LEXINGTON, Ky, July 13.-The Repub-
lican State Convention adjourned tonight
after being in continuous session since
a. m. What was called the Deboe-Taylor
slate was for the most part ratified. Re
fore the convention assembled most of the
delegates We're for Taylor for Governor,
and when the nomination for Governor
was reached about all OF them were for
Taylor.
The candidates for minor places on the
State ticket were not of the same accord,
SO there were contests between the TaY-
lor men for the same places. In these
contests there was a vociferous flow OF
Kentucky oratory. In the contest for At
torney General there were forty-seVen
speeches by actual count, and during the
day there were over 300 speeches.
After the presentation speech for each
candidate for the different places there
was such a series of secOnding speeches
that il seemed like a ballot would never
be reached. The ballots were not counted
completely. Counties would change their
votes TO the leading ones or to the win
ners and then followed another series OF
speeches in withdrawing the names of
those who ran behind.
The presentation of Taylor's name by
his leading opponent, Colonel S. H. Stone,
with the seconding of the same by Judge
Pratt, his other opponent, was dramatic
scene. but the most exciting time of the
convention was during the contest for
Attorney General. The Taylor men. who
had been making the race for that nomi-
nation. objected to being sidetracked by
one who had failed for another nominal
ton, and they made an aggressive fight.
Senator Deboe, General Taylor and their
close friends were active workers in the
hall during the baIloting for Attorney
General. They wanted Judge Pratt on
the ticket. and they finally nominated him
by an overwhelming majority. Judge
Pratt was the favorite Of the coIored
delegates for Governor.
w. S: Taylor is 46 years old. He was a
poor farmer boy, and taught school
before he became County Clerk in 1882
While in office he studied law and after
ward was elected Judge. He has been a
member of the Republican State Com
mittee since 1886, and was a delegate to
the National Republican Convention in
Chicago in 1888, He was elected Attorney
General four years ago. when William c.
Bradley was elected Governor The lat
ter did not attend the convention here this

delegates were shown one of the COM
bined reapers and threshers worked by
means of steam. The lands that have
been reclaimed along the sides of the
river were pointed out as of especial IN
terest.
One of the most interesting events or
the day was an explanation by II. w.
Wiley chief chemist of the United states
Department of Agriculture. who num-
Der of years ago was stationed al Union
Island when the Department of Agrfcul-
ture was operating an experiment sta
ton there upon a small scale, upon the
result of the agriculture possibilities OF
the land along the river. AT that time
DR. Wiley was experimenting with q view
of ascertaining just what kind of vege-
tation the land best suited to, and
the very products that he reported could
be raised are the ones that to-day are
the main sources of revenue to the farm
ers of the section. DIR. Wiley said that
the richness of the soil of the islands, as
we'll as the land along the river, is such
that 1t is capable of producing anything.
He said that rice can be successfully
raised in this soil. and that when he was
last here he determined the fact by sue
cessful experiments.
Professor Wickson of the university,
who is familiar with this country, also
explained many of its wonderful posi-
bilities. The visitors spent the entire day
upon the boat. They were accompanied
by j. A. Filcher, secretary of the State
Board of Trade, who joined them several
days ago and will continue with them
until the inspection of the State is com
pleted

SIOUX INDIANS
RESIST ARREST
Violate the Law in Kill
ing Game.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

EDGEMONT, S. D.. July 13-Swift
Bear, Sioux Indian, and several bucks
resisted arrest on Buck Greek, Wyoming,
for killing game contrary to law.
Amos Demming. Deputy Sheriff of Con-
verse County and a posse left Lusk on
Wednesday with warrants for the arrest
of the Indians and overlook them at Buck
Creek Thursday morning. After reading
the warrants the Indians refused to go
with the Sheriff and drew a line and
told him if he crossed it there would be
war, and backed it up with their Win
chesters.
Being outnumbered. the Sheriff went to
Edgemont to get help and papers for
the arrest of the Indians in South Da-
kota. as they had crossed the line. Dep
uty Sheriff George Miller of Edgemont
will go out with them in the morning
with an increased force.
Sheriff Demming telegraphed the Indian
agent at Pine Ridge to have a force of
Indian police go out and intercept the
Indians If they got away from the Edge
mont and Wyoming posse, and it is ex-
pected that the Indians will be overtaken
somewhere near the agency, as they
crossed Cottonwood Creek, near Edge
mont, this afternoon and are travelling for
all they are worth.
The Indians went through the sheep
herd of n. S. Tubbs this afternoon and
stole all the herders' bedding and food

