BoURKE cocKRAN's ADVICE.
Believes the President Should Inter
fere In Transvaal Affair.

New York, Sept. 13.-Ex- CONGRESSMAN
w. Bourke Cochran has written the fol-
lowing open letter to President McKin-
ley about the Transvaal:
You will, | am sure. excuse this in
vdS1on of your holiday when I explain
that its object is the exercise of a power
which Providence seems to have placed
in your hands with special reference to
a danger now threatening the peace of
the world. 1t can hardly be questioned
that a proffer Of friendly mediation by
you would suffice to delay. if not pre-
vent, the threatened invasion of the
TranSvaal. If this government be JUS
tilted in exerting military force to re-
store order at the other side of the
globe, surely it should exert every
moral force to preserve order at half
the distance.
"A recourse to arms, which might
result in kindling a fearfully destruc-
tive confiagration throughout Christen-
dom on such questions as those at issue
between Great Britain and the Boer
republic, would be an injury to civilized
society which all the forces of civiIiza-
ton should combine to resist. The as
sertion at the point of the bayonet by
one power of a right to control or pre-
scribe the conditions governing the
electoral franchise in another country
admittedly independent, would be an
act of criminal aggression the enor-
nifty of which has been described in
clear, vigorous and scathing terms by
the present English colonial secretary.
You cannot be Indifferent to the fact
that when Mr.. Chamberlain denounced
as indefenSible any suggestion of inter
ference by the British government in
the purely domestic affairs of the
Transvaal, the relations between this
country and England were strained
over the Venezuela boundary, while
now that these relations have become
cordial. the same statesmansfeels en-

the production of the documents emu
merated in the bordereau.
lola affirms his absolute certainty
that a considerable number OF docu-
ments in Esterhazy's handwriting
which Esterhazy furnished to Schwarz-
koppen, are in the archives of the min-
istry of war at Berlin. He declares:
Germany, which tomorrow may be
an enemy of France holds in her
hands these irrefutable proofs of the
triple judicial error committed by the
courtmartial of 1884, and by the court
martial of 1898, when Esterhazy was
acquitted, and by the Rennes court
martial. In case of war Germany could
thus, at the very outset. dishonor the
French army in the eyes of Europe by
simply publishing these documents and
revealing the abominable iniquiuy of its
chiefs.
Diplomacy has already removed the
main difficulties. Germany is willing to
return the documents enumerated in
the bordereau whenever the French
government asks for them. These doc
uments constitute new faces which will
make necessary a second revision of the
Dreyfus case before the court of cassa-
ton. Should the government hesitate
to ask for the documents in question
they will nevertheless be surely forth
coming, for il justice shall not have
been accomplished before Nov. %, when
my trial begins at Versailles, even NJ
Labor viii pronounce the pleadings at
Versailles which it was impossible for
him to pronounce at Rennes."
Nine. Dreyfus fears that her hus-
bands health may soon break down
completely. Dreyfus nerved himself
up during the Rennes trial, but the re-
action is such that the physicians con-
slider his case hopeless. and say that any
day fatal collapse may ensue.
Meanwhile the Intervention of Presi-
dent Loubet, by according Dreyfus a
fun pardon, is regarded by those near
est the president as almost certain, and
this would be followed by executing the
policy of the sponge and wiping out all
old scores and reducing the pending
trials which originated in the Dreyfus
affair to mere empty formalities, re-
leasing Deroulede and his royalist COM
panions, and liquidating the whole sit

HIS SENTENCE IS COMMITTED
WYOMING SOLDIER CHARGED
WITH STRIKING CAPTAIN.
President Mckinley Saves His Life,
But Sends Him to Prison For
Three Years.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-Private Thorn
as McVeagh, company G, First Wyom-

courtmartial convened at linus, P. l.,
in June last, on the charge of striking
his superior officer. He was found
guilty and sentenced to be shot to death
with musketry at such time and place
as the proper authorities may direct,
two thirds of the court eoncurring in
the sentence.
President Mckinley has directed that
the sentence be committed to dishonOr-
able discharge, forfeiture of all pay
and allowances and confinement at
hard labor for the period of three
years.

pecially will she resent, as it is surely
her right, any uncalled for interference
with her internal administration and
any imprudent challenging of her ma

She was our friend when no other ma

UNEAsINEss AT CAPE TOWN.
Report That 10000 Irishmen Will.
Help President Kruger.

