The news of General Miles’ s ments today before the military committee of the wenate excited great Interest at the War department when it became known late in the day. There was a very geperal Inquiry as to whether by passing the criticisms upon ¥arious officlals, as reported in the press, General Miles had not exposed him- selt to a disciplipary treatment. The answer to this must be based on the exact amount of privilege which attaches to tes- timony given before a committee of con- gress, . This question arose last week in the eourse of General Hugh testimony before the semate Philippine committee whes the general sought to escape wer- ing questions which would involve criti- OMAHA DAILY BEE: F D MAY WQUC&MINAL EUIT N isttn Ly Ropli-vo (R Asflant Moy Oomplfute Mnfio:b P eovmuzur SAIQ TO"BE mumm it is Belleved, W minal Pight Agafnst Ronds aud Pack- if Former Resist Tnjunections. ern CHTCAGO, March 20.—Petitions for In- junctions were filed heré foday in the United States circuit court by United States District Attorney Bethea against six of the rallway companles” centering in Chicago, charging them with infractions of the inter- state ccmmerce law, in regard to #afe cut- ting.

It was urged that by so doing the situation would be placed within the grasp of the government, whereas this would not be accomplistied by, proceeding against only & part of the roads... it waa clem by him of his superior officer, General Otls. It sappeared that there was a variance of opinion in the committee lteelf as to how far General Hughes was at liberty to violate army rules and proprieties even in answer to ttee questions and the question itself was left unsettled. Not Intended for Publicity. While General Miles did not expect, when we his testimony, that it would be made pubdle in any form, he is now- willing that it shall be publighied by the committee making, himeelf, the brond statement that the statements which. were given to the press as those made by himself before the committes, wore misrepresentations, totally unwarranted. The ‘ommission by the president of his usual ride this atternoon and the fact that he and Secretary Root were in conference for nearly four hours, led to the suppo- sition that they were dfscussing General Miles' testimony. This, however, was an error, for they were talking about an' army regulation and fhe secretary wis unaware of the testimony’until he returned to the War u.,nh-s very late in the after- noon.
