should Be Put Out OF the Army-His
Arraignment Carefully Prepared.
Washington, Jan. 13.-Commissary
General c. p. Eagan yesterday reap
peared before the war investigating COM
mission to answer the charges of Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles concerning the
commissary supplies furnished the army
during the recent war. General Ea.
gan's statement furnished the sensa-
ton of the war commissions history
and was regarded by old army officers
as one of the most remarkable attacks
ever made In the history OF the SER
vice.
General Eagans statement to the
commission was a bitter personal at
tack upon General Miles. so entirely
unqualified. both as to scope and Ian
guage that the war commission return
ed the document to Eagan. instructing
him to expunge the Objectionable Ian
guage.
The subject In controversy was Cen
eral Miles already famous "embalmed
beef" testimony and the letters and
documents supporting 1t. General
Miles had charged that the canned and
refrigerated meats sent to the army
in Cuba and Porto Rico were unfit for
use, that they were preserved by tn
use Of chemicals, and that they had
been bought and sent to the army
under pretense Of an experiment"
This reflection upon both the ability
and honesty of the commsssary depart
ment had angered General Eagan and
caused him to request to be recalled tc
reply to General Miles charges. Thai
Ills statements concerning the com,
manding general were not the result

clearly shown by the fact that Genera
Eagan read his remarks from care

upon the appropriation bills In the
closing hours OF the session for their
compensation.
This custom should prevail no longer.
II an additional number OF employees
Is needed in the house and senate to
properly transact the business Of these
bodies. let a bill be prepared reasonably
increasing the number. II such legis.
lation shall fail II would more than
likely indicate that there was no neces-
sity for an increase. l do not know as
yet whether a necessity for an increase
exists or not; 1t seems to me that the
legislature Is the proper Judge Of that,
but ! shall feel justified in Withholding
my approval from bills appropriating
money to pay employees not authorized
by pre-existing law.
I deem 1t also proper to express the
hope that the present legislature may
refrain from passing resolutions for
investigating committees to .nvesti-
gate industrial and other questions
where the necessity for such investiga-
tion Is not clear. An investigation Is
never necessary unless to inform the
Legislative body fully upon the exist
Ing evils. Where sufficient information
exists to enable the legislature to
remedy admitted wrongs by legislation
there Is no necessity for an investiga-
tion, and IL Is rarely that subject
comes before a legislative body where
investigation and report are necessary
to properly inform the legislators
These Investigations withdraw the at
tentions of the legislators from the
| proper scope and line Of their legisla-
tive duties. prolong the session OF the
legislature and are unnecessarily ex.
| pensive to the state.
The present Legislature. by wisely re.
framing from these errors, can dc

hope that each member Of each legis
lative body will freely communicate hi
impressions and views to me. BY thi
frankness and freedom upon the par
OF the executive and legislative de
partments we will be the better abl
to avoid action detrimental to the stat
and to perform acts that shall be bene
ficial to the state. l shall be glad L

Everybody knows Gen Otis, for his
name stands at the head of brgadic~
generals on the army list, and the mo e he
is known the greater he grows. Ge'.. Otis
succeeded Gen. Wesley Merritt in tn,
management of the army of the Philip
pines, and has the universal reputation
of being an excellent soldier. In super
intending the affairs of the army, with
Dewey looking ont for the navy, he has
shown unusual administrative talent, and
his knowledge of civil government, tariffs
and economics is as great as that of any
officer i'll the service.
BY birth Gen. Otis is a Maryhlnder. He
Is now entering upon his sixty first year,
but is exceedingly young in spirit and
physique. He graduated from Rochester
University in 1853 and was admitted to
the bar in the following year.
When the war broke out he went to the
front as captain of infantry, becoming
colonel of the regiment and brigadier gen
eral of volunteers in 1864. In all the
princip, battles of the Army of the Po-
tomac he took part, and in the desperate
fighting around Petersburg he was
wounded. For fourteen years he served
on the frontier in various Indian cam
paigns. When war was declared against
Spain he was in command of the depart
ment of the Colorado. and il seems fitting
that most of the enlisted men in his corps
are from that State and the Pacific slope.
Gen. Otis work in Manila, however. bids
fair to be the grandest monument that
man in his or any other position could
srect for himself

His Feet.

