FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN ARMY.
AIger Says No One VIII he Punished
For Charges Against Department.

WASHINGTON, oct. H. - Secretary
Alger was asked last night If it was the
purpose of the war department to take
any official action concerning the state
ments made by Major Seaman, surgeon
Of the First volunteer engineers.
Not at ALL" replied the secretary;
mot at all. I want it to be understood
distinctly that any officer or man in the
army may speak freely and unreserved-
ly concerning his observations of the
war without the slightest fear Of possi-
BILE consequences. While am secretary
of war no man shall be the sufferer for
speaking what he believes to be the
truth Above all, the witnesses who ap-
pear before the war investigation COM
mission shall be protected 10 the fullest
extent. The commission and the coun-
try want the facts, and no obstacles
shall be placed in the way of getting
them. We are all interested in having
the clearest light thrown upon the con-
duct of the war, and the standing or
promotion of no enlisted man or COM
missioned officer shall be affected in the
slightest way by any testimony or other
assistance he may give the commission.
We mean to keep absolute faith with
the commission and with the witnesses
cannot be more explicit than that"

LONDON, oct. 17.-The Pel1ing corre-

Ching, president Of the tsung-ii-yamen,
has informed Sir Claude Macdonald Of
ncially that the health of the emperor
Is improving. He declares that the en-

reforms, but only to such violent and
impracticable reforms as were hastily
decreed. Her majesty will proceed on

The Berlin correspondent of The

"The emperor of China was to have
taken refuge at the British embassy in

a proclamation declaring the acts of the
dowager empress void, but the plan
was discovered and frustrated"
The PelSing correspondent Of The

The Plot Against Emperor william

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE Alexandria
correspondent of The Daily Mail, tele-
graphing regarding the anarchist plot
against Emperor William. which was
discovered on Friday, says: The plot
against the kaiser is hourly proved
more important each arrest disclosing
new ramifications. The documents
found disclose a plot to kill King Hum
bert already well matured. Fifteen per-
sons, all Italians, have been arrested.
The original plan was to throw a bomb
of gun cotton and illuminate of mercury
on Emperor Williams carriage in a
narrow street of Cairo. When the Egyp-
tian trip was abandoned, elaborate ar
rangements were made by the conspira-
tors to send confederates TO Jerusalem

An Effective Naval Demonstration
May Bring Spain to Terms.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-While firm
" believing that Spain will in the end
submit to the demands of the United
states rather than re-engage in hostili-
ties, the authorities propose to be in
position where they can make an effec-
tive demonstration should such action
be needed.
The session Of the peace commission
today is expected to be one of the most
important yet held, for the American
representatives are under instructions
to make the Spanish representatives
plainly aware that their government
has sued for peace and must pay the
price of such suit. 1t is admitted by
administration officials that for the
sake of public opinion and to give the
Spanish people and the world the i'm
preston that they are acting under
duress the Spanish commissioners may
resist the demands of the United States
until naval demonstration is neces-
sary. In such an event all Of the ar
morclads viii be available.
The wisdom of the administration in
delaying the departure of the battle
ships Oregon and Iowa and of directing
them to participate in the celebration al
Rio Janeiro in honor of the anniversary
of the establishment of the republic OF
Brazil is beginning to be appreciated
These vessels. under the plan Of the

FAMILY MADE MERRY.

Suicide of Chicago LabOrer De-
lights HIS Wife and Daughters.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-F'ritz Benfel,
Danish laborer, shot and killed himself
today Immediately after firing two bull
let's into Mrs Minnie Youngberger, and
fatally wOunding her two-year- r-old son,
Emil, whom she was holding in her
arms. Benfiel, who was of an ugly
and quarrelsom disposition, threatened
last night to kill his wife and five chill
dren and Mrs. Benf1el caused his ar
rest today. He accused Mrs. Young
berger, neighbor, of being party to
his arrest, and when she denied 1t, he
drew a revolver and opened fire. The
first bullet struck Mrs. Youngberger In
the side, the second lodged in the little
boys shoulder, and the third in Mrs
Youngberger's hip. The boy died with
in an hour; the mother will recover
Benfiel then sent bullet through his
own brain, dying instantly.
His death, instead Of being a grief
to his family, was an unqualified joy
Within an hour after the shooting Mrs
Benfiel was holding an impromptu re-
ception, and acknowledging congratu-
lations of the neighbors, who called by
the dozens. Minnie Benfiel, the eldest
daughter, remarked:
I'm glad Of it. He should have done
1t long ago."

