II. LabOuchere IN LONDON 1rutos
A French friend Of mine, who ought to
know. tells me that one of the Items OF
evidence submitted to the Dreyfus court
martial was that the war affice officials
perceived that whenever during the ma
neuyers on the frontier any change In
the position of the troops took place. this
seemed to be known in advance to the
Germans. The directions for these ma
neuvers were copied In the department
where Dreyfus was employed. The au-
thorities, therefore, gave him paper on
which certain maneuvers were ordered.
Others were not aware Of what was In the
paper and the maneuvers did not take
place and never were intended to. Never
theless, the Germans took action. which
showed that they had learned what had
been mapped out on the paper. He further
ument was actually secured from the
pocket of the German ambassador, and
that the German emperor stated that II
this was made public he would recall his
ambassador. Further, that two members
of the court-martial were for condemning
Dreyfus to death for communicating In
formation to the enemy. The majority,
war, there could be no enemy.
Do believe ell or any of this2 neither
believe nor disbelieve anything that I read
or hear about this Dreyfus affair my atti-
tude being one of philosophic doubt. On
the one hand, the Dreyfus trial seems to
have been conducted in a fashion that
would not have been tolerated had the pro-
ceedings been In public; on the other hand
1t Is difficult to believe that a number of
French officers would have found q brother
officer guilty of treason had there not been
overwhelming evidence against him.

DECLINED BY OMAHA.

The Selection of the Eighth Club of
Western League Stfll i'm Doubt.
After having the eighth franchise OF the
Western League practically awarded to
Omaha. Manager James T. Mckee, in a
brief note of explanation. notified the base
ball owners in session in Chicago yesterday
that the conditions that would have to be
fulfilled were too hard and he declined the
honor Of managing a team in the western
city.
What the inward meaning of Omaha's
withdrawal is was the subject of much
speculation. Mckee is confessedly a Spald-
ing man, and it was limited, though no one
would admit the truth of the rumor. that
behind 1t lay plan for the placing of a
Western League club in Chicago with Cap
tain Arson as manager.
1t was finally decided that the question
of awarding the eighth franchise should be
left to the committee of three. of which
President johnson is to be one. A mail
vote will then be taken On the report and
the much-mooted question settled for three
years at least. The next meeting will take
place February "a, in Kansas City.
Two deals in players were made by West
ern Base Ball League magnates yesterday.
Detroit gave up Beard and frost in ex-
change for Buckley and Butler of Column
bus, the exchange depending upon the will
ingness of the players. The other deal
makes Campau captain of the Minneapolis
club. He is released by Grand Rapids in
exchange for Roat and Eustace.

WONDERS OF HUDSON BAY.
1t Is Half ms Large as the Mediterran-


From the Montreal Quebec Witness
Hudsons bay, the Mediterranean of Can
ada, the most striking geographical feat
ure OF North America, was the subject Of
a lecture and debate at the meeting of the
McGill Science Graduates Society, Friday
evening. 1t was a large subject. Hudson
bay is half as large as the Mediterranean
seat drains a vast territory, 100000
square miles in area-vast rivers flow into
it from the south. east and west; flowing
from places as distant as the plains Of Min
nesota and Dakota. In its waters live I'M
disturbed fish and oil-bearing mammals.
along it's shores are fine harbors, in the
country surrounding 1t are rich mineral de-
posits and fine farming lands. But it is a
portion destitute of human habitation.
White whales, walruses big as elephants
and fur-bearing seals disport themselves
undisturbed in the water. On land there is
wealth with no one to take it away.
But all this is the arctic regions" you
say. mot a bit of it, says DR.. Bell, di-
rector of the geological survey. Moose bay
is in latitude further south than London,
and the more northern portion of Hudson
bay is at about the same latitude as the
north Of Scotland. The climate also COM
pares very favorably with that Of the same
latitude in other portions of the globe the
bay does not freeze across in Winter-the
winter conditions there being similar to
navigation is possible during four or pos
sibly five months of the year. The Hudson
bay route would bring the great northwest
as near to Europe as the city OF Quepec; ~
offers perhaps the best route to the Yukon
district and is the national route to the
great oil fields Of the northwest. Gold Is
there-specimens of gold-bearing quartz
have been brought into the Hudson bay
stations-pyrites containing gold has been
found by the geological survey party. and
alluvial gold has been found. according TO
Mr. William Ogiivie, in the valleys. Gyp-
sum, iron, copper. silver and lead are
abundantly indicated in many places
Were the country within the arctic circle
the quality Of the soil would be of no con-
sequence. But there are scores OF millions
of acres upon which profitable stock raising
and farming may be carried on. and 1t Is
important to note that the soil observed is
rich and productive. In the district south
of James bay in q district as large as all
England. the total population at presehi Is IS
one Scotchman and thirty or forty families
of Indians.

