DREYFUS CASE.
Minister Of Justice Sarrien OPP
posed a Revision.

PARIS, Sept 27.-The discussion at
yesterdays Cabinet meeting was prac-
tically confined to the Premier and the
Minister of Justice, Nm. Brisson and
Sarrien.
Replying to the latters objections to
a revision of the Dreyfus case, based
on the negative character of the COM
missions report and the vote of the
Chamber of Deputies, affirming re-
spect for a chose juge Ca case already
passed upon by the COURTS, NJ. BrisSon
pointed out that the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry's confession of forgery
changed the whole aspect of the case
He concluded:
IF your scruples arise from personal
considerations; if you do not deem
yourself sufficiently armed to under
take without hesitation all your re-
sponsibilty you need not leave us. You
can remain without having to sign the
letter referring the case to the Court
of Cessation. Take the portfolio of the
Interior. 1 will take that of Justice.
and thus all the responsibility will de-
volve upon me-"
M. Sarrien yielded to this appeal
At, a Cabinet council held to-day at
which NJ. Faure, President of France
presided, the Minister Of Justice COM
municated to those present the letter
he had addressed to the Court of Cas-
sation, in which he submitted its de-
olson for a revision of the Dreyfus
case.
The Minister also read a circular
which he had caused to be sent to the
public prosecutors through the country,
instructing them to energetically re-
press any attacks upon the army.

SOME WHO STRUCK 1T RICH.
The Danube Brings Down Many
Miners and Some Gold Dust.

VICTORIA B. c., Sept. 27.--The
steamer Danube arrived to-day from
ST. Michael, Alaska. with 1856 passen-
gers from the Klondike, and gold dust,
estimated by the purser, at a quarter
of a million. The gold was by no means
equally divided 1t all belonged to a
favored few The names Of the lucky
ones are Major Morgan, William Bate
man. r. Sinclair, J. Jones, James Win
ters, j. Erickson, c. w. Simms, c. w.
Still, r. Hanna, F. Gierson, j. S. Lusk
and j. NJ Sloan.
All the Danube'S passengers came
down the Yukon on the steamer Gu-
koner, which has since been sold to Pat
Calvin, the we'll known Klondika mill
lionaire Captain Tackaberry, Purser
Price and all the officers and creT of
the Yukoner were passengers to Vic
toria on the Danube.
Price reports that on the way down
the river the Yukoner passed seventy
six river steamers, small and large,
bound for Dawson. Four We're ashore,
and the Yukoner spent some time un-
successfully endeavoring to draw them
from the sand bars. Three Of the YES
sells aground We're the Clara, the Ty-
rell, both of Vancouver, and the ]. p.
Light, one Of the Moran steamers.
Three other larger vessels were seen
ashore near the Yukon's mouth, the
Robert Kerr, the Power and the Mar
guerite. The river was still naviga5le
when the Danube sailed, but was low
in places.
The Danube left st. Michael Septem-
Der 14th, and Dutch Harbor on the
18th. At Dutch Harbor the schooner
Ocean Belle was seen,. and from her
it was learned that the sealing vessel
ordered home under seizure was the
schooner Otto.

ALAMEDA'S TAX RATE.
An Increase of Three Cents on the
Already Heavy Levy.

OAKLAND, Sept. 2.-Through the
demands of County Superintendent of
Schools Garlick, there has been an in
crease of three cents in the already
heavy county tax levy, making a total
for outside districts of S1.53. This
makes a total increase over last years
levy of 20 cents.
This last raise was effected through
the use of a State law, regulating the
manner in which the county school tax
levy shall be fixed. 1t has never be-
fore been invoked.
The increase was made by Auditor
Whidden, who was compelled to obey
the mandatory provisions Of the Po-
litical Code. Mr.. Garlick notified the

$4,000, and Manager Schnell says 1t
will take it all to repair the loss. 9th
ers say this is too much probably, and
that $4,000 will cover it. The build
ing was owned byIa stock company,
and was erected in 1887. The total
cost, including the beautiful grounds,
was 100000.
The chief insurance companies Whlch
lose are the Mechanics of Milwaukee.
Lancashire of Manchester, England;
Home Of New York, Phoenix of Hart
ford, Conn; Royal Exchange and
Queen.
Porter Brothers were fully insured
among several companies, so no one
loses any great sum.
Fortunately only about sixty-i1ve
guests We're in the hotel. While there
was great excitement and some loss CT
personal property, all escaped safely
Fireman McDermott leaves widow
and three young children. He was

