Those who read General EagaaNs
fierce onslaught upon General Miles
were perhaps amazed at the severe and
Incorporate character of the denuncia-
ton. So far as we are informed. Miles
is sustained by very convincing evil
dence. Generals Garretson and Bliss
and hundreds of other officers give ev1-
dence against the bad meat furnished
"emba1med beef" as Miles called it.
The Charleston News and Courier
clearly thinks it would be good rid
dance if both Miles and Eagan were
turned out. 1t says and hits none too
hard in remembrance OF Miles's in
famous treatment of the noble, able
and brave President Jefferson Davis
when imprisoned under him at Fort.

Representative Nelson Dinghy, w

Representative Nelson Dingiey, who
recently died in Washington, was the
chairman OF the committee that report
ed the resent infamous, robber tariff
ak. He was born in Maine in 1882,
and was in his 9th year. He had been
in the United States house since 1881.
He was of Puritan stock, was educat-
ct at Dartmouth College, was a very
straight republican, and believed, all
over in the Rob Roy doctrine Of tax
alton. He was no doubt a man Of
ability. He was extreme even as Tom
Reed is extreme. He was approach
able and popular with the members.
The Washington Post ~eulogizes him
very highly, perhaps very excessively.
1t thinks him evidently a great man. We
give the following which may be jush:
His generous qualities Of mind and
heart, plain. unaffected manners, and
his affability with men of all stations
bound to him a great circle of sincere
admirers. H was the Scion of the
House. Tyros and veterans from ev-
cry state in the union hesitated not to
approach his seat and seek his council.
His best advice and wisdom were
equally free to all. TO some degree,
Mr.. Dingley had the traits Of a poll
tician, but his methods were always
honest and straightforward"
He was probably Of the New Eng
land type, wool-dyed and fnsular.

amount of detail crowded into its

Governor Russell is looked upon with
suspicion now by the radical gang of
whites. A little while ago they were
lauding him and ~pronouncing him great
from centre to circumference, from
head 20 foot. One fellow wonders why
he should wish to go into a republican
caucus. Well, Russell has as much
sense as any '-Ader of the aforesaid
gang, and is quite as patriotic. This
is not intended for praise, but is in
behalf of justice.

A Wilmington correspondent of The
Raleigh Post states hat the White La
more than 800 members, and predicts
that it will be heard from in future
campaigns and will be a new factor in
city politics. The writer states that
"its primary object was to act in o
junction with the merchants OF the city
in securing white help of every class
and Kidding the city, as far as practi-
cables of negro labor. At it's last meeting
the union protested vehemently against
the action of some of the merchants
in importing white labor when a num-
Der of resident whites are out Of labor"

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Sensational Advance In Sugar Was
the Feature.

New York. March 17.-Bradstreet's
review of the New York stock market
will say tomorrow: Firmer tendencies
in money caused irregular declines in
the stock market during the earlier part
of the week. In spite of this there were
advances in specialties or manipulated
securities, and when the sensation Of
the week came on Thursday it took the
form OF an extremely large and rapid
advance in American sugar refining
stock. The advance continued on Fri
day, the street being inclined to be-
lieVe that the reports OF negotiations
for a settlement OF the trade war had q
real foundation. The absence Of any
details Of confirmation seemed only to
increase the apprehension Of the bears,
not only in Sugar, but in other stocks,
and although there was little evidence
of a healthy buying demand for long
account, the covering OF shorts, forced
or otherwise. caused marked aporecia-
ton in various parts Of the list. This
was especially noticeable with Granger
shares, which had been depressed and
sagging early in the week on eXpecta-
lions of unfavorable net earnings re-
ports for February, and on account Of
serious damage TO the winter wheat
crop. Burlington, AuchiSon and other
stocks, which would be affected by the
latter circumstances, became the OBJ
jects Of liquidation and pressure, the
latter resulting in short sales in a suf-
ficient amount to furnish material for
the subsequent rally, which was helped
on by manipulation. At the same time
the entire market was more or less in
fiuenced by the hardening of money. In
spite Of the distrust Of the industrial
stocks shown by lenders of money, that
part Of the market was a feature in the
Grading. London was not an important
factor in this market. IN fact, the quo
tations there followed ours closely.
Speculation on the other side was an
parently Influenced in its action by the
expectation Of higher money here.
While the anthracite stocks were dull
and the grangers heavy until rallied by
short covering, the lack of public buy
ing and the predominance Of manipula-
ton found their chief exposition in the
industrialS and few specialties.

EXECUTION IN ONTARIO.
Oliver Provost Hanged For Murder
ing Two Men.

Port Arthur, Ont, March 17.-Oliver
Provost was hanged this morning. The
drop fell at o'clock.
Oliver Provost was executed for the
murder of two French swineherders
named Carrie and Delvin, on Feb. 10,
1897. The evidence was largely circum-
stantial. The principal witness against
Provost was Rosanna Gauthier, a mar
ried woman, who, at the time of the
tragedy, was living with Provost. In
bis defense Provost swore the woman
poisoned the two men. Both swore that
robbery was the motive. During the
trial the fact was not brought Oromi-
nently to the attention of the court
that Provost had been aiken from an
insane asylum of Kingston peniten-
tiary, where he was serving a term for
another offense, and put ON trial for
murder.
For this reason, and because the plea
of insanity was persistently urged, the
minister of justice appointed a COM
mission to examine Provost. The com
mission reported that he was in pos
session of his faculties, and was NOR
ally responsible for his crime.

Kaysville. March IA well-attended
mass-meeting of the citizens of the east
ern part of Kaysville City was held last
evening to decide whether or not the
water belonging to the lot-owners of the
new survey should be Incorporated with
the Haig-hts Creek Irrigation company.
The water has for many years been held
by kaySville City in trust for the people,
and the city has controlled and regulated
it. Mayor J. CT. NJ. Barnes, acting for
the lot-oWnerS, signed the articles of in
corporation of the proposed company, and
this action was not approved by some of
the interested parties, who filed protest
with the city council. The council there
if the people approved the mayors action.

cate of stock, if the incorporation was
formed. instead of the city holding it in
trust. After a three-hours' session, Hy-
rum Stewart made q motion, which car
ried, endorsing the mayors action in
signing the articles of Incorporation and
providing that the city should turn over
to the property-oWners, on demand, the
certificate of stock and the deeds to the
reservoir site. The action makes 1t GER
tain that the city water will form part of
the Haight's Creek Irrigation company.
There may, however be another corpora
ton formed by the new survey claim
ants, so as to prevent the city officers
from controlling the water.
A proposition to buy twenty-five shares
of water at $50 a share for the new sur
Vey' was voted down.
