Hitch In the Formation of French
Cabinet.
DE FREYCINET HESITATES
DREYFUS PROTESTANTS SHOULD
NOT HOLD OFFICE.
Inadvisable For De Freycinet and
Ribot to Have Portfolios of War
and Justice-Activity In British
Navy Organizing Emergency
Squadron-High Wind In London.

Paris, Oct. 3O.-Nowhere is there any
sign of agitation today. The city is
quiet The anti-Semite papers vainly
endeavor, by abusing the judges of the
court of cessation, to lash the people
into a hostile demonstration, but the
people seem rather inclined to resent
the culpability or imbecility of the high
officers of the general staff who allowed
themselves to become the prey of I'M
scrupulous forgers. This refers espe-
cially to the officers deputed to investi-
gate the DreyfuS affair. 1t is believed
even now that important facts are be-
ing concealed in order to shield the
headquarters staff.
Most of the Paris papers approve the
decision OF the court of cessation, al
though the GauloiS and the Eclair de-
clare that even now revision is by no
means certain. The Liberte bows TO the
decision, but does not think it will end
the agitation. The Figaro states that
Comte Esterhazy has been deprived Of
his membership in the Legion of Honor.
The Dreyfus decision seems to have de-
layed a solution of the Cabinet crisis.
NJ. de Freycinet is again hesitating to
accept the portfolio of minister of war
on the ground that in view of the role
the protestants have played in the
Dreyfus case it would be inadvisable
for two protestants, himself and NJ.
Ribot, to hold the portfolios of war and
Justice.

TRUTH HAS A CHANCE.
Powers of Court of Cessation Make
Justice Possible

Paris, Oct. 3O.-By Saturdays decis-
ion the court of cessation obtains the
most absolute control over the DreyfuS
case. It can command and examine
any documents whatever, including the
doSsier, of any case bearing upon the
DreyfuS matter, and can examine under
oath any witness, however high his po-
sition. IN short, if the court makes a
sincere use Of its powers, the truth
will have a much better chance of be-
ing discovered than would have been
the case had it merely ordered revision
before another courtmartidl, whose
members might have been actuated by
a desire to shield the general staff.
Having concluded it's inquiry, ii can
present a new dossier TO either n civil
or military court for the final decision.
Its proceedings will not be public, and
there can, therefore, be no objection to
an examination of the alleged secret
dossier. if this is still in existence,
while the numerous generals who have
EXPRESSED their belief in the guilt of
Dreyfus will not be called on to explain
the grounds of their convictions. AL
though the liberation of Dreyfus has
not been ordered, the court can order
him brought to France at any moment,
and will probably do so at an early
stage of the inquiry. The court re-

Paul &c Roulede of the Patriotic
league turned the patriotic manifesto

of the soldiers who fell there in the
F'ranco-P ruSSian war of 1870, into a
revolutionary demonstration against
the decision of the court of cessation.
He delivered a violent anti-Dreyfus
speech. Marcel Habert, member Of the
chamber of deputies followed with
still more bitter harangue. There were,
however. no disorders.

INJUNCTION ISSUED.
Track-laying In Chicago Stopped By
the Courts.


Chicago. Oct 30.-An injunction and
improvised wreck today brought to a
sudden stop the work of laying the
tracks of the General Electric street
railway on Plymouth street, south to
Fourteenth, which was started at mid
night last night. On the petition of the
Chicago & Western Indiana railroad,
Judge Pyne today issued a temporary
injunction restraining the constructing
company from proceeding with the
work. which had been finished to the
Fourteenth street crossing of the Chi
cago & Western Indiana. Previous to
this, however. the railroad officials had
run four cars loaded with coal and ice
at great speed into the Grand Trunk
warehouse at the disputed crossing,
completely wrecking the cars and tear
ing big hole in the building, but also
preventing any further progress of the
work of preparing the street car cross
ing. With the injunction a squad of
police were sent TO prevent the con-
struction company removing the OBJ
Structions. Measures will Zoe taken at
once by the street car company to have
the injunction set aside. The franchise
for building an underground electric
system on the South Side was granted
the General Electric company by the
city council in 1896. The franchise was
bitterly fought in the courts, it being
alleged that questionable methods
were used both in securing the right of
way permits and in getting the fran
chise through the council

SECRET DossIER.
If 1t Incriminates Dreyfus, Will Con-
vict Mercier.

