MR. DINGLEY IS DEAD.
Maine Statesman Passes Away in
Washington.
Hon. Nelson Dingley of Maine , leader of
the Republican side on the floor of the
house of representatives and representing
the Second congressional district of Maine
in that bodj * , died in Washington Friday
night at 10:30 o'clock of heart failure
resulting from weakness due to pneumo
nia. He was unconscious during most
of the day and death came quiely wliile
he slept. To within a few hours of his
death the family firmly believed , as it
has throughout his illness , that Mr. Ding-
lep would recover and it was only when it
became apparent that he was dying that
its members gathered at his bedside. While
the few daj-s preceding his death had
given great hope of recovery , the prog
ress of the disease had made the pa
tient dangerously weak and had seri
ously affected his heart. Late Thursday
night ami again Friday morning Mr. Ding-
lej had a bad sinking spell from whicii he
slightly rallied. There were further evi
dences of heart failure as the day pro
gressed and the strongest stimulants were
administered but without effect , lie failed
perceptiblj during the afternoon and as
night came hope was abandoned. There
were many heartfelt expressions of sym
pathy when it became known that the
Maine congressman was dead.
EAGAN CENSURED.
Investigation Coin mission Scores
Him Tor Attacking Miles.
The war investigating commission on
.Saturday passed a resolution of censure of
( . 'en. Eagan for the language ho used when
he appeared in answer to the charges
against the commissary branch of the army
by Gen. Miles , and returned to him the
typewritten statement he left with the com
mission after reading it to that body. With
it was sent a letter explaining the reasons
for this action ami a copy of the censure.
Following is the letter sent Eagan :
Brig. ( Jon. C. P. Eagan. Commissary
General of the "War Department : We re-
spoctfullj inform you that , regarding your
tcstemonj road jesterday , the following
resolution was uuanimotisij' passed :
"Moved that tfie commission receive
( Jon. Eagan's test imonj without comment :
that it be printed , but hold for the con
sideration of the commission. Carried. "
Having now considered the questions in
volved , wo are determined that iu many
instances the vituperative language used
bv v on is not such as ought to bo addressed
as a witness to this board.Vo think the
personal attacks and irrelevant statements
contained in the papers should be cutout.
and before receh ing it as testimony we res
quest you to revise its language , and..if
you choose , resubmif for our consideration.
We herewith return jour papers. Very
respectfully.

made , and it was then found that she is the
ien
