INQUISITION IN FRANCE.
9he Barbnrous Method OF Treating Accused
Persons Goes Out mt Last.

Tho BarbnrOus Method OF Treating Accused
Persons Goes Out mt Last.
Special Gable Despatoh to TEE Sun.
LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE French system of tho
private inquisition of all accused persons goes
out of existence to-day. and the Infamous
machinery which is responsible for many ter
rible miscarriages Of justice no longer disgraces
the country which calls itself a republic. Here
after prisoners must be arraigned within
twenty.four hours. and cannot BIO xamined
without the presence OF counsel.
Curiously enough. the High Court Of Paris
was occupied to-day with one of the most fright
full cases of injustice growing out of the old
system. It was an application for the rehabili-
tation of two men. Pierre vaux and Jean Petit,
sentenced in 1852 to hard labor for life on q
number OF charges of arson. Both died In con-
fnement in French Guiana. Vaux's son is now
Deputy for Dion. The conviction was tho re-
suit of a plot by a political rival who. later. was
discovered to DO the real incendiary, and who
hanged himself In prison.
M. Marian, the public prosecutor, denounced
the magistrates who were responsible for q
judicial wrong which Is irretrievable, In spite
of rehabilitation and q grant of 100. 900 francs.
The magistrates actually concealed tho fact of
the confession of tho real criminal and made
way with documents SO a. to Illustrate . do
mand for q new trial.

WILL THE POWERS oARrE CH1NAs
They May Vet Engage in n Scramble for slices
OF the Flowery Kingdom,
Special Cable De.patch to THE sun.

SnfctuI CuOc Dcbputcn TO HE sun.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE impending partition of
China, although not expressed in quite such
bold terms, is q subject which is absorbing the
minds of most European statesmen. The 40
counts are somewhat conflicting with regard to
the concessions actually obtained by Germany.
but there Is no longer any doubt that they are
most important and significant.
The supineness of the Chinese Government In
not yet explained. 1t was at first expected that
the Oriental authorities would show some Of the
Abdul Hamid sort Of cleverness and plot TO got
the rival powers to fight the battle for thom
against the German aggressors. There is no
sign Of this as yet. Appearances Mt the mo-
ment suggest that each Of the great powers Ia
90 engrossed with c~ovetous plans OF its own that
1t is unwilling to interfere with the ad-
veuturous Kaiser. 1t would surprise nobody in
the diplomatic world II tho game of
grab should soon become a scramble,
OF which China would DO the hopeless vic
tim. 1tmay safely be assumed that Groat Britain
is not included in any general scheme for the
partition of the Chinese Empire. ifsuch q scheme
exists; but it Is also certain that Lord Salisbury
will do his best to get q full share for England.
1t is tho danger Of a falling out among the
plunderers upon which the Emperor of China is,
perhaps, relying for preservation, because such
danger Is very great unless Great Britain will
satisfy herself with a meagre portion Of tho
spoils. 1t is remarkable, on the whole, that the
developments In tho past three weeks in the far
East have caused so little excitement in Europe.
The only outward sign of the extreme tension Of
the situation has been the almost daily Cabinet
councils in London and the great activity in
the high councils Of other capitals.
BERLIN. Dec. ll.-Tbe Tdgebldtt says that
Japan has declared that she will not object to
the German occupation of Kiao Chou Bay, pro-
vided tho territory annexed does not exceed a
zone 100 square miles in extent.

COMBINING FOR AFRICAN TRADE.
a Scheme 10 Unite Many Firms Doing Dusi-
mess ON the west Coast.

special Cdbe Deapofoh TO THE sun.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE increasing severity OF
French competition in the West African trade
and tho certainty OF the revocation Of tho
Royal Niger Company's charter have caused
the revival of q scheme in London, Liver
pool, and Glasgow for q great combine
ton Of firms doing business in that part
OF the world. 1t Is proposed to take into the
trust small as well as largo firms. and the neces-
sary capital is ready to buy out those firms
preferring to DO bought. The Minister for tho
Colonies has said with regard to tho scheme
that tho Niger Company, which. of course, is a
trading as well ms a governing corporation. has
already caused him more trouble and worry than
all the rest Of Africa by its grasping methods of
doing business with the natives; and another
gigantic combination is likely to sin in the same
way II, ns it desires, 1t manages to secure a
monopoly Of any particular region.
The French Foreign Office has a prodiglously
long list of the Niger Company's misdeeds filed
among the departmental archives, and they are
being used with some effect in the negotiations
now proceeding In Paris.
The 81. Jdmes's Gazette made a considerable
sensation early In the week by announcing the
virtual settlement Of tho trouble between Eng
land and France In the upper Nile region. which
was announced in these dispatches more than a
month ago. Tho attaches of the Foreign and
Colonial Offices profess to know nothing
about this matter. OF. rather, they tell the
reporters they have no news. But the
81. James's Gasette is right. The con.
ditions lately have all been favorable
for some such deal. French movements on tile
upper Nile had thoroughly frightened England.
and the French Government was beginning to
feel that 1t had gone too far in the Niger region
to be ablc to rccede with honor or dignity.
Well.informed persons now admit that the
courage and fine. far.seeing craftsmanship of
that French movo right across Africa have re-
suited in giving NJ. Hanotaux a weapon which
he Is now using with discretion and skill.

