Washington, Jan. 18.-In answer to
a dirsct question Secretary Alger, at
the elise OF the official day, said that
the war department had taken no ac-
ton 1nSthe case Of Commissary Gen
eral Easan, but when the inquiry was
pursued hc declined to say word as
TO his Intentions in the matter. It was
apparent during the day that this mat
Yer was teceiving attention, and, in
Iaact, the (ommissary general himself,
spent some time closeted with the sec
fetary. Ihree distinct lines Of action
We're talked, of as within the line Of
probability. The first was strong let
ter OF reprimand to be addressed by
the president himself to Gen. Eagan,
stating that but for the immunity he
had promised ali witnesses before the
commission be would have court
martialed him. The second line was
an actual courtmartiaI while there was
~, A Court of Inquiry.
The purpose Of the latter would be, it
was said, to place upon a military tri-
bunal the responsibility OF deciding
whether or not Gen. Eagan should be
tried by court martial. OF course the
court of inquiry will go long ways
into the mattey. which led up to the at
tack Of Gen. Eagan's statement, pos
sibly causing an inquiry as to the cor
RICHNESS of the charges touching the
character of theEarmy beef preferred
by Gen. Miles, though this would APP
pear to be appointing a second tribunal
to investigate the methods and results
of the first engaged already on the
work. It was stated that Gen. Miles
would not prefer charges against Gen.
Eagan for the utterances delivered by
him before the war investigating con-
mission last Friday, but intends to let
the war department
Deal With the Matter
in it's own way Touching these
charges it is said that there is really
no absolute necessity that any one
shall follow them, although the judge
advocate general of the war depart
ment would be called upon to put
them in shape if it should be decided
to order q courtmartial. It is sug-
gested that the war investigating COM
mission has deprived itself Of the pow
er to make out real legal present
ment against. Gen. Eagan if it was SO
disposed by returning the objection
able paper to him. So far as is known
the statement delivered last Friday Is
not now in the hands of the commits
sion, and the judge advocate who
would prosecute Gen. Eagan in case OF
court marital might be under the
necessity Of taking secondary evidence
! in the shape of newspaper publications
of his statement, all Of which are adj
mittedly nothing more than abstracts.
Perhaps this fact would not have
| much weight with a court martial, but
| in ordinary legal practice it woulo
place the prosecution at a very great
| disadvantage.

a succession Of strong head winds and
gales during the greater part OF her

by heavy seas, hard squalls and very
cold weather. The spray which flew
over the ships sides froze rapidly, in
casing the spars and rigging in solid
ice, making it very difficult to get
about the deck. Two sailors were
very seriously injured. IL

Within the territory north of tho
Ohio river and east of the Mississippi,
the railroad carriers are transporting
the larger part of the interstate traffic
at rates less than those shown on the
published tariffs filed with the COM
merce commission, which are by, stat
ute the only lawful rates. While this
condition continues there will exist
the unjust determinations and the un-
just preferences and advantages be-
tween persons, localities and particu-
lar descriptions of traffic, the preven-
ton Of which is the main object of the
act of congress establishing the inter-
state commerce commission. Only by
securing the uniform charging of the
published rates can the just equality
of service and Of charge required by
law be secured either between persons
or between localities. .. .,

ish ship Adelina sank In this port IN
twenty-five fathoms OF water. The
captain, mate and fifteen OF the crew
were drowned.
Friday the Adelina was taken to the
Eureka dock and all ballast removed
and the hold cleared preparatory to re-
ceiving cargo. She was then towed
to anchorage several hundred yards
northeast Of the st. Paul Il Tacoma
Lumber company's dock wharf, at
which point disaster overlook her. She
had out, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable, the starboard anchor,
weighing at least two tons, while to
either side Of the vessel were attached
the ballast logs used to keep a ship
upright during the absence OF cargo or
ballast. The ship was riding the waves
serenely when the shippers of other
vessels anchored close by retired for.
the night. When daylight appeared no
signs Of the Adelina were visible.
Over the spot where the ship rode at
anchor the night before a danger
signal buoy lamp was visible. When
the absence of the ship was discovered
Captains Buckley and Dudley took the
tug Burleigh and made an investiga-
ton. and it was found beyond the
shadow Of a doubt that the ship had
gone to the bottom One Of the bal
last bars was found attached to the
chain with which it was originally
fastened to the Inflated ship. In addi-
ton one of the life boats, mattress and
supplies for the crew with oars were
found. Beyond that nothing was
found. How the accident occurred
IL Pure Surmise. ~=
Judging from indications, shipping
men say the ballast log found was
from the port side of the vessel. The
ship, according to all accounts was
headed in southerly direction, or to-
ward the head of the bay at the time
the gale swept down the sound. I.he
heavy winds caused the ship to strain
on the chains, making the log on the
weather side taut and giving q ten.
dency to lift the log from the water,
but the strain was too great for one
of the chains and it snapped This re
leased the towering craft from the
greater restraint on the weather side
and she lifted with the wind, and there
being little restraint from the Other
end Of the log, raised it enough to al

floating like q chip, careened under thu
pressure Of the heavy gale, shipping
great quantities OF water, filling com
pletely the hold and forecastle, causet
her to >capsize and sink in very few
minutes. The situation was furthel
