NAVY TO HELP.
Entire New Plan of Operation
In the Philippines.

Washington, Sept. 9-GeneraI Otis
has been instructed in framing his plan
of campaign for the dry. season, to al
low for the fullest participation of the
naval forces now in the Philippines,
and as soon as he has been heard from
the necessary orders will go forward to
the naval commander to cooperate
with the army to an extent not before
contemplated. The naval officers have
always been willing to do this, but they
have been restrained in their operations
by an indisposition to interfere in any
manner with the plans of the military
commander. The ships will undertake
to capture any of the ports now in in
surgent possession that may be desired
by the army and also to hold them in
definitely, thus making it possible to
open the railroad on LuzOn from the
northern extremity; while in Cavite
province, with the large forces of ma
rines now on hand, it is believed that
the navy can undertake to relieve the
soldiers stationed there and make avail
able a considerable force for other op-
eratiOnS.

manual, which he said were purely hy-
pothecal, NJ. Demange continued en-
phatically: '.The prosecution has no
right to rest content with hypothesis.
We are in a court of justice. The de-
fense alone has the right to say it is
impossible. 1t is the duty of the public
prosecutor TO produce evidence, but he
has adduced none against DreyfuS."
After showing that the prisoner had
never seen the '120 short field gun
fired, counsel read letters from Ester
hazy proving that the latter attended
the Chalons camp and probably wit
messed the trials
But the prosecution" added NJ
Demange, had not to choose between
Dreyfus and Esterhazy. It had only to
prove DreyfuS guilty and could not do
so. On the contrary we have shown
that DreyfuS did not possess the dOcu-
ments communicated nor the informa-
tiOn contained in them" Dealing
with the note referring to the covering
of troops, NJ. 'Demange pointed out Gen.
Mercier's change of front on this sub
ject. In 1894. the general contended
that it was with reference to the COM
mandS of the troops that the leakage
occurred, while he now asserted that it
was regarding the mobilization and
transport of the troops The proSecu-
tiOn had thus advanced two versions
which must cause the judges terrible
searchings of conscience, especially as
no proofs had been furnished. What
right had the prosecution to advance
statements without cOfrODOraUlOn:
Counsel put it to the conscience of the
judges and he had asked this of Gen
Mercier himself.
Continuing to plead with great
warmth and eloquence and with close
1y reasoned arguments, which were fol-
lowed with breathleSS interest by the
entire audience. NJ Demange declared
he did not believe in the completely of
Henry and Esterhazy, for Henry was
honorable and loyal If he had been
the accOmplice of ESterhazy, Henry
would have destroyed the bordereau.
Possibly Henry had inadvertently di-
vulged information to Esterhazy under
the impression that he was conversing
with an honorable, straight forward
man like himself and discovering in
1898 that he had placed his hands in a
traitors, he committed a crime upon
which counsel declined to enlarge, since
the perpetratOr had paid for it with

overlooking of the rivers will prevent
military operations.
He concludes by saying that the hot
sickly weather coming after will prove
more fatal than the Mausers.
MOVEMENT OF TROOPS BEGINS.
London, Sept 9.-The Northumber-
land fusiliers will embark next Satur-
day for Cape Colony, leaving from
Southampton.
The first royal Sussex regiment has
been. ordered to be ready to embark
within three days.
An infantry brigade with a division
of field artillery from Aldershot with
IS guns, has been ordered to leave for
the Cape in ten days.
This movement of troops is said to
be merely in line with the decision of
the cabinet council to send TO- 900 SOL
diers to South Africa.

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
Of the Final Day of the Dreyfus
Trial

