STRING PULLED FROM PARIS.
Evidence All Prepared and
Can't Stand CrOss-QuestiOns.


PARIS, Aug. 1.-The change in the atti-
tude OF Captain Dreyfus is attributed to
the advice of Maitre Mornard, now as
ISOLATED with Maitres Labori and Demange
in the conduct of the defense, who told him
he must speak In his own behalf. as his sui
len silence would send him back to DEVILS
island. Dreyfus now fights for himself as
theoretically as his counsel. The confusion
into which the ranks Of the military wit
nesses are thrown by anything approach
ing a lively cross-examination is due TO the
fact that their cases are all prepared for
them, and in some instances even written
out by Nj. Ployer, who pulls the string from
Paris in the interests of the military party.
Hence the dismay spread by the reappear-
ance of NJ. Labor. The spy. La Joux. so
prominent in tc-day's evidence, was one of
the least reputable connected with the In
teIIigence Bureau. He was paid to leave
France and is still paid 2O francs a month.
He knows all about Cuers. who betrayed
Germany's secrets to France, and, among
others, that a decorated colonel of the gen.
eral staff supplied Germany with important
mobilization plans and other secrets. This
was two years after Dreyfus was con-
demned, and the traitorous colonel was
Henry.
When Picquart was investigating this az
fair. Henry got himself sent to Basic to
take the statements Of Cuers and to brow
beat him into suppressing the truth. Hush
money is still being paid. On one occasion
La Joux was thrust into a lunatic asylum
TO prevent wkward disclosures
Considerable impression was made by the
reading of the notes made by the superiors
Of Dreyfus. showing that throughout his
career he displayed industry and good con-
duct until the moment he entered the gen.
eral STAFF, when the records suddenly
changed from industry to l~aziness, and
from discretion TO haughtiness, while he
was thereafter accredited with development
Of a taste for prYing into state secrets.

independent of restraint, who cough and
move as they WILL there has been a death
like stiffness as they have listened to some
me solo of Handel. On faces which are
seldom free of the marks of care except in
the excitement of drink, calm has seemed

but because il is beautiful. Sometimes the

A Far-Reaching Decision.

From the Kansas City Star.
The Indiana supreme court has decided
that state has a right, on the grounds of
public policy, to annul the charter of any
corporation which enters into a combination
to destroy competition or does anything
which even relaxes competition The de-
cision was rendered in a case in which two
natural gas companies formed an agree
ment to charge uniform prices, and each
agreed to refuse to serve any consumer who
quit patronizing the other company The.
prosecuting attorney brought suit to annul
the charters of the companies, alleging that
they were unlawfully combined against the
people and were abusing the rights confer
red upon them by the state. The language
of the court is as follows:
1T is old and familiar maxim that
competition is the life of trade and whatever
act destroys competition or even relaxes

as injurious TO public interests and is there

take action against individuals without a

that the general statutes assess no penalty
Tor such individual transgression. In the
case of the corporation, however, the pen
atty is at hand. An act by corporation
against public policy can always be nun
ished by the annulment' of the company 5
charter.
The courts generally have sustained the
antitrust laws and affirmed the right both
of the state legislatures and the federal
Congress TO pass laws prohibiting combina-
lions in restraint of trade, but this Indiana
decision seems to be the first 10 declare thar

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY.
An International Trade and CONNER
cinI Geography Chair Established

The immense impetus which has been
given to our foreign commerce as one Of
the important results of the war with
Spain has emphasized the necessity of
studying scientifically and practically our
international trade relations and the geo
graphical location of the markets of the
world.
To provide an opportunity to study this
subject inteIligently. the Columbian Uni
versity has established a chair of Inter
national trade and commercial geography"
and this chair will be occupied by probably
the best qualified man to be found in this
country, VIM. p. Wilson, Sc. D., who has
given the subject careful study for many
years. and has succeeded in establishing in
the city of Philadelphia practical eTHhOdi-
ment of some of his ideas in he shape of
what is known as the commercial museums
of Philadelphia.
His course will treat Of the products of
the United States, which are the subject of
International trade: where like products
are grown or manufactured, and the mar
kets for the same, giving the general cur
rents or geography of trade and commerce,
and showing how affected by treaties and
legislation and the services of diplomat tic
and consular agents of the United States.

This is the time when the seaside re-

Why. 1 certainly think so. 1 believe that
there is some strange animal that comes
up from the deep occasionally. Perhaps 1t
may interest you to know how easily peo-
pie are deceived and what things pass as
sea serpents. Upon ono occasion. some
time ago. a vessel In the north Pacific
sighted a singular animal, not 500 feet
away. which pronounced a sea serpent
by the men. When first observed there was
what appeared to be a long neck rising
out Of the water ten feet into the air
mounted by head sharp and pointed.
Behind this the surface were seen ir-
regular undulations or humps. supposed to

Its length was estimated to be 100 feet and
