organization OF Tue RepuOllca0 state
central committee. Wichita Eagle.
In some quarters a persistent
effort has been made to convince
the public that the late Republican
convention had sat Down on Cy
Leland. The fact is that Cy Leland
controlled every movement of that
convention and in the event of the
success of the ticket will be more
firmly entrenched in Kansas politics
than ever before. Leland was
ostensibly for Hood for governor.
He knew better than to openly
champion the candidate of his
choice. His open advocacy of
Hood put a complete handicap on
the Hood movement; this fact was
so recorded in the press dispatches
before balloting began. Having de-
feated Hood and elected Stanley he
effected the organization of the state
central committee by stress. Mort
Albaugh, the chairman, is as much
a Leland lackey as Andy Richards;
he is exactly the same type Of a man
and politician as Andy Richards.
Albaugh was SANKEY'S choice-be.
cause Leland had chosen him
privately beforehand.
Some of the candidates and some
Of the committee wanted another
man than Frank Brown for
secretary, but Leland planted his
pedal extremity and said "No;"
Frank Brown must be secretary Of
this committee" and all objection
was supinely withdrawn. He was
put in nomination by W. ]. Bailey,
candidate for congrsssman-at-large,
who is Leland's special represents.
tive on the ticket, and he was
unanimously recommended by the
candidates. The same man, Bailey,
chose Leland as a member of the ex.
ecutive committee.
When it came to the selection OF
a treasurer the matter was laid over

PANAMA, via Galveston, Oct 3d.
The Herald's correspondent at Man
aqua cables that President Zelaya, in
his message to Congress, called in ex-
traordinary session, presents clearly
the Nicaragua view of the situation,
shared alike by Government and peo-
pie. In substance he said:
I shall give you an account of the
promise of the contract for the open
ing of an inter-oceanic canal through
our isthmus, granted to Messrs Cragin
and Eyre, representing a syndicate of
American capitalists. The Govern
ment has formed a clear and well-de-
fined opinion that the Cardenas Memo
cal contract of March, 1887, has been
forfeited for non-fulfillment of its most
essential claims and for the abandon
ment Of work for nine consecutive
years.
1.-The promise made to Messrs. Cragin
and Eyre is based on the security of
the reputation and standing of the par
ties we are dealing with and on the de-
post of $780, 900 in gold.
ut is true the contract of 1887 prom
Uses the canalization of Tipitapa River,
between Lakes Managua and Nicaragua.
but Messrs. Cragin and Eyre offer
something more positive in the line of
inter oceanic transportation from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, that will be
completed three years after the new
company is organized.

FISHERIES QUESTION
A HARD NUT TO CRACK
British, Canadian and American
Commissioners About to Re-
sumo Their LaborS.

NEW YORK, Oct 30-The Herald's
washington correspondent says: Ne
gotiations for the settlement of all pend
ing questions between the United States,
Great Britain and Canada will be re-
sumed on Tuesday, when the inter-
national commission having the matter in
charge will reassemble here.
The work of the commission was dis
cussed on Thursday last by Secretary
Hay and Sir Julian Pauncefote, when the
British ambassador called at the state
Department. 1t is the expectation of both
officials that the commission will finally
determine all questions before them dur
ing the coming session, and it is hoped
that they will have completed their labors
and drawn up treaty for presentation
to their respective governments before
the Christmas holidays.
The Boring Sea seal question will be
one of the first to be disposed of. 1t is
the understanding of officials that this
question will be settled by the purchase
by this Government of the vessels and
outfits of Canadian sealers, provided that
pelagic sealing is thereafter prohibited.
The British Commissioners estimated the
expense of such action would aggregate
$3.50, 900, but it is expected a proposition
will be made that this Government pur-
chase the vessels and outfits of the
Canadians for about $500 900.
1 am told that the Alaskan boundary
question is in a satisfactory state of ne
hard nut to crack, the British and
Canadians having demanded concessions
which are not acceptable to the American
Commissioners.

