George Crook,
Southwest a month sgo whon ho made a
trip with Oonoral Strong and other friends, but ho has not boen confined to his room. IIo was one of a boxparty at a theater Thursday night, and was in good spirits. IIo returned and wont to bed without complaining of any unusual symptoms. Ho arose beforo 7 o'clock and partially dressed himself. He stopped from his sleeping-room into his parlor to take somo exercise with an apparatus, as is his custom. A moment later his wife heard him fall heavily on a sofa and cry: "Mary, Mary, como quick can't broathe." She rushed to his aid but was unablo to relievo him. lJr. Hurlburt was summoned and only arrived to soo the General expire. The oauso ol his death was undoubtedly failure of the heart.
Mr. J. B. Drake immediately notified the officials at tbo artny headquarters. Arrangements were then mado to prepare tho remains for tho casket Mrs. Crook's sister, Mrs. Heed, aoted for the widow, who was nearly distracted with grief. 'I ho following army officers and members ol General Crook's staff arrived at the room—No. 857 —and superintended tho burial preparations: Colonel Stanton, Major Kandall, Colonel E. M. Ileyl, Captain McConloy, Dr. McClellan, Gemoral Bingham, Colonel Corbin, Captain Roberts, General Williams and General W. E. Strong.

at nothiug and denied himself every pleasuro or comfort. Ho constantly rofused to Incumber himself with things that might conduce to his comfort, so that he might move around more quickly. There never was a point of danger in these western campaigns that he did not place himself in, so that a good example would be set for the army. I think tho campaign of 1870 was the foundation for his troubles. Then he started out with thirty days' rations for his force and was gone nearly a year, spending a terribly sovore winter in the mountains and OR the western prairies far away from the fort* and posts. This hard service, together with the irregularity of meals and the scarcity of food, resulted in his stomaoh troubles which immediately affected his heart"
In this city flags on Government buildings, armories and private residences are at half-mast, indicating tho looal bereavement which will be manifested throughout the Nation.
Goneral Schoileld, at Washington, will assume command of tho Department of the Missouri pending the oholce ef 0»neral Crook's successor, with probably ono af the latter's staff offlcorB in immadi-
alo charge. Mrs. Crook was the recipient yesterday of every attontion on the part of her husband's army associates, who porsonally and by letter and telegram expressed their sympathy In her bereavement Civilians by tho •core who know tho General joined them in expressions of the grief whloh all feel so keenly.
The officer next in rank to the late General Crook, and who will probably succeed him as Major-Goncral, is Brlgadlor-Gonoral Nelson A. Milos. General Miles is not a West Pointer, ing won his rank by his bravery and service in the field.
General Milos entered tho service as a Captain of volunteers in tho Twentysecond 'Massachusetts Infantry on September 11, lsill, being ono of the "six-month men." He ro-onlistod on May 31, 18t)3, as a Colonel of tho Six-ty-first Now York Infanty, wns mado a Colonel in Sep- OENKBAL MILKS. tember, 1862, Brigadlor^Joneral in May, 18C4, and Major-Gonoral of volunteers October 21, 1805. Uo was assigned to duty in tbo regular army as Colonol of tho Fortieth Infantry July 28, 1800, was transferred to tho oommand of the Fifth Infantry In 1809, and wns promotod to Brigadier-General December 15, 1880.
Besides General Miles there are five other Brigadior-Gonerals, any ono of .whom may reooivo tho promotion. There are Urigadior-Gonorals David S. Btanloy, .John Gibbon, Thomas H. Ruger, Wesley Merrltt and John R. Brooke.

WASHINGTON, Maroh 22.—Tho news of tho death of Goneral Crook was a great shock to tho officials of tho War Department Secretary Proctor was particularly affoctod by tho intelligence, as ho had very intimato associations with General Crook during bis rocent visit to 'Washington a few weeks ago. Ho sont a porsonal message of condolonco to
Mrs. Crook and gave instructions for tho preparation of a goneral order announcing General Crook's death to tho army.
GENKI'.AL SIIKltMAN'S THinUTK. NEW Yoitji, March 22.—Speaking of the death of Genbral Crook, General Sherman said yesterday: "Ho was the most successful man in dealings with tbOjIndians tKat the United States over had in its service. In my fifteen years' observation of him I found him a man who could bo deponded upon in every emeigeney."
GENERAL CtypOK'S RECORD. General Crook was born near Dayton, O., September 3?, 18?9. Ho entered West Point in 18)8, graduating In 1858, with Generals Sheridan, Schoflold and others who afterwards gained tame. He was first asslgnod a5 Second Lieutenant of tho Fourth infantry. At the breaking out of the war he was made Colonel of tS Thirty-Sixth Ohio. Ho fought through
out *. the Virginia campaign aB Brig-adier-General. Ordered to Tennossee, he ^distinguished himself at Chlokamuuga. Under
Cvinoral Shorldan be.aided In defeatlrjthe rebels at Cedar creek, ami "planned the attaok upon Early at Fisher's hill, from whleh Early never recovered. After tho war, as Lieutenant-Colonel of the Twenty-third Infantry, In tho Department of the Columbia, he did good work In quelling hostile Indians. From tho rank of LieutouantColonel he became Brigadier-General of the United States Ariny in 1874, something in tho way of promotion very rarely heard of. During his career as Commander of tho Department of the l'latte, by his conquering tho hostile Sioux and Cheyennes. bo opened up to settlement a stretch ot country larger than Franco.
In 1S82 General Crook returned to Arizona, forced the Mormons, squatters, miners and stock raiders to vacutb tho Indian lands on which tliey had seized, encouraged tiie Apaches In planting and pledged them tho protection of the Government In tho sprinp of 1RS3 tho Cbiricahuas Intrenched themselves in tbo fastnesses of the mountains on the Northern Mexican boundary and began a series of raids. General Crook struck the trail, uud, instead of following, took it backward, penetrated Into and took possession of their strongholds, and, as fnelasthe warriors returned from their plundering excursions, made them prisoners. He marched over 1300 miles, made 400 prisoners and captured all tho horses and plunder. During the two years following ho had sole charge ol the Indians, and in that time no depredation occurred, lie then set them all at work on their farms, abolished the system ol trading and paying In goods and storo orders Indulged in by contractors, paid cash dlreot to the Indians for all his sappllta and stimulated them to incroased exertions. Tho Indians became self-supporting within three yours.
April 6, 1838, President Cleveland nominated Brigadier-General George Crook to be MajtrGeneral, vice Torry, retired- His headquarters were established in the Pullman building, in Chicago, and his llmo would have expired in 189-1.

