here for women exclusively, with the sole
end of deciding for once and all the ques-

wheel. The contest came off last Sunday.
There were some fifty female competitors,
all in different costumes. and the umpires
had to decide which were the best
dressed for the occasion. AS the umpires,
in their majority, were of the male per-
suasion, it is, perhaps, needless to men

1t ought to be mentioned, too, that the
American bicycle, despite it's higher price,
is gaining more and more popularity in
Germany, even in the face of the desper-

spring and summer something like a crisis

of the best noted German firms had to re-

of a demand for their goods. That has
been, for instance, the case with the Cor

to shut down entirely or else wind up
their business.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 25.-The state

There was a long delay while the plat
form committee was preparing its re-
port and the delegates put in the time
listening to patriotic speeches.
The platform, which was adopted
unanimously, reafirms adherence to the
national platform adopted in St. Louis
in 1896, and extends the thanks of the
Republican party to the sailors and
soldiers of the army and navy. Samp-
son, Schley, Hobson, Wheeler and Law
ton are complimented and express
tribute is paid to the navy. California
senators and representatives of con-
gresS are pledged to vote and work for
the building of an adequate navy and
insist that part thereof be constructed
on the Pacific coast. A glowing tribute
is paid to President Mckinley and the
people of the United States are con-
graduated that the broad American
policy of the president has dissipated all
sectional issues. Belief in the financial
plank of the Republican platform of
1896 is reaff1rmed and the administra-
ton is urged to secure an international
monetary agreement whenever an OPP
pOrtunity to do SO shall be presented.
President Mckinley is commended for
his refusal to consider any proposition
looking to the assumption of the Span
ish-Cuban debt. The declared policy of
the president to accord to the people of
Cuba an opportunity to form a stable

The platform demands that congress

Father and Son Undergo Horrible
Torture From Hunger.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 25.-News has
just reached here of the terrible ex-
periences of a father and son who were
is days without food on the Stickeen
river. A man named Jorgensen, aged
so years. and his son, 10 years old, of
Seattle, started up the Stickeen on a
prospecting trip, taking with them two
years provisions. Their boat was cap
sized and they lost all their food and
their entire outfit. They started across
the country toward the coast and for 16
days they tramped. They ate grass,
toads, beetles, were chased by wolves
and when at last they reached the coast
and were picked up, they were mere
skeletons.
One wore but a vest to cover his ma
kedness, and the other but a leg and a

REVISION FOR DREYFUs.

Text of the Decision of the Court of
 Cessation.
 Paris, Oct. 30-The text of the decis- ion of the court of cessation rendered Saturday, in which a revision is allow ed and a supplemental inquiry provided in the Dreyfus case, is as follows:
 ''In view of the letter of the minister of justice, dated September 20, 1898; in view of the arguments of the public prosecutor denouncing to the court the condemnation pronounced by the first court-martial of the military govern ment of Paris on December 22, 1894, against Alfred Dreyfus, then a captain of artillery attached to the general staff; in view of all the documents in the case, and also of Articles 443 to 446 of the code of criminal procedure, amended by the law of June 10, 1895, relative to the admissibility of an ap- plication in proper form for revision;
 Whereas, The matter has been brought before the court by the public prosecutor, in virtue of the express or der of the minister of justice;
 Whereas, The application comes within the category of the cases con- templated Tn Article 443, and has been introduced within the period fixed by Article 444.
 Whereas, The judgment, a revision of which Is demanded, has the force of a chose jugee;
 Whereas, The documents produced do not place the court in a position to deside all the merits of the case, and there is ground for making supple mentary inquiry;
 For these reasons the court declares the application to be in proper form and legally admissible, and states that it will institute a supplementary in- quiry, and declares there is no ground at the present moment for deciding or the public prosecutors application for 3 suspension of the penalty

FAMOUS TAXATION CASE.
A Brief History of the Notable Legal
 EnnNeat

Contest,
 The appeal of Yale University in the tax suit was argued in the supreme court of errors at Bridgeport Wednes- day, and the final decision will be giv- en in a few months, The follow is the history of the now famous suit from the beginning:
 On September 2S, 1897, the board of assessors announced that tax of $9,- S9510 had been placed on the property of the university, The total assess ment was placed at $4S9,7S2,
 The university immediately appealed from the decision of the assessors and the question went before a committee of the superior court. From the supe- rlor court the case was transmitted, by Judge Roraback, of the superior court, to the supreme court of Connecticut, and on Tuesday, October 18th, the case was argued at Bridgeport.
 The reasons set out in Yale's appeal were substantially that w. w. Farnam, the treasurer of the university, re- turned list of the taxable property of the university, according to law, which list amounted to $65.1 and that af- terWard the assessors raised said list to $366,14S, thereby assessing property which was not in act or in law lia- ble to taxation, but was exempt there from" It was also alleged that the assessors failed and omitted to file in the office of the town clerk, prior to December 20, 1897, list of the taxable property in the town of New Haven, received and made by them, or an ab- stract thereof, persuant to the statute in such cases made and provided. MT. Charles E. Perkins of Hartford, Conn, was appointed committee to find the facts for the supreme court. | His report reviewed, at length, the original relations of the state of Con- necticut to Yale college and went on | to say that the university is still founding, endowing and administering an institution of learning where all | persons are at moderate 1 cost. to the number of about twenty five hundred every year, instructed in f the arts and sciences" He showed i that as early as 1747 students were | forced to room outside of college build | ings, that the charges for students were reasonable, and that the charges for l dormitOry rooms are, as a rule, less than is charged for outside rooms. 1 One of the most important facts that he brought out was that last year the expenses of the university exceeded the income by $23, ,233, and also that the net returns of the dormitories were coun- 1 terbalanced by the $55,000 given yearly to needy students.
 The case as presented yesterday was substantially narrowed down to the sin gle and simple question whether White, Berkeley and Pierson Halls are exclu- sively occupied as college buildings or are used for literary and scientific so- ciety.
 The college lawyers were Bristol | Stoddard & Bristol of this city; Cor poration Counsel Ely acted in behalf of the city.
