Buffalo. N Y, August 1.-THE News

that Roosevelt would be McKinley's run

shown this statement. According to his
usual custom he asked not to be quoted
directly in the matter. but he made it 50
emphatic in his talk with close friends
that no one who heard him can believe
that he could be induced to take the nom

THE LETTER WAS A FORGERY.
Schneider. the Austrian Attnche at
PMris. Did Not Write IL.


Paris, August IA special edition OF
Figaro just issued exposes another alleged
forgery in the Dreyfus case by publishing
the following telegram from Ems.
1.-The letter of November 90. 1897, at
tributed to me and produced in the Figaro
OF August 49, 1899, is forgery,
Schneider"
The letter referred to was one from
Schneider, the Austrian military s.tache
at Paris. in which he was alleged to have
said acknowledgment and Pannizardi, re-
spectively the German and Italian at
taches, We're trslng to make out that It
was not Dreyfus who was giving them in
formation and adding that he had no belief
in these protestatons NJ Cavaignac, the
former minister of war, in his testimony
made great point of this.
Commenting on the forgery. the Figaro
says: eve are sending this telegram to
Colonel Jouaust, president of the court
martial who certainly will not hesitate
to call upon General MesSier, General Ro-
get and others to explain how they came
to make such great point of this forgery
in their evidence"

FROM THE GERMANS.
Cologne Gazette Does Not Believe
Dreyfns Guilty.

Berlin, August 1.-THE Cologne Gazette
in an evidently inspired article ON the
Dreyfus court martial says: AS 1t is i'm
possible to cast shame upon France by
believing that witnesses who have held the
highest offices of state are prejudiced ruff
fans, their obstiante disregard of publicly
stated facts is only to be expected by their
firm conviction that the facts in the hor-
dereau were communicated by an officer
OF the STAFF
THAT officer could not have been Drey-
fus Suspicion invoIuntarily points to the
late Colonel Henry, who resorted to for
gerry to strengthen the legend Of the guilt
OF Dreyfus.'

CLOCK TRADE IN JAPAN.

Clocks are manufactured in various
parts of the empire of Japan, to such an
extent that the importation Of all but
the very cheapest quality has been vir
tually stopped. The most extensive
manufacture is carried on in Nagoya,
where there are seven factories, the
largest of which--the Hayashi factory
has an output Of seven to eight thou
sand clocks per month. Kyoto produces
about five thousand clocks in the same
period. Osaka has one factory turning
out over three thousand per month, and
Tokyo two factories producing about
five thousand clocks. 1t is estimated by
those best informed that over thirty
thousand clocks are made in Japan eve
ry month. The factories in general are
experiencing financial difficulties, and in
the case of those at Nagoya, the clocks
produced are being sold at ridiculously
low prices. 1t is believed that all the
factories are losing money, owing to the
stagnation in trade and the rise in the
prices of labor and material.
These factories, it Is said make near
ly all the styles of clocks formerly i'm
ported from the United States, partcu-
larly the eight-day, eight and ten-inch
dial, drop octagon clock. American
movements are exactly initiated, down
to the latest improvements under vari-
Gus American patents Everything per-
tanning to a clock is made here, except
the springs, which come from America.
Up to two years ago, these springs were
largely imported from Germany; but
since that time there have been import
ed from the United States, on account
of the superior quality and cheapness of
price offered by our country. Dealers
tell me that the American spring has
now almost ousted the German spring
from the japanese market. japanese
are beginning to import
steel for clock springs and have done so
little in the way of manufacturing, but
have not succeeded as yet in making
good article There are some eight-day
clock works imported from the United |
States and fitted with cases here, as they |

AN INGENIOUS DODGE.

A certain young soldier offlcer-ever
jealous for his corps-being on camp
duty one evening, determined that the
guilt should no longer be saddled on the
soldier alone, to the exculpation of the
greater offender. With this praisewor-
| thy intention he secreterd himself near
the tents Of the sailors. Presently he
saw approaching a fine cock followed
by party Of hens, picking up the grain
scattered by bluejacket. who, dis
tributing a more than usually liberal
the tents, disappeared within. Not
long after, the chandelier, discovering
his extra allowance, loudly called his
wives and family about him, and they
were soon lost to all but the enjoy
ment of SO unwonted a treat.
At that moment the flap of the tent
was cautiously raised, and three bronx
ed arms were instantly shot out and as
quickly withdrawn, each hand grasp
ing by the legs one Of the fowls. Amid
the cackling and screaming Of the hens
could be heard a hasty scuffling within
the tent as the young subaltern quick
ly advanced, now assured of the sue
cess Of his enterprise
What was his establishment when, on
putting his head inside he found one
bluejacket seated upon some mealie-
bags in the center calmly smoking his
pipe and busy sewing, while three other
forms lay stretched and loudly snor-
ing on the ground! Rousing them up,
the young officer taxed the lot with
looting. This, Of course, the men siren
uously denied one and all, and upon
the officer declaring he should report
the matter to headquarters, ould take
no refusal but that the tent should
then and there be searched Despite re-
monstrances they set to work, and in
very short time every single thing was
out on the grass, as they themselves
stood to attention, stripped to the
waist
Howbet, there was roast fowl for din
ner in that tent that evening" and this
is how it was done. A fairly large round
of turf had been neatly removed from
the center of the tent-covered ground,
and a sufficiently large hole dug, and
the earth disposed of. The birds on be-
ing captured were given an instantan-
eous wiring of the neck. thrown pell-
nell into this hole, the turf lid CAREFUL
ly replaced and straight-way covered
with the mealie-bags, on which our
stolid friend the bluejacket then sat |
himself down, sewing and smoking

are of superior quality and are better
timekeepers; but. the number is very
limited.
Japanese factories make an eight-day
drop octagon clock for 1850 yen ($13.75
in United States gold per dozen; this
includes dial and wooden case. l under
stand that American works cost about
the same laid down here, exclusive Of
dial, case and the duty, which latter is
now ten per cent, During the year 1893,
one hundred and fifty thousand ordina-
ry alarm clocks were imported from
Germany, at the cost Of about one yen
(fifty cents in United States currency
each, and this no doubt accounts for the
fact of Germany furnishing nearly all
the clocks imported during the past
year.

When Lasker, previous to the 1899
chess international tournament. visited
Manchester he was opposed in a stimuli
taneous performance by an unknown
player who had obtained permission
from the club secretary to take board
against the champion. The player put
up quite a fair game, but was finally
mated. Then he inquired OF Lasker
to know where he had erred in the
conduct of the play. We'll" said Las