DESIRE ITALY TO JOIN THEM.
France and Russia Trying to Tempt Her Int
Alliance with Them.

Alliance with Them.
Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON Dec. 1.-THE dual alliance diplomats
in Rome have been utilizing the unrest in
Austria.Hungary as an argument why Italy
should throw her lot with France and Russia.
An attempt has been made to persuade Marquis
di Rudini first and King Humbert aftcrward
that Francis Joseph's empire is on the point Of
breaking up. King Humbert is said to have
remarked something to the effect that he had
heard that story before, but he is never fl!ppant,
and the reported remark was probably never
made.
1t seems to be true, however, that the French
Ambassador. in the heat Of argument. recently
went SO far as to remind the italian Premier of
Italy's military Weakness. and pointedly re-
ferred to the condition of the artillery. II Siguor
di Rudini entered upon an argument on such q
subject at all with a foreigner, he could not
truthfully have declared the Italian artillery to
be in Il satisfactory condition, as the facts are
too notorious.
There Is reason to believe that the last scheme
submitted to the War Department provides for
a thorough reorganization of the field artillery
at q coat Of 80. oOO. 900 lire. Where the money
is to come from nobody has any idea, least Of
all the Minister of Finance. Moreover. the
transformation will take about eight years, and
much may happen in Europe in eight years.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
PARIS. Dec. 1.-THE Intransigeant claims to
give particulars of the documents on which
Dreyfus, condemned to life Imprisonment for
selling French military secrets to Germany.
was convicted. The paper says that owing
to the anti-Semite campaign Drcyfus decided to
resign his commission as Captain in the French
Army and to offer his services to Emperor
William. He wrote to the Emperor ask
ing to be admitted into the German
Army. and tho Emperor replied through the
German Embassy at Paris. saying it would
be preferable for Dreyfus to serve Germany in
the post he then occupied. He would be re-
garded as a German officer on q mission in
France. and in the event Of war he would take
in the German Army rank similar to that for
merly held by him in the French Army. This
proposition was accepted by Dreyfus.
The Intrdnsigeant adds that it learns that be-
fore Dreyfus was arrested eight letters were
stolen from the German Embassy. Count Won
Munster. tho German Ambassador. demanded
of NJ. Dupuy. who was then Prime Minister, the
immediate restoration Of the letters, threatening
that II they were not returned he THE Ambassa-
dor) would leave France in twenty-four hours.
The letters were returned, but boforc they
were sent back they were photographed. 1t was
these photographs that were submitted to
tho court-martial which condemned Dreyfus.
Seven OF tho letters emanated from Dreyfus and
tho eighth from Emperor William.

P%ITTsBURG, Dec. 11.-Mayor H.. p. Ford is
greatly worried lest Gen. Weylcr should burn
the city of Pittsburg. and he desires to warn
people to be on guard. To-day he received q
letter from n woman whose name he refused to
make public. The letter says:
by order of Gen. Weyler the city Of Pitts
burg is to be completely destroyed by fire be-
tween now and the spring Of 1898. Its location
ut the source Of the Ohio River. and that
a tributary to the Mississippi River and
its accessibility from tho East. rem
ders it a menace to the plans of his
campaign in this country in the coming war
between us and Spain. with other allied Euro
pean powers. Only incre ising vigilance and Sc
we're punishment TO those caught setting any
fire will ever save the CITY,"
" In case of war; said the Mayor, "Pittsburg
would be one OF the objective points of an invad-
ing army, as here is where the munitions of war
would be manufactured largely"
The Mayor may call on the writer of the let
ter, believing that she has, perhaps, means Of
learning the pl ms OF Spain. He will instruct
the police to keep a strict lookout in the mean
time for incendiaries. and will convey to the
War Department the information he has re-
ceived.
Tho writer may be a crank" he remarked,
but 1t is well to BIO on the safe side and take

As an official eastman had been even more
popular than as "a farmer. He drove the best
horses in the county, and. was always ready to
help a friend. He stayed around Greeley for
TWO or three months after the new Treasurer
had taken office and then quietly disappeared.
When his accounts were oycrhaulcd it was

THE GARDEN TRACK SHORT.
N'ensured After the Race and Found LaekinE
HOI Feet o lnchea TO the Milo.

After the end of tho racing at the Madison
Square Garden llst night, in the presence Of
the management, the track was surveyed and
round to be 56i feet 8 inches in circuit, meas
ured eighteen inches from the pole. according to
the racing rules. These figures, multiplied by
nine' the number OF laps said to have made o
mile. showed a total of 5,o7s feet 8 inches.
Accordingly, tho track turns out to have boon
short POI feet 0 inches in every mile. and It 10
estimated on this basis that Miller's record Of
2'o93 miles really represents nearly eighty miles
less.
This would bring his figures down to about
2,ol3 miles, over 100 moro than the record
made by Hale In the Garden last December.
