Washington, Jan. 1.-THE President an
nounced at the Cabinet meeting to-day that he
had directed the court-martial Of Commissary-
General Eagan for violation Of the Articles Of
War in his statements before the Investigation
Commission. Secretary Alger was not present
AZ the Cabinet meeting on account OF the criti
cal condition Of member Of his immediate fam
ily which compelled him TO remain at home
His absence gave rise to a revival Of senseless
rumors that he had retired from the Cabinet
although there was not the slightest foundation
for the report that any friction existed.
The statement in The Tribune this morning
mat a court-martial was definitely decided upon
Yesterday. that General Merritt had been Sc
lected as president of the court and Lieutenant
Colonel Clous as the prosecuting officer. was
flly corroborated by War Department officials
and in addition it became known that General
Wade and General S. NJ. B. Young would be
among the remaining ten members.
The President made no extended comment in
announcing his decision to the Cabinet, saying
briefly that he thought this the only course
onen m him consistent with his duties Com
rnander-in- Chief OF the Army. The Cabinet
officials without exception were gratifed that
tbe determination to convene court-martial
had heen reached. One Of them, referring TO
The matter this afternoon. said that any other
decision might have subjected the President to
unpleasant comment, and have laid him open to
criticisms Of sympathizing in one direction or
another with the bitter antagonisms which
VIGOROUSLY exist among some Of the high off,
Gals OF the War Department.
The idea that General Miles might decline to
appear as witness before the court-martial in
the anticipated contingency that General Eagan
will pursue line Of defence alleging sufficient
provocation for his foul language is said to be
unwarranted On the contrary, the commanding
General will not be averse to obeying sum-
mons from the court. If only for the opportunity
Of correcting a Misrepresentation which has been
jndustriously created. that in his testimony he
made characterizations of General Eagan per-
sonally. to which exception could be taken. 1t
is understood that General Miles is not only
willing but anxious. to have tribunal COM
posed exclusively OF Army officers pass on the
oours. he has pursued, confident that 1t will
meet with thorough appreciation.

SUGAR MEN COMBINE
And Form a Two Hundred Million
Dollar Trust.

The Chicago News yesterday
published an article stating that
gigantic combination of capital
is about to take place in the sugar
industry. Among other things it
says:
"a $200,0O0,O00 trust is in con-
temptation. There is every pros
pect that the American Sugar
company, the Glucose Refining
company and all of the so-called
independent sugar refineries will
be consolidated III. O. Havemey-
er oil the sugar combine has, it is
understood, secured an option on
the Arbuckle Sugar company, the
Doscher concern and the outside
plants in Boston and New Orleans.
This evening he will, it is said, re-
ceive definite proposition from
the Glucose people when his repre-
sentatives, who left Chicago last
night, arrive in New York.
"The important feature of the
plan is that the American Sugar Co.
will increase its capitalization from
S75, ,O0O,000 to S2O0,O00,OO0. 1t is
understood that S30,00O,000 of this
will be given the Glucose people
for their plant and S20,000,000 to
the outside refineries and that the
entire common stock of the sugar
trust will be put on an s per cent
basis. The rule of disbursement
on the preferred shares will not be
changed, while the holders of ordi-
nary will be allowed to subscribe
for the new certificates at par"
