They are not satisfied with the so called abrupt com mands of military government, alleging that they have insuffi cient liberty, There is, however, no ill feeling. Benjamin F. Fificld, to whom Governor Smith, of Vermont, tendered the appointment ol United States Senator to suc ceed the late Justin S.

The senatorship was thereupon tendered to Jonathan Ross, of St. fobnsbury, chief justice ol the Supreme Court of Vermont, who has accepted the appoint ment, resigning his office as chiel justice.

Several other bills of minor im portance were passed. The bill to change the name of Chocowinity creek to Choco winity river brought forth an interesting discussion. Some of the iiiLUibers didn't waut the name cnanged for fear it would be abbreviated to Chocco.

Chairman Dinaloy Dead. Washington, Jau. 13. Repre sentative Nelson Dingley ol Maine, Chairman of the Com mittee on Ways and Means of the House, died at his rooms in the Hamilton House at 10:30 to night. The immediate cause of death was heart failure fol lowing upon an attack of pneu monia, from which he had suf fered the past fortnight. Gov. Dingley 's death will work a great change in the organiza tion and man igeraent of the House. Speaker Reed largely de pended upon him to keep things moving smoothly and Disability to do this was due to the esteem and confidence in which he was held by all the members of the House, irrespective of party. Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, expressed the unanimous sentiment of the body in hi speech yesterday. Referring to Mr. Dingley, he said: "1 hope for his recovery to health, lor his own sake, for the sake ot his friends and for the sake of his country." Congressman Dingley was born in Durham, Maine, in 1832. He graduated at Dartmouth College, studied law and was admitted to the bar. Later he became editor of the Lewiston, (Me.) Journal. He represented his county in the State Legisla ture six times, was Governor of Maine twice. He was sent to Congress in 1881 and has been re-elected at each succeeding tlection.

