that the inquiry promises to result In

statement He is being represented by
Mr.. John A. Lamb. Captain Martin Is

nall other respects military circles are
very quiet just now. One interesting cues
ton is being very widely discussed. It's
the assumed rlghtof the courts to sum
mon and compel the attendan nee OF soldiers
in the field who are desired as witnesses
in cases. Colonel Anderson and others; 1t
is understood, are disposed to believe that
the courts have no such authority. a
magistrate seen yesterday delivered what
he called "ttrseback opinion declaring la
that they did. And so 1t stands. There
are still several trials in which the mill,
tarys have been summoned to appear. and
It IS possible that test case Will be
made to decide the perpleHing question.
The Conditions Yesterday.
According to reports received at a late
hour last night. from the oftices OF the

smashed. 1t was also said that obstruc-
lions had been placed on the tracks IN
stones, and one man. was arrested by
soldiers on Twenty-nlnth Street. The
man. 1t Is said, was caught with a rock
in his hand. Fairmount was reported
ards Grove. River View, so far as Is
known. contained itself peacefully. Nam
chester was very quiet. The soldiers have
been withdrawn with the exception of
those at the barns.
Perhaps the most interesting develop

of the courts and the police. The Police
Board met and before It appeared several
well-known gentlemen who will have sonle-
