By an act of Governor Mount to-day three men eentenced for life will walk out of the Indiana State prison at Michigan Clfy. They are Joseph Wail, James Baker and Michael J. GlHooly. These three, it is wild, are the last parol* s that Governor Mount will Issue to life men now in prison. They were made after a thorough iarasUgatton by the prison board of the ease of every “life man" la prison, the parolee were concurred in by the Board of State Charities and the prison hoard before they were announced by the Governor. Joseph. Wall, or “Daddy Walla" a* he la known, la the oldest man in the prison. He to colored, was a slave and to said to toe ninety-seven year# old. He has been a aood prisoner, but has had poor health. When he was lint sent up it was generally thought he would not live more than a few years. He to a “trusty" and spends his time In a big easy chair in the prison hospital. He has been In the prison north since June 10, 1878, when he was sent from Allen county for having stabbed Morgan Cronk. There was some mystery about the eaee, but the evidence pointed strongly toward Wall, and he was convicted by a jury of murder in the second degree and sent up for life by Judge James W. Borden. Hot until July, 1882 did he apply lor parole. He has sineo pressed his claim on every Governor. In one of his letters to the Governor he said: “I see by the papers you are besieged with applications for executive clemency, but I hope you will not overlook the old black man.'* He wished, he said In another letter, “just a few more days of sunshine and freedom before I am called to render an account to Him who to Judge over all." Case of CHUooly. The case of Michael J. Glllooly Is an Interesting one. He is a trusty, who has the privilege of stepping outside the prison walla He is known as an exemplary prisoner, and has been of assistance to the prison authorities. Others were concerned in his crime, it Is said, and were never captured. Glllooly shot and killed patrolman Lanson, at Kokomo, In 1877. He was tried and sentenced to be hanged, but before the sentence could be executed Governor Williams (“Blue Jeans") interfered, and commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life. He was sent to Michigan City October 18. 1877. Years ago there was a desperate gang at "Kokomo junction.” It was common for railroad men to warn passengers of robbery when the trains stopped at the Junction. Patrolman Cannon was an officer who tried to break up the gang, and consequently Incurred Its hatred. Glllooly was an easy, good-natured fellow In Kokomo, who was thrown In with the members of the gang, but was not a member of it himself, He tried to keep away from th# men, It was said, but in hi# work bad to associate with some of them. He war, paying attentions to a woman In Kokomo when members of the gang told him that patrolman Lannon was about to "cut him out ” and had made threats against him. This caused a breach between Glllooly and the patrolman; one day Glllooly determined to leave town. He paid his bills, packed his grip and was at the station waiting for the train. There he met members of the gang, who asked him to drink with them, which he did. Patrol-

In hts statement to the Governor he said: “None regrets the past more deeply than I.“ He thought, ha said, he had suhered sufficient punishment, and he agreed never to drink liquor, and promised to live an upright life. He has determined not to return to Kokomo. He will go to Whiting, where he has a brother, who will give him employment. Glllooly has liberties In prison that few other prisoners iiave, ami la
trusted by the officers.
The third man paroled is James Baker, who to said to be of unsound mind. He is an old soldier, having served in Company D, Fifth Cavalry. His crime was one of cruelty. The evidence showed that he crawled up to an old cabin, out in a field, in which William Howell and his son were stacking wheat, and shot Howell dead. The son started to flee, and Baker flred a second shot at him, wit flout Striking him. There had been no quarrel between the men, and Baker’s de-
fense was insanity.
There was some doubt In the minds of the Jurymen, and the crime was fixed as murder, and a life sentence was Imposed. This was March 14, 1882 The crime was committed August 4, 1881. In 1887 he applied for pardon, and Immediately cltlxcns of Adams county, where the crime was committed, rose and remonstrated against pardon or parole Attorneys were employed and a remonstranoe was sent to the Governor, begging him not to Issue a parole. The remonstrance was headed by the wife and children of the man whom he had murdered. A counter petition was then cir- , culated, and obtained many signatures, headed by Bak’er’s wife and children. His case has since been under advisement, but the prison board Is of opinion that he is of unsound mind, and that It he can be placed where he will be kept safe-
ly that he should he paroled. State Board’s Condltloa.
