This is joint resolution, Mr..
Speaker, for the relief of the
staruing inhabitants of the interior
of Mindanao. The introduction of
modern fire arms has caused the
virtual extinction of the Visaya
tribe on which my unfortunate
constituency chiefly dependeded
for meat. Statistics gathered in
1897 showed that the supply Of
Visayas at that time IN towns and
villages, to say nothing of scat
tered herds, was sufficient to keep
us amply supplied with human
food for 100 years. Since ous
people were sup piled with repea-
ting rifles, however, and the
Visayas developed a tendency to
vote the opposition ticket we have
found it impossible to prevent
indiscriminate slaughter for pur-
poses of sport. The supply is now
exhausted. I know of instances
within my own knowledge, Mr..
Speaker, of families reared in the
lap of luxury who never knew the
taste of any human flesh but that
of the youngest and tenderest
called Visayas who are today
reduced to the degrading necessity
of feeding on the meat of animals.
This joint resolution provides for
the annual expectation to the ISL
and of Midandanao of Negro and
Chinese Immigrants sufficient tor

NEW TRIAL FOR DREYFUS.
Proof That Forged Evidence Was
Jsed in His Case.

Paris, Aug. 3l.-The arrest of Colonel
Henry, on the discovery that he is the au-
thor of an important letter which figured
in the Dreyfus case, is one of the most
sensational developments in the whole of
this extraordinary affair. Henry has been
throughout the champion of the army
against Colonel Picquart with whom lie
fought duel.
This new development appears to alter
the aspect of both the Dreyfus and lola
cases and to practically nullify the evil
dence of Generals AppelleuX and Bots
deffre and the declarations of the minis
ter for war in the chamber of deputies.
In fact some people believe the real turn
ing point in the Dreyfus case has been
reached and the arrest of Henry will lead
to revision of the trial of the prisoner
of Devils island.
1t appears that as soon as Cavaignac
assumed the office of minister of war he
charged the officials to make thorough re
search of the Dreyfus case and it was this
that resulted in the discovery of docu-
ments showing the proof of the guilt of
Dreyfus was forged.
Henry will be tried by court martial.

The pair stood looking at each other,
and. with a heartbroken sigh, Quincy
turned away and went silently to his

At haIf-past the two men left the
house for their days work in gloomy

nursed by the evil thought of a sleep

no time for idle talk. Come what

the same. There are only three cars,
but they are filled with pleasure-loving
sons and daughters of the old Nile The
cars revolve on a primitive wooden
framework, and the motive power Is
simply either the muscular arm Of one
OF the SoudaneSe below, or the frantic
and exuberant efforts of the passengers
themselves. Many travellers who have
penetrated into remote parts of Egypt
have been amazed, as you may well
imagine, to come upon one of these
pleasure wheels, grooming and creaking
round, with its loaded ears of grlnning
passengers.

Carefully wiping his boots on the

kitchen.
'Where's Dick?" said a voice from
the scullery beyond.
Hes got some errands-hell be back
In a bit" he answered, as he sat in an
arm chair before the fire and gazed
approyingly around. Bright oleographs
were neatly fastened to the paper; the
wooden chairs and table were spotless-
ly clean and the CRATE was as bright
as labor could make 1t.
We'll Peter, how do you like my
pictures?' said a pleasant voice; and
Mrs. Dart, drying her hands. came into
the kitchen. Her trim, neat figure. her
refined accent and her sweet, pale race,
all proclaimed her foreign descent, and,
together with her tidy house and smart
dress, brought down upon her the scorn
and hatred of her neighbors.
The big man looked at her with a
wistful look, which she seemed to find
embarrassing, for she began getting
ready the supper.

toward her.

Little did Dick Dart suspect how
many times that afternoon Azrael with
his flaming sword stood over against
him, or how many times the wretched
man behind him drew back from his
CHASTITY task.
At length the shells were all cast, and
Peter, with what strength of mind he
had. thanked God that his trial was
over, but as the men were leaving the

peter and l will stay, never fear
The workmen streamed out, leaving
the two men and the Waterman the
only living beings in the vast works.
Peter shivered as he followed his mate
to the great pit which radiated a burn
ing heat on all sides. With long iron
rakes they cleared the molten sea of
scum that dimmed its glowing surface,
and watched the blue flames that flick
cred from time to time on 1t. Although
the sweat was running down him,
Peter felt an icy coldness creep over
him as he drew nearer to Dart, who
stood looking keenly at the liquid mass
before him. He raised his rake to
thrust him headlOng to an awful death,
but he was unable to move, for there
stood plainly, between him and his vic
tim. the shadOwy form Of Dicks wife,
with hands uplifted. He flung down
his rake with n curse and came and
stood close to his friend, who was
stretched out over the pit gathering the
fresh rising scum. Whether the fumes
Overcame him, Dick Dart will never
know, for he felt himself falling for
ward and uttered sharp cry. In
stantly Peter flung out his left arm and
with a mighty effort hurled the fall
Ing man back, but lost his own balance
as he did so and fell with an awful
cry into the yawning death below him.
His scream Of mortal agony rang
through the building as he lay for an
instant on the liquid fire Then the
flames burst out around him and in q
few seconds not a trace of Peter Cur
ney remained.
Gone to an awful death, 1t Is true,
but with the fresh glory of a hero's
crown upon hlm-and who shall judge
