dismissed from the company, having
received the usual two weeks notice
from the management to leave their

theatrical debut three weeks ago, at
Hackensack, N. j., took the part of

in tights in the part she took, did not
suit the management, and after many
clashes, Hoyt & Mckee, before the
company departed for Marietta, Ohio,
notified her by the customary blue
envelope to quit.
Her part in the play is an inferior
one with few lines and fewer opportun-
tiles, and her acting was only ordinary.
She was unable to control her feel

fact that she was angry over the clash
between the management and herself,

PREME COURTS DECISION-THE
Law CONSTITUTIONAL.
Washington, October 2S.-Solicitor
General John K. Richards, who had
charge of the government side of the
Joint Traffic Association case before
the Supreme Court, and whose bril-
liant argument, occupying two days,
has been the subject of much favor
able comment by members Of the SUI
preme Court bench and bar, was ques-
toned to-day, after he had an oppor-
unity to read its full text, as to the
effect of last Mondays decision on the
railroad interests of the country. MI.
Richards said:
"The Sherman antitrust act de-
clares illegal every contract, combina-
ton in the form of trust or otherwise
or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or
commerce among the several States
The Joint Traffic case clinches the de-
cision in the Trans-Missouri case,
holding that the law applies to rail-
roads and prohibits all agreements in
restraint of interstate trade and COM
merce, whether the restraint be rea-
sonable or unreasonable; in addition it
holds explicitly that the law is consti-
tutional when thus applied even to rea-
sonable agreements in restraint of
trade.
''The constitutionality of the act was
not raised in the Trans Missouri case,
but in the Joint Traffic, Mr.. Phelps d.
rected his entire argument to this
point, urging that Congress could not
declare illegal and prohibit reasonable
contracts. The freedom of contract
guaranteed by the constitution forbade
it, he insisted. The answer of the court
to this ,.As that the railroad enjoy
public franchises, they perform public
services, and when engaged in. inter-
State commerce are subject to the reg
ulation of Congress.
What the ultimate result of the de-
cision will be. it is impossible to say.
Cases which establish important prin-
ciples usually affect, not simply courts
but legislatures in way one cannot
1oresee. 1t is gratifying to- believe
that the sentiment Of the people against
injurious monopolies can find legiti-
mate expression through laws passed
by their representatives, as enforced

CHARLESTON, W. Va, October Is
The Supreme Court held a special sess. on

commissioners of Putnam county TO place

After hearing the argument of the law

j. Fl. Marcum was nominated for State
Senator by the regular Democratic con-
vention for the Sixth Senatorial district,
composed of the counties of Cabell, Put
nam and Wayne. The delegates from
Putnam bolted the convention because of
the nomination of a man from Cabell,

organized and nominated John F. FIirt

ballot commissioners of Putnam county
by the chairman and secretary of the

H. Marcum. The ballot commissioners of
Putnam placed the name of Kirtley on the
ballot, but they will now have to take it
off and put on the name of Marcum.
This will insure the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate in the Sixth district,
while If Kirtley's name had remained on
the ballot the Republican candidate
would probably have been elected.

THE DREYFUS CASE,

of the Case to the Court.-Impres.
sion Created in Paris.

Paris, October 2S.-At to-day's ses-
sion OF the court OF cessation, NJ Bard,
the reporter, concluded his report of the
DreyIus case. He said the court should
make every investigation necessary TO
enlighten them and place the whole
truth In evidence.
NJ. Moruard, counsel for Madame
Dreyfus, urged that an investigation be
ordered concerning the divergency Of
the testimony Of the experts who ex-
amined the bordereau in 1894 and 1897,
and also to ascertain whether secret
documents were communicated to the
members of the courtmartial.
The public prosecutor, NJ. Manau,
followed NJ. Mornard. Addressing the
judges he said:
Nobody can now take the Dreyfus
affair out of your hands, nor can you
relinquish it without dereliction of
duty. Your decision must constitute
for everybody the expression OF truth
and justice Revise the trial then, gen.
tlemen, or at least prepare the road for
its revision"
NJ. Manau declared the court could
not annul the sentence imposed upon
Dreyfus without a retrial Of the pris-

