EX-GOV. BUSIEL
Prefers Charges Against N
FL. Rep. State Committee.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Ex- Governor
Charles A. Busiel of New Hampshire
has preferred charges with the civil
service commission against the mem
bers of the republican state committee
of New Hampshire for assessing poll
teal contributions upon federal office
holders in that state, and has written
to the comptroller of the currency COM
planning that the First National Bank
of Concord is aiding and abetting the
violation of the civil service law by
acting as the agent of a United States
official in soliciting political subscrip-
tons from other United States office
holders.
Ex-Governor Bushels complaint to
the civil service commission was sent
to Commissioner Proctor, October IT,.
and on October % he sent to the com
missioner copy of circular calling
for political contributions issued by
the republican state committee The
circular was signed by William f.
Thayer treasurer.
1t stated, among other things, that
in the pending campaign no help could
be expected from the national or con
gressional committee. We must look
to those who are honored by the party
in this state" the letter ran, ito meet
the expenses of the campaign Know
ing the interest you feel in republican
to contribute S., which you will send
by check or money order in enclosed
envelope to the treasurer"
The amount of the assessment had
been cut from the circular, and also
the name of the official to whom it was
addressed. Ex-Governor Busiel, in his
letter, gave the names of several office
holders who could substantiate the
charge that these circulars We're issued
and sent to them. In his letter ex-GoV-
ernor Busiel says he is a republican,
and has no desire to- injury his party in
the state, but feels compelled from
the highest motives to call attention to-
these violations of the civil service law.
Commissioner Proctor has written to
Mr.. Busiel enclosing copy of circulars
issued by the post office and treasury
departments, and asking for any fur
ther proofs Mr.. Busiel may possess. He
also sent copies of the decision in the
Curtis case, in which General Curtis,
then member of congress from New
York, was fined $500 for soliciting poll
tical contributions as treasurer of the
state committee The state civil ser
vice commission will investigate Mr..
Bushels charges.
This has not been officially decided
upon but a member of the commission
says that Mr.. Bushels showing fully
warrants an investigation. If upon in
vestigation the charges are substantial
ed legal prosecution would follow
With regard to the complaint filed
with the comptroller of the currency,
which was received today, Comptroller
Dawes says it will probably be referred
to the civil service commission. The
comptrollers duty is confined to the
enforcement of the national banking
laws.

During the session of the
court. an anti = revisionst mob
numbering about one hundred
persons and headed by VIM. Drumont,
Millevoye and Lasies, shouting, "Vive
Parmee!" and "A morte les Juifs,"
cDeath >to the Jewsl') attempted to
enter the court of cessation, but the
passage of the mob was barred by the
police, and large reinforcements We're
sent to guard the approaches to the
court.
The belief is general tonight that the
court of cessation will pronounce Meth
er for revision nor for an annulment Of
the decision in the Dreyfus case, as
either course would entail awkward
consequences. To avoid these, it is
expected the court will decide that, as
the affair now presents itself, there has
been no treason, and that therefore the
condemnation pronounced upon Capt.
Dreyfus by the court martial cannot be
upheld. M. Dupuy, who was inter
viewed as he was leaving the Elysee
said the question of Dreyfus revision
was purely judicial. adding: mo honest
politician will decline to accept the de-
cision which shall be given"
The Courier Dusoir says that the
revelations in the report of Nj. Bard
before the court of cessation as to the
part played by SOME members of the
general staff have produced a strong
effect in military circles, and are like
~ to result in a reaction tending to put
an end to the antagonism between the
civil and military authorities"
The sensational part of M. Bard sTe-
port was the shorthand notes of the
examination of the late Lieut.. Henry
by NJ Godefroy Cavignac, then min
lister of war after Henry's forgery had
been discovered. These notes showed
that the confession Of forgery was only
obtained with the utmost difficulty,
Henry stoutly denying and then pre-
varicating to the effect that he only
added one phrase to the genuine letter;
and then, when driven to the last cor
ner protesting that he acted for the
country's good. The drift of M. Bard S
conclusion was that Comte Esterhazy
was the real cuiprit but that his con-
domination would have meant the ruin
of the intelligence department.

Troops
Going.
THE SIXTH MASS.
1t Will Probably Be Sent
Home.

Washington, Oct. 8.-The war de-
partment has decided to send more
troops to Porto Rico.
Orders have been issued directing
that the 9Th regular cavalry, now at
Huntsville, Ala. the 9Th United States
volunteer infantry, now at Chickamau-
ga, and the nth New York,
now at Fort Adams, to proceed to such
a point in Porto Rico, as may be de-
sired by the commanding general in
that island The 9Th United States
volunteer infantry and two companies
of the Indiana colored volunteers, now
at Fort Thomas, KY, will relieve the
9Th volunteer infantry at Chickamau-
ga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points in the south.
Some of them may go to Cuba, but the
majority will for the present occupy
the new camps recently selected in
Georgia and South Carolina.
1t is thought that troops sent to
garrison duty In Cuba will not remain
long, but when they have seen service
for a few months, will return to this
country. The same is probably true
as to Porto Rico. 1t is also intimated
that when the troops return, the vol
unteers will be given 60 days fur
Tough, and be mustered out By that
time congress viii have had an oppor-
tunity to determine what should be
done in regard to garrisoning the new
possessions. This determination is no
doubt due to the pressure that has been
brought by number of congressman
for the mastering out of the volunteers
from their states and districts.
The recommendation of the president
and the war department will have been
made before the return of the troops
from either Cuba or Porto Rico, and the
necessities of the case made known. AL
though there has been less pressure for
out the volunteers since the
announcement was made that the
troops could not be spared the demand
continues with sufficient persistence to
convince the war officials that re-
of the army will be neces-
sary, and that some arrangements will
have to be made to secure force for
garrison service in the island and the
states, which will not be subject to the
same difficulties experienced in the case
of the volunteers. Although the pres
sure for the muster out of the regi-
ments is not so great, the demand for
the discharge of the individuals has
overwhelmed the department.
The troops, which have been ordered
to Porto Rico, will relieve like num-
Der of regiments now in the island,
the organizations to be designed by
Gen. Brooke. It is generally expected
that the 9Th Massachusetts, will be one
of the regiments sent home.

During the campaign the Democrats
were sOlemnly assured by Republican
papers that they were being swallowed
by the Populists and now the same pa
pers are telling the Populists that their
party is to be disorganized preparatory
to a reorganization under Democrat
leadership. The latter story is given a
day off occasionally to make room for
the assertion that the opposition to the
Republican party is dead. No one can
change his political views or vary his
public statements faster than a Repub-
lican editor.
One day last week Chairman Taylor
Riddle prepared a statement relative to
the showing made by the complete vote
Of the State at the request of repre-
sentative Of an evening daily. In some
way representatives of the Capital and
Kansas City Journal discovered that
such a statement had been written. They
insisted that it be given to them, but
Mr.. Riddle respected his obligation to
the evening paper which would not issue
until the afternoon Of the following day
and refused to give up the statement.
They then manufactured an interview
with him which contained nothing which
he had said and nothing which he would
have said and palmed it off on the public
as an authorized statement from him.

Now that Congress is in session and is
prepared to make an official investiga-

The United States of Central America
