Having once overcapitalized and then wrecked the street railr f Manhattan and the Bronx, Thomas F. Ryan is willing to take them back, reorganize them and recapi- talize them. The first step toward this is to increase the receipts by the aboli- tion of the free transfers. Under the State Railroad law a passenger is entitled to ride over any street rail- road system for one fare. The Metropolitan system was made up of a score of different railroads held on leases.

SILENT little brownearded man (shabby and careless in dream, forever smoking, quite lacking in the military glitter and dash that marked his predecessors), was chosen on March 17, 1864, to the chief command of the United States forces. He was Gen. U. S. Grant. Less tham four years earlier he had been plodding along in an Illinois town as an $800 @ year store clerk, and had been looked on as a failure in life, Less tham five years later he was to become President of the United States, He had beon busy simasling the Confederacy’s power in the Southwest while more showy Union leaders had been suffering endless setbacks at the hands of Lee in Virginia. Now that he at last came to the front as com mander-in-chief, Grant resolved to put an end to the delaya and blunders that had marred the previous three years of the Virginia campaigns, and to strike decisively and at once. He had had no previous war experience in the East, His first move was to divide all the Umion forces into several armies and, with a mathematical plan of action in mind, to hurl each of these at one of the various armies of the Confederacy. It was a general, organised rush all along the Hue. Grant himself with the Army of the Potomas chose as his adversary the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee's own creek veterans. In pursuance of this idea he crossed the Rapidan and begaa @ ; march on Richmond. Nearly a year was to elapse before he should reach that goal, but he never once turned aside from his original aim until perseverance finally won him the victory. Grant and Lee. Having crossed the Rapidan the Army of the, o- mmwna~wrnr~~~ & Potomac moved toward Richmond, their advance forcing Lee to leave a strong defensive position and hurry to check the invasion. The two forces met on May 4 in a barren, desolate tract of swamps aud scrub ouks, known as “The Wilderness,” ‘There for three days the battle waged, about 250,000 men in all being en- gaced in the struggle. On May 7 the Confederates fell back toward Rich- mond and Grant pressed on in hot pursuit The Southerners halted near Spottsytvanta Court-House, and the battle was renewed. Lee there held hig ground. But where Grant was barred in his direct march to Richmond he immediately tried to advance at some other point. Hach setback merely strengthened his determination to push on. He had planned his general route and would not be turned aside. A‘hint of this bulldog trait 1s found in his dispatch to the War Department after the Spottsylvania battle. He wrote “We have now ended the sixth day of very heavy fighting. The result to this time is very much in our favor. Our losses have been heavy as weil as those of the enemy. I think tae loss of .he enemy must be greater. We have taken over 5,000 prisoners in battle, ile he has taken from 3s few except straggle “I propose to fight it out on this line if {t takes all summer.” In the frst month of this whirlwind campaign Grant lost 39,259 nen, to about 30,000 of Lee's. The bloodshed was the greater because Grant found in Lee a foe almost worthy of his own martial gentus. At home, in the North, people gasped at news of such wholesale Joss of 'ife, and Grant was denounced as a butcher. But the accu-ation was not justified. The silent little lealer threw away no Hyves need lessly. He made every blow tell. His men were slain in decisive battle-—not in useless side-actions or In fever-infested camps. And each death scored for the Union. Falling to dislodge Lee at Spotsylvania, Grant moved hurriedly to the goutherp side of the James River and marched toward Richmond by way at Petersburg. A! the latter place, about tweuty miles south of the Con- federate capital, Lee again opposed his progress. Petersburg was strongly fortified It was the key to Richmond and must fall before the capital rould be taken. So Grant, unable to carty !ce’s fortifications by storm, laid siege to the ylace, sending out expeditions of cavalry to cut off the enemy's supplics and railway communication. ‘here, for nine months, the siege continued, marked by terrible slaughter on both sides. Indeed, here Orn occurred some of the deadliest fighting of all the war, the Northern and Southern sharpshooters vying with one another in murderous accuracy. While Grant and Lee were face to face at Petersburg momentous cam- were in progress elsewhere. reece sent 20,000 men under Gen. Barly to capture Washington.

Sheridan caught up with and defeated the Confederates at Winchester, tn the Shenandoah Valley, Sept. 19, and again on Sept. 22. In a week he had sent Early’s battered troops hurrying southward. But on wat 19, while Sheridan was away, the Federal army was attacked and get an by Barly at Cedar Creek, Sheridan rode up in time to rally his peace charge the Confederate line, and, for the third time, to win an over whelming victory.