BALTIMOREANS ALARMED.
Do Not Relish Probable Loss of d.
& o. Headquarters.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE state
ment that the control Of the Baltimore
&, Ohio railroad system Is about to
pass out Of the hands of those who
for so long a time have been identified
with it, and the consequent inference
that Baltimore would probably cease to
be the headquarters Of the company,
caused a profound sensation here to-
day, but nothing definite can be learned
as to details, and the probable effect
upon the future of the road Neither
OF the receivers have as yet returned
from Chicago, and other officials of the
road are reticent.
MesSrS. Alexander Shaw, Frank G..
HambletOn and other members of the
committee instructed by the Baltimore
stockholders to undertake the reOr-
ganization of the system, profess to
know nothing whatever concerning the
reported deal, and that aside from the
Garrett holdings, the transfer of which
was reported several weeks ago, 1t is
not known that large blocks of stocks
have been parted with by Baltimoreans.
President Gilman, of John Hopkins
university, which institution is the
largest holder Of preferred stock of
the company, said today that he was
not prepared to say, until further ad-
Vised, as to the probable effect of the
deal upon the suits now pending in the
United States courts to define the sta
tus of those securities
j. H. Maddy, the press agent Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railway, tonight
said that the statement made in Gin
natl today by E. H. Bacon, president
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern, is semi official, and added that no
further statement would be issued at
present. Receivers Cowen and Murray
are not expected to reach Baltimore
before Monday.
II feel assured of one thing, and that
is no change is contemplated in the
present management Of the Baltimore
and Ohio SYSTEM" said a gentleman,
whose relations with the management
are Of the closest character. Il have
known for some time that q deal OF
this kind was in progress, and while
some of the features that were reached
today are new to me, I feel perfectly
safe in saying that in the end it will
be found to be simply an agreement
for the interchange of business between
the roads which are parties to it. Not
a pooling arrangement, but something
closer and more intimate than that, in
the nature, for instance, Of the rela-
tions now existing between the Balti-
more and Ohio, Jersey Central and the
Reading systems. It may be possible
that company may be formed to con-
troll the whole of the proposed new
system, and that Mr.. Hill may become
president of the parent or controlling
company, but 1 am sure that no deal
has been or will be arranged by the
parties interested in the contemplated
consolidation, which involves the re-
moval Of either Messrs. Cowen or Muir
ray, or their associates, from such
control Of the Baltimore and Ohio. as
they now have and have had in the
past"

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 17.-Dur-
ing his stay in Milwaukee to attend
the annual meeting of the directors Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company, Philip D. Armour
practically confirmed the reports that
he, in company with J. J. Hill, Mar
shall Field and Norman B. Ream. had
secured a controlling interest in the
Baltimore & Ohio railway. When seen
this evening, Mr.. Armour said:
Il dislike to say anything on this
matter now; it is very delicate, as you
must understand. There Is, however,
some foundation for the report sent
out from Chicago yesterday"
How about the reference made to
the Chicago Great Western and the
Wisconsin Central as uniting roads
between the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Great Northern?" he was asked.
Positively no consideration has been
given to either road yet. I cannot say
what will occur In the future, but no
deal is on at present concerning these
companies"
Shall you be made director?"
"No, no. Mr.. Armour returned. "T
don't expect that either Mr.. Field or
I will be placed on the board. Mr.. Hill
will be made member of the executive
board. Further than this I can say

