WASHlNGToN,Jan. 13.-The war In
vestigatIng commission to-day passed a
resolution OF censure on General Engan
for the language he used yesterday
when he appeared to answer the
charges made against the commIssary'
branch OF the army by Major General
Miles. and returned TO him the carefully
prepared typewritten statement which
he left with the commission nfter read
Ing It TO that body. With ifs return
was sent letter explaining the reasons
for this action and COPY OF the resolu-
tlon passed to-day.
The following is the text OF the letter
ordered to be sent to General Eagan: &
WASHINGTON, D, c., Jan. 1S. 1899. \
Brig. Gen C. p. Eagan, commissary
General. War Department. 5
Strive respectfully inform you that
after your testimony was read yester-
day, the following resolution was unan-
imously passed:
Ss'"Sloved that the commission receive
General Eagan's testimony without
comment, that 1t be not printed ut once,
but held for the consideration Of the
commission. Carried" Having now
considered the questions involved we
have determined that In many in
stances the vltuperative language used
by You was not such as ought TO have
been addressed as witness to this
board. We think that the personal at
tacks and irrelevant statements con-
tanned In the papers submitted should
be eliminated and before receiving 1t as
testimony we request that you will re-
wise its language and, X you choose, re-
submit 1t for our consideration. We
herewith return your papers.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) CHARLES DENNY.
Vice President"
Eagan VIII E1purgatc.
1t was gathered from friends OF Gen,
eral Eagan to-day that he Is prepared
to accept the suggestions conveyed in
the letter OF the war inquiry commits
sion, and will amend his statement so
as to exclude the matter complained OF.
1t Is said by persons who may be re-
garded as authorities in military law
that In It's present phase the controversy
between General Miles and General Ea-
gan is not one that will admit of calling
Of Il court OF Inquiry. This is entirely
apart from the question OF the right to
call court martial. In the latter case,
under the strict rules OF military law,
the court would be Obliged TO take un-
der consideration certain specific
charges, such as an attack upon a
brother officer and would not be per-
mitted to so beyond that matter. even
to the extent of inquiring into the
truthfuIness OF the charges made IN the
attack.
The court OF inquiry. however, as It's
name implies, has broader field OF ac-
tion and might. without being bound
closely. inquire into all of the facts, not
even contlning its inquiry 10 the officer
alleged 10 be the offender but perhaps,
as has been known in the past, to re-
turn n finding that involved the court
martial of more than one officer. In
other words. a court OF inquiry In a case
like this might. II found reason therefor
indlct for trial before court martial
both Of the parties to the controversy.
However, as already stated. the best
opinion is that at the present phase, a
court OF inquiry Is beyond reach.

scnool Board Met.

The Pine Tree Lumber company's
bill $3.50 for lumber was allowed.
This was the only item Of business
transacted. The members
present discussed various subjects to
quite anextent. Among them was
one relative to the addition 81 new
studies to the high school course.
Although the present courses offered
are satisfactory it was thought they
could be materially improved by q
few substitutions and additions.

the work the, schools are doing.

securing a corps OF teachers fitted for

Undoubtedly Keep Open.

A committee from the Retail Clerk 8
union has interviewed the merchants
in the city to ascertain their ideas as
to whether they will remain open
later than eight O'Clock on Thursday
and Friday evening Of this week.
They found fourteen business men
who were willing and preferred to
close at eight. Four, a clothing,
dry goods and two grocery stores,
will remain open regardless OF what
other business men do. Three are
undecided. Since they are not GER
tain, it is fair to presume that they
will follow the example set by those
who intend to keep their places open
after the above mentioned hour.
Judging from the above it looks very
much as If all stores will keep open
for if one man offers things for sale
another will.
The clerks appreciate the kindness
thus far shown than by their en-
ployes, and hope that beginning next
Monday all stores will resume the
old schedule of closing, their doors at
eight O'Clock each evening with the
exception Of Wednesday and Satur-
day nights.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of theear.
There Is only one way to cure. deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness ia caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's natural con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out of ten all caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

In a letter to the American Bar q

In letter to the American Bar as.
ISOLATION Elnbassador Joseph Fl.
Choate, who was president OF the Or
ganization, said: 1.-THE laws delays,
which seem to be constantly on the in
crease, may well engage the earnest
attention of the association. No Oppor.
tunity should be lost to counterfeit the
inevitable tendency to elaborate pro-
cedure and unnecessarily multiplied
appeals" The tendency to elaborate
procedure and unnecessarily multiplied
appeals' is one of the worst Of the
evils of litigation. The increasing
cumbersomeness of our system Of ju-
risprudence is not so generally appre-
ciated outside Of the profession. 1t is
beginning to stand out, however, as
the most obdurate fact about that sys-
TEN. Codes have simpliie,i procedure,
but the determination Of their mean-
ing has only increased adjudication
and so the cumbersomeness. The de-
cisions Of the judiciaries of the federal
government, 43 states, and Great Brit
ain, piling up in volumes upon vol
umes, year by year, are battling as a
present fact and appalling In the pros
pect. People feel more and more that
they cannot tell anything about what
! the conclusion will be from a suit at
law or when the conclusion win be
reached. Lawyers and lawmakers
could vastly increase the public re-
spect for themselves and for the law
by simplifying the codes and obviating
In some measure the perplexities Of

Perplsxity Over the Yacht Race.

Perplexity Over tho Yacht Race. !
The public has at last arrived at .
pretty definite Idea Of the dimensions
Sof the two yachts that are to make
New York the Mecca Of all yachtsmen,.
though there Is much dissension among
those specially Interested In yachting
over which boat should win. This
:dissension has no reference to a diff
ference Of Judgment as to the merits
.of the two boats, The men WHO In,

ment is the basis upon which his fore
cast Is made. Many Of the debaters
over the merits Of the contrasting boats
are ardent Americans CT Irish descent
and would lose no opportunity to do
honor to anything carrying the stars
and stripes, but the challenger bears a
name to conjure with wherever Irish
blood boils and irish traditions pre-
vail. Her body is painted an emerald
green. and above her floats the flag of
yellow and green that proclaims her
nationality. -
There is q small body Of 1rishmen in
New York which suspects n British
plot in the visit Of Sir Thomas Upton.
They resent the naming Of the yacht
and her convoy a;,A say the challenger
sails under false colors, for she repre-
sents England anu not Ireland. But
there flies the green flag Of the Emar,
aid Isle, and the majority Of the sons
of Erin are in a sad state of perpiexitv
as to which yacht tc bet on.