London, Oct S1.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times pointing out
that a serious dilemma has now de-
veloped in the Dreyfus affair, says: IF
the secret dossier is now communicated
to the court of cessation, it is con-
ceivable that it may incriminate Drey-
fus, but it will certainly convict Cen
eral MERCER, the minister of war at the
time of the conviction of Dreyfus. of
criminal violation of law in communi-
eating to the courtmartial documents
that were not communicated to Drey-
fus and his counsel
1T is said that in order to shield
General MERCER, who acted thus owing
to his weakness or his ignorance, that
all subsequent ministers of war have
adopted an obstinate attitude.
IF. on the other hand, there never
has been a secret dossier, the whole
case rests on the bordereau and must
fall to the ground. How then, since
Lieutenant Colonel Henrys admission
OF forgery, could the generals still
have declared Dreyfus' guilt?"
The allegation that the dossier. if
there be one, contains a letter from
Emperor William to Colonel Schwar-
koppen German military attache in
Paris). is utterly improbable, in view
of the emperor's character and habits
He would never have written TO a
military attache."

EMPEROR WILLIAMS TRIP.
Enters Jerusalem Through Jaffa Gate
to Music of Guns.


Jerusalem. Oct. 3O.-The approach of
their German imperial majesties to the
city yesterday was made through tri-
umphal arches and amid banners, gar
lands and ver-growing crowds, dis
played in every way their enthusiasm
and delight. The formal entry through
the JafTa gate was heralded by the roar
of guns at the citadel, where the Turk
ish band played the German anthem.
From the tower of David, Emperor
William and Empress Augusta Victoria
proceeded on foot, amid wild cheering,
10 the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
where they were received by the Cath
Ole, Greek and Armenian clergy, whose
patriarchs presented addresses eulogiz-
ing the devotion of Emperor William,
who has since conferred decorations on
the patriarchs.
Their majesties then proceeded to the
German Evangelical church, where the
pastor presented an address. AT 6
o'clock in the evening Saturday. re-
ception was held at the German con-
sulate, and later there was general
illumination of the city with a display
of fireworks.
Today the imperial pair attended
services at the Evangelical church in
Bethlehem, afterwards paying a visit
to the Church of the Nativity. The
weather today has been beautiful and
everywhere the greatest enthusiasm
has been displayed. After the excur
sion to Jericho Djevad Pasha, former
Grand vizier, recently Turkish governor
of Crete and now attached TO the per-
son Of Emperor William as a special
representative of the sultan, will leave
the imperial suite. 1t is rumored that
this is due to some unpleasantness.
Emperor William has sent his portrait
in brilliants to Tewfik Pasha, Turkish
ambassador to Germany, who was
among the high Ottoman dignitaries
that received the emperor and empress
in Constantinople.

RICH STRIKE IN WASHINGTON
FREE-MILLING ORE CARRYING
FIFTEEN OUNCES GOLD.
Sixteen Feet of Ledge With Phenom-
eral Average-Located On North
Half of Colvile Reservation.

Spokane, Wash. Oct. 3O.-The most mar
Vicious strike recorded in this state
was made today in the Republic mine, at
Republic, on the north half of the Colville
reservation. Free milling ore averaging
10 ounces of gold, or nearly $500 TO The ton
was encountered at a depth Of 400 feet
from the surface. The drills cut through
"A feet of ledge matter, the last 16 feet
averaging 10 ounces, and the farther wall
of the pay streak has not yet been en-
countered. The Republic mine tunnel is
in I45 feet, having been driven with a
view of ascertaining if values on the sur
face held with depth. The mine has al
ways showed rich ore, but this discovery
makes other mines near by almost certain
of encountering the ledge at great depth.
The ledge in the Republic seems to be Like
a wedge with the little end up.
The effect of the discovery was cleo
trical in Spokane. A party of mining
brokers have done a land-oftice business
all day, although it is Sunday and spec
ulators are supposed TO be at home. Quo
tations for stocks of mines in the vicinity
jumped from 10 to 80 cents share, and
100 90 shares of various companies chang
ed hands in the afternoon. The camp
was established about a year ago. Since
then the district has filed I'D with pros
pectors. but is far from being developed.
The stock of the Republic has until now
been quoted at 81.

ORDNANCE FOR MEN-OF- WAR
DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE
BEST TO BE OBTAINED.
Commander Pendleton to Proceed to
England and Inspect Methods
Pursued In Construction.

