fession OF Mrs. Edna Gordon, queen of
confidence women" be not dlsproved-
and the police confirm lt-three men
who have lived in luxuriant homes in
this city are the princes OF all conf
dence men, chiefs of the boldest band
OF scoundrels that ever operated here.
Her story marks them as men who,
operating in n supposed petty branch
Of crime, have gained half n million
dollars since the beginning OF 1898.
Mrs. Gordon's motive In giving away
the doings of the confidence gang is
revenge, Last week she WAS eyicted
from her lodgings here. and she says
the members of the gang promised her
husband, Charles Gordon. who is now
serving term in prison at San QUEEN
tin, Cal, that they would take care OF
her. She says her husband IL serving
a term for a crime committed by an
other OF the gang simply because he
would not peach"
Mrs. Gordon, In her confession, says
she has been crook for seventeen years.
She tells how she began in Kansas
City and relates various swindles
From there she went to st. Louis and
from there to Chicago. where she says
she was exceptionally successful.

Browns Troubles Not Ended.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Trouble seems to
be In store for Rev. c. o. Brown and
despite the efforts being made by his
friends to retain him AS pastor, II In
probable that he will have to resign his
pulpit against the wishes of those who
back him or allow the Green street
congregation to disband.
The regular prayer meeting last night
was followed by a business meeting,
Trustee Hanson read a letter from tho
absent pastor. in which he said he had
telegraphed his resignation. a telegram
was also read from the absent pastor
asking that official action be postponed
until the regular meeting February 9Th.
This was vigorously opposed by some
OF the trustees, but It was finally de-
cided to defer action until next week.
The meeting broke up in some disorder
after a request for the reading of Mr..
Browns resignation was refused II
was predicted by several of the MEM
hers that there would be serious trou-
bile In the Green street church inside
OF q week. DIR. Brown is expected TO
arrive here next Sunday.

The Storm-SNept Territory

Savannah, Ga, September 3.-Two
more wrecks were reported today off
the entrance to Catalogue sound. Both
were dismasted schooners. There
were no signs of life on either vessel.
The coast is being patrolled in the
hope of rescuing the crews Of some of
the wrecked vessels, but except the
of the bark Noe none are known to
have been saved.
On the storm-swept section Of the
coast the loss of property is increas-
ing. The miles of water in the low
lands are being added to by the floods
in the river. and the waters every
where in the flooded district are rising.
The first train from the north in
three days reached here this afternoon,
bringing the mails that have been ac-
cumulating north of the overfiowed
territory. The Central Of Georgia rail-
road, the Georgia and Alabama and
the Florida Central and Pennsular
railroads are still blocked.
The Savannah and Ogeechee rivers
are rising rapidly and are likely to
cause heavy damage when the flood
reaches the low country.

The first edition of democratic State
Chairman Simmons political paper,
illustrated, OF $4,000 copies. has been
issued. going TO every township in the
state. Il has certainly had a telling
effect. Some OF the republicans and
populists whose pictures are not in the

ed, but Chairman Simmons will have
them all in the second edition. All

the German foreign Office assert that
the London reports of an offensive
and defensive alliance having been
concluded between Great Britain and
Germany are entirely without foun-
dation.

If an agreement between Great Brit

than France should hold Egypt, al

THE DREYFUS CASE
The Excitement in Paris on the In.
crease-The French Minister of War
II


Resigns.
Paris, September 3.-Cavaignac min
lister of war, has resigned. He sent
the following letter of resignation to
NJ Brisson, premier and president of
the council:
Il have the honor to send you and
to beg you to transmit TO the president
of the republic my resignation as min
lister for war. There exists disagree
ment between US, which, being pro-
longed would paralyiZe the government
at a time when it most needs full un-
ity of decision. / remain convinced
of the guilt of Dreyfus and as deter
mined as heretofore to combat a re-
vision of the case I do not intend TO
shirk the responsibilities of the pres
ent situation; but / cannot assume
them without being in accord with the
chief of the government to which l
have the honor to belong"
The Dreyfus agitation is not abat-
ing. The populace was again infiam-
ed today by posters, printed by The
plastered. They reproduce two letters
which Dreyfus wrote to the minister
for war in 1894, and one which he
wrote to his counsel, NJ. Demange, In
1894 protesting his innocence and de-
nying that he had ever even been
guilty of indiscretiOn. The posters al
so call attention to the fact that Col
onel Picquart wrote on July 9th affirm
ing the falsity Of lieutenant Colonel
Henry's documents and they denOunce
the arrest and Imprisonment Of Colo
mel Picquart.
These are the circumstances which
led NJ. Cavaignac to resign: After the
discovery of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry'S forgery the government
sought means to reaSSure the public.
The question of revision was broach-
ed Certain ministers believed the
time had come to throw full light on
and to establish every responsibility.
Mr. Cavaignac strongly objected.
He declared that he was convinced Of
the guilt of Dreyfus. M. Brisson
vainly endeavored to overcome his re-
sistance. Later, M. Sarrien pointed
out to M. Cavaignac that the revision
would be purely judicial. NJ. Cavaign-
&C replied that revision could only be
justified if some new fact were devel-
Oped to show there had been a judi
cial error and that no such facts ex-
listed, Henry's forgery being subse-
quent to the conduct of Dreyfus and
only indirectly connected with it.
NJ. Bourgeois, recalled from Switz-
erland, made a new effort, but M.
Cavaignac still refused. The latter
then saw M. Brisson, the premier, and
declared that his determination was
immovable, and that he would resign.
After M. Cavaignac's departure a
conference was held at the ministry
of the interior between MN. Brisson,
Bourgeois and Sarrien. About 9
o'clock M. Cavaignac's letter of res
ignation was received.
1t is said that majority of the cab
met accept the views of M. Brisson,
as the other ministers retain their
portfolios. The resignation Of M
Cavaignac enables the government to
decide the matter and it is believed
that M. Cavaignac successor at the
war office will soon be appointed and
a defnitive resolution taken.

WIFE OF A CHANCELLOR.

The recent death of the late Princess chancellor of Germany, has thrown some of the greatest families in Ger many, Russia and Austria into mourn ing and the demise of her excellency will leave great gap in Berlin society and be deeply felt in the Wilhem- straase, where she presided so grace fully and tactfully over her husbands s house.
 Not the least notable incident in the career of the diplomatic lady was her struggle with the late czar for the pos session of the enormously valuable estate in Russia inherited on the death of her father. For some years before his death the czar issued a decree that no foreigner would in future be per- mitted to hold landed property in Rus sia without naturalization and inheri- tanee; and on the princess Mary in- heriting the same his majesty severely insisted upon compliance with his con- dition under pain of confiscation. The matter was, indeed, so serious that it nearly caused an arrangement be- tween the two imperial courts, Emper- or William naturally siding with the wife of his trusted servant, who had so satisfactorily governed his two most difficult possessions, Alsace-Lorraine But the princess bravely took matters into her own hands and boldly went to St. Petersburg to plead her cause which she was able to do the better having been born in St. Petersburg, be- ing, in fact, a Russian and at one time one of the brightest stars of the impe- rial court. It Is said that she succeed ed in gaining the support of the czar- ina, to whom the czar could never say nay, and she pleaded her cause so well that she practically gained the day, re- turning home triumphantly. The late princess was at the time of her death within a month of reaching her roth irthday.-Chicago News.
