Court-Martial over.

Washington, Jan. 80 The case of
Commissary- General Charles P. Ea.
gan, charged with conduct tending to
the prejudice of good order and mill
tary discipline, is now in the hands of
the court martial appointed to try him.
Today the taking Of testimony was
closed, and arguments of counsel sub
mitted. The trial lasted three days
and consumed less than eight hours of
actual sitting. A session behind closed
doors of an hour or so sufficed for the
court to reach a conclusion and en-
body it's report. What the verdict will
be is altogether matter of specula-
tion, and officially at least will not be
made public by the trial board, mill
tary regulations requiring that its find
ings shall go through prescribed chan
nels, and be kept secret until action be
had and promulgated by the proper re-
viewing authorities.

BUTLER'S AMENDMENT.
He Proposes to Provide for ex-Confed-
crate Soldiers.

crate Soldiers.
| Washington, Jan. 2S.-As the senate
seemingly was about to conclude con-
sideration OF the pension appropriation
bill, Butler (Pop. n. c. offered his
amendment announced some time ago,
providing for the pensioning of ex-Con-
tederate soldiers. Upon this he took
the floor and delivered speech which,
as he proceeded. developed into a most
unexpected utterance. While his col,
leagues on both sides of the chamber
listened with interest, Butler defended
the position taken by the South dur
ing the great civil conflict OF third of
century ago. He declared that the
South was right. and that history
would so record, and that every shot
/ fired by Southern soldier was fired
in defense of the rights of his state
constitution, in self-defense, and in
defense of his home and fireside.
The amendment was finally with
drawn.
Mallory (Fla.) was then recognized.
He said that in the very face of the
declaration of our disinterestedness in
Cuba we proposed to take Porto Rico
and the Philippines. He thought we
ought not to be inconsistent. We
could not, therefore, afford to take the
Philippines, although in the case OF
Porto Rico the case might fairly be re-
garded as different. The Philippines,
he said, were 1000 miles away from
our shores, and inhabited by people
with which we could have nothing in
common-a people who were semi-bar-
barous, if not absolutely savage. He
complained that if the treaty of peace
should be ratified, the inhabitants oi
the Philippines, from 1000, 900 to TO-
000,0 in number, would have the
right to come to this country and COM
pete with our own laborers, and if they
did not actually come here, they would
have the right to send their products
here to compete with those OF our own
laborers.

National House.
washington. Jan. 31.-The house TO-
day continued the consideration of the
army reorganization bill until 9
O'CLOCK, when the members paid their
tributes to the memory of the late Rep
resentative Simpkins, of Massachu-
setts. Little progress was made with
the army bill, the only amendment
adopted being that to give veterinar-
ians in cavalry regiments the rank
pay and allowance of second lieuten-
ants. The time before the eulogies be-
gan was chiefly devoted to continual
tlon OF the debate on the advisability
OF retaining the Philippines.

The road not only earned the full per cent last
year the preferred stock. but per cent as well

the property. The common stock Is not likely to
receive a dividend this Cear, but 1t certainly

MISSOURI. KANSAS AND TEXAS.

Many published comments on the business of the
Missouri Kansas and Texas for the last fiscal year
lay great stress upon the fact that working
penses have been cut down from u TO 50 per cent
OF the gross earnings. and conclude from this that
the reduction has been the expense OF the roads
condition. The Great Northern is being for
20 per cent, and the Atchison has reduced operat
Ing expenses from 81 to So per cent. yet adverse
criticism is heard Of these almost marvellous
complishments. In speaking recently Of Missouri
Kansas and Texas affairs. a stockholder said to a
representative of The Tribune that IF the who
manage the road have given faithful and truth
full account of their stewardship, the company has
in hand over per cent for the preferred stock
