Condition Have a Bad Effect.
Washington, Aug, SILT cannot be said
that Secretary Alger is indifferent to many
sensational stories that are printed as TO
the conditions that prevail in the great
military camps, for his first interest Hes
in the welfare of Individual troops. But he
said to-day that with fuh knowledge Of
the lack of foundation for most of these
he deprecated such publications not be-
cause of fear that the American people
would be mistaken in their understanding
of the actual facts, but rather from an
apprehension of the evil effects such pub
l!oatious would produce abroad
There the people, who with their fun
military training knew just what hard
ships must be encountered by troops III a
campaign and especially in military camps
and manouvcrs, would regard with amused
surprise the innumerable complaints that
are pouring forth upon The government
here, upon the pretexts that would be dis
regarded entirely In Europe, and they
could scarcely fail TO gain the impression
that the American people are lacking in
so.dierly qualities.

The Royal Mail steamer Empress of

Al Taipan 76S houses were destroyed 395

Nineteen people were killed and the in-

At Takelung the damage caused to

The steamer Enoshlma Maru was blown

Many people were rendered destitute.
The storm began about midnight Aug. s

Pekln reports confirm the statements that
the Chinese government has determined
to appeal TO all the treaty powers for pro-
lection against Russian aggression.
Russia has vigorously protested against
the reorganization of the Chinese army

land will not weaken, that China will be
firm, and that the United States Will give
them the fullest moral support.
Chinese papers publish a contract made
between the Sheng Tatoai and a Belgian
syndicate of the Lu Han Railway. IL is
a very different enterprise from the orig
inal project. The Belgians have practical
ly transferred their contract to the Rus

CABINET IN STORMY sITTINGs.
Henry-Dreyfus Affair Throws Paris
Into Great Excitement.


Into Great Excitement.
Paris, Aug. S1.-The cabinet has held
two stormy sittings, under the presidency
of M Faure. Ii finally rose, between s and
7 o'clock, having apparently failed TO ar
rive at a decision on the question of re-
vising the Dreyfus sentence for the Gus
tomary official note was not issued to-
day.
1t is possible however looking to the
excited state of public feeling, that the
government deems it advisable to proceed
cautiously and to conceal its decisions for
the present.
NJ. Delcasse, minister for foreign affairs,
is said to have been violently attacked by
his colleagues for having been ignorant of
the intention of the Emperor Nicholas 10
issue his disarmament proclamation, but
in face of the revival of the DTeyfus af-
fair, the disarmament proposal has taken
quite a secondary place 1t is alleged that
several minister, including NJ. Brisson,
the premier; NJ. Maruejouls, minister of
commerce, and NJ. TTouillot minister of
the colonies, demanded a revision and the
immediate supersession of several staff Of
ticers.
NJ Cavaignac, however, remained firm,
opposing this course on the ground that
Lieut.. Col Henry's forgery had not alter
ed the case as affecting Dreyfus' guilt.
The only result, thus far, therefore, is
that Comte Esterhazy is cashiered and
will retire on a small pension. Even af-
ter leaving the council the ministers con-
tinued to argue heatedly.
NJ. Faure has deferred his intended re-
turn to Havre 1t would be impossible to
describe the sensation that has thrilled
Paris and it is not unlikely that at the
next meeting of the Chamber of Deputies
the government will be defeated.

GEN. BoIsDEFFRE RESIGNS.
Misplaced Confidence in Col. Henry
Causes Him to Retire.

Oauses htm To feIlFe.
Paris, Aug 81, 10 p. m.-Gen. Lemouron
de Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff
of the French army, has rendered his res
ignation to the government.
Gen. de Boisdeffre, In his letter of resig-
nation, explains that he resigned owing
to his misplaced confidence in Lieut.. Col.
Henry, which led him to present as gen
uine what was forged evidence.
M Cavaignac, the minister of war, in re-
ply asked Gen. de Boisdetfre to remain to
"see justice rendered in the matter"
Gen de Boisdeffre thanked M. Cavaig-
nae for proofs of his thanks, but persist
ed in his resignation. He will be replaced
therefore by Gen. Renouard, director of
the military college.
Col. Henry was attached to the war ce-
partment when Dreyfus was convicted,
and he was one of the prominent witnesses
who testified unfavorably to M. Zola dur
ing the latter's sensational trial on the
charge of libelling military officials.

CHANGES OF THE HEAVENS.

The beautiful Constellation ofthe Southern
Cross is Moving Rapidly southwark.
If Job were to rise from the dead and
look upon the heavens. says Prof. It.
j. J. See in the May Atlantic, he would
see the consultations related to one
another as of old. but he would find
that the pole had shifted it's position
among the stars; and if an immortal
could witness the grand phenomenon
which the procession of the equinoxes
produces, in about $4,000 years he
would find the heavens so altered that
the former aspect could be recognized
only by an understanding of the
changes which had interviewed. AS
Humboldt justly remarks, the beautiful
and celebrated constellation of the
Southern Cross, never seen by the pres
ent inhabitants of Europe, and visible
in the United States only ON our south
ern coast, formerly shone on the shores
of the Baltic, and can again be seen in
that latitude in about $4,000 years. The
| Cross will then be visible on the shores
| of Hudson's Bay, but at present it is
! going rapidly southwark, and in few
thousand years will be invisible even at
the extreme point of Florida. IL like
manner, the brilliant star Campus in
the constellation Argo, situated some
81 degrees south of Sirius, is now visi-
BILE in the southern portion of the
United States; in about 10000 it will
cease to rise even in Central America
From the same cause, if Ptolemy were
TO again look upon the heavens al
Alexandria, he would be unable to rec
ognize Alpha and Beta Centauri, which
he easily saw and catalogued in tn,
time of Hadrian; at present these mag
nifcent stars are just visible at thu
Pyramids near Cairo. and in few
thousand years they can be seen b.
jewellers on the Nile only in Uppe
Egypt.
