CAPT. A. DisEfFUs' betrayed important
military information TO the German en-
bassy. This called forth protests from
the German Government, but the pro
tests were unheeded and court martial
sitting in private. tried and found Drcy-
fus guilty. He was sentenced to be de-
graded from all military rank and hon
ors and To be confined for life in fort
ress.
The sentence was carried out on tie
parade ground of the Ecole Alilitaire in
the presence of 1000 troops and numcr-
Gus civil officials and journalists. Drey-
fus was taken before Gen. Darras and
other officials in the center of the square,
where the verdict of the court martial
was read to him. Gen. Darras then adj
dressed him: ''Dreyfus. you are un-
worthy TO carry arms. In the name of
the people of France we degrade you
An officer then approached, took Drcy-
fus' sword and breaking it cast it on the
ground. He then cut the buttons and in
sigma of rank from the uniform of the
condemned man. Dreyfus cried out,
"Vive la France" rnd protested that he
was innocent. His voice was drowned by
roar from the crowd, 10000 strong, in
the Place de Fontenoy, shouting Death
to the traitor" and by an outburst from
the officers of the reserve, crying, Isl
lence, traitor"
After being stripped of the insignia Of
his rank the unfortunate man walked
around each side of the square which was
lined with soldiers. The latter exhibited
deep emotion and many of them wept
After the march, amid cries of death to
the traitor" Dreyfus was taken to the
barrack gate and given over to the civil
authorities for Imprisonment in some
fortress. The degradation produced n
profound excitement in Paris, and, in-

PAUPER AND MILLIONAIRE
An Inmate of a County Aims
house InheritS a Vast
Fortune.
Cheated Out of Riches He Became
Cripple and an Object OF
Charity.

LEWISTON, Me-, Oct. 12.-For the last
five years there has lived in the poorhouse
here man who was known to the au-
thorities as John Bell. He was, taken in
in 1890, after being discovered IN an ap-
parently dying condition on the roadside,
and has been an inmate ever since. He
has steadily refused to reveal any of his
previous history, but he undoubtedly came
of good family, and to some of the in
mates had confided the fact that he was
heir to large fortune, but he had been
cheated out of it. He has dwelt on this
subject for the last five years, and the
keepers thought he was mildly insane on
this subject, though he was perfectly ra-
tional on everything else.
To-day, however, they received informa-
ton from the British Home Government
that fortune had been left to one John
Bell and that they had reason to believe
that he was the same as the man living at
the poorhouse. The information was at
once carried to Bell and he gave proof
which shows conclusively that he is heir
to the fortune which amounts to nearly
$15, 100000.
These proofs and the affidavits of Bell
were at once sent to the home Govern
ment and he will shortly go to England to
establish his claim. His story is most
remarkable one. Ten years ago he, in
company with his father and brother went
to South Africa and engaged in sheep
farming.
On the death of his father his elder
brother was able to secure the whole of
the property, and he was left without any
property at all. He came to the United
States and landed without food or money.
While walking he broke his leg, and it
being improperly set his limb was rem
dered useless. In this condition and abso-
lutely starving he was taken to the poor
house and has remained there ever since.
About year ago the brother died, leaving
his whole property to Bell, and the au-
thorities have been trying to trace him
ever since, and have only of late located
him.
During the whole time he has not had
the least communication with any of his
relatives and had given up all hopes of
ever living elsewhere than in the poor
house, the injury to his leg preventing him
from active work. The British Consul at
Halifax will see that he receives immedi-
ate transportation TO England, where, if
he is able to prove his identity, the whole
fortune will be turned over to him.

Dean Van Amringe delivered an address
to the freshman class of the Columbian
School OF Arts yesterday and read a letter
from the head of the department of psy-
chology, inviting members of the class to

strongly recommends that every freshman

POtcerfaJI COnabin dtiOns VII Work for the
Ucstern Statesman.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 12.-Chairman
II. D. Mcmillan of the Republican State
Central Committee to-day gave out the
following interview on Senator Allison s
political candidacy:
Mr.. Allison is certain to go into the
convention with a strong following from
the Northwest, and especially with the en-
tire West. He will have the delegates
from Iowa, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska and New Mexico. There
is every reason to believe he will secure the
Wisconsin delegation, but that is not yet
assured, so his friends are not counting on
it. In the East he has a powerful combi-
nation at work in his interest, and there is
every assurance that he will have splendid
support from New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
"Mat Quay, Tom Platt, Joe Manley, Ret
Clarkson, Senator Davis and Frank Petit
grew are all pledged for the Western man
and are working to secure the nomination
OF Allison. They are of the opinion that
Tom Reed, while still a candidate, will
have a show of success, and that the fight
.
Recent occurrences in the East would indi-
cate that the Mckinley boom started too
soon and that the tide is setting for Alli-
son.
I'm the past Allison's name has been
frequently mentioned, but conditions were
such as to demand that the nominee be
from one of the great doubtful States and
has precluded the possible nomination OF
Allison.
This has also been the reason Western
man has not been nominated by one of the
great parties. This is the time when the
objections to Western man will not stand
in the way, and if the West combines on
Allison it is reasonably certain he will
have strength enough in the convention,
with assistance he will secure from East
ern States, to give him a fighting show for
the nomination. There Is no favorite
business about the Allison boom this time.
1t is already full-fedged and able to stand
by itself, is growing every day and will be
strictly in it when the convention is heidi

AN OPERA-HOUSE BURNED
Flames Broke Out Just After
the Audience Had
Departed.
Disastrous CONFEDERATION In the
Masonic Temple Block In
Duluth.

