martial. on leaving the court today said

day.
Maitre Demange. the principal ooun sci
OF Capt Dreyfus, In an Interview with
q representative OF the Associated Press
after today's session, expressed himself
a. very we'll oontented with the way n
which matters are proceeding and juig-
Ing from his manner, ono may say that
the defenders Of the accused have not
yet met anything very surprising or
alarming for him In the secret dossier.
Naturally Maitre Dsmanse declined to
give particulars respecting the contents
of the dossier, but he declared that he
and his colleagues. were satisfied OF the
conscientious desire OF the members ef
the court TO thresh tie whole matter out
and to have full light turned upon the
accusat Ions against their client.
This win take some time, and the end Of
the month will be reached before judg-
ment can be given.
Mssntime the strain Is telling ON Drey-
fus, who is showing evidently physical
distress.
SENSATION EXPECTED. n

A dramatic scene Is anticipated by the

FIRST day at Hotel Champlain very
quietly. The president took q long
walk through the park surrounding the
hotel. He was alone. Later he took
another long walk. He keenly enjoyed

beautiful view of lake and mountain
scenery.
The president received official notice
of the death of President Heureaux of

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Eeutenant
Eberly, flag lieutenant of the Oregon
under Captain Barker, arrived in Wash
ington nom the Philippines.
Lieutenant Eberly SAID Manila has
been cleaned on an American plan, the
military authorities engineering the
work with a large force of Cinnamon

have been cleared of ancient accum ula-
tions OF filth and there has been a
house-to-house inspection, which is still
continuing. There has been more or

KANSAS CITY, July 2S.-The tragic
scene which attended the death of Cor.
poral Leonard f Hayes, America s
only traitor i'll the Philippines, was
witnessed by Sergeant George A. La
marsh of Company H, Twentieth Kan
sas volunteers. now in this city.
Corporal Hayes, he said, became en-
anored OF Filipino beauty, and, de-
serting his comrades, was placed in
charge OF !, Filipino battery with the
rank OF lieutenant. He met his death
in almost the first engagement in which
he fought against his country. Speak
ing OF this battle, Sergeant Lamarsb
said:
.' We had charged the Fihpinos, driv-
ing them back and killing and wound
ing many Among the wounded left
on the field we found Hayes. He was
recognized by several of the boys. One
of the soldiers OF the Second Oregon
drove his bayonet through the body of
the wounded traitor, and lifted him
above his head and held hrm there
while the soldiers shot him. The body
was thrown into a trench and buried
with several dead Fihpinos. We

FARLEY
Has Been Threatened
For Preventing Councils
Investigation
Of the Railway Strike at
Cleveland.
B. & O. Tunnel Caved In Near
Cambridge.
Hanna Transfers Property TO the
Steel Trust.