Fortunately there was no wind last

the heat would carry the burning Shin

caught up and carried south Us mucn

out when they fell. Everything, too,
was wet from the rain.
Later-The rumor that another fire

to be without foundation.

there was a unanimous expression IN
favor of rebuilding, the work to be

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-General
Francis V. Greene, who was made a
Major General of Volunteers for dis
tinguiShed services in the invasion of
the Philippines, accompanied by his
personal staff, and the delegates from
the Philippine insurgents, arrived here
this afternoon and went to the Airing
ton Hotel.
General Greene and staff called at
the Adjutant Generals office this after
noon and were escorted to the White
House by General Corbin.
The Philippine delegates are desirous
of comforting with the President, and
the question: Of their reception was un-
der consideration at the State Depart
ment this afternoon. There is no doubt
but that the President will grant an
audience in their personal capacities
The delegates We're the center of
much interest at the hotel. Mr. Lopez
said that no instructions had yet been
received from the Philippine Govern
ment, but these We're expected very
soon, as a guide to the future move
ments of the delegates
When Mr.. Lopez was asked as to the
reports that the Filipinos were solicit
ing help from European Governments
he declared that such reports were ut
terly unfounded and unjust They were
acting in the most perfect good faith
with the American authorities AS an
evidence Of this he citeu the fact that
the German Consular officer on the ISL
and had requested conference with
Aguinaldo, but that leader had refused
to grant the conference. Mr.. Lopez
also characterized as unwarranted the
stories that Germany was secrtly
equipping the Philippine insurgents in
order to bring about international dis
sensiohs and embarrass American con-
troll
When General Greene reached Gen
era1 Corbin's Office he found awaiting
him commission Of Major General of
Volunteers, dated SO as to place him
in that grade from August last He
promptly took the oath of office, and
became full -fedged Major General.
General Greene brought from Manila

their side, so that this sudden change
in policy is accounted for only or the
grounds stated.
There is, besides this apparent pur-
pose, yelled threat in the last instruc-
ton, mot under any circumstances to
allow the United States to interfere
with any disposition of the islands out
side of those retained by the United
States, such as Luzon, that Spain may
see hit to make" This is believed to
be an invitation TO some of the conti-
mental Powers to step forward in sup
port of Spain in this extremity, in the
hope of receiving as a quid pro quo
some one of the Philippines as a coal

FOREST FIRES
Raging About GIenwood Springs
Colorado,

DENVER, Sept. IA special to the
Republican" from Glenwood Springs
Col, says: This place is now the CEN
ter of huge forest fires. Since yester-
day morning new fires have developed
in every timbered section that is below
timber line. The town is in no danger
but serious loss will result in several
of the valleys.
The nearest fire is on Four Mile
Creek, and each side of the mountains
is a mass of flames. Cardiff is in q
direct line, and the streets are filled
with cinders. At noon to-day the sun
was nearly obscured by smoke, and
looked like huge ball of fire. The
odor of the burning timber was very
noticeable.
a courier just in from the Cattle
Creek country says that the fire is still
confined to the timber lines, and it is
hoped the valleys will not be burned
before rain comes.

be apt to secure Tammany Halls vote.
That Frederick Cooke of Rochester.
despite his interview upon his return
from Europe denying that he was a
candidate for Governor, is still a strong
favorite with the delegates from the
western and southern counties. and a.
likely man about whom a rally might
be made should the first few ballots
prove indeterminate.

choice Of Tammany. and that he will
be given the support of that organiza-
ton, and his nominal ton be thus se-
cured

Gale on British Columbia Coast.

VANCOUVER B. c., Sept. D.
Since last night an unprecedented gale
of wind has ragged. The steamer Horsa
was blown ashore at Stevenson. She
is probably not damaged much, as she
is flying no distress signals. 1t is Iu-
mored that a number of fishing boats
have been capsized and their occupants
drowned, but the rumor cannot be con-
firmed. The hillsides testify to the
fury Of the gale, which blew down a
great deal of timber.
