THE BIG EXPRESS TRUST COMPANIES HAVE BANDED TOGETHER TO DETRIMENT OF TRADE. ♦ Illinois Manufacturers’ Association Finally Aroused to Take Action in That State. * CHICAGO. Sept. I.—The Illinois Manufacturers’ Association is said by its secretary, J. M. Glenn, to be collecting evidence against several of the leading express companies with the view of establishing that those carriers are acting as a trust in violation of the act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies. Vfie testimony Is to be ‘laid before the United States district attorney. According to Secretary Glenn the express companies have declined to enter into competition to carry express matter over certain lines of railway, and because the privilege was not given to one company upon its own terms the other companies have attempted to prevent and make it impossible lor any express matter to be carried over those lines and have obstructed the carriage from points thereon to places on lines operated by the express companies. The railroad companies which have had this experience with the express companies are the Winona & Western, the Ann Arbor Railroad and Steamship lines and the Southern Indiana. It is alleged that in furtherance of their plans to stifle competition the express companies have consolidated their offices and agencies at what are designated common points and divide the earnings among themselves, giving the public no opportunity to patronize any company except the one they designate. Secretary Glenn has received a letter from Attorney General Griggs relative to the stamp act, in which he says: “As tp arrangements and exactions between the express companies and the shippers, the government has no concern so long as the act is not violated You ask against whom criminal proceedings for violation of the law would be instituted in case shipments were mad > and the tax provided for were not paid, anu to whom the government would look for the collection of the tax. In reply I would say that the act specially provides that it shall be the duty of the express company to issue a receipt and that that receipt shall have upon it a canceled stamp, and provides a penalty of SSO for a failure to Issue such a receipt. “In case a receipt was issued without the stamp 1 should not bother to collect the one-cent tax, but should, under the act, proceed aguinst the company for the penalty of SSO. This, you will observe, is a very different oftense from that which you suggest. namely, the failure or refusal of the company to receive goods for shipment and to issue a receipt except under payment of the stamp tax In addition to the ordinary tariff rates. Whether your contention or that of tha company is correct is a matter concerning which I have refrained from expressing an opinion, leaving it to the respective parties to the controversy to decide the matter in accordance with the laws prevailing in the different States.” DREYFUS DEAD. (Concluded from First Pngfe.) and his trial speedily followed the statements he made public, asserting that Dreyfus had not been fairly tried or convicted. Among the words for which he had to answer before the French courts w-ere these: "France is no longer France if she can be ao deceived and driven to mad rage against an unfortunate being who, for three years, has been expiating under atrocious conditions a crime he never committed. The explanations of Esterhazy are contemptible." In constant danger from the mobs who broke in on the trial, with the sentiments of the anti-Semitic element against him. and under most violent conditions Zola vigorously defended himself and protested his innocence. He was upheld abroad and by many of the leading men of his own country who were net in sympathy with his persecutors, but the fact that he had revived the Dreyfus case and his expressed Intention of hiving the matter investigated to the end were against him. The anti-Dreyfus meeting on Jan. 17 was broken up by the supporters of the exile. Mobs ruled the streets and bloody scenes were enacted in Paris, where twenty men were wounded. At the same time there were outbreaks in London and Marseilles These and numerous other riots were used by the friends of Zola as arguments to show’ that there were secrets in the case which had. not been brought to light by the courts. NO DERVISH VICTORY. England Feared Geu. Sir Herbert Kitchener Had Been Repulsed. LONDON, Sept. I.—The War Office was relieved this evening by the receipt of a dispatch from Cairo explaining the sudden interruption of news from the Soudan, w’hich gave rise to some uneasiness yesterday as to the movements of the AngloEgyptian column now advancing toward Omdnrman. under General Sir Herbert Kitchener. It appears that telegraphic communication was interrupted because the wire beyond Nasey island, about midway between Metemmeh and the sixth cataract of the Nile, had been damaged by a severe storm. Shortly after the arrival of this intelligence came the following dispatch from Nasey island, dated Aug. 30, and forwarded by messenger from the camp at the front to Nasey: “There have been glimpses of the enemy during the last few days and the first skirmish took place to-day, when an advance guard of cavalry located a large body of the Dervishes at a supposed outpost near Kerrerl, about eight miles north of Omdurman. The enemy showed a disposition to fight, beating war drums and displaying battle bunting. The Montmorency troop emptied a few Dervish saddles and three gunboats steamed up the river in front of the town and shelled the Dervish position. The army's loss could not be ascertained as the Dervishes were in a hollow’, but fleeing troops could be distinctly seen. The army is moving slowly. Yesterday it advanced four miles in close formation.” The army is twenty-three miles from Omdurman. the Dervish camp henr Khartoum, where the Khalifa was reported to be waiting with 100,000 warriors, well equipped with field guns. General Kitchener's force consisted of 1.000 British troops and 15 000 Egyptian blacks, the most perfectly equipped force the government has ever put in the field. * Voted for a Nine-Hour Day.

