DREYFUs's PRIsoN.-Ile Royale, 10
which Captain Dreyfus, the disgrace
full traitor of the French army, is to be
deported, belongs to the group called
the Isles of Health, off the coast OF
French Guiana. A writer in the FL
garo describes the group as numbering
three islands, situated lwenty-one miles
from Cayenne, the island capital of the
province. lie Royale, the largest Of
the group, is less than four miles long.
The others are lie St. Joseph and He au
Diable. They are all wooded and smil-
ing islets, separated one from another
ly narrow channels. They are occupied
by the penal administration, Guiana
being penal colony, and on one of tn
islands is a hospital for convicts that
fall i'll on the low and uuwEole,
some plains bordering the river
Maroni, the boundary between French
and Dutch Guiana. There is a colony
of lepers on the island separated from
all other residents ard under strict
quarantine.
The Isles of Health derive their
name from the presence of the hos
pital. French Guiana is peculiarly
unhealthfuI country, SO much so indeed
that after nearly II 800 out of about
%, 100 convicts sent 10 the county in ten
years had died. it was decided to make
New Caledonia the place of deporta-
ton for French convicts. New Gale
douia has delightful climate, aud it is
affirmed that the corvicts there are bet
ter off than most French peasants.
Nevertheless, dangerous convicts and
those convicted q second time 60 Gui-
ana, and the hospital of the Isles of
Health is kept pretty full, since the
climate of Guiana does not improve.
Escapes are frequelt among the con-
victs Of Guiana, but on the Isles of
Health they are rare, because it is COM
parativelv easy TO guard so small ter
ritory. Dreyfus will be we'll guarded.
No boat can approach the island with
out being seen by the garrison, while
prisoner who should attempt to escape
by swimming would incur the danger
of being devoured by the sharks that
swarm in those waters.

ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
Advance of 20 Cents n Ton by All
Lending Companies.
New York SUM

Another evidence of the Improvement
in the anthracite coal trade noted last
week has been given in a further ad-
vance OF . cents a ton in the price Of
coal. Although there has been no meet
ing of the presidents nor the sales
agents, the advance was made al
most simultaneously by all Of the lead
ing companies. officials of the coal
roads In this city yesterday said that
the demand has increased very much In
the past two weeks, and that the com
panies would try 10 get some profit out
Of the business hereafter.
The net prices are now on the basis
OF 1875 a ton for stove coal which IS an
advance of about 80 cents ton over the
low prices at which stove coal was sold
during the summer. 1t is understood
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
the Lehigh Valley and the Philadelphia
and Reading are In accord with the
movement, and 1t is believed by those
best acquainted with the coal trade that
the advance will be maintained. If the
demand should continue at the higher
figures. another advance is looked for
at least by October lst. Already some OF
the companies have not on hand a sufli-
cient supply Of some sizes TO meet orC.ars
Contracts for future delivery. even at the
advanced prices. were refused.
No meeting OF presidents Of the anthra-
cite coal roads has been called. and as
far as can be learned none is expected
in the near future. All interest seem
10 have decided that the unfor-
tunate condition that has prevailed
for months past was about to
be corrected by the natural law of supply
and demand and that the rush of bust
ness as the cold weather approaches
would prevent cutting of prices. The
drought prevailing in some Of the mining
regions and countries tributary to the
waterways has helped to lessen the
supply OF coal at tidewater The Della
ware and Hudson canal has been practi-
cally closed for two weeks. and many
mines in the Pennsylvania districts have
been closed down for lack of water
In addition to the increased demand
by manufacturing concerns they have
resumed work, retail dealers are busy
filing orders for house-owners return
ing TO the city, and they expect that the
prospect of another advance in price
will at once increase this branch of the
trade

fiance OF all circumstances"
This shows plainly that jefferson was
favored for n third term by so many of
his party friends. even before he had be-
gun hls second term, that they had in
duced him to keep back the declaration
which he desired 10 make for some time

above quoted. Mr.. Jeifersons party was
in 1907 busily at work TO renOminate him.
So far from IT being true that history
no where suggests that his party was
ready to nominate him for a third term"
il IS the fact that denomination was
rendered him by the legislatures Of Mas

resolutions.
The votes of these States We're more

The prize was clearly within his reach;
all he had to do was TO extend his hand
and take 1t.
Again. however. he refused 10 consider
the offer. and again he put the example
Of Washington in the front as his chief
reason. In the formal letter which he
addressed to all the State legislatures
that had renominated him, Mr.. jefferson
said this
II should unwillngly be the person

set by an illustrious predecessor. should
furnish the first example OF prolongation
