Austria's hesitancy in raising the
rank of her diplomatic mission to the
United States is due to her desire not
to give offence to Spain. Information
to this effect is in possession of the
state department. Relations between
Austria and Spain are very close, and
it would not be surprising if the Ma
drid government had intimated to the
Austrian government that it should
not be too hasty in giving such public
recognition to the success of the Uni
ted States in the recent war. Austria
began negotiations for raising the
rank of the mission, but did not COM
pIete the work.

4 PROTECTORATE NEEDED.

Clay MacCauley, professor of the
ology at Toxic, who recently arrived
i'll Hong Kong from the Philippines,
says that as the result of his study of
the situation at Manila he thinks now
there are only three ways open for the
United States to solve the Philippine
problem. The first is annexation by
force or purchase. To use force means
the most disastrous foreign war in
American history, entailing great loss
of life and expenditure of money.
Moreover it would be a violation of
national honor. Purchase means the
recognition Of the insurgents as allies
of the United States during the war
with Spain; rewarding the native
leaders with officers salaries, employ
and civil offices and also giving them
back pay as allies for some months.
Such purchase would secure a COM
promising gain of doubtful tenure
The Americans at Manila are gener-
ally opposed to annexation in any
form.
The second solution is a complete
transfer of sovereignty from Spain to
a Philippine republic, and sthe reten-
ton by the United States for her own
use of Manila Bay and port, just as
Hong Kong is kept by Great Britain.
This solution means the exposure of
the defenceless Philippines to the
greed of the Powers, with conse-
quent acute crisis in Europe over far
eastern questions. The way is nei-
Their honorable nor wise.
The third possible solution is au-
tonomy under an American protecto-
rate. This means an independent re-
public, controlling the administration
of internal affairs, the United States
taking charge of the supreme judi
ciary and foreign relations, such as the
power Of making war or treaties,
while having control of the customs.
This solution, Mr.. MacCauley' thinks,
might bring about tutelafie, which
would result in the future absolu tie
independence Of the islands or volun-
tary annexation to the United States.
The third way only, he says, means
peace and prosperity, both to the
United States and the Philippines In
any case, immediate action is impera-
tive. These remarks were submitted
to leading member of the Philippine
directorate at Hong Kong. He de-

TO CODRTMARTIAL EAGAN.

President Mckinley annou need to
the cabinet at it's regular meeting, Jan.
II, that he had determined to court
martial General Eagan. Secretary
Alger was not present at the cabinet
meeting, but with Adjutant General
Corbin at the White House was in
conference with the President on the
subject prior to the cabinet session.
In anticipation Of the Presidents
decision General Alger prepared for
his use a list of officers eligible to
serve on the court. Some difficulty
will be experienced in making up the
detail The law provides there must
be at least five and not more than
thirteen officers On 4 sourtmartial,
and wherever possib lie the court should
be composed of officers equal in rank
to the accused. This is not possible
in the case of Gen. Eagan, and some
of the thirteen officers who will COM
pose the court will be of junior grades.
regulars can be detailed for the duty,
although, of course, some of those
selected will hold volunteer commits
sions. Such officers, however, will
rank according to their regular com
missions. Many of the officers who
would ordinarily serve on the court
for the trial of an officer Of Gen Ea
CAMS rank might be considered pred
judicial to that officers interests. The
president of the court will undoubt
edly be General Wesley Merritt, COM
manding the Department Of the East,
and who, by the by, has no great love
for General Alger. The judge advo-
cate will be General Clous, who was
the secretary of the Cuban Evacua-
ton Commission, and is an expert
enced officer of the judge advocate
generals corps. just prior to the
cabinet meeting General Miles made
a rather unusual call upon two of the
members of the cabinet, Sectaries Hay
and Long. He had just returned to
the city from New York, and when
spoken to in regard to the Eagan case,
adhered to his original declaration
that this was not the time for him to
act, if at all.
The commissary general was n
duty as usual at his office, and bust
ness was apparently going along in
the usual way, although it was motto
ed that there were more callers upon
General Eagan of the official class
namely, officers of his own corps,
than is usually the case. Before the
prepared to accept Loyalty VIII atever
action the President decided to take

SECOND PEACE CIRCULAR SENT
TO THE POWERS.

Count Muravieff, Russian Minister
second circular to the Powers express
sing the opinion that despite the
clouding of the horizon since his first
circular, and the fact that some gov
ernments are preparing to increase
their ornaments, the convocation Of
a peace congress is still desira BILE.
The Russian Government thinks it
possible and advisable to have pre-
liniinary Interchange of ideas by the
various cabinets for the purpose of
preparing the way for diplomatic dis
cussion. Count Muravieff suggests
that it is desirable to arrive at an I'M
Outstanding on the following points:
First, to agree not to increase naval
or military forces and the correspond
ing budgets for fixed period.
Second, to endeavor to find means
of reducing the forces and budgets in
the future.
Third, to interdict tho use of any
new weapon or explosive of a power
fuller than now made.
Fourth, to restrict the use of the
most terrible of existing explosives,
and to forbid the throwing Of any ex-
plosives from balloons or similarly.
Fifth, to forbid the employment of
submarine torpedoes and similar con-
trivances.
Sixth, to undertake not to construct
vessels with rams.
Seventh, to apply the Geneva con-
vention to naval warfare.
Eighth, to neutralize vessels saving
those wrecked in naval battles.
Ninth, to revise the declaration CON
corning the laws and customs of war
elaborated at Brussels in 1874.
Tenth, to accept the principle of
mediation and arbitration in such
cases as lend themselves thereto.
The circular reaffirms that nothing
touching existing political relations
shall be discussed. 1t suggests that

CONGRESSMAN DINGLEY'S
FUNERAL.