THE RIOTS
At WARDNER
Witnesses in the Corcoran
Case Give Interesting
Testimony.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WALLACE, Idaho, July 13.-The tes-
tfmony in the Corcoran case to-day was
of the same general nature as that
brought out yesterday. The prosecution
called a large number of witnesses to
prove the alleged conspiracy. Several
witnesses from Burke and Mullan de-
tailed the occurrences of April 20. They
were nearly all members of the miners
unions, and with few exceptions were
Scandinavians whose knowledge of the
English language was very imperfect
The evidence showed that on the morn
ing of the 29th the miners at Burke and
MuIlan coming off the night shift were
met by a committee who instructed
them to meet at the union hall at .
o'clock The day men were similarly
instructed.
At the Mullan meeting the question OF
masking was discussed and voted down,
the men declaring they were American
citizens and were going to do notnlng
of which they were ashamed. The Wit
nesses all understood the visit to Ward
ner to be for the purpose of giving
moral support to the strikers 1t was
brought cut however, that masks ana
guns were furnished the men in the
union hall at Burke and that the Null
Ian delegation procured quantity Of
arms from a barn while on the way TO
wallace to meet the train.
DR. l. S. Collins of Burke gave some
testimony which went far toward snow
ing guilty knowledge and intent on the
part of the Burke miners. he was re
turning along the railroad from a @Vlsl. @
to a patient and had to pass the rioters

ordered by masked men to get aboard.
He pleaded professional duties, but was
told that his patients could look after
themselves, and that he might De

down to the Bunker Hill concentrator
and was directed to the spot Where lay
the body of Smith, who expired mo-
ment after the arrival OF the physl-
clan.
Joe Riddle, precocious youth OF 13
living at Mullan, related how his
mother had told him there was going to
he trouble at Wardner, and that to see
the fun he had accompanied the men on
the day Of the riot. Witness proved to
be an intense sympathizer with union
ism and created considerable laughter
bv telling how he had lacked up Sim

the youth to school. The boy has been
under arrest for some time, but de-
clared he would rather take chances
with the "dynamiters than the Bunker
Hill crowd"

WARRANT FOR ARREST
OF LEON M. STRAUSS
Former San Jose Attorney Charged

SAN JOSE, July 13.-A warrant was

charging Leon M. Strauss, until re-
Gently an attorney in this city, with
perjury The, complainant is Waldo 3.
Allen, who had some business dealings
with Strauss During the month of
January Sylvia Allen, wife of the COM
plainant, filed a suit for divorce from
her husband and engaged Strauss as
her attorney. The differences were
patched UP and the suit dismissed,
Allen agreeing to turn over his prop
erty and money amounting to about
S1100
The transferring Of this was left to
Strauss. and it is alleged that when
the settlement was completed the bank
account was $400 short. Strauss ex-
PLANTATION was that he took the money
as a fee, and Allen and wife were in
luck that he did not take $500. Strauss
was subsequently sued by the Aliens
for $299. On supplementary proceed
ings he declared under oath that he had
no money or property due him. Allen
afterward unearthed a receipt given by
Strauss for some $50 that was due him
at that time Strauss is now in San
Francisco, where it is said he is taking
minor parts on the stage at the Alca-
zar. A warrant for his arrest was for

1t goes without saying that the entire
correspondence should be read to appre-
ciate their pathos and the hopeless trag-
edy of the writer's lot. The extracts which
this article contains will give some con-
ception of their general character. They
also give for the first time an intimate
author 1t will be perhaps best to begin
IN the second letter of the series, dated
December 5, 1894, when Dreyfus as yet
had hardly realized the danger that men
aced him.

for one thing alone to avenge my country to
who has snatched from us our dear Alsace, and
then to be accused Of treason against that
country-no my loved one, my mind refuses
to comprehend it! Do you remember my telling
YOU how when I was in Mulhouse. ten years

of Sedan? My grief was such that wept;

the grief of Alsace.
