The Dre3fus Trial.

The drift of testimony in the DreyfuS
trial this week has been unmistakably favi
orable to the prisoner. A sensational efl,
feet was produced at the end of last week
when NJ. Bertillon, handwriting expert and
author of the Bertillon system for the
measurement and Identification of Grimm
ais, appeared before the judges and gave
an elaborate demonstration" to prove that
Dreyfus wrote the bordereau, but other ex-
perts have riddled his theory. The most
important testimony has been that given
by Capt. Freystaetter, who was one of the
officers of the court martial of 1894. He
said, in substance, that the sole evidence
on which Dreyfus was convicted was that
of the famous secret document presented
by Gen. Mercier, who was then the French
minister of war; and that document Mer-
cier has now acknowledged, under Labori's
merciless cross-examination, to have been
a forgery. So far there is no evidence
which would be accepted as proof in an
American court, of the guilt of Dreyfus,
and the real question appears to be whether
the court will have the courage to declare
him innocent, or whether political exi.
gencies will require his conviction a second
time.

A Number of special Intsrest.

The meeting of the International Con-
gregational council, to be held in Boston
in September, will be an important event.
and especially appropriate in this connec-
ton is the publication of history of
"Congregationalism in America" by Rev.
Morton Dexter, ia the September issue of
the New England Magazine, fully illustrat-
ed with portraits, views of theological
schools and early churches. although
Congregationalists are not one of the larg-
est denominations in numbers" says Mr..
Dexter, "they have been one of the most
important. New England has taken the
lead in settling and in shaping the charac-
ter of the interior and the great West, and
it is to the Congregationalists principally
that New England owes what she is"
The EDITORS table of the same issue is de-
voted to Robert Browne, the founder of
modern Congregationalism.
While public attention is being directed
toward Canada and Canadian affairs, Geo.
Stewards able paper on the city of Quebec
will prove of timely interest. 1t is fully
illustrated with excellent half-tone views.

Our Policy in the Philippines
As Publicly Declared by President Nc
HInIey.

htnleys
President Mckinley visited the Ocean
Grove IN. J.) camp meeting last Friday
afternoon before leaving on his visit to
Plttsburg. He was introduced by Bishop
Fitzgerald TO an assemblage of 10000 peo-
pie in the auditorium. He made brief
speech, in which he said:
"Love of flag and love of country are
not inconsistent with religious faith. l
believe that there is more love for our
country and that more people love the flag
than ever before. Wherever that flag is
raised it stands not for despotism and op-
preston, but for liberty opportunity and
humanity; and what that flag has done
for us we want TO do for all people and all
lands which by the fortunes of war have
come within its jurisdiction. That flag
does not mean one thing in the United
States and another In Porto Pico and the
Philippines.
"There has been doubt in some quarters
respecting the policy of the government in
the Philippines | see no harm in stating
it in this presence: Peace first; then,
with charity for all, establish a govern
ment of law and order, protecting life and
property and occupation for the well-beng
of the people who will participate in it
under the stars and stripes"
The great audience room rang with ap-
plause as the President finished.
At Pittsburg, Pa, on Monday, when
the President participated in the magni6-
cent welcome given to the Pennsylvania
10th regiment, just returned from the
Philippines, he stated more at length the
position of the United States toward the
Philippines. After paying a glowing trib-
ute to the battle Scared men who, paying
no heed TO the strict letter of their enlist
ment, served their country till their places
could be filled with new troops, Presi-
dent Mckinley said, speaking of the con-
test with the Philippine rebels:
"The first blow was struck by the in
surgents. Our kindness was reciprocated
with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser.
The flag of truce was invoked only to be
dishonored. Our soldiers we're shot down
when ministering to the wounded Filipi-
nos. Our humanity was interpreted as
weakness, our forbearance as cowardce.
They assaled our sovereignty, and there
will be no useless parley-nO pause, until
WIZ ihouiiC CSbiOu 10 ohPPiOSSSd ohN N hhOi
can authority acknowledged and estab-
lished. The misguided followers in rebel
lion have only our charity and pity. As
to the cruel leaders who have needlessly
sacrificed the lives of thousands of their
people, at the cost of some of our best
blood, for the qualification. of their own
ambitious designs, l will leave to others
the ungracious task Of justification and
eulogy."
This is explicit, and leaves no doubt as
to the determined policy of the govern
ment. The United States has undertaken
to be responsible for law and order in the
Philippines and there will be no backing
down and no halfway work. The people
of those islands can have all the privileges
Of free government within our power to
confer upon them, but first of all, and as a
condition of everything else, the rebellion
OF Aguinaldo must be su pressed.

The crisis in the South African republic
remains acute, President Kreuger resolute-
ly refusing to yield to the British demands.
He is said to have provisioned his house
for a siege, while he solaces and sustains
himself by frequently reading aloud the

ing men under arms, and the British are
hurrying forward reinforcements TO their
force of $4,000 men. "A speech delivered

A Great Sea Five Hundred Feet in the
Air,


Surrounded by hills and mountains,
away up in New Hampshire, is a great
lake, some % miles in length and with an
average width of seven miles, known as
Lake Winnipesaukee.
The shores of this lake is the abode of
thousands of summer tourists who delight
in the variety of scenic and social attrac-
tions with which this section abounds, and
the various steamers and pleasure craft
which ply over Winnipesaukee bring
Weirs, Centre Hsrbor, Bear Island, Long
Island, Wolfeboro and Alton Bay, and in
fact every part of the lake, into close COM
munication with all New England. The
Steamer Mount Washington is a commo-
dious craft, making regular trips over the
lake, and which trip is so decidedly inter-
esting and novel that one enjoys every
moment of the time taken for the tour.
Winnipesaukee is very irregular in shape
and its surface is studded by no less than
800 islands, some of them being mere dots
while Manhannock has an area of $50
acres.
1t is around and about these islands that
the steamer ploughs its way, and the prim-
tive ruggedness that the shore line pre-
sents is an ever changing panoramic effect
that has made Winnipesaukee renowned
as a scenic wonderland.
September is of all times the best to visit
the lake, for the autumn foliage and the
wonderfully clear atmospheric surround
ings are a combination that is sure to
bring delightful impressions.
The Boston e. Maine Railroad publishes
a Lake Book which tells of Lake Winnipe-
saukee and thereabouts interestingly, and
for two-cent stamp the Gen'l Pass'r
Dept, B & M. R. R., Boston, will send it

