French Cabinet Gossip, Nothing definite bos ret been settled in eonnection with the formation1 ot a new French cabinet The air, however, is fall of ministerial lists, in which the name ot M. Ribot figures prominently.

Such a ca: met would not oppose a revision of the trial ot Dreyfus, M. Ribot has always been regarded as being favorable to a re-opening of the case, . Three Men Injured. An explosion occurred at the sawmill
owned by Humphrey Gaantt, at J812 West Second street, Marion, Ind. The
boiler, which bad been repeatedly condemned, let go, wrecking the building and serionsly, and probably fatally, injuring three workman, James Moore, William Swafford and Daniel Adams. AH are married and have families. Swafford Is unconscious, and it is thought that he Is injured internally. Pieces of the boiler, brick and other debris were thrown for two squares in all directions, and bouses in the immediate vicinity of the mill were Badly wrecked.
Sampson Shows Saad. Admiral Sampson has taken an energetic stand with regard to the evacuation ot Cuba. He objects to granting Spaniards all toe time they wish. It has leaked out that a few days ago, while Gen. Pan-ado of the Spanish Commission, was talking about it being a physical impossibility for the Spaniards to evacuate in less than four or six months, Sampson suddenly arose and said: "Evacuation can be carried out in forty days, and it must be done." He port from Ohio Gold Field. Excitement over the discovery of the gold mine near Malvern, Ohio, continues una bated. A big crusher is nearly ready for operation. Various geologists to whom samples of the gold-bearing "rock nave been sent, report that it contains gold in paying Quantities. The cold, it t
estimated, will run from $H to 40 per

BIG LOSS BT FIRE IN BROOKLYN, Four Block of th Wal.r Fro it Art Oon-iumj-Dimii $476,000. Pour blocks of the Brooklyn, N. Y., water front went up In smoke the other day. Flames broke out upon the large, fullrigged ship Andorinha, lyins at the German-American stores, at the foot of Heard street. South Brooklyn. The ship was loaded with jute butts, which are highly inflammable, and in a very few minutes the ship was doomed. The flumes from the ship soon communicated to the (3er-nutn-American stores of cotton on the pier. From the storehouse pier the flumes spread to the resin yards of Joseph L. Hammond. Two lighters lying near
caught fire and despite the work of the firemen were totally destroyed, with their
cargoes of cotton and jute. The nremeu
worked steadily for two hours before the
names were in any way stayed. I he German-American Company places its loss on
tne pier and its contents at SiO.lHX). A

total loss. She was valued at $125,000,
and her cargo at ?80,000. The loss of the two lighters and their cargoes is estimat
ed at 875,000. It will cost at least ?JZ,-
000 to repair the burned schooner. The
loss in the resin yard is $120,000.
INDUSTRIAL SITUATION FAVORABLE
Actlva Forl(n Oamand far Wheat. Flour and
O.tiar 0rt Products.
Bradstreet's says: "The dominant fea
ture of the general bnsiness situation is unquestionably the active foreign demand
for wheat, wheat flour, and indeed all our
cereal products, and the business reported
on this account during the last ten days
seems worthy of rank with the nest re
corded in any corresponding period. Prices
were qnite strong, notable in this respect
being II the cereals, lord, pork, cotton,
print cloth and raw sugar. Little change is noted in the iron and steel market. The
general industrial situation continues fav

all the civil engineers are returning to
j their homes. Mr. Wiekuinnn wis snrprisi ed to learn that the commission appointed j by President Kelaya to render an opinion
as to the date the concessions to construct
a canal across Nicamgua expires had de
cided that the grant held by the Maritime
I'niifll Company holds good until Oct. 20,
1800. "It remains to be seen what action
Congress will lake in the matter when the report of Admiral Walker's commission
and the Morgan bill come up," said Mr.
Wickmnnn. "There is some opposition to the T"nited Suites getting control of the old Nicaragua Canal grant at Managua, and there it is said that article 7 of the
concession prohibits government control by providing that the present concession
is transferrable only to such company of execution as shall he organised by the
Nicaragua Canol Association and in no
rase to governments or to foreign public
powers. Mr. ickninnn has been to Nicaragua in connection with the purchase from the Nicaragunn Government by the Atlas Steamship Company of the former's
railroads, steamboats, machine shops and
machines and about 440,000 acres of land,
to 1k selected from the national domain anywhere in the republic. This deal prac
tically gives the Atlas company full con

public.
RACE RIOT NARROWLY AVERTED.

