 suspect, the disease not having fully developed, and he is being detained in tent to await further develop ments.
 Prospector: A globe trOtter in the person of a long-haired individual wearing highly colored and artistic ally decorated coat or uniform, and carrying some musical instruments swung about his shoulders. rode into town today on his bicycle, attracting considerable attention. The stranger claims to be a musician and may give an entertainment here.
 Yuma Sentinel: Lew Martin, an engineer who used to run out of Iu- ma, was last week elected sergeant at-arms Of the upper house of the California legislature. MT. Martin was at one time quite prominent in politics in Arizona, serving one term in the legislature from Yuma county. He will be well remembered by all old timers, especially Donald Mcintyre.
 Yuma Sentinel: The Mexican con gress has confirmed the concession granted to A. B. Smith and ass0- ciates of Los Angeles. Under the concessions, the company is given an immense tract of land on the Gulf of California, and under the contract made, it is to be colonized at once. Smith and his associates agree to at once construct railway to Ft. Yuma, Cal, and to conduct steamship line to southern Mexico. It is said the company will also run it's steamers to Southern California. The line will include six steamers. Capt. Smith has been working on this scheme for yeaIs and has unlimited capital be- hind him. The land cedcd is the best agricultural land on the American continent and can be easily irrigated by water taken from the Colorado river. The mineIal resources Of the country are also of vast importance and with transportation facilities will be rapidly developed This concession means great deal to Yuma, as it will hasten the construction of the San Diego railroad and insures the early construction of another trans-con- tinental line.
 Prospector: Justice Schuster's court was the scene of considerable interest today, the case being the trial of the celebrated chicken case. Standing room was at premium. The com plaint was in effect that a hen roost belonging to a Mexican woman was broken into and six favorite hens stolen or wiiifully and maliciously slaughtered, presumably for chicken banquet. As the Mexican woman was not invited to partake of the feast and besides did not give permission or consent to the hen robbery, she en- tered a righteous aud indignant pro- test. It is also against the dignity of the Territory of Arizona, and the machinery of the law was set in mo- tion to have the matter rectitied. Seven young men were arraigned be- fore the court on a charge of chicken stealing. All looked guilty, and each plead guilty, thus robbing the case of any sensational features which the evidence might have adduced Judge Schuster thereupon fined each $5 for

Senator Daniels speech against
imperialism and expansion, which
occupied three hours and half,
was a mastery argument for con-
tinuing in the steps cf the found
ers OF this government, and as
an oratorical effort has not been
surpassed at this session.
Americans like fair play in a
fight. Gen. Mi es has stood up
like man and charged that con-
tractors supplied our troops with
embaImed beef, and offered to
furnish proof of the charge. Sec
rotary Alger, and his gang are
skulking around trying to stab
Miles in the dark, being afraid
to order him court -martialed,
because that would give him an
opportunity to produce the proof
he has Of his charge. The re-
port of the war investigating
commission, now in Mr.. McKin-
ley 81 possession, is relied upon
to give Miles several stabs. Mr..
Mckinley has been asked to re-
move Miles from the command Of
the army, but he is afraid, to do
SO, because in that case, Miles
would have a right to demand
the cause, and if a cause was
given to demand that a court
martial decide whether it be
just one. A sneaky way Of GUST
ing Miles has been evolved by
Alger. 1t is proposed to amend
the Hull army bill by providing
for a revival of the grade of
lieutenant general and then NOM
mating Merritt, or some other
maj general to the position.
Merritt would not be much more
satisfactory to Alger as COM
mander Of the army than Miles
is, as his contempt for Alger,
which dates away back to Ayers
court martial during the civil
war, has never been concealed,
and their relations, since Alger
became secretary of war have
been confined to strictly official
matters. 1t looks as though the
administration would be compell-
ed to give Miles a chance to
prove his charge, by ordering
some sort of a military inquiry.
MIR. Mckinley is said to have
promised that much.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Everything Flowing Along Nicely
! New Orleans. Feb. 1O. 1899.

