WAITED FOR SUPT. HORN.
The Reason The Northern Pacific Train
Didn't Get i'm on Time.

Diun't Set III on
They had a humorous experience
Sunday night in running the first
Northern Pacific train through from
Anaconda east. The train went over
to that city in the morning and ii had
attached to it the private car of Super
intendent Horn. He returned to Butte
during the day without informing any
one of 1t. When S.15 came and it was
time for the train to leave Anaconda.
all the passengers were on board and
a large number of citizens were at the
depot to see the train leave. They
waited, however, and the train crew
waited for Superintendent Horn. Some
of the spectators finally got tired and
went home AT Butte there were others
who waited. Some people waited To go
East. but the train from Anaconda did
not show up and some of the people
went home and postponed their trip for
another day. Superintendent Horn
turned up at the depot intending to
take his car going East but he could
not find his train. so he inquired of the
dispatcher and the dispatcher informed
him that the train was waiting for him
at Anaconda. What the superintendent
said or what the dispatcher thought or
what the train crew at Anaconda said
when they got word to pull out as the
superintendent was in Butte, is not re-
lated, but it was $40 when the train
pulled out of Anaconda ana it arrived
in Butte in something less than an hour
later.

POWDER FOR BIG GUNS,
Uncle Sam Would be in a Bad Fix
in Case of War.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A special from
Washington says: Uncle Sam is short
of powder for his high-power guns
After his warships have all fired away
the powder they have on board, which
they would do in the course of ten
hours battle, there would be left in the
country barely enough to supply them
for thirty minutes combat. And it
would take the powder mills of the
United States, with their present fa-
cilities nearly year TO produce enough
powder to supply the ships for an
other ten hours battle
Such is the substance of a report to
Secretary Long by the Board of Ord
nance and F'ortifications. which has
recommended the building of a Gov
eminent powder factory by which the
cost of supplying this powder could be
greatly reduced.
Ordinary powder, it must be under
stood, will not do for high-power guns.
There is plenty of this and plenty of
fine blasting powder in the country,
but very little rifle cannon powder.
This last is made by only two factories
in the United States, one in Delaware
and one in California, both of them of
very limited capacity Hence the
chance of having in stock enough to
meet all possible demands until more
could be manufactured

SECRETARY ALGER.
Not Afflicted With Typhoid Fever,
as Has Been Reported.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Alarming
reports sent throughout the West rela-
tive to the condition of Secretary AL
ger have caused the issue of a formal
statement from Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, after consultation with
Captain Woods, the army surgeon, who
has been attending the Secretary dur
ing the illness which has now lasted
about q month.
1t is said he was attacked by the
grip, and this left in it's wake a low
type of fever, not typhoid, as has been
reported, which weakened the patient
considerably. The persistency of Secre-
tary Alger in keeping at his work, even
while confined to his room, undoubt-
eddy retarded his recovery very much,
but lie was finally induced to give over
the attempt to look after the depart
ment business until he is able to get
about again.
1t is said this morning the fever has
disappeared, and the Secretary is
stronger. He still remains in bed by
direction of DR.. Woods, but the physi-
clan SAYS that by the end of this week
or early next week Secretary Alger will
be able to leave Washington for some
point not yet selected, probably on the
sea shore, to convaletsce.

