Ch apIafn.

The term chaplain" (capellanus) was
originally employed to describe a person
who served chapel Later on the name
was applied TO clergy who lived In the
house OF q nobleman, being engaged to
conduct daily services and to minister TO
the household The chaplain was not in
frequently man of letters, who combined
with his spiritual duties the privilege OF
using and being responsible for the mag
nificont private library which his patron
had inherited or acquired. Sometimes,
however, the chaplain was looked upon as
.alding position inferior to that Of the
rtewnrd or butler. Tho estimate of his
status was not infrequently, in former
days, on a par with that OF the ordination
candidates rs illustrated by the following
story, which is told OF one of the prince
bishops of Durham:
1t is stated that hi1 lcrdship, while oon-
descending to entertain the candidates for
the ministry IN his palace at Bishop Auck-
land, m2do it rule that they should have
their meals in the servants hall. He did
not trouble himself much with any per-
sonal intercourse with them, the meageP
examination into their qualifications for
their future calling being conducted by his
chaplain. But on the Saturday night pre-
ceding the ordination he usually sent for
his butler and instructed him TO see wheth-
err there was gentleman among the
guests, and If so TO bring him up to the
dining hall to drink glass Of wine with
the hishop!-Quiyer.

For War Commission.
sAwashingtop, January IL -Commissary
General Eagan sent to the war inyesti-
CATION commission revised statement In
place of that originally made In re-
Spouse to Gen. Miles's charges.
The following is the text:
Office Of Comm issary General Of Subsis-
tence.
Washington, January 10, 1899.
To commission appointed by the Presi-
dent to investigate the conduct OF the
war department in the war with
Spain:
you here With my testimony whic h is now
re submitted and revised in accordance
with tho views expressed by you in your
letter to me OF January IL, 1883.
The Objectionable features and what Is
considered irrelevant matter by you. in
which opinion l entirely agree, are
eliminated. In this connection / desire
TO state that there was never a thought
or intention on my part OF any disre-
spect whatsoever to your commission, but
In explanation and in extenuation OF the
language used by me, heretofore. / beg to
invite the attention OF the commission
to the fact that l havs been accused prac-
oned beef, which made them sick, "em-
balmed beef" so-oalled. that have fur
nished meat to the army, under the pre-
tense OF experiment, which charge In
effect Is corruption and worse, because 1t
jeopardizcs the lives OF soldiers cent to
the front In tropical climates and who
were dependent upon such food as was
seut them; that these statements have
gone to the whole country uncontradict-
ed that they have been published and i
have been pilloried in the press OF the
country as IA man who has fed the army
on poisoned meat and corruptly so; that
for about three weeks time have kept
silent for the reason that was debarred,
after talking with the honorable secretary
Of war, from preparing charges because
Of the immunity granted by the President
to witnesses before your commission.
Notwithstanding the gravity OF the &C.
cusations; that 10 Is unreasonable to be-
lieye that such monstrous charges could
have any other effect than to work upon
an honorable man in such n way as to
goad him to species Of desperation
and that 1t was but natural when the
proper opportunity was given him, to
meet and refute the charges, that he
should characterize thsm In harsh lang
uage and in terms that are deemed inn
proper, no matter what the provocation.
| therefore withdraw the language and
matter SO objectionable and re-submit to
you. now my sworn statement with the
abiding faith that your commission hav-
ing all the facts before you will decide the
points at issue justly.
Very respectfully,
Charles p. Raglan,
Commissary General.
The commission after a brief executive
session decided for the present to make
public only Gen. Eagan's letter, and
not the accompanying statement.

Of u candidate. The Union meeting was
presided over by State Senator Allies, who
Is the Union Republican state chairman
and the members voted unanimously Tor
J. f. Addicks. They contend that their
gathering was the regular caucus OF the

the Republican nominee. In this, how
