San Francisco, Jan. l8.--The fore

the Americans. but the admiral told mo ho did

Washington, Jan. H. The work of

WILL TAKE ACTION.
The Administration Will Not Ignore
the Miles-Eagan Scandal.
PRECEDENIS ARE BEING STUDIED.
President Mckinley and Secretary Alger
win Probably order Court of In
quiry into the Conduct Of
Both Generala.

Washington, Jan. 49, President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Alger had long
conference Saturday and discussed va
rious phases of the Miles-Eagan scan
dial. Both realize that the conduct of
Gen. Eagan cannot be ignored, as
there is no question about his vituper-
ative language used toward his SUI
perior officer putting him beyond the
pale of protection or liberation. Wheth-
er Gen. Miles demands court-martial
for Eagan or not, there must be some
thing done to enforce discipline in the
army.
A court-martial for Eagan would not
be called upon to take any other testi-
mony than that supplied by the gen.
'eraPs own statement. But it is said
that the president and the secretary of
war both realize that such q court
martial would not remove the source
tof the trouble or restore discipline.
There must be some action taken
that will get at the merits of
cthe case and show whether Eagan,
lin his brutal manner, spoke
the unvarnished truth or added to
the gravity of using language unbe-
~Ang an officer and gentleman the
crime of SANDER, That's the question
at issue and the administration cannot
ignore it. The president and Secre-
tary Alger are studying the prece-
dents and the law to see what is the
proper way to meet the issue now
before them. They probably will
decide on a court of inquiry
to determine whether Gen. Eagan
slandered Gen. Miles, and also
whether Gen. Miles slandered
the commissary department and the
government in his charges that the
army was supplied with embalmed
beef which caused sickness and death.
Mr.. Mckinley realizes that to simply
dismiss Gen. Eagan for using brutal
and vulgar language toward his SUI
.perior officer will not end the scandal.
He must meet the issue raised by Gen.
Miles and determine in an official man
ner whether the generals charge con-
corning the character of the beef sup
piled to the army is true or false.
With such a situation the president
will be compelled to order a court of
Inquiry, which will be authorized to
place all witnesses under oath and
,sift the whole matter to the bottom.
The war department courts such an
inquiry. Gen. Eagan sought in his
brutal language to compel such an in
quiry. He contends that he was
charged with murder, and that the
government was accused of being his
aid and abettor in his conspiracy to
poison The soldiers in the field He is
revising his statement and will send
it to the commission to-day. Whether
1T will be received or not depends upon
his ability to free it of offensive epi-
thets

Washington, Jan. Ia The annual
report of the interstate commerce
commission was given out yesterday.
In IL the commission says;
In previous reports TO congress attention

To state that the law, In its present condition,
cannot be enforced is only TO rep9at what has
already been said Until further and impor-

regulation must be feeble and disappointing
Meanwhile, the situation has become In
tolerable, both from the standpoint Of the
public and tho carriers Tariffs are dlsre-
Rarded, Determinations constantly occur,
the prloo NJ which transportation can be OBJ
tanned is iiuctuatlng and uncertain, Enormous
sums are spent In purchasing business and So

little benefit from these reductions, for conoes-
slons are mainly confined to the heavier ship
