ENTIRE TRIAL CONSUMED LESS
THAN EIGHT HOURS.
Gen. Eagan Was Practically Insane
--His Daughters Testimony ON the
Stand Was n Dramatic Incident of
the Trial--The Court Adjourns
without Day.

Washington, January 27.-The case OF
Commissary General Eagan, charged with
conduct unbecomipg an officer and u
gentleman, and with conduct tending to
the prejudice of good order and military
discipline, is now in the hands of the
court martial appointed to try him. To-
day the taking of testimony was CLOSED
and arguments Of counsel were sub
mitted.
The trial has lasted three days and con-
sumed less than eight hours OF actual sit
ting. A session behind closed doors of an
hour or SO, suffloed for the court to reach
a conclusion and embody 1t in a report.
What the verdict was Is altogether a mat
ter OF speculation and officially, at least
will not be made public by the trial
board, military regulations requiring that
Its finding shall go through prescribed
channels and be kept secret until action
be had and promulgated by the proper re-
viewing authorities
Among the spectators today was a score
~ ladies. Several of them wers friends of
General Eagsns daughter, who was
called as a witness The testimony at
the closing session Of the court, Was
directed largely to establishing the fact
that the General had lost his mental
balance as result of the charges made
against him by General Miles. His
daughter and her husband told of the
Generals changed condition and inti-
mated that they had great fears that he
might at any time kill his aoouser. Mr..
Mckee, life long friend stated that at
that time he believed him actually in
sane. The facts in this connection were
brought out strongly by MIR. WorthinRton

Many women are in need Of nothing

the many published testimonials from
people in every walk of life whom IL has

Boston. January a. The sharp drop in
the temperature forecasted last night ID

while the cold is likely to ice up badly
everything afloat. Late reports from
Chatham and other Cape Cod ports indi-
cate tina. the night will prove bad one
for mariners, as In fact all the day was
but nearly everyt thing is under shelter.
Boston hartor Is full of sailing vessels
which did not dare to 60 out, and the
steamer fremont for Portland remained
tied up. Several masters Of incoming
craft reported tonight that the seas are

in his efforts to show that General Eagan
at times was wholly irresponsible. A
dramatic incident Of the trial today was
the testimony OF the Generals daughter
in which she described her fathers ap.
rearance on the day he first read General
Miles's statement Standing In the door
of her house with the newspaper contain
ing the evidencs in his hand he had OK
claimed wildlyi al have been cruoitied
by General Miles"
Throughout the three days Of the trial
the members Of the court sat In their
places and listened to every word OF the
testimony. Only on two or three occasions
did they ask the witness any questions
and then an answer of ''yes. sir'' or "no
sir" sufiioed. Where their sympathies
were, or what was passing in their minds,
was not disclosed by even the slightest
change of expression.
Immediately upon the case being closed,
the court went into executive session to
deliberate upon Its findings.
The court was In executive session for q
little over an hour and reached Its con-
clusions for II soon became known when
the doors were reopened that the court
martial had nude its findings
The fact was confirmed by the an
nouncement from the judge advocate that
the court had adjourned without day. 1t

the proceedings which Is a rare occur
renee OF the nature Of the findings
nothing is known positively outside Of
the members Of the court who are all
under oath to keep the proceedings secret
In the regular order, the findings and
proceedings must now be carefully gone
over by Judge Advocate Davis. He
thought this afternoon that 1t was
possible to conclude his task tomorrow or
Monday. He will place the papers in the
hands Of Judge Advocate General Lieber,
whose duty 1t will bs to make most
careful examination of every part of the
detection of any Irregularities In the

Secretary OF War with his endorsement, II
he sees fit to add one, and the Secretary
will act finally "by direction of the Presi-

1t is possible for the papers to pass
through the hands of General Miles at
some stage In the proceedings, hes acting
also in the capacity of reviewing au-
thority but this is not u uniform practice
and there was notable exception in the

Mr.. President IL was not the main pur.
pose OF the makers OF the constitution to
point ont way In accordance with which
the problems of government were to be
solved. Their main purpose was to devise
plan of government and not TO ordain
policies; and where they seemed to be or
daining policies, where they departed
from the main work of establishing the
bodies which together should form the
government, they were doing precisely
what every other executive bly, be-
fore their time and subsequently thereto,
has had to do--they were satisfying popu-
lar prejudiced, and looking forward to
the day when their rork would be passed
upon by minds less trained than their own
In the consideration OF great principle
and more subject than theirs to temporary
and local prejudice 1 do not mean to
suggest, Mr.. President that such legisla.
tion as does occur in the constitution Is
any less binding upon us because IL was
put there as concession to the sentiment
of the hour, but do affirm without hesi-
tation that the inferences which We draw
not from such legislation limiting the
power Of the general government and
tending to render our government less
competent that other governments need
to he drawn fully and need to be oon-
sidered in the light of the whole scheme
Of federal authority.
It is true that we are n government o.

Limitation is cimply to reserve 20 the
peoples of the states such ample power as

the purpose of such limitation TO hinder

At the conclusion OF Mr.. Platt's speech,
notice Of speeches ON the expansion ques-
tion were given by Mr.. Money of Mississ-
ippi, for next Friday and Mr.. Chiffon
of Texas for Saturday, February 1.
MIR. Fairbanks, of Indiana, precipitated
discussion by u statement which he sub
mitted with respect 10 the anui-expan-
sionist propaganda. He said that on
Thursday clippings from agricultural
newspapers from various parts or the
country were inserted in the record.
There is very systematic and subtle
attempt to mislead the people OF the
country with respect to the question OF
expansion" said Mr.. Fairbnnks, and tha
agricultural papers are being use! as u
medium for this Information.
Mr. Fairbanks said that no had been
credibly informed that Mr. Herbert
Myrics, the editor of an agricultural
newspaper at Springfield, Mass, had sent
to agricultural newspapers throughout
the country the letter OF A Andrew Carnegie
to Secretary Wilson in opposition 10 ex-
pansion and had urged them to print 10
and comment favorabiy upon 1t, the space
in their papers TO be paid for at the usual
rates He then had read some of tie
Communications sent out by those gho
were opposed to the policy of expansion,
remarking that he desired simply to put