A race riot was narrowly averted at
Murfreesboro, Tenn. .Tames Martin, col

trial, Neely attempted to shoot him, and mortally wounded Deputy Sheriff Tolly

number of negro soldiers of the Eighth

to effect Martin s rescue from the officers.
Uiuzens hurried to the officers aid, wea

DISRUPTED OVER DREYFUS CASE.
THE
Minister of War Helena Iu n Pit of l'asslon-Anury Mob Burn KiosksDays of the Third Hcpublic Believed to He Numbered,
The world has been treated to a new illustration of the fickle, volatile character of the French tuition in the sudden dis
solution of the Brisson ministry after an existence of onl." a few mouths. The result was precipitated by the spectacular performance of Gen. Chanoine in resigning the portfolio of minister of war, which was placed in his hands as the successor of Oen. Zurlinden only
FRKM1RR nmssos. a few weeks ago. The situation is all the more surprising in view of the pressing nature of the controversy with England over the Fashoda affair. This seems to have been completely lost sight of in the e.citi-meiit over the I Dreyfus ease, for which the army is chief-1
ly if not wholly responsible. The sudden act of Chanoine is attributed to the hoiuidt illg to which he has been subjected by army officials, who are apparently more eager to carry on an null Semitic war in the streets of Paris than to ineet a foreign enemy in central Africa. The first inference h that this sudden irruption of the volcanic elements which constitute so large a portion oi the governing factions in the French Republic will operate to the direct advantage of Great Britain. While the French leaders
are torn to pieces with their dissensions over internal affairs. England, with ull
parties united and harmonious in support
or its roreigu policy, will go on strengthening itself and preparing for any emer-
STORM ON THE LAKES. Wild Wind and Waves Work Terrilile liuvoc. From all over the great lakes Wednesday came tales of wrecks, dangers and narrow escniH-s iu the terrific gale of Tuesday night. The stom? was defined by the weather authorities as a cyclone, with its center between Chicago and Grand Haven, Mich. Tales of numerous wrecks and dangers caine from all points in the southern portion of Lake .Michigan. These reports not only told of vessels wrecked and cargoes lust, but many reports were made by captains who made port in safety, telling of vessels in distress sighted when the seas were so high and the wind so fierce as to make any attempt at rescue impossible. It will lie several days before all the dreadful story of the storm can be learned. So far as Chicago is concerned, the storm was the most disastrous of recent years, not excepting the great gale of May, 1SP4. Old tugnien say that the waves were higher than at any time since 1SS9, when the lake shore rond and a part of Lincoln Park were washed away. Lincoln Park Commissioners estimate the damage done by the storm at $30,000. Fisk Hnll, the large new building of the
northwestern l inversity. was for a time
in great danger of serious injury from the high waves. The wall that was built out into the lake to protect the buildiiis from
just such storms was washed away at a loss of $5.0tfl. The steamer II. A. Ttittle. laden with gran, 'roni Chicago, went down off Michigan City, ; crew being taken off by life savers.

SIR JItllllEIlT KITCHENER,
Sir Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the sir
dar of the Egyptian nrniy and the now
hero of the Soudan, is a young man being but 47 for the high place he lias won by merit in the military service of his country. He was born in Ireland, and at 20 was a lieutenant. By 1SS8 he hnd been
advanced to the rank of colonel. He spent oieht years surveying in the Holy Land, during which he picked up a very fair knowledge of colloquial Arabic. This, together with his knowledge of the native character, went far toward his success in
the Soudiin.

Henry Morris, consul at Ghent, has fur

ington as a matter ot information a trans
lation of a report made by the Belgium
consul at Manila npon the export trade of
the Philippines during 1897. During that
year there was a great increase in the export trade, notwithstanding the rebellion, the export of hemp alone increasing nearly
44,000,000 pounds. Copra exports also in
creased nearly 28,000,000 pounds, al
though the business only dates from 1892, prior to which time almost all the copra
came from the Carolines. The exports of
sugar by Manila increased nearly 92.000c
000 pounds, but at Cebu the contrary was the case and in the Visayas and Negros islands the product of sugar was greatly developed. The export of cigars fell off
from 194,136,000 in 1898 to 160,465,000 in

gency that may occur ei:her in the Soudan or nearer home.
As the downfall of the Brisson ministry
is apparently traceable directly to the hos
tility 01 the army to the steps which have been taken looking to a revision of )h
Dreyfus case, the natural effect will iie
to undo what has been done in that direction, as it is not in the nature of a French court to do anything distasteful to both tbe Government and the army. For the present army iufluence is superior to justice and the people, and if the forms of revision should be gone thronirh with h
result is likely to be merely a repetition of the perversions of justice which have been
witnessed in tbe nast. It is safe to snv
that this will be the inevitable nntenmo
should the new cabinet be of the character foreshadowed by the tumultuous proceedings in the Chamber of Demit ios on
Tuesday, when the rallying cry was "-Vive

SERIOUS FoTrm"eRS. Discouraging Outlook tn tho North
ern Fart of Dakota, ltcports from the northern part of North Dakota as to the wheat situation arc most
discouraging. In some localities less than 25 per cent of tbe wheat has been thrashed, nnd the continued bad weather makes the situation so much worse. In some localities there was a fight ou what was deemed the excessive charge of the ihrushers. The price was not reduced and the contest has resulted in the farmers losing thousands of dollars to save a cem or two per bushel. The weather has been so lad that the harvest hands refused to sleep iu straw stacks any longer and arc leaving the country rapidly. This will reduce the help so much that many of th
innciunes will tie unable to start up eves
wnen the weather does improve.
