bank notes. but they do not circulate in
England. only twenty miles away. Eng
land has notes issued by her local banks,
but, issued by a local bank I'm one county,
they will not circulate In the adjoining
county. What necessity is there that
there shall be a different rule in respect

rience Of mankind and a right reason.

uoRE DREYFUS MYSTERY.
The Paris Police seize a Quantity of
Papers.

PARIS Nov. 2l-The forcible entrance
OF the house Of Colonel PicQuard, form
erlv OF the War Department and the
seizure OF papers found there is tho lat
est incident OF the Dreyfus affair. The
circumstances are almost as mysterious
as those attending the arrest OF Dreyfus
three years ago.
Early this morning q carriage drew mp
at the door of a snug tenement IN the
west end of the city and an officer wear
ing the rosette OF the Legion Of Honor
alghted lie was accompanied by three
subordinates. The officer demanded oil
the doorkeeper the names OF the persons
residing I'm the house. and then aroused
all of them and searched their rooms
He burst into Colonel Plcquard's rooms
which were locked and unoccupied. Every
thing i'm tine place was overturned and "a
quantity Of papers was seized.

whom the concierge had summoned, me

dressed TO the Minister of War, directing
a search OF Colonel PicQuards rooms.

and wrote him reams of typewriter love
letters appointing weird places for inter-
views. Colonel Picquard did not return
her affection, and 10 Is said that When
she learned this She sent Information
against him 20 the War Office.
II IS curious that the War Office should
have taken such immediate drastic ac-
ton on the strength OF such information.
The mystery ia far from becoming clear

more tangled.

accused Of being guilty Of the crime FOR

result is seen in ediiices OF which me-

United States I have not seen more
solid and elegant public building than the

berries. grapes. apples, pears, oranges

known TO the East-are grown in the
open air and sold In the markets. 4 pro-

the smallest. Luxuries which money cam
not buy in a more rigorous climate are
here within the reach OF the steady
workingman, and the humblest vagrant
can enjoy tho wholesome air by the in
halations Of a most profuse vegetation.
Los Angeles is growing steadily as a
city Of homes. and It is eminently adapt
ed for it. 1t would astonish your readers

THE foreign news is alarming in
the extreme. The Turk instead of
acquiesing in the peace negoti-
atoms as represented by the am
bassadors at Constantinople, con-
tinue to arm and mobilize their
troops until now they have an
army of nearly a million of men in
and around Constantinople. The
war party in Turkey. which en-
braces that class of people who are
Mohammedans first, is very strong,
and they are urging upon the Porte
the absolute necessity of declaring
Holy War of Mohammedans
against Christians. So strong is
this party in Constantinople that
the foreign ambassadors now fear
that a general massacre of all the
Christians residing in Turkey
may occur at any moment.
On the other hand, the foreign
governments have determined to
issue a manifesto demanding GER
tain specific acts to be performed
by the Turks in their settlement
with Greece, which the well-ad-
vised at this time, believe will
never be acceded to; and the re-
suit will probably be war which
will not be confined to Greece and
Turkey but will Immediately open
throughout Asia Minor, English
India, Egypt and Africa, and in
all countries where Moslemism is
dominant, When we take into
consideration that the followers of
Mohammed are more numerous
than those of Jesus one can meas
ure the magnitude of the war
which is now imminent. r.
