TITLED SWINDLERS.

The failure of the proposed criminal
prosecution of Promoter H Hooley IS
certainly not an over-creditable circum-
stance to British officials. Americans
who reflect that every incident which
might in any light be made to reflect I'M
favorably on our own methods of treat
ing influential criminals has been eXag-
gerated and often misrepresented by the
London press will regard this failure
with at least feeling of amusement
HoOley's operations constituted a world
wide scandal, involving in a dishonorable
way many of the representatives of Brit
ish aristocracy That huge frauds were
perpetrated on trustful investors is add
mitted; that the benefciaries of those
frauds We're men who but for their emf
hence in the social system of England
would have found their way into the pris-
Oner's dock is the settled conviction of
half the commonalty of England. If such
a feeling is shared in in this country it
is through no feeling Of prejudice 1t is
attended by a conviction that if such
transactions had been carried on among
us there would at least be an attempt to
bring the swindlers to justice.
Ii HOoley is not a criminal, then those
through the use Of whose names and in
fiuence he was enabled to carry on his
huge confidence game certainly are.
They reaped the full benefit of Hooley's
operations. Nor have they been made to
disgOrge d single dollar of their dishon-
orabiy-won gains. Can it be that there
is no law in England that will reach such
offenders? 1t is generally accepted as
true that Hooley was in some instances
blaclI-maied by some of the titled bilks
whose names he used. Why are such men
allowed to go free we'll as Hooley?
Lord Russell has, it is understood, in
troduced into the house of lords certain
legislation making criminal the receipt Of
secret commissions on q business trans
action. 1t is hardly possible that
this circumstance can be used as a peg
on which to hang the failure to prosecute
CiI4iSi iACOIey VI any VI Ills concentrates.
So many of the transactions to which
Hooley himself testified were In the ma
ture of naked swindles that the absence
of laws against the receipt of secret COM
missions offers very poor explanation
indeed of the failure of justice which has
prevailed in this notorious case.
The only conclusion which the untutor-
ed American mind can reach on consid-
that it is Il very comfortable thing for
the average British swindler to have
handle to his name.

NEARING A RULING.
New Trial for Dreyfus Now Seems
Fully Assured.

New Trial for Dreyfus Now Seems
Fully Assured.
PARIS, May 31.-The vicinity of the
palace of justice was about deserted to-
day when the court of cessation resumed
hearing the argument in the application
for a revision of the Dreyfus trial. Many
of the public seats IL the court were
empty.
M. Manau, the procurator general, con-
tinued his speech which was interrupted
yesterday by the adjournment of the
court. He contended that Maj. Count
Esterhazy was the author Of the Dor
dereau, which has figured so prominently
in the case, and not DreyfuS. In the
course of his remarks he said that who
ever was guilty, somebody had committed
the crime of treason. Esterhazy, how
ever, he pointed out, having been &C
quainted of the authorship of the border
eau, cannot again be prosecuted on this
ground, even if he were a hundred times
guilty. Later M. Manau said:
What proof exists that there has been
an act of treason of tho nature charged?
Are we not, perhaps, in the presence of
a number of unimportant documents, as
Gen. Mercier thought, and consequently
In the presence of a mysterious hoax, an
audacious piece of swindling perpetrated
by the author of the bordereau upon his
foreign correspondent This Is a terrible
question, and one which involves the
most painful presumptior-that Of the
martyrdom of a man whose innocence
seems established by several new facts"
In conclusion, M. Maneau said
I'VE assert that several new facts
exist, of such a nature as to prove Drey-
fus innocence. Therefore, may it please
the court to quash the Judgment of Dec.
90 1894, and send Dreyfus, as defendant,
before such court-martiale as the court
may decide"
This statement caused applause which
the president suppressed by ordering the
court to be cleared.

THE MATTER WITH HANNA.

