Washington, Feb. THE president
today caused to be promulgated the
sentence in the case of General Charles
P. Eagan. The courtmartiaI sentence
was dismissal from the army, and the
president committed this to six years
suspension from duty, which covers the
remainder Of the time prior to General
Eagan's retirement in January, 1905.
The following is the text of the order
of the president:
THE accused, after a trial by court
martial, composed of officers of hlSh
rank and distinguished services. has
been found guilty of conduct unworthy
an officer holding a commission Of the
United States, and obnoxious in the
highest degree TO the discipline and
good order Of the military establish
ment. Such behavior is especially de-
serving of condemnation in an officer
holding high rank in the army ana
charged with the performance of Off
ficult and important army administra-
tive duties in time of great public
emergency, and from whom, when sub
iected to adverse criticism, an unusual
degree of restraint and constant and
unfailing self-cOntrol are confidently
expected. The proceedings, finding said
sentence in the case of Brigadier Cen
eral Charles P. Eagan, cOmmissary
general of subsistence Z. S. A, are,
therefore, approved. In view. however,

on the dollar, had smooth sailing in
committee of the whole until an amend
ment was attached providing d bounty
Of cents on rabbit and squirrel scaips,
when the committee recommended IN
definite postponement of the bill. The
adoption of the objectionable amend
ment was the result of a clever ruse
on the part of the enemies of the meas
uPe.

scented a bill amending section $3.50 of
the revised statutes fixing responsible
ity for the killing of stock by railroad
companies. 1t strikes out the words

fairs the task of drafting in behalf of
the senate suitable resolutions to the
memory of the Idaho volunteers killed
at the battle of Manila.

tending the time for making final pay
ment on state lands. Much of the af-
ternoon was occupied by a discussion
of Easton's bill providing for the pay
ment of county taxes and Gooding's
lawful fence bill. Favorable action was
finally taken on both measures.
The Wright state bank examiner bill
was killed in committee of the whole,
while the same committee recommend
ed for passage the following bills:
House bill No. 1877. by French. eX-
tending the terms of university regents
to six years.

ing for guarantee bonds.

SENSATIONAL COPPER STRIKE
BIG VEIN NEAR THE COLORADO
UTAH LINE.
Ore Runs 70 to so Per Cent Copper
and High In Silver-Continuation
of the La Sale Belt.
(snecial to The Herald.N

Denver, Colo, Feb. THE greatest
copper strike ever reported in Colorado
was made known in Denver yesterday.
The strike, according to c. D. Gurley,
VINO arrived in the city today, was
made in the northwest corner OF Mon
trose county, fifteen or twenty miles
inside the Colorado-Utah line. The belt
is regarded by miners as the same as
has been diligently Drospected for
many months in the La Sale mountains
which lie across the line in Utah.
Mr. Gurley brings with him TO Den
yer specimens of copper running 20 to
so per cent in the metal, and $50 ounces
in silver to the ton. The phenomenal
richness of the ore has created a sem
sation in mining circles of the city. Elk
perienced miners declared that in all
their experience they had never looked
upon such remarkable specimens of
copper ore. In leaving the region the
Denver man Travelled by wagon sew
enty-five miles to the nearest railway
station, which is Placerville. on the line
of the Rio Grande Southern road.
1.-The rich strike" said Mr.. Gurley,
twas made on the property of a Michi-
gan company, whose manager is named
Mcbride. The company has been pros
pecting extensively in the district, and
recently began work about two miles
west of the Dolores river. ComDara
lively little work had been done when
a body of ore seven feet wide was I'M
covered, the high streak being four
and a half feet wide. The strike was
made ten days ago, and wagons were
at once called for, and half a dozen
teams are now hauling the ore to
Placerville. On Thursday of this week
two carloads of the ore will be started
to this city, to be handled at the Argo
smelter. The values are Dhenomenally
high, and the prospectors in the region,
of whom there are about a hundred, are
greatly excited over the discovery

Boise, Ida, Feb 7.-Creoe-draped
flags placed at various points about the
legislative halls today symbolized the
sorrow of the legislators over the death
in Manila of the Idaho boys. In the
lower hall the flag of company B, which
sustained the heaviest loss, was prom
inently displayed, encircled with a
badge of mourning. The flag on top of
the state house was placed at half
mast, and everywhere We're seen evil
dences of the sadness Dervading the
legislative assembly over the loss of
sons OF the state. Arrangements were
made for suitable memorials TO be pre-
scented tomorrow at the forenoon ses-
sion in each house, after which, as
further mark Of respect, the legislature
will adjourn for the day.

There are many indications that Ma

Of the authorities in this respect is
highly reassuring.

Englishmen accidentally encountered a

street. The natives, fearing discovery,
imprisoned them until morning, and
threatened TO kill them unless they
maintained silence.