New York, Oct 31.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says that the
latest improvements in the manufac-
ture of ordnance may be obtained for
future American men-Of-war, orders
having been given to Commander E. c.
Pendleton, superintendent of the gun
factory, to proceed to England TO in
spect the methods pursued there in the
construction of guns, mounts, torpedo
tubes, etc.
Wire-wOund guns, which have been
so successfully developed for the Eng
lish navy. will be carefully examined
by the visiting officer, and as under
water discharge tubes for torpedoeS
have been adopted for the battleshipS
Maine, Missouri and Ohio, he will learn
the method of their manufacture at
the ordnance works Of Armstrong.
The department has purchased the
right to use the method of manufac-
ture of underwater discharge tubes
from the Armstrong; and has bought
the right to use the breach mechanism
of guns built by Vickers' Sons &
Maxim. The six-nch rapid-iring gun
built by the latter firm is one of the
latest weapons of that calibre con-
structed, a splendid record having been
made in firing trials which were held
some time ago. In this gun the powder
the six-inch rapid-firing guns of the
United States navy the she'll and pow
der are combined by means Of a car
riage case
A 6-inch gun on plans somewhat to
those followed in the construction or
the Vickers gun, was recently built
The tests of this weapon at the prov
ing grounds have demonstrated its
value, and all future 6-inch guns Will
be constructed on the same lines. The
new type is As caliber in length, and
weighs eight tons, and is designed for
a muzzle velocity of 5000 feet per Sec
ond.
1t IS the intention of the ordnance
bureau to equip no more protected or
unprotected cruisers with torpedo
tubes. the authorities being pretty well
convinced that there is no necessity
for them. Water discharged tubes will
be supplied to armOred cruisers and
battleshiDs.
Captain Charles O'NeIi's recommen-
dation that d uniform caliber - small
arms he adopted for the use Of the
army, navy and marine corps, has at
tracted considerable attention in army
and navy circles. 1t is expected Sec
rotary Long will endorse bill prOvid-
ing for cooperation on the part OF the
army and navy to obtain a uniform
arm. The caliber of the Lee small arms
n use N the navy is .26S. while that
of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle is 20. The
army is convinced that the KraS-JOr-
gensen rifle is best for its use, while
the navy asserts that the Lee is SUI
perior 1t is not believed that any great
objection would be raised by the navy
to increasing the caliber of ITS gun 10
80. so that cartridges manufactured for
the Lee might be used for the krag-
JorSensen.

pool. The only objection I have ever
heard is that the government cannot
be trusted. Certainly, there has been
nothing in the conduct of the interstate
commerce commission since its fornla-
ton which justifies such a charge. If
such a charge is true, then all govern
ment is failure where the greater re-
sponsibilities devolve upon it. The rail-
roads do not care how much the inter-
state commerce commission is strength
ened, If in its present form it is not
entirely satisfactory.
STRENGTHEN COMMISSION.
1.-The railroads are anxious that the
commission should be as strong and
judicial as possible. The nearer it ap-
proaches the absolutely independent
form of the supreme court of the
United States the better ii will suit the
railroads. Failing. however, in leglsla-
ton on the subject and surprising the
law remains as the supreme court has
decided against railroad pooling ana
agreements under present statutes, the
natural tendency of the railroads Will
be to follow the general trend of the
business of the country. This Will not
be a rapid process, but the tendency
will be sure. The weaker lines will be
unable to stand the strain of irregular
and wholly uncertain and unremuner-
alive compensation which follows They
will not be able to raise the money
which the stronger line can TO take ad-
vantage of every invention, every i'm
provement, every elimination of grade
crossing, every lowering of grade.
every taking out of curves. every sub
stitution of machinery and automatic
appliances which can cheaper the cost
of carrying. So they will be bank
rupted and ultimately absorbed by the
stronger lines, and the business of the
country will be in the hands of the lat
ter. This absorption and the conse-
quent formation of a few gigantic cor
porations to do the carrying business
of the country would threaten another
railway agitation, whether wise or not,
and a long period of general disturb
ance of business-that sort of disturb
ance which makes hard times, because
the business man has factors to deal
with in legislation and in uncertain
rates which make it impossible for the
wisest head TO forecast the future.
This decision will be a fortunate
document if congress is calm, broad
and will take up the question and so

and their investors and their employ
ees may be fully protected. that large
freedom for agreement may be granted
