ARMY OFFICERS
WILL NOT TALK

Washington, Jan. 13-Army circles this
morning had scarcely recovered from the
shock caused yesterday by thestatement
of Egan Still in consideration of the mat
ter officers have reached the point where
they begin to appreciate the real gravity
of the event and to understand its pro-
bable effect on the future of the army
and of it's probable influence on leg sa-
ton which may be desired for the mill
tary establishment. Among officers from
the highest rank down nothing is said for
publication though general regret is felt
at the occurrence.
The sober second Judgment of the cool
est minds on both sides, meaning by that
friends Of Egan and friends of Miles, in
clines to the opinion no action will follow
yesterdays eruption. The general feeling
in the matter has narrowed down to
and owing to the presidents promise to
fore the war investigating commission
from consequences OF any testimony they
might give there, no department of the
government can take cogniZance of the
affair
Up to 1:3O o'clock neither Miles nor
Breckenridge had appeared at their office.
Egan was at his desk as usual but refused
to say anything beyond what he had CIV
en- to the war commission yesterday say
ing that the statement was an official ut
terance and fully covered his feelings and
belief in the matter.

THEY ARE EAGER
TO ATTACK MANILA

Herald from Manila says: The situation
here becomes graver hourly. The Herald
correspondent visited Aguinaldo's out
posts around Manila Saturday and Sun
day. The native troops seemed enthusiasts
tic at the idea of an attack upon Manila.
On all the houses are displayed flaming
posters bearing this inscription: "Inde-
pendence or DEATH"
1t is said the native troops in the en- =
virons of Manila number 10000. All pro-
fess great hatred for the Americans. The
correspondent was arrested frequently on
suspicion of being an American, but was
released upon showing his consular pass
port. Aguinaldo's soldiers one and all are
longing to attack Manila. They declare
they will accept no terms except absolute
independence.

passed:
Moved, that the commission receive

Having now considered the question
involved, we have determined that in
many instances the vituperatve Ian
guage used by you was not such as ought
to have been addressed as a witness to
this board We think personal attacks
and irrelevant statements contained in
the papers submitted should be elim-
mated and before receiving it as testi-
mony we require that you revise the
language if you choose to submit it for
our consideration. We herewith return
your papers. Very respectfully,

Sensational Incident Connected With Ne

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 23.-Judge Skip
ton, county judge of Fillmore county,
was brought before the house and asked
if he had anything further to offer why
he refused to surrender the ballots in
his possession and he said no. He was
then asked by the speaker if he still re-
fused to deliver the ballots, and he an
swered in firm voice: II do"
A resolution was then offered by Ohm
stead of Douglas. directing the sergeant
alarms to place Judge Sk1pton in Jail
six hours, which carried after long
discussion.
1t is not known what action Judge
Skipton will take in the matter. When
seen he said that he was going to ''stand
pat" because he believed he was right,
and if the house attempts to carry out
its resolution and place him in Jail, he
will at once apply for writ of habeas
corpus. This will then settle the whole
question commended for by the judge,
which is that the legislature has no jul
risdiction over the judiciary.
AS two seats in the legislature are at
stake, and perhaps the election of a GER
tain candidate for United States senator
depends upon what these ballots may
show, the Importance of having them
may be judged.

House Considers the Bill Re-
ducing Rate of Interest to
Buyers of State Lands.

ST. PAUL. Jan. 20.-Both branches OF
the legislature began work or general
orders during the day and several bills
were considered in committee OF the
whole. In the house Peterson's bill to

the time of payment of unpaid princi-
pal on state farm lands was taken up
and after considerable discussion OF a
favorable nature was advanced to the
calendar. The measure, If passed, Will
reduce the interest on loans from B to 4

payment might be made from ~ to on
years.
H.F No. SO, by Mr.. Dunn, providing

The committee on education recon-
mended the indefinite postponement OF
the Wood bill providing for the free
education of former students In the
state university who enlisted for the re-
cent war.
Three New Measures of Interest.
The introduction of bills occupied less
time than usual during the session.
Only six were introduced and three
seem to merit special attention. One by
Mr.. Roberts reduced the rate of interest
at which the state board of investment
might loan money from 4 to 3 per cent
as the minimum figure. 1t is considered
as very important~measure and has
the cordial endorsement of State Audi
tor Dunn. Another bill by Mr.. Roberts
extended the shelter of the Soldiers
home to veterans of the war of 1898, and
also made the soldiers relief fund avail
able to their applications. The third
bill, by Mr.. Peterson, prohibited the
granting of any pass or frank by any
railroad, telegraph, telephone, express
or sleeping car company in this state to
any state, county, city or village official,
to any member of the legislature or to
any Judge of any court of this state.
