EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENTS.

Esterhazy Says Patty du Clam Deposited
Some with His Mother-in-Law.
PARIS, June 6.-The Matin publishes
an interview with Major Count Ester
hazy in which Esterhazy accuses Lieu
tenant Colonel Du Patty de Clam of
having, for safety, placed in his mother
in-law's house at Brussels, extraordinary
documents which protect them both,
notably long report by General Gonse,
discussing the plan to be followed in
order to screen Esterhazy.
The Mathis correspondent at Brus-
sells confirms the statement that Du
Patty de Clam left documents in the
possession of the d'Ursel family. Du
Patty de CLAIMS wife is daughter of
the Duchesse d'Ursel, grand mistress of
the queens household, and the queens
goddaughter.
The minister of war, M. Krantz, has
ordered proceedings to be taken against
Esterhazy for obtaining and using doc
uments connected with the so-called
"secret dossier' and the minister has
also issued instructions that proceedings
be taken against General Pellieux for
the manner in which he conducted the
Esterhazy case.
The minister of justice, M. Loubret,
has written to the president of the
chamber of deputies, M. Deschanel,
calling his attention to the reference in
the decision Of the court of cessation to
General Mercier's showing documents
connected with the Dreyfus courtmar-
tial, in order that the chamber may de-
eide whether Mercier is to be proceeded
against for an unlawful act committed
while he was minister of war.

The Presidents Reply.

The president responded as follows:

greatest qualification the letter by which
her majesty, the queen regent of Spain,
in the name of her august son, King
Alfonzo XIII, has accredited you near

"You will find, Mr.. Minister, cor
dial welcome in this country, not only
from those whose friendship you &C.
qaired during your former residence,
but from all our people who rejoice, as
I do, at the renewal of the ancient bonds
of amity which, with q brief interrupt
ton, have united our nation for more
than 100 years. That these friendly re-
lations may be confirmed and strength
ened, to the advantage of both peoples
is my earnest wish, and can assure you
that every member of this government
will heartily cooperate with you to that
desirable end. le.% e
1t was noticeable that DUO d'Arcos,
in referring to the qualification with
which Spain resumed the friendly re-
lations with the United States that had
existed for over 100 years, plainly said
that these relations had been broken by
war while the president spoke only Of
tina relations interrupted for a short
time.
At the conclusion of the address the
president stepped forward and SHOOK

Speech of the Duke.

"Mr. President: I have the honor to
place in your excellency's hands the
royal letter by which her majesty, the
queen regent of Spain, in the name Of
her august son, King Don Alfonzo XIII,
accredits me near this government, in
the capacity of envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary.
81 have come to renew the relations
Of friendship which have existed from
of old between Spain and the United
States and which were interrupted by
the war of last year. The treaty of
peace which Spain has signed put an
end to that war, and now, looking only
to the future, Spain desires that her
relations with this republic may be as
friendly as they were in times past, and
from the days in which this country
was struggling to gain is independence.
It is my task to contribute to the re-
newal of these relations, to strengthen
them and to draw them closer; and in
the discharge of it hope to be aided by
the kindness and cooperation of your
excellency and of your government"

1t is Bryan with the democratic
masses and will continue to be
Bryan. Last week there was a meet
ing OF the Tammany society OF
Flushing, in the borough of Queens,
Greater New York. In a speech the
name OF Bryan was mentioned.
Instantly the audience went wild.
A newspaper account says: "Nearly
every man present jumped to his
feet and whooped and cheered for
the Nebraskan. The uproar was
deafening." The organization leader,
P. J. Mara, was dismayed at the out
burst, and left the hall. Another
speaker tried to stir up enthusiasm
for Van Wyck, but without success.
The astonishing popularity Of Bryan
is a matter that worries machine
politicians and dodgers but is Salts
factory toeverybody else. Thegreat
son OF the West is sincere, strikes
straight from the shoulder, and can
not be swerved IRON his convictions
by motives OF expediency. And that
explains his hold upon the people.

The Duluth News-Tribune says a
newspaper or citizen that attacks
the government when it is at war ia
"a damned traitor" This is rather
sweeping. 1t seems to us that
there might be cases where to attack
would be patriotism instead of the
reverse. 1t depends what the at.
tack is, and what about. According
to the News. Tribune idea, a Turk
who protested against the treatment
OF the Armenians would be a traitor.
the French who protested against
the subjugation by Louis XIV or
Napoleon OF free peoples, were trail
tors; the Austrians who attacked
