.FAUR[ IN D|CTkTOR'5 ROLE.
A Rumor that the Army viii Give
the President Full Power.
ON BRINK OF GRAVE CRISIS,
The Military Chiefs, the Story Is, Would
Support a Dictator Who Would Hide
Their Corruption by Refusing Re-
trial For Captain Dreyfus.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
the New York World from Paris says:
France is upon the brink of the gravest
crisis since the birth of the third re-
public.
The situation is briefly this: Pre-
mier Rrisson and all the other mem
bers of the cabinet, with the exception
of Zurlinden, minister of war, and
possibly Lockroy, are convinced of the
absolute necessity of revision in the
Dreyfus case in the interest alike of
Justice and of the state. General Bru-
gere has signifed his willingness to
take the port folio of war and accept
revision.
At Saturdays meeting of the cabi-
net decision will be taken and 1t IS
certain that revision will be decreed.
President Faure has been a determined d
opponent of revision, and has caused
it TO be rumored that he will resign II
it is granted. No one believes that he
will resign but every one sees that the
threat to do so is desperate expedi-
ent to get rid at one blow OF Brlssons
cabinet and, it is fondly hoped, of re-
vision.
Faures unconstitutional action in
directly interfering with the response
| bility of the cabinet affords an exam
pie of lawlessness in high places which
is the first step toward revolution
He is accused of aiming at a dictator
ship, and if he succeeds in destroying
the Brisson cabinet it will be the ac1
of dictator.
The Dreyfus agitation can now be
suppressed only by the exercise OF ar
bitrary power. President Faure has
made himself the champion OF the
army and it's tainted chiefs, who will
do anything to avoid the exposure tina
revision would entail, and they ar
ready to place that arbitrary power II
his hands. A military coup detat Ii
therefore freely conjectured to-nlgh
as the probable outcome of the crlsl
should President Faure's effort to bull
doze the Brisson cabinet fail

FROM THE FIELD.

The Dawes Commission for the past
month have been busily engaged in the
making of the enrolment of the freed
men of the Creek nation, and last week
completed their labor by winding up
the work at Wenoka. This week they
are in the Chickasaw nation and will
remain there for several weeks making
the enrolment of the freedmen of that
nation. The completion of the rolls in
this nation will virtually settle forever
the rights of negro claimants to partic-
ipate in the distribution of the lands
and moneys of this nation, as the roll
which is now completed is intended to
be the final action of the commission.
All negroes who claimed enrollments as
Creek freedmen have been required to
show that either the claimants or their
ancestors were on the dunn roll Of 1867
which was the first roll made Of the
Creek freedmen and contained 1,774
names, while the present roll will con-
tain between 200 and 5000 names and
| will mean that about one-third of the
lands and moneies of the Creek Indians
are to be given the negroes who were
either slaves of the Creek Indians, de-
scendants of such slaves or resided IN
the Creek nation at the close of the
civil war. Each man, woman and child
on this roll of freedmen of the Creek
nation will have between 200 and 25C
acres of land and several hundred dol
lars in money. This, in my Judgment
will place the freedmen of the CrceE
nation as a community probably in bet
ter circumstances than any other neg
roes in the United States. In addition
to an equal share of the lands ant
moneys of the Creek nation, the freed
men have had and will continue to en-
ioy the benefits of the free schools o
the nation. These schools consist o.
two orphan homes, one for the CreeA
Indians and the other for the Creek
freedmen, eight mission schools and ;
large number of neighborhood schools
all Of which are supported by the Cree
nation at cost of over $780, 900 yeal

Prospective War.
NV YORK, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Valparaiso
says: THE boundary dispute between
Chilli and Argentina seems likely to
develop into great South American
conflagration. 1t is believed as
foundation, that Bolivia has signed
secret treaty with Argentina to make
common cause against Chill. In case
of war, however, Peru, [ am informed
would checkmate Bolivia, leaving Ar
gentina to the care of Chilli. This at
titude of Peru is said to be due to the
fact that Chilli has Topped off 10000
uOo from the ransom of the provinces
returned by the protocol
Chill is now completing her naval
and military preparations for a hostile
climax to the negotiations with Ar
gentina."