The latest intelligence from the seat of
imperialist warfare in the state of Ohio
IS encouraging. Even the faithful in that
favored political section of the country
are not at one on the supreme bless
ings which have come upon US through
the ascendancy of the great product of
Ohio craftsmanship, the Hon. Marcus
Hanna.
For many weeks past the war upon
Hanna has been assuming large pro-
portions. Even the followers of this
great statesman themselves are at war.
The chairman of the state Republican
central committee, Mr.. Huling, some
time ago pointed out that the trouble
which has attended the political path
way of the chief adviser of the presi-
dent has been due to another of the
great mans favorites, named Dick. Dick
is charged with saying of Huling that
he, Huling, and a gentleman named
pougherty committed the intolerable
breach of confidence of holding the sena
tor up-that Is the precise language of
the charge-for $1,000 for looking after
the senator's interests in the recent bri-
berry investigation. Mr.. Huling ap-
breaches the consideration of the charge
with degree Of feeling altogether dis
proportioned to the amount involved.

DOES NOT HELP sANnELL.

The formality of making an affidavit
OF denial in general terms. without engag-
ing at all in consideration of the circum-
stances Of his conversation with Mayor
Kiefer. will not in the slightest degree
help Mr. Sandell out of the very difficult
position In which he finds himself 1t
only creates a suspicion that, In the mind
OF Mr.. Sandell, his uncorroborated denial
does not receive general credenee. Yet
1t Is hard to understand. IL Mr.. SandelPs
original denial is unworthy of credence.
how his affidavit will promote any more
general acceptance of it's truthfuIness
The only way in which Mr. SandeH can
convince either jury or the general pub
lie that Mayor Kiefer's statement is false.
and that he did not engage in an effort.
either by his money or his vote, to pur-
chase his own reappofntment from the
mayor, Is to make his version of the
facts of that famous conversation pub-
lie. His denial that he offered the mayor
$500 as a bride may be true The MAYOR
may not have intended the $500 to go into
the mayors own pocket. Even so. That
does not relieve him of the grave RESPONSE
bility which rests on him to purge himself
of the fmputation that he made the cleo
ton of city engineer, on which he had
a vote. the occasion for purchasing a re-
appointment to his office nine months
ahead of the event
Such an undertaking as this, If proven
by legal evidence against Mr.. SandeII.
would be most serious and disgraceful
affair. 1t would be almost as serious
and as disgraceful as if he were shown
to have offered to bride the mayor with
money for his own use. What has Mr..
Sandell to say to such an imputation?
1t is to be observed that Mayor Kiefer
is allowing others to do all the talking.
No Republican moralist has thus far
been heard, either in print or out, say
Ing word in criticism of SandelI The
mayor seems to be the real criminal in
their estimation. We suppose this idea
prevails on the principle that party to
a business undertaking of that kind is
never justified in allowing any of the
facts to become public But the disgrace
full, and, as it may prove, the criminal
nature of this transaction is not to be
brushed aside by any mere abuse of
Mayor Kiefer, or by the publication of
general affidavit Of danioI
AS it stands at present the matter Is
one for the consideration Of the crimi-
nal authorities of this county. Let ia
see what they propose to do about 1t.

CAN RIDE FREE.

DIR. Ohage's, Staf tOE Receive Street
- 80 Car COURT sies.
The request made by Health Commits
sioner Ohage. that the employees of his
department wearing uniforms be allowed
to ride free on the street cars has been
granted by the street railway company
The company at first refused to consider
the proposition, but when the assembly
put provision In the Cedar street ordi-
nance to that effect the officials were will
ling to discuss the question.
The board Of aldermen knocked the
amendment allowing the fire, police and
health department employees in uniform
to ride free out of the ordinance and
sent it back to the assembly for concur
renee. By counting noses the street rail-
way officials found that they would have
to grant the request of the health COM
missioner or have the ordinance defeated.
AS the company is now carrying the
members of the police and fire department
free it was decided that the cheapest
way out of the difficulty was to make ar
engagements with Health Commissioner
Ohage and allow his employees to ride
free.
A conference was held yesterday after
noon and DR.. Ohage informed that on
and after that day conductors on all
lines would recognize employees of the
health department If promerly uniformed,
and they would be allowed to ride with
out paying a nickel. This question hav
ing been amicably settled the ordinance
allowing the company TO lay a track on
Cedar street, between Seventh and
Eighth streets, will be passed by the
assembly this evening"

