Washington. January is.--The detail
for the court martial which Is to try Com
missary General Charles b. Eagan, on
charges growing out of his statement Le-
fore the war Investigation commission
last week, in which he severely attacked
General Miles. was made public at the
war department tonight. The court is
made up Of thirteen army officers. of which
Maj. General Wesley Merritt Is at the
head and Judge Advocate ana 1t is to
meet In this city on Wednesday, the 25th

All the officers composing the court,

is not connected with the regular army.
They are as follows: Major General Wss-

OF the court.
General Corbin stated that the order for
the appointment of the court martial
would be delivered to General Eagan
either tonight or tomorrow morning. Its
receipt and acknow ledgment by the COM
missary general will be tantamount to
the relief of that officer from his present
duties
The probability Is that General Eagan
will not be placed under actual arrest and
deprived of any of his liberties pending
and during the trial, but will be subject
only to contructive and technical arrest
during that time In the case Of officers
of high RANK this Is occasionally. but not
often done. General Eagau will be ex-
peoted to remain away from his office and
make himself inconspicuous until his ap-
pearancs before the court to answer the
charges when be will be placed under
constructive arrest, to remain so during
Its proceedings
Adjutant General CoYbin refused to-
night to make any statement regarding
the form OF the charges and speo tications
TO be brought against General Esgan or
to say when they would be published. In
view OF the early meeting of the court
this would be done very soon and indeed
1t is likely that the Judge Advocate Gen.
eral of the army has already given some
attention to this feature of the proceed
ings.
General Eagan, after the issue OF the
formal order for the court today, declined
to make any statement in connection
with his case. but said he had not re-
ceived formal notice of the appointment
of the court.

NO SPECIAL CHARTERS.
Railroad Interests VIII Oppose Grant,
ing Them at Augusta.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l


Augusta, January 1s.-Hon. c. 4.
Woodward Of Bangor who with Hon. Seth
NJ. Carter of Lewiston spends considerable
time In Augusta during legislative win
ters as the attorney of the Maine. Central
and Boston and Maine system, made u
significant statement to the railroad COM
mittee this afternoon. In the course of
some remarks concerning the petition of
the Waterville and Wisoasset road for an
extension Of its charter, Mr.. Woodward
after stating that he made no particular
oh jection IN this case, said; But We do
not want 1t understood that We waivelthe
objection, we are going to make to any
and every specially granted charter. I"
Later, Mr. Woodward said thas this OBJ
lection would be made not only to new
charters but to the extension of those
charters which have already been granted
for making exceptions of some of them
where work had been done or money OK
pended. BY ''we' Mr.. Woodward pre-
sumably meant Mr.. Carter and himself
as the Representatives of two of the largest
Maine railroads. The opposition to
special charters in no new thing but this
emphatic declaration at the beginning OF
the work of the railroad committee is sig
nihcant. 1t apparently indicates that the
opposition this year will be of positive
and vigorous character. 1t has an especial
interest to those Cumberland county
people who are trying TO secure a charter
for road to Casco and Naples.
The railroad committee had assigned
several matters for hearings today. First
came the petition of the Somerset rail-
road for an extension Of its charter for
eight years. Hon. Warren q. Philbrook
of waterville, who appeared for the COM
pany said that It desired to buiid to
Al Moosehead Lake, doing the work in small
pieces. For this reason he bad made the
period of the extension eight years.
Then came the case of the WateTville
and Wiscasset. This road Is 10 start at
Wsterville. but 1t does not go to Wiscas-
set. 1t is to run to Weeks Mills and an
extension of charter was asked for. 1t