A state funeral, almost majestic in
it s impressiveness, was given the late
Representative Nelson Dingley, jr.,
where he has so long been such a
commanding figure. The President,
his cabinet, distinguished members OF
the diplomatic corps, members of the
supreme court, Senate and House,
and distinguished men in military and
civil life, were ranged about his bier
on the floor of the hall, while the gal
leries, to which admission could only
be obtained by card, were occupied
floor, and other prominent personages
invited to be present.
Some of them, including a delega-
ton from the New York chamber of
commerce had come from distance to
pay their last tribute of respect to the
dead statesman.
Not since the late W. d. Kelley of
Pennsylvania was given state fune
raj in the House during the 51st con-
gress, when President Mckinley was
chairman Of the ways and means COM
mittee, has such an honor been
accorded member of the House.
The remains were taken from the
Hotel Hamilton to the capitol and
were borne into the hall of represen
tatives by a squad of capitol police
under the direction of Sergeant at
Arms Russell.
The casket was placed on bier in
the area in front of the marble ros
trum of the speaker, and for an hour
the public, which had no opportunity
to witness the official ceremonies later
was allowed to view the remains as
they lay in state. Thousands of peo-
pie streamed through the main door
past the casket and gazed upon the
calm, serene features of the dead
during the hour. Some could with
difficulty be induced by the police to
move away from the casket. The
house pages and other employees of
the House entered the line and took
a last view of the revered statesman.
Mr.. Dingley was well beloved by the
employees of the House, and there
were tears in many eyes.
The decorations Of the hall were
simple but strikingly beautiful. Palms
relieved the rigid corners and palm
leaves arranged in the form of a ire
foil planted in wreaths of galax leaves
and tied with long streamers of pur-
pie adorned the walls. A cluster of
roses and palm leaves were arranged
on each section of the brass railing
about the rear of the hall.

THE RUTLAND r. r. ACQUIRES
THE OGDENSBUR ROAD.

A railroad transaction possessing a
large degree of interest for Vermont
and Northern New York, as well as
for railroad circles gen erally,> is the
purchase Of the stock and bonds of
the Ogde nsburg and Lake Charnplain
Railroad by the Rutland Railroad
company, which is now announced
for the first time. It is expected that
the new owners of the Ogdensburg
line will take possession of the prop
erty in day Or two, and preparations
will be made for the practical rebuild
inc of the road in order to equip it
for the heavy Western traffic for
which it's management will bid.
DR.. W. Seward Webb has been ne
gotiating with Charles arsons, chief
owner :" = 0~(7~->~hurg road, for a
ccnsi.., Ind his success
il acquiring control of that handsome
pro perty practically assures the ex-
tension of the Rutland road to Rouses
Point under the charter granted by
the Legislature to the Rutland Cana
dian Railroad Company. 1t is be-
lieved that this extension will be con-
structed through the islands, sh ort-
ening the distance between Burling-
ton and Rouses Point by rail 16 miles;
and the new management will thus
gain the opportunity to open up to
the travelling public some of the finest
scenery to be found in the United
States, and build up large tourist
business.
The full Importance of this railroad
deal does not appear until all Of its
bearings are understood. 1t is an
nounced that the Ogdensburg road
under its new management will be
operated in close relations with the
New York Central and the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg road
which is also controlled by the Van
derbilts. The Ogdensburg road, which
is 116 miles in length, connects with
the Vanderbilt System at Ogdens burg,
at Norwood and at Malone, while at
Rouses Point it touches the Delawa are
and Hudson, in which the Wander
bits are quite largely interested.
By his genius for large railroad OPP
erations, DIR. Webb has not only sue
ceeded in securing connec ting link
for these different branches Of the
New York Central system, but he has
also consolidated into one trunk route
a series Of lines reaching from Og-
densburg to Bellows Falls, distance
of nearly 800 miles. At Ogdensburg
this road will connect with steamboat
lines from Chicago and other impor-
tant commercial ports on the Great
Lakes. The line will also have work
ing relations with the Canada Allan
tic and other Canadian lines, and an
immense Western traffic will thus be
secured DR.. Webb is also a director
in the Fitchburg Railroad with which
the Rutland connects at Bellows Falls
and it does not need a prophetic eye
to see that very close relations be-
tween the two systems will be estab-
lished with the chances very strongly
in favor of ultimate consolida ton. 1t
is significant in this connection that
the stock Of the Fitchburg has ad-
vanced from par to 100 during the past
few weeks.-Free Press.
