UNITED STATES LOSES.
Fails to Recover, i'm an English Court
Money Paid to Ship
Rr0Eera.

LONDON. Jan. 26.-Justice Bigham, in
the queens bench division of the high
court of justice. to-day decided in favor of
PeIley Bros. the ship brokers, in the suit
of the United States against them to re-
cover $16,5O0 paid the brokers on April q,
1898, on two cotton colliers. by Lieutenant
Sims, who was then acting naval attache
of the United States embassy in London,
that amount being 10 per cent of the total
sum, $16o,000 for which the ship brokers
agreed on April q to deliver the colliers.
1t was claimed on behalf of the United
States that Pelley Bros. according to the
contract, were to deliver the colliers "as
soon as possible" ard that they promised
verbally that one of them was to be ready
to sail In twenty-four hours and the other
In forty-eight hours, but that they failed
proclamation Of April g. claiming they
were unable to get them ready in time to
do so The case hinged on whether a state
of war existed on April %. when the own
erS ceased their preparations to fit out the
ships They testified that they sounded
the foreign Office on the subject and were
informed that they might be liable under
the foreign enlistment act If they carried
out their contract The Justice said they
did what he hoped any English gentleman,
would do under the circumstances. He
himself believed that war existed on April
q, and there was no ground to insinuate
that the brokers acted in bad faith. They
were entitled to keep the money. under a
clause of the contract which provided that
it should be retained IL state of war pre-
vented delivering the ships.

URGES A NEW AGREEMENT.
Comanche Agreement Should
Not be Ratified.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-(Special.) In re-
sponse to a request from the senate, Sec
retary Bliss to-day sent to that body cer-
tain information relating to the Apache.
Kiowa and Comanche Indians. in which
he says these Indians have never assented
to the agreement now in force. and that
they signed 1t apparently under misrepre-
sentation by the interpreters. The secre-
tary says he has been very much impressed
by the earnestness Of the protests of the
Indians, and believes that they signed it
without a correct understanding of its con-
ditions or consequences. He doubts that,
in spite of the richness of the soil of the
reservation. they could sustain themselves
by agriculture, and says:
'It Is my belief that it ought not to be
ratified. If 1t is the judgment Of congress
that the allotments ought to be made and
the residue of the lands opened to settle
ment, l earnestly recommend, in lieu of
the ratification Of this agreement, that the
secretary of the interior be authorized and
directed to secure new agreement through
an Indian inspector. In this way, I am
satisfied. an agreement could be procured.
with small expense, which would be salts
factory alike to the Indians and the gov
ernment.'
The secretary says the reason for al
lotting $50 acres to George D. Day. agent
for the Indians, when the agreement was
made, and Hugh Scott. an army officer,
stationed at Fort Sill, within the reserya-
ton. has never been manifest to him. and
he regards it. to say the least. of doubtful
Indians and the public service. He recon-
mends that the area of allotments be
doubled and the allotments to Day and
Scott stricken out,

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 2S-when the Lexow
committee met to-day it began an inves-
agation into the affairs of the boiler in
spector's office. A number of witnesses
have been summoned to testify as to the
charges that members of the board have
accepted money for stationary engineers
licenses. 1t is the first case of actual in
vestiSaton of charges publicly made, and
Is a case of the working people against
officials alleged to be depressing them. The
men under investigation are Charles j.

The most important witness was James

from the boiler inspectors office and pass

ne did not think that this immunity covered
the newspaper interview In which General
Miles had by inference. declared him to
be q murderer for gain.
Witness said he became greatly excited.
This statement of General Miles. in the
opinion of the witness, had taken away his
Eagan's) character. He could not proceed
against General Miles in the courts or 9th
dead in the gutter. During this recital
General Eagan's eyes filled with tears. his
voice trembled, and he spoke very feeling

In answer to a question by his counsel
as to whether he had ever received any
benefit from any contract he had made,
General Eagan said with great feeling:
NO. on my honor and before my God,
not one cents profit or gain did | ever
receive. and yet my office has disbursed

poor that 1 have not now sufficient money

AS he QEagan) understood public senti-

racked in body and brain in consequence.
He was goaded to death, and was very
glad Of chance to appear before the com.

people in the defense of his honor.
During this impassioned and impressive
recital. each member of the court listened
intently to every word spoken, and every
eye was fastened upon the speaker. The
witness spoke of his mental and physical
condition between the time General Miles
gave his testimony and the time he him
self had appeared. He could not get rid
or the thought that the country believed
him to be murderer and for gain. and it
drove him nearly to distraction.
Mr. Worthington then read large num-
Der of newspaper clippings, many of which
spoke of General Eagan as scoundrel,
and demanded his dismissal from the
army. AT Il o'clock Mr.. Worthington an
nounced that he was unable to proceed
with his case. as the secretary of war,

also could not appear until tomorrow.

For the Columbia over the Defender.
ihe Worst Defeat ON Record

Newport, r. l., August 9.-The run
of the New York Yacht Club cruise from
Gardeners bay TO this port today, a
distance Of forty-three miles, was full
of interesting brushes. While the yachts
ran half Of the forty-three miles in a
constantly increasing southwest breeze,
the first half Of the day was fuky.
1t is no disparagement to the Column
bia TO say that her defeat of the De-
fender by over twenty-five minutes
was due more to BAD judgment and
hard luck OF the latter boat, which left
her in a soft spot, than to actual SUI
periorty. Still, the new boat showed
herself very able in a broad reach with
a constantly increasing breeze, and il
is not too much say that she made an
average Of fully thirteen knots in the
run along shore from Watch Hill to
Point Judith, so rapidly dropping the
the whistling buoy off Point Judith,
ward, over five miles astern.
On n run up from Point Judith dead
before the wind, the Columbia gained a
minute or two more, so that at the fin
ish the old Defender had received the
worst beating in her history.
IneTe was never a m during the
day when there was not wind enough
TO fill the sails, while the last fifteen
miles was sailed in a grand breeze from
the southeast.
