OREYFUS NEARS NATIVE LAND
Population shows Little Excitement
and Parties Disavow Any Desire
to Celebrate Unduly.

BREST, June 24.-Captain Dreyfus will
not arrive here until Sunday evening at
the earliest. This was the latest news that
was circulated in Brest on the receipt of
the announcement that the cruiser SfaX had
passed Madeira yesterday. The population
of the city continues to maintain the calmest
mood imaginable.
Red posters displayed at various points
heraided a meeting of the Dreyfusites to-
night in the Halle de Venize, the biggest
dancing hall in Brset, situated in the vicin-
ity Of the arsenal
The demonstration was organized by So
cialists and was attended by 1,2O0 persons,
the audience consisting mainly of socialists
and anarchists, together with few detect
ives.
The speakers among whom were most OF
the socialist leaders, addressed the audience
from balcony. They attacked militarism
and reaction. The audience enthusiastically
cheered all reference to Dreyfus, Zola and
Pcquart. couple of individuals who
tamely cried "Abas Juifs' were promptly
hustled out, but otherwise the meeting was
perfectly calm and the squads of police who
were stationed in the adjacent streets had
absolutely nothing to do.
The speakers called upon their hearers to
assemble upon the arrival of Dreyfus, IN
order to defend liberty and Justice The
audience dispersed with cries of "Vive
social revolution" "Vive Zola" and "Vive
Picquart Some shouts of "Vive anarchie
were heard.
The reporter of the Associated Press saw
NJ Schiron the leader of the Brest social
lists. who said, in the course of his conversa'
ton:
1--WE intend to be present at the landing
OF Dreyfus, but we do not propose to make
any demonstration. We shall be perfectly
orderly and quiet unless the reactionaries
attempt to make a demonstration against
Dreyfus. In that case, we shall defend the
cause of liberty and Justice
This means that If the anti-revdsionasts
attempt demonstration there will be broken
heads in Brest when Dreyfus is landed.
The military authorities are still retlcen'
az TO the arrangements made and it is evil
IDENTIFY their desire to conceal the arrival o
the prisoner of Devils island until he shall
have been safely removed to Rennes, where
there is more reason to fear disorders thar
there is here.
NJ. Delobeau, who represents Brest in TN
senate, said to the Associated Press re-
porter, in the course of an interview this
evening, that he did not expect any trou
BILE upon the arrival of Dreyfus, adding tina
so far as he can Judge the entire popula
tion of the town is perfectly calm, and tha
unless a few hot-headed individuals mal'
| trouble Captain Dreyfus will pass through
Brest without any untoward incident.

IRELAND ON AMERlCANlSM
\ American Archbishop Unbos"ms Him.
self TO Explain the Position or
His Churcbmcn

LONDON, June 24.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram .)-Archbshop
Ireland has just arrived in London ana
preaches tomorrow at the Franciscan church
Peekham. He made an important restate-
ment on the position of the Catholic church
in America to the editor OF the Catholic
weekly paper New Era. Said he:
"If by Americanism is understood loyal
adhesion on the part of American Catholics
to the political condition of their country
and its constitution and laws then Amer
icanism surely exists among them. Amer
lean Catholics proclaim no thesis which
might be applicable to other nations or
other times. They take what exists in their
own country. They are satisfied this Is for
their best interests that could be done in
the circumstances of their country, and are
absolutely and unhesitatingly loyal to those
conditions. Nor in this positive and unre-
served cohesion do they believe they offend
in the least any principle or dogma of the
holy Catholic church.
III, again, by Americanism We are to
understand sincere desire to turn to profit
church conditions which modern times and
the peculiar circumstances Of our country
create then Americanism OF this kind can be
imputed to us. We in America lose no time
theorizing over the possible but not existing
situations nor dreaming of the conditions
OF past ages. We do the work that Is before
us. Souls are to be saved. We adapt our
selves in our methods to our surroundings
and in all this We are always most careful
never to violate Catholic principle, never
sacrifice Catholic dogma never to weaken
the bonds OF Catholic unity.
III finally, by Americsnism we mean ac-
tivity in religion and work the personal
initiative which leaves no stone unturned in
seeking success, while always governed In
what we do by the superior direction OF the
pope and bishops, then there is among us
Americanism. Among American Catholics
there Is no folding arms, no saying that
nothing can be done. There is no proclams
tion that nti-Catholic forces hold the field
and that we have nothing to do but retire
wearied and sour into obscure hooks and
corners. We work because we believe virtue
4 and truth have within them the power tC
Nepnquer. II one method does not succeed We
take up another. II the other falls We tak'
up another; yet we do our best. Then, anC
only then, We leave the result to Gods proyi
dence, So there is an Americanism II
America to which we adhere and there is al
Americanism spoken of in Paris of which w
know nothing and repudiate as an insult t
our country"

LONDON, June 24.-The rafting of swords
in their scabbards grows more pronounced
although the War office refuses to either
affirm or deny the reports of the closeting
OF the British military leaders or the dis
patch of this or that regiment to Capetown.
In any event. the patience OF everybody
is rapidly becoming exhausted and the STU
alton is daily getting intoerable. In fact,
1t has become so dangerously acute that 1t
must speedily be ended or mended.
The big military expenditure of s2O,OOo,-
900 provided for in the military works loan
bill introduced in the House of Commons
June 81 has caused some alarm among tax
payers, although it is admitted that por-
tion of the expenditure is absolutely neces-
STATED by the increase in the army.

