DEFYING IOLA'SL LAWYERS
Count Esterhazy Declares He VIII
Not Speak TO Them.
Star Chamber Policy Of tbs rcaI
Continued BOisedeffre De-
clines TO Testify.

Paris, Feb 1S--The government has
decided to continueits policy of secresy
or only partial revelation i'm the Zola
trial This was evident from the first
words of Gen. Boisedeffre. commander
in-chief Of the army, when he took the
witness stand at the opening of the ses-
sion today. The President read the
testimony given by Gen. Pellieux yes
terday, and at the conclusion of the
reading Gen Boisdeffre said:
Il confirm his evidence, but 1 have
not another word to say. I haven't the
right TO speak further. Gentlemen of the
jury. you are the nation. If the nation
has not enough confidence in its chiefs
then they are ready to retire"
This utterance provoked an outburst of
applause and Boisdeffre retired.
Count EsterhaZy then took the stand
and without waiting for questions to be
put 10 him began an extraordinary har-
anglIe. He said:
Before | give evidence ! wish to ad-
dress the jury. Gentlemen, a miserable
creature Matthew Dreyfus, accused me
OF high treason I was acquitted by my
peers. Today again i am accused. and
I protest | cannot defend myself with
out a lawyer. 1 have been the victim
OF the most cowardly maneuYers. / will
answer the questions of the court, but /
will not speak to those men here" point
ing to the defendants lawyers.

CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE
Mr.. MaSOn's Resolution i'm the
Senate.
LIGHT on SPANISH TREACHERY
The Illinois senator Wants Joint
Committee of the Two Houses To
Make All Inquiry Which VIII
Bring Out All the Facts of the
Maine Disaster.

Senator Mason made a red-hot anti
Spanish speech in the Senate this after
noon when the Allen resolution, provid-
ing for a naval committee investigation
was called UP. Mr.. Mason amended it
by providing for joint committee of the
two Houses to make an immediate in
vestigation of the causes OF the acci-
dent to the Maine, and report 10 Con-
gress independent of the Navy Depart
ment.
The American people. Mr.. Mason said,
were sick and tired of this sort of thing
going on behind closed doors. 1t is not
possible to get any Information as To the
condition of affairs In cuba. The prom
ises of Spain would not end the war; the
action OF the United States up to this
point had not brought about any So
luton of the problem, and the destruc-
ton of the battleship Maine would not
end it, Sterner measures were required
and Mr.. Mason wanted to know
when this Government intended
Take such measures and close the bus'
mess of refusing to let American citi-
zens know what is going on in Cuba. The
star chamber investigation into the ac-
cident of the Maine would not. he said,
be permitted by the American people.
They were entitled to know what caus-
ed that accident and they would know it.
The people in Congress who wanted TO
go slow in this investigation were. Mr..
Mason said the very men who longer
and louder sung the praises of De LONE
as an honorable and distinguished diplo-
mat.
The reason the President gave for not
interfering was that time should be Civ
en- to the autonomy Spain had offered
and out of the mouth of her representa-
tive she had been convicted of being a
common liar and a thief. That preteNt
was over. and there was no reason why
the United States should not promptly
| interfere to stop that war.
In the further course of his speech
Mr.. Mason said he would not serve on
the investigating committee, for he
would not sit down to a table with
a Spaniard unless ne had an ironclad and
| a stiIlIetto between him and the Spaniard
For 100 years the Spaniards had bun
| coed the United States and Mr. Masor
| said he did not propose that il should gC
| further American divers should now b'
| in the hull of the Maine, and yet Con
| gress was told that the distinguished
/ court, appointed by telegraph might
reach Havana by next Monday. In the
meantime more Spanish dynamite an6
! torpedoes could be put under the hull t.
| destroy the evidence OF the crime.

Poor Mr.. sherman.

