FIRE DRILL
CHICAGO SCHOOL CHILDREN PUT TO
AN UNUSUAL TEST.
Fire Alarm Turned While the Pupils
Were Practicing, and Engines Rur-
ried to the Building.

CHICAGO, Jan. A.-Through an error on
caused this afternoon in the Dore school on
Harrison street, and 1000 children rushed
into the street bareheaded and without any
outdoor wearing apparel. Serious results
must have followed the breaking out of the
panic had not Principal r. M. Hitch and
presence of mind. For a long time Prin-
cipal Hitch has given his pupils a fire drill.
1t was the custom in the school at times for
and every scholar and all the teachers were
carefully instructed in what they must 90
in order that all of them might reach the
street in safety. The drills had been dis
continued for some time. and to-day the
principal thought it good time to see ROW
ingly rang the bell suddenly. In one Of the
rooms containing the youngest children
there was some excitement, but 1t was
quickly checked by the teacher, who soon
had all the children in line and passing rap
idly through the door. The first boys to
the custom when the fire drills were IN
progress and a man who was passing,
thinking the school was on fre ran TO the
corner and turned in an alarm. Before halt
the pupils had reached the street, engines
and hose carts were piling up before the
building and firemen came tearing into the
school dragging a long line OF nose rms
and the putting of the engines brought q
trifle too much realism into the drill, ana
there was great excitement among the
pupils. The principal and the teachers kept
their heads however, and while restraining
the children through the doors. Not one OF
the children was hurt.

some Partisan Lies Nailed.

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-The minister for for
eign affairs, Baron Won Bulow, made a
solemn statement to-day before the budget
committee of the Reichstag in regard to
the Dreyfus affair. He declared most en-
phatically there never hao been any rela-
lions of any kind between German repre-
sentatives or agents and Dreyfus. Contfnu-
ing, the minister said the story of the waste
paper basket incident at the German en-
bassy in Paris and the finding therein of
compromising documents affecting Dreyfus
was sheer invention. He added that the
Dreyfus affair had not affected in the
least the calm relations between the Ger
man and French governments. The speak
er knew nothing of the visit of Dreyfus
to the Reichstag and still less of the al
legged special facilities given Dreyfus by
German officials during his alleged visit.
Baron Won Bulow prefaced his declara-
ton by saying he could only speak with
extreme caution. as otherwise his words
might be represented as interference in
French affairs and he thought there was
the more reason for enjoining reserve since
it might be expected that light would be
cast on the affair by the proceedings initi-
at6d in France itself

THE CARTER COURT-MARTIAL.
A. :. CoOper's Letter to Capt. &. Il. Gil
Iette Admitted as Evidence.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 24-Colonel Barr,
judge advocate, succeeded in getting before
the Carter court martial to-day the famous
letter of Engineer A. S. Cooper to Capt.
C. E. Gillette. in which he stated that
Captain Carter was an extremely bright
and even brilliant officer, and had done
great deal of creditable work in this dis
trict. Captain Carter, he said, is also
very ambitious man, and it was his ambi-
ton. he feared, which had got him into
trouble. He has yielded to temptation,
said the letter, land has probably allowed
the contractors Tor particular CONTRACTOR to
do as he likes in exchange for their inf1u-
ence and power to boost him along" The
only real wrong lone, so far as the govern
ment is concerned he said, is that the con-
tractors have been paid one-third or. one
half more for the work than they should
have received. The mischief is not serious,
the letter said, because the work has been
well done. Mr.. Cooper also credited himself
with much of the good results that had
been attained. His letter was an argument
to dissuade Captain Gillette from having an
investigation of the charges made.

NEW DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
George r. Roberts Nominated us X. E.
PrestOn's Successor.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The resignation
of r. e. Preston as director of the mint
was this day rendered to the President, to
take effect on the appointment and quail
fication of his successor. Mr.. Preston has
been connected with the Treasury Depart
ment for more than forty-two years. Dur
ing the last four years he has been direc-
tor of the mint. His long experience and
acquired information has been very val
liable to the government.
The President later sent to the Senate
the name of George +. Roberts, or Fort
Dodge Ia, for the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr.. Preston. The appoint
Iment of Mr.. Roberts was entirely unsought
for by him, and is construed as a direct
recognition to the Republican sentiment in
Iowa on the financial question by rendering
this important position to one of the lead
ing citizens. made eminent by his able sup
port, by his pen and on the rostriini. of the
principles enunciated in the St Louis plat
form. Mr.. Roberts is said to be man of
high personal character, and an exception
ally able editorial writer. Another impor
tant nomination to-day was that of Chas.
II. Duell, Of New York. to be commissioner
of patents. II. G. McMinan of Iowa, was
nominated to be attorney for the Northern
district of Iowa

MIR. BAILEY,s SENSATION,
He Says CiviI-ServIce Commissioner
Proctor Asked About His Testimony.