The court then adjourned.
The newspapers here are sharply di-
vided into two camps, one Of them high

cence of Dreyfus, and the other insist

American history from 1776 to 1861.
Three hundred employees of the custom
house and one thousand Of the post
Office marched near the head of the
line. and after them came large dele
cations of beneficial and secret orders.
The Knights Of the Golden Eagle
turned out twenty-five hundred men
and a half dozen floats typical OF the
order. The Patriotic Sons OF America
had 1880 men and several floats; the
Junior Order of United American Me-
chanics had five thousand men; the
Ancient Order of Hibernians three
thousand, and many other societies of
various characters were largely repre-
scented. German, Italian, Slavonic and
colored organizations had places in
the parade and even
THE CHINESE SOCIETIES
turned out two hundred men, who
made a fine appearance and gained
much applause. The fire companies
marched with their ancient and mod
ern machines The balance of the
line was mAde up of trades displays.
The butchers and the BARRIERS and the
cigarmakers and the bakers, and al
most every other line of trade were
represented by large bodies of men,
and many descriptive floats
Generals Miles and Skater were at
the Bellevue during the early part of
the parade, but saw none of it in pub
lie. Among those on the stand in front
of that hotel were Consul General Mag
alpaes, of Brazil. his wife and niece,
Countess Westback.
One of the events of the day was a
reception aboard the new Japanese
cruiser Kasagi, by Captain Kashiwahara
and the officers of the ship.
The function was in the nature of
a farewell, as the Kasagi, which re-
Gently went into commission, will short

WANT ALL THE PHILIPPINES.

Whole Group Of Islands
WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE AMER
ICAN PEACE COMMISSION IN
PARASITIC CUBAN QUESTION
NOT CONCTUSIVELY SETTLED,
AS REPORTED, BUT SETTLE
MENT is EXPECTED EARLY
NEXT WEEK-THE PHILIPPINES
QUESTION TO COME UP PROBAB-
LY ON MONDAY.

Paris, October 2S.-The American
peace commissioners at their. sessions
to-day drew up memorandum on the
subject of the Philippine Islands, which
it is expected they will place before
before the Spanish commissioners at
the joint session which is to take place
on Monday next.
Washington, D. c., October 2S.-The
President was enabled to lay before
the Cabinet to-day very encouraging
reports from Paris regarding the pro-
gress of the peace negotiations. 1t can
be stated authoritatively that the COM
missioners have not yet begun the dis
cussion of the Philippine question, and
further that it will not be taken up
until next week. Since the Spaniards
have found that the American commits
sioners mean exactly what they say
and that their presentation of the side
Of the United tates is in reality an
utimatum, the useleSsness of prolonged
debate, it is said, has become apparent
to the Spaniards.
The United States has not ssumed
nor guaranteed the so-called municipal
debt Of Cuba or Cuban municipalities,
but it is expected that such debts will
be paid by the municipalities incur
ring them, for by no reason could
they be charged upon Spain.
Secretary Hay said the Cuban ques-
ton had not yet, as published, been
finally decided by the Paris commits
sion, but complete settlement, it was
expected, would be reached by the end
OF the present week. Although the
members of the cabinet are extremely
reticent on the subject of the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines, there is now
little or no doubt that nothing less
than the cession of the entire group
of islands will be accepted by the Amer
lean commissioners.

masse and cheered Justify for fully two
minutes.

from that witnessed in the same build
ing last night, when Judge Freer, the

lowers. Tonight more than fifteen
hundred persons were present; last
night hardly seven hundred. The
faces of many leading Republicans Of
this city were visible in the audience
tonight. and many of them have ex-
pressed their intention OF voting for
Neal on election day. Neal was intro
duced by Chairman t. S. Scanlon, Of

ence spell-bound.