CLEVELAND, July 28.-Mayor Far
ley purposes to finish the campaign
against lawlessness in Cleveland on the
lines he has laid down and he will not
tolerate any interference. That was
made clear at the special meeting OF the
city council, when the attempt TO insti-
tute an Investigation Of the strike on
the Big Consolidated street railway
lines by special committee of that body
was defeated.
Mayor Farley opposed the proposed
action IN Il vigorous speech, in which he
declared that the appointment of the
special committee would interfere with
the plans of the executive fGf the crush
ing out of disorder. He said the only
result could be to keep alive the agita,
ton and that no good purpose would be
served.
Several of the councilman favored the
appointment OF the committee, but
when the resolution came to a vote it
was lost.
Many of the strike sympathizers
have been very bitter toward Mayor
Farley. In public meetings they have
charged him with responsibility for the
present trouble and threats against
his life have been made. This has led
him to provide guard for his residence
on Euclid auenue and detectives watch
the house every night.
The presence of the troops had de-
pressing effect upon the rioters. The
cars were operated on nearly all lines on
nearly the usual schedules, but in some
parts of the city they ran almost empty,
the boycott of the lines by the working
people being almost universal. Presi-
dent Everett says, however, he does not
believe the boycott effective. He thinks
people are deferred from riding by the
fear Of personal injury, and he says that
as soon as the safety of passengers is as
sured the cars will be well filled as US
ual.
The boycott has extended to the SOL
dlers. Merchants are refusing to sell
them any supplies and representatives
of organized labor refused to patronize
anybody who takes soldiers money
for anything or supplies any of
his wants. The mayors of the sub
urban villages held meeting at which
the presence Of the troops In Colling-
wood and South Brooklyn was dis
cussed. The mayors of both those
hamlets SAID the troops were not
needed.
The troops were Withdrawn from COL
hnwood on the promise of the mayor to
preserve order there.
1t had been announced that there
would be meeting of strike sympa-
thizers in the public square and the po-
lice had been instructed to prevent il.
1t appeared, however, that the an
nouncement was unauthorized.
The coroner's inquest into the killing
of Henry Cornzweit last Monday by a
non-union conductor named Ralph Haw-
ley has been IN progress for two days.
All the witnesses who have testified
thus lar have told practically the same
story, which is to the effect that the
shooting was unjustifiable, the boy hav-
ing done nothing which would have
warranted a resort to violence on the
part of the conductor.

The soldiers i'll and around Manila are
now well housed i'll permanent quarters

The rains had not started i'll earnest
when Captain Barker and Lieutenant
Eberly sailed for home. 1t was well
understood then that the rains would
cut oil all transportation except by rail
way, and that is given as the reason for
Ihwton' S abandoning San Isidro, there
being a big swamp between it and the
railway that is impossible during the
rains.

All Differences Between Two Depart

''All differences concerning the
publication for the Fire and Police
Departments having been satis-
factorily settled between the
Firemen and Policemen by
an agreement to give the proceeds of
the book to the poor fund of the city
for use during the coming winter
and since it is the earnest desire of
the members of both departments
and others that the work, which will
be a handsome and creditable publi-
cation, shall be completed, that the
records and "reminiscences may be
put in shape for permanent preser-
vation, and that those of our citizens
who have become primarily
interested in its issue, may not un-
justly lose anything, we, therefore,
recommend that it be completed and
respectfully ask the friends and pa
irons of the Fire and Police depart
ments not to withdraw their support
and cooperation, believing the char
acter of the work will be such as to
justify their highest expectations
and that it will serve good purpose
in laying foundation for the future
history of these two important
branches of the municipal govern
ment, as well as aid materially the
poor fund.
"Since all questions have been set
tied, we heartily recommend the
work and trust those patronizing it

support to the end that it may be a
proper success.

kgRON's FAIR.

The plans for the great Free Street
Fair and Carnival to be given by
Akron's enterprising merchants and
manufacturers on the business
streets of the city six weeks hence,
are beginning to take definite form.
Mr.. P. E. Werner, chairman of the
Executive Committee, informs the
DEMOCRAT that Akron people have
no idea of what an immense event
the Fair is going to be. Assurances
are had that every day will bring
upwards of fifty thousand people to
the Fair.
The task of arranging for the enter
tainment and accommodation of
such multitude is stupendous, but
it is in the hands of competent men
and is certain to be a brilliant sue
cess.
This is going to be Akron's Fair
and every citizen will be glad to help
promote it. There will be no money
getting features for private gain.
The good resulting from the Fair will
be reaped by Akron and all her citi-
zens. This explains why the Com
mittee that is now soliciting pledges
of support from the public spirited
business men and citizens is meet
ing with such splendid encourage
ment.
The members of the Executive
Committee want to have
few thousand dollars in reserve
in addition to the $4,000
guaranty fund, that they may not
be handicapped in their efforts.
Citizens who subscribe literally to
the Committees support will be
more than recompensed by the
advantages Akron will derive from
the Fair.