DULUTH, MINI, Oct. 13.-The Masonic
Temple, one of the largest business blocks
in the city, was discovered to be on fire at
1890 this morning and at the present hour
Il :45 A. ny is still burning and probably
will be entirely destroyed.
The Temple Opera-house occupies part
of the building and large audience was
there to see the play and had just dis
persed before the blaze was seen. All OF
the scenery and other effects of the
Daniel Sully company were saved.
The building also contained the Masonic
lodgerooms, fitted up at cost of $4,000;
the public library, which contains 5000
volumes; the Duluth Academy of Music
besides grocery-store and several smaller
establishments. The whole loss will prob
ably reach quarter of a million dollars.
At 2:10 A. NJ. it is probable that the busi-
ness part of the building will be saved and
only the opera-house will be destroyed.
In that event the loss will not exceed
$75, 600. The fire Is still burning.
At 2:l5 the fire is under control. The
Damage is confined to the opera-house.
There may be some damage to other parts
OF the building by smoke and water.

rency, because the fact that they exist
compels the Government to provide large
gold reserve, which, in the very nature of
things, cannot be permanently main
tained at any fixed amount; and whenever
it begins to diminish distrust and appre-
hension arise in the public mind; values
are unsettled, business is disturbed, and
more or less loss is entailed upon the peo-
pie. The losses already sustained on this
account are almost beyond computation,
and there is no good reason to believe that
the country can escape further danger in
the future if the policy of the Government
is unchanged in this respect. The fact
that the soundness of our currency de-
pends, or is supposed to depend, upon the
maintenance of a certain fixed reserve in
the treasury keeps the business of the
country in an almost constant state of agi-
tation and alarm, and is, from every point
of view, detrimental to the interests of the
people.
"After the experience of the last three
years it seems almost incredible that a
proposition to retire these notes should
encounter serious opposition"
Secretary Carlisle demonstrated the fall
lacy of the claim that these notes bear no
interest and were the cheapest form of
currency by figures showing that the
United States note is the most expensive
form of currency that the people can have,
it having been necessary in order to secure
and maintain a fund for the prompt re-
demption of the notes to issue interest
bearing bonds to the amount of $257, ,915,-
400. He placed the responsibility upon
the people and their representatives in
Congress to determine whether the public
debt should be increased from time to time
in order TO redeem and reissue this paper.
which was, in his opinion, of doubtful con-
stitutionality. The executive authorities
must obey the laws as they stand, whether
they be good or bad. but all the powers
conferred upon them by the statutes, he
promised, would be faithfully and fear
1essly exercised whenever necessary for
the preservation of the public credit and
the maintenance of a sound currency.
In conclusion, the Secretary declared
that until legislation provides safe cur
rency the parity of the two metals would
be maintained and the whole volume of
our currency. paper and coin alike, would
be kept equal to the highest standard
recognized by the commercial nations of
the world.
Carlisle was followed by Councillor ]. r
Lesson, representing the commonwealth ;
Collector Warren, Charles B. Jackson and
Hon. John E. Russell.

After Looting Taken Town the In

CARACAS, VENEZUELA, Oct. II. - In
spite of all denials of the Government it
is known that revolutionary bands are
now out at Angostura, Valencia, Coro and
Areu, causing some damage and making
all travel unsafe. It is known that revo-
lutionists received arms from neighboring
islands within fortnight.
Saturday morning rebel force under
command of Colonel Maxine Fragoso
attacked Coro, and after a hard fight. last
ing over four hours, succeeded in captur-
ing that town, after having killed seventy
three soldiers and wounding many more,
while the assailants lost thirty eight
killed and fifty-two were wounded. After
the capture of the town the rebels COM
menced pillaging, numbering and robbing.
Scarcely house escaped looting, and
many were fired during Saturday night
while the citizens were organizing newly
for defense.
While the rebels were drunk Sunday
morning they were surprised by troops and
citizens. The rebels tried to flee, but were
shot down in cold blood. The Government
is now sending troops against these So
called bandits. The rebels throughout the
country announce that they are trying to
make junction of all dispersed bands.
The Government semi-officially an
nounced that it had received most posi-
tive knowledge that England had signified
It's intention to submit the pending diff
cultles to arbitration, but this is doubted,
because the Government is sending troops
to the Orinoco country, and because it is
stated that the British within the last few
days have been concentrating troops on
the Guyuni River with orders that these
troops advance into Venezuelan territory,
though as yet they are only covering the
line which they have been claiming.
