Boston, Feb. "a bill has been in
troduced in the state legislature which
seeks to have the state undertake the
publication of parts of the colonial
records, giving the muster rolls, pay
rolls and other interesting data con-
nected with the Indian and French
wars. The Revolutionary war records
are now being published, and the Of
fcers Of several of the patriotic So

wars.
Z. S. Barrett, president of the Ma

the matter. He urges that as Massa-
chusetts has more material than any
other state the legislature should act
at once.

ICEMEN RETURN TO WORK.
Operators Yield COnditionaIly to tho
Demand for More Paw,

Kingston, N Y, Feb. 9.-This morn
ing the workmen who struck at five
of the large icehouses just north of
this city resumed work as usual the
ice operators having agreed to accede
to their demands for an increase of
twenty-five cents per day in their wag-
es if the other houses along the river
would grant the increase to their men.
1t Is thought that the ice operators
would be willing to pay even higher
wages to their men rather than have
the work of harvesting stopped as all
are fearful of a thaw which would
ruin the prospects of a good crop.

DEWEY WAS READY FOR CAMARA

San Francisco, Oct 9.-A story illus trating Admiral Dewey's prompt way of preparing for any emergency is brought from Manila by Capt Sebree of The steamer China. When the ca blegram reached Dewey that Camara S fleet had actually entered the Suez ca nal and might be expected at Manila Dewey paid 6 visit to Sebree on the China and carefully inspected the big liner. He seemed particularly inn pressed with her sharp steel bow, which comes to knife-like point. He turned to the captain and said:
 This is a fine ship you have, and want to use her as ram. We can put on some good rapid-fire guns, and then you can sail into the auxiliary vessels of Camara's fleet and ram them out Ot sight before they know what you are doing. 1 will see you are made acting commodore, and that you are we'll re- warded. Will you do it?''
 >, Sebree replied he would like no bet ter fun, as the China is twice as fast as most Of Camara's fleet, and he be- liexed she could whip even the cruis- CTS in a fair fight. When Camara turned back Dewey was much disgust ed, as he had all his plans laid to give those remnants of Spain's fleet as live ly a reception as he gave Montojo's Warshipsl

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
Big ConcIave Begun at PiffSbura
 Yesterday.

Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 9.-Not in the history of the Knights Templar con- claves, from 1916 to this day, has a conclave ever been opened on moro beautiful day than it was in Pittsburg today. The sun, after having been hidden behind clouds for several days, burst upon the awakening city this morning and threw his rays of smiles and admiration upon a festival array of streets and buildings, which made every one feel that this was an omen of the weather god.
 The influx of knights, which com menced yesterday, continued during today and up to midnight, when the formal opening of the conclave was inaugurated with a festival sermon at Trinity Episcopal church. There was a congregation assembled larger than this historic building has ever held. The first formal event. on the pro- gramme of the twenty-seventh tri- ennial conclave Of the Knights Templar took place in Trinity Protestant church. It was the official divine ser vice of the Knights Templar.

Wetmcre has rendered his resig- nation as superintendent of the state insane asylum at Topeka to Governor Leedy ard the state board of charities his resignation was a letter to the governor in which Dr. Wetmore gave his rrasons fer resign ing The letter tells an astounding story of alleged cruelty. inhumanity and debauchery at that institution un- der political management. Dr. Wet more tells of alleged instances of the death of patients from neglect, and speaks of ''drunkards and incompe- tents placed over the unfortunate in mates" He charges that a state joint exists at the asylum, and ac- cGsed Chairman H. G. Jumper of the state beard of charities with being on continual debauch for the past if teen months, and openly charges the subordinate officials with attempting to ruin pure women.

said he had come to acclaim he army, and having attained this end, it now only remained to demand the liberation of the insulters of the army. This brought forth cries of ''Vive Derou- lede,' "Vive y'Armee' from the crowd. DerCulede announced that he was go- ing to the police office to demand, as a member of the chamber of deputies, the release of the two worst foes France had, meaning NM. Pressense, editor Of the Temps, and Vaughan, di- rector of the Aurcre. M. Norhardt, the other prisoner, belongs to the Lea que for the Protection of the Rights of Git izeas.
 After some parleying M. Deroulede and M. Habert, another member of the chamber of deputies, went to the police station, where NM Pressense and Vaughan protested against thsir inter ference. They declared that they had been arrested wnen they refused on legal grounds to leave the entrance of Wagram hall fer which they had paid the rent in advance. They added that they were attacked by gangs of roughs, and that the police arrested them instead of the aggressors.
 There was considerable disorder throughout the city in the afternoon, the anti-revisionists shouting, "A bas PAurore." Fifty arrests were made.
 N. Pressense and his companions were subsequently liberated.
 An immense crowd gathered in the boulevard at night. Policemen were drawn up on both pavements in front Of the offices ' the Libre Parole, from a. window of which an enormous flag was flying on which was the inscrip- tion, La France aux les Francaise.