The Board of State Charities concurred in the suggestion of the prison board for the parole of Wall, Baker and Glllooly. on condition that none of the men should become a ward of the State. The Investigation by the Board of State Charities was made at the request of the Governor. John Sage to another prisoner who some persons think will be paroled. Hto la a queer case. He was tried jointly with a woman, both of whom were charged with the murder of a child. At the trial the woman cleared Sage by swearing that he had nothing to do with the murder, but was the guilty one On this evi-
waa set at liberty, and the sent to the Woman’s nr’son
After this Sage became Infatux another woman When hu
former paramour, who was in the reformatory. heard of this, she made affidavit ot Sage's complicity in the murder, and he was sent to prison for life. He is a good prisoner, and It to understood that the prtdbn board would be willing to have the Governor parole him, but It to also under-
t Governor Mount has expressed .-„,4g that any man who conspires
for the murder of a child should spend his
life behind prisonbwalls.
Fleetwood Paroled.
Alexander Fleetwood, who hats been In the State prison for a quarter of a century, was paroled by the Governor Saturday. He was sent to the State prison for life In 1874. charged Jointly with his brother with the murder of John Hines, of Salt Creek township, Jackson county. His brother, on his death-bed In prison, said that ^Alexander bad nothing to do with Fleetwood could not read nor write when he entered the prison, sixteen years old.

John McGregor, representing the Marlon County Board of Commissioners, laid before the Board of State Charities to-day plans for the proposed hospital for the Incurable Insane of the county, to be built near Julietta, He explained that It was through a mistake that the plans had not previously been shown to the board for It* approval. Mr. McGregor said that the commissioners had understood that the architect was to submit the plans to the Board of State Charities before they were submitted to the commissioners. The architect, he said, did not understand It that way. The board approved the plans in general, but suggested some changes, which Mr. McGregor concurred In. One of these to that the building shall face toward the south instead of toward the east, thus giving the department for men and the department for women equal sunahlne In the course of the day. Shower-baths were suggested, instead of so many tub baths, and It was thought advisable to change the plans for some of the roomA In general. It was said after the conference that the suggestions of the board would tend toward cutting down tha expense of the building. More Estimates Filed. The following additional estimates of. expenses were filed to-day by county officers. County Recorder L.vE.

CTTTf CHAIRMEN GBTTIffO READY FOR SIXTY HAY POLL.
Speculative Talk About Mr. Taggart • * Candidacy — His Scheme Outlined — The Republican Candidate* for Mayor.
The city chairmen of the two leading parties are making preparations for the taking of the elxty-day poll, which muat be tak®n August 10. This poll Is the first fklrmlsh of the dty campaign, and u usually reveals a great deal to the chairman of each party. It is the tlennlal division Of the sheep from the goats for municipal purposes?. Tc each chairman partisans of the other side art ‘ goats.” The poll to usually taken by the precinct commits eman, end the law makes it being incumbent on householders to give truthful answers, so that every legal voter may be recorded by both parties. The sixtyday poll Is a basis and the thirty-day poll a conclusion as far as a man’s right to
vote to concerned.
Chairman Logsdon, of the Republican committee, Is not in the same boat with Chairman Fanning, of the Democratic committee. Mr. Logsdon’s commlttmen have been elected In each precinct, while the Democrats’ plan is for the chairman to appoint the committeemen. This is conFldcred in the Interest ot discipline, and a protection against duplicity, as the chairman may remove a committeeman whenever he is so disposed. Chairman Fanning has completed his appointments of committeemen, and the men appointed will
take the poll next Monday.
