st. Louis, Sept. IA special to the
Post-Dispatch from Pana, Ills, just
received, says that 900 striking miners
this afternoon seized David ]. Over
holt and Lewis Overholt, president and
superintendent respectively of the
Springside mines. The two officials
were taken out of their buggy by the
mob and carried in the direction of
the mines Nothing is known of their
fate.
Rev. DR.. Willard. a minister of Pana,
made a plea to the miners to release
the Overholts and was knocked on the
head with a revolver for his pains.
The two officials were dragged from
their buggies in front of the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern depot. The seiz-
ure was made for the purpose of de-
manding the surrender of negro min
ers who had been working in union
mems places.
The miners were overtaken by the
state officials of the miners union and
halted. D. ]. and Lewis Overholt gave
the committee an order to send for a
committee of the negro miners. Sher-
iff Coburn refused and replied, de-
handing the release of the Overholts.
John Mitchell, national vice president
of the union, sent back a note saying
the Overholts were not in his keeping.
Pana, Ills, Sept. 1.-The Messrs.
Overhot were released at o'clock this
evening. The strikers are said to have
voted several times to hang the Over
hollis, but were prevented by their
leaders from committing violence. All
the saloons were closed tonight by
order of Mayor Wells.
A conference was held tonight be-
tween Secretary Ryan, Vice President
of the miners union and Da-
vid Ross and T. D. Kelligher of the
state labor bureau, and later they con-
ferred with Lewis Overholt, who agreed
to meet the committee tomorrow morn
ing and submit the concerns books,
looking toward a settlement Other
operators will meet with the state Of
ffcials. All is quiet tonight. Most of
the miners from other towns have re-
turned home.
DR.. Willard, the minister who inter-
fered on behalf of the Overholts, is
badly injured, but will recover

IOWA REPUBLICANS
Nominate State Ticket and Adopt a
Platform.

Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 1.-The Republic
can convention today was decidedly an
administrative body in all it's actions
and speeches. No other sentiment than
that of approval was to be heard any
where. Major Lacey, temporary chair
man. sounded the keynote, ana ii was
repeated with emphasis by Senator AL
lison in his speech as permanent
chairman. The senator was looked up
on as echoing the sentiments of PreSi-
dent Mckinley and the Washington
cabinet, and. believing that, the dele
gates gave their approval and endorse
ment of the policy of the administra-
ton.
There was some disappointment over
the failure to emphatically declare for
the holding and control of all conquered
territory, b't the delegates were thor
oughly convinced that what had been
done was practically the voice of the
national government, and so were con-
tented.
Major Lacey, temporary chairman.
was given an ovation. His speech was
well received and punctuated with ap-
plause. He said in part:
I'VE are Called upon, however, to
again discuss the old issues Of protec-
ton and sound money Notwithstanding
the developments which have deprived
these questions of much of their inter-
est by making them TOO obvious for ex-
tended discussion.
The war is over, but it has left liv-
ing questions for US to meet, and we
shall and will approach them with a
proper appreciation of their gravity
and importance.
I'VE will get out of Cuba when we
get out of Iowa, and not until then.
This we will do without bad faith to
any one. BY the time the people of
Cuba have begun to enjoy the comfort
of living under the protection of a ma
ton strong enough to give her that
which she has so longed for-freedom,
good government and peace-she will
ask US to stay. and the flag will re-

Paris, Sept. 1.-The Dreyfus case pre-
sents no new features, but there is a
plentiful supply OF rumors. The first
of these is that Dreyfus is dead, no
letter having been received from him
for some weeks.
Another report is that General Bois-
deffre, who has just resigned the post
of chief of the general staff, has COM
mitted suicide. Both these rumors are
without foundation. Colonel Patty du
Clam is on vacation trip in Switzer-
land and there is no confirmation of the
statement of La Patrie that he had
been arrested for completely in the
Henry forgery.
General Come. assistant chief of the
staff who rendered his resignation yes
terday to M. Cavaignac, minister for
war, has been persuaded to withdraw
ii, as his retirement under the age limit
will occur next month.
The lull in news, however, has in no
way diminished the popular excitement.

hits off the situation. 1t represents

Butte, Mont, Sept. 1.-Senator Ma
rion Butler of North Carolina, chair
man of the Populist national commit
tee, in an interview said he could not
consider a man a true, sincere silver
man unless he is in favor of co-epera-
ton. The cause of silver can never win
until we elected a silver president. 1t
will never be possible to elect silver
president except by a union Of ali the
silver forces, said the senator. There
is big fight going on among the Mon

men of Montana who oppose fusion are
hazarding the cause of silver for a few
political offices, and that it is, first of
all, the duty of the silver states to
show an example of unselfishness by
favoring cooperation.

his wife, left this afternoon for the

evidence failed to throw any light on
the case. No action was taken by the

GOVERNMENTS POSITION.

