valuable member of the feathered king

dogs. They are hunted and slaugh-

Court of Inquiry.
If the president relieves Gen. Miles
from command. as is indica ted, he will
probably send him to a department.
This would, on it's face, be recognized as
severe reproof. With this relief from
command Furnishing him, and the re-
port of the commission contradicting
him, Gen. Miles would be forced prac-
tical]y to ask a court of inquiry. That
he would do so there is no doubt. And
then would come the investigation of
the management of the war depart
ment, with the burden of sustaining
his charges resting upon Gen. Miles.
Should he fail to make good his allega-
tons courtmartial would be the next
thing. It seems probable that the
president will act shortly. The confer
ence at the white house Wednesday aft
ernoon points that way.

GEN CHARLES p. EAGAN.

according to the verdict, is guilty, on
account of his vile language before the
war Investigating commission, of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gen
tleman and conduct prejudicial to good
order and military discipline.
Notwithstanding the nature of the
courts conclusions, the president can
exercise clemency if he so desires, and
Gen. Eagan's friends will urge that his
punishment be confined to relieving
him from the duties of commissary gen
eral of subsistence and to detail to
garrison duty, instead of putting upon
him the disgrace of dismissal from the
military service.
Prompt Action to Be Taken.
Formal announcement of the decision
will reach the president to-day, and on
account of the high rank of the accused
the verdict will be given the distinction
of immediate attention by the president
as commander in chief of the army.
Before he takes final action, though,
there are certain prescribed forms to be
followed. The record in the case must
be examined by a reviewing officer in
the Office of the judge advocate gen
eral and then must go to Secretary
Alger for Endorsement. The delay in
the present case, however, will be as
short as possible.
Prospect Of Medical Inquiry.
The president combines both the par
doning power and the reviewing power
in his own person. He may take into
consideration, and it is generally be-
lieved he will, Gen. Eagan's mental con-
dition at the time he committee the Of
tense which the court-martial has
found of so serious a character as to
justify his dismissal from the service.
With this in view the president may
have good cause to initiate further pro-
ceedings, which would be in all proba-
bility to convene a medical board to ex-
anime into his condition of health. On
their finding of serious mental con-
dition the president could, and posi-
bly, will, order Gen. Eagan placed upon
the retired list as being physically in

capacitated for duty.
In Hands of Judge Advocate.

and the papers came to the judge advo-

channels. Gen. Lieber could not say
how long it will take him to complete

with the papers he will send them along