The ITerai.d's regular correspondent. Washington, D. C , fan. 18. e mm secretary Alger is ottering as rjreat an insult to the country, by protecting Commissary Ea- gan. as Eagan offered to Gen. Miles, by his blackguardism in cal'ing him numerous kinds of a liar, in his testimony before the War Investigators. If Alger thinks that tbe people will al tow this disgraceful affair to end with Eagan's revision of his tes tirnony, he will find himsell much mistaken. Eagan deserves punishment, just as Alger does, and if they don't get it. so much the worse it will be in tbe end for the administration. There can be no reasonable excuse for any man accustomed to the as sociation of gentlemen, descend ing to the use of Billiussate, no matter how great the provoca tion. In this particular case, Eagan knew that the adminis tration bad done everything possible to humiliate Miles, aud doubtless thought that his abuse of him would increase hts popularity with the Alger crowd. Instead of Alger prompt ly ordering Eagan under arrest, to be cou-t-martialed for lan guage and conduct unbecoming a soldier and a gentleman, he had the nerve to say that Mr. McKinley's premise ol protec tion to all witnesses made it im possible to arrest him, and to come forward with the revised testimony idea. Congress is fairly bubbling over, but is wait ing to see whether the adminis tration intends to do the proper thing; Gen. Miles is also patient ly waiting op the administra tion, and is said to have addi tional facts about the bad beef furnished our soldiers, which ma.) be made public later on. Representative Berry, of Ken tucky, in a speech on the Naval bill, took occasion to administer some sharp and deserved raps at the Navy Department clique, which has so persistently tried to deprive Schley of the credit due him for the destruction of Cervera's fleet, in order that it might be given to Sampson. Mr. Berry- said: "There is no doubt in the minds of the American people who is entitled to the credit of that victory. But there at e people who are trying to steal awav from Schlev, the credit he won on the 3rd day of July, 1898." Senator Allen thinks the right sort ol an investigation of the war could be made by a com mittee of five Senators, no more than two of whom shall be mem bers ot the same political party, aud he embodied his idea in a resolution which he offered in the Senate, and which is now be fore the Military Committee. A funeral is always sad, but a funeral in the Capitol always seems sadder than if it were else where. Two weeks ago funeral services were held in the Senate Chamber over the remains of the late Senator Morrill; to-day in the House of Representatives, oyer the remains of the late Rep resentative Dingley, of Maine. Mr. Dingley resembled Mr. Mor rill in some respects; he was al ways a partisan, but never aroused any personal enimosity on the part of his opponents. Senator McLaurin, of S. C, made a strong speech against colonization and imperialism by this government, in which he re ferred to the change of position on the part of those Senators who are wiling to control colo nies without allowing the igno rant natives to vote. He was referring to Senator Piatt's speech, when he said: "The Sena tor from Connecticut has most amply vindicated the South, perhaps unintentionally, but we thank him tbe more heartily for his complete announcement of tbe divine right of the Caucasian to govern the inferior races." Senator Sullivan, of Miss., made his maiden speech in favor of the Nicaragua Canal Bill, of Senator Morgan's, which is to be voted on this week. Senator Pasco, of Fla.t also made a speech in favor of the bill, which is certain to be passed bv the Senate. The anti-imperialism Senators supported the motion of Senator Berry to consider the treaty of Peace in open executive sessions of the Senate, but they couldn't carrv it. The treaty will be con sidered in the usual way. An attempt is to be made to put the Senate on record, either by an amendment to the treaty or a resolution, against the perma nent ownership of the Philip pines by the United States be fore the treaty is voted upon. There are also two resolutions pending, one oflered by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and one by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, providing for immediate recog nition of the independence of the present Philippine government, having a bearing on the treaty. A delegation from the Nation al Civil Service League threw away some time by appearing Iiefore the House Census Com mittee, to advocate tbe placing of the Census Bureau employes under the Civil Service Rules. Congress is hungry for the pat ronage of the Census Bureau, and no power on earth could make it give up its expected feast on official pap, even if there were any real advantage in having the Census Bureau employes put under the Civ l Service Rules. Calls Cen. Miles a Liar. Washington, Jan. 12. Brig.-Gen. Charles P. Eagan, Commissary General of Subsistence, created a sensation before the War Inves tigation Commission to day in answering tbe accusations against the character of refrig erated beef furnished to the troops in the war. Gen. Eagau made a personal attack on Major Gen. Miles, calling him a lar oyer and oyer again. He said, in effect, that Gen. Mil?s was not fit to associate with decent people, and that either Gen. Miles or himself must get out of the army. Gen. Eagan read his testimony from type written manuscript. It bad been carefully prepared and was read with passionate, fervor. At one time Gen. Eagan said of Gen. Miles: "He lies in bis throat, he lies in his heart, he lies in every hair of his head and every pore of his body; he lies wilfully, deliberately, intention ly and maliciously." At another timehesaid: "If his statement is false, as I assert it to be, then he should be drummed out of the service and incarcerated in prison with other libellers. When the character of Gen. Eagan's testimony became known at the War Department it created a greater sensation there than it had before the investigating commission. Offi cers familiar with array laws said t at Gen. Eagan could not escape a court-martial. Officers friendly to Gen. Eagan in the controversy with Gen. Miles expressed regret that such lan guage had been used by one officer toward the commanding General of the army, and ex pressed the opinion that there could be no excuse for it. An officer of high standing, who is not known to hold prejudices in favor of either Gen. Miles or Gen. Eagan, said, after looking up the military law covering such cases, that the promise of President McKinley and Secre tary Alger that officers should not be held accountable hereafter for testimony given before the War Investigation Commission did not exempt Gen. Eagan from prosecution. Tbe immunity promised extended, he said, only to testimony and not to per sonal attacks on other officers. Obituary. Departed this life, Dec. 26th 1898, Chas. R. Cawthorn, age eighteen years, three months and ten days. He was a young man of good character, sober habits and of whom it could be said, He has not an enemy." His untimely taking off was a severe shock to the mother and family. He was a devoted and dutiful son, bearing the whole support of mother and aged grand parents, having promised he would be their protector as long as he lived. He was a favorite among his companions and in his death as well as during bis life he showed his faithfulness to them. "Great er love hatb no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." May our Heavenly Father comfort the bereaved ones and help them to find consolation in the thought that "The Lord Iovetn whom Hechasteneth and severely trieth every one whom He receiveth." A Friend.

Spain to Abandon the Orient, Manila, Jau. 15 Official dis patches just received here from Iloilo indicate that tbe natives are disposed to be friendly, although absolutely opposed to the landing of the United States forces withot orders from Ma lolos, the seat of the so-called Filipino National Government. oome 01 tne oinciais at 110110 are not in accord with the Revo lunonary government, but are willing to accept an American protectorate, and to go to state the case to Aguinaldo if furnish- ed,transportalion by the Ameri cans.