figures for changing grades and in
creasing the capacity and facilities Of
that system from Parkersburg, on the
Ohio river, to Cincinnati, Louisville,
st. Louis and other points. It seems
certain that the Southwestern system
is to receive great improvements under
the plans of reorganization, and that
the old owners and officials are promin-
emily identified with the new organiza-
tion that has secured the property, but
it does not sem possible to ascertain
whether J. ]. Hill and others are to
be such factors in the future opera
ton of the lines as has been indicated
by the recent advices from Chicago.
MIR. BACON AFFIIRAIS.
President Bacon, of the Baltimore &
Southwestern Railway company, who
has been engaged for some time with
the New York committee, Speyer &
Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., bankers,
and the receivers, in assisting in the
readjustment of the affairs of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad company, was
interviewed before the arrival of. the
Chicago party.
He was reluctant to discuss the mat
ter, but after being advised that it
had been published in Chicago, New
York and this city, he said a number
of representative men interested with
large railway, manufacturing and COM
mercial interests in the Northwest,
Chicago, New York and other cities on
the cOmpany's line, had been, for some
time, negotiating for the purchase of a
very substantial interest in the Balti-
more & Ohio road, and that such ne
gotiations had been brought TO a sue
cessful conclusion. That under the re-
organization ample means had been
provided for cutting down grades, in
creasing capacity and facilities of the
road, and putting it In a condition to
promptly and economically handle
largely increased business. That the
reorganization managers had also de-
cided that the subsidiary lines, includ-
ing the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern, should be likewise treated, and
arrangements were now being con-
cluded to readjust the affairs of such
lines and secure capital to put them in
the same condition as the main line

DREYFUS CASE CRISIS
GEN. ZURLINDEN TENDERS HIS
RESIGNATION AS WAR
MINISTER
POSITIVE OF DREYFUS' GUILT
Gen. ChanOine Appointed to Succeed
Gen ZurIinden-M. TiIIaye, Min
lister for Public Works, Leaves
the Cabinet and Is Succeeded by
In Paris FavOrs Dreyfus.

PARIS, Sept. 17.-Gen. Zurlinden
minister for war, resigned, and Senator
Tilleye, minister for public works, fol-
lowed Their action is due to a decision
of the cabinet, at meeting held today,
to submit the documents in the Dreyfus
case to a committee to be selected by
the minister of justice, M. Sarrien.
The council met at the Elysee palace
at $3.50 a. m., President Faure presiding.
According to a semi official note, the
minister of Justice said that after hav-
ing examined the papers he felt unable
to decide upon the question Of the pro-
posed revision of the Dreyfus case un-
til he had taken the opinion of special
commission of the ministry Of justice.
The cabinet thereupon authorized the
minister to summon a committee for
the purpose.
AS he was leaving the Elysee palace,
after the cabinet meeting, a large
crowd of people cheered the premier,
NJ. Brisson, with cries Of ''Vive la Re-
vision," apparently showing that pop
ular feeling was changing in favor Of a
reopening of the Dreyfus case.
THINKS DREYFUS GUILTY.
Gen. Zurlinden has sent his written
resignation to Premier Brisson, as fol-
lows:
II have the honor to beg you to re-
ceive my resignation as minister for
war. An exhaustive study of the pa
pers in the Dreyfus case has convinced
me too fully Of his guilt for me to ac-
cept as the head of the army any 9TH
er solution than that of the mainte-
nance of the judgment in it's entirety"
Later in the day another cabinet
council was held, at which Gen. Cha
nOine, commander of the First divis-
ion of the First army corps depart
ment Of the North and the Pas-de-Ca-
lais), was appointed minister for war,
in succession to Gen. Zurlinden, and
Senator Godin, representing French In
dia, was appointed minister Of public
works, succeeding M. Tillaye. The lat
ter, in transmitting his letter of reslg-
nation, is apparently bidding for popu
lar favor. He wrote:
'"The council having decided to ap-
point a commission to consider the re-
quest for a revision of the trial of the
convict, Dreyfus, 1 am unable to ac
cept any share in the responsibility
for that step, which, in my opinion,
involves a revision Of the case
The committee summoned by M. Sar-
rien to decide upon the question of the
proposed revision will begin to con-
slider the matter on Wednesday next.