BOND-BIDDING FRAUD TREASURY DEPARTMENT RUNS DOWN A SWINDLING SCHEME, Public Debt Statement Shows a Decrease of $34,7M9,711 for the Month of August. WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—A wide investigation of suspicious bids under the last call for subscriptions to government bonds has been completed ny Solicitor O’Connell, of the Treasury Department, and to-day he submitted to Secretary Gage the mass of testimony on the transactions. Several thousand subscribers were examined. The facts developed show a systematic scheme operated by single parties to secure a large amount of the bonds. The investigation w’as the outcome of complaints alleging wrongful dealing on the part of many bidders. Secretary Gage promptly instituted the investigation, and Solicitor O’Connell has to-day, after submitting his report, held a conference for two hours with the secretary on the developments. The reports indicate that millions of dollars in bonus were acquired by irregular means, and that a number of New Y’ork bidders are involved in the cases. Many of the bids received from Ne.v York are shown to have been either signed by individuals who had r.o direct interest in them and subscribed their names simply at the request of or in consideration of compensation by other parties, or the bids bore signatures that were forgeries. Many of the bidders, it is stated, were hired to sign, and the system was carried so far, the raport goes to show, that virtual agents were employed, who were paid so much per subscriber, the last named merely signing his name and giving the bid with his signature to the agent or directly to the party seeking control of a large amount of bids. The report and tne exact facts are withheld from publication at this time for prudential reasons, but Solicitor O’Connell said to-day: "There is a large amount of fraudulent bids.” It is stated a further investigation is to be made, and that the facts developed will be followed in action by the secretary. This may result in a refusal to issue bonds in all cases found to have been illegal. Secretary Gage said to-night the investigation showed that a large amount of the b'ds offered were not bona tide, but that in none of the cas?s involved in the investigation had the bonds been issued to the bidders. He said he had no doubt, however, that in some instancts, as yet undiscovered, bonds bid for in a similar way unknowingly to the department had been issued. ♦ PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. Decrease of $114,7X9,711 for the Month of AuruM. WASHINGTON. Sept. I.—The monthly statement of the public debt issued to-day show’s that on Aug. 31 the public debt, less cash in the treasury, was $1,012,870,717. which is a decrease for the month of $34,789,711. This decrease is accounted for by a corresponding increase in the cash on hand due to the receipts from the war loan. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest-bearing debt, $922,212,800: debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,259,000; debt bearing no interest, $333,885,971; total, $1,307,357,801. This amount, however, does not include $558,046,933 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding, which are offset by an equivalent amount of cash in the treasury. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold $253,377,493 Silver 513,400.894 Paper 93,084,055 Bonds, national bank depositories, etc 67.282.201 Aggregate $927,144,646 Against this aggregate there are outstanding demand liabilities amounting to $632,657,561, which leaves a net cash balance in the treasury of $294.457,054. The monthly statement of receipts and expenditures of the government for August shows that the receipts from all sources aggregated $41,782,707, an increase of $22,759,093 over August. 1597. The receipts from the several sources of revenue follow: Customs $16,249,699 Internal revenue 24.015,934 Miscellaneous 1.517,073 The expenditures for the month aggregated $56,260,717, an increase of $22,672,670. The heavy increase on both sides of the ledger are due to the war expenditures on the one side and the internal revenue law on the other. ONE-YEAR PENSION RECORD. More Granted Last Year than Daring; Hayes's Entire Administration. WASHINGTON. Sept. I.