after the game, but it was ours.

hardest, but their hits were generally

feature of the game. The score:

Gen. Chanoine's resignation was the
result of sy stematic terrorizing by mil

ing traitor to his order IN asserting TO
the proposal to refer the Dreyfus case

attitude of President Faure, who is
known to be unfriendly to Brisson and
is suspected of looking favOrably on
the schemes o the military party. The

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Acme

frame work connected with a system
of steel barrels. These barrels will
also be placed in the wreck and util
lied wherever they can be made avail

her to this country. If the government
wants the ship after she reaches the
United States, the company will want

in case the government did not want
