TIE PAY OF GEN. EAGAN.
No Indication That the Usual Course
VIII Not 30 Followed in His Case.

No Indication That the Usual Course
VIII Not 30 Followed in His Case.
Washington Evening Star.
Some army officers have raised the
question as TO the right of Gen. EaGan
TO receive the full pay of his grade
under the suspension as the result Of
court-martial proceedings. Inquiry at
the War Department elected the state
ment. however, that no other action
is possible In view of the circumstan-
ccs of the case. The invariable practice
OF the Department has been to allow
suspended officers full pay unless the
sentence specifically provides otherwise.
Usually n sentence of suspension is ac>
companied by statement that such
suspension will be on reduced pay, us
ually onc-half or two-thirds of the reg
ular pay. But where no mention IS
made in the sentence of a reduction o.
pay, the practice of the Department
has been TO allow full pay. This prac-
tice has been passed upon by the courts
and sustained as legal and proper.
During the World Fair ut Chicago
four cadets ut the Military Academy
were court martialed for misbchavior
Two of them were sentenced to suspen-
sion with entire forfeiture of pay, and
in the case of the other two the CEN
tence was merely suspension from rank
and duty. without specifying any for
feiture of pay. The question was sub
mitted to Judge Advocate General ut
that time as to whether the last men
toned cadets were entitled TO fun pay
while under suspension. He decided
that the department had no right to
add to the sentence. and that as the
sentence did not include forfeiture of
pay the cadets could not he deprived
of 1t. Subsequently, when the cases were
presented 10 the Comptroller of the
Treasury, that Official made a ruling
that the cadets Were not entitled to full
pay under the sentence OF the court,
and disallowed their accounts accord
ingly. The cadets appealed from the de-
cision of the Comptroller and the cases
were tried in the Court OF Claims, with
the result that the Comptrolior's decis-
ion was ovcrruled and the opinion OF
the Judge Advocate of the Army was
sustained.
The case of Judge Advocate General
Swain differs from that OF General Ea =
gan in that he was sentenced by the
court to suspension from rank and duty
on half pay In mitigating the sentence
of dismissal in the case OF General Ea-
gan. the President directed his sus-
pension from rank and duty for n pc
Rod of six years Inasmuch as there
was no direct order for n forfeiture of
any part of General EaEans pay, the
legal officers Of the department hold
that he is entitled TO the full amount.

YALES NEW PRESIDENT.
The Formal Installation Of Arthur
Twining Hadley.
TIE STUDENTS CELEBRATION.

Three Thousand UNDERGRADUATES and
Recent Graduates Unite In Parade
in Which Many Original aud Novel
Features Are Introduced.
New Haven, Oct. 19.-Arthur Twin
ing Hadley, the first layman chosen
president of Yale during its two CEN
turtles of collegiate life, was yesterday
afternoon indicted into Office. His
inauguration took place in the pres
ence of the most representative body of
American educators and university
men gathered since the inauguration OF
President Eliot. of Harvard. The
guests included the most cosmopolitan
assembly which. perhaps, ever met at
an American Inauguration. -Four dis
tinct groups marched separately in the
stately parade to Battell Chapel, met
ut its doors and filled 1t to overlooking.
Business men. members of city, state
and national government, college
alumni and under graduates, with the
official representatives of other uni
Versities completed the list.
President Hadley really took his seat
as Yale's chief executive on commence
ment day last June. He has since di-
rected the affairs Of t institution
and had laid. in general, the plans
for his own Inauguration. At his wish
the Latin Grafton, pronounced at every
previous Inauguration, was omitted,
not conventional classic phrase was
uttered, but grand chorus of 100
voices of Yale under graduates, accom-
panied by symphony orchestra of SO
pieces, was introduced into the inaug-
uration program.
Simplicity marked the exercises from
beginning to close. The march to the
chapel, the chorus, the simple words of

Omcers Of the Loyal Legion.

Philadelphia, Oct. 19.--Next to the
election Of officers the question which
excited the greatest interest at yes
terday's session of the Loyal Legion
was that of the eligibility to member
ship in the Loyal Legion of men en-
listed for the civil war, and who serv-
ed as officers in the volunteer army
during the Spanish-American war. 1t
was decided that under the constitu-
ton it would be impossible to admit
them. The following officers were
elected: Commander-in-chi Lieu
tenant General John M. Schofield;
senior vice commander, Lieutenant
Charles P. Clark, U. 8. N, Connecticut;
junior vice commander. Brigadier Gem
eral Henry c. Merriam. Kansas; re-
corder, Lieutenant Colonel John P.
Nicholson, Philadelphia.