—The forthcoming annual report of the commissioner of pensions will show ’hat the number of pensions allowed during the past fiscal year, including the war of 1812, was 56,737, of which 54,852 were for soldiers and 1.885 for sailors. Four widow’s were reinstated and two promoted, and sixty-four orphans and relatives of soldiers were reinstated. One hundred and thirty-nine ex-Union soldiers were reinstated and 279 promoted. The number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1898, was 993,714; amount paid for pensions during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, $144,651,879; average value of each pension $13179. Comparison shows that more pensions for service in the war of the rebellion were granted during the last fiscal year than were allowed during the entire four years of Grant’s second term and the entire administration of President Hayes; that the amount actually paid for army and navy pensions during the fiscal year ending June 30. 1898, was largely in excess of the amount paid either during the first or second term of President Grant's administrations. and almost as much as was paid during the entire four years of President Hayes’ administration. Commissioner of Pensions Hon. H. Clay Evans has issued an order prohibiting tne sending of pension checks to “gereral delivery. The intention of the department is to lia\e ail such checks delivered at the individual local addresses of the pensioners. Judge Rose for Justice White's Place. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Sept. I.—The name of Judge U. M. Rose, of Little Rock, has Leon under consideration by President McKinley for a place on the peace commission which will go to Paris to arrange the details of peace betw’een the United States and Spain. Judge Rose is unaware of this fact himself, but a letter has been received in this city from the President's private secretary stating that Judge Rose's name had been presented to the. President for consideration in the make-up of the commission. This letter was in answer to one w’ritten by a friend of Judge Rose, suggesting the eminent fitness of the latter for the honor if he would accept it. The writer stated that he did not know how Judge Rose stood on territorial acquisition, but he did know’ that there wa£ not a man mentioned for the commission who is better equipped- This letter did not reach Washington until the President had practically decided on the personnel of the commission. Since then, however, it has seemed probable that one of the commissioners, Justice White, will decline to serve, in which event Judge Rose’s friends believe he will receive the appointment. Judge Rose speaks French and German fluently. He has a national reputation as a lawyer and scholar. Appointments of Military Cadets. WASHINGTON, Sept.

I.—Justice White did not reach the State Department, so his decision is not known as to the acceptance of the place of peace commissioner.

Sagasta Still Unable to Name Hts Peace Commissioners. MADRID, Sept. 1, 10 p. m.—’The deadlock over the appointment of the members of the peace commission continues. The Cabinet sat this evening in concert, the Queen Regent presiding. Senor Sagasia, the premier, made a statement as to foreign policy, referring particularly to the disarmament proclamation of Emperor Nicholas. Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister for war, read a dispatch from General Rios, acting governor general of the Spanish territory in the Philippine islands, announcing that he had acceded to Admiral Dewey’s request to open Philippine ports, subject to ratification by the Madrid government. Senor Sagasta, according to El Heraldo, is trying to persuade the Duke of Tetuan, now’ leader of -the dissident Conservatives, to join the peace commission. To-night several members of the Chamber of Deputies have expressed a strong belief that a Cabinet crisis will follow immediately on the meeting of the Cortes. The probable composition of the new Conservative Ministry is being discussed. LONDON, Sept. 2.—The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says: “The lower classes are deeply and perhaps dangerously impressed by the ghastly appearance of the repatriated soldiers from Santiago de Cuba. All Catalonia protests against the continuance of the special w’ar taxes and insists on their immediate repeal, threatening to close all the factories if this demand is not complied with.” Another Transport Benchers Spain. CORUNNA. Spain, Sept. I.—The Spanish transport Isla de Panay, from Santiago de Cuba about Aug. 16, has arrived here with a detachment of the surrendered Spanisn troops on board.