LONDON, June 24.-tNew York World
Cablegram- Special telegram AN Amer
lean Citizen" Mrs. Ryley's comedy, put on
by Goodwin to replace the Cowboy and
the Lady met with most tattering re-
ception. Notwithstanding the title and the
tendency, it has been favorably criticised
on all sides, and as the audiences have been
large and enthusiastic, the thankless i'm
preston produced by THE Cowboy and the
Lady, has been effaced. Goodwin and
Maxine Elliott will take back with them a
London triumph. Gertrude Elliott, too, in
minor part made pronounced hit.
The prejudice against East Indian plays,
which is widespread among theatrical peo-
pie, is not TO be altered by "Carlyon
Sahib" Mrs Pat Campbell's latest produc-
tion. A female medical student examines
her sweetheart's eyes and discovers fatal
tumor growing on his brain. Specialists
discuss the case. Finally the girl assists
in an operation which proves successful. To
this pleasant theme is added history OF
the girls father, who caused a cholera cpl
demic among the natives by putting germs
in wells. The author. Prof. Murray of
Glasgow university, is a son-in-law OF Lord
Carlisle The most aristocratic audience
attended the first night and applauded in
discriminatory, but the critics ridiculed the
play, which has been Withdrawn in favor
OF revival of "The Second Mrs. Tan
oueray," with Forbes Robinson as Aubrey.
The report that Julia Marlowe would ac-
company her husband, Robert Tabor, when
he returned to London in August, and that
she would Join him in his new venture as
actor manager, is contradicted by friends
of both. Julia Marlowe Is at present in Lon
don, while Robert Tabor is in America
There have been no overtures toward a
reconciliation and their determination to
remain separated on one side at least, Is
unalterable.

10 CANAL ROUTES TO BE CONSIDERED
CHEAP ELECTRICAL POWER FOR FACTORIES
scheme of Immense Importance to
Omaha Under Wny, Though ID
Cannot lie Contaminated for
Some Months.

II the project now on foot, backed by
eastern and foreign capital, is carried
through, Omaha will soon enjoy advantages
that will make it one Of the most important
manufacturing ccntcrs of the United States.
The project is nothing else than the oon-
struction of Platte river canal, the stor-
age of the water in huge reservoir to
feed colossal power plant and the trans
mission OF the power by electricity to
Omaha and all the nearby towns
While the idea OF a power plant fed by
water from the Platte river. taken at a point
OF higher altitude TO give the necessary
fall, is by no means a new one, the work
of interesting the present promoters in 1t
has been going on only during the last few
months. The syndicate OF investors who
propose to put up the needed money for
the construction is headed by General b. n.
King OF Dayton, O., who in this matter
represents not only his own fortune, but
also number OF New York and London
capitalists.
Investors on the Ground.
General King and several OF his asso-
cates were in Omaha yesterday consulting
with local people interested in the project
and investigating personally the conditions
that harbor success for the venture. Tho
private car of General Manager Bidwell of
the Elkhorn was placed at the disposal
of his party. who are inspecting the terri
tory which the different canal plans con-
template covering.
The route of the canal has not yet been
determined upon two surveys are under
consideration, it being the intention to
adopt the one that offers the most advan-
tages One is the old Platte river canal plan
which was up before the people OF Omaha
several years ago-the other a new plan
said to carry it nearer to Fremont. The
determination OF the best course Is to be
deferred until the expert engineer, upon
whose technical advice the syndicate de-
pends wholly, returns from South America,
whittier he has been called in connection
with other investments of the same parties.
Provisional Contracts Already Signed.
In the meanwhile, however, preparatory
work has not been neglected A complete
inventory Of all the power used in Omaha
and South Omaha has been made and provi-
sional contracts entered into with all the
big power users at both places. Especially
at South Omaha the introduction of a much
cheaper power is expected to revolutonlze
industry and push it ahead of all competi-
| tors as meat packing center.
A large number of collateral enterprises
| depend also upon the successful engineering
| of this power plant project which If it ma
| terializes as present prospects point viii
mean more for Omaha and vicinity than
any other single enterprise ever undertaken
| for its benefit.