How He Displayed 1t on the Stump I'm
Tennessee.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
There is in the scity of Memphis a pre-
cinct known Pinch, in which a majority
Of the voters were Irish. 1t so happened
that johnson and his opponent, Gus Henry,
were to meet in joint debate in this pre-
cinCt. The evening came, and hundreds of
blue Irish eyes We're OIL the two speakers
as they assembled the rostrum. Henry
opened, and bid for the Irish vote he
told in whitening terms how johnson, when
in Congress before, had voted against bill
for an appropriation to assist Ireland dur
ing a time of famine; he himself had done
yeoman work for the passage OF the bill,
while this other man, who was now asking
their support, had done everything possible
to defeat it, 1t was a fine point, and tn.
speaker made the most of II, burning be-
fore it the lamp of his eloquence until the
crowd were wild with excitement. Then
Henry sat down, and Johnson got up amid
cat-calls and SCOTS to answer him.
What my opponent has told you is true,
he said. ireland was suffering and 1
voted against appropriation for her re-
lief. for the money which it was thus pro-
posed to give away was not mine. but
yours; yours because ii was in the public
Golfers. l refused to give away money
which did not belong to me; but / went
down into my own pocket and out of my
own private funds-whIch l had right to
bestowI subscribed $50 to the relief fund
which was being quietly raised. How much
of his own money did Mr.. Henry give? Not
a cent! He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which of us
two did the better part by suffering Ire
iand?" The effect Of this was magical; the
cat-calls were now for Henry and the
cheers for johnson, and the votes went
with the cheers.
Thus the campaign went on, ending in
victory for the ex-tailor, who once more
took his place among the statesmen Of the
land. But his term was short one, for
death soon claimed him. But he left behind
him a reputation a stump speaker
which abides still upon the hustings down
in Tennessee.

IN LANGSTON'S MEMORY.
Impressive Services Held and ResOlu
lions Passed at n Big Meeting.

The lyceum of the Second Baptist Church
held impressive services at a recent meet
ing in memory of the late John NJ. Lang
ston. The attendance was unusually large,
the congregation crowding the church ID
the extent of its capacity. President Jesse
Lawson of the lyceum, in opening the SER
vices, paid high tribute to Langston )
bravery and courage under trying circum-
stances. H. Clay Evans, commissioner of
pensions, and ex-senator p. 5. S. Pinchback
made addresses, and remarks were also
made by Prof Kelly Miller of Howard Uni
versity: Rev. w. b. Johnson, Milton NJ.
Holland. George Richardson, George III.
White, Professor Hershaw, James Lewis,
Thomas l.. Jones and Robert III. Terrell.
When the addresses were concluded reso-
lutions were unanimously passed, declaring
that in the death of Mr.. Langston the race
lost one of its brightest scholars education
one of its truest friends and patriotism
one of its stanchest advocates; while hu-
mainly itself is poorer by reason of his
death.
1t was further resolved that in view OF
his long and continued labor for the cause
of education, and the work he did for the
early establishment of free schools in the
District Of Columbia, that the authorities
be requested to name the next building
erected for the education of the colored
youth the "Langston School," and that il
was due to his memory that a day be set
apart to be observed by the schools as
'Langston day..
