around championship meet on the
grounds of the Knckerbocker Athletic
club at Bergen Point this afternoon
| There We're four competitors-J. f.

of the N. Y. A. c., A. Sanderson of the
Toronto " M. c. A. and J. e. Moran

generous in their applause of the ath-
letes. A. c. Kraenzein, the holder of
three worlds records, did not compete.
1t was stated that he sprained a wrist
recently while practicing the pole vault.
J. Frederick Powers proved himself
fine all-around athlete. His total score
was 6203 points. His figures are the
best with but one eXception-those of
1S97-when e. II. Clark of the Boston
A. A. scored 6,2t41a points. White, who
was second to Powers, won in hollow
fashion last year, and an idea of Pow
ers performance can best be gathered
from the fact that White.w was more than
1900 points 'behnd him. Powers is a
native of Burlington, VT. He is TWEEN
ty-four years of age, is six feet and a
quarter inch tall and weighs 1872 pounds

took part in three events, which We're
interspersed with other handicap events,
and the collegians showed fine form
The running of Smith of Yale in the
half mile which he covered from the
ten-yard mark in t:55 3-5 was a fine
performance, and Boal, the hammer
thrower, pushed the sixteen-pound ham

Harvard records were broken in the
two-mile run, which was won by Palm

Havana, Juy 4.-The streets of Ha-

all nations are flying, with American
flags largely predominating and the Gu

giving the city an animated and festive
appearance. Two Spanish flags fiaunt

had been burned and then the adioin-

New York, July 4-This was Getaway
at the track was bigger than any other
since the Suburban, at least 10000 per-
sons being present, most of them drawn
by the $4,000 Realization stakes for
three-year-old at mile and five fur
longs. All the good three-year -old colts,
with the exception of Filigrane and
Jean Beraud, were eligible for the race
and out of these five elected to go to the
post, with IIthebert q pronounced ia
vorite. In the first break Half Time

ming a mile at top speed before he was
caught, After some delay they went
out again and this time the flag fell

next and The Bouncer followed. AS

DREYFUs MEETS HIS BROTHER.
Prisoner Aged and Broken but Not the
Physical Wreck Expected

Rennes, France, July At Is imposs-
BILE to imagine a town calmer than
Rennes, The inhabitants continue alb
solutey Indifferent to the presence Of
Dreyfus. Barely half dozen persons
witnessed the visits of counsel and
Madame Dreyfus to the prison to-day.
The town, however, is full Of detectives,
who scrutinize all strangers and few
gendarmes are patrolling before the
residence of Madame Dreyfus. They ap-
proach and watch every one stopping
before the gate leading to the court
yard Of the mansion.
Matthew Dreyfus paid his first visit
to his brother at 3 o'clock this after
noon, the interview lasting half an hour.
The brothers threw themselves into each
others arms. Matthew said he found
his brother aged and broken in health,
but not the physical wreck he expected.
In spite of his suffering Dreyfus' eyes
are as bright and his mind as clear and
his intelligence as keen as when he was
occupied with his duties on the general
staff, He was troubled with insomnia
during the voyage, but has now recover
ed and last night he had a refreshing
sleep. The prisoner is still suffering
from dysentery, but it is now slight and
there is every reason to believe he will
rapidly recuperate his forces. Natural
ly he is under medical treatment.
Matthew found his brother in good
spirits and buoyed up by the necessity of
mastering all his strength for the COM
ing ordeal and by the hope that at last
he will have justice done him. He is
extremely reserved as to his life on Dew
lis Island, which has left an indelible
impression and remains in his memory
as u horrible nightmare. DrGyfus looks
back to his existence Of the past Four
years with relief, tinged with the hor
ror Of a sane man who has escaped from
a madhouse. He declared his brain is
almost reeling in the face of the mass
of documents and explanations MN.
Demange and Labori are bringing out
the extraordinary devotion of
his friends. Dreyfus is astounded and
full of heartfelt gratitude at their self
sacrifice.

ARBITRATION To BE OPTIoNAL.
Germany Successfully Objects to Prin-
ciple of NIalxiMg II Obligatory.

The Hague, July AT a meeting this
afternoon of the arbitration committee
the question whether arbitration should
be obligatory or optional was raised and
drew a categorical declaration from the
German delegate to the effect that he
had received formal instructions not to
accept the principle of obligatory ar
bitration, otherwise than by special con-.
ventions. In view of this statement ar
ticle 10 of the Russian proposal was
struck out and replaced by a provision
declaring arbitration should be optional,
except in the case of conventions be-
tween the powers. All the delegates
adhered to this, NJ Bourgeois, head of
the French delegation, declaring he ac-
cepted it only as compromise.

Brussels, July 4.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day M. Van Den Peereboom
at the opening Of the session reiterated
the governments strong desire to effect
Cancellation and pacify the public
mind He continued: 1.-THE government
considers there is ground for entertain
ing the counter electoral proposals sug-
gested by various members and submit
ting them to a committee on which all
parties will be represented. The gov
ernment in the meanwhile is prepared
to consider the necessary steps to ac-
complish the desired understanding
NJ Van der Velde, socialist, on behalf
Of the two parties of Leftists, supported
the ministerial proposal, which, he de-
clared, was equivalent to the withdraw
al of the government scheme. The
country, he continued, has thus achiev-
ed signal victory and is convinced
that the only solution Of the existing
party differences is an appeal to the
country, either through an early cleo
tion, a dissolution or referendum. In
conclusion. M. Van Der Velde declared
that the parties Of the Left would re-
main united in order to combat any at
tempt of the government to resume Of
fensive tactics and to prevent any fresh
party coup. (Cheers.) M. Woeste de-
clared that the Rightists would remain
equally united for the defense of consti-
tutional liberties
Later the members of the Right in
the chamber unanimously agreed to the
government proposal referring the cleo
tora bills to a committee of all parties.
The Left also assented, with a resolu
tion limiting the time of the commit
tees deliberations. 1t is believed that
this will solve the trouble for the pres
ent.

ised Interpolation on the subject of the
bill dealing with workmen's wages and
the hours Of labor. He disputed the
right Of M. Millerand (Socialist), minis
ter of commerce, to deal with the mat
ter by decree, as he proposed to do, I'M
til the next session. The speaker was
loudly interrupted by members of the
extreme left. M. Millerand, in replying,
disclaimed all intention upon the part of
the government to curtail the rights Of
parliament. Other deputies desired to
debate the matter, but the premier, M.
Waldeck-Rousseau, declined to consent
to this, and the chamber upheld him by
1888 to 1856 votes. The premier then read
a decree proroguing parliament for the
long vacation and, amid applause from
the leftists and protests from the right,
the house was adjourned.