ARTHUR TWINING HADLEY.
Rev. DR.. Joseph Twichell, admins
tering the Inauguration oath, the con-
gratulatory address of welcome by
Professor George P Fisher, dean of
the divinity school, the prayer and
benediction by DR.. Timothy Dwight,
the retiring president, and the recep-
tion of the new president in the art
school filled out the program.
Three thousand Yale under grad
yates and recent graduates united last
night in parade in honor of Presi
dent Hadley. The hit of the process
sion was the train of the "Iladley
Transportation company" 1t consisted
of locomotive and three cars, each
of the latter Is feet long and seven
feet high, lighted from within with
lanterns. The locomotive moved on
wheels, and was fitted with boiler,
which emitted steam at every stop, and
continuously rang changing bell as a
warning Of it's approach.
The baggage car contained an excel
lent likeness of Senator Chauncey M.
Depew in the act Of throwing out a
trunk marked "A. T. H., Yale" The
baggage car and each Of the two pas
senger coaches were carried by two of
the college Sweeps" The whole train
formed a tableau 80 feet long. The 10
connective burned cotton waste and was
equipped with a headlight. The win
dows of the passenger coaches con-
tanned excellent portraits of promi-
nent professors and graduates. With
the cars we're 20 seniors carrying regu-
jlation railroad lanterns and dressed in
the garb of brakemen Considering
the fact that much of President Had
ley's reputation as an economist is
based on his work on railroad trans
portation, the railroad tableau was
especially appropriate.
What pleased the visitors most, and
also the graduates of long standing,
was the transparency carried by the
divinity school students. It was a
faithful representation of the old Say
brook meeting house, where the II
ministers met who founded Yale col
lege nearly 200 years ago.
The scientific students carried as
symbol of their study huge blast
furnace Of sheet iron and cardboard,

The Last sp~ech OF the Trip Made Mt
Youngstown, o.

Youngstown, O., Oct. 19.-President
McKinley's special train arrived here
at s o'clock last evening and the chief
executive delivered the last speech Of
his tour. The train was backed into
side track and the president and his
cabinet went on foot to a platform
near by. Apparently everybody in
town had crowded into the two streets
facing the platform, and it was with
great difficulty that the president could
make himself heard. 1t was estimated
that 10000 people were packed into the
narrow space surrounding the speak
er's stand. As the president proceed
ed they became quieter and enthusi-
astically cheered every point in his ad-
dress. Secretary of the Navy Long
and Secretary Of the Interior Hitch
cock also spoke briefly.
Having taken dinner aboard the
train the president, Mrs. Mckinley and
Miss Mary Barber were driven to the
residence of DR.. Deetrick, in North
Phelps street. to attend the wedding Of
Miss Anna Viola Deetrick to Mr.. Will
lam Mckinley Duncan, nephew of
President Mckinley. An hour later the
president and his cabinet entered car
riages and were driven to st. Co.
lumbus Hall, where a public reception
was given. President Mckinley greet
ed hundreds of his boyhood friends
with a hearty handshake and kind
word. The reception lasted until 10
o'clock At that hour the party re-
turned to the train, which left immedi-
ately for Pittsburg over the Pennsyl-
yania line.

fiery heat that ut every stop sent
flames high into the air. The furnace
was 16 feet high.
The art students carried a number
of transparencies illustrative OF their
study.
The campus was brilliantly illumin-

His plea did not find favor In the meb's
mind. Il was thought safer to hang him
and ada a few more bullet holes to the
many already troubling him, which was
forthwith done. During the process Of
hauling him on high there wss merry
fusillade, aud just as he reached the ex-
IRENE altitude, with the pistol balls rails
Ing a great dust out Of his baggy gar
ments, one missile hit the rope at his
neck, and snip, down he came.
His sudden descent took the crowd by
surprise, but the further fact that he
"struck the ground a-runnin," as the
man who told me expressed 1t, actually
dazed them. In short, Buck escaped by
plunging into dense wood and could
not be found again, although the search
lasted for nearly week, night and day.
Five years later man who knew Buck
well dropped into a hardware store in
Nashville and, while transacting some
business, CHANGED to catch familiar ray
from the grinning porter. 1t was Buck,

him numerically with club. To get
even on the score and set one notch over
for good measure. the negro soon after

whereupon all the neighborhood of whites

another house was burned. The culprit
was tracked from embers to distant
cabin, where he was captured. Every
body's eyes grew large and of a sudden
stared wildly; everybody's under jaw
sagged like FOOLS, for 1t was Buck
