THE PRICE OF COAL
Is To High To Induce MdnufdC-
turing Concerns To Locate

If the railways entering this city
from surrounding coal fields feel dis
posed to help the citizens to increase
the popuation of Ell Paso to fifty thou
sands within the next five or ten years
they can easily do so.
They can raise the dignity of the
city through manufacturing concerns,
and the only way to induce large con-
Germs of this kind to locate here, is to
reduce the price of fuel.
The roads could agree upon fixed
rate, and hand the product of the
mines to this .city at rate which
would be in accordance with all just de-
mauds.
But so long as the price OF coal is
kept at such a high figure manufac-
turing concerns can with difficulty be
induced to locate here.
1t was hoped that when the Salado
coal fields were opened, cheap fuel
would be assured, but it is said that
there is no Intention to make any mate
rial reduction in the price.
Last winter Ell Paso suffered for the
want Of coal and IL could not be had for
love or money. But that was on account
of the great strike. If the demand is
so great and the price is not reduced,
the coal used will necessarily have to
be shipped from distant points, and in
this case consumption will be small.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Has Indeed Taken a Long
Step Downward If Ait
geld Is Jeferson's
Successor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-About 100
men, who announced themselves re-
preseutatives of the working men of
New York, entertained Ex-Governor
Altgeld of Illinois at the Cafe Boule-
ward after the Cooper Union meeting
last night.
The announcement was made that
the dinner was given in recognition of
Altgeld's efforts to better the condition
of workingmen.
Speeches were made by the ex-gOv-
ernor and by Congressman Lentz, of
Ohio,
Lentz paid tribute to Altgeld. In
the course of his address he turned to-
ward Altgeld and said: However
much 1 may insist on the renominatio
of Bryan for the presidency, 1 recog-
nize in Mr.. Altgeld the brains If the
democratic party today. He is the
philosopher of the democratic party.
There is no man to compare with
Jefferson in this generation except
Altgeld.
''God in his wonderful chemistry
sees fit to raise once in a generation a
man fit to be remembered. He raised
up Washington. Thirty years later
he produced Jefferson. In another
generation jackson; after thirty years
more, Lincoln: and now in the closing
days of the century we have Alsgeld."

SECRET
EVIDENCE
Is Being Submitted To Drey-
fus Court Without Know
ledge of Defense.
VIGOROUS PROTESTS
Made BY M. Labor, Who Has
Demanded That Foreign
Witnesses Be
Summoned.

RENNES, Sept. 5.-M. Labori today
demanded that the court summon Col.
Schneider, Col. Schwarzkoppen, Col.
Panizzardi, and other foreigners to
testify for the defense and to prove d.
rectly that Dreyfus had never had re-
lations with foreign powers.
This was in line with his statement
of yesterday, that in view of the fact
that the prosecution had summoned a
oreigner in the person of Cernuschi,
therefore the defense could do likewise,
although it had hitherto refrained
from doing so.
The fact was also brought up at to-
days session that documents had been
communicated to the president of the
fense.
Labori made strong protest, assert
ing that the great error of the first
courtmartial was being committed over
again.
AS announced by Col. Jousst yester-
day, the first part of today's session of
the courtmartisl was held in secret.
The first witness called today in
open session was Zerge Basel, London
correspondent of the Paris Matin,
whose pen name is Paul Ribon.
Basel testified that he went to Lon
don to interview Esterhazy, who posi-
lively stated to him that he wrote the
bordereau as an discriminating docu-
ment at the orders of Col.
Sandherr.
Hereupon Major Carriere shouted:
'Iu the name of the venerated Sand
