At French GUIANA, They

cal Position.
London, September PA special dis
patch from Paris says the deputy rep
%resenting French Guiana in the cham
Der has received a dispatch %announc-
ing that a mutiny has taken place
among the convicts at Cayenne, the
capital of French Guiana. The mutt
neers, it appears, overpoWered and
murdered their guards, then stormed
the military storehouse and seized the
arms and ammunition there. They
are now, according to the dispatch,
besieging the principal prison and it is
feared that they may succeed in free
ing the 1000 convicts confined in the
building.
Reinforcements have been telegraph
ed for to the island of Martinique, but
it is said they will not arrive in time
to suppress the mutiny. Devils island,
where Albert Dreyfus, the former
captain in the French artillery, is con-
fined under sentence for having sold
secrets of the war office to a foreign
government, is but a short distance
from Cayenne. 1t is possible that the
revolt of the convictS may be the death
knell of the prisoner whose cOndemna-
ton has so stirred up the French ma
ton, for his guards are under strict
orders to kill him if any attempt is
made to release him or if there is any
possibility of his escaping.

AbdicateS in Favor of
DOwager Empress.
RUMORS OF HIS DEATH
His Abdication Really Deposition by
h Dowager Empress-The Emperor
Only n Figure-Ifead. Allowed to
Reign So Long as His Conduct
Pleased In Dowager-His Reform
Movements Di>plea>ed Her The
Change In Russia.s Favor.

Shanghai, September GA local ru-
NOR is current here to the effect that
the emperor of China is dead. No de-
tails are o~btainable. but it is said the
gates Of Pekin are closed.
Pekin, September Pan imperial
edict just issued definitely announces
that the emperor OF China has re-
signed his power TO the empress dow
ager empress) who has ordered the
ministers to deliver to her, in future,
their official reports.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably cause the change.
While the emperor vas s~ubservient and
a mere figurehead, the dowager en-
press permitted him to remain in peace,
but as soon as he attempted to act on
his own initiative his practical deposit
ton was the result. His principal ad-
visor, Hang Yumoi, the Cantonese re-
former, fed, in spite of the vigorous
attempts made TO arrest him, and it is
SdIu Ie 10 llON OIl HIS way " Shanghai.
The effect of the change must be
great. In all probability Ii Hung
Chang Will be reinstated in power and
Russian influence will increase. The
hopes of reform SO ardently cherished
by the intelligent factions of the Chi
nese are now impossible of fulfillment.
The suddenness of the coup is said
to be due to the desire of the dOWager
empress to prevent the mission Of the
Marquis Ito from being successful. The
japanese statesman recently came to
Pekin with the object of trying to
bring about an alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Japan and China.
The new order Of things Will I'M
dOubtedly prejudice British interests
in China.
1t is reported today hat the next
edict will give the full reasons for the
change. The wording of the present
edict is not yet o~btainable, but it is in
effect that the emperor requested the
dOWager empress to assume power.
this being the third time the request
has been made.
The marquis Ito in an interview be-
fore the edict was issued, said the en-
peror received him yesterday in the
most cordial n said he hoped
to AVE the advantage of the advice
of the marquis in the reforms which
his majesty intended to undertake.. The
marquis, even then, feared that the in
action and conservatism of the Chinese
officials would nullify the reforms, al
though he believed the emperor was
acting in good faith.

The French Minister Of War orders
the Prosecution Of Colonel Ffquart.
The Colonel Causes a sensation I'm


Court.
Paris. September 2L.-The papers
here say the minister of a General
Chanolne, has examined the documents
in the Dreyfus case and has ordered
the prosecution OF former Colonel Pic
quart, on the charge of forgery and
using forged documents.
The trial OF Colonel Picquart and
NJ. Leblois. a lawyer. on the charge OF
revealing documents concerning the
national defense, was TO have begun
today before the correctional tribunal.
The public prosecutor, however. asked
for an adjournment on the ground that
the prosecution OF Colonel Picquart on
the charge OF forgery and Using forged
documents had been ordered by the
minister of war. NJ. Labori. who was
counsel for NJ. lola during the latter's
famous trial, Indignantly opposed the
adjournment. which. he said. was an
attempt to hand over Colonel Picquart
into the clutches of the military au-
thorities.
Colonel Picquart then rose and made
a statement which caused a sensation.
He said:
This is, perhaps. the last time l
shall speak in public. | shall sleep,
perhaps, in the military prison of
Cherche Midi. Therefore, i wish to
declare that if / find there the strang-
ling chord of Lemercier Picard. or the
razor of Colonel Henry, it will be muir
der. for | have no idea of committing
suicide"
The audience was intensely moved
and shouted: "Vive Picquart.'
The judges, however, after a short
elaboration, decided to indefinitely
adjourn the case and Colonel Picquart
was led away between policemen.
Lemercier Picard, the man referred
to by Colonel Picquart. was a detective,
understood to have been employed in
the Dreyfus affair who was found
hanged in his lodgings about a year
ago, under circumstances which cast
some doubt upon the theory put for
ward that he committed suicide.

is the easiest way to dispose Of him.
Wherefore we would like to see real
live Republican like White running for
the honor.
But White is evidently too shrewd to
do any running after such will-o-the-
wisp as another Republican United
States Senatorship from this State.
White is all right on sure thing and is
among the first 20 crowd up to the
trough when his party wins, but in of
years and when nothing is in sight but
defeat for his party White naturally
isn't very active in politics, political
preferment becomes very sour grapes
and-well, in fact, as he states now in
his newspaper he isn't candidate for
anything, not even for the United States
Senate.
Indeed, this authenticated patriots
candidacy for this office is an excellent
barometer of political conditions in the
G. O. p. and his positive denial that he
is not a candidate, which at another
time might be but bit of customary
modest stage-play, may be taken as an
indication that Republican hopes are at
a very low ebb, indeed.

A SALVATION ARMY EXPERIMENT..

its methods. although the organization
has, we believe, always been devoted to
doing good in the humblest way and
not in the abstract, but along the most
practical lines
The Army is now inauguratlng an
experiment the result of which will be
awaited with interest throughout the
country. Northern Ohio is TO
be the scene of the trial. A
tract of land has been secur-

where it Is proposed to colonize poor
people from the city. The tract will be
sold in sections of a few acres each 10
these people, who will be given ample
time to pay for the land from their
labor upon il. The experiment is pure

the Army. which does not expect to
realize any material profit from it. 1t
is contemplated to help the poor in the
truest way in which they can be helped
in giving them a chance to help them