He Says CiviI-ServIce Commissioners
Proctor Asked About His Testimony.
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA bombshell
was sprung at to-day's session of the Sem
ate civil-service investigating committee,
when E. d. Bailey assistant chief examiner
of the Civil-service Commission, and a lead
ing witness, intimated that the commission
had sought to interfere with his testimony
Mr. Bailey was asked as to the last sweep
ing extension of the civil service, on May
6. 1896, and he said the extensions were first
suggested by the commission to the Presi-
dent, instead of the reverse, which he
thought might be required by strict con-
struction. At this juncture Chairman
Pritchard read a letter which. he said, he
had received from Mr.. Bailey, saying he
was under unpleasant suspicion by rea-
son of being summoned, and asking why
he had been singled out from the commits
sion.
Senator Pritchard pressed the witness re-
garding the reason Tor writing this letter,
saying: IF any one has interfered with
you 1t is due the committee to tell every
thing"
THE first thing that revealed the TACT
that l might be suspected OF knowing more
about examinations than l actually know,
replied Mr. Bailey, was when Mr.. Proc
tor called me to his office a little after the
first testimony | gave. lie said he had no
desire to influence my testimony in any
way, but that the chairman of the commit
tee had not summoned any one friendly to
the commission. and asked me to tell him
what | was to say, so he could be prepared
to answer" The witness insisted he did
not believe Mr.. Proctor intended to intimi-
date him.
Mr.. Baieys intimidation charges created
a sensation. Chairman Pritchard, of the
committee. took occasion to deny Mr.. Proc
tors reference to ex parte testimony, and
stated that nine-tenths of the people who
had appeared We're unknown to him at the
time. Chairman Proctor then cross-exam-
ined witness Bailey and sought 20 show that
the latter had been a 'mischief-maker.

Sneeiai to the Indianapolis JOuINai.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-The State De-
partment is understood to be taking impor-
tant steps for the enforcement of the Me-
Cord claim against Peru, and a broad inti-
nation is given out that sensational DEM
onstration may be made any day against
the Peruvian government This is one of
the most aggravating cases that has been
before the State Department in years. The
amount is not large. being only about $4,000
but the Peruvian government has haggled
ard procrastinated over its payment. until
the patience of the government at Wash
ington has been taxed to the limit of en-
durance. State Department officials are
very reticent, and will not say what they
are doing but from a source that is usually
well informed as to what is going on in
tho department, the tip is given that unless
the claim is paid within very short time
an American war ship will appear at Callao
with Instructions to seize the custom house
and collect duties until the amount is made
up, or until the Peruvian government set
ties. This is the course that was proceeded
with by the British government at Corinto
less than three years ago, and it is the
method that has been adopted hundreds of
times in the past to compel prompt action
by deliquent nations

THE DREYFUs CASE.
Action of the French Ministry Again
Endorsed by the Deputies.

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties was thronged to-day when the session

tested against the treatment accorded the
chamber on Saturday, saying it recalled the
coups detats of December. 1851. and No

deputy further complained of the interview
ton of troops Saturday.
The president of the chamber M. Brisson,
explained that those who were charged to
clear the tribune met with resistance and
thought it their duty to call out the guard.
NJ. Jaures, the Socialist leader, requested
permission to continue the discussion CT
Saturday. He criticised the governments
incomplete prosecution" of Emile lola and
asked what were the reasons for this state
of affairs He protested against the alleged
illegality and secrecy of the DreyfuS pro-
ceedings and reproached the government
with pusillanimity He also claimed that
for the past twenty-six years the Republic
had been controlled by financers and ac-
cused the majority of desiring the 'redeliv-
cry of the Republic into the hands of the
monarchy and clericals." But" NJ. Jaures
exclaimed, 1.-The Socialists are prepared to
defend the true Republic"
The premier, M. Meline, refused to re-
has no right to constitute itself a court of
Justice"
The House, by a vote of 376 to 1873, ex-
pressed confidence in the government. The
vote was taken on Premier Melne demand
ing the closure. after ex- Minister Goblet
had spoken declaring that it was the gov
ernment's duty to formally express the con-
viction that Dreyfus was guilty and charg-
ing the government with prosecuting lola
in order to crafty the Rightists.
The government will prosecute M. Gerault-
Richard and the Comte de Bernis for their
conduct in the Chambers of Deputies on
Saturday.
The Military Club to-day was guarded by
the police; police were also stationed with
in the Palais Bourbon, while a reserve force
of 100 policemen was drawn up in the court
yard of the minister for foreign affairs.
There was another body of police in the
garden of the Tuileries and a detachment
of the republican guard was stationed in
the courtyard of the minister of marine.
According to the Gaulois, the minister OF
war. General Billot, will prohibit all Of
ficers from testifyng at the trial of Emil
Zoia. General Billot. himself Will attend
the trial in full uniform to make "neces-
sary defense of the army's honor The
organ of the government claims that pub
lie tension has been relieved by the firm
statement made by the premier, NJ Meline,
in the Chamber of Deputies, and by the
completeness of the police prosecution.
NJ. Jaures has received a dispatch from
AlgierS saying that the town was in flames
and tnat a hundred Jews had been killed.
He doubted the authenticity of the mes
to him. and the government has had no in
formation as to any so serious an affair.
