Q—lave you reason (o supposq thathe ad accownplices ? it ¥ A.~There was wmoro than ‘that, "I have never doubted that thern wero perrons out- slile the Acadetny who were tho originators of the whole schene. .—Do you think outside influence had anything ta do with the course or the result of the Court of Inquiry? A.—Not with the result, It had n great denl to do with the eonrse of that Court, Q—What do you mean by that? A—I think that the course of the Inquiry was DIRECTED BY JUGHER AUTIORITIES, Q.~You don't refer hy speaking of outsida Influence to persons In civil lite entirely, A.—Not entirely, no, ‘Tho witness did not make up his mind ns to Whittaker's guilt or Innecence on the strength of Col. Laselly's report. Ho not ouly desired a turther Investigntion, but or- dered It In regard to his interviews with New York reporters, the witness sald ho was careful to express no opinfon whatever, 1e guve them the facts, nnd ailowed them to tlraw thelr own Inferenee, Questioned ahont his General Order No. 14, tho witness sakd itwas lssued about two weeks after the Whittaker affair, That court, he explained in extenuation, was NOT APPOINTED 'T0 INVESTIGATE TIHFE CON- DUCT OF THE CADETS but that of Whittaker, and that investigation had proceeded to a polut where he know, so far a3 ho had power to ascertain, the eadets were perfectly Innocent, i’ Q~Ilud the Court reached such a stage ns to warrant the conelusion that the endets were funoeent? A.~There never was any evldenco to show that they were engaged in this offense, although L know [t was sug- gested by persons outstde. But tathose who knew the cadets there was not the least ground of suspleion, Q.—Have they not been guilty of great outrages upon one another? A.—Nothing like that. In rough encounters Injurles have sometimes been recelved, but THE CILARACTEIL OF THIS OFFENSE wassuch as to stamp it as something not done by cadets at olly that It wns done by somebody else than eadets, It was very cusy for people other than cadets to obtaln uccess to that room, Q—IIad not the treatinent of Whittaker by the cadets for some time heen pecullar, A.~No, not at all. There nre many members of the same class who have been similarly treated, It was, T ndmit, different from the treatinent of cadets fn general.

The prices for plne lands appreciated durlng the past year 810 to $50 per acre, nccording to locatlon and qual- ity of timber. Good pieces of timber range invaluo from S50 to $100 per ncre. These Iands nre belng sccured by capltnists, heavy firms, and syndicates, and it §s thought the thme Is not far distant whon tha lumbering Interests of Michizan wlill be in the control of a few indlvidunls and firms, The exact amount of lumber manufactured in tho lead- Ing Michigan districts during 1850 was 3,%8,- 187227 feet.
