A WISHING Nation.

In no other part of the world is kiss.
ing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute Indeed it is more of a
greeting than caress.
In public affairs, as in private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If lillipu-
tan corps of cadets have earned the i'm
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
it on with hearty report to his neigh
Dor, he in his turn to the next, and so
on, through the whole Juvenile body.
On holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of house will
not only kiss all her maidservants, but
all her menservants, too, and if the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek
To judge also from the number Of
salutes the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt-
ed felicity. A gentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing his
wife either on her forehead, cheek or
hand

CALLS MILES A LIAR,
EAGAN HARSHLY ATTACKS THE CON-
HANDING GENERAL.

Furnishes Sensation of War Commission's
Hearing-Says General Miles Should Be
Drummed Out of the Service-Latter
Declines to Make Any Statement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Commissary
General Charles P. Eagan yesterday re-
appeared before the war investigation
commission to answer the charges of
General Nelson A. Miles concerning the
commissary supplies furnished the army
during the recent war. General Eagan' g
statement furnished the sensation of
the war commissions history and was
regarded by old army officials as one of
the most remarkable attacks ever made
in the history of the service. General
Eagan's statement to the commission
was bitter personal attack upon Gen
eral Miles, SO entirely unqualified as to
scope and language that the war COM
mission on hearing its conclusion
ordered a brief executive session, after
which the doors were opened, the wit

Eagan Must Stand Trial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The president
yesterday announced at the cabinet
meeting that he had decided to order a
court martial to try Commissary Cen
eral Eagan for the abusive and violent
language he had used respecting Major
General Nelson A. Miles while on the
witness stand before the war investi-
eating commission last Thursday.
Contrary to the general expectation,
no announcement of the Eagan court
martial was made at the war depart
'nent yesterday. The fact that Secre-
tary Alger was not present at the cabi-
net meeting was accepted as sign of
trouble in the cabinet, and soon the
usual rumor of dissensions and an in
tention on the part of the war secretary
to resign was afloat There was no
foundation for these in fact, and
Secretary Alger's colleagues promptly
and emphatically denied them as soon
as their attention was drawn to them.
In the absence of the detail for the
court martial there was great deal of
speculation as to it's composition The
mention of General Merritt's name as
president of the court is due to the fact
that he is the only remaining major
general of the army. The offense for
which General Eagan will probably be
tried, conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman" is one of the most
severe known in the army.
Secretary Alger last night confirmed
the announcements that q court martial
would be ordered today. General Ea-
gan has not been relieved of his duties
in anticipation of his expected trial, but
it is understood that the order for his
arrest preparatory to trial will of itself
carry with it his relief from official
duties.

ness recalled and business resumed in
the usual way. The subject in contro.
versy was General Miles already ia.
nous "embalmed beef" testimony and
the letters and documents supporting it.
General Miles had charged that the
canned and refrigerated meats sent to
the army in Cuba and Porto Rico were
unfit for use, that they were preserved
by the use of chemicals and that they
had "been bought and sent to the army
under pretense of an experiment"
Eagan's Sensational Reply.
This reflection upon both the ability
and honesty of the commissary depart
ment had angered General Eagan and
caused him to request to be recalled to
reply to General Miles charges. That
his statements concerning the COM
manding general were not the result of
sudden outburst of passion, was clear
ly shown by the fact that General
Eagan read his remarks from a care
fully prepared typewritten copy. Not
the least remarkable phase Of General
Eagan's statement was the language in
which it was couched. There was
scarcely a phrase that would not have
been characterized as sensational i'll or
binary official utterance. He denied
numerous statements of General Miles,
charged that the latter's testimony con-
stituted severe reflections on the COM
| handing general of the expeditions and
referred to him as 'sthis same COM
manding general, Nelson A. Miles, y
and said whoever called the beef fur
nished "embalmed beef was a 'sliar.''
Commissary General Eagan, in the
course Of his testimony, called Major
General Miles a liar, ""who lied in his
throat, lied in his heart, lied in every
part of his body" (which perpetrated a
gross scandal and who should be
drummed out Of the service and impris.
oned" and "should be avoided by every
honest man and barred from every
club" He characterized his interviews
as "filth."

BUT FEW NEW FEATURES.
Business In General Continues 10 Boom Along
at Rapid Pace.

With comparatively little stock or other
speculative activity and with few strik-
ingly new features presenting them
selves, the general business Of the coun-
try goes forward at good pace, and in
unprecedented volume for this period OF
the year. Reports indicative of this
come from most leading markets, ad-
ditlonal proof being furnished by the
steadiness Of most prices on the high
plane recently reached, the very heavy
business being done by the transporta-
ton interests as reflected in enormous
railroad earnings, reports Of expanded
demand, heavy export trade totals and
reported cheerfulness of the outlook as
to the balance Of the year.
Fall trade activity would appear to be
at its maximum, judging from advices
of activity and strength of demand, re-
ported alike from western and eastern
markets, and shared In also by most
south Atlantic and interior southern
cities Yellow fever at some southern
points, resulting in quarantine regula-
tions. has tended to restrict business at
few markets, notably New Orleans,
while unfavorable crop and weather
conditions limit business at Galveston.
Iron and steel are very quiet, but very
strong, at the east Blast furnace re-
ports show that current consumption
and production are not far apart but
production fails to show the expansion
looked for, and, while current work Is at
the rate of 100000 tons per year, esti-
mates Of the years production do not
run much beyond 13,500,0O0 tons.
The notable strength in cereals this
week is shown in corn. Little change is
to be noted in wheat, though the govern
ment report was stimulating.
Weather conditions are partly respon-
sible for the better demand for butter.
Wool Is firm at all and higher at some
markets. Wooden goods are strong
though some manufacturers complain
that the advance in raw material ha
outstripped the gain in the manufac
tured product. A number of mills ar
reported to have instructed their agent
that their order books for spring de
livery are full.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and

and have long been in the habit of
making matches between those owned

match gamecocks and some Americans

match Is made the parties to 1t having
laid their bets bring their specimens
Of the fierce little Beta pugnax in
globes Of water. Both are put into one
globe and without a moments hesita-
ton they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one Of the COM
batants Is killed by the other.
1t is only year or two since speci-
mems of this fish were brought to
Paris, but now many are owned in
Paris, and 1t is said that the demand
for good specimens Is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with red and blue and would attract
attention In any aquarium by their
colors alone. The savage nature be-
hind the beauty would hardly be sus-
pected.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
