reverse side to the picture. The great
states of the world differed, but he be-
lieved their disputes might be settled
in spirit of conciliation.
M. Delcasse narrated the diplomatic
incidents in connection with the Fash
oda question and praised General Lord
Kitchener's treatment of Major Mar
chand, the French officer who's opposed
evacuating Fashoda. But, he said, in
the general interest Of France the gov
ernment decided it was advisable to
evacuate Fashoda. The honor of France
was in no way tarnished; but, M. Del
casse believed it was true patriotism to
avoid a conflict which would be cal
amity for the entire world and entail
sacrifices altogether disproportionate to
the interests a stake. The foreign min
lister said in conclusions: France is
always ready to negotiate being con-
scious of her rights. Great chances are
throughout the world and,
therefore it is necessary to walk pru-
IDENTIFY. To complete our task in a dig
nified manner the full support of the
chamber is necessary" The house then
adjourned.

WARNING TO THE PURLTC,
Detectives Warn Against Crooks Now
Going About the city.

The general public is warned by the
detective bureau against a man who is
going about the city under the name of
DR.. Russell and representing that he
Is taking orders for a brand of la
d1es' shoulder braces. 1t seems that the
FELLOW goes around the residential dis
ricts and calling at houses inquiries if
MI. and Mrs. So and So, the people of
the house, are at home. He then says
he is taking orders for the articles men
toned above, but shows no samples.
The police think that he is simply 60
ing around to size up the place, which
he visits, for no good purpose. He is
a young man with black curly hair, a
black moustache, is well dressed, with
no overcoat and is about five feet eight
inches in height.
The police also warn people against
taking checks from strangers. Many
bogus checks are presented at stores
and business places purporting to be
drawn by someone living in another
state. A check was presented last
night at a local store where it was re
fused. 1t is believed to have been a
bogus check, and the detectives are
looking the matter up.

THE CHARGEs AGAINsT EIGAN.
Given to the Press Last Night-On1y
Two of Them.

Washington, Jan. 23.--The charges
and specifications upon which Commits
sary-G General Eagan is to be tried this
week were given out to the press to-
night.
Charge one is for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and a gentleman. The
specification is 'in that Brigadier Gen
eral Charles p Eagan, commissary-
general of subsistence, United States
army, did, while testifying as a witness
before the commission appointed by the
president to investigate the conduct of
the war department in the war with
Spain, submit and read as part of
his testimony a certain written state
ment in which he did make use of and
thereby publish the following disgrace
full, grossly insulting and ungentleman-
ly language with reference to Major
General Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the army Here follows an extract
from that portion of General Eagan's
statement in which he enounces Cen
eral Miles as liar.
Charge two is for conduct to the pref
udice of good order and military disci-
pline. The specification states that
General Eagen used grossly abusive
and unmilitary language with refer
ence to the major general commanding
the army. 1t gives more fully that
part of the statement quoted from in
the specification under charge one. The
precise nature of General Eagans plea
to the charges has not yet been deter
mined upon. SO far as the charges are
it is understood that General
Eagan will not plead guilty to either of
them. A strong legal contest is looked
for in the proceedings before the court
martial.

Society Adopt Resolutions.

The Directors of the American Peace
Society Adopt Resolutions.
Boston, Jan. 29.-The board of direc-
tors of the American Peace society at
a meeting held in this city to-day, Rob-
ert Treat Paine presiding, unanimously
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the sovereignty, or
permanent authority, Of the United
States ought not to be extended over
any foreign people without their free
consent, acquisition of such sovereign
ty by the so-called right of conquest
being contrary to the Fundamental
principles of morality and also to those
Of our national constitution.
Resolved That annexation of the
Philippine Islands would be attended by
great physical and moral evils to our
people, would result in the waste of the
national resources, and would tend to
international entanglements liable to
result in the demand for great bur-
densome navy and army, which would
be fraught with great danger to the
republic. Therefore the islands ought
not to be annexed to the United States,
but allowed to set up q government for
themselves, under such United States
or international supervision as may be
necessary to secure to the islands wise
and stable government.

ANGLO AMERICAN RELATIONS
WERE MEYER SO FRIENDLY SAYS
DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.
Ties of Friendship and Common senti-
meht, Equally With Ties of Common
Interest, Bind the Two Nations TO u
Common Policy in the WOrId-Specch
Greeted with Great Applause.