Morgan, United States Engineer Corps, in charge of the fortification work on Tybee island, and Henry Smth, a rigger, w r ere drowned in Calabogue sound Wednesday afternoon in an effort to rescue the crew of the ili-fated Norwegian bark Noe, which went ashore and was lost on Daufauskie beach. Lieutenant Morgan and a party of four riggers left Tybee in a sailboat to cross the sound to where the bark was pounding to pieces in the breakers. They had reached the rim of breakers in front of the wreck when a tremendous sea came down on their boat swamping it. All the men were thrown into the sea. but managed to regain the boat. Morgan was in his uniform and wore a heavy mackintosh. Although a good swimmer he was weighted down with clothing and sank. A moment later he reappeared and seized the boat, but was torn loose by a wave and disappeared. A few minutes later Smith met tne same fate. Morgan was a West Pointer and was assigned to the work in the Savannah district as assistant to Capt. C. E. Gillett. A Terrible Atlantic Storm. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. I.—The storm which has swept over southeast Georgia for the past two days has put six counties under water and paralyzed railroad and telegraph communication in that part of the State. Armies of railroad men are at work on all lines effected, but are making poor progress, as the rain continues. Many trains from Atlanta and north and west are at TonnviHe, Ga., unable to move. Eight inches of rain fell at Ten.iille in twelve hours and the wind reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour. Bridges were wrecked and houses and trees blown down, but, so far as known, no lives were lost. The damage to bridges and roads in Washington county alone ia $15,000. Atlanta received a touch of the storm to-day. The wind reached a velocity of thirty-rive miles and the rainfall was very heavy. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK, Sept.

An officer in command of one detachment of the regular cavalry in speaking of the sickness in the camp attributed nearly all of the new cases of dysentery to foolishness on the part of the men themselves "The men leave the hospital and are sent to their camps," he said, “with instructions to eat only plain and wholesome food until released from diet rules by their regimental surgeons. Instead of obeying orders they go to the restaurants and pie stands about the camp as soon as they can get any money and stuff themselves full of everything that they can buy. They are taken back to the hospital by the ambulance load and some of those who have made themselves ill in that way are in a serious condition. Not a few of them are likely to die because their sv 3 - teins are in no condition to withstand the disease.” Cases of this kind arc of frequent occurrence. One infantryman upon being discharged from the hospital went to a restaurant near the station and drank five glasses of milk. Within half an hour he was found lying on the ground ill and was taken back to his bed, where he will remain for a week or two. Others eat paslry in large quantities and drink the concoctions sold at the stands until they get in the same condition, and ten such patients a day is not an unusual number. The regimental commanders are not restricted in granting short day leaves to the convalescents and seem to have no means at hand to prevent such indulgences and their natural consequences. On a Manila Transport. Letter in New York Mail and Express. Batteries H and K have had setting-up drills, but we have had no exercises on board. I said no exercises; we have had exercise though. After one day of guard duty we have had fatigue duty all the next day.

CHEERS FOR ALLISON e— ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING BY lOWA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. ♦— Wisconsin Deinocrata Turn Down the Populists After a Two Days’ Fight—Other Political News. DUBUQUE. la.. Sept. I.—Following is the Republican ticket nominated here to-day: Fcr Secretary of State—George T. Dobson. lor Treasurer—John Herrlott. For Auditor—Frank F. Merriam. For Attorney General—Gen. Milton Remley. For Railroad Commissioners—Welcome Mowrey (long term), D. J. Palmer (short term.) For Clerk of Supreme Court—C. T. Jones. For Judge of Supreme Court—H. E. Deemer. For Reporter of Supreme Court—B. I. Sallonger. The Republican convention to-day was decidedly an administration, body in all its actions and speeches. No other sentiment than that of approval was to be heard anywhere. Major Lacey, temporary chairman, sounded the keynote, and it was repeated with emphasis by Senator Allison in his speech as permanent chairman. The senator was looked on as echoing the sentiments of President McKinley and the Washington Cabinet, and, believing that, the delegates gave their approval and indorsement of the administration’s policy. There was some disappointment over the failure to emphatically declare for the holding and control of all conquered territory, but the delegates were thoroughly convinced that what had been done was practically the voice of the national government, and so were contented. The convention met in Saengerbund Hall v ith an average attendance and the greatest enthusiasm. Senators Allison and Gear. Congressmen Henderson, Dolliver, Cousins, Lacey, Hepburn, Updegraff, Governor Shaw ar.d ex-Governor Drake were on the stage, and each was given a warm reception. In the Fourth district only was any serious rupture. Here the Blythe and Updegraff forces contested for committeeman, the congressman