I'm Exception to the Ruling OF the Court.
and Two DemurrerS TO the Charge.

When the Wales court-martial met this morn

plea of the defense to the Jurisdiction of the

AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULING OF THE COURT
Mr.. Wilson, counsel for DIR. Wales said he de.
sired to have noted on the record an exception
to the ruling of the court, and also an exception
to the irregularity of the proceeding.
"The counsel" said Admiral Simpson, =" must
not presume to reflect upon the irregularity Of
the Proceedings of this court.
Mr. Wilson diSclaimed any intention or re.
lecunS upon the court. III was SIMPLY u Qoes

The statement" said Admiral Simpson
that counsel takes exception, then, would seem
TO be ample
Mr.. Wilson said that all the defense desired
was TO have these questions brought properly
before the reviewing authority.
Mr.. Blair, for the prosecution, insisted that
the exception should be more specific. II SHOULD

mltted the exception to the record in the form
Ia which it was put by Mr.. Wilson.
DEMURRERS T0 THE CHARGE.
The judge advocate was about to proceed with
the arraignment, when Mr.. Wilson presented
two demurrers TO the charge. The first alleged
that in the case Of twenty-four specifications
under charge one, the acts or events referred to
occurred more than three years prior to the
date of the charges, and could not therefore be
made the basis of charge. The second set Out
tnat the specifications under the charge OF ne.
eject of duty We're insufficient, and did not SCI
| out wherein he had been negligent.
Mr.. Blair argued that the uestion OF limita-
tatlon should be raised by plea and not by de-
murrer, so that the prosecution could intro
order governing navy courtS-martial, which SCI
forth that no officer could be tried for ofienses
which appeared to be known to the onvenins
authority three years before the trial. They
had Alright, and it was their duty, to show that
the acts set out in these specifications were not
known to the Secretary Of the Navy three years
ago.
After argument, the court decided not to ad-
init the demurrer, raising the question OF limi
tation.
After the midday recess the second demurrer
was overruled.
PLEA OF NOT GUILTY.
Mr.. Wilson then filed a formal plea raising
the question to limitation set out in the firsl
demurrer filed.
The accused was then arraigned and pleaded
not guilty to each of the two charges and the
siXty-iour specifications supporting them.
The court adjourned till Monday.

An Outline of the Scope of the Pro.
posed Investigation,

The commissions of the seventeen special
agents of the labor bureau, appointed last even
Ing by Secretary Lamar, "a list of the names is
given elsewhere), will be made out to-day and
as soon as possible Commissioner Wright, who
left for New York, will assign them the sections
of the country where they are to conduct their
inquiries. Four are to go to Europe, and the
rest will work in this country, the commissioner
having personal charge of the work in the New
England and middle states. The agents are to
receive "a per day and expenses and will be in
structed to send the results of their work to the
bureau in this city, so that the necessary COM
pilation can be made for the commissioners
report, which he expects to make to Congress
at its next session. The object of the investga-
ton will be in a general way to discover the
causes of the periodical industrial depressions
which are said to occur every ten years. and for
which different causes have been assigned, the
Over-productiOn. In this connection the agents
will be instructed to ascertain the effect of i'm
ported contract labor on the important indus
tries, the effect on native labor which it dis
places, and whether in the end it
proves advantageous TO the contractor; also,
the the effect tho of suen Labor on
the contract labor and laborer, and a ceanRae7
ison between the effects here and abroad.
Another feature of the investigation viii be an
inquiry into the influence of foreign capital in
developing the industries of this country. An
endeavor will be made to ascertain the labor
cost Of articles in the various industries. as, for
instance, the labor cost of a yard of cotton
cloth and ton OF iron. The agents will also be
directed to ascertain the exact composition of
labor in large industries, As. for instance, in
cotton mills, how many weavers carders and
loom tenders, and a comparison in this respect
instituted between the different sections of the
country and foreign countries: also. the cost of
clio hing, food ,tueland hOusngwll be tscertained
In their effects upon wages, and what proper
tion of the skilled labor is foreign and native
Some investigation will also be made into the
displacement of muscular labor 10y machinery.
AS a whole, the commissioner says that the in
efforts in this direction, which had mainly to
do with the wages and a comparison with those
abroad. He believes that he has obtained an
efficient corps of special agents, and anticipates
valuable results from their work.

Murdered by His Comnanion..
ITALIAN RAILROAD LABORERS KILL ONE OF
THEIR NUMBER,


THEIR NUMBER.
KOKoMA, IND, May 16-During last fall
eighteen Italians procured work on the new
Lafayette, Burlington Western railroad.
Four of them rented an old out-building twelve
miles west of the city, where they remained all
winter in hopes OF getting the wages due then,
from the railroad company. On Monday, ii 9
9th instant, they were seen burning up rubbish
near their cabin. Tuesday they boxed up their
things, stating that they were going to Chicago.
But one was absent and the remaining three
bought tickets to Cincinnati. Nothing mole
was thought Of the matter until Thursday
morning, when Buck Livingstone and w. T.
mattress and two pillows in the house bad y
stained with blood: On going Gown The ravii.,
100 yards from the house they discovered a
fresh pile of dirt and began to dig. Finding O
mans arm. they sent word to Coroner smith, Of
this city. The coroner had the body diSin.
tered. and 1t was identified as that OF Antony
tractor on the railroad works. He had his
skull crushed In. There is evidences that the
other Italians had threatened him, believing
that he was responsible for their not getting
their pay, and this most probably was the
cause OF the deed, as Nicoli had neither money
nor valuables to tempt them.