Birmingham, Jan. 23.-At the annual
banquet of the Birmingham chamber
of commerce, this evening, the Duke OF
Devonshire, lord president of the council
of ministers, said it would be safe to
prophecy that the forthcoming speech
from the throne, at the opening OF par
Lament, would announce that the re-
countries continue friendly. Il think,
said his grace, that if the traditions of
etiquette at the foreign office permitted
it would be possible that this particu-
lar paragraph might be couched in
stronger language. 1t might safely say
that our relations had improved with
the United States-not our nearest
nelghbors, but the nation to which de-
spite geographical distance, we are
nearest in kinship, sympathy ard COM
mon aims. We have come 70 feel that
ties of friendship and common senti-
ment, equally with ties of common inter-
est, bind us to a common policy in the
world. We alone, among the nations OF
the world, feeling as we do that the
aims and objects which will animate
the future of the United States will not
be dissmilar to our own. 1t is safe to
say that at no period within our recol-
lection have our relations with the
United States been more friendly than
at the present moment" (Great ap-
plause)

FOREIGN RELATIONS or ER1ycE.
The Cars Disarmament Proposal and
the FashOdn Incident

Paris, Jan. 23.-During a discussion
in the chamber Of deputies to-day on
the foreign relations of France the min
lister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse.
said that his policy had been directed
towards conserving the permanent in
terests of France. He recalled the role
of France during the Hispano-Ameri-
can war, and said that the appeal ad-
dressed to France by one of the two
nations with which we had equal cor
dial relations was all to the honor of
France and the government could not
refuse its assistance, knowing "that it
would not be misunderstood by our
friends in America" The result, he
added, was a moral ADVANTAGE for
France which no one failed to under
stand"
Referring to the czar's disarmament
proposals, the minister said that
Frances sympathizers supported them
for two reasons-the good of humanity
and respect for the nation with which
her friendship was never more COM
plete than now. France was aware tnat
nothing would be asked of her in the
nature of diminishing her strength.
Relative to the protection of eastern
Christians, Frances historic position
had not been weakened in the slight
est degree. Unfortunately there was

RAILROAD RUMOR DENIED.
DR.. Depew Says President Clark is Not
to succeed Him.

The New York Evening Sun last night
says: DR.. Chauncey M. Depew, when
asked this morning whether or not 1t
was true that the Vanderblts had Sc
cured control of the Chicago and North
western railroad, replied: 1.-THE story
that such deal has been made is un-
true. More than this, there is nothing
which should cause such story to be
circulated"
DR.. Depew also denied that President
Clark of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad was to succeed
him when he went to Washington. "Mr.
Clark" Dr. Depew said this morning,
sailed for Europe recently because of
i'll health. 1t is not likely that he would
be able to assume the burdens incident
to the place. Mr.. Clark will be gone for
four months, and that alone shows that
he is not to take my place.

Anti-Qmax statement.

Harrisburg. Pa, Jan. 23.-A statement
was issued tonight by the steering COM
mittee of the anti-Quay republicans,
which says: 1--WE the undersigned, a
committee representing and acting for
and by the authority of the anti-Quay
republican members Of the Legislature,
hereby enter our protest against the un-
warranted and unusual attempted inter-
ference Of the chief executive Of our
state with the members of the legislature
for the purpose of influencing their tes
for the election of M. S. Quay to the
United States senate. We regard the
open letter of Governor Stone publish
ed by the press this morning, as an
improper interference by the executive
branch Of the government with the
rights and duties of the legislative de
partment of the commonwealth
The statement then recites the alleged
efforts of Quay to evade trial on the
conspiracy charges against him, and
continuing, says: While these proceed
ings were to be argued in the supreme
court on the seventh Of January, Mr..
Quay attempted to force a caucus on
the third day Of January, eight hours
after the organization of the Legislature
This monstrous proposition wiped aside
all precedents and we declined to vote
for M. S. Quay until he had been ac-
quilted of these criminal charges which
he had adroitly lodged, Notwithstand-
ing the above, the governor of this COM
monwealth brushes aside the court and
justice and all the criminal charges In
the case and upon the naked statement
of d. T. Watson, the paid attorney of
M S, Quay, declares Mr. Quay innocent
and the victim of political prosecu-
ton.

COLLEGE, ROWING QUESTION.
Harvard Weekly Bulletins Opinion
Each College Acted Properly.

HhdkN w sVNiy oPAhac'h-
Each College Acted Properly.
Cambridge, Mass, Jan 23.-The Har-
ward Weekly Bulletin, the official organ
of the athletic association of Harvard
graduates, will say tomorrow in an edi-
torial entitled Harvard, Yale and Cor
nelv':
The relations of Harvard, Yale and
Cornell, with regard to rowing, do not
require much comment. The situation
is simply this: Harvard and Yale have
come to the conclusion that they wish
to have their annual race at New Lon
don. They wish to race with Cornell,
in view Of the good record which her
crews have so worthily maintained, but
they are not willing to race at Pough-
keepsie for the reasons stated in the cor
respondence. Cornell has decided, with
perfect right, that she does not wish to
row at New London. or at least does
not wish to commit herself to that at
present.
THE situation, then, is the simple one
of failure to agree on essential con-
ditions and should be dismissed as such.
In answer to the question whether the
stand taken by either party has been a
reasonable one or not, this alone need
be said: The attitude of Harvard and
Yale on the one hand, is endorsed by
those best fitted to advise in such mat
ters and Is supported by student opn-
ion at each university. Cornell's final
attitude, on the other hand is said to
be equally representative of the CORE
spending sources of authority and
opinion at Ithaca. In all reasonable
ness, then, let it be assumed that each
university is best qualified to determine
it's own conduct in the matter"

line proposed by Major Smith S. Leech

This line differs considerably from the

which the harbor commissioners rec
commended is such that it takes in all
