TESTIMONY IN REBUTTAL.
Defense in Clark Case Rests for the
Present.


When the Senate committee on elections
met this morning Mr. Faulkner for the de-
Tense in the Clark case, announced that he
had determined to rest for the present. He
said there would be two or three other wit
not now in attendance.
Mr.. c. w. Clark was recalled for a few
unimportant questions. and then Attorney
the stand by the protestants in rebuttal of
Mr. Clark
Mr.. Nolan said he had become acquainted
with Marcus Daily in 1885. and that while
he had been in Office since that date Mr.
DAILY had never In any way attempted to
interfere with him in the performance Of
his duties.
Referring to the grand jury proceeding
Mr. Nolan said that he had told the court
that the $4,000 used by Whteside in his
exposure was evidence either of conspiracy
on the part of Whiteside OF Of bribery on
the part of Welcome. and that he insisted
on Il finding one way or the other.
Mr.. Nolan made stenographic notes Of
the proceedings Of the grand jury, which
were used before the state supreme court
and in this proceeding.
Senator Pettus questioned him sharply as
to the legality Of making public the pro-
ceedings of a grand jury.
The question caused a long discussion
among the members of the committee.
which was at last brought to an end by a
statement from Chairman Chandler to the
effect that 1t was not material to the pur-
poses OF the committee whether the notes
were properly or improperly used.
The witness said that he had participate ed
in the campaign of 1898 In the interest Of
the democratic ticket. The expenses of the
state committee were. he said about 50 600

MANY CoURIsaaARTIAL CASES.
Military Justice i'm the Philippines
Evfdentlx Very Active.

Military Justice in: the Philippines
Evidently Very Active.
Military justice ifi,tte Philippines has ev-
identity been very ective during the past
few months. as thaslates mail from Ma
Mia has brought over 200 court-martial
cases for the :fnal consideration Of the
Judge advocate general Of the army. Most
of these cases Are on account of ordinary
infractions Of the articles of war and the
military regulations, and with few excep-
lions do not call for any punishment be-
yond short Imprisonment and dishonor-
able discharge.
There are, however, several serious cases
in the lot just received. Including one cap
ital case, that of a soldier named George
Murphy Of Company c of the Path Infantry
who was court-martialed on the charge of
murder, in having shot to death Private
Saul Copes of the same company at Ell
Deposdto in September last. According to
the record in this case the two men had
quarrel over some personal matter. and
at a subsequent meeting, while Copes was
seated in his tent, Murphy entered and fired
several shots into his body. These cases
will be reviewed and prepared for the &C
ton Of the President. where necessary, by
Judge Advocate General Lieber and his as
sistant, Maj. Carbaugh.

COSTS IN ADVANCE.
Right of Justices to Demand Them
Legally Questioned.

Right of Justices to Demand Them
Legally Questioned.
The trial of the case Of William R. KILL
mon against Chas. Pirtle, which involves
the right Of a justice Of the peace to de-
mand costs from the plaintiff in advance
where a motion tor trial by jury Is made
was begun this morning before Chief JUS
tice Bingham in Circuit Court No. /.
The case was brought to the upper court
by a writ of certiorar, issued at the tn
stance Of the defendant, because the Justice
Of the peace below had refused to issue a
venire unless the party demanding the jury
first deposited costs. Attorney Wilton J.
Lambert argued to the court on behalf Of
the plaintiff, contending that the recent
case of the Capital Traction Company
against Hof, decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States, held that the jury
provided by a justice OF the peace was not
such as the seventh amendment to the Con-
stitution guaranteed, and, therefore. the de-
cision of Justice Hagner, which, in a case
similar to the one on trial, held to the con-
trary, had been overruled.
Attorneys Bright and Prentfss, On behalf
Of the defendant, spoke in favor Of sustain
ing the writ. Under the present practice,
1t is said, all the justices Of the peace de-
mand costs to be deposited in advance, but
some have construed the law to require the
plaintiff to always advance such deposit
where a Jury Is called for, while others
have required the party making the de-
nland to do SO, thus rendering the practice
very unsettled.

THE ARMY WAR COLLEGE.
Purpose and Scope of the Proposed
InStitutiOn.


The main purpose of the proposed war
college for the army, to be established in
this city. is in general to further the higher
instruction of the service, to develop and
organize in accordance with a coherent and
unified system the existing means of pro-
fessional education and training, and to
serve as coordinate agency through
which all means of professional military in
formation shall be at the immediate dis
posal Of the military authorities. While it
is recognized that the complete organization
of this institution must be matter Of
gradual growth, 1t is desired that the pre-
iiminary steps toward its organization shall
be taken as rapidly as circumstances will
permit.
In the general plan now under the consid-
Grafton of the War Department, the army
college will be expected to consider and re-
port upon the various questions affecting
the welfare and efficiency of the army, in
GLIDING organization, methods of admins
tration, armament, equipment, transporta-
ton, supplies, mobilization, concentration,
distribution, military preparation, plans of
campaign and such other professional mat
tiers As may be referred to 1t. The college
is also expected to supervise and direct the
conduct and methods of the several service
schools, SO as to develop their highest eff
cheney, and to devise rules for the harmoni-
GUS and effective Cooperation Of all the
military forces of the United States, in
Guiding the organization of an instructed
reserve. Other matters for its considera-
ton will be the consideration of methods
for full cooperation of the military and
naval forces in time of war, with a view to
thorough understanding and concert of
action for military operations, defensive
and offensive.
Gen. Ludlow has been designated as pres
ident Of the board charged with the formu-
latfon of a project and general regulations
for the conduct and guidance of the pro-
posed institution This board will meet in

Five Persons Charged With the Of
Tense Get Punished.
Randolph Baldwin, William Green. WILL
lam Story, George Wood and William
Winslow. the latter two being boys who
were arrested yesterday by Sergt. Ander-
son and Policemen Lusby, Mccormick and
Stahl while fishing with nets in the Poto-
mac river within the limits Of the District
of Columbia were today arraigned in the
Police Court before Judge Kinbail.
Wood and Winslow, whose trial preceded
that of the others, and whose cases were
heard separately, pleaded guilty. Prosecu-
ter Muliowny informed the court that he
had learned that yesterday was the first
time Wood had ever gone fishing with a
net and that he was the principal support
OF his two sisters. The sisters made a SIM
liar statement, and Judge Kinlball said a
fine of SO would be sufficient. A similar
penalty was imposed on Winsiow. and both
fines were paid.
Baldwin, Green and Story pleaded not
guilty. They claimed that It was also the
first time they had ever gone fishing, and
had taken particular pains to get outside
of the District before trying to catch any
fish, and that If they had violated the fish
ing law they had done so innocently. A
fine of S. in each case was imposed, and
this was paid.
Judge Kimball asked if the bill providing
for the confiscation of fishing pa-apher-
MALTA IN cases OF violation OF the law had
formed that It had not directed that the
nets and other property taken at the time
Of the arrest by the police be returned to
the owners