losing at every point. The convention hall was one mass of flags and sentiment patriotic In proportion. Singing of “The Battle of Manila” created immense enthusiasm. Major Lacey, temporary chairman, was given an ovation. A recess was taken when Mr. Lacey concluded. This afternoon Senator Allison was chosen permanent chairman. There was much cheering when the senator arose, the demonstration exceeding that of any before. The senator said, in part: "Two years ago this fall we elected Hon. William McKinley as President tlong-con-tinued applause); I have heard of no man in this State who regrets that casting. The affairs of this country of ours during these two years have been managed by him and his Cabinet with a fidelity and with a single purpose of patriotic efforts in a way to fully meet the approbation of the American people. We have seen what I have never seen before in a long service in the councils of my country, vote after vote cast during the last session of Congress giving the unanimous support of the representatives of the country to this great and good man and his administration. We have trusted the President and his advisers. We have trusted the Congress of the United States in this emergency, and they have met every requirement with a patriotism that should receive the thanks of the country. By the protocol of Aug. 12, a war has been suspended and the results of that war in part achieved; and we have selected through our great President the commissioners who are to deal with the remaining questions of the W’ar. As thsse questions have been dealt w’ith in* the past they will be dealt with in the future, wise and patriotic and for the interests of the 75,000,000 people of this country.” Senator Allison concluded with a high tribute to Governor Shaw and the state administration. Nominations were then taken up. George T. Dobson, of Polk county, for secretary of state, and John Herriott, of Guthrie, for treasurer, w r ere nominated by acclamation. For auditor Frank M. Merriam, Delaware county, W. S. Alien, Van Buren, and E. J. Hartshorn, Palo Alto, were named. The first ballot resulted in the choice of Merriam, who received 818, Allen 193, Hartshorn 219. For attorney general Milton Remley, of Johnson county, was nominated on the first ballot. Simms, of Pottawatomie, and Temple, of Clarke, were the other candidates. The big fight was on railroad commissioner for the full term. J. U. Sammis, of Plymouth county. Welcome Mowrey. of Tamma. A. F. Collman, of Adams, and W. B. Parkin, of Roone. were nominated, and Mowrey won on the first ballot, his vote being 67&V3, Sammis 437, Parkin 76Vs, Coleman 28. For the short term railroad commissioner David .J. Palmer, of Washington county, was nominated by acclamation. The other officers nominated were by acclamation, as follows: C. T. Jones, of Washington county, clerk of the Supreme Court; Horace E. Deemer. of Montgomery county, judge of the Supreme Court; B. I. Sallonger, of Carroll county, reporter of the Supreme Court. Charles T. Hancock, of Dubuque, wss elected chairman of the state committee. The platform was then read and adopted. It is in part as follows: “We congratulate the country on the wise and patriotic administration of President McKinley and we regard the measures and policies thereof as the concrete expression of Republican statesmansnip, and especially do we commend his course during the present war with Spain, his wisdom and forbearance in seeking a peaceable solution of the Cuban question before resorting to arms, while at the same time prudently preparing for war and when circumstances finally made armed intervention necessary his vigor and energy in the prosecution of the war. The experience of the past two years has fully approved the gold standard policy of the Republican party as declared by the national convention of 1896. We recognize the necessity of comprehensive and enlightened monetary legislation. The monetary standard of this country ar.d the commercial world is gold. The permanence of this standard must be assured by congressional legislation, giving to it the validity and vitality of public law. All other money must be Kept at a parity with gold. Our money, like our institutions, should be maintained equal to the best in the world. On this plan we invite the support of all voters who desire honesty and stability in business affairs, and an immediate and permanent settlement of the question of the standard of value. The policies of reciprocity and protection are reaffirmed and such changes in the present revenue law as experience may from time to time dictate or changed conditions demand are commended. “We favor the upbuilding of the American merchant marine, the speedy construction of the Nicaraguan canal, the securing of naval and coaling stations and the protection of American rights in every quarter of the world with an adequate navy. The Republican party, under whose policies and administration prosperity has been restored and a foreign war successfully conducted, has earned the right to be further intrusted with the task of solving the territorial, colonial and commercial problems that have resulted from the war. "It is due to the cause of humanity and civilization for which the war with Spain was fought, that no people who have in consequence thereof been freed from oppression shall with tbs oonsent or through

the Indifference of the United States be returned to such oppression or permitted to lapse into barbarism." STORMY COYVESTIOIf. Wisconsin Democrats Finally Refuse to Fuse with Populists.

