INDIGNATION MORE INTENSE.
However, Unless Congress Forblds,
This Country Will Continue Prep
arations for Exhibit at
Paris.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The indigna.
ton over the Dreyfus verdict is becoming
more intense, but unless Congress express
" forbids it, however, this government
will proceed with the preparations for the
exhibit at the Paris Exposition, and will
send to Paris such government exhibits as
are decided upon, but this will be done
with realization of the probability that
much of the space secured with such diff
Guilty for private American exhibits, will
be left vacant. Little doubt is felt that
the latitude allowed the private citizen
will be quite extensively availed ofto with
draw from participation in the exposition,
but that the government is too far COM
mitted to be able to withdraw, unless
meanwhile a revolution should actually
occur in France.
Congress is not always controlled by
consideration of fine points of international
courtesy, however and it IL regarded as
likely that there will be difficulty in pre-
venting a resolution OF withdrawal from
being adopted, but if it should be.adopted
it is not likely that the president would be
disposed to sign it, unless some reason 9TH
er than the internal affairs of France her
self should be assigned. There is alum
ant reason to believe that strong feeling
will be manifested in congress and that
determined effort will be made to give an
expression ofdisapproval Of the disposition
that has been made of the Dreyfus case.
Another difficulty in the way of an eff
ort to prevent participation in the exposi-
itlon, however, will be found in the fact
that before congress has assembled much
of the government exhibit will probably
be packed and on its way to Paris, if moi
actually there. The exposition opens in
April, and the work Of transporting and
preparing the exhibit will have to begin
some months before that time. Up tc
this time it is said the preparation Of the
government exhibit has not begun but the
work will proceed as soon as the govern
ment officials are ready.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

A conference was to have been held in
Chicago yesterday to consider the trust
question. Its object is TO try to decide
whether trusts are beneficial or detriment-
al to the public, and if injurious how they
can be controlled by legislation. There
may possibly be chance to determine the
first proposition, but the last will be diff.
cult Of solution.
You never hear any complaints from the
soldiers in the Philippines, who have done
or are now doing the fighting. The COM
plants that are heralded to the world by
the Aguinaldists come from camp follow
ers, deserters and towards.
The South continues to progress and
prosper, though Southern craftsmanship
does everything it can to prevent it.
Mr.. Bryan has declared himself an ex-
pansionist, but not an imperialist. Who
in this country is for imperialism? The
American imperialist is phantom, con.
jured up by the demagogic brain of
William Jennings Bryan.
The conviction of Dreyfus meets with
stern disapproval throughout the civilized
world. If there was nothing else to prove
that he is an innocent man, the miserable
farce which was called trial is enough to
convince any intelligent mind that he is
not guilty. French courts and justice, as
illustrated by the Dreyfus trial, will here
after be held in great contempt. France
may need other reforms, but none SO bad
| ly as the manner in which she administers
| Justice in her courts.
Governor Tyler in an interview at Rich
mond is reported to have said that he de-
precates Independent movements in the
interest of his candidacy. Is it possible
that the Governor is 80 foolish as to think
he can beat Martin by strictly adhering to
tue Slate organization which is Martins
peculiar machine? If he expects to do
that, Mr.. Tyler will be the worst fooled
man that ever ran in Virginia for Office.
Congressman Epes, of the Fourth Vir-
ginia District, in a recent interview in
Washington said: "Governor Tyler's
claims are absurd to every man who has
the least knowledge of the situation in Vir-
ginia, "and he thinks it strange the Cover
nor should haye ever deluded himself into
the idea that he has the least chance OF
succeeding Martin. No one is better
qualified to speak as to the situation in
Virginia than Mr.. Epes, for no one knows
more about the capacity of the Martin ma
chine than does this repeatedly fraudu-
lently elected Congressman from Virginia.
No wonder he is astounded at Tyler's de.
lusion.
The Richmond Times continues to advo-
cate two things that it virtually admits
will never be done. One is to have the fif-
teenth amendment to the Constitution
repealed, and the other is to persuade the
Democracy to desert Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. 1t is strange that paper
as able as the Times will persist in wasting
its strength in advocating what it must
know is unattainable.