The phrase "small vanities'' does not
seem vague until one has asked several
people to say what they would mean
by 1t. Dickens liked a red necktie, and
other celebrated men have been child
ishly devoted to certain articles OF
dress; but that might only indicate
their having a sense of the beautiful.
There is, however, a kind of precau-
ton over personal detail which seems
to proceed from vanity and from moth
ing else.
Maclise, the artist, once did a full
length portrait of Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, and a sorry time he had of 1t.
For the author was hard to please; now
this was not right and now that. The
complexion of the hand was to be
especially noted, and the painter must
be very particular about the feet. The
feet, indeed, caused no end of annoy
ance. Bulwer insisted on having them
very small, but Maclise painted them
the natural size. Then Bulwer came
10 see them, and would have them
diminished.
The artist yielded, perforce; but he
had one resource, vanishing day. when
pictures can be "retouched" so long as
time will admit. Then and there he
quietly painted in the feet again of the
proper size, and the author had to see
them thus on the day of exhibition.

1t takes 37S employees to look after the
wants of Missouris lawmakers.
Last year New York State spent nearly
so, 100000 on various public charities.
The benefciaries of this enormous sum
numbered 2.500,000 persons.
San Francisco's city hall is completed
at last. 1t was begun twenty-seven years
ago and the salary of the men in charge Of
it was sufficient indueement for them to

There are sixty-five Democrats in the

publicly the private opinion that office

ter which had developed in the southwest
and brought milder weather as far as ii
extended.
Even the balmy South did not escape
from the wave. A storm swept along the
Florida coast, and was attended by pre-
cipitation throughout the Southeastern
States. In the interior of Alabama and
Georgia the first real snow of the winter
fell. New Orleans shivered with the tenn
perature near the freezing point, and resi-
dents at Tampa and Jacksonville, Fla,
plunged through the rain with umbrellas
at an angle of 40 degrees to windward
The people of New York got Il taste of
the cold wave, and the people of Boston
had weather Is degrees above zero. Only
San Francisco ard the people beyond the
Rockies were safe from intrusion by the
cold wave, and San Francisco basked in
the sunshine with the temperature at 81
degrees.
The cold brought with it great suffer-
Ing for many people, especially among the
poor in the cities. The homeless wander
ers Of the tramp and "hobo" classes were
by no means the worst off, for they collect
ed in the police stations, where they had
at least shelter and warmth, even if the
quarters were crowded and uncomforta-

where there was no money for fuel and
hardly any warm clothes for the protec-
tion of the inmates, the suffering was very
severe.

Nicaragua Canal Bill.

Paradoxical as it may seem, the NicarG-
qua canal bill provides against watering.
Boston Herald.
A canal between the oceans has always
been an urgent need, but never before was
it's urgency so clearly recognized as now.
Troy Times.
Uncle Sans canal company is to be a
limited affair. He doesn't want any part
ners, and if he can't control the Nicara-
qua ditch he will dig somewhere else
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The immense majority which the Nor
gan Nicaragua canal bill had in the Sen
ate proves that the scheme for an inter
oceanic waterway will soon be in practi-
cal shape.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
The canal has been a dream for half a
century, and now that it comes within the
range of the possibilities the vote in the
Senate is interesting as yoicing popular
opinion in the matter.-Pittsburg Times.
The bill will pass the House even more
easily than the Senate, for that body the
more closely represents the people, and
the people have long been in favor of the
construction of this canal or some canal
connecting the two oceans.-Watertown
Times.
The American people are even more
nearly unanimous in favor of the canal
than this Senate vote indicates. Indeed,
the Senators who go upon record in oppo-
sition to this bill claim to favor an 18th
mian canal Only they want it under
different conditions.-UticaH Herald.