The natives, though indisposed primarily to furnish the Ameri cans with fresh supplies, now permit the American officers to go ashore and furnish them with an escort during the day time. SPAIN TO Sh'LL OKKIENTAL, ISLANDS. Madrid, Jan. 15. The Gov ernment, on the reassembling ol the Cortes, wilhmmediately ask, says La Reforma, authority to sell theLadrones, Carolmine and Peelew Islands, since Spain is powerless to maintain a suffi cient force to defend them. The Government arrived at this de cision in consequence of advices received Irom General Rios that an army of 4,000 men, a m ln-of- war and twogunboats would be necessary tor the purpose. Guam, one cf the Ladrones, was ceded to the United States. ELImparcial says. "The Gov ernment has no Iresh news Irom tbe Philippines, but private ad- yices prove that the position ol the Arcericans is very grave. Moreover, there are many sick among the American troops."

Wbittier, of New York, recently on duty at Manila. Miss Schley Shoots Herself. Baltimore, Mel., Jan. 15. Miss Anna Schley, youngest daughter of the late Colonel William Louis Schley, a cousin of Admiral Schley, committed suicide at her home in this city to flay by shooting herself through the heart. She was 28 years old and a handsome brunette Melancholy, caused by the shock of her father's sudden death about three weeks ago, is be Iieyed to have led her to take ber life. Her three sisters ate married, and she lor several years had been the constant companion of her father, giving up all social pleasures to be with him in his declining years, and he died in her arms. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of dis ease is tbe worst form of slav ery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells bow such a slave was made free.

The situ ation here is undoubtedly ciiti- cal, but Major General O'tis has it well in hand and there is no such certainty of trouble- n many believe. The rebels are concentrated on the outskirts of the town, and their leaders have issued strict orders that they shall act only on the defensive. An accident might precipitate trouble, but the idea of a rebel attack upon Manila is ridicu lous, as the Americans absolute ly control the position. On Wednesday a false alarm. due to trivial incidents occurring simultaneously in opposite parts of the city, led to a general call to the United States forces. In 15 minutes the entire city was covered. The promptitude of the Ameri can, while it created a scare for the moment, effectually restored confidence throughout Manila and dispelled the excitement due to a passing fear on the part of tbe citizens that an outbreak was imminent. ft is possible that the Filipi nos, after the diplomatic confer ences that have been had be tween the representatives of General Otis and Aeuinaido. have finally come to understand that the cautious and conserva tive policy o the Ameticans is not due to fear, and that thev will accept the inevitable with good grace. It is evident that they are unable to appreciate the full meaning of the indepen dence demandetl, and that, when hey do understand its extent, the American propositions will : ?.'ec-jtblr. Auinalt Jo h is rr publishc'l the coi.d n.ja:?ilcsto n rcly t'jtl.c proclamation ot General Otis, which was recalled on its first appearance. Madrid, Jan. 13. The Gov ernment has received the follow ing official dispatcn from Ma nila: "The American troops here who were ordered to Ilioilo mutinied and refused to start. General Miller has been ordered to abandon Ilioilo and return to Manila. All the American troops have been ordered to concentrate here, the situation being of the gravest character." The newspapers allege that tbe Americans have requested the Spaniards not to withdraw the Spanish troops from Min danao, the southernmost island of the Philippines, before the ar rival ol the Americans there, so as to prevent an i:i2Urt'ction breaking out. Spain ha3 again reminded the Washington Government of the undertaking on the part of the United States Peace Commis sioners with regard to Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos and has asked a prompt reply. Senor Sagasta, the Premier, will convene theCortcz for Janu ary 25 or January 30, and will immediately demand a ratifica tion of the peace treaty. The debate, which is expected, will last a week. Senor Sagasta has caused it to be announced that General Kios has been ordered to preserve strict neutrality with his troops in the Philip pines. According to dispatches re ceived here, the American do main in the Philippines is "limit ed to Manila Bay." All other points, except Mindanao, where the Spaniards remain, are in tbe hands of the insurgents. One dispatch says: "The American volunteers are disheartened by the climate and bad food and are anxious to return home. Women's complexion depends for beauty upon digestion. Dr. M. A.
