In the local stock market London specu-

opening, the chief topic OF discussion being
the now threatening state of affairs in the
South African republic.
London'S lower range of prices however
was only moderately reflected here at the
start. the initial quotations, while gener-
ally showing fractional declines, were quick

REFUSES TO RETIRE.
Offers Made by Col. Weston's Friends
to Gen. Eagan.


Overtures have been made to Commits
sary Eagan, it is said, to induce him to
take advantage of the voluntary retire
ment law, in order that Col. Weston, who
is now acting commissary general, may be
advanced to the head of the subsistence
department. AS the case now stands, Col.
Weston is doing all the work of the office
and Gen. Eagan is getting the pay. In
other words, Col Weston is virtually pay
ing the penalty for Gen. Eagans offenses.
Gen. Eagan is now drawing full pay at
the rate of $500 year, and, being under
suspension, is prohibited from doing any
military service If he went on the re-
tiers pay, or S4,125 year, which would
mean loss to him of $3.50 for the five
years remaining to him on the active list.
1t is understood that the friends of Col.
Weston have offered to make good this
difference in case Gen. Eagan vacates the
office at once, but that he has declined all
propositions to that end.
Although Colonel Weston has all the
duties and responsibilities devolving upon
the commssary general he is receiving
only the pay of a colonel of the subsistence
department.
The President is embarrassed by the sit
uation. 1t is said he would welcome the
immediate retirement of General Egan in
order that justice might be done Colonel
Weston, and it is said to be a matter of
regret to him that it is beyond the power
of the executive to retire officer except
for disability until he reaches the age of
sixty-two years, which will not occur in
the case of General Eagan for five years
yet. The law authorizes an officer to retire
upon his own application after forty years
service. and General Eagan has been in
effectually urged to take advantage of that
statute.