The developments of Saturday in the Democratic primaries furnished foundation for much talk to-day. The talk was speculative, and the name of Taggart was frequently heard The speculation was whether he would or would not be the Democratic candidate. Said one “high In the councils of the party” and a
“father of wisdom”:
TaKirart’s Little Game. “Taggart Is up in Maine, I guess, keeping his feet wet with the salt sea waves, and waiting for everybody here to get through squabbling. He Is like the man In the poker game. He has fixed the deal so that he Is sitting In the easy chair, and it's his last say. Why, he has just taken the whole bunch of politicians. Democrats and Republicans, Into camp. Mr. Taggart, In a polite and diplomatic Interview, announced that he could not again he a candidate for the nomination
for mayor. This was a tip to the Democrats, who said they would not let him get away, but would force him to run. So Mr. Taggart is to be forced by the Democrats. “But while this man Taggart is in Maine, near Skowhegan. or Tuscabalura. or whatever the name of that harbor Is. the councllmanic primaries are held. He kept out of that fight himself, but he so fixed things that there was a showing of administration and antl-admintotratlon strength. First he got a lesson from the Democrats, who declared they would force him to run again; next he got a lesson from the Republicans, who threaten to split on Bogkwalter and Ransdell; then he gets another lesson from Saturday’s primaries. The next lesson will be taught a week from next Saturday, when the Republican nominating convention Is held. Then the lessons will be sufficient and the Democrats will meet in convention. If. after all these lessons, this man Taggart Is satisfied that he can win he will say nothing but divide the wood; If he can not win you will find him declining with absolute certainty and no Ifs or ans.” The Republican Candidate*. The three Republican candidates, Bookwaiter, Ransdell and Allen, are making a canvass of the workers of the city. The vigor of each is Increasing as the time for the convention draws near, and it is likely that next week will find the struggle somewhat violent. So far most of the work has been “still hunting” with the supporter* of each candidate, but the tight to gradually becoming more open. Allen lives In the Second ward, Ransdell In the Third and Bookwalter in the Fourth. This so divides the North Side ward that It will remain for the South Bide to make the decision as to the nominee. Under those circumstances the result becomes more doubtful as the convention approaches, although the antielement, so-cailed, was able to carry the South Side almost solidly in the last primaries to elect committeemen. Chairman Logsdon and Secretary Bowlus, of the Republican city committee, formally opened the Republican headquarters in the old dispensary building today, Both will remain there most of the time from now until after the election. Assessment of Laborers. Chairman Fanning and Comptroller Johnson were Incensed to-day at the report that laborers employed by the city had been assessed *20 to *40 each for campaign purposes. Mr. Johnson said that no ona had been assessed, but that the Democratic committee had solicited contributions from city employes, and that the solicitation met with hearty re-
sponse.
While Mr. Johnson did not say so, It Is understood that policemen and firemen who are Democrats will be assessed, just as they have been In the past. Mr. Johnson says no man was assessed who could not afford an assessment, and that no laborer or menial will be permitted to pay anything. SHEEP WITH SCAB. Report* Sbow U,3S1 Sheep Infected wUh the Diseaae.
Reports to the chief of the State Bureau of Statistics show that 9,351 ar.eep in the State are Infected with scab These reports come from 321 townships. Sheepgrowers say that flock-masters will be apt to scan the vote to see who defeated the bill in the last General Assembly In which they were vitally interested. Purdue University will soon publish a bulletin that will contain valuable Information relative to the widespread disease known as “scab.” caused by parasites. Ex-Govcnor Matthew and Governor Mount earnestly urged the passage of a law that would afford better protection to stock-growers from the spread of infectious and contagious diseases among the flocks and herds. A bill was prepared, after a careful analysis of all the laws of the different States, and was pronounced the most perfect of all the laws on the subject. LEAGUE ISLAND DOCK. Bids May be Submitted to Legal Officers.
Washington, D. C., August 7.—Admiral Endlcott, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Dock? of the Navy Department, may submit the bids for the League Island dock, which were opened Saturday, to the legal officers of the Department for a decision. This action may be necessary owing to the confusion arising from some of the conditions made by the bidders, rendering it difficult for the bureau to figure out which is the lowest bidder. From the first examination of the bids Admiral Endicott believes the award should go either to the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company. whose bid was *936,000. or to the firm of Curtis & Driscoll, whose bid according to their own interpretation of th k * fcpecifieations, to placed at JSSO.OOO. Put conditions are introduced Into the latter bid whicn may make It In reality a higher bid than the former. — o ~ Tax Commissioner* Delayed. The State Board of Tax Commissioners was delayed In Us hearing of appeals from counties to-day until late this afternoon. Representatives of Mrs. F. M. De Pauw, of Floyd county, were to have appeared before the board to object bo the assessment the Floyd county board had placed on her property, but did not come. The auditor of Fayette county also was on the program.

