committee, called Maj. Gen. Miles, com.
handing the army, "A liar who lied in
his throat, lied in his heart, lied in
every part of his body" who "perpe.
trated a gross scandal and who should
be drummed out of the service and i'm.

every honest man and barred by every

as filth"
The subject in controversy was Gen
Miles already famous "embaImed beef
testimony and the letters and docu-
ments supporting it. Gen. Miles had
charged that the canned and refriger
ated meats sent TO the army in Cuba
and Porto Rico were unfit for use. that
they were preserved by the use OF
chemicals and that they had been
bought and sent TO the army under
pretense of an experiment" This re.
Election upon both the ability and hon.
esty of the commissary department
had angered Gen. Eagan and caused
him to request TO be recalled to reply
to Gen. Miles charges. That his state
ments concerning the commanding
general were not the result of a sudden
outburst of passion was clearly shown
by the fact that Gen. Eagan read his
remarks from a carefully prepared type
written copy.

resolution of censure of Gen. Eagar
for the language he used Thursday
when he appeared TO answer the
charges made against the commissary

left with the commission after reading

Gen. C. p. Eagan. Commissary General,
War Department: We respectfully inform
you that after your testimony was read
yesterday the following resolution was
unanimously passed:
Moved. That the commission receive
Gen. Eagan's testimony without comment,
that 1t be not printed at once, but held for
the considera ton of the commission. Car
ried.
Having now considered the questions
involved we have determined that in many
instances the vituperative language used
by you was not such as ought TO have
been addressed as a witness to this board.
We think that the personal attacks and
irrelevant statements contained in the pa
pers submitted should be eliminated, and
before receiving 1t as testimony we re-
quest that you will revise its language and

zion. We herewith return your papers
Very respectfully,

FOREPAUGH AND SELLS BROS.
SHOWS

In a review Of the inaugural perform
apce of the combined Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers circuses, at Madison
Square Garden, New York city, the Sun
said:
"From time immemorial the Forepaugh
show has been noted for the surprising
excellence of its trained animals. Last
night the circus lived up to its reputation.
From the trained seals to the educated
elephants the animals seemed clever
enough to be college graduates. In this
respect, at least, the Forepaugh is far
ahead of the Barnum show. The grand
trium pbal entree was more gorgeous than
usual, and the hippodrome events were
cleyerly sandwiched in between the acts
in the rings, making a very welcome
break in the succession of stunts.
"Another feature which was far above
the average was the clown contingent.
Some of them were really comical last
night and they worked with an enthusi-
asm and dash that was really effective.
rbe Hanlons, in their trapsze act. were
the most thrilling feature of the pro
eramme but there were a number OF other
m id air feats which ian them close for
first honors.
"For many the most interesting act Of
all was William Germans feat OF driving
thirty five Kentucky thoroughbreds at a
pallop three times around the ring. The
bills announce German rs the Apollo
Beiyl,Iere' of hersemen, and he certainly
succeeds in living up to the title.