HATFIELDS' FORT TAKEN.
How Devil Anss and two of His
Followers Were Taken.

dispatch Of Monday from Williamson
w. Va, gives the following particulars o
the capture oftthe Hatfelds, referred to il
yesterdays press dispatches: The olt
Hatfield fort, which has become famous a
the stronghold of the Hatfield clan, wa
captured today and Devil Anse Hatfield
Bob Hatfield and John Dingass were made
prisoners.
East bound passenger train No. IL
which passed here about noon, carried OF
it Sheriff Henderson and party of ten of
fcers from Logan county When it reach
ed this place it was quietly boarded by
Deputy Sherifis Peek and Klag of thii
county, Prosecuting attorney Peck, o.
Logan county and two others. The party
was very quiet and undemonstrative and
the fact they were posse in pursuit oi
any one Was known by veiy few persons
on the train or along the road.
They reached Wharncliffe, their object
i've point, thirty miles east of here, about
l:30 O'Clock, and at once hastened to the
fort a short distance away. All i'll the
party are determined men and they were
we'll armed.
The fort was at once surrounded and
each opening was covered by Winchester
held by man whom the Hatfislds have
sworn to kill The occupantsof the fort
showed fight, but their surprise was COM
plete AMI they finally surrendered without
any one being injured.
Sheriff Peck then telegraphed the news
to Judge Doolittle, who is holding court
here, and asked for means to convey the
prisoners here. The sherift's party and
his prisoners are expected on the first
freight train from the east. The news Of
the capture created great sensation here,
as it was believed that tile Hatfeds would
never by taken alive. A number of men,
bers of the clan were here attending court
and witnessing the trial of Elias Hatfield,
Jr., who killed H. E. Ellis, and it is posi-
BILE that they will attempt to effect res
cue when the party reaches here. The
party will at once be greatly strengthened
to defeat such all attempt.
In the party were some of the men who
few weeks ago kidnapped to Kentucky
Bill and Tom Hatfield, and against whom
for their act the other Hatfelds had sworn
vengeance; and with them were some
Masons, of Logan Lodge, of which Ellis,
who was killed by Elias Hatfield. Jr.. was
member.
Cap Hatfield was in the fort short
time before the party reached it, but was
not found and is still at large. Dingass is
Bob Hatfield son-in-law, and Bob is son
of Devil Anse and brother of Cap and
Elias, Jr. Bob and Anse are wanted in
Kentucky on old murder charges connect
ed with the Hatfield Mccoy feud of years
ago. They will be taken there and will
probably be convicted and hanged. Their
capture breaks the backbone of the band
and it is thought that the arrest of Cap
and Troy, and the young boy,will be easy.
With these two captured the band, which
for years has been menace to good order
in this part of the State, will be complete
ly broken up.

Rennes, Sept. 8. Capt. Alfred Dreyfu
was today found guilty of high treason
and sentenced to ten years imprisonment
III military fortress. Colonel Jouast an
nounced the verdict amid wild excitement
and troops were quickly massed for fear Of
an outbreak.
The vote of the court martial was five to
two for conviction. The verdict occasion
ed little surprise, as it was conceded after
yesterdays session that accused would be
condemned despite the lack Of conclusive
evidence of his guilt. An appeal will be
taken.
Demange concluded his wonderful ad'
dress at 1l:35 this morning and the court
martial adjourned until three, when Car
riere briefly replied, and the court retired
to deliberate on verdict.
Loud clapping of hands greeted the con-
clusion of Demange's address. Dreyfus
vas MSpassive but as he left the stage ne
said 10 those around, 81 am not guilty"
Bayonets clashed on all sides of the
Lycee.
A triple row of gendarmes guarded the
door. OF the room to which Dreyfus was
taken as soon as Demange finished his ad'
dress. Nobody was allowed to approach
this door on any pretext, and the police
kept watch on every one in the court
room. Three thousand troops arrived
last night. There are now eight thousand
troops here.
Dreyfus having already served four years
and eleven months on Devils island, will
have to spend little less than five years
in prison, but he will also have to suffer
degradation.
The widest excitement prevails and
fears of serious rioting are entertained.