RATLIFF WAS NOT THERE.
Morton County Council Conld Not Organise in Morning.
The Marion County Council held Its •first meeting to-day. The county councils throughout the State also met for the first time. The new law directs that they shall meet on this day for organisation. The Council for this county was to have met and organised at 10 o’clock a. m.. but on account of the absence of one member, Dr. Barclay Ratliff, of West Newton, the meeting went over until this afternoon. J. E. McCullough, one of the members of the Council, was at the office of the county commissioner* at 9 o'clock, and two hour? later Ell Helny, John Strange, W. B. McDonald and James T. Layman came In The Information came that Dr. Ratliff could not get to the city until after noon and so the members decided to come together again at 3 o’clock. One member of the Council—William A. Bell—has resigned to accept a position In another State, and the Council, under the law, will elect his successor. The councllmcn were not certain to-day whether they ought to make *he selection to-day or wait until the next meeting. in Ten Minute*. The councilmen said they had an impression that the business before them pould be transacted In ten minutes. All it ey had to do as far as they were Informed was to elect one of their number president. The members all expressed the belief that the new lew regulating county business can be made valuable, and th* disposition Is to accomplish as much as possible under it. The Council will not “get down to business” until Us next meeting, which will take place on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in September. At that time the county auditor will present to the Council the estimates submitted by th* several county officers, along with such recommendations as he may see fit to At the September meeting the Council will fix the rate of taxation for the ensuing year, and It will also pass an ordinance, making an appropriation by Items for the various purposes covered by the estimates. Under the law the several county officers must have their estimates In the hands of the county auditor by Thursday of this week. These estimates are to be kept on file in the office of th* county auditor for the inspection of any taxpayer of the county. A Peculiar Situation. The situation in the Council Is peculiar. Since the resignation of W. A. Bell, the membership is three Democrats and three Republicans. Mr. Bell made the fourth Republican. Thus the Council flnxls itself at the beginning of its life In a peculiar situation, and It is likely that there may be difficulty In filling the vacancy. __________ CATTERMAUL HERE.

A NEW JAPANESE PALACE, It 1* to be Built for the Crown Prince and will Cost m Big Sam. [New York Tribune.) The architect to the imperial household of Japan has come to N*w York to buy steel to be used In the framework of the new palace for the Crown Prince Yoshthito. His name is Tokuma Katayama. “The new palace,” he said, "wfll be one of the finest, if not the finest structure In Japan. It will cost between *2,000,000 and *3,000,000, and will take six or seven years in building. In no country are buildings thrown up with such astonishing rapidity as in America. In Japan we require more time, but the building of the palace will be unusually slow, because of the Intricate work to be put on It. It will be In the Italian Renaissance style, and in the decorations I shall endeavor to combine what is best of Japanese art and of European and American art as well. It is likely that we shall import some carvers from America, but it is too soon to discuss that subject, for the building will not be ready for decoration for several years. I do not know, as yet, the amount of steel I shall have to buy. I notice that the price of steel Is steadily rising, and I am afraid that my purchases here may run up as high as ,*300,000. As soon as the material for the framework arrives, work on the palace will be begun. “Architecture In Japan Is In a transitionary stage. The old wooden dwellings are unsatisfactory for many reasons, chiefly because they burn like tinderboxes. The ordinary brick building .»* even more undesirable, -because the first hard earthquake shock will send It tumbling down upon the heads of Its occupants. When you consider that Japan has. on an average, about three hundred earthquakes, of more or less violence, tn a year, this is not an unreasonable objection. The steel frames, however, have solved the problem. Japanese houses In the future will have steel frames, and the walls may then be built of brick or stone with perfect safety. But the hlght must be limited. I should say that no building over four stories high, even though it had steel frame-work, would be safe in Japan. The palace of the crown prince will be only two stories. In the matter of architecture Tokio or Yokohama can never be like New' York. They may be as wide and as long, but not as thick. There to a tendency In Japan to adopt tha American architecture as far as possible. It varies so widely that monotony has no chance to creep In. “I think the next class of buildings to undergo a change will be the railroad stations. At present they are almost invariably of the old wooden shanty style. We have none of the fine train sheds, with great steel arches, that you have In America, but I think the time la coming when we will. I predict that the next few years will witness a wonderful revolution In Japanese architecture.” A Yellow Ideal 1 Judge. J “We,” said one yellow editor to another, "have printed a picture of Dewey’s wife and a picture of the woman Dewey wanted and couldn't get. Now what shall we dor’ "Now we'll print a series of pictures of women that Dewey might have fallen in love with If he had met them.” — 'i'— Suburban Prose.

