PASSED THE sENATE:-The vote on
the Nicaragua Canal bill was delayed
until Saturday afternoon, mostly by
obstructive tactics when it was passed
after having been amended, by vote
of AZ to 6. If the House commerce
committee would report this bill as
it is, it could be passed, but it is
feared that it will not. If it doesn't,
the chance for getting it through at
this session is slim.

The court-martial ordered to try
Gen. Eagan for his insulting Ian
guage towards Gen. Miles, will assem-
BILE in Washington this week, aud
proceed at once to business. unless
Gen. Eageu requests delay for the
purpose of preparing his defense,
Such reqsest would be granted, if
made: in fact, it is considered right
of all officers called before a court
martial. 1t is not expected that the
trial will be long, after it gets started
nor is there much doubt of the
verdict, although there is much
doubt as to the punishment Gen.
Eae an will finally get. The army
regulations prescribe dismissal from
the army when found guilty of the
charges upon which Eagan will be
tried, but there are few who believe
that the President will allow so ex-
IRENE penalty to be imposed.

GEN. MARCUS F. MILLER.

General Marcus F. Miller, in
command of the United States forces
at Iloilo, is the American military
hero of the new year. The Philippine
rebels are finding him hard man to
handle. They demanded that he
take no action until Aguinaldc could
be heard from. The general said
sNo" and prepared to land his troops.
Then the foreign residents besought
him to wait. Again Miller said NO"
The general is evidently going to
make Dewey of himself. The in
surgents will find him soldier of far
more experience and ability than any
Spaniard they ever encountered. He
is regular army man, West
Pointer of the class of IS, and has
served pretty fair apprenticeship in
fighting wild men in his own America
where he had several interesting
iousts with Indians. Gen. Miller
distinguished himself in the civil war.
He was brevetted captain, major and
lieutenant colonel for his services at
Malvern Hill, in the Winchester cam
paign, in the battle of Dinwiddie
Court House. For his skillful and
courageous conduct in the Indian
wars of Idaho and California he was
given brevet of colonel. Ever since
he left the military academy-forty
years ago-Gen. Miller has been in
the service of his country, and his
record has been capital. AS a. colonel
of the regular army, before his pro-
motion, he had full charge of the
defenses of Sau Francisco, and at
that time he was in command of the
Third United States Infantry. He
is brave man and will take no non.
sense from the Filipinos, who have
been high-handed and exacting.

many other patriotic citizens, thor
oughly disguised with the game of
small politics the Democratic Sena-
tors, with five or six exceptions, are
trying to play for the control of the
Democratic party, with the treaty Of
peace; but he knows they cannot in
jure him or the Republican party or
the country, and that, although they
can delay the ratification of the
treaty, they cannot prevent it.. The
most that the obstructioniSts can do
will be to prevent the treaty being
voted upon at this session of Con-
gress. In that case an extra session
will be called to ratify the treaty.
Neither President Mckinley nor the
Republican leaders of the Senate,
will consent to the compromise Of
fered by the obstructionists to amend
the treaty by binding this govern
ment to particular policy towards
the Philippines.
