A CLASH AT MANILA.
Writ OF uabass Corpus Ignored by Mill
tary Autborities--Depora of
Bronkes.

MANIA, Oct. G.--considerable inter-
est attaches to tho case OF Oakley
Brookes, a military prisoner ordered
To be deported Tho Supreme Court
recently issued a writ of habeas corpus
directing the production OF the prison
er. but the military authorities re-
fused TO produce him on the ground
that the only tribunal having jurisdic-
tlon OF a military prisoner is the Fed
eral Court. While the Philippine courts
were established by the war powers
of the president, the military author
tiles contend that they are TO be re-
garded as provost courts until con-
gress has acted.
The members Of the Supreme Court
aud a majority of the members OF the
Philippine commission hold opposite
views, but it is understood that tho
attorney-genera believes the military
contention 20 be correct.
Gen. Chaffee discussing the matter
today said: Il am most desirous TO
sustain the civil courts In every possl-
BILE way, but | feel that II would be
very unwise In the existing elrcum-
stances TO allow the civil courts TO in.
terfere in military affairs as IL Is oc-
caslonally necessary for the military
authorities to act in cases where II
would be unwise. In the interest OF
the government, to make public at the
time the reasons for acting. Should
the claim now made by the civil courts
be allowed II would be disastrous 10
the influence OF the army In the is.
land. Every prisoner sentenced by a
military commission would have re-
course TO habeas corpus proceedings.

BRUTAL HAZING.
student Of a Wisconsin College Divested
OF Ills CIothlag and Severely
TloKRed.

BELoIT. Wis, Oct. Geo. r. Stock
we'll, student In the preparatory de-
partment of Beloit College, was en-
ticed from his room at the house OF
President Faten at an early hour tnis
morning by members OF the middle
preparatory class. He was oyerpower-
ed. diyested OF every article Of cloth
ing and compelled TO walk ahead OF
a score OF bowling students, aided by
the application OF switches Ia the
hands OF his tormentors. His clothing
was fastened TO the top Of fiagpole.
and after he had been sufficiently dis
cipllned" he was allowed to 80 home
TO plan revenge. The outrage Is the
climax OF a number OF class fights this
year, in which the worst punishment
inflicted heretofore was compelling
students to walk into town after hav-
ing been driven far into the country.
The faculty win probably take no
action on this mornings occurrence
owing to the fact that the perpetrators
OF the deed are unknown and the
members Of Stockwells class have
taken matters in their own hands.

Prof. Wafer Vrooman. founder Of
the Ruskin labor colleges In England
and this country, Is said to have In

The new chair is TO be established
and its occupant chosen by January J.
The professorship viii not be main
tanned by the university, but the move
ment is probably expected to get much
patronage from IT,
AS the science OF ethics covers the
methods by which Rockefeller ac-
quired his abnormal wealth. and as
moral philosophy doubtless has some
bearing upon monopolies In general,
such a pursuit in RockefelIer's college
may become highly interesting.

Bible class and the chair Of ethics may
manage TO keep somewhere within

lf the cable dispatches treating on this
matter are at all trustworthy this is
very much more than IA visionary pro-
ject. Money has been raised, the
charter obtained, right of way secured,
engineering details settled, and con-
struction is about to begin.
From time to time there has been
talk in our own country of something
OF the sort. AS much as seven years
ago plans for "A double track electric
road from Chicago to St. Louis were
worked out on paper, with an estimated
speed of 100 miles an hour for the
regular passenger trains. The move
ment for the building of this road
seems to have been somewhat sub
stantial, and we do not know precisely
what caused the abandonment or sus-
pension of the project. Want of money
probably. Notwithstanding the i'm
mense inventive thoughfulness which
has gone into that and similar schemes
of Americans, there is not in this
country at the present time any prac-
tically successful electric car propul-
sion at greater speed than is obtained
on Boston's elevated railway.
The Liverpool Manchester line is
planned to carry into effect some such
idea as Mr. +. NJ. Boynton has so long
and so enthusiastically urged upon
capitalists and the Massachusetts legis-
lature. At any rate, we infer from the
measer cable dispatches that the es-
sential feature is the same. On the
Liverpool Manchester track the cars
are to be hung overhead on a single
rail.
The ordinary obstacles to high speed
in railway travel are four. The first
Is friction on the rails. The second is
friction of the air. The third is the
danger of collisions. The fourth is
grade crossings. The last mentioned
obstacle has been largely overcome
already on our most advanced railway
systems. The use of block signals has
greatly reduced the liability of collision
1t is confidently claimed by the pro.
moters of the One-rail idea that friction
between wheels and rails will be re.
duced 30 per cent. with no counter,
balancing disadvantages. The friction
| caused by the air is something harder
| TO deal with though something is TO b,
