Statement About Anti-Imperialist Con-
 ference in Chicago.

Boston, Mass, September H.-The Anti Imperalist League today issued the fol- lowing:
 Unauthorized statements having been made as to the objects of the anti-imper- ialist conference in Chicago October 17, it should be said that there will be no at tempt there al negotiating with any politi- cal party. It is hoped that this conference may plan for a systematic effort to estab- fish anti-imperial leagues and committees throughout the country with the intention of developing and crystalizng the opposi- tion to the presidents policy
 "It Is true that in doing this the anti imperalists must denounce MT. Mckinley individually because he unlawfully init lated the slaughter In the Philippines by his declaration of war December 21, 1898, at time when the United States was sol- emnly bound by the protocol to preserve the statu quo
 "It simplifes our efforts that because of this impregnable fact, neither the country nor any political party in 1t is responsible for McKinley's war or is in any way bound to support it. The anti-imperialists hope to arouse their fellow citizens to the issue which has been forced upon he people in the next national campaign, and for which they must select standard bearers

Disappoln, ed Me.lcans Are Riotous

Campeche, Mex, September H.-A grea, /, riot broke out here today, occasioned by the failure of the bul fight manager to fulfill his promises. He advertised fights with six fierce bulls and two Spanish pica- dors who were to do many of the highest feats of the bull killing art, Including leaping over the backs of the most savage animals. The show on opening was ex- actly opposite what was promised and six steers were introduced, which ran away from the bull fighters. The spectators near ly tore down the ring and tried to kill the performers, and the police arrested the manager, who is now In prison charged with perpetrating a fraud upon the public.

On Receiving the Sad News ol M.
 SCheureF KeStnef'S Death.
SENDS A WREATH FOR HIS FRIEND
His Delight At Everything on the Jour- ney Was That of Dead Man Re- J turning from the Grave to
 the World He Loved

London, September 21.-A correspondent of the Daily Mail who joined the Dreyfus party at Bordreaux and accompanied them to their new abode described Dreyfus as feeling bad, but not seriously i'll.
 When told of the great wave of British sympathy in his behalf he wrung the cor respondents hand and showed the deepest emotion. He ate meat yesterday for the first time. "It is against the doctors or ders" said Matthieu Dreyfus.
 "Ah," said the former captain of artil- lery, 'let me have a holiday today. l will be obedient again tomorrow. l am just like a boy now and feel that I could run and jump about the green fields for very joy. Just think, I now shall be able to laugh and play with children in the beautiful country"
 Celebrating the Holiday
 After the meal, despite his brothers half laughing protest he smoked several cigars ito celebrate the holiday" The sad note amid the rejoicing was the death of M. Scheurer- -Kestner
 'I am grieved beyond words said Cap tain Dreyfus, ito think that l shall never be able to thank that noble heart"
 One of his first acts on obtaining his dree- dom was to have a wreath sent to be placed on the coffin of his compan- ion and friend At present he speaks little of past events. He says:
 'I have forgiven, but l cannot for proving his innocence When that has been accomplished he will only ask to be allow ed to spend the remainder of his days with his loved ones, far from the busy world.
 "IIis delight at everything on the jour- ney," continued the Daily Mails core spondent, was that of man returning from the dead to the world he loved. The affection of solicitude of his brothers are touchings to see His physical weakness causes the deepest apprehension to his friends. The journey was in the main un- evenbful, except for a few expressions of disappointment on the part of the people who endeavored to get a glimpse of him.
 nreyfus With His Brother-in-Law
 Carpentras, Department of Vauclus, France, September 21.-Although the ar rival of Dreyfus at the home of Paul Vala- brogne his brother-in-law, who has been established as a cloth merchant here for quite number of years, was soon known, no demonstration occurred. Mme. Drey- fus is expected here tonight. While Drey- fus health does not permit of his receiving visitors, it is hoped the climate will re- store his strength during the next few months, which he is expected to spend
