he was made It's mouth piece, because
of the information credited to him in

tariff questions, he added nothing to
his reputation as leader in these res

DISMISSAL FROM The SERVICE

May Follow the Action OF the Com.
missary General In His Bitter Per.
sonnl Attack ON the General of the
Army Before the War Investigators
Washington. Jan. 1S.-The president
yesterday announced to the cabinet
that he had decided to order court
martial TO try Commissary General
Eagan for the-abusive and violent Ian
guage he had used respecting Major
General Nelson A. Miles. While on the
witness stand before the war investl-
eating commission last Thursday. The
decision promptly met with the unanl-
NOUS appr s@al of the members of the
cabinet. The personnel OF the court
was not taken up, that phase OF the
action being held to be not cabinet
matter, but one that rested between
the president and the secretary of war.
General Wesley r. Merritt has been
mentioned MS likely to preside over
the court, and u cabinet official said
hc would not bc surprised ut General
Mcrritt's designation.
In the absence OF the announcement
ot the details OF the court martial there
was n good deal Of speculation rs to Its
composition. General practice Is for
majority Of the court TO consist OF the
peers or aupcriors IN rank OF the de-
tcudant. This would make the task

The Deadlock In Delaware.

Dover Del. Jan. 1S.-The legislature
will meet in joint session this after
noon and vote for United States sena-
tor. 1t is probable that but three bal
lots will be taken on the first day. and
that there will be no change in the
total vote from that cast yesterday
by each house. The ballots. which
were Intellectual. totaled: Senator
George Gray. DEM, Is; ]. Edward Ad-

The regular Republicans, who are not
bound by any caucus action. may scat

senator is chosen the election will not
occur for several weeks. Meanwhile
a joint session will be held daily. 1t
Is the general belief that a compromise
candidate must be named before any
thing can be effected.

WEST yrKaIyrA,s DEADLOCK.
Republican Senate Awaits the Action
of the Deuocratfo House.

Republican Senate Awaits the Action
OF the Democratic House.
Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 16.-The leg
sslature was In session four days Lass
week without doing anything. Thin
deadlock is due to the senatorial con-
test, and it will continue all this week.
The Democrats hold their senatorial
caucus on Wednesday night, and the
Republicans on Thursday night, but
the balloting in joint session does not
begin until Monday, Jan. 20. On the
certificates OF election the Republicans
have a bare majority on joint ballot for
senator, The senate Is Republican and
the house Democratic. so that In UNI
seating minority members in both
houses both parties have opportunities
for retaliation, and this condition Is
what prevents both bodies from pro-
ceeding with business. The house on
Saturday failed on It's first contested
seat case. because two Democratic
members refused to vote and another
was paired with Republican. but II
Is thought that Logan. Democrat, VIII
be given the seat of Via. Republican.
and that other contest cases In the
house will be settled Immediately af-
terward. Meantime the Republican
majority in the senate Is waiting the
results in the house.
While this contest is going on at the
state house the headquarters Of the
senatorial candidates are crowded day
and night with the enthusiastic con-
testants. Ex-Congressman McGraw Is
having things very much his own way
on the Democratic side for Senator
Faulkner's place. 1t would be neces-
sary for the house to unseat more
members than the senate for McGraw
or any Democratic aspirant to have
any chance. On the Republican side
there are more candidates. Revenue
Commissioner N. z. Scott and Governor
G. w. Atkinson are the leading can
didates, with Caldwell. Peffenbarger.
Floyd. Gaines. Hughes and others also
in the field. The dark horse is Judge
Nathan Golf. who Is not a candidate.
but whose friends regard as the final
solution of the pending complications.

Commissary General Eagan says
that Major General Miles is "a liar.
a libeler and villifier of honest men"
and said it after due elaboration as
O. witness before the war investiga-
ting commission. Of course Eagan is
condemned for the vile epithets and
his utter disregard of the proprieties
in giving expression to them in the
place in which he did. 1t is none of
our business however. he is the
same Miles who was in command at
Fortress Monroe when President
Davis was so brutally and cruelty
manacled, and the South has no
cause, therefore, to love or defend
him. Eagan is to be tried by court
martial, and ought to be, and proba.
bly, will be dismissed from the SER
vice. Miles in some way ought to be
forced to resign. The country cannot
afford to have in such high places
men of SO questionable reputation.

An act of the General Assembly o.

An act of the General Assembly OF
Virginia, approved February 9th,
1893, provides for the permanent re-
cord of the muster roll of any troop
of cavalry, or company of infantry or
artillery organized in any city or
county of the State which served in
the Confederate army. The act is an
important one to all the followers of
the stars and bars and they should
see that their names are placed on
these imperishable rolls of honor and
recorded for the benefit Of their des-
cendants. The attention of the sol
diers of the Eastern Shore is especially
called to the act and it should have
their consideration without delay.

General Joe Wheeler was in Rich
mond last Monday, by request of Lee
Camp, to accept in its behalf, the
portrait of Major John Pelham, the
gallant artillerist in the Confederate
army, presented by the sons of Veter
ans. He was entertained at supper
at the Governors mansion after the
meeting at Lee Camp, was given
luncheon at the Woman's Club and 81
reception at the Jefferson DAYS
mansion. IL goes without saying.
that the old hero WAS received in the
Capitol city with every demonstration
of affection and esteem. An ovation
would be given him in any part of
our country. The South can never
fail to love and honor him for the re-
cord he made in the war between the
States. The debt of gratitude, which
the whole country owes 10 him and
which should give him s place in the
hearts of all of his countrymen, WAS
told in speech made by Judge De
Almond, of Missouri, in Richmond,
Monday night, after General Wheeler
had made his speech. In allusion
to the honored guest of the evening,
Judge De Almond said: SIN the shor
war many opportunities were afford
ed the soldiers of the North, but few
comparatively TO the soldiers of the
South; but with the scant opportuni-
ties given, the hero of the Spanish
American war is before you tonight.
But for that gallant soldier, but for
his skill and discretion, the story of
Santiago, 81 Caney, and San Juan
Hill would have been written diff
ferently. There would have been
dropping back and defeat. History
can't be written with the Confederate
soldier left out"

The annual report of the Auditor
of Public Accounts just compiled
shows the financial condition of the
State to be more satisfactory than
has been expected. The real estate
values in the State show an increase
of nearly $3,0OO,0O0. The increase on
realty values in the cities of the Com
monwealth was $1,113,1S0; while the
counties show an even larger gain,
