Would Reach from New York
20 Las Vegas, n. VI.

II Frank c. Lewis, of Chicago, is go
ing TO tear down the great wall of
China and use the material for paving
stone he has big contract on hand.
The main or outer wall was built 200
years before Christ and runs from the
sea along the northern boundary Of
China for distance of 500 miles. The
inner wall branches off from the outer
and forms the arc of a circle 500 miles
in circumference. The outer wall is

feet in height and from IS TO 25 feet in
width. The inner wall is almost twice
the height and is almost the same width.
Along the top of the inner wall runs for
its entire length promenade IS feet
wide. The engineering difficulties over
come and the great amount of labor
spent in building the walls may be gath
cred from the fact that they run up the
side of mountains across rivers. and
everywhere follow the boundary of the
ancient empire. Even to this day the
savage Mongol tribes regard the great
wall as the limit OF their pastures. The
two walls together, if stretched out in
a straight line, would reach from New

Austin's Anniversary Poem.

The New York Independent prints the
following poem by Alfred Austin, poet
laureate Of England. written upon the
sixty-hrst anniversary Of Queen Victoria s
coronation:
The dew was on the summer lawn,
The birds we're bllthe. the woods were
green,
When forth there came. as fresh as dawn,
A maiden with majestic mien.
They girt a crown about her brow,
They placed a scepter In her hand.
And loud rang out a nations vow:
God guard the lady Of the landF'
And now the cuckoo calls once more.
And once again June's roses blow,
And round the throne her people pour,
Recalling the long years ago;
And all the goodly days between,
Glory and sorrow. love and pain,
The WifeIy mother, widowed queen,
The loftiest as the longest reign.
she shared her subjects bane and bliss,
welcomed the wise. the base withstood,
And showed by her pure gift il Is
The greatest greatness 70 be good.
Yet while for peace abe wrought and
prayed
She bore the trident, wore the helm,
And. mistress Of the main. she made
An empire OF her island realm.
So. gathering now from near. from far.
From rule where never sets the day,
From southern cross and northern star,
Her people lift their hearts and pray:
Long and sim longer may she reign.
And through a summer night serene.
Whose light doth never wholly wane,
God spare and guard our empress queenF

DREYFUS Is GUILTY.
VERDICT OF COURT MARTIAL.
FIVE TO TWO.
Sentenced for Ten Years Ia Prfson, in
Spite of Evidence, on Charge of Sending
Secret Documents to Foreign Power
Dreyfus Received Verdict Calmly.

Rennes, Franco At 5 o'clock en-
Saturday afternoon the judges of the
court martial returned their verdict of
guilty and condemned Captain Dreyfus
to ten years in prison. The members
of the court stood five to two for con-
viction.
Colonel Jouaust began reading the
Judgment which opened with the ques-
ton referred to the judges by the court
of cessation. ''Was Dreyfus guilty of
entering into Vaccinations to send So
cret documents to foreign power?" Hs
gave them the answer that the court,
by majority of five to two, found
Dreyfus guilty.
The gendarmes then closed around
the audience and pressed them outside.
Not cry was raised by anyone. Every
thing passed off with complete calm
As the people emerged the gendarmes
kept them moving away from the court.
The small crowd of people outside
cheered for the army, but the gend-
armes did not interfere. The judgment
was read to Dreyfus in an adjoining
little room, by the clerk of the court,
NJ. Coupois, Dreyfus listened impassive,
did not give the slightest sign of emo
ton, did not utter word, and march
ed back to prison like an automaton.
It is understood Dreyfus will be sent
to Fort Corte, in the Island of Corsica.
A large crowd, which the police kept
moving, waited around the square in
which the telegraph Office and the prin-
cipal cafes are situated.

PLOTS AGAINST THE REPUBLIC
Government of France is Said to Hold
Abundant Evidence.

New York, Sept. 11.-A correspond
ent of the Tribune writes: The gov
eminent is believed to be in possession
of voluntary documentary evidence
establishing the existence of a nation
alist and royalist plot to overturn the
republic, and there is every indication
that President Loubet will apply the
constitutional law of 1875. This pro
vides that the senate can be resolved,
by decree of the president in council,
into high court of justice to try per-
sons charged with offenses against the
security of the state. The investiga-
lions that have been conducted by NJ.
Fabre, the examining magistrate in
charge of the case, have already re-
suited in the discovery of cornpromis-
ing documents in Paris and at C8n,
which are said to leave no doubt in re-
gard to the existence of the plot, not
withstanding the efforts of the nation
alist, royalist and clerical organs,
which for the moment are all pulling
tremendously together and ridicule the
