10 sLfsD fHs eTEs Of rsr thctts
President Mckinley knows that The
board OF inquiry wb'eh he talks 30
much about appointing would have no
power TO compel the attendance Of
witnesses lie knows that ths most
important OF these witnessed are the
private soldiers who would be unable
for lack OF meAps 70 attend aud TO ties
tlfy TO what they know. and the board
having no fund which it could draw
upon 10 pay their expenses. they
would not be present
lie knows also that under these al
verse circumstances the Investigation
would be a complete farce and an out
rage, for the friends OF Alger and the
officers OF the department 10 be lnves-
goted would be the only witnesses that
would rush to the front to testify
The board Of inquiry nigh; be hon
est and ever so anxious TO do its duty,
but it is estopped at the very begin
ming for the reason that all its wit
nesses must be Of voluntary class.
Mr. Mckinley knows this, but he pre-
tends to make a show that be wants
this Investigation hoping that he can
thereby blind the eyes of the people
to the real purpose.

NO P0WER 10 COMPEL TESTIMONY
President Mckinley is almost at his
wits end In trying TO select board TO
Inquire into the conduct OF the war
One by one the men he has thus far
selected have declined with thanks.
There are substantial reasons for this.
In the fret place, committee thus
appointed has no authority Of law. II
eannol -ubp9na witnesses and compel
their attendance; it cannot administer
oaths and insist upon answers. Its
members cannot be paid for their SER
vices save by an appropriation TO be
