ESTERHAZY TELLS ALL.
Says He Wrote the Bordereau
For Which Dreyfus Suffers.

London, June 3.-The Chronicle says
that Major COmte Esterhazy called at
its office last evening CFTriday) with a
confidential friend, and after declaring
that the time had arrived when the
whole truth should be told although
hitherto by reason of constant orders
and inducements he had kept silence
on the essential point, made the follow
ing statement:
THE chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. Ny cup is
full and I shall speak out.
Yes (raising his voice and glazing
around), it was I who wrote the Dor
dereau. I wrote it upon orders receiv-
ed from Sandherr."
Esterhazy. the Chronicle SAYS. then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1898 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned of leakages which were only pos
sible through officers belonging to the
ministry of war and it was necessary
to catch the guilty party by material
evidence. Hence the bordereau
When asked what the chiefs of the
French staff would say to this confess
sion, Esterhazy, struggling his shouI-
ders, disdainfully replied: They will lie
as they know how to lie, but I have
them tight. I have proofs that they
knew the whole thing and share the re-
sponsibility with me, and will produce
the proofs
He then denounced the chiefs as a
set of scoundrels who have abandoned
me basely," adding, but at one time
they used to come to thank Madame
Pals for her assistance
Esterhazy asserted that, quite re-
Gently. the chiefs sent NJ. Laguerre, a
former deputy. to London with seduct-
i've offers to him to keep silence
Now they are using threats he
shouted, but 1 will not be deferred
The Daily Chronicle got Esterhazy to
sign the notes of the interview.

SAVED HIS FRIENDS.
Why Ex-Mayor Fellows Was Not
Elected President of Com
mercial Congress.

Ex-Mayor Fellows was made vice
president of the Transmississippi Com
mercial Congress for Kansas, but is in
line for the presidency of the organiza-
ton next year. Houston, Tex, won
in the contest for the congress next
year, and Tom Richardson was elected
secretary. There was a time when
Kansas had enough votes pledged to
elect Mr. Fellows president, but he
stepped aside in favor of Richardson
and Houston.
Fellows also gave way to help E. R.
Moses of Great Bend, who wanted to
be reelected chairman of the executive
committee, and George Mcknight of
Wichita, who was slated for the vice
presidency. These men got their
places and Mr.. Fellows could have been
president had he insisted. This is the
explanation of the situation made
by the Topeka delegation to the con-
gress.
Representative Ed McKeever said to-
day: kansas was taking about all
there was in sight, and we thought it
wise to not insist upon Mr.. Fellows
election as president. However. the
delegates are anxious that Mr.. Fellows
should be elected president when the
congress assemblies at Houston next
year.

times by the Robertson people, and he
has sworn out warrants against the
two others as a means of retaliation.

A CHICAGO SCHEME.
Hopes to Expose Citizens Who
Take Their Beer
At Harlem Street, I" The DEVILS
Dead Line"

Chicago, June 3-Any resident of Oak
Park of a peram bulating inclination is
likely to see his face and figure thrown
from a cinematograph on a huge screen
at the Third Congregational church of
that suburb if his walks should lead
him into Harlem avenue. This is one of
the plans adopted by Rev. Henry w.
Slough, who inaugurated his crusade
Sunday evening against the saloons
and concert halls in the thoroughfare
which divides Oak Park and Harlem.
Rev Mr. Slough has never seen a
moving stereoDticon in action, but
knows a number of people who vouch
of its entertaining features When the
Lor1ner circus was in the neighbor-
hood many voters of the district were
prevailed upon to enter the tent and
there gaze upon the reproductions of
S1egeS and battles during the Spanish
American war Those who have sug-
gested the cinematograph to the min
lister are not without resources It is
proposed to string a number of addi-
tional electric lights in the so-called
devils dead line" to accomplish the
best results when the cameras with
their moving rolls of films are directed
on the side entrances.
In adopting vigorous means to bring
the movement to successful culmina-

These hell holes would be gone from
our back door," said the pastor yester-
day by way of a supplement to his re-
marks in the church, IF it were not for
the extensive patronage they get from
the Wanted good people of Oak Park
If these resorts have the least scintiIla
of responsibility about them why don't
they seem busy when the sun is shin

at midday and you won't see a soul
stirring But wait until dark has come
and then what a transformation has

CORWIN DISCONNECTED.
[From the Chicago Inter Ocean

IFrom the Chicago Inter ocean,
1.-THE general impression is" said the
professor, that Corwin was never as
concerted by any antagonist But there
was an old story current in central ONO
thirty-five or forty years ago, showing
the contrary Soon after Antioch COL
lege at Yellow Springs, began TO
achieve a reputation under Horace
Mann. there was an outbreak among
the students In attempting to quiet the
disturbance one of the professors was
roughly handled The professor IN
sisted that the ringleader in the hazing
frolic threatened him with heaNy
cane, and finally struck him. Inc
student was arrested on complaint OF
the officers of the college, who were
represented in court by Tom Corwln.
'.CorwfnS great reputation and mis-
manner took nearly all the fight out OF
the students who were standing by the
parties under arrest. Corwin was car
rying all before him, making witnesses
say almost what he wanted them 10
say, when one of the principal Offenders
took the stand. This young fellow al
mitted that the professor was threat
ened with canes, but denied that he was
struck by any one He SAID, IN 1act'
the boys only wanted to scare the pro-
fessor and had no thought of hurting
him. The witness was a quiet, athletic
fellow, and as he made this explanation
he smiled at the exaggerated look oil
amazement on COrwin's face
"Corwin made the witness show how
the canes were flOurished about the pro-
fesSOr'S head, and questioned MIN per-
Sistently as to how close the canes went
to the professors nose He began with
five inches and forced the witness to
say that the distance was not greater
than three inches, two inches, one inch.
Then, triumphant, he took the cane
from the hand of the witness, and,
fiourishing it about the young fellows
head, so close as to make him dodge,
thundered: If a, man should flourish a
heavy cane about your head like this,
and this, and this, within an inch of
your nose or ear or hair, what would

ment of the spectators, suddenly sprang
to his feet. and initiating Corwin's in
