The specification under the first charge
is that General Eagan while testifying be-
fore the Alger Relief Commission used
disgraceful, grossly insulting and I'M
gentlemanly language with reference to
Mai Gen. Nelson \. Miles. commanding
the army. The specification quotes the ioi-
lowing words of General Eagan; He lies
in his throat, he lies in his heart. he lies
in every hair in his head. and every pore
of his body, he lies willfully. deliberately,
and maliciously. l wish to force the lie
back into his throat, covered with the
contents of camp latrine. The second
specification is substantially the same as

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Recital Given By Miss Davison's
Blind Pupils.

About 800 people gathered at the as
sembly hall of the state deaf and dumb
school to hear Il musical recital given
by Miss Davisons blind pupils. The
affair was probably the best musical
entertainment given thus far at the
school, some of the pupils showing I'M
doubted musical talent, together with
technical skill creditable to any per-
formers of their ages. The programme
included a duet bv Thomas Biddulpt
and Henrietta Maser; violin airs by
James Higginson, and march exc
cuted on the piano by John Braley.
Mrs. Ross gave a select reading, fol-
lowed by two musical numbers by a
clever musician, Janey McClelland.
Fitzgerald Nebeker rendered Mehdels-
sohn's Songs Without Words on the
piano, and received a merited encore.
David Egbert gave a difficult piece of
violin music, and was obliged TO re-
peat at the demand of the audience.
Miss Lulu Mcdonald gave couple OF
selections. and Herbert Layne also
gave a couple of musical numbers, be-
ing encored. Miss C1ary Eddy gave a
song in the sign language, entitled
THE Mute's Lament" which was much
appreciated by those able to interpret
it. The entertainment closed with
trio, by Lulu Mcdonald, Janey McClel-
land and Carl Lind.

DON'T WANT SUNDAY PAPERS
LONDON DAILY MAIL GIVES UP
THE EXPERIMENT.
Makes Frank Concession to the Re-
ligious Feeling of the Public-It
Lasted Six Weeks.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
Herald from London says:
London is not yet ready for Sunday
newspapers.
This morning the Daily Mail an
nounces in big, black type headlines,
Death of the Sunday Daily Mail; a
frank concession to the religious feeling
of the public"
1t will be remembered that when the
Sunday Daily Mail started it announced
that its existence was due to the Daily
Telegraph's starting a Sunday edition,
i and that as long as the latter published
Sunday edition, the former would do
,, likewise. But the Daily Mail is the first
to give in.
The announcement came as a great
surprise. In it's explanation of its
change of policy, the Daily Mail says:
The Sunday Daily Mail is dead. The
final issue of that journal was made
on Sunday last, and we bury it today,
without regret.
Resolutions of protest and appeals
from religious and other bodies
throughout the country, asking that We
should discontinue the day paper
have assumed gigantic proportions.
These have not only not been ignored
by the Daily Mail office, but have been
carefully considered by the proprietors.
With a desire, therefore, to meet the
view of those who object to Sunday
journalism. the proprietors have de-
cided to discontinue publication of the
Sunday Daily Mail.
I'VE may mention that our decision
in this matter was considerably infiu-
enced by an appeal from our own en-
ployees.''
The Nails experiment lasted six
weeks, and the result shows that the
British public does not take kindly to
seven-day papers.

The Wool Market

Boston. May 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
The wool market continues strong and
active. The feature of the weeks bust
ness has been the continued large de-
mand for export. the inquiry being princi-
pally for Australian woods in bond and
for territory. The movement in the lat
ter bids fair TO assume large proportions
unless the holders of such wool raise
their asking prices to higher figures than
foreigners will pay. Already. however.
several million pounds of territory have
been sold for export. About 100000
pounds are reported as having been sold
in Philadelphia last week to Germany, the
wool costing the purchaser 40 cents
clean, while additional lines have been
taken here during the past week. Prices
are strong. The country markets are
excited.
The sales for the week in Boston
amount to 4.113000 pounds domestic and
4.20O. 500 pounds foreign, making a total
OF S315. 800. against a total of 1888 900 for
the previous week and total of ], 402.-
500 for the corresponding week last year.

WAS REAL ESTATE KING,
Wilson Washington, Largest Land
Owner In America.

Kansas City, May 17.-Wilson Wad-
bingham, who died suddenly in New
York yesterday, was one of the boldest
spectators in Kansas City during its
boom of fourteen years ago. He was
associated with George F. Winter OF
this city in several of the largest real
estate deals ever made here. Together
they bought the Goodrich tract of
eighty acres, paying S75O,O0O in cash
therefor; the Gates tract of forty acres,
for 100000 cash; a part of Winter park
and scores of smaller pieces of prop
erty. All were finally sold at enormous
profits.
The claim that Mr.. Waddingham was
the largest individual landowner in
the United States is, according to Mr..
Winter, we'll founded. In New Mexico
alone he owned nearly 10000 acres of
land. In this list were the Pablo Mon
tayo grant, $4,000 acres; the Anton
Chico grant, $1,000 acres; the Antonio
Ortex grant, 100000 acres; the Pedro
Armendries grant, 100000 acres.
On the Pablo ranch Mr.. Waddingham
had at the time of his death, 800
head of cattle. and on the Pedro ranch
5000 head. He was also interested in
various land grants in Colorado, bring
ing his land possessions alone far up
into the millions of acres.
