The Inquiry into the West Point out.
wEsr PoIsr, N. Y, April e.-The ex-
animation in the case Of cadet Whitaker
began at 1880 to-day. Whitaker was the
first examined. His story agrees with the
first statement.
Cadet Whitaker was on the stand over
9 hours. He first described the assault on
him, reiterating the former story minutely,
saying that the men were genteely at
tired, and he could not tell whether they
were citizens or disguised cadets. Hesaid
he cried loud enough for help for the oc-
cupants in the adjoining rooms 10 hear
him II they had been awake. The tran
som over the door was open, as was also
the ventilator over his desk. BE said the
men had on slippers, or were in their
stocking feet, and one OF the largest carried
either q candle or taper. He did not
even suspect who the men were. When
asked what had been his personal feel.
ing in the last month as TO the probability
OF his graduating he replied, II always
felt that | would get through"
He said he never had special cause for
encouragement before this occurred. He
testified he had no reason to suppose there
are prejudices in the minds Of his instruc-
tors against him, and that he has fair
chance Of getting through as far as they
are concerned, but felt that his social
isolation had an effect upon him so far as
his studies were concerned. When some
pieces OF belt with which he had been
tied were shown witness 1t was revealed
that one piece contained eyelets, which
none but officers belts have, and Whit
taker has never been an officer. His
counsel deemed this important. He also
denied the ownership OF the black neck
tie found in his room.

ST. PETERSBURG, April s.-rhe Agnee
R,sse declares that China has not been
instigated by any foreign power to assume
an attitude hostile to Russia, and it would
be premature to apprehend serious com.
plications relative TO the Kuldja question,
as the nature Of the Chinese purposes is
unknown. Russia, however, Is not ac-
customed to regard the treaty which has
been concluded as non.existent, and II
new negotiations become necessary they
will be carried on under conditions better
calculated to secure the execution Of the
treaty.

Virginia hold regular sessions at Clarks.
burg, and have since the organization OF
the court, in 1919; but there is no build
ing belonging TO the government wherein
court can be held, the county or citizens
having provided buildings, free Of rent,
during all of this time. The accommoda-
tons thus afforded have been inadequate
10 the wants OF the public service, the
officers OF the court having no rooms, and
the quarters furnished the court, jurors
and witnesses being small and uncomtort-
able.
During the past year the court was in
session S3 days, aud there are now on the
docket over 400 cases ready for trial. The
officers OF the court, the Governor OF the
State, and other prominent officials Join In
the petition for the erection Of public
building at this place.
Clarksburg is what is known as dis.
tributiug post-oifice, and large amount
OF mail matter for offices in the surround
ing country is handled and distributed at
Clarksburg. The post-office receipts for
the year 1870 amounted TO S, ,694 50.
The amount OF internal revenue paid