Northern Airica and the Nile valley are its winter home, but In the spring it crosses the Mediterranean en route to Ensrland, Ireland and central Europe, from Hungary to With Russia, where it breeds, and whence, when that function Is complete and the young fully grown. In the late autumn It returns to Africa. When in m.gratlon In the spring, these quails are caught in nets, not only tn Egypt, but on the islands of the Mediterranean, the coast of the Pontine marshes and in Sicily, where they were sometimes netted In the past to The extent of IflO.OOG a day. The greatest catches were made on the Bosporus. In the Island# of the Greek archipelago they are cured and smoked, and a large trade to carried on In them. In Italy In former times the netting of them was the more persistent, and so numerous were they that when in flight during the night they overturned small boats near the shore by alighting on their sails and rigging. Formerly, when there

Tfce Desire of that Nation to Have More Sea Facllttle*. [New York Sun.] A dispatch from St. Petersburg the other day said that the Grand Duke Vladimir was about to open formally Russia s new naval and ice-tree port of Catherine harbor In the far north. Some of the Russian newspapers. It added, were exulting over the prospect of "Russia's war flag being agalns hoisted on the Polar
seas.”
The building of this port on the north or Murman coast of the Kola peninsula, 175 mile? north of the Arctic Circle, Is no ordinary event Any one who hears the story will be reminded of the time when Peter the Great was accustomed to order the building of towns and cities In the waste places of Russia. Thereupon the towns and citltes were certain to rise on the sites he had designated. In the same way a town and harbor works have been started In these days and carried to completion near the shores of the Arctic ocean. They were built by Imperial command. The town was reared first and Inhabitants were found for it later. Not a building stood there at the time the site was selected, or when the edict went forth to rear the town, build the wharves and supply the place with everything needed to make a convenient harbor. The project had its enemies, but to-day all Russia Is rejoicing over the successful carrying out of the grand Idea; and tn a part of the world where a winter night is two months long, and the sun hangs so low in summer as to impart more of light than warmth to the flat tundras that stretch inland from the barren coast, a most substantial town now stands, with docks, coal depots, a trolley street-car line, electric lights in buildings and streets, and fresh water piped irora a mountain lake. . , There are several reasons why this work has been carried out. If to the result, first, of the national aspiration to become more powerful on the sea. No other of the geratest nations to so weak as Russia to te available sea front. This fact cripples her commerce, for the whole people befleve the report of the Government commission. which declared last year that the country was losing millions of dollars annuallv through not having a sufficient commercial fleet of its own. and then m Europe. Russia to hemmed in by powerful neighbors of great maritime development. Her navv and merchant ships can not get out of the Black sea without passing through foreign waters. Neither could they emerge from the Baltic in time, of war with Germany without being confronted by hostile vessels In their own home waters. It was In quest of a good port on her northwest coast, emerging from which her ships might be on the great ocean, that her surveyors went to the Murman coast In 1893 and began the surveys and explorations. The word Murman to a corruption of the word Norman. Two other reasons, however, were fully as Important as the naval reason for beginning this development. Une was the certainty that If a good harbor were found it would be an open-winter port, free from Ice. Tho eastern trend of warm surface

was only a demand for the birds for local consumption, no restrictive measures were employed to prevent their capture; but now, through means of rapid transports, tion. all of the markets of Europe and Great Britain are supplied with them. They are transported alive In crates, and are fattened before being sold. The result of this enormous netting of the emigrating quails Is to reduce greatly the number that Is available to the sportsman for the autumn shooting. Formerly from forty to sixty were considered a good day’s average to the single gun In the various countries which they visited. This average to now reduced to one of ten or twelve, and the determined protest of the influential sportsmen has aroused the governments Interested to put an end to their capture during the spring emigretlon. While each European state can, and does, protect Its non-migratory game birds. It can do nothing for the