THE ANTI-EXPANSIONISTS
Resolution Opposing the Adop-
ton of q Colonial System.
FIRST NOTE is SOUNDED
European system Cannot Be Established
Under Our Constitution "A Brief
Discussion on an Amendment to
tho Navigation Laws

washington, Dec. 6.-The first note
OF the anti-expansionists was sounded
In the senate to-day by Senator Vest
of Missouri. who introduced the follow
sng joint resolution:
That under the constitution of the
United States no power is given to the
federal government TO acquire territory
30 be held and governed permanently
as colonies.
The colonial system of European ma
tions cannot be established under our
present constitution. but all territory
acquired by the government, except
such small amount as may be neces-
sary for coaling stations, correction of
boundaries and similar governmental
purposes must be acquired by the gov
eminent with the purpose Of Ultimate
~ organizing such territory into states
suitable for admission into the union
A brief discussion of the navigation
laws was precipitated by the consid-
Grafton of A bill amending those laws
by the adoption of a provision that for
efgn-built vessels wrecked i'm the Unit
ed States. purchased by citizens of this
country and repaired To the extent Il
three-fourths OF their value. shall he
subject to forfeiture IL they engage
subsequently in the coastNise trade Of
the United States.
Mr.. Vest. a member of the commit
tee on commerce. expressed his oppo-
sition to the bill. principally because IL
afforded protection TO the coastwise
trade. which needed no protection.
Under the. present system OF naNiga-
sion laws this trade had decreased from
20 per cent. to IL per cent. and this
( country Is now paying Sl50.OOO. 900 an
nually to foreign ship owners for car
rying trade that ought to be carried
in American bottoms. This condition
of affairs, Mr.. Vest declared. was a
scandal and disgrace" He said he
had been amused at the suggestion OF

ACCIDENT TO THE IOWA.
Large Volume of Water Gets
Into the Engine Room.

New York, Sept.5.-The Tribune says:
An accident has occurred on the battle
ship Iowa in dry dock No. at the
Brooklyn navy yard. 1t is reported
that the engine rooms of the Iowa have
been partly flooded by the entrance of
water through an open sea cock or
cocks as the ship was being foated. AS
near as could be learned the officials
got ready to float the Iowa in the dry
dock, where she has been for the last
three or four days and the valves in
the caisson at the end of the dry dock
were opened. The water poured in
through the valves and at least one Of
the sea cocks or injection valves in the
1owa's hull was either open or inse-
curely fastened, so that the force from
the outside pushed the cock valve back
and the water gushed into the hull of
the vessel.
AS soon as those on board the Iowa
discovered that water was entering the
ship signal was given to close the
caissOn valves and this was done with
as great prOmptness as possible Mean
while there was sufficient in the dock
to enter the engine room of the battle
ship, as it was impossible to promptly
force the cock shut, while the water
was going in. AS soon as possible the
cocks were closed and an examination
made Of the damage. Just what this
amounts to has not been learned.

NINE. DREYFES' LETTER
Addressed to the Minister of Justice
On Behalf of Her Husband.

New York, Sept. 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Following is the text of Nine Drey-
fus' demand to the minister of justice
for a revision of her husbands trial:
L had the honor in the month of
July to place before you a request in
which asked you to exercise the right
conferred upon you by law-and which
is conferred upon no one else-to trans
init to the court of Cessation for recon-
sideration the judgment rendered
against my unfortunate husband. in
violation of article los of the military
code.
Il have the honor, now, Monsieur lie
Ainistere, again to address you a second
time appealing to you, because the law
which governs such a revision does not
permit me directly and by my own
agency to invoke justice. You and you
alone, have the right to effect a re-
vision of a judgment, bringing with it
condemnation, on the ground of the dis
coverS of new facts, tending to estab-
lish the innocence of the condemned
man, quite distinctly and without refer
ence to or assistance from all the rev.
Citations of many months past, which
have thrown so much light upon the
judicial error of 1894, and which have
caused such profound emotion and ex-
element throughout the country.
1T is not possible that you, above
all others, should not be struck by the
following facts: First, there is the ex-
animation of the bordereaux which was
year. The result of this examination
was not communicated to my counsel,
the council of war refusing them access
to it, But 1 have certain information
that the conclusions drawn from this
examination We're not the same as at
the examination of 1894.
There is also, following this expos
ure, a confession made by one of the
principal accuserS and witnesses
against my husband in his trial in
which he admits that he forged a docu-
nent that the minister of war in his
speech to the chamber on July z, last,
declared to be proof positive of the
guilt of my husband, though it was
written long after his condemnation
This proof, therefore, crumb leS to
pieces and destroys the value of the
depositions which convinced the judges
in 1894 since this witness of the Gull
liability of my husband is convicted of
the crime of forgery under circum-
stances of which you are fully aware.
But, Monsieur lie Ministere, as l
have just told you, in the case Of re-
vision instituted by law for judicial
errors, the right to demand such re-
vision, belongs neither to the innocent
man who has been unjustly condemned,
nor to his wife, nor to his children, this
right belongs to you alone. l now,
therefore, Monsieur lie Ministere, be-
seech YOU to exercise without delay the
rights which are conferred upon you
by law which are only conferred upon
you, both for the annullment and re-

Foot Faults In Tsnnis.

H. S. Mahoney, the Irish champion ten
mis- player was asked recently what Re
thought of the new American lawn tennis
rule regarding foot faults He replied: q
am a strong advocate of the new rule. It
can do no harm, and certainly might do
some good. 1t would save the base line
from becoming blurred and would make
indiscriminate rushing in on the service
more difficult Do believe in continuing
my attention to one game onlyg Certainly
not. do not see why the taking up of
one form of sport should entail the aban-
doning of another. Unlimited practice is
not essential to success at any sport I
play golf and real tennis in the winter
and am very fond of shooting and fishing.
do not think that tennis is at all detri-
mental to lawn tennis if you do not mix
up the two games. Many of the principles
are the same, ana I had only imperfectly
gTasped them until took up tennis"
