hotel. The miners then marched south
on Locust Street, the principal thorough
fare of the city, and out to the Spring
Side mine.
Sheriff Coburn had preceded them to
the threatened point of attack. He walked

each one appeared armed him with two

sAVANNAHs GALE IS OVER.
As Far as Can BE Learned But One
Life Is Lost.

Savannah, Sept. Savannah is just re-
covering from the effects of the storm of
Tuesday night and yesterday. The city
is still cut off by rail with all portions of
the country except Florida.
There has been no mail from the East
or North since Tuesday and the railroad
authorities say that they do not know
when the mail service will be resumed.
There are several washouts on both the
Central of Georgia and the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular and it is not probable
that they viii be repaired for several
hours In the meantime the Savannah
business men are carrying on their cor
respondence by telegraph. The street cars
began running again this morning.
The storm which began Tuesday night
at midnight lasted almost all of yester-
day, and nothing could be done to re-
pair the damage until today.
The houses with their roofs blown off
will now be given a chance to dry out
and the shipping, which was badly de-
moralized and damaged, can be righted
The German ship Maria Raffo, which
turned oveI on its side, is being straight
ened up and will be saved. The alien
bark Noe, ashore on the Tybee Island,
will be wreck, it is now believed. One
man was drowned on the Noe. So far
as can be learned, this IS the only death
resulting from the gale.
This morning a school of sailing craft
are off Tybee. Some of them sailed into
quarantine. There is no way to commu-
nicate with them, as the telephone lines

French Jurisprudence. In any country
where justice to the individual takes
precedence of the national welfare,
such a revelation as the confession and
suicide of principal witness and the
immediate resignation Of the chief of
the court-martial. would cause gen
eral clamor for the release of the i'm
prisoned victim. But ii should be re-
called that the army is still the pop
ular idol in France, and a Jew is still
hated. The evidence. preceding the
forged document. on which Dreyfus
was tried. still exists.
OF course, the sensational event must
be a source of immense satisfaction to
the defenders of Dreyfus and the
friends of the absent Zola. who fed
from imprisonment it gives strong
support to their cause, but il does not
insure reopening Of the case at an
early day. 1t is sad to think that
Dreyfus is kept in utter ignorance OF
all that has transpired since he was
convicted. He knows nothing of the
efforts his friends have made in his in
terest. and he will hear nothing of the
Henry confession and suicide.

The Dreyfus Cnse.

1t is no ordinary affair that can keep
Inconsistent France agitated for four
years. The mere degradation and i'm
prisonment Of a captain in the army,
whether guilty or innocent of a crime,
is not of Importance enough for that
Yet from the first the Dreyfus case
has been of uncommon interest to the
world, partly because he was popu-
larry supposed to have betrayed
French secrets to hated Germany and
partly because he is a Jew.
The case took on a larger signifi-
canoe when the methods of his trial
and conviction were challenged in
LAurore. by Emile Zola. Because the
honor Of the army was involved and
assailed. IN behalf of a Jew, France
deliberately flung aside all the usual
considerations of justice and stood by
the army. Clearly the defenders of
Dreyfus had the better Of the argu-
ment That only added to the exas-
peration and ferocity of the people If
7here had been the clearest evidence
that high officers in the army had con-
fspired for the destruction of an inno-
cent man, II would have made no
change in the general sentiment. The
honor OF the army must be upheld
even If 1t should mean the shielding of
criminal officers and the destruction of
innocence.
That is still the feeling of a great
majority of the French people. The
reports Of change of public senti-
ment are to be received with caution.
1t is far more likely the proof that the
defenders Of Dreyfus were right on
one point. will exasperate rather than
convert the masses. There is too
much reason to fear the confession and
suicide Of Lieutenant Colonel Henry
and the resignation of General Bois-
deffre will not insure a rehearing in
the Dreyfus case. AT one time all COM
ment on the matter was prohibited,
not in the interest of justice. but to
preserve the honor Of the army. The
same consideration may prevent the
minister of war from consenting to an
early reopening of the dangerous bust
ness. That official maintains as stoutly
as ever that the man imprisoned on
Devils Island is guilty

Expansion and Civilization.

American expansion means the ex-
pansion of American civilization. In
rescuing Cuba and Porto Rico from
the deadly blight of Spanish influences
we have done the world a service
which every European nation has been
quick TO recognize.
In the sense that America is better
qualified than Spain to civilize the
Cubans is she not better fitted to civ
ilize the Filipinos? Can any argu-
ment be advanced why. retaining
Cuba, we should abandon the Philip
pines? Should there be any limit to
Anglo-Saxon civilization?
These questions primarily addressed
TO the President and the Peace Com
mission merit consideration from all
sorts and conditions of men. Admiral
Dewey is an expansionist. but he is
also the greatest missionary in the his
tory Of the Western world.

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

The Maryland and Washington Rail-

ferred its right and title 10 all of its
property to the City and Suburban Rail-
way, of Washington. formerly the Eek
ington and Soldiers Home Railway Com
pany. for the sum of S7e0,0OO. the pay
ment of which sum is to be in 10000
shares Of the full paid capital stock Of
the purchasing company and S2o0.000 of its
first mortgage bonds of the Sl70O.OO0 is
sue.
The sale of the property was made
under act of Congress June 7. 1898. au-
thorizing the transfer.
In consideration of the terms of the sale
being complied with the Maryland and
Washington Railway assigns and conveys
to the City and Suburban Railroad Com
pany all its property. including its rights
of way. road beds, tracks. wires. poles.
and other equipments of all description.
The value OF the real property. includ-
ing permanent construction. is estimated
at S24O.OO0.
The consolidation of these two roads,
for that is what the sale amounts to, will
probably result in the early completion
OF the Maryland and Washington line,
which extends from this city TO Baiti-
more. In fact, it is believed the line
would have been completed long before
this if il had not been delayed for want
of some easy point of entry to this city
This difficulty has been overcome by the
consolidation of the roads. Now the traf-
fc over the old Maryland and Washing
TON branch can gain entrance over the
tracks of the City and Suburban Railway
formerly the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company.
Whatever effect the deal will have to-
ward the completion, there IS one thing
certain. and that is that the residents OF
the District will be the gamers. for 1t is
the purpose of the new corporation to
equip the lines of the lexington and Sol
diers' Home road with rapid transit ap-
paratus as soon as possible. II Is under
stood that the work of reconssructing the
red lines within the city limits will begin
early in the Fail. and be pushed to COM
