COURT MARTIAL GEN. EGAN
ORDERED BY THE PRESIDENT.
To Convene atIOnce to Investigate the
the Conduct of the Commissary Cen
eraI-The President Regards that Such
Ac ion Is Necessary.

Washington, Jan lS.-President Me
Kinley announced to the cabinet at the
regular meeting that he has determined
to court martial General Eagan.
Secretary Alger was not at the cabinet
meeting, but, with Adjutant General Cor
bin, was at the Whitehouse in conference
with the president on the subject just
prior to the cabinet session.
just prior to the cabinet meeting Gen
eral Miles made a rather unusual call
upon two of the members of the cabinet,
Secretaries Hay and Long. He had just
returned to the city from New York and
when spoken to with reference to the Ea-
gan case, adhered to his original declara-
ton, that this was not the time for him
to act, if at all, leaving the implication
that if the commission did not act or the
administration, it would then be time for
him to take some steps,
Ever since Eagans sensational testi-
mony was presented to the investigating
commission, the president has been care
fully celebrating over the matter and has
had frequent consultations with army
officials and others regarding the steps
that should be taken, for he was convinc-
led from the outset that the question for
consideration was what action should be
taken and not whether any disciplinary
measures at all should be had.
The War Investigators.
Washington, Jan. l8.-The war inves-
tigating commission yesterday stated that
the amended statement of General Eagan
would be made public and newspaper men
were allowed access to it. Eagan has
eliminated all Objectionable language and
the phraseology has been altered fire.
quently Eagdn, while referring to Miles
as the senior general resents any as
sumption of Miles superiority and asserts
that he (Eagan) is as good, as old and as
experienced soldier as Miles He also
criticized the latter's action as infamous.
1t Is believed, SO far as the commission
n concerned, the incident is now closed.
Colonel Gibson, distributing agent of
the National Relief Society at Santiago.
testified before the commission today. Glib
son said the canned corn beef and refrip-
Grated beef furnished at Santiago was un-
fit for use.

ed by rich gold discoveries % miles east
of Vernal, Utah, in the Blue mountains,
near the Colorado line.
The discovery was made by doc" Me
Donald, veterinary surgeon OF the Ninth
cavalry, He served in the Spanish war
and while at New York recovering from
the fever met a man named johnson who
had formerly lived in eastern Utah, and
who told him he had found rich float,
describing the location. When the Ninth
cavalry returned to Fort Du Chesne Me
Donald commenced TO search for the
vein.

BIacI<smith's Coal.

An excellent quality of blacksmith's
coal is said to have been discovered in
the Driver mine at Wnkeson, Washing
ton, as we'll as in the Fairfax mine, be-
yond Carbonate. The discovery is of in
estimable value, as nearly all the black
smiths coal is now brought from the east
at heavy expense.
Washington Inspectors Report
The state mining inspectors report of
Washington shows that 1888 men are en-.
gagged in the work of mining coal in this
state. This does not include those direct
ly employed in furnishing timbers for the
mines, nor those engaged in transporting
the coal. This would, no doubt, raise the
number actually drawing wages from the
industry to 5000 men. Estimating the
number of men, women and children de.
pending upon the incomes of these miners
and auXiliaries, at the customary ratio
of five to one and we have $4,000 people
living off the products of the coal mines
in this state. The amount of coal pro-
duced in the state during the past year
is over 100000 tons 1t is believed that
| if the bill now before congress to put
coal on the free list, should pass it would
| permit British Columbia, with her Chi
nese labor, to compete with our white
miners and thus paralyze this growing
industry.

Mayor, Hoos will probably sign the wa
ter contract tomorrow. John Wahl Queen
has read the final proofs of the contract
and has passed upon them The contract
is to be printed on parchment and the
document will be in the hands of Mayor
HooS early tomorrow.
The Mayor says he is anxious to sign
the contract and get 1T out of the way so
that he will be able to devote his time
and attention to other public affairs
Mr.. P. H. Flynn and his representatives
have been notified of the likelihood of
morrow md they have signified their
willingness to sign just as soon as do
the Mayoa nd other city officials.
So far no suits have been instituted by
pected. Public sentiment is undoubtedly
in favor Of the speedy execution of the
contract.
1t is expected. iaasmuch as McEwan is
not to test the award--he just now having
announced that ne would not move, but
would subscribe to a fund to make the
test-that friendly suits will be started by
the East Jersey to have the legality OF
the award established by the courts.

