OVER a HUNDRED ARRESTED.
Trouble Feared When the Troops
Move ON Canyon Creek.

Wardner Idaho. May 3.-With the ex-
ception Of last Saturday this has been the
most exciting day Wardner has seen.
Every hour in the day squads of color
ed troops, assisted by constables, have
been arresting dynamiters.
Tonight l0l had been arrested few
of them made show of resistance, but
the bayonets of the soldiers brought them
into line.
The troops are awaiting reinforcements
before making arrests at Canyon Creek,
as there may be trouble there.
Gen. Merriam is expected here to-mor
row morning, also the attorney general
of the state.
AS soon as the service of warrants be-
gan the rioters scrambled over the hills
in frantic efforts to escape. The prisoners
were marched TO camp Nearly all are
Italians and Swedes.
Forly-nine OF the Fourth Cavalry ar
rived here from Walla Walla to-day.
Coroner Franco has ernpanelled a jury
and the inquest ON the victims of the
mob began this afternoon.
No more roting is feared until arrests

Easily in 1900.

Cleveland, o.. May 3.-In an interview
here to-day Hon. Chauncey M. Depew
said that he favored the continuance of
Senator NJ A. Hanna as chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Speaking of the campaign of 1900, sena-
tor Depew said the Republican party
would have no opposition.
Bryan has read the New York Dem
ocrats out of the party, and they will not
again get together" he said.
What will be the Republican issue in
1902" was asked.
''The platform will reassert everything
the party has ever said, and the party
will declare in favor of expansion"
How about trusts?'
Undoubtedly the Republican party will
adopt a plank condemning trusts, and
also think the Democrats will adopt a
similar plank. The Republicans will re-
affirm their declaration for the gold stan
dard, and there is no doubt the Demo-
Gratis will again take up silver"

THEY WANT A MODIFICATION.
Purchasers of Jacobs Cigars Do Not

Purchasers of Jacobs Cigars Do Not
want to Pay the Tax.
Washington, May "A large holders oe
cigars purchased from Jacobs and Kendig,
and bearing counterfeit stamps, made per-
sonal application to the commissioner OF
internal revenue to-day 10 modify the con-
ditlons contained in his recent circular let
ter requiring innocent holders OF these
cigars to pay the tax before the cigars
Will be released from seizure; and this
was urged upon the ground that the gov
eminent was for quite a period of time
aware OF the existence of these counter-
felt stamps and their use, before the guilty
parties were arrested and their factories
seized.
The commissioner said that the relief
claimed was based on strong equitable
grounds and that he would grant II IL
II was In his power TO do so; but that the
law providing for the forfeiture of these
cigars left him no course open but that
OF accepting compromise which should
at least include the payment of the tax
by the holders of the cigars.
He suggested that these claims ap-
peared to be so strongly grounded in equi-
ty, however, that it would seem but just
and proper that the holders Of these ci-
gars should be allowed to file claims for
the refund OF the tax they were required
to pay with the view that these claims
should he called 10 the attention of Con-
gress, through the Secretary of the Treas
ury, with fun statement of all the facts,
and that such legislation should be recon-
mended as would authorize the commiS-
sloner to refund and pay back the tax
which should be exacted from these in
nocent holders of the Jacobs Kendig ci-
gars

UNDERHAND WORK DISCLOSED.
More Evidence That Dreyfus Was
Improperly Convicted.

Improperly Convicted.
Paris, May S.-Slowly but steadily the
ret is closing around the French general
taft in the Dreyfus revision inquiry.
Gen. Mercier, who was minister OF war
at the time Dreyfus was condemned, on
being called upon by M deFreycinet, the
present minister of war to produce the re.
port regarding The secret dossier which
Lieut.. Col. du Patty de Clam testified he
had sent TO MERCER, replied tina he had
destroyed ii, and he called Gen. Gonse
as a witness to the truth Of this state
ment.
Unfortunately for Mercier, Gen Gonse
had already testified before the Court of
Cessation that, although MERCER destroy
ed the original, he kept a copy.
Another anti-Dreyfus argument has re-
ceved its death blow. Gen. Zurlinden,
military governor Of Paris, and others,
while tesufying before the Court OF Cas-
sation, attached great importance to the
closing sentence of the bordereau.
Il am starting for the manoeuvers,"
as proving the guilt of Dreyfus and the
innocence of Esterhazy, inasmuch as the
staff probatloners were only notified on
Aug 70 that they would not be required
to attend the manoeuvers IL has now
been proved that this notification was ac-
tually dated May II. Therefore, Drey-
fus could not have written II am start
ing for the manoeuvers" In the following
August.
II is rumored that It was Lieut. Col.
du Patty de Clam himself who commun-
Gated to the Figaro the depositions made
before the Court Of Cessation

REPORT WHOLLY UNFOUNDED.
Mrs. George w. ChiIds VIII Not
Marry Gen. Wheeler.


Philadelphia, May S.-The Ledger VIII
tomorrow make an authoritative denial
of the widely published statement that
marriage was contemplated between Mrs.
George w. Childs and Gen. Joseph
Wheeler.
The denial of the truth of the report
was made to-day by Mrs. Childs to Mai.
]. NJ. Carson. the Washington corre-
spondent of the Ledger, who telegraphs
his paper as follows:
Several weeks ago a story was given
wide publicity through the newspapers to
the effect that marriage was contemplat-
ed between Mrs. George w. Chiids of this
city, formerly of Philadelphia. and Gen.
Joseph Wheeler of Alabama. This publ
cation caused Mrs Childs considerable
annoyance, but she refrained from making
any public denial from a mistaken belief
that the absence Of any foundation for
the story would cause 1t to pass from the
public mind and from an aversion TO add
ing to the publicity which denial would
bring.
''The revival of the mischievous story
embellished with details that have been
invented TO give it plausiblity has
brought additional annoyance and distress
to Mrs. Chlds and has induced her TO re-
consider the determination not 10 notice
the false report. In a conversation with
the Ledger correspondent this afternoon,
Mrs Childs, after expressing surprise at
the original story and indignation at the
persistence with which it has been ad-
hered to, requested that the fullest and
broadcast denial be given in the Ledger.
There was not at any time the slightest
foundation for the story, or justification
for its publication"
