THE PARIS RIOTS.

Commenting on the claim OK the stu
dents OF Paris and those associated with
them that their riotlng is "in favor OF
the honor OF the army" in that they
would sustain the government in respec>
OF the Dreyfus case, the New York Times
says:
The French people must have short
memories II they forget that two French
generals-one OF them q senator and one
eub-chief OF the general stan-were found
guilty In 1887 of traficking In decorations.
There is no presumption in favor of Gene
raj MERCER and General Billot, whom
Zola has openly accsued Of perjury and
challenged to bring him into court, which
was not eleven years ago equally strong
in favor Of General Cararel and General
Comte landau"
In view Of the fact that there was no
riotlng when these scandals became
known, the Times's point is well taken.
The fact is, II now seems, exceedingly
questionable whether Dreyfus is guilty
and that the reopening Of his case would
show up persons high I'm authority I'm
France in a very bad light. 1t was
therefore. found necessary. in order TO
prevent the demand for justice for the
disgraced officer from being further
pressed, that feeling should be stirred up
against the race TO which he belongs.
The Anarchists are in the disturbance
as the opponents OF the student class
and their allies. simply because the lat
ter combination processes to stand for
UNFOLDING the government, and not be-
cause they dhe Anarchists care anything
for Dreyfus or his race. The law-abiding
character OF the Jewish people the world
over is such as that they are about the
last element in any community that the
Anarchist would have any sympathy for.
The whole INDEPENDENTLY the leni-
ency with which the students and their
allies have been treated-is a disgrace to
the French Government, and suggests
that il is a pity the two rioting forces
could not be turned loose upon each other.

OPPOSED TO COLONIZATION.
chairman Jones Talks of the Newly
Acnuireu IsInnhs

Little Rock, Ark, July s1.-Senator
James X. Jones. chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, left Little Rock
tonight for Washington.
The senator preferred not 10 discuss too
freely the disposition OF Spanish 6epen-
denotes conquered by the United States
lhasmuch as the question is one that the
Senate will have to pass upon when
treaty Is presented, YET he is thoroughly
an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. He could not al
tempt to deny that he is opposed to what
the British and part of the American press
term an Imperial policy"
Il believe in the principle embodied in
the declaration of independence that gov
eminent must be by the consent of the
governed said the senator while il
may be true the inhabitants of the Span
lsh islands are practically savages and
incapable of self-Sovernment as a matter
OF sentiment l would not feel like seeing
them under the continued domination of
Spain.
But as to what disposition should be
made of the islands l am not prepared to
say"
Would you favor a protectorate?"
We want to maintain military gov
eminent We have set up till some treaty
is made" he replied
Then you see nothing to be gained by
the acquisition of foreign terrtory?"
Nothing to be gained and much to be
feared. There is no constitutional war
rant for the adoption of a colonial policy
by the United States, and it is utterly re
pugnant to our traditions. The right of
people to govern themselves is too firmly
engrafted in the hearts of American peo-
pie for us to embark upon policy of land
grabbing in violation of oft-enunciated
principles.
Nor can I see any particular boon to
American commerce in imperialism. Sen
timent does not control the purchases of
the world. The cheapest and best mar
kets gets the trade
BY the annexation of Hawaii. sugar
duties aggregate 100000 annually are
lost to us and the sugar reineries are
the only gamers.
There is no calculating the endless
complications the policy of Imperialism
would entail nor computing the enormous
expense of maintaining an immense army
and navy.
We are too well settled in our princi-
pies of government 10 attempt now so
radical and dangerous a departure as that
contemplated in the new policy"