SHOT HIS STEP SON.
l.. q. Harris, SOmerset's Town
Clerk, Fired Revolver

After Passing the Lie with Charles N.
Door and LOd ged In Burnap's Arm---
Harris in Jail In Default of $500
Ball.
Chas. N. Burnap was shot in the arm at
Somerset Sunday by his step-father, Lewis
G. Harris. It seems that more or less bad
blood has been aroused in this family pre-
viously but on Sunday morning the mat
ter came TO a crisis about as follows: Mr..
Harris was writing in his room and carry
ing on a conversation with Burnap, who
was in an adjoining room, in regard to a
horse, and the lie was passed with consid-
cradle emphasis. Burnap attempted to
go into the room where Harris was and
placed his hand on the door latch where
upon bullet came crashing through the
door, hitting Burnap In the arm, lodging
near the elbow. Thinking that things
were getting too hot for comfort, Burnap
withdrew from the scene of conflict.
The matter was brought to the attention
of Town Grand Juror Fred Tudor, who
issued warrant for the arrest of Harris.
The complaint was made returnable be-
fore Justice Edward Titus of Wilmington.
Constable George Bond arrested darris
about midnight Sunday. On Monday the
hearing was held at the house of Mrs.
Burnap, o. E. Butterfield acting as coun-
sci on part of the state. Harris claimed
the shooting was accidental, but the facts
of the case are very much against this
cory. Harris was held for lis appear
snce before the grand jury at Newfane
and placed under $500 bail, which he failed
to furnish, and he was accordingly COM
mitted to jail on Monday by Constable
Bond of Searsburg.
Drs. Page and Gillett of Wilmington
probed unsuccessfully for the bullet in
Burnap's arm. The wound is not con-
sidered serious. The wound will be left
to heal without extracting the bullet. If
trouble develops afterwards the X-rays
will be used in locating the bullet and it
will be removed.
Harris has been the town clerk in Som
erset and has held other town offices.
Harris sent to The Phoenix the following
notice of the accident: L. G. Harris acci-
dentally fired off a revolver, striking G. n.
Burnsp in his wrist. He went to Will
mington to have the ball extracted. An
other case of foolish handling of small
arms.

More than thousand people visited the
Olympia at Nice last Sunday.

More than thousand people visited the
Olympia at Nice last Sunday.
John r. Mclean was nominated for
governor of Ohio by the Democratic state
convention Wednesday. The platform re-
affirms the Chicago platform of 1896, de-
mands the denomination of Bryan, de-
nounces trusts and condemns the action of
the Republican administration in making
war on the Filipinos.
Letters have been received from Admir-
al Dewey by the committee in charge of
the New York reception in which he ex-
presses his approval of the general plan.
His only suggestion is that it would be
gratifying to him and to the officers and
men to have the Olympia's battalion of
about $50 men placed at the head of the
column in the grand parade, and to have "a
good large military band detailed to fur
nish music for the battalion" The Ad-
miral also says that he is ''much pleased
for various reasons that you have eliminat-
ed dinner from the program"
1t is a strange fact that two artists have
died who were at work on two figures for the
triumphal arch which is to be one of the
great scenic features Of. the Dewey welcome
in New York. On Tuesday of last week Cas-
par Buberl was suddenly and fatally strick-
en-, just when he had finished medallion of
Dahlgren. Last Sunday morning another
artist, Giovanni Turini, modelling an heroic
figure of John Paul Jones, failed to join
his companions in the basement of Madison
Square Garden, and it was found that he
had died suddenly of heart disease at his
home on Morningside avenue.

Havana dispatches say that Cuban SEN
timent in favor of annexation to the Unit
ed States, or at least in favor of an Ameri-
can protectorate, is becoming more and
more apparent. The responsible men of
the island look with dlstrust and foreboding
on the possibility of the withdrawal of all the
American troops, to be followed by COM
plete independence, and they have despatch
ed two commissioners to Washington to lay
their views defore the government. The
change in sentiment in Cuba is notable on
all sides, as much by what is not said as
by what is said. The criticism by the
newspapers during the first few months of
American control, has almost entirely dis
appeared.

The experiment station at Burlington
has issued bulletin cautioning farmers
against being browbeaten or misled into
paying a royalty on so-called gravity or di-
luton separators. The bulletin says that
mo patent exists on any such process" it

1890, and "if any farmer wants to waste his
cream by the dilution process he can do so
without paying royalty to anybody"

Fatal Fire at Keene.

Fire, due to a defective fue, in the
house of Daniel +. and Timothy Kelleher
at Keene about 4.30 o'clock yesterday
morning, damaged the house and property
to the extent of about $1,000, and resulted
in fatal injuries to the latter.
The victim who is well advanced in
years, was found in the attic by the fire.
men almost suffocated by smoke. He was
taken in the ambulence to Elliot city
hospital, where he is dying.
He was a veteran of the civil war. The
confusion resulting from the fire and the
rescue of sick child of Daniel f. Kelle-
her doubtless led TO the neglect of the
grandfather long enough to produce fatal
results