that meeting to General Billot, the Min
lister of War, and President Faure.
The Judge put a series OF easy ques-
tons to Major Esterhazy, to which the
latter evidently had already made an
swers. The Major ended by following
Major Ravarry's cue, and accused Col
onel Picquart of burglarizing his resi-
dence and stealing letters.
Matthew Dreyfus was then examined
He was asked to state the basis OF hls
accusations against Major Esterhazy,
and replied that, without being an eX-
pert, it was only necessary to compare
the writing in the Bordeaux and Major
Esterhazy's handwriting, in order to be
convinced that they were identical.
Continuing, Matthew Dreyfus made
learned graphological statement. More
over, he pointed to the fact of Major
Esterhazy having subsequently tried
to modify his handwriting as con-
firmation of his suspicious.
In reviewing other suspicious actions
of the Major, NJ Dreyfus quoted let
ter in which Esterhazy said: Il am in
such a plight that l can only recover
myself by crime"
This" said M. Dreyfus, dramatical-
|
the honor to wear the uniform of
French officer
Here obs were heard among the
audience.
Counsel for Major Esterhazy there
upon asked NJ. Dreyfus, who was pay
ing "the enormous costs of circulating
pamphlets respecting Major Esterha-
zy?'' to which NJ. Dreyfus replied:
| .ty-1. 81
This remark caused excitement
among those present, and brought
forth shouts of miserable
NJ Scheurer- Kestner, one of the
Vice Presidents of the Senate, was ex-
amined. He said that when he was
condemned he believed Dreyfus guilty,
and continued in that belief until Ma
thieu Dreyfus came and implored his
aid. The Senator then made person
al inquiry. because it must be admit
, ted that both military and civil trlbu-
nails may make mistakes"
A house owner of AuteuH testified
that the mistress of Esterhazy asked
him to cancel lease, signed by Es-
terhazy, as the latter had said he was
dishonored, intended to commit suicide
and feared that the police would seal
up his chamber.
At this point Major Esterhazy denied
having uttered the words attributed 10
him, and Nine. Pays, his mistress, made
similar denial.
The question of letter affecting the
Major then arose This missive, which
was addressed TO a friend named Welt,
found it's way into the possession OF
friends Of Dreyfus. Welt denied that
he gave it to the friends Of the con-
Wet Major EsterhaZy in vehement
outburst said:
"Of all the infamies of which | am
the victim, Weit's treason gives the
most pain ] rendered him services OF
which ! will not state the nature here.
/ am not a coward and traitor.
The Majors remarks brought forth
cheers from the audience.
Picquart was the next witness, ana
the court, after a elaboration, decided
to take his testimony behind closed
doors
The court was then closed.
This decision to conceal the evidence
Of the most important witness OF the
trial caused much dissatisfaction.

APPOINTMENT OF SENATOR.
Holds Only Until the Legislature
Elects or Adjourns.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Senators
who have examined the precedents say
that the appointment of a Senator by
the Governor, as in the case of Sena-
tor Hanna, holds until the Legislature
elects or adjourns.
Congress having provided by law
that a Legislature cannot elect until
after 1t has been in session two weeks,
could provide for a vacancy If the
appointee of the Governor held only
until the Legislature met. In the past
Senators appointed by the Governor
have held their offices until the Legis-
latures have chosen their successors.
In one case a. Senator held throughout
an entire deadlock in the Legislature,
and tried to retain his seat when the
Legislature adjourned, but after the
matter was discussed in the Senate, the
seat was declared vacant on the adj
journment of the Legislature.

The Court Decides to Hold the
Trial in Public Until Publicity
Should Prejudice the National

Should be Held Behind Closed
Doors-Major Esterhazy on the
Witness Stand.

PARIS, Jan. 10.-The trial by court
martial of Major Count Ferdinand Wal
ter Esterhazy, the retired officer of the
French army, who came into promi-
hence in the latter part of November
through the publication by Figaro"
Of a number of letters which the Count
is alleged to have admitted writing, re-
fiecting in strong language on France
and the French army, was opened this
morning under the Presidency of Gen
eral De LuXer-
Among those who filled the hall were
Nine. Dreyfus, wife of Albert Dreyfus,
former Captain of the French artillery,
now undergoing imprisonment for life,
after having been convicted of selling
important French military plans TO
agents of a foreign power, which af-
fair Esterhazy is said to have been con-
nected with; the brother of Nine. Drey-
fus, Senator Traireaux, the former Min
lister of Justice, and many officers and
deputies.
Count EsterhaZy appeared in uniform,
and was escorted by Republican guards.
The clerk of the court said the court
martial was held in order to end the
contradictory rumorS which had been
spread by the excited public. There
upon Marie la Borie, counsel for Nine.
Dreyfus, asked permission to take part
in the argument. The counsel for Ma
thieu Dreyfus also asked to appear
during the proceedings.
The court rejected both applications,
and the taking of testimony COM
menced.
Counsel for the Government said that
a public trial might be inimical to the
interests OF the national defense. and
demanded a secret hearing.
The court decided by a majority of
FIVE to two that the trial should be
public until the moment when publici-
ty might appear to prejudice the ma
tional defense.
The court having thus yielded to
public opinion, the report of the inves-
tigating officer Major Ravarry, was
read 1t completely whitewashed
Count Esterhazy, and was generally
regarded as being a serious indictment
of Colonel Picquart, whose arrest when
this trial is finished is anticipated.
