WASHINGTON, d. c., January II
Commissary General Eagan denied him
self to visitors during the afternoon and
was closeted with two officers of his
corps, the belief being that he was devot-
ing himself to a revision of the state
ment that has excited so much attention.
Meantime, the officers of the War Depart
ment give no intimation of their inten-
tons respecting this matter, though it is
suspected that the President has in mind
some method Of indicating his displeasure

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

LONDON, January 1.-THE St. James
Gazette, commenting upon the Eagan-
Miles dispute says that in view of some
what similar occurrences on the other
side of the channel, we are tempted to
inquire whether honor of the army is
a phrase peculiarly appropriated by demo-
cratic institutions, or whether it is speci-
ally engendered by republican forms of
government"
The st. James Gazette concludes its re-
marks on the subject with a shrug of self
assurance, saying Such things could not
happen in England"

press the profound sorrow which both
Mrs. Mckinley and myself feel for you

it comes to me as a personal bereave-
ment.
A great consolation in this sad hour
is a recollection of Mr.. Dingley's ex-
allied character, his domestic virtues
his quiet, useful, distinguished life and
his long-continued faithful service in
behalf of his fellow citizens, who will
always cherish his memor,. as that OF
a great statesman and true patriot.
With sympathy, believe me always,

Is. +. Chronicle.)


The missionary steamer Morning
Star came over from Oakland creek
February Bird and began preparing for
her return TO the South seas, where
she acts as transport for the mission
aries between the islands OF the Mar
shall, Caroline and Gilbert groups and
as trading ship In the interests OF
the Congregational Foreign Missionary
Society.
The Morning Star Is at present at
Beale-street wharf, where she Is taking
on board 200 tons OF coal. She will
later remove to Fremont street TO out
III for nine months cruise and will
sail for the South seas on March 1st
Miss Wilson, who returned In the
Morning Star on her last trip, will go
back in her TO resume charge Of the
girls school at Kusaie. Mrs. Stimson,
the life of a missionary, and her three
children will also be passengers as
far as the Island OF Rlrk.
Captain Bray still commands the
missionary trader. He and his wife
make their home on board, and their
life, for the most part, Is a succession
OF cruises in a well-appointed yacht,
for such the Morning Star Is. She Is
barkentine rugged. but is provided with
auxiliary steam power, and, wind or
no wind, can go wherever her skipper
wishes.
The Morning Star will not return to
San Francisco. Her headquarters are at
Honolulu, where Captain Bray and his
wife usually spend the winter after
nine months cruising among the South
sea islands. The war has interfered
somewhat with the vessels regular
programme. Fear OF Spanish cruisers
induced Captain Bray to winter In San
Francisco, and the continuance Of the
war caused him to keep his ship out
OF commission longer than usual.
There are many Spanish settlers on the
islands visited by the Morning Star,
and Captain Bray preferred TO brave
San Francisco winter rather than
take chances OF losing his floating
home.
