France.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The Suns
special from Paris says: The unevent-
full celebration OF the national holiday
seems to mark the disappearance OF
serious danger to the republic in con-
nection with the Dreyfus affair. All
those connected with the conspiracy
have completely lost their courage, and
now there is small reason to fear op'
position to a re-establishment of justice
in France. Public opinion has been
sufficiently enlightened so that it is no
longer possible for Merciers, Boisdef-
fres or Zurlindens to appeal success
fully to the popular passions. They
are now chiefly engaged in attempts to
save what they can of their ruined repu-
tations.
A great deal has been printed during
the week about the terrible special tor
lures of which Dreyfus was victim
during his long imprisonment. The
truth is bad enough, but there has I'M
doubtedly been considerable exaggera-
ton, its purpose being to increase re-
vulsion of national feeling, which is
proceeding rapidly enough by natural
means now that the eyes of the people
have been opened. In fact, these tao
tics overreach their object, and Will
probably not be persisted in by Drey-
fus' friends. Their thirst for retribu-
ton is intense, but the government
holds moderate opinion as to the eX-
tent to which they should be gratified.
There is no genuine popular resent
ment against the mild but just meas
ures which have been taken in the
cases OF Gems. Zurlinden, Pellieux,
Deniel, and others.
The result of the trial is universally
regarded as foregone conclusion, and
the dragnet inquiry which the govern
ment has apparently decided to make
in order to once more silence such ma
icious fools as M. Quesnay de Beaure-
paire seems almost unnecessary. 1t is
both hopeless and absurd TO imagine
that any genuine fresh evidence of
guilt will be forthcoming after the vim
dictive conspirators have sought it in
vain for five years. 1t seems inevita-
BILE, however, that the process of vindi-
cation will be drawn out through three
long weeks before Dreyfus is legally
proclaimed an innocent victim of the
blacklist conspiracy of the age.
PARIS, July 17.-Ex-Judge de Beau
repaire accuses the post-office au-
thOrities of confiscation of letters pass
ed between himself and man who
proved to Beaurepaire's satisfaction
he was witness to the act OF Dreyfus
in selling military secrets previous to
1894, and who wants to testify at the
Rennes court martial.

A Tie.Up.

NEW YORK, July 16.-A strike on
the trolley line is on in Brooklyn. For
some weeks past the employees on the
lines OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
have been complaining that the man
sgement did not live up to the ten hour
law. The men demand revision of
the time tables at the different barns
and also claim that they should be paid
20 cents an hour for over time, which
is equivalent to so day.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE second
day of the street car strike in Brooklyn
finds the situation unchanged. The
Rapid Transit Company thus far is
able to run few cars on all lines, thus
avoiding complete tie-up. The first
serious effect of the strike on the pub
lie was this morning, when thousands
who live in Brooklyn and work in Man
haitian were obliged to walk to ferries.
People took the inconvenience good
naturally. Sympathy of the public 10
with the men. At Liberty and Rock
away Avenues a crowd stoned the car,
police dispersed mob, making several
arrests. A crowd of strikers boarded
a Putnam Avenue car at eight O'Clock.
The police arrested all the men who
tried to force motorman and conductor
to strike.

during and since the war with Spain.
Ex-senator Wilson, of the State of
Washington, says expansion is not a
party question in his State, as 1t is en-
dorsed by practically the entire popu-
ton. He thinks there isn't the
slightest doubt of President McKinley's
reelection by an increased majority,
both in the popular vote and in the
electoral college. Mr.. Wilson thinks
that Bryan is losing ground 80 fast in
the extreme West that he will not be
renominateG by the Democrats. 1t is
only because of Bryan's supposed con-
troll of the West and South, that he has
any support at all in the East. If the
West and South do not send solid del
egations for him, to the Democratic
national convention, he will stand but
little show, even with the two-thirds
rule, which his friends are working TO
abolish, out of the way.
On the other hand, Director Roberts
OF the United States mint, who has
been recently in the middle West, is
reported as saying that "There is not
much talk o! politics in the West. The
general understanding is that President
Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan will be re-
nominated. Mr.. Mckinley will carry
more western states than he did three
years ago, and will obtain a much larg
er majority in Iowa than before. Many
Democrats who voted for Bryan tolt
me that they were satisfied with tn,
situation, and would vote for the re
election of Mckinley"

IN THE FAR EAST.

Hone KONG, July 1.-THE under
signed, all staff correspondents of
American newspapers in Manila, unite
in the following statement: 1--WE be-
lieve, owing TO official dispatches from
Manila made public from Washington,
that the people of the United States
have not received correct impressions
as to the situation in the Philippines,
that these dispatches presented an ul-
ira optimistic view not shared by the
general officers in the field. We be-
lieve these dispatches incorrectly rep
resented existing conditions among FL
lipinos, respecting internal dissensions
and decentralization resulting from the
American campaign and the brigand
character of their army. We believe
the dispatches err in the declaration
that the situation is well in hand and
! the assumption that the insurrection
can be speedily ended without great
| ly increased force.
We think the tenacity and purpose OF
the Filipinos has been underestimated
and the statement that the volunteers
are willing to give further service is
unfounded. The press censorship has
compelled us to participate in this mis-
representation by excising and altering
incontroverted statements and facts on
the plea, as General Otis stated, "They
would alarm the people at home" or
"would have the people in the United
States by the ears" Specifications on
this are: The prohibition of sending
hospital reports and the number OF
heat prostrations in the field; the sup
preston of full reports of field opera
tons in the event of their failure; sys-
tematic intimidation of naval opera
tions and prohibition of sending com
plete reports of the situation. Signed

Faith Healers.