protection of quails without agreement of the various nations within whose territories they nest and breed. To accomplish this. France, Austria. Germany and Switzerland have signed a protocol forbidding the netting of quails within their borders, and th* transportation of Egyptian birds across thelt domains. The latter clause, however, can not be made effective without the co-oper-ation of Great Britain, Inasmuch as the qiiaito netted In Egypt are transported to Marseilles and Trieste in English steamere and their transit across the countriet interested can not be prohibited so long as the birds are destined for consumption eolely in England. As by far the largest catch of spring quail to made In Egypt, and the one the most fatal to their future in Europe, the refusal of the British government to prohibit netting In the valley of tne Nile or to interfere with their transportation to the English market, nullifies the efforts of Austria, Evince, Switzerland and Germany for thwlt protection. The correspondence of the various nations interested in this matter to quite voluminous. Great Britain, as usual on International questions that Involve an element of gain to the subject* of the Queen, assumes a purely selfish attitude and declines^ to make any concessions to what it consioers a sentimental proposition. HAWAII’S VOLCANOES. Some of the Remarkable Erapttona of the Fn*t Recalled. [New Y^rk Herald.] The Island of Hawaii supports the two grandest of active volcanoes in the world —Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Near to Mauna Loa (the Great mountain) to Mauna Kea (the White mountain), which to now an extinct volcano. These mountains, rising as they do to an elevation of upward of 13,700 feet, are, in fact, when measured from their true bases at the bottom of the sea, the loftiest of all known mountains, overtopping ML Everest, of the Himalayas, by from one to two thousand feet. The extraordinary force of Hawaii's volcanoes can best be estimated by recalling some of the more remarkable eruptions in the past. The eruption of 1843 discharged a mighty flood of fiery lava, which formed three streams five or six miles wide and more than twenty miles long. In that of 1859 the flow continued for two months, and a river of liquid rock from one to five miles wide and of considerable depth, followed a widening course of fifty miles in length, ending at the sea. In addition to the terrible streams of molten lava that pour from the crater of Mauna Loa, there to always danger ot a sympathetic outbreak from Kilauea,a volcano situated on the eastern shore of Mauna Loa mountain, but much less elevated. its crater being 4,400 feet above the level of the sea. The Volcano is oval Jn shape, with a circumference of nine miles. Its lava-covered floor to broken by a second depression, approaching a mile in width, and, when empty, of about one thousand feet in depth. This great lakelike cavity to usually well filled with liquid lava, the fiery flood at times occupying its whole extent, boiling and tossing In lurid waves and sending up fierce jets of smoke and flame. It rises and falls, at times ascending high enough to overflow the wide crater floor above, and at others sinking to the bottom, in some connection of sympathy with the eruptions of Mauna Loa. On some occasions the streams of lava seem drawn off by subterranean channels. Such an event took place from Kilauea In 1840, w'hen the bed of the crater sunk .100 feet, the lava flowing underground to the district of Puna, where it burst out in a flood from one to three miles wide ami from twelve to two hundred feet deep, destroying forests, plantations and village#, and finally leaping Into the sea from a hlght of fifty feet in a magnificent fire cataract a mile In width. For three weeks this gleaming cascade continued, the ocean boiling and raging beneath it. while myriads of dead fish floated on the waves. In 1868 a similar event took place from the crater of Mauna Loa, the earth quaking and quivering a* the river of lava followed its subterranean channel and finally burst out on a wooded hill at Kahuka, 3.800 feet high. Here It rent a fissure nearly a mile long, from which the crimson flood shot upward in an extraordinary fountain to a hlght of 500 to 600 feet, sending up vast columns of fiery lav# and redhot rocks hundred* of tons in weight. Thence the glowing stream rushed onward to the sea, finally passing over a precipice 500 feet Ugh In a frightful cataract of fire half a mile wide. By ti.is eruption 4,000 acres of valuable pasture land were buried under barren lava, and a much wider area of fine forest land was destroyed. This ei option was accompanied by violent earthquakes and eruption of great sea waves upon the land, by which seven-ty-pine i^rsono and 200 house* were destroyed In 1880-81 an eruption took place from Mauna Loa «rhlch lasted for nine months.