ESTERHAZY'S LETTER.
Failure of The Efforts 10 Sell if in
 London.

London, Oct 9.-Nct the least anus ing of the minor episodes in the Dreyfus case has been going forward for a week past here in London-the attempt to sell the confession" of the notorious Esterhgzy. When the tide began to three journalists and hangers-on Of Journalism foresaw the day in which he might be willing to tell all that he knew as to the inner workings of the general staff. the intelligence office and the court martial that condemned Dreyfus. In Paris they took the ma Jor, so to say, under their wing; and when circumstances suggested flight they provided him with refuge in London. By this time, as their story went, Esterhazy had already 'con- ,fessed" to them, and the details that he confided were precisely what the newspapers of London, which with scarcely an exception, lean toward Dreyfus, would desire. Accordingly the promoters set forth to sell his story. One went to one editor, and one to an other, apparently in quest of the high est bidder. They could not exhibit the
 confession" Indeed it had still to be put upon paper. They could not even convey clear notion of it's contents; but it was bound to stir the world. The editors were curious but canny. They spoke of corroborative details, over which the promoters grew sadly con- fused. They said frankly that no 'Econ- fession" from the major was worth the thousands of pounds demanded. Thus they forced down the price until it could have been bought for hun dreds. Still it remained such an in tangible document that the editors, in spite of the fear of each that one of his rivals might be the purchaser, de- clined to buy.
 The promoters struggled the harder. The market was going against them, and they filled it with rumors. Thurs day night the confession" was to ap- pear on Friday morning in weekly and rather inconsequential journal. h. stead it was advertised for sale in the suise of an article, informing the town that the major was in London to ex- ude revelations-at a price All day the promoters tOiled terribly. The representatives of rival news agencies watched far into the night for the confession" that was sure to be print ed in some journal or other the ensu- ing day. Yet once more the promoters

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct 9--The recep- ton Of Companies H and D, Second Texas, by Forth Worth citizens was a patriotic affair. The soldiers reached here at o'clock and were met at the depot by hundreds of people and bands of music. The boys marched through the streets to the armory, where their arms were attacked. Tonight grand reception and banquet was rendered them. Speeches were made by Acting Mayor Henderson and others. The attendance was estimated to be fully 10000 people

The ladj have been energetically assisted by t.- G. A. R., Robert E. Lee camp, U. c. ", and the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias. All these orders assembled at the court house and escorted the soldiers from their armories to the re- ception grounds, where they were re- ceived by Acting Mayor Henderson. The programme that followed was in part made up of music, responses by members, and also by members of the United Confederate Veterans and Grand Army of the Republic
 After the programme had been car ried out the soldiers were served with elegant refreshments.

ANTl-DREYFUS CROWDS.
They Nearly Cause a Day of RiOt-
 ing in Paris.

Paris, Oct. 9.-Despite the assertion that the French people are beginning to see the injustice of the terrible sen teIce imposed on ex-Captain Dreyfus, It appears to be an easy matter for blatant agitatOrS to fan into blaze the popular prejudice against the un- fortunate prisoner and his race. An instance of this was given today.
 Some of the supporters of a revision of the Dreyfus case had convoked a meeting that was to open a't noon in Wagram hall. M. Paul Derouiede, the notorious head of the League Of Pa triots which was suppressed by the government some years ago, and which Derou,ede threatens to revive had also called a pro-army meeting for today. When he learned Of the revisionist meeting he caused placards to be post cd about the city declaring that the meeting to uphold the army would be abandoned because it was his duty to be present in Wagram hall to meet the i1sulters Of the army.
 The authorities expected that De- roulede,s presence in Wagram hall would result in riot, and the pro- prietor of the hall was quietly notified that it would be better if the meeting
 
 organizers of the meeting arrived they found the hall closed. They knocked repeatedly upon the doors, but the proprietor refused to open the hall for them. NM. Vaughan, Pressense and Norhardt, who were the principal lead CTS, insisted Upon their right to hold the meeting, and they finally became so determined upon entering the hall that they were arrested. This caused tu- mutt in the crowd that had assembled outside, and the gendarmes were kept busy restoring order. It was decided then that no further attempt to hold the meeting should be made.
 At just about this time Deroulede ar- rived on the scene. Finding the hall closed, he made a speech to the crowd, which had grown to be very large, and which he addressed as patriots. He

Perhaps he had returned to France in disgust that English editors should be less trusting than the French general staff.
