FLEES FROM FRANCE.
The Republic Becomes Too
Warm For Col. Esterhazy.

Paris, Sept. 9.-Great excitement pre-
walls on the boulevard, and nothing is
talked of but the report that Col. Ester
hazy has fled from France.
If Esterhazy, who is not a count, be-
ing merely descended from an nlegiti-
mate member of the great noble house
of Esterhazy in Hungary, has really
fed it was doubtless caused by the
knowledge that a warrant had been is
sued for his arrest; that his former
friend and patron. Gen. de Boisdeffre,
was no longer in Office to protect him,
and that he was about to meet his
deserts.
Within the last few days strict and
elaborate investigation, not only of the
Dreyfus case, but also of the entire in
telligence division of the war depart
ment, has been in progress, and this has
led to the discovery that the document
which Col Henry confessed to having
forged was by no means the only i'm
portant letter bearing upon the Dreyfus
case that had been thus fabricated, but
there were a number of letters purport-
ing to be the handwriting of the Ger
man emperor which were likewise
forgeries, and yet which had manifest
ly served to mislead many of the war
department and government officials.
These letters referred, every one OF
them, to Dreyfus by name, and con-
tained, among other things, the prom
ise of a commission in the German
army for Dreyfus in the event of his
obtaining certain documents.
The kaiser heard of the existence of
these letters more than a year ago, and
took an early occasion, both directly
and indirectly, to proclaim them to be
forgeries and to pledge his word that
neither he nor any of his officers had
ever held any communication or been
in correspondence with Dreyfus
KAISER'S DENIAL IGNORED.
No account was taken at the French
war department, or, in fact, anywhere
in France, of these denialS on the part
of the kaiser which gave him great
offense, and the letters remained to
convince the easily gulled French Off
ciaIs, especially the members of the
Dreyfus and Esterhazy court martials,
that Dreyfus had in reality betrayed
his country to Germany, and that the
German emperor had been aware of the
mans treachery, and had promised to
reward it by taking him into his own
service.
Examination of these documents by
an experienced ard unprejudiced eye
has now brought to light the fact that
the letters are just as much forgerieS
as the one that was perpetrated by
Col. Henry though it is unlikely in the
extreme that they were the handiwork
of the latter. This discovery, of course,
tends to still further eXculpate Dreyfus
and to increase the certainty of his in
nOcence.
Positive evidence has also been dis
covered of the fact that ESterhazy has
done a considerable amount of spying
on behalf of both Germany and Italy.
All this coupled with a charge brought
by his own cousin, Christian Elsterhazy,
of embezzIement of trust funds, and his
money from any source, may have led
EsterhaZy to flee.

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. s.-Texarkana
is in a state of alarm over the large
number of idle negroes who throng the
town and the citizens are organizing
vigilance committees for the protection
of their property.
The usual influx of negroes recently
is due to the operations of bands of
whitecaps in Titus, Cass, Red River.
Hopkins and other counties in the cot
ton districts OF Texas whence thous-
ands of negroes have fed on account of
notice being posted and in some cases
violence being used, to run them out
These people being run out of the cot
ton fields have sought refuge in the
towns and Texarkana has been the
refuge of a large number.
A trustworthy colOred man from I'll
tus county says that while a number of
his race were at work IN a field mob
of whitecaps concealed in a fence cor
ner, opened fire on them. The ne
groes fed leaving three of their number
behind, wounded and perhaps killed
They had been warned to leave the
county and had paid no attention to
the warning. Other similar incidents
are reported by incoming negroes. In
some localities in Titus which were
formerly denseIy populated by negroes,
not q colored man, woman or child re-
mains, according to the stories told by
those who have reached this place.

ENDS IN FISTICUFFS.
Session of the Letter Carriers Being
Held at Toledo

Toledo, O.. Sept. 9-The scenes in the
session of the National Association of
Letter carriers was disgrace to that
oody. President Parsons is a candidate
for reelection. but as he is no longer
an active carrier it requires a two
thirds vote to re-elect him.
From the rostrunn today. in the pres
ence of a thousand people, he accused
ex-President Quinn of Philadelphia,
O'Brien of Cleveland, Hornberger of
Buffalo, and National Secretary Vic
tory of Washington, D. c., with having
maligned and traduced him in saloon
caucuses and midnight conspiracies. He
said he had more respect for the mid
night assassin. who with his bludgeon
lay in wait for his victim, than he had
for them.
He said they had started a story that
the administration has filched over a
thousand dollars from the treasury
of branch No. SO of New York, and
that it was now behind over $105 in
fines, and not entitled to seats in the
convention. Again and again he let
out a vituperatiVe TRADE of abuse
II protestp' exclaimed Mr.. Quinn,
white with anger. This is indecent;
it's hlackguardismp
Then you're a blackguardp' retorted
the president.
And you're another!" as quickly re-
sponded Quinn.
Delegates in every part of the hall
were clamOring for recognition, coats
were being pulled, and sleeves rolled
up. but President Parsons went on in
a more vindictiVe manner than ever.
Finally Quinn, O'Brien, and Secretary
Victory each got the floor a moment in
turn on a question of personal priv
ilege, and accepted all challenges, ex-
cepting that to street fight, and Vic
tory and O'Brien said they would take
chances on that if Parsons would train
down to their size.
Great excitement meanwhile prevail
ed. At last quiet was restored, and the
dnl fa- i71fn
to fight it out. Disruption of the body
is threatened by many of the hot heads.