The governments position is most
unhappy. Notice of interpretations in
the chamber of deputies multiply.
President Faure is censured for leav-
ing Paris at such a critical moment.
Great efforts are being made to get
the signatures of a majority of the
deputies, which is a necessary prelim-
mary to convoeation of the cham
Der.
The movement in favor of revision
in the Dreyfus case is growing by leaps
and bounds. Considering recent events,
Major Count Esterhazy retains an
amazingly cool attitude. In the course
of an interview yesterday he expressed
establishment that Lieutenant Colonel
Henry was allowed to have a razor.

DEATH INSTANTANEOUS.


remains OF the late Colonel Henry
shows that his death was instantane-
Gus.
President Faure has returned to his
home at Havre this afternoon
Later in the day La Patrie announced
that Colonel Patty du Clam had been
arrested for completely in the Dreyfus
forgery.
The minister of war this afternoon
received in audience General Renouard,
director of the military college, who
has accepted the office of chief of the
general staff, vacant owing to the res
ignation Of General de Boisdeffre. The
latter bid farewell to the officials of his
bureau this morning.
Colonel Henry left letters addressed
to the minister for war and General
Boisdeffre, in which he protested that
he had not realized the gravity of the
act which he committed, solely for the
good of the cause
THIS MANS BLAME.
The tradition of the intelligence de-
partment, which at the time of the con-
demnation of Dreyfus was under a con-
spicuous anti-Semite, Colonel Sandherr,
would probably have led a blunt mind
like Colonel Henry's TO construe the
slightest hint from above of the desir-
ability of killing off the anti-Dreyfus
agitation into an order to do so by any
means.
Colonel Sandherr, who was then Suf-
fering from an incipient paralysis,
seems TO have been the head of a gen
eral conspiracy to hunt the Jewish Off
Ger out of the French army. DreyfuS,
a man of naughty demeanor, but of
vast strategic knowledge, would nat
urally be selected as a victim of these
Vaccinations.
HUNTED FOR FEAR.
It is asserted that Colonel Sandherr's
last days were haunted by a fear,
amounting to terror lest the Illegal and
flippant nature of the evidence upon
which Captain DreyfuS was condemned
should be revealed and weaken the
prestige of the intelligence department,
and that he enjoined upon Henry, his
subordinate, TO guard the departments
traditions at all costs.
The careleSSness of the authorities in
allowing Henry to have razor and in
not watching him is generally inter-
preted as connivance and, perhaps, as
persuasion, since officers under arrest
and likely to be condemned, should, ac-
cording to military regulations, be con-
Stantly watched, while Lieutenant Col
onel Henry was left hours alone and
allowed to lock the door on each side.
II there were persuasion, it is not likely
to have been difficult. Had Henry been
expelled from the army, both himself
and wife would have lost all pension
rights.
AS it is, the widow becomes entitled
TO a handsome pension. This seems
a more likely motive than the explana-
ton based upon the alleged incoherent
letter he left behind, stating that he
had lost his reason. Having died un-
condemned, his remains are entitled to
military honors, but his brother will
take the body to POUCH, near Chaions,
where it will be buried on Saturday
with the strictest privacy.
Several officers of the general staff,

q mo, SIR" the latter replies, about
> the Henry affair
Speculation is keenest over the mo-
tives of Colonel Henry's suicide. Look
ing to the view the whole nation has
adopted regarding the guilt of Dreyfus,
it is argued that Henry may have sup
posed he was acting in the country's
interests even in forging the letter,
which would satisfy the nation OF the
justice of the sentence with a produc-
ton of the real evidence, which would
be undesirable on the highest political
grounds In that case Henry might
have posed as a martyr to misguided
patriotism.