LARSON is LENIENT.
Cannon Falls Man Doesn't Want to
Prosecute the Women.


w. N. Larson, of Cannon Falls, who
claimed to have been robbed of $40 and
certificate of deposit for $780, whiic out
riding with three women carly Monday
morning, took another long drive with
Detective Murnane yesterday and recov-
cred the certificate of deposit. The valua-
BILE piec of paper was found carefully hid
den away under a big rock, beside the
road, half way to Bass lake. The drive to
the hiding place of the certificate was not
behind the sagacious horses that stopped
beside the rock Monday while the check
was concealed nor was q mind reader en-
ployed in the case. The women under
arrest simply told what they knew of the
case. Later $13.75 in money was also re-
turned to Larson.
The women under arrest are Irene Day,
Grace Hayden and Myrtle Hayes. The
police say they admitted having taken
possession Of Larson's purse. which they
claimed fell out of his pocket to the bot
tom of the hack. where one of them
claimed to have found it. Larson refuses
to swear out a complaint against the
women, who will be arraigned in the
police court today and will doubtless be
discharged.

Contrary to the wishes Of a great many
calamity howlers, the government has
retained in. service the negro soldier. And
on every occasion where he has been
called into action he has performed his
duty as faithfully and bravely7 as any
other body of men: though the Blatant

of honor have been extremely limited in

fought like black demons and unless
the rough riders are, most ungrateful of

that no more negroes would be permitted

INSURANCE MEN HERE.
Committee From the Union Trying
to Improve Local Conditions.

to Improve Local Conditions.
The governing committee of the West
ern Union, that body of fire insurance
men which supervises the various local
boards In the west, Is expected In st. Paul
today to try and straighten out the local
life insurance situation. 1t has been g.
long while since the fire insurance agents
In st. Paul dwelt together in harmony al
though the general public knows little
about their business troubles. If fact
they don't tell their troubles except when
they get together
At the present time there are four or
five agencies that have always maintained
their connection with the local board who
seVerd that connection some time ago.
There Is another agency suspended until
1t pays little fine of $35051 imposed for a
violation Of the compact rules. The fine
was assessed in default as 1t were be-
cause the company wouldn't appear be-
fore the committee and face the charges
made.
Then there are a number of agencies
that have not affiliated with the board for
thre or four years. With all this, in
Surance rates have been maintained
pretty well. Still the friction Is her and
the suspicion and the lack of confidence
and perhaps the grounds for the lack of
confidence On the surface everything Is
quiet, but when the union puts it's hands
ga
wrong. Committees have come here. jol-
lied the agents, lined them UP and re-
turned to Chicago thinking everything
was lovely. Before they had had time to
report, things were going wrong again.
The union has almost come to the con-
c1usion that a rate war would be the best
thing for ST. Paul, but the local men
either In or out of the board, have as
much respect for a rate war as a cycIist
has for an electric car and it is a ques-
ton, If the union should declare all rates
open in st. Paul, whether or not business
would be sought and written Just to show
who could lose the most money In the
shortest space of time. The committee
and the local agents will meet today
Whether or not the committee can i'm

Their clever talk doesn't begin to weigh
as much as his knowledge of local condi-
lions. If he can be assured that certain
other agents will hereafter live up their
agreement as strictly as he himself did

cannot be tempted back by some such as
surances, the union will have had its trip
for nothing.

that there was not at present any con-
temptation of largely increasing Gen.

that nothing had been received from Gen.
Otis which indicated the necessity for

the retiring volunteers. But the presi-
dent added that If additional reinforce
ments became necessary. they would be
promptly furnished. A number of gov
errors of state had advised him that
they could furnish regiments in short
order if the occasion required. But, at
the same time, the president expressed
his strong belief and confidence that the
necessity for mastering in additional vol
unteers in accordance with the authority
granted by the army reorganization bill
would not be wise
