CRAZED BY DREYFUS CASE,
Artist Driven to Suicide by the Ex.
citement That Has Attended
the Whole Affair

PARIS, March 3.--The Dreyfus case
has had fresh victim, an artist,
whose head has been literally turned
by the excitement, and who Jumped
out of high window under the delu-
sion that he was Maj. Esterhazy, and
that the police were coming to arrest
him. f
Ever since the beginning of the Zola
trial this hapless individual made him
self conspicuous by the extreme vio-
lence with which he discussed the pro-
ceedings at the assizes He never
tired Of defending Maj. Esterhazy.
Upon one occasion he narrowly escaped
arrest for creating disturbance in
the street.
AS Zola's trial neared it's conclusion
the artist grew worse, and finally he
identified himself with the troubles of
Maj. Esterhazy so, that he came to
confuse his own identity with his
hero's. He thought he was Maj. Es-
terhazy and everybody about him
was conspiring to bring about his
downfall.

Representative Johnson's speech in
the house on Washington's birthday
has created great impression. In the
present complicated situation it Is i'm
possible to tell how the house would
now vote on the question Of Hawaiian
annexation. assuming that the speaker
allowed the issue to come before the
house. as he could not well avoid do
ing. Many conservative Representatives
are very uncertain, and while polling
of the house would perhaps not today
show many men who are willing to
declare their intention of voting against
the administration programme, there
is no telling what influence may be-
come operative when the subject ac-
tually reaches the front. 1t might not
prove a difficult task to defeat it, but,
on the other hand, the chances are
naturally in it's favor, since the Re
publicans have a majority of nearly
fifty in the house, and this is distinct
ly a party measure. Not few Demo-
Gratis, moreover, are avowedly in it's

belonging to the locomotive had been
thrown into the furnace.
These facts gave rise to a suspicion
which later resulted in the swearing
out Of warrant for the arrest Of Pat

engine. charging larceny and malicious
mischief. The chief of police of South
st. Paul and several officers were in
this city yesterday looking for Kane.
The allegation is made that Kane

divers will. of course, report the re-
suit Of their observations to the Span
ish court of inquiry, but when or

Senator Proctor has seen much in a
short time, and there is good author
ity for saying that he will make the
results Of his observations known in a
strong speech in the senate on his re-
turn to Washington.
At MatanZas, Miss Barton and Sen

United States Consul Bryce and Mr..
Govas, the British vice consul, saw eX-

in one ward while the party were
there.
Senator Proctor was reticent on the
subject, but others Of the party de-
clared that the whole east Of the island
was under the control of Gen. Maxine
Gomez
Senator Proctor, however, went so far
as to say: Certainly a peculiar state

Organized in Wisconsin,.

In few days the Coast Lumber COM
pany, Of this city, will begin business,
and then will be launched what may
develop into a gigantic enterprise in
the West. The company was recently
incorporated in Wisconsin, and is COM
posed Of the leading lum mbermen of that
state and Minnesota. It's present capi-
tai is 100000, but if the business proves
as successful as is anticipated, it will,
If deemed judicious, be increased
The leading spirit in the concern Is
Frederick WeyerhaeuSer, of ST. Paul,
with whom are associated Thomas Ir-
vine, also of this city; w. H. Laird, Of
Winona, and c. H. Ingram, o. H. In

Wis. The officers of the company are:
President-Thomas Irvine.
Vice. President and Observation-Disclosures
Weyerhaeuser.
Secretary-W. I. Ewart
Assistant Secretary-H. G.. Foster
1t is the purpose of the new company
ito handle all the lumber products of
the Pacific coast. That means a mo-
nopoly of the lumber business in Wash
ington, Oregon and California.
The woods principally handled will be
cedar, fir and spruce, and the company
expects to ship 10000 car loads a year
to points as far East as Boston. Its
business will be confined to the North
ern states, for yellow pine and cypress
are used in the South.
The company has no mills vet. but
will use the products of mills already
in operation. These will probably pass
into the company's possession as the
business increases. The company does
not at present contemplate extending
its field to Alaska.
The company's headquarters are in
the National German-American Bank
building; branch offices will be estab-
lished at Tacoma, Chicago and Buffalo.

March 3-A naval officer here today,
IN reply to suggestion that 1t was a
pity that such an important decision
as the verdict of the court of inquiry
into the Maine explosion should rest
solely upon the testimony Of divers,
who seemed men Of only average In

'"The court Of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone.'
Then, realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve
1t is believed that the testimony of
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
was highly important as bearing upon
the question Of the existence Of sub

COAL COMBINE INDICTED.
Members of the Alleged California
Trust Brought to Book by the
Grand JurX.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3-This
afternoon the federal grand jury re-
turned a true bill against the eight
wholesale and the 100 retail coal deal
ers who are members of the "coal COM
bine" recently dissolved by United
States, Judge Morrow. They are
charged with violation of the anti
trust act, which violation is made by
statute a criminal offense.
The specific charge against the deal
ers is that they assisted in restraint
of interstate commerce to regulate the
price of coal in Oregon, Washington
and other states. Judge Morrow, in
the United States circuit court when
issuing a temporary injunction against
the association, decided that there was
reasonable ground for the contention
that it was an unlawful combination.

rigging. After being there for two
hours, the sea subsided. Then they
got the dingey loose, baled her out with
