Charles Page Bryan of Illinois, to be
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary of the United States to Brazil.
Henry w. FurniSS, of Indiana, to be con-
sui at Bahia, Brazil.
There was considerable objection to Mr.
Bryan's confirmation as minister to China
to which post he was first nominated, on
the ground that he had no diplomatic ex-
perience and was not equipped for so i'm
portant post as that of the minister to
China is likely to be during the present adj
mniStraton in view of the European
scramble for position in China. and he was
therefore asked to exchange with Mr.
Conger The after was minister to Brazil
during the Harrison administration and was
regarded as one of the strongest and best
of our foreign representatives. 1t is be-
lieved there will be no opposition to con-
firmation of either gentleman.

She was badly injured, but recov-

attendance at Peoria, both Mrs. Campbell

emphatically at the Jackson banquet early
this morning. William J. Bryan in his
speech, concluded at a. m, devoted con-
siderable time to indorsing the fusion idea
and Illustrating its efficiency by the results
in Nebraska. This is regarded as a decisive
blow to the adoption of the Ohio plan in
Minnesota. A letter to Chairman Rosing
was read from Senator Jones, the national
chairman, which, by implication, strongly
urged fusion in Minnesota. The letter said

EsTERHAzY ACQUITTED.
NJ. lola Charges Unfairness and De-
mands an Investigation.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-The acquittal of Comte
Esterhazy has been received by the public
with the greatest enthusiasm. In many
quarters, however, it is still recognized that
the scandal is not yet ended. The arrest
of Madame d'Abbans caused great sensa-
ton and is regarded as unpleasant for Col.
Picquart
In view of the newspaper denunciations
of Comte Esterhazy on the ground that his
alleged unpatriotic letters were not sub
mitted TO the court-martial, Generel Pei
lieux, addressing the Comte as dear COM
maadent," writes that the expert reports
on handwriting were favorable to him and
were considered by the court-martial; and
he suggests TO Comte Esterhazy the pros
ecution of the newspapers attacking him.
The Aurore will publish tomorrow an
open letter from Emile lola TO President
Faure pointing out irregularities ana lie
galities in the Esterhazy court-martlal ana
formally accusing General BillOt. minister
of war; General MERCER, Major F:avary, the
investigating officers, and Major Patyde-
clam, of perjury, and challenging the gov
eminent to prosecute them.
The Teioicings over Comte ESterhaZys ac-
quittal are alleged to be really an outburst
of anti-semite feeling that his Jewish ac-
cuser failed Rumors are current that he
will prosecute NJ. Mathiu Dreyfus for defa-
nation of character. Colonel Picquart Will
be court-martialed at his own request. M.
lola is writing a novel on the case. M.
ZOla's letter to President Faure accuses
Major Patydeclam of being the principal
author of 1.-THE Terrible Judicial Error of
which Dreyfus is the victim. In seeking AN
author. for the borderau, Major Patyde
CLAIMS choice fell upon Dreyfus, who was
trapped and convicted. M. lola declares
that Dreyfus is innocent and that. Comte
Esterhazy is allowed to escape because the
truth would involve the whole general
staff

SOUTH MALESTER 1. T., Jan. II.
Mr.. j. M. McLoud. general solicitor of
the Choctaw, Oklahoma q Gulf Railroad
Company has just arrived here from Shaw
nee, y. L., and reports that there is no truth
in the reported Indian uprising on the Okla
ma-Semino.e border. There is, however,
great excitement and many persons are
leaving their homes near the border and
taking refuge in neighboring Oklahoma
towns. The Indians have been collecting,
doubtless for some lawful purpose, but there
is no evidence that they have killed any
white persons in retaliation for the burning
of the two Indians last Saturday morning
near Maud o. Z. The United States OFF,

preserve the peace. McLoud's statement is
corroborated by the letter to me just re-

shots were fired in the darkness by prac-
tical jokers in the neighborhood of Earl

Field very well and regards this information
as entirely trustworthy.
This afternoon General Brooke, at Chi

views OF herman Scientists on the
Question of Determining Sex.
NEW YORK, Jan. PA copyright cable
dispatch to the World from Berlin says:
Professor Schenck's alleged discovery has
excited great interest among scientific men
here. Professor Virchow. the eminent path
ologist, said: Professor Schenck has met
with many opponents on his scientific way,
and opponents viii not be wanting now. AS
the male is stronger and larger than the
female. one might suppose that strong, we'll
nourished women would be more likely to be
mothers of boys than delicate. poorly-nour-
ished women would be. But this is only sup
position, confirmation of which is lacking.
In order to be able to judge of the value Of
Professor Schenck's statement one ought to
know when ne begins to apply his method
One thing appears to me to be certain-that
is, that the germ cell has in itself a defined
sexual disposition. How, therefore. can one
influence female germ cell? do not see
any way unless the influence to be brought
to bear is begun at the time of the forma-
tioa of the female ovum unless it is even
extended to the parents.
How is 1t with twins? What nourish-
ment influence is predominant in this case?
Il should not like TO dispute the possibility
do not think it will be so easy to solve the
problem. Therefore, / am very skeptical
about Professor Schenck's statements
Professor Hertwig, the director of the
anatomical and biological institute of Ber-
lin University, spoke in this vein ''One
must receive all such statements with the
greatest caution. However, success has
been obtained in efforts to influence sex in
the lower animals
Professor Gusserow, the director of the
genealogical Institute, is skeptical also,
but does not dispute the possibility of such
a discovery.
Professor Munk, director of the Physio-
logical Institute, observed: while all the
experiments in this direction hitherto have
failed, the reputation of Professor Schenck
is such that one must look forward to fur
ther statements from him with the greatest
interest"
Professor Ohlshausen, noted gynecolo-
gist says, like Professor Virchow: THE
germ cell originally is either male or fe-
male not, as Professor Schenck asserts, BIZ
sexual. Therefore, the influence claimed is
impossible"
