INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES.
Bales Students Trying to Arouse Interest il
Forming League.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 2S.-For the last
three or four years Bates College stu
dents have been endeavoring to bring
the four colleges of the State together ir
an intercollegiate debating league, but
with only partial success. Bates and
Colby have met twice upon the forum,
Bates being each time victorious, and
the representatives of Bates, after de-
feating Colby, two years ago, went to
Boston and defeated Boston Universe
ty, at Faneuil hall. All efforts have
heretofore been unavailing to induce
Bowdoin or the University of Maine to
enter.
This fall negotiations have been re-
newed and, Saturday, representatives
of Bates, Colby and the University of
Maine, met in this city, for the purpose
of forming an intercollegiate league.
Bates was represented by o. c. Merrill
Colby by Mr. Nelson and U. of M. by
Mr.. Libby. Bowdoin, however, was
not represented, and as the other col
leges are extremely DESTROYS of having
her in the league. no definite action
was taken.

THE DREYfUS CASE.
Sensation at Paris Over Publ
cation of Several Letters
Alleged to Have Been Written by
Author Of Dreyfts' Troubles.
He Denies Them Full and Impartial lnveslI.
cation Being Made.

Paris, Nov. 28.-The Firago has caus-
ed, a sensation. today in connection
with the Dreyfus affair by publishing
several letters purpOrting to be writ
ten by Comte Ferdinand Walsin Es-
terhaZy. who has been accused by M.
Scheurer Kestner, one of the vice pres
| idents of the Senate, of being the au-
thor of the unsigned letter which led
to the condemnation of Rreyfus
In one of them, after expressing his
intention to enter the Turkish service.
Comte Esterhazy is represented as
saying: Il shall not leave without
having placed trick of my own on
those amiable Frenchmen."
Other passages illustrating the char
acter of the letter follows: "Our cow
ardly and ignorant great chiefs will
go once more to people German pris-
OnS"
Il. should be perfectly happy if
We're told l was to be killed, tomor-
row, as captain of Uhlans, sabring
Frenchmen."
Il am capable of great things or
crimes, if that could avenge me. I
would not harm little dog. hut I
would have 100000 Frenchmen killed
with pleasure"
Comte Esterhazy proceeds to say
that "Frenchmen are not worthy Of
the cartridges intended to kill them"
and he conjures up "a dream Of festiv-
ity, in the shape Of the pillage of
Paris by 100000 drunken soldiers.
Interviewed by reporters. today, as to
the publication in the Figaro of letters
purporting to be of his authorship Count
Esterhazy displayed great indignation
and declared that they were forged by
the friends of Dreyfus. who, he says,
have taken words and sentences from his
letters and placed them together by
process with which he is acquainted. He
said also that he had been warned some
days pack that such a publication would
be made.
LIE Jour doubts the authenticity of the
letters. Shortly after the Figaro ap-
peared. Count Esterhazy visited General
PellieuX. who was appointed by General
Saussier, the military governor of Paris,
to conduct the investigation of the
charges which have been brought against
him, and protested against what he al
leges is fresh calumny." A semi-ofi-
cial note. tonight. says that Gen. Pei
lieux's investigation was almost finished,
but that he will now examine into the
authenticity of these letters; that he will
act with absolute impartiality and see to
1t that satisfaction is given to the honor
of the army. to justice and truth.

HOME FROM ALASKA.
Steamer at Seattle With Is
Miners from Dawson.
Bring 100000 in Drafts and
100000 in Dust and Nuggets.
Gov. Brady Interviewed on the Revision Of
Laws for Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 28.-The steamer
City Of Seattle arrived, today from
Skaguay. She had on board rs mer
who left Dawson. Oct. IA, coming GU
over the Dalton trail. They brought
1000, 900 in drafts and $780, in dus
and nuggets.
In an interview Governor John G
Brady of Alaska said: THE bushes:
men and officials of Alaska, are con
cerned in effecting some change o.
| amplification of the laws as they ar;
at present in force. They will combine
to submit to Congress a proposition t.
tuthorize the appointment Of a com
mission which will consider the needs
of Alaska on the ground. My idea il
that the commission should consist of q
senator, a representative and three
bona fide residents of Alaska. If We
| are able to get a commission, some.
thing may be accomplished for tn,
practical good Of Alaska. Otherwise
time devoted to Alaska, will be frit.
tered away in the consideration of in
dividual bills of no benefit to the coun-
try as whole.
Many think Alaska should have a
territorial form of government. The
objection to this are manifold. Chief
among them is the sparse population
of the country. A territory means
taxation and the people are not there
to be taxed. 1t would avail but little
to submit to Congress resolutions for
change in the code now in existence
These things must be investigated by
commission which can ascertain the
needs of the people by personal OBJ
servation.
I'VE want an extension of the land
laws. the status of the natives declared.
the regulation of the fishing industry,
the right of appeal and laws for the
preservation of game. The smuggling
evils must also be dealt with by the
commission. Last year q, 900 gallons of
Canadian whiskey We're struggled into
Alaska
Gov. Brady thinks that Alaska will
be as great an agricultural and farm
ing country some day as a mining one
Gov. Brady's trip to this city is on pri-
vate business. He will not go on to
Washington to attend the coming ses-
sion of Congress, as has been reported
The collector of customs at Tagish
Lake B. c.. in a letter says that five
lives have been lost in the lakes and
other places on the route to Dawson
within the last few weeks. With the ex-
ception of Frank Anthony. he does not
know the names of the victims. A num-

Providence, r. l., Nov. 2S.-Saturday
night, about 10 miles west by south of
Point Judith, an ocean tragedy oc-
Cured which resulted in the loss of
two vessels and two lives. The vessels
were the schooner Lottie, Capt. Brown
of Thomaston. Me-, and the barge ].
Il. Stillman, belonging to the Thames
Towing Co. of New London.
The vessels .colided at 10 o'clock on
Saturday night, and before the crew of
the Stillman could leave the vessel she
plunged bow foremost and disappeared
beneath the waves. The Lottie re-
manned afioat only a very few moments
longer. barely long enough to enable
the master and crew to jump into a
boat and get clear Of the hull.
The Stillman was in charge of Capt.
A. d. Pendleton and man whose
name is unknown. Both were drowned.
Capt. Pendleton has from Maine, and
was about As years OF age.

land. Me-, John Williams of Baltimore,
George Smith of Northampton, Mass,
and Louis Langeland of Norway.
AS the Lottie was running out Of
Vineyard Haven, Saturday night, the
green lights of two barges which the
tugbOat Gertrude had in tow, were
seen. They We're the Stillman and the
Busy. the former bound for Fall River
and the latter for Providence, laden
with coal. The lights of the Lottie
were plainly visible and from the lights
of the towboat. it was expected that
she would pass to windward of the
schooner, which was running free. The
course of the tOwboat was changed in
an attempt to cross the bow of the
schooner. and the latter. unable to get
clear, struck the Stillman on the bow
and both went down within five min
utes.
The schooner WAS laden with lime
and after the collision the cargo I'M
and crew of the schooner jumped into
boat, pulled for the other barge,
which the Gertrude had in tow, and
climbed on board. Later they were
transferred to the towboat and brought
to this city. which was the destination
of the barge.
