whicn General Sherman wrote: "Tbe clothing may be bad. bnt a butter display of legs and arms wili not be soen on this continent." Colonel llenisti'oet detenbed tho muster out of Sherman's army as follows: General Sherman took his army to Louisville for muster out and there on tho Oth of July oaeli division was massed in close column by regiments, and he rode from division to division giving his soldiers his farewell words. It was a Had ii nd reverent hour.

Those bronzed and tattered veterans stood patiently in thu sun at order arms, takiiiK their last look at their honored chief, lie addressed them from horseback. lean remember his speech though I nover penned itt "Boys, we have been togotiiura long whilo and have done a great work, and," rising on his stirrups and swinging his list in animation ho added, "yuu'll never get another crack at 'om at long as you live. They are licked. Be good citizens, my Mips, as vou have been good soldiers. This scene here, right in this wheatUeld near Louisville, of General Sherman taking leavo of his army is a great event.

You wiil never forget it. Whatever I become and wherever I shall be if you aro passing you must call upon me and sav yon belonged to my army." It was tho hottest day of the year. Ho had two cabbage leaves in his hat. General Logan nearly fainted from tho heat and was supported to the Hhade of a tree. The old general attended tho fast national camjifire at Boston and took his seas democratically with tho Missouri delegation.

It was sad to ub to see that ho looked carefully where he stepped, his walk bordiiing upon a totter, recoltecung, as we did, lli i prime of manhood in the field, where ho moved liku a man of cast Bteel.

Hawthorno, Second artillery, in the engagement December SO, 1800. with hostile Indians on Wounded Knee creek, South Dakota. During tho engagement Lieutenant Hawthorno had command of a platoon of my battery, Light Battery First artillery, consisting of two Hotcnkiss mountain howitzers, which he served with great coolness and effect, A party of Indiana had taken possession of a ravine from which cover they had wounded and killed a number of our men, when Lieutenant Hawthorne gallantly moved one of his pieces forward by hand to within 300 yards of tlio place where the hos tiles were concealed and while coolly and gallantly commanding his piece was shot and severely wounded. I cannot speak too highly of the good judgment, coolness and bravery displayed by this officer, again on the same day when the Indians first broke and the troops wore mixod up promiscuously with tho Indians, although tho guns of tho battery were trained upon tho Indian oncampment, with tho la nyards in the gunners hands ready to fire, Lieutenant Hawthorne stood bv his guns. and bv bis coolness at the most oritioal moment, restrained his men from firing until tho troops had separated themselves from the hostiles.

If tho gunners in tlio excitement of the moment had fired their pieces when the Indians first broke, the firo would have been most deadly to our men.