London, Sept. 13.-A special dispatch
to the Pail Mall Gazette from Cape
Town says: The British reply is re-
garded as equivalent to an uItimatum,
and the correspondents advices from
Pretoria Indicate that war is newt
able.
The report that the Rand Irishmen
have formed a corps to help President
Kruger is confirmed, and it is said at
Cape Town that a cablegram has been
received from New York saying 10, 900
1rishmen there are ready to help the
Transvaal
The Orange Free State burghers are
reported to be bitterly divided overt
merits of the controversy, and their
probable course in case of war;
A message from the secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, says
he understands the concessions made
in President Kruger's note of Aug. IS
have been withdrawn, on account of the
British attitude regarding suzerainty,
and adds:
Her majesty's government has abso-
lutely repudiated the view of the po-
Htical status of the Transvaal taken
by the TranSvaal government, claim
ing the status of sovereign state. and.
therefore, are unable to consider any
proposal made conditionally on their
dCc6plduCe OIL Ill1S view.
Continuing, the note saws that the
British government is satisfied that the
law embodying the proposed alternating
measures for Outlanders is inefficient to
secure immediate and substantial rep
resentation, which, it is understood. the
Transvaal admits to be reasonable. 1t
then says:
Moreover, the presentation of the
proposals in the note of Aug. indi-
Gates that the government of the South
African republic themselves recognized
that their previous offers might with
advantage be enlarged, and the indie
pendence of the republic thereby in no
way be impaired"
The exact franchise proposals which
Mr.. Chamberlain says Great Britain is
still prepared to accept with the court
of inquiry proviso, are five years fran
chise, share for the OutIanders in the
election of the president and equal
rights and increased representation for
the gold fields to the extent of eight
new seats. These were presented by
President Kruger Aug. IS, and later were
withdrawn.

The following passages from Zola'l

But For Universal Sympathy Dreyfus
Would Have Been Acquitted.

London, Sept. 13.-While the papers
are full of letters from individuals and
several firms, announcing their With
drawal from the Paris exhibition and
urging the government to do likewise,
there is no intention on the part of the
British government of taking any such
step. 1t says that it is also unlikely
that the present agitation will result
in any general withdrawal of British

For Gods sake, use your influence

I'm my opinion, much good would be

BIGGEST VESSEL AFLoAT.
Steamship Oceanic Arrives at New
York From Queenstown.

Star steamship Oceanic, the largest vessel
afloat, from Queenstown, arrived at her
pier in North river at las o'clock this
afternoon, and debarked her passengers.
A big crowd of those who had secured
passes to the dock and bigger crowd
which was kept back of the fences, cheer
ed the steamer as she crept up the river
and swung slowly into her berth.
Coming up from Liberty Island, the
boat appeared unwieldy and her tunnels
too high for symmetry, but as she came
closer, the impression of great length
grew clearer. 1t took six tugs forty min
utes to shove her bow around and force
the huge vessel into place. DOcked, she
filled almost the whole length of the long

this afternoon to take part in the dem

the returning Montana regiment. With
reference to the Dreyfus case, he said:
Every one deprecates a verdict
based on suspicion, without a scrap of
tangible evidence, and the whole world
is shocked at the infamy. But attention
will be speedily diverted to other
things, and the proposed boycott of the
exposition will not go beyond the ac-
ton of individuals. There will be no
government action, and certainly con-
gress will not withdraw American par

has been in ogden couple of days.
MIR. Miller stated to The Herald that

of it, although he has found many ex-
