GRESHAM,s TINDICATION

WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-The Evening Star to-
night says:
The state Department generally has little
difficulty in obtaining publishers for the infor-
nation which It voluntarily furnishes and 1t
rarely has to complain because documents
which 1t supplies do not reach the public. But
n curious fact has recently been brought to
tho attention of the department as to the in
dependence or lack OF awe and Difference, or
whatever the missing quality may be, which
induced the publishers OF several prominent
newspapers In Western city to withhold from
publication n document which may yet be OF

at appears that Secretary Gresham for pur-
poses Of his own. desired to have his views. as

Western public. where the Secretary OF state
has been rather sharply criticised because OF the
German embargo. The State Department ac-
cordingly sent copy of this opinion to the lead

DREYFUS,s CONVICTION.
The Document That Secured IL IL Said 3,
Have Come from Belgium.

LONDON. Dec 25.-The Paris correspondent Of
the Morning Post says that he has been assured
by good authority that the document by which
Dreyfus was convicted of high treason came
from Belgium.
There is no doubt" the correspondent con-
tinues, that the document was once in the
hands Of the German Legation in Brussels, from
which France probably obtained it by bribing.
Count Won Munster, the German Ambassador in
Paris, Is angry at the assertion that member OF
his staff handed over the document and that
France intended to ask for the name Of the
member or a denial OF the story"
The Standards Paris correspondent SAYS: ut

will publish the speech he made at the trial of
Dreyfus, showing the nature OF the charges.
The publication Of the speech will not be per-
mtted In France, however"
The Chronicles Paris correspondent says that
the journey OF Dreyfus to Brussels was one OF
the clues that led To his detection.

ths worid q. vsin ouess or Health.
LoNDoS. Dec. 25.-The physicians attending
Lord Randolph Churchill issued a bulletin this
evening saying that their patient is in critical
condition.
The doctors say that Lord Randolph is a vic
tim Of general paralysis. The Queen and the
Prince of Wales inquired as to his condition to-
day.
Lord Randolph Churchill made a visit to this
country last summer for the first time In eleven
years. lie was accompanied by his wife. who is
the daughter Of the late Leonard jerome. They
arrived on July on the Majestic and went to
the Waldorf for n few days. Lord Randolph
was at that time greatly broken in health and
his manner betrayed restlessness and nervous
ness. lie was greatly changed from the gay,
clever, and vivacious young man who gained
wide popularity here and at Newport on
his former visit. when he was the guest OF the
Jeromes. lie walked feebly and with jerky steps,
like man who is not certain Of where he is put
ting his feet. His whole appearance indicated a
painful nervousness, from the querulous tones
OF his voice to his compressed lips, drawn over
his teeth in an apparent effort TO control their
trembling.
When they left New York. Lord and Lady
Randolph Churchill went TO Bar Harbor in
Chauncey VI. Dcpew's private car. They were
accompanied by DR.. Keith, Lord Randolph's
personal physician.
A few days later long and sensational story
was published in Chicago paper to the effect
that Lord Randolph was in the Windy City TAX
ing the Borton cure for the morphine habit. but
this report was promptly contradicted by a de-
spatch frUm'Bar HarhOr, saying that the Church
ills were still there. and went driving sailing
every day, but saw no one socially.
In August Lord Randolph crossed the con-
tlncnt going by way of Victoria to san Fran
cisco, on his way to India. At that time he said
OF his own conditions
have suffered acutely from nervous pros
tratiOn and Insomnia brought on by the ex.
treme tension Of public affairs. and constant at
tention to party interests long after / should
have abjured public speaking. feel very much
better now than when | left England. | have
no doubt that when my tour Is completed shall
be able to return home and repnter politics en-
tirely restored, My illness resulted entirely
from overwOrk."
Lord Randolph was for a number OF years
brilliant IL somewhat erratic figure in British
politics. He entered Parliament in 1874 Mt the
age OF 25. and in 1886 he became Chancellor Of
the Exchequer and leader OF the House OF Com
mons under Lord Salisbury, with fair prospect
OF ultimately becoming Prime Minister.
With the single exception Of the younger Pitt,
he was the Youngest Chancellor Of the century.
He surprised his friends. however, by resigning
only life that now stands between him and the
title Of Duke OF Marlborough Is his nephew.
who Is Just past his majority, unmarried and
very frail in health.
