Gen. Eaean viii Appeal.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Eagan, the
suspended Commissary General of Sub
sistence, is preparing an appeal to Con-
gress for reinstatement to his former
position as head of the Subsistence De-
partment. Eagan will not retire for
age for five years and in case of favor
able action by Congress he would
serve at the head of the Subsistence
Department for that period. 1t is said
the authorities would be willing to re-
init the unexpired portion of his period
OF suspension II he would consent to go
on the retired list at once, and in that
way vacate the Office of Commissary
General OF Subsistence and permit the
regular appointment of Colonel Wes-
ton, acting head of the department.
Eagan, 1t is understood, will not con-
sent to this arrangement, preferring
to take the chance of Congress restor-
ing him to his old position.

SAMOA TREATY DIFFICULTY

Washington. Nov. 27.-The United
States has declined to accept the agree
ment as to the disposition Of the Samo-
an Islands reached by Great Britain
and Germany. 1t was possibly the
leaking out of some information to this
effect that gave rise to the report cir
culated in European capitals recently
of the development of a serious hitch in
the negotiations.
AS matter of fact, there Is no seri-
GUS hitch. and the reasons which in
fuenced the State Department here in
rejecting the British German arrange
ment when it was submitted for appro-
val related entirely to minor matters,
and touched rather upon the form than
the substance of the arrangement.

making study of the conditions OF
trade there. The principal import ts
cotton, which leads the way with an
augmentation of $50, 900 pounds, at
tributable to the growing DEVELOPMENT
of the cotton manufacturing indus
try in the interior of Russia. A novel
feature among the many imported
articles is Indian corn, of which over
300, 600 pounds was sent from the U nited
States to be used by country distilleries
in place of potatoes, the crop OF which
had almost failed last year. But the
part of the report of deepest interest
to Americans is set forth in ten
words: "American cotton comes al
most exclusively through British and
German ships.' This, of course: Is
made q matter of congratulation by
the British consuls but it cannot but
be CALLING to Americans. Other
American goods for which there is
large demand are steam pumps, ma
chine tools sand bicycles. typewriters
and weighing machines. All OF these
have to take the same course and are
carried across the Atlantic In English

A MOST Interesting experiment in
rational treatment of the poor has
been In operation for more than ten
years in Newport, r. L. -Four women
began systematically to visit families
that had the previous winter received
aid with the idea of inducing them to
lay by for the coming winter. As re-
suit OF their ministration during six
summer months 500 was put aside for
winter use. The following and sue
eeeding summer the visiting was cen
tinued and extended until the last re-
port showed SO, 955 collected from 62O
persons by IA visitors. The result has
been practically the formation of .
savings society of which the visitors
are the solicitors and the people,
the depositors. The idea of bestowing
aims has largely disappeared, says an
exchange, and with it the feeling of
stiffness that exists between the de-
serving poor and the patronizing rich.
The ladies are engaged in business.
They get access to the homes in such q
way as to get the confidence of the in
habitsnts. The amounts that are saw
ed in one family are comparable with
those in q neigh boring home with the
result that the visitors become very
good critics of domestic methods and
are in position to offer practical hints
to the weak ones instead of vague ad-
vice to ell. The Newport expert
ment Is worth trying in any commune

To be the wife first of distinguish

to few women. General William B.
Hazen, the first husband OF Mrs. Dew

Vermont, was graduated from West
Point in 1855, and was distinguished
during the civil war at the battles OF
Shiloh, Stone River, Chickamauga,
Chattanooga, and Atlanta. he was
with Sherman during his march to the
sea, and by his successful assault upon
Fort McAllister put Sherman's army
in possession of marine base of supply
for the operations against the city of

of volunteers, and was
one of the sblest officers of Shermsn's
army.

Some Of the provisions are not un-

A NEW SOVEREIGN STATE.
The Republic of the Acre, the Lat
est Government in South America.

est Government in South America.
From the New York Sun.
Probably there are not many people
who have heard Of the Republic of the
Acre. 1t is a brand new state which
has arisen in South America in the last
few weeks. 1t owes it's origin to the
fact that a large part of the interior
of South America is a no-man's land,
some parts claimed by two or even
three of the republics which have no
clearly defined limits.
A certain Rodriguez Aries happened
along, and determined to take advant-
age of this state of affairs. He was
an adventurer who had seen much of
the world, having been successfully a
bank employe in Spain. n theatrical
manager in the United States, a clerk
Of works in Paris, and a broker in
the Argentine Republic. While in
Buenos Ayres he made the acquaint-
ance of the gentlemen who are now
his ministers of state.
Rodriguez Aries proclaimed a vast
territory bordering on Brazil and Bo-
llvia as the Republic of the Acre. so
called from the river of that name, a
tributary of the Amazon. which flows
through it. The territory has an ex-
tent of some 100000 square miles and
an estimated population of $4,000. It
was claimed by both Brazil and Bo-
livia, but that did not matter to Rod
riguez Aries He established his capi-
tai at small village called Antimairi,
appointed his ministers and was ready
for business, He calculates on raising
revenue from a royalty on the rubber
gathered in his territory, which de-
pends principally on that staple for its
commerce.
Rodriguez Aries is an intelligent,
wide-awake man. apparently about 80
years old. His face is of a decided Span
ish cast, with kindly looking eyes,
which beam on you through a pair of
gold-rimmed spectacles. From his ap-
pearance one might take him to be a
professional man, a lawyer or a doe
tor.
Whether the new Republic OF Acre
will take a permanent place among the
family of nations remains TO be seen.
1t may be noted that there are pros
porous states In existence today which
have arisen In the same manner as the
Republic of the Acre; among these
may be mentioned the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State in South Africa,
which were also established by adven-
turers In a no man's-land, and are now
OF sufficient Importance to make no
small noise in the world.
The region of the Acre Is one of the
hottest and most healthful in South
America. 1t Is also one OF the richest

The territory of the Acre, or a por-

to an American syndicate by the gov
ernment of Bolivia, which had a very
doubtful title to It, The syndicate was
to build a railway and make other i'm

to anything, owing partly to the dis
puted ownership of the land, which led
to litigation, and finally resulted in the
proclamation of independence already
referred to.

"A Party without Character.

From the Richmond (Va.) Times (Democratic)
Let us face the facts. Let us no longer
deceive ourselves. The democratic party
today is without character and standing
in the nation. Ithas lost the confidence,
if not the respect, of the great body of
intelligent, thoughtful men of this
country. What does the party stand
for? What are it's principles? What
man is there in this party today who
can stand up with any sort Of confidence
and declare them? Does democracy
stand for imperialism or expansion? !?
Bryan answers one way and Jones the
other: Does it stand for free silver or
the single gold standard? Bryan and
Jones answer one way, Croker and a

Does the party stand for tariff reform or
