ADDITIONAL DISPATCHES.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY and Secretary
Alger had conference over the Miles
Eagan scandal. Both realized that
the conduct of Gen. Eagan in using
vituperative language towards Gen.
Miles could not be ignored and some
thing will be done in the matter 1t
seemed likely that court of inquiry
will be decided on to determine
whether Gen. Eagan slandered Gen.
Miles and also whether Gen. Miles
slandered the commissary department.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has decided to
send commission to the Philippines
to make study of the situation and
advise him of what the policy should
b. in regard to the islands. He has
asked Admiral Dewey to be president
of the commission.
THREE commissioners arrived at
Washington from Glasgow, Scotland,

his cabinet particulars regarding the
exhibition to be held in 1891 at Glas-

the Pennsylvania railroad near Rich
mond, Ind, on the 18th. Two trains
collided and both engines were
wrecked and much merchandise de.
stroyed.
A TRAIN on the Illinois Central had
head-end collision with switch
engine at Champaign, ILL.,, and the
fireman of the passenger train was
killed. The passengers were badly
shaken up.
THE Indian nations will try to
collect the traders license tax
from non.citizen merchandise dealers
in the Indian territory. Before the
passage of the Curtis bill the nations
were not in position to enforce these
collections.
IT was reported that the war inves-
tigation commission would soon make
report blaming Secretary Alger for
weakness, but not making him respon-
sible for the camp horrors" censuring
Gen. Miles for making unfounded
charges that bad beef was supplied to
troops; finding that Gen. Shafter con-

Brooke for conditions at Camp Thomas.

regulations.
