FISH AND GAME.

The committee on fisheries and game
gave two hearings today, one on the
petition of Hosea M. Quimby, that ev-
birds and game, and the other on the
G. H. Mackay bill. for the further pro-
lection Of certain birds, except English
sparrows, crows, jays. butcher birds,
great horned owls, Cooper's hawks, Cos
hawks sharp-shinned hawks, duck
hawks pigeon hawks and wild geese.
C. H. Goodell Of Worcester thought
it difficult to enforce the Sunday law.
Fish Commissioner T.. A. Bracket
favored the bill in the interest of good
order, the observance of the Sabbath
and the prevention of rowdyism. The
present law prohibits firing gun on
Sunday To see man with gun is
no evidence that he win fire it, IT is
easy, however. to enforce the game law,
and as q commissioner, he would guar
antee that. if enacted. the law would
be enforced.
Senator Washburn said he drew the
bill and favored it, though not a sports
man. He never fired a gun but once,
and had regretted it ever since because
he killed a squirrel. So many men
hunted on Sunday, that outside of the
ethical question involved. the preserva-
ton Of what game we have left, will
be an important consideration.
Mr.. Bracket said this bill is practi-
cally the Maine law, and New York
has a similar law.
Representative Puffer of Springfield
favored the bill and presented a Pc
tition from many prominent Springfield
people in its favor Loring Croker
of Boston said % per cent of the quail
and woodcock are shot on Sunday. Ger
tainly we can afford to have one close
day in seven. g. y Brown and others
also favored the bill.
No definite program has yet been ar
ranged for the visit of President Nc
Kinley TO the legislature, although the
matter has been informally discussed
by President Smith, Speaker Bates and
Others interested. Now that 1t is set

COM MUTED.
Eaall Suspended Six
Years
FROM THE ARMY.
The President Promulgated
the Sentence Yesterday.

washington, Feb THE president
today caused to be promulgated the
sentence in the case of Charles p.
EaSan. The court martial sentence was
dsnissal from the army, and the presi-
dent has COMMITTED this to six years
suspension from duty, which covers the
remainder of the time prior to Gen.
Ea&aAs retirement. The following is
the text of the order of the 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 an
ollicer holding a commission of the
United States and obnoxious in the
highest degree to the discipline and
good order of the military establish
naent. Such behavior is especially de-
serving of condemnation in an officer
holding high rank in the army and
charged with the performance of diff
cult and important administrative du-
ties In a time of great public emergency
and from whom when subject to adj
verse criticism an unusual degree of
restraint and constant and unfailins
self-control are confidently Expected.
The proceedings, findings and SEN
tence in the case of Brig. Gen. Charles
n Eagan, eommissary general of sub
ststence, United States army are there
fore approved.
Tn view, however, of his gallant con-
duet In battle upon more than one oc-
eAsion which merited and has received
the warm commendation of his super
tors, and of his long and honorable
record of service extending over q. per-
iod SURPRISING in duration that usually
allotted to a generation, having regards
also to the mitigating circumstances
which were developed during the trial
of the case, and in Difference to the
Recommendation to clemency submitted
III his behalf, the sentence imposed by
the court is committed to suspension
from rank and duty for six years.
William Mckinley.
February 7, 1899"
It was stated by the adjutant gen.
eral that Gen. Eagan's suspension car
ries him TO within a few days of his
retirement under the age limit. He will
be- reinstated in time to retire with
the regular rank and pay provided il
such cases. The sentence of suspen.
sion, according to the legal officers o.
the department, does not deprive Gen
Eagan of any part of his pay, but, a.
the sentence reads, without rank ane
duty he loses his allowances, which
include communication of quarters, ra
tons and fuel and his horse allowance
This is quite large financial item.

Especial Dispatch to the spy
Boston, Feb. 7.-Business was rather
light in both branches of the legisla-
ture today, and as result adjourn
ment was early.
The committees have not yet got fully
at work SO far as reporting on new
matters is concerned, and until they
do the Legislators will not have to
spend much time in either chamber,
unless as is always possible, the orators
should break loose.
The one feature of the session was
the announcement Of the fact that
President Mckinley will certainly pay
visit to the great and general court
on the occasion of his coming to the
Hub for the Home Market clubs din
ner.
Plans for his reception at the state
house are now being discussed, and al
though they will be of a simple nature
there is no doubt of the cordiality OF
the welcome the distinguished guest
will receive.

Important Developments Expected to

Boston, Feb. THE Herald this af-
ternoon says: Some new and import
ant developments in the Kelley motor
are expected to come to light within a
week. One of the parties interested said
today that T. Burton kinraide, the
present custodian of the Kelley ma

ed expose by Messrs. Fill and Bridge,

directors, giving mis- true connection

IN COMPLETE CONTROL.

The Americans are in complete con-
troll Of the situation within radius
OF nine miles of Manila, their lines ex-
tending to Malabon on the north and
to Paranaque on the south, and fully
% miles long.
OF the hordes of troops originally
drawn up in battle array against the
Americans, fully one-third are already
incapactated, and the others are scat
tered in every direction. The terrible
loss of the rebels may be gathered from
the fact that 1860 of them were buried
in one rice field ON Monday, near Pasas,
and that 81 were buried between Paco
and Santa Ana. A converted river gun
boat did terrible execution among the
rebels, sweeping both banks OF the river

! Washington, Feb. There was little
abatement of interest in the stirring
events at Manila exhibited today at the
| war department.
| The first feeling of anxiety for the
safety of the American forces has given
away entirely save in the case of the
personal friends and acquaintances of
soldiers supposed to be injured, but
there was displayed instead, the great
est interest in the extent Of the loss
inflicted upon the insurgents by the
American soldiers and sailors.
| Officers at the war department who
know this well. declared when the an
nouncement came of the killing, cap
ture or wounding Of 1000 men, that he
undoubtedly had underestimated the
damage inflicted by him, as was his
wont. instead of magnifying it in the
Spanish fashion
The casualties up to date aggregate
1877. Forty-nine officers and men were
killed and 14S wounded.
| The news of the day from abroad was
found in the casualty list sent by Otis
and in the concise and excellent de-
| scription by him of results of the en-
gagement of Saturday night and Sun
day. The officials say that nothing
more can be expected from him on this
point until he has had an opportunity
to forward mail report giving in de-
tail all the history of the fighting.
/ Naturally, there was a great deal OF
speculation as to the future conduct
of affairs by Otis, but to some extent
this must remain speculative, as Sec

weeks lying in front of the town in his

doubt of his ability to take the place
whenever he got the word, but there
has been restraining influence from

Now, however, it is felt that the lat