Y„ Sept. I.—Train No. 5, on the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, known as the "Chicago limited,” was wrecked at Ingalls Crossing, four miles south of this village, at o’clock this morning. The wreck was doubtless due to the dastardly work of tramps, who threw open the switch at which the train was wrecked, as well as tw'O switches to the north of the wreek. The train was an hour and a quarter late and running nearly sixty miles an hour, when it struck the switch and was thrown over to the sidetrack. The rapid speed made it impossible to make a sharp turn and the train left the track when it struck the safety rail. The engine was thrown twenty feet and blown to pieces. The tender was inverted. The trucks of the baggage car were torn on. and the head coach teiescoped the baggage car. A vcstibuled chair car and the sleeper "Farragut” were derailed, but neither was badly damaged. Engineer Dowd and Fireman Hall both jumped, and were found under the wreckage of the tender by passengers from the sleeper. Down died in a few minutes and Hal* three hours later. The body of Brakeman Osborne was torn in two: The dead are: Engineer C. B. Down, of Osgood; Fireman William Hall, of Norwich; Brakeman A. L. Osborne, of Alton. The Injured—Baggageman Charles Desmond, of New York, three ribs broken; David Mills, of Oswego, legs bruised and scalp wound; John Golden, of Oswego, burned about both wrists; John Ross, of New York, shoulder bruised; Peter J.

Company to-day and held a conference with the agent of the line with regard to transporting Spanish prisoners home. No satisfactory terms were agreed upon, however, and Captain Eulato said he would look elsewhere. The One Thing Necessary. Philadelphia Inquirer. There is nothing to investigate concerning the war. The one trouble that we have had is in caring for our soldiers In the peaceable camps. Typhoid fever and disease have played havoc. There is responsibility somewhere for this. The truth is that we were not prepared for war, and we did not know how to handle large bodies of men. There Is no occasion for partisan politics or for partisan denunciations. The thing to do is for a proper board of inquiry to concern itself with every detail of the war from the beginning to the end, and to go at its work, not for the purpose of finding a scapegoat, but to discover the very best methods to prevent the occurrence of mistakes in the future. Out of such an inquiry should come a recommendation for the formation of a general staff, built upon the plans which obtain In Europe. We can make progress In military and medical science only by experience. We have had that experience and now let us profit by it.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, taught long euough after I graduated to have them give me the Honorary degree, and I have a great many acquaintances in and around Boston. About three years ago my son brought home a box of Cuticuiia (ointment), and I picked up the circular that was around it, and learned about the Cuticura Soap, and told him to get me a cake. When I got it, the circular advised its use for the bath, teeth, scalp, etc. I had been a great sufferer all my life from sore eyelids, the whole lid outside and in was red as abeet. I had to sit in a dark room, evenings, for eight and a half years, and wear black spectacles to keep tho sun from my eyes In the daytime. When I got the Cuticuka Soap, I got a fine, soft cloth, dipped it in hot water and rubbed it on the soap and washed my eyes with it. I can’t tell you how much good it has done me, although it smarted very much at first. My eyes are as clear and bright as when I was a young lady. I had to go backwards in getting spectacles and wear No. 15, the same as I did twenty years ago, 1 can read medium sited print in daylight without any spectacles. Asa matter of course lam kind of a walking advertisement of Cuticura. People will call to me when I am going along the street and tell me how much good my Cuticura Soap has done their eves. Mrs. M.