SECRET DOSSIER WOULD
CONVICT GEN. MERCER

LONDON. Oct 3d-The Paris CORE
spondent Of the Times, pointing out
that serious dilemma has now de-
veloped in the reyfus affair, says:
IF the secret dossier is now COM
municated to the Court Of Cessation, it
is conceivable that it may incriminate
Dreyfus. but VIII certainly convict
General MERCER, the Minister of War
at the time Of conviction of Dreyfus. of
a criminal violation of law in communi-
eating to the courtmartial documents
that were not communicated to Drey
fus and his counsel.
''It 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 has never been
= secret dossier, the whole case rests
on the bordereau and must fall to the
ground. How. then, since Lieutenant
Colonel Henry's admission Of forgery,
could the general still have declared
Dreyfus' guilt?
The allegation that the dossier, if
there be one, contains letter from
Emperor William to Colonel Scwar-
koppen German military attache in
Paris is utterly improbable. In view of
the Emperor's character and habits he
would never have written to military
attache."

COURT OF CESSATION LASHED
FRENCH GENERALS THE PREY
OF DESIGNING FoRGERs.
Dreyfus Decision Seems to Have De-
layed a Solution of the
French Cabinet
Crisis.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-Nowhere is there
any sign of agitation to-day The city
is quiet. The anti-Semite papers vainly
endeavor, by abusing the Judges of the
Court Of Cessation, to lash the public
into hostile demonstration, but the
people seem rather inclined to resent
the culpability or imbecility OF the high
officers of the general staff who al
lowed themselves TO become the prey
of unscrupulous forgers.
This refers especially to the officers
deputed to investigate the Dreyfus
affair
1t is believed even now that impor-
tant facts are being 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 an
nounces that Comte EsterhaZy has been
deprived of his membership in the Lee
gion of Honor.
The Dreyfus decision seems to have
delayed 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.

Royal Party.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

JERUSALEM, Oct. 30-The approach
of their German imperial Majesties to
the city yesterday was made through
triumphal arches and amid banners,
garlands and ever growing crowds. who
displayed in every way their enthusi-
asm and delight.
The formal entry through the Jaffa
Gate was heralded by the roar Of guns
at the citadel, where the Turkish band
played the German anthem.
From the Tower of David Emperor
William and Empress Augusta Vic
toria proceeded on foot, amid wild
cheering, to the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, where they were received by
the Catholic, Greek and Armenian
clergy, whose patriarchs presented ad-
dresses eulogizing the devotion Of En-
peror 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 o'clock in the evening (Satur-
day) q reception was held at the Ger
man Consulate and later there was a
general illumination of the city with
display of fireworks.
To-day the imperial pair attended
service at the Evangelical Church in
Bethlehem, afterward paying a visit to
the Church of the Nativity. The
weather to-day has been beautiful and
everywhere the greatest enthusiasm
has been displayed.
After the excursion to Jericho, Djevad
Pasha, former Grand Vizier, recently
Turkish Governor of Crete, and now at
tached to the person of Emperor VIII
liam as a special representative of the
Sultan, will leave the imperial suite. 1t
is rumored that this is due to some I'M
pleasantneSS.
Emperor William has sent his por-
trait in brilliants to Tewfik Pasha,

les that received the Emperor and En-

TWO CONSTRUCTIONS ON
BLANCO'S RECENT ORDER
Refusal to Discharge Spanish Troops
in Cuba May Be a Pretext
for Delay.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The Herald
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
Two constructions are put upon the re-
cent order of General Blanco that Span
fsh troops in Cuba shall not be dis
charged. but shall first go to Spain and
receive their pay.
This cancels the previous order of Oc-
tober 4, saying such Spaniards as desired
could remain in Cuba. Should the troops
choose to return under this latter order
to Spain. it would give the Spaniards
pretext for asking longer time for the
evacuation, which may be their desire.
On the other hand, it is urged by a high
War Department official that the cause
of this order may have been the inability
of Blanco to pay them and the hope,
therefore, that they would desert and
thereby relieve the Spanish Government
lar troops in Cuba. now much scattered,
number about 85,775.

THREATS OF LYNCHlNG
MADE AT SANTA YNEZ
Citizens Enraged by the Crimes of an
Indian Incendiary, Who Con-
fesses His Guilt.