GETTING HEADY FOI» THE FRAY.
CHICAGO, March 22.—Every indication points to the inauguration of an eighthour day in the building trades on May 1. Thero is great activity in tho organization of trades unions throughout tho country with this end in view. The tragic events of 1880 will not bo repeated, as tho movement is a quiet but effective preparation lor a peaceable victory. It is claimed that employers, realizing tho strength of tho trades nions, are doing all in their power to facilitate equitable settlomejits bofore strikes can bccomo necessary.'
In Chicago tho fooling is that the employers in tho buildiug trades havo already practically conoedod tho eighthour day. Tho masons and brlcklay,ors having for years past boen working under tho eight-hour system it is oaslor with their help to bring tho other trades into lino. Tho carpenters are now engagbd in a determined effort to reach the samo perfection of organization as tho masons and bricklayers havo long enjoyed. During tho last throe weeks they havo hold massmootings almost every night More than 1,000 non-union mon have been prevailed upon to join the union. Out of tho 7,000 carpenters in Chicago more than 8,000 now belong to tho Brothorhood of
Carpenters and Joiners or tho Amalgamated Association. Tho carpenters' domunds, which they Insist shall go Into effect on Monday, April 7, are: Eight hours a day, forty cents an hour as a minimum wage, and a recognition of tho union on tho same terms as tho bricklayers. If thoso demands aro not granted thero will undoubtedly be a strike, and tho whole povyer of the National Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, an organization numbering 70,000 carpenters, will be called upon, and will earnestly respond, to back up tho carpontors of Chicago. It is understood tho American Federation of Labor will regard favorably a proposition that has been suggested to make the carpenters' strugglo on Aprli 7 a preliminary battle for the great contest of May 1, in which case tho carpenters would havo behind them tho moral and financial support of 700,000 trade unionists, and Chioago would beoomo, as it was in 1880, tho battlo-ground at the eight-hour movement
Tt he Brothorhood of Paiuters and Dec orators of America attached to the Federation of Labor lias commenced the work of organizing-tho craft in Chicago and is mooting with oonsiderahliuuccess. Several preliminary meetings have been hold, and it is thought a branch will soon bo launched numbering at least 400 members.
Local unions connected with tho Brotherhood of Pnintoro and Decorators, which affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, hnvo decidcd to ask for an increaso of wages in tho following planes: Auburn, N. Y. Richmond, Va. Clowland. O. Pittsburgh, I'a. Toledo, O. Now Uochello, N. Y. Denver, Col. Salt Laku City, U. T. Indianapolis, Ind. Meriden, Conn. Erie, Pa. ISinghamton, N. Y. Natchez, Miss. Haverhill und Lowell, Mass., and Burlington, la.
Tho plasterors, lathors, hod-carriers and other branches of tho building trades are all fairly well organized and will bo hoard from whon tho time comes to inaugurate tho oight-hour day.
There are signs of stirring life in labor circles at tho stock yards. The ooopers are thoroughly organized. Tho Paoking-IIouse Laborers' Union has been organized with an initial membership of about 750. It is oxpoctod that tho union will number from 10,000 to 15,000 men in a few months. A compact organization of tho various branches of labor at tho stock yards ia expected beforo May 1.
ORGANIZATION IN OTHER CITIES. Reports from other industrial contors Show great activity in tho work of organizing tho various trades. In Massachusetts thero is a Stato labor party, and an eight-hour bill is now bofore the Legislature in that commonwealth. In Boston
the
various trades
are well organized. In New York the masons, bricklayers, carpenters and paintors, and nearly all the members of tho building trades have already gained tho eighthour day. The concession was mado to the painters a weok ago for eight hours at $2.75 a day. Tho carpontors got forty cents and tho bricklayers and masons fifty cents an hour. Tho building trades are noirly all well organized and are now making an effort toonforco the recognition of the unions by asking that all architects have inserted in their contracts a stipulation that only union men bo omployed on tho work. The plasterers mot last weok a committoo of boss builders at Cooper Union and signed contracts for two years, whereby eight hours shall constitute a day's work at tho rate of fifty cents an hour. Th* evont was signalizod by a grand street parade and goneral jollification. Twenty-two hundred mon come under the arrangement
In Philadelphia tho labor movement displays but little strength. In I'ittsburgh tho building trades will soon federa to as a distinct body under the name of the Building Trades Council. Thia is not intended to interfere in any way ^Hh their relation to other National