NEW YORK, July 15.-In response
to postal card invitations sent out by
the Medical and Legal Relief Society,
about 200 men and women assembled
at the Waldorf-Astoria to discuss the
proposed bill of Alderman Howard p.
Okie, aimed at the practice OF healing
by Christian Scientists.
The bill provides that any person adj
vising another person not to call doc
tor or surgeon In case of illness or in
jury shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and, if the illness or injury
results in death, of manslaughter
Mr.. Sutro, the chairman, said that
the immediate cause of the call for the
meeting was the various startling dis
closures in the public press which led
to public trials of so-called Christian
Scientists. Weak. minded persons had
been persuaded to go without medical
treatment, and the result in many cases
was death.
The weak points and the good points
of the proposed law come out in the
discussion, and the whole matter was
finally referred to a committee of nine.

Judge Field.

Dartmouth men OF generation ago
recall the fame that fingered around
the old, musty halls and ciassrooms,
redolent with the "bottlings" of sue
cessive generations of barbarian sopho-
mores, of one Tutor Field who had
graduated in the middle fifties with a
record for perfection of scholarship, as
disclosed by recitatiops, that had been
shared only by Rufus Choate and Prof
Putnam, the sweet and gracious in
structor 10 Greek, then still in the
body, whose interpretations of the beau
ties of Homeric poetry invariably drew
rapturous applause from the students.
To these three graduates alone attach
ed the distinction of having marked
perfect in all their courses, and it is not
recalled at this time that this acme of
collegiate fame has been reached by
any succeeding graduate.
After his graduation Field had been
for a while tutor in the service of his
Alma Mater. He studied law, passed
rapidly upward on the ladder of fame,
achieving high professional distinction,
serving in the Legislature of his adopt
ed State of Massachusetts and bearing
her commission in the national House
of representatives. Massachusetts
made him a judge of her Supreme
Court, and for nine years he was its
Chief Justice. Judge Field has recent
ly died, and the newspapers are filled
with eulogiums of the brilliant student,
the erudite lawyer, the faithful rep
resentative, the just judge-and last,
but not least, the good citizen.
Judge Field was native of Ver-
mont, born at Springfield in 1888, a
brother of Hon. Fred G. Field of that
place, well known in Vermont bust
ness and political affairs.

Strike IMPENDING?

Boston, July 16.-The labor trou-
bles on the Boston and Maine and
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad systems have reached q stage
where general strike seems probable
unless the managements OF the roads
recede from their present position.
The strike would involve from 10000
to $4,000 employees, and IL successful
would result in a complete tie up Of
both systems.
The Order of Railway Telegraphers
is responsible for the present phase of
the situation, III seeking the adjustment
OF what the members consider grew
ances. But the employees of other de-
partments also have grievances and
will probably aid in general move
ment to put the railroad employees of
New England in more favorable stu
alton. Many of the big roads of other
parts OF this country and Of Canada
have already adopted practically the
same schedule of prices that the New
England employees are seeking to have
adopted.
The principal demands of the tele-
graphers are Tor minimum salary of
w day and for days work of fixed
number of hours, with pay for over.

many men who should be classed as
telegraphers get as low as from $50 to
$40 month and work from O'Clock

HOar's Yellow Washington Crates.

The anti-imperialsts do not appear
to be quoting from Aguinaldo's speech
at the recent celebration of the ami
versary of Filipino independence. The
speech has something of oriental gaudi-
ness of rhetoric, and is strongly mark
ed with the orators we'll known moral
characteristics. Here is bit of
rhetorical and moral color:
Filipino, beloved daughter of the ardent
sun of the tropics. commended by Provi-
dence to the care of noble Spain, be not I'M
grateful to her salute who warmed you with
the breath of her own culture and civiliza-
ton"
1t lie true, the writer says, that "noble
Spain sought to crush every aspira-
ton for independence" but this was
only the expression of "a loving moth
er's opposition to separation from
the daughter of her BOSOM" Several
centuries of oppression, robbery, MUIR
der, with all the other dread accom-
paniments of Spanish colonial rule, only
"proves the excess of affection and love
Spain feels for the Filipinos." Who
can doubt that this man is fit to rule,
the peer of Washington, or the worlds
best champion of human freedom
He has all the moral and rhetorical
qualifications for membership of the
Boston Anti-Imperislist League.
Descending from the heights of tropi-
cal elocution to matters of mundane in
terest, the orator makes some state
ments which, it is matter of surprise,
anti-imperialists, and particularly the
Democratic wing of anti-imperialism in
America, are not exploiting with the
vigor and exuberance recently shown
in circulating the publications of that
adopted son of the tropics and affinity
of Aguinaldo, the Rev. Clay MacCau-
ley. Said this tropical Washington,
who like his great prototype, cannot
tell lie:
have arisen in our favor. Especially is the
Democratic party convinced that both VIC
tors and vanquished will lose precious lives.
Thus many Of the people and many states
men censure President Mckinley as inhu.
man for having ordered his military repre-
sentatives at Manila to seek means to bring
about hostilities with the Filipinos. These
facts prove that they wish to try US, to see
if we are able to live up to second color of
our banner, red. which signifies courage,
heroism and martyrdom."
This man of tender conscience and
nice moral perceptions AYERS that 1--WE
might well accept this autonomy the
Americans OFFER" but tive don't wish
to be traitors afterwards. We wish to
show our character Of frankness and
sincerity, and nothing more" Patrick
Henry isn't in it any longer. But
Aguinaldo's reliance on "the States of
the American Union that have arisen
in his favor" and especially on the
Democratic party" will be vain-how
Elusive the history of the southern re-
bellion should teach him. Assistance
from the anti-imperialists will be as
effective as was Copperhead support to
the Confederacy, as was the Demo-
cratic party in 1864.