PEOPLES PLACE WATER
Mr.. Scudder Thinks the City
Should Give 1t Free of
Taxation.

The Rev. John l.. Scudder is going to
dabble in politics again for while. This
time he is going to Trenton to put on
the gloves with the legislators. 1t ap-
pears that the Peoples Palace is in. ar
rears for water rents to the tune OF
ss,724.7O. The Palace is not very substan-
tial financially, and what money there is
at hand can be used to better purpose
than paying water rents, Mr. Scudder be-
lieves.
For 1895 the arrearages amounted to
1921 Is; 1886, $9S7 15; 1897, $93312 1885, 1895 TO-
Mr. Scudder has no means of raising such
a sum so he has given up the idea Of
paying up and proposes seeking legisla-
tive relief He is having prepared by the
secretary Of his Hill church a bill to
relieve the Palace from water tavation in
the future and at the same time cancel
the bills that are standing against it.
Senator McDermott Is said to favor the
bill, but it is question Whether the city
officials will approve #.
Mr. Scudder's argument is that the
water is used in filing the swimming tank

average Of $50 days q year, alone costing
about $500 year. The tank Is free to

IN The COLD.
An Erie Smoker Losesa Truck
on the Hackensack
Meadows.

A smoking car of the Erie Railroad train
that left Newark for Jersey City at $40
o'clock this morning, lost its rear trucks
while taking the switch at the junction
of the Newark branch and Greenwood
Lake division tracks on the Hackensack
meadows The car, which was at the
end of the train was dragged over lUo
wards on it's flooring before the engineer
stopped his locomotive.
Although the smoker was crowded al
the time not one passenger was injured
AS the truck was wrenched off the wheels
rolled out from under the car and the
smoker came down on the roadbed with a
crash. The shock threw the passengers
high up out of their seats. The men
grabbed the backs of the seats m front
of them or held on to one another as the
car bumped along. 1t was impossible for
any one to retain his seat. One of the
passengers got hold of the bell rope and
signalled to stop.
Is The engineer did so as quickly as pos
sible. He brought the train TO halt SO
suddenly that the smoker swerved around
with one end across the northbound
tracks and the other down small en-
bankment. Then the passengers hurried
out. They were all shaken up, but no
one was badly injured.
The floor and sides of the car were
crushed, the rear platform was Wrenched
knocked out and both doors were torn
from their hinges
All trains on each track were blocked
for some time The wrecking train. was
sent to the scene of the accident
but for a half to three-quarters OF az

PEACE AND PAYMENTS.

Water Registrar w. H. Peckham today
received warrant from County Collec-
tor Dugan for $644.97. 1t was for water
furnished the Asylum, Almshouse and
Penitentiary during December, 1888.
December was the first month of the
new fiscal year and the Freeholders pro-
pose hereafter making their payments
promptly They owe the city $S,272 for
water supplied to the public institutions
last year. 1t is the $S,272 claim which
caused Mayor Hoos to veto the payment
of $500. 900 to Collector Dugan on account
of the 1889 county taxes.
At the time the Mayor vetoed the pay
ment to Mr.. Dugan he was not aware
that County Counsel Griffin had advised
the Freeholders that they could not pay
last years claims out of this years APP
propriations. The city is therefore placed
on the same footing as other claimants,
and will have to sue the county for the
amount of water rents in arrears. As
soon as Mayor Hoos learned the true
situation he was sorry he had crossed
swords with Collector Dugan. 1t is quite
likely that the Finance Commissioners
at their next meeting will override the
Mayors veto of the Dugan payment and
paw the $4,000 on account. Collector
Dugan may not then press his suit
against the city for the payment of its
county taxes in full.