LOS OLIvOS. Oct. 3O.-The house and
barn of T. T. McMurray in Santa Agueda
Canyon, three miles east of Santa Ynez.
were burned last Sunday while the owner
was away from home. Indications led to
the suspicion that incendiarism covered
a robbery. Later in the week McMurray
found a San Jacota Indian, Jose Ger
bantez riding in his cart, which had been
missing since the fire. He got out a
search warrant and found a wagon-load
of stolen goods in the Cerbantez house.
The Indian was brought before Justice
Lyons at Ballard and pleaded guilty to
charges of robbery and incendiarism.
He was bound over to appear before Su-
perior Judge Day.
There were threats of a lynching at
Santa Ynez last night. The town has ex-
perienced several such fires in the past
three wears.

PRESIDENT HOPEFUL
OF EARLY SETTLEMENT
Believes the Paris Negotiations Will
Soon Be Brought to Con-
clusion

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3o.-An informal
session of the Cabinet was held to-day.
The President embraced the opportunity
afforded by the presence of several mem
bers of the Cabinet to discuss with them
the Forthcoming annual reports. The
members of the Cabinet present were
Secretaries Alger, Long, Bliss and Will
son and Postmaster General Smith, As
sistant Secretary of the Navy Allen. Ad-
jutant General Corbin and Surgeon Cen
during a part of the evening.
The peace negotiations at Paris were
referred to, but were not seriously con-
sidered, 1t is understood. This statement
is borne out by the fact that Secretary
of State Hay was not party to the
conference. It is authoritatively' stated
that none of the developments in the
Paris situation have arrived here to-day.
The President is said to believe that the
negotiations will be brought to a salts
factory conclusion sooner, perhaps, than
is generally expected.

COURT OF CESSATION
MAY SUMMON DREYEUS

PARIS, Oct. 30.-By Saturdays de-
cision the Court of Cessation obtains
the most absolute control over the
Dreyfus case. 1t can demand and ex-
anime any documents whatever, in
Guiding the dossier, of any case bearing
upon the Dreyfus matter, and can ex-
anime, under oath, any witness, how
ever high his position.
In short, if the court makes a sin
cere use Of its powers the truth will
have a much better chance of being
discovered than would have been the
case had it merely ordered revision be-
fore another. courtmartial, whose mem
bers might have been actuated by a de-
sire to shield the general staff.
Having concluded it's inquiry it can
present a new dOssier TO either civil
or a military court for the final de-
cision. Its proceedings will not be
public and there can, therefore, be no
objection to an examination of the al
legged secret dOssier, If this is still in
existence, while the numerous generals
who have expressed their belief in the
guilt of Dreyfus viii now be called on
TO explain the grounds of their convic-
lions.
Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered, the court can or
der him brought to France at any mo-
ment, and will probably do so at an
early stage of the inquiry.
The court refrained from ordering his
release on Saturday because it would
have been an assumption of his limo
cence.

TERRITORIAL RIGHTS
Delegates From Principal Towns of

Special cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Cor

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico Oct. 30.-Dele-
gates from the chief towns of the island
met this afternoon in the principal
theater to consider and draft recon-
mendations regarding the necessities of
the island for special commissioners, who
will be selected later, to represent Porto
Rico at Washington.
The meeting received with enthusiasm
resolutions demanding territorial rights,
cessation of present military rule and in
stallation of regular civil government.
Other resolutions were adopted asking an
eight-hour day for the laboring man and
severely denouncing the present corrupt
system of registering deeds of land.
It was obvious that the delegates pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that the
United States would grant territorial
rights to Porto Rico.

PREcAUT1oN AGAINST R1or1NG
Bull Fight and Ball Game Stopped at

Special cable to The Call and the New York

HAVANA, Cuba. Oct. 30.-A bull fight
and baseball game advertised for to-day
were vetoed by the Civil Governor, the
former owing to alleged fraudulent means
used in advertising it and the latter be-
cause a license to play was not obtained.
These are the official reasons given, but
the real reason was probably to pre-
vent trouble with soldiers and the fear of
q riot