From the Hartford Times)
Nothing about this De LONE affair has
been more remarkable than the manner
in which the nonenity of the Secretary
of State has been advertised to the coun-
try. That high office is still nominally
filled by the venerable John Sherman, OF
Ohio but every telegram from Washing
ton in regard to our relations with Spain
ignores his existence 1t is always Judge
Day who is in conference with Mckin-
ley. Judge Day who Is calling on the
Spanish minister Judge Day who is
waiting to hear from Madrid etc The
only connection with the whole De LONE
business which the Hon. John Sherman
has had was to assure a newspaper cor
respondent on Thursday that De Lone
was 'such nice man. and could not
possibly have written the letter 10
Canalejas. At that very time Judge Day
was in possession of the original of the
letter and had received De Lome's con-
fession that he was the author of it.

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF the New Discovery in Medicine
for Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DIR. Wurth, i'm commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine, said: There is
Zone which is certain to be so valuable
and far-reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. the new stomach
remedy. | say far-reaching. because peo-
pIe little realize how important a sound
stomach and vigorous digestion is to
every man, woman and child.
indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Brights dis
ease. diabetes, nervous prostration, liver
troubles. Why is this so2 Simply be-
cause every nerve, muscle and tissue in
our bodies is created and nourished from
the food we eat. Ii that food is, by rea-
son of 6 weak stomach. compelled to lie
for hours. a sour, fermenting mass Of
half-digested food. ii poisons the
blood and the nervous system, creates
gas, which distends the stomach and
bowels. causing pressure on the heart,
lungs and other organs, and seriously
impeding their action"
He says. further "the point to direct
attention is not 10 the nerves, nor heart,
Tor lungs, nor kidneys. but the stomach
the first cause of all the mischief"
''The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic.
but remedy which will digest the food.
Increase the flow of gastric juice, absorb
the gases. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will accomplish exactly this result
in any case of stomach trouble, becausf
these tablets are composed of the d.
gestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden
Seal and bismuth. pleasant to TASTE and
not being a patent medicine, can be used
by anyone with perfect, safety. 1 believe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
form of Indigestion and stomach trouble,
except cancer of stomach

the shipbufders. probably as good an
authority on such a matter as any man
in the country, is positive that ''sponta-
neous combustion in the coal bunkers
is srot. " The word is his own.
Mr.. Cramp was at the Navy Depart
ment today. He had a conversation with
Mr.. Roosevelt and with several naval
officers i'm the department
To all Of these gentlemen he stated the
positive opinion that the spontaneous
combustion theory is out OF the question.
To Capt. Bronson. in answer to ques-
tion. he said:
Yes. but how do YOU account for spon-
taneouS combustion i'm an empty coal
bunker? There was almost no coal in
the bunker when the fire must have TAX
eu place according to Prof Ager What
there was was anthracite. Anthracite
coal never ignites by spontaneous COM
bUstion.
The Maine did not go to the bottom
of Havana harbor by accident
Mr.. Cramp also expressed the opinion
that the Fern should not be in the har-
hor If the Government cares anything
for the lives Of her crew and for the
tender herself

A CABINET SESSION.
Relief Expedition to the Klondike
DtSpU SSPd

The Cabinet was i'm session for an
hour and half this morning. Immed-
iately after the meeting Secretary Long
was asked if the Maine disaster had
been discussed. and he replied that the
meeting was devoted almost entirely TO
a consideration Of the relief expedition
10 the Kl0ndike.
other members Of the Cabinet intimat-
ed that the matter had been placed in
the hands Of Secretary Long and that his
actions would be upheld by the Admin
istration. As a reason for doing this il
was said that the Maine disaster apper-
tained TO Secretary Longs Department
only and that il would be the height OF
presumption for the rest Of the Cabinet
TO express any desire to interfere.
Ii was admitted by several Cabinet Of
fcers that a casual talk Of the disas-
ter had been indulged in. but there can
be no doubt that the Alaskan question
was used I'm order to blind the people Of
the country. and convey to them the i'm
precision that the Administration was
satisfied that the disaster was an 'ac-
cident."

has brought suit for divorce from his
wife on rather unique grounds. They
were married in 1851 and lived together
until 1895, when she left him. Her rea-
son for going was that she had loved
another before she married him, who
had died The longer she lived with
Richardson the more convinced she be-
came that one who had loved once
could not love again. and she left her