Jouaust—A witness affirms you went, Dreyfus—It to false. Jouaust—You had relation* with * woman? Dreyfus—Yes. ~ Jouaust—What nationality? Dreyfus—Anstrian. He Never Gambled. Jouaust—How could you have such relations, you an officer on the general staff? Dreyfus—I committed no indiscretion. Jouaust—Your books were well kept. You had special resource*. Passing through the Champs Elywee In 1891, you remarked: “Here lives a certain lady. Suppose we call on her. 1 have lost heavy sums at her house’” Dreyfus—It to false. I have never gambled. Never, never. Jouaust—Did you know Maj. Du Paty de Clam? r. Dreyfus—No. Jouaust—Did you know Major Henry? Dreyfus—No. Jouaust—You have no motive for animosity against them? Dreyfus—No. Jouaust—And Colonel Plcquart? Dreyfus—I don't know him. Jouaust—And Lieutenant-Colonel Esterhazy? Dreyfus—I don’t know him. Jouaust—You never wrote him? Dreyfus—No. Jouaust—Col. du Paty de Clam saya that your writing at hi* dictation was less firm when he made you undergo a trial on the day of your arrest. Dreyfus—My writing has not much changed. Here a non-commtesloned.officer, who was standing in front of Major Carrlere, crossed the platform and handed Dreyfus hto writing on the day of hto arrest. Dreyfus replied by Insisting there was nothing to show any perceptible change in hto handwriting. Colonel Jouaust then spoke of the interview with Du Paty de Clam, and Dreyfua replied: ”1 never confessed anything to Du Paty de Clam.” Here occurred one of the most dramatic scenes In the examination. Dreyfua, tremendously excited, swayed to and fro for a moment and then all hto pent-up emotion and Indignation burst forth and he cried in a piercing voice, heard throughout the court and even by thoee standing outside: "It to iniquitous to condemn an Innocent man. I never confessed anything.” Dreyfus, as he uttered the words, raised his right, white-gloved hand and held It aloft as if appealing to heaven to vindicate him. Jouaust—Did you say: “If I handed ever documents it was to have more important ones in return?" Dreyfus—No. Jouaust—Dh 5 you say: “In three years they will recognise my Innocence?” Why did you say three years? Drevfus—I asked for &U means of investigation. They were refused me. I was justified In hoping that at the end of two or three years my Innocence wouki come to light. Jouaust—Why three years? Dreyfus—Because a certain time la necessary to obtain light. Jouaust—Had you an afterthought? Dreyfus—No. The examination of the prisoner was ended with a few minor questions, and the court decided to sit behind closed door* by five votes to two.

August 7.—M. J. Comely, of the Paris Figaro, cable* to the Herald: "The Dreyfu* affair will not be ended with the trial at Rennes. Suppose Dreyfus I* condemned. The adversaries of the army' will not abandon the campaign they have; , atarted against It and which, for that mat- ; ter, has not produced any appreciable result, since it has not diminished by a cen-. time the appropriations mad* for military' purposes, nor lightened the *aoriflce* which t^e country gladly accept* for It* army, nor Interfered In the least degree with the discipline that obtains in that same army. “So, in the same way the ‘intellectuals’ who have reasoned out their eoavlction of> the prisoner's Innocence, will not renounce that conviction on the strength of a trial with closed door*, secret document* orj gratuitous asservatlon*. "If, on the other hand, Dreyfu* 1* acquitted, one must be excessively naive to Imagine that people who have played their last card on hia guilt will accept i heir failure without a word and betake themselves quietly to their home#, *ayIng: ‘We shall have better luck next time.’ “The fact of the matter is that the Dreyfus affair to the Dreyfu* affair only for a few simple and honest people, like you and me.

The Boulanglst coalition has been renewed; the anti-Semites and Nationalists are on the warpath; the Cosarlan army is being reconstructed; th* Bonapartlsts come out, followed by the royalists, chsrlshlng a fond hope of making the movement serve their purposes.