Rennes, Sept. i9.-The following is a
detailed account of. the proceedings:
Maitre Demange resumed his plea for
the defense shortly after 7:3O o'clock a.
m He began by saying: when yes
terdays sitting was ended I was about
to deal with what is called the direct
evidence, namely the technical value of
the bOrdereau.
The prosecution by taking separate-
ly each of the notes containing inform
alton supplied by the writer of that
bOrdereau deduced the opinion that
DreyfuS alone could have cOmmunica-
ted information in the documents If
he had al his disposal proof of this he
should have given it. 1t devolves upon
the public prosecutor to prove that
Dreyfus possessed this information and
nobody but he. That is how the ques-
tion must be put. We are before a
court of justice, with which supposi-
tlOnS have no place. In order to pro-
duce proof, 1 must ask and we must
know what was the information sup
Piled Consequently we must have the
notes delivered. otherwise we have to
deal with a hypothesis.
THAT is my first objection, to which
challenge the public prosecutor to re-
ply
Counsel remarzing that the hypothe-
sis accepted in 1894 could not now be
maintained proceeded to minutely ex-
anime the theories of the headquarters
staff especially Gen. Roget's whose ar
ilarly analyzed the evidence of General
Mercier. reiterating the arguments as
to the utter imprObability of an artil-
lery man employing the incorrect terms
used in the bOrdereau in connection
with artillery matters.
Counsel then reviewed the well
known facts in the case showing that
Col Schwartzkoppen. the German mill
tary attache at Paris supplied informa-
tiOn to his government years before. re
garding the "120 short" field. He sail
that only the internal construction of
the brake of this gun remained secret:
but Dreyfus knew nothing about it and
never asked for information on the sub
ject from the few officers knowing it
Therefore counsel contended, Dreyfus
could not have betrayed this secret
Regarding the practical tests of the
gun, NJ. Demange, continued Dreyfus
was similarly ignorant. Gen. Mercier's
statement that Dreyfus attended the
trial should be dismissed,as it had been
proved that the only leakage resulting
from those trials had been furnished
by the spy Grenier. 1t was thus ap-
parent into what error all the witnesses
supporting the prosecution had fallen.
Their opinions had been most imper-
fectly formed and the judges must be
on their guard against it, honest sin
cere as it doubtless was
After refuting the imputations
against Dreyfus based on the firing

ONE GRAND OVATION.
Twentieth Kansas Train Will

The trip of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment from San Francisco to Topeka Will

The people of the towns along the way
will insist upon stops being made, and ar
rangements will probably be made to ac-

SOULS NEED NO SAVING
DR.. Hungerford Declares Preacher
m Trying to Save Us Tha
They May BE Saved.

DR.. c. L. Hungerford read a paper before
the Universal Brotherhood last night on
the subject: Masters of Wisdom"
Every entity in the universe he said,
bears the same relation to some other
entity hat a pupil does to his teacher.
and their interdependence is as mutual and
complete. This is well established by
viewing nature and evolution by the pla-
tonic or deductive method. We well recog-
nixe the fact that all vegetable life de-
ponds for its existence upon the so-called
Inorganic kingdom and as the mineral
kingdom gives up its structure for the sus-
tenance of the vegetable. so does 1t gain
the opportunity for larger growth and
embodiment itself. This is manifestly so
with the animal and vegetable kingdom.
No man who still requires food and
drink could for a momen deny the prop
osition. Evolution. to be at all thinkable,
demands that everything from protoplasm
to Pope must possess in potentiality all
that is. also that there be no gaps. no
missing links. for If a gap existed any
where. there is no conceivabl BILE reason why
that gap hould ever be filled up.
How absurd the effort of the preachers
when they talk of saving souls. Souls

trying to save us that they themselves

OF ROBERT BURNS.
The Universal Hear Grown Eloquent
With Sacred Passi0n-The Com.

Consummate Flower.

Rev. DR.. J.. E. Roberts preached an elo-
quent sermon yesterday on Robert Burn"
at the Church Of This World.
Robert Burns was the first-born of the
people, he said. when we say the peo-
pie. what do we mean? In the poets time
the people were called the vulgar herd and
above them, fattened on their toll, enriched
by their poverty, were the classes that had
the insolence to assume a superiority. This
people is interesting. Whence did it come?
How different their rise and emergence
upon history's field from that Of the So
called higher classes! What secret COM
pact or covenant had destiny made with
those born in palaces that she had not
made with the children Of the poor mans
home? At the timo of Robert Burns the
people had not arisen to self-consciousness.
They were submerged. They lived in dark
ness. They had reached that last word Of
the abyss. 'stupor.'
Fifty years before Burns was born the
first daily paper was issued In London. 1t
was a single sheet but a little larger than
ones hand. The editor was not able to fill
all, the space. The entire aggregate cir

THE INSPIRED ARTISAN.
Character of Baxelel. Who Worked
ON the Tabernacle.

'Bazalel, The Inspired Artisan was the
title of Rev.. Mr.J.S .Kirtley's sermon at the
Westport Baptist church yesterday. Il
have found said Rev. Mr.. Kirtley. in be-
ginning. while travelling back over the
track OF history, a man living $500 years
ago. who was ne true type of consecrated
genius. 1t is BaZelel. who In connection
with Sholial, did the fine artistic work of
the Tabernacle. that remarkable tent made
of exquisite fabrics. l find in him a man
in whom the Christian business man of to-
day is happily anticipated.
His constituencies was inspired by the
belief that he was doing Gods work. He
was not the kind who believe that God
calls only prophets and great leaders. but
went on the conviction that every man
was called by God to do some useful work
and do 1t with the t~horoughness betting
the source of his commands
