COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Walla Walla Lynching Before
the War Department,

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Sec
retary of the war received telegram
this morning from H. S. BIanford,
prosecuting attorney for Walla Walla
county, Washington, reporting the facts
in the case of the lynching of a mur-
derer by soldiers at Walla Walla last
Friday. asking for action Oh the part of
the war department. The following
reply was sent at once:
Il greatly regret the reported resort to mob
violence by the men of the Fourth cavalry
Such conduct is-fortunately very rare on the
part of soldiers, whose first duty is to main
tain the law. A searching inquiry will at
once be Instituted by the military authorities
and everything possible done to bring the
guilty parties TO Justice
The secretary has determined to await
more definite information from the mil
itary authorities before taking any pos
tive steps in the matter. 1t is thought
at the war department that Gen. Ruger,
in command of the division of the PacI-
nc, will at once order court of inquiry
on the strength of the telegram from
the president at San Francisco to the
secretary directing that this be done.

THE COMING SPEED.

No one among the scientists takes
issue with any programme suggested
for the electrical potency in the future
That it is to be the prevalent motive
power for metropolitan transit is ac-
cepted as already demonstrated. Ii is
gradually being applied to lines of
greater length, and experiments are
making favorable progress for its use in
place of steam on lOcOmotivea. An in
teresting paper was recently read before
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers by o. I. CROSBY, of the
Sprague Electric Motor company, Civ
ing some account of the experiments
that have been going on for a con-
siderable time at Laurel, Nd. He
was a witness and participant in
them, and was sanguine that it
was quite possible to run trains
by electricity at a speed of $50
miles an hour. To operate safely at
this speed, of cOurSe,a a far more substan-
tlal rOadbed and track are necessary
than the common ones. The reports of
the time made by JAY GOULD, on his
late tour over some of his lines, coming
at times nearly to a speed of two miles
a minute, are not credited by railway
experts, mainly from the fact that there
are no tracks capable of enduring such
velocity. A doubling of the time now
made by the fastest trains would re-
quire much heavier rails, a more solid
roadbed and more direct line, with no
surface crossings. In discussing the
subject, the Electrical World has no
doubt as to the feasibility of speed as
high as $50 miles an hour, with about
the same freedom from disaster as
now at the slower rates. 1t re-
CARDS it a question of track mainly.
There is limit to the size of engines
and possibilities Of developing power
Oh the steam locomotive, but these do
not apply to the electrical engines.
There is limit, of course, to the move
ment of any machinery, but this is
pushed far out into the unknown by
electricity. The objection that people
would fear to travel at this seemingly
breath-taking speed is regarded as no
more probable than it was in the earlier
time that lives would be riSked at the
twenty-five to forty miles now common.
1t is stated that fund of $500, 900 has
been nearly made up for making tests
on a sufficient scale to settle the
question whether 1t is feasible
to accomplish the results anticipat
ed, and indicated by the tests
at the Maryland town. The matter is
i'll the hands of electrical scientists, and
there is evidently high confidence in
the ultimate realization of the hopes
raised. 1t is possible that long before
the close Of this century the resident of
Chicago will be able TO reach ST. Paul
in three hours. including stops. The
Gothamte can take his breakfast at
home and enjoy a delightful evening
row and fish on the unsurpassed lakes
of Minnesota the same day. One may
retire in sleeper at st. Paul in the
early evening and look out upon the
Pacific in the morning. 1t stirs the
nerves little to think of humming
along like bird at l50 miles an hour.
but if the experts draw the picture it is
not best to be classed with the doubling
fogies.

BEN BUTLER's BOOK.

The Massachusetts judge who, the
other day, aggravated BEN BUTLER and
caused him the indignIty of nominal
arrest will, no doubt, figure in striking
way in BUTLER'S book that is soon to ap-
pear. 1t is understood that the work is
not to lose any spice and picturesque
ness from humane or mercitul restraints
felt by the author. He is credited with
ambition TO produce a work that will
rival in the popular demand the mem
oirS of L. ). GRANT. Some publishing
house is said to have suggested to BUT
LER that sale of $4,000 copies might be
had. This angered him. In fact. a
Chicago firm proposed to guarantee its
own sales to equal that number. BEN
regards half-milliOn copieS>as very
moderate supply. The reference of
GEN. GRANT to q general as bottled
up may have something to do with the
purpose to rival him as a bookmaker.
This Will be one instance in which the
words of the pSalmist, ''Oh, that mine
enemy would write book" will not
apply. No enemy of BUTLER is anxious
for him to tell all he knows or can
think in print. BEN has a lively
way Of showing up those who have
crossed his lines. 1t is probable that a
leading ipcitement to him in the writ
ing of the book is to get his revenge on
good many people who have incurred
his displeasure in the multifarious jos
things of his long and variegated life.
1t is intimated that the cover will be
raised from scandalous episodes not
known to the public III the lives of
prominent individuals. He will take
some of them down to posterity by
route not of their choosing.

ing the tariff, as has been done, it
would have been money in the pockets
of every one of us. The MCKINLEY

creating sheet of tin plate. 1t has
simply levied forced loan from the

GLOBE if it has given this law that was
introduced by me such study as would
warrant it in using this language.
There was probably no bill that was in
troduced on which there was more time
spent or in obtaining the pass
age of which there was more faithful
work done, and the bill was laid at the
feet OF the governor with the eDdorS-
ment of almost every lawyer in the
house and senate, and with the endorse
ment of the laboring people as ex-
pressed through the Federation of
/ Labor, in which is embraced, as | un-
derstand it, about all the labor organ
izations in Minnesota. Now will tell
the GLOBE why Mr.. Merriam vetoed
this bill. 1t gave the laborer a first
lien for his labor. In fact, that is
what the present law purportS
to do but it gives the ma
terial men all the best of it. This law
that the governor has vetoed the ma
terlal men opposed. They, through
their attorneys, as | am informed, ap-
peared before the governor and argued
for the veto of the bill. Through this
Influence the bill was vetoed, and not
because it was incomplete in any re-
spect, not because 1t was improperly
drawn, not because it was unconStitu-
'tjOnal III part or in whole. Wherever
and whenever labor is to be preferred
in the operation of a lien law as
against the interests of material that
is put into building the material men
will be found to repeal it. And that
was the issue that was involved in this
matter. l don't know what reasons the
governor will have to give for his action,
but do believe that the laborers and
mechanics understand well that no lien
law can ever be passed which gives
them first claim but that will be fought
by the same interests that has fought
this bill. l think when the GLOBE
comes to understand this measure fully
it will not say that the legislature was
derelict in its duty, but the real blame is
to be laid at the door OF Gov Merriam.
Very respectfully, NJ. GALLAG HER.

There is a good deal of hostile criti-

to make from an Endorsement of the AL

every time it has attempted any sort of

ments it has been at the expense of its