The Advertiser from Opelka give the fol-
lowing account of a fight over politics
in Chambers county. this state:
THE little village of Cusseta. eleven
miles north of here, was the scene last
night OF a serious and very exciting tras-
ely.
Two prominent white men and four
negroes were shot and several others mar
rowly escaped a similar fate.
Your correspondent, as soon as possible
arrived on the scene of action and ascer-
tanned from eye witnesses the facts;
The political situation in that precinct
is az a high pitch of excitement and the
feeling is very bad.
Great determination characterizes the
followers of each party.
Last night it was understood that the
Populists would have negro rally meet
ing and speaking on Col. L. T. Penn $
place, near Cusseta and II. r. Mitchell,
the overseer OF the plantation, with about
a score OF negroes of his following, went
out to attend the meeting.
when the party arrived a the place
f,r~
named Gus Avery and his associates. The
weapons used were double-bawelel shot
guns. and Charlie Morgan, Tom Combs
and John Hill were shot.
Mitchell returned to Cusseta and pro-
cured warrants for the arrest of the
negroes who did the shooting
This was about o'clock this Sunday
morning and as the party surrounded the
house in which the offenders Were thought
to be concealed. the negro Popuhsts OPEN
ed from ambush without any warning
and seriously and painfully, though not
fatally, shot w w. Meadors and w. J..
Busby, both white men, and VIII Floyd,
a negro. Some others were shot through
their clothes, but not hurt.
THE spread of the news produced great
excitement and a negro uprising was
thought to be imminent.
Armed forces were telegraphed for to
Opehka, West FONT and Lafayette.
A company of about seventy-tive men,
armed with Winchester rifles. shotguns
and pistols, came from West Point on a
special train.
about fifty men similarly armed aud
/ equipped came from Lafayette, and some
1 thing more than that number went there
! from Opelika.
LAS the train from Opelika came up a
/ large company armed with guns and
/ rifles, in line was marching out to the
/ scene of action and cheering wildly, as if
/ they were about TO attack a Spanish forti-
/ fcation. 1t is not likely that anything
more serious will transpire but the cleo
/ ton takes place tomorrow and every hing
/ is at fever heat"

London Newspaper Correspondent
Talks of the Campaign.
New York, July 31-The United States
transport Alamo arrived at quarantine to-
day with twenty-six passengers from San
tiago.
The Alamo stopped at Hampton Roads
on the way North, but was ordered out TO
sea to bury one of her passengers who
had died. This man was George Patter-
son, a stevedore, who went to Santiago
from Galveston and was employed in dis
charging cargo from the transports.
Among the passengers on the Alamo
was steppings Wright correspondent of
the London Illustrated News.
Mr. Wright, in conversation, said: 1T
is not proper to speak Of hardships, ineffi-
cient commissary and hospital service, be-
cause this is war and all it implies. The
operation OF taking Santiago itself was
grand and brilliant. ] never saw the like
before Nothing could stand the rushes
of the American troops, SO fun of vim
and eager desire TO dislodge the enemy
But these men should be relieved as the
excitement IS over and reaction will set
in.
1.-The men will lose their stamina when
the malarial fevers spread"
Sergt e. w. Binkley of the signal
corps said he was stationed after the sur
render al the cable station to see that
no one damaged the wires. Al the time
of the assault of FL Caney he was located
at the front keeping the telephone SER
vice in order. The men on the firing line
were suffering for rations. but the refu-
gees who hocked into El Caney were sup
piled one day with 500 rations, the next
day with $1,000
These were promptly sent TO the
front" said he, but our boys who We're
in the trenches were compelled to go
without. 1 do not see why the troops
could not be supplied as promptly"
All of the passengers will be sent to
Hoffman Island and the steamer will be
disnfected and sent to her dock. Health
officer Doty said some of the men had
been Ill, apparently with malarial fever
but they were now convalescing.

CAMP THOMAS SURPRISED.
Men Puzzled By Gen. Wade's Cali TO
Washington.

Chickamauga National Park, July sl.-A
genuine surprise was sprung at Camp
Thomas this afternoon. Instead Of further
troops being ordered out as might be ex-
pected Maj Gen. James f. Wade, COM
manding the army at Camp Thomas, was
ordered 10 report forthwith TO the Secre-
tary of War at Washington In compll-
ance with the order Gen Wade and most
Of his staff proceeded Immediately to Chat
tanooga and left thence at 10 o'clock to-
night for Washington. There was no in
dcation at Camp Thomas until late this
evening of the purpose of the order, but It
was generally interpreted 10 mean some
thing like what the press reports from
Washington later outlined, and for this
reason the order aroused new hopes among
the troops, and especially among those OF
the Third Corps, who had come to think
they would not be called for in the war.
Gen. Wade and his staff viii reach WASH
ington some time tomorrow afternoon.
Brig. Gen. Royal T. Frank, United States
Volunteers, commanding the First Division
of the Third Corps, assumed command at
Camp Thomas this evening. He will re-
tain command until the return of Gen.

The percentage of sickness at Camp
Thomas, Notwithstanding there has been
rain for a week, continues very low. The
report Of MAJ c. NJ. Drake. surgeon in
charge of the First Division of the Third
Corps. issued this morning. shows that out
of the 1900 troops in the division there
are 228 sick in the hospital. This Is less
than ! $40 per cent.
1t appears that William Henderson OF
the Twelfth New York Volunteers is a
deserter, and 10 deceive the authorities he
reported his own death to the undertaken
and the newspaper reporters Col. Leon
ard states that there was no killing at the
rifle practice of his regiment Saturday
and that the man Henderson had not been
in camp for two weeks.
Private Lawson of the Second Arkansas,