New Orleans, Feb. 10, 1899.
Local interest in the Louisiana
Industrial Exposition, which will
take place in this city from May
9Th to 31st, inclusive, has ma.
terially increased during the last
week. The work of preparing for
what promises to be an enterprise
which will serve as a permanent
instrument of good for the COM
merce of New Orleans, has been
carried forward with commenda-
BILE zeal by the various special
committees to which the differ
entbranches have been assigned.
There have been prepared by
Mr.. l.. w. Brown, one Of the
leading civil engineers ofthe city,
divers sets of plans for the neces-
sary buildings which will be
erected by the Fair, andin which
the exhibit will be housed. These
plans contemplate the erection OF
at least three new buildings for
exhibition purposes and are COM
plete in every detail.
1t has been decided to repro
duce on somewhat smaller scale
the famous Midway, which inter-
ested so many visitors to Chicago
during the life of the World 8
Fair. The original intention was
to confer this privilege on some
responsible and experienced man

SENTENCE COMMITTED.
GEN. EAGAN SUSPENDED FOR
SIX YEARS,
d es Not Deprive Him of Pay
lie VIII Be Reinstated in Time
to Retire with the Regular
Rack Provided in
Such Cases.

Washington, Feb. THE Pres
ident today caused to be promul-
gated the sentence in the case of
Gen. Charles p. Eagan. The
court-martial sentence was dis
missal from the army, and the
president has commuted this to
six years suspension from duty,
which covers the remainder of the
time prior to Gen. Eagan re-
tirement in January, 1905.
The following is the text of the
order Of Tie president:
''The accused, after a trial by
court-martial composed Of officers
of high rank and distinguished
services, has been found guilty of
conduct unworthy of an officer
holding a commission OF the
United States, and obnoxious in
the highest degree to the disci-
pline and good order OF the mill
tary establishment. Such beha-
vior is especially deserving Of
condemnation in an officer hold
ing high rank in the army and
charged with the performance of
of difficult and important admin
istrative duties in a time OF great
public emergency, and from
whom, when subjected to adverse
criticism, an unusual degree of
restraint and constant and un-
failing self-control are confident-
ly expected.
The proceedings, findings and
sentence in the case of Brig. Gen.
Charles p, Eagan. commissary
general of subsistence, United
States army, are therefore ap-
proved. In view, however, Of
his gallant conduct in battle, upon
more than one occasion, which
merited and has received the
warm commentator Of his SUI
periors, and Of his long and hon
orable record of service, extend
ing over a period surprising in
duration that usually allotted to a
generation; having regard also
to the mitigating circumstances
which were developed during the
trial Of the case, and in Difference
to the recommendation to Glenn
ency submitted in his behalf, the
sentence imposed by the court is
commuted TO suspension from
rank and duty for six years.
"WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
"Feb. z, 1902
II was stated by the Adiutant
General that Gen. Eagan' s sus-
pension carries him to within a
few days of his retirement under
the age limit. He will be rein
stated in time to retire with the
regular rank and pay provided in
such cases. The sentence of sus-
pension does not deprive Gen.
Eagan of any part Of his pay, but
as the sentence reads, without
rank and duty y he loses his all
lowances, which include commu-
tation of quarters, of rations and
fuel and his horse allowance.
This is q large financial item.

They Are Studying Statistics.

The African Methodist Episcopal
Church in New Jersey is startled by
the fact that while in that state
there is only one white criminal to
every l, ,463 of population there are
negro criminals in the ratio of one
to 100 The African Methodist
Episcopal Church has set itself
earnestly to the task of reducing
this extraordinary record of crime
by systematic labor for reformation
and morality. What can be said
of New Jersey, will hold good in all
the old slave states. Our jails and
penitentiaries are chock full OF
negroes where only sprinkling Of
whites can be found. We will ad'
nit that many a white man makes
his escape from prison walls anc
defeats the end of justice, for which
a like crime committed by a ColoreC
man would be punished, this on ac'
count of the negro not being able
to hire counsel or having Influential
friends to back them up. Still i
all things were equal, the negro
would yet lead the criminal class by
long odds.
