as they saw nothing the crowd dls-
persed. The only persons remaining
were those who knew where the prison.
er was to be landed.
The weather was most stormy and for
a time it was feared it would be I'M
possible to effect a landing. For hours
the lights of the Caudan and SfaX were
distinctly visible, as the vessels pitched
and rolled. 1t seemed impossible to ap-
proach them in the rough sea.
On the landing stage were NJ. Viguie,
the chief of detectives; NJ. Hennion, a
commissary of police and a force of
gen d'armes and police inspectors. Fin
ally at 1 a. m. a cutter in charge of a
and went along side the SfaX- Then the
boat rowed to the shore, where Dreyfus
was landed al 1:30 a. m
A company OF infantry was drawn
up at the landing.
Dreyfus who had been brought ashore
in the boat was Immediately placed un-
der the guard of a captain of engineers
and sergeant and corporal of gen
d d'armes who. formally handed the pris-
oner over to NJ Viguie. The latter then
entered a landau with Dreyfus and two
detectives and started for the railway
station.
Dreyfus did not speak a wOrdz. He
personally opened the door of the COM
partment of the special train, consisting
of three carriages and a baggage car,
which was in waiting. AS the train was
about to start the local health officer
refused to permit Dreyfus to leave on
the ground that he had just arrived
from the colonies. The matter was
quickly arranged, however, and the
train proceeded.
Dreyfus was only visible for a moment
to the reporters.
The train stopped at Rabelais, three
kilometers from Rennes.
There the party alighted and quickly
entered a carriage drawn by two splen-
did horses which Immediately started
at a sharp pace. It was $50 a. m.

see Dreyfus, asked: ''Who is Dreyfus ?
1 have never even heard of him..
The drive from Rabelais to Rennes
was without incident. Owing to the
precautions the prisoner passed unno-
ticed in front of the arsenal. WOrknen
read from the posters but did not turn
their heads, little suspecting who was
passing.
The clock was striking when the
crowd which had been waiting since
midnight around the prison, the people
beginning to think themselves the vic
tins of practical joke, saw a landau
surrounded by gen d'armes beyond the
station. Then they all cried with one
voice:
There he is"
At this cry the people started off to
meet the carriage and suddenly the
troops and mounted gen d'armes hur-
ed madly forward, yelling and
shouting as if accompanying a fire en-
gine instead of escorting a prisoner
The carriage was driven so fast that
it covered the distance in a few minutes
passing the watchers like a flash
It was a race for the prison gates be-
tween the gen d'armes with the captive
and the spectators.
The gates then opened suddenly and
about twenty gen d'armeS rushed out
and barred the street, pressing back the
crowd with rifle stocks.
The transformation from tranquility
to a wild scene of gesticulation almost
defies description The SuddenneSs of
the movement stupehed everybody as
much as, apparently it did the pris-
oner, whose face showed from the
quickly passing carriage.
But beyond the excited ordinations
of surprise and curiosity there were no
cries of any sort raised.
Protected by his guards Dreyfus en-
tered the prison and was consigned to
the care of the governor and taken to
a cell on the second story. The rain
fell heavily all night, the sun shone out
I brightly when Dreyfus entered the pris-
on.
The governor of the prison sent Mad
anne Dreyfus notice of the arrival of
her husband and she Immediately went
to the governor and asked permission
to see the prisoner. Leave being grant
ed, the faithful wife entered the prison
almost unobserved and was conducted

The meeting between the long parted
husband and wife can better be imag-

most touching.
Both Dreyfus and his wife were deeply
affected. They remained long clasped
in each others arms, tears and smiles
intermingling with tender endearments.
Madame Dreyfus issued from the
prison in a state of collapse. She found
her husband much aged with beard and
hair whitened and body shrunken and
stopped. She said DreyfuS knows moth

For Volunteer Regiments From

San Francisco, July 1.-The arrival OF
the steamer Nippon Maru with the al
legged cases of the Asiatic plague aboard
has aroused the health authorities to
the danger to be apprehended from the
return of volunteer regiments from the
Philippines. Arrangements are being
made to establish on Angel island,
''camp of detention for such regiments
as are found to have been exposed to
contagion. The camp will accOmrno-
date about 500 men. 1t is the intention
to quarter there all troops coming on
infected transports
The Nippon Maru will be tOwed from
the mail dock into the stream this
morning. That was decided by the
board of health, and the ship will be
moved if every policeman in the city
has to haul the tow line. The ply
Sicians that guarded the citys health
consider the vessel highly dangerous in
view of the statement of DR.. Barbat,
the b4cteriOlogist, that the germs from
the two sailors of the Nippon Mdru are
those of the bubOnic plague.
The vessels agent has agreed 10 FUN
igate the ship in the stream. The mail
dOck will be guarded by police who will
arrest and send to the pest 0use any
person who may leave the steamer with

health. Any person wh1 may board the
ship until she is released viii be quar-
antined with the crew. IEo freight will

BAD MEDICINE
Being Made by Indians at
White Rock Agency.

Price, Utah, July 1.-The White River
Uncompahgre and Uintah Utes
are dancing at White Rock agency
They are about 1000 strong and the
band of which Old Sowowic is the leader
numbers fully 1000. They are camped
in a bunch about a mile from the agen-
ey. Among this crowd there are some
three hundred and fifty bucks, followers
OF Old SOWowic who says he will lead
them back to their lands in Colorado
when the dance is finished and the
Green river has gone down, so it will
permit of their taking their ponies ana
Squaws across. This year the dance is
known as the harvest dance. Indian
Agent Myton having forbidden the sun
dance It is nothing more or less than
rhe old ghost dance or the coyote dance
and its significance is to make bad med
fcine.
There has been considerable uneasi-
ness on the two reservations and In the
Ashley valley country over the declara-
tiOn of Old SOwowic to go back to Col
OradO and this has been increased by
reason of the fact that one troop of the
Ninth cavalry has lately been with
drawn from Fort Duchesne and sent to
Fort Douglas, leaving but one troop of
1O3 men at the Fort Duchesne post. At
the time the transfer was made Indian
Agent MytOn and the settlers near the
reservation made a vigorous protest,
but this was ignored by the war de-
partment. Captain Guilfoyle, in COM
mand at Fort DucheSne went to Den
Yer two weeks ago expecting to be alb
sent a month but returned in about ten
days There are at the dance nearly
all the bad Indians from the Dakota
reservation who are trouble breeders.
The dance began Thursday night and
will continue for three days without
food, rest or water. Word from White
Rocks over the telephone line says the
settlers are much alarmed.

The Water Company Raiding''
Its Customers.

There is CONSERVATION and indigna-
ton brewing along Kansas avenue
among various stores where the water
company has recently made a meter
rate. One store which has been paying
$40 a year for the use of water is now
told that it is using five dollars worth
of water in two weeks The proprie-
tors think that an advance of from $40
year to $130 for fifty-two weeks, is a
pretty stiff advance They figure that
the meter charges them with a barrel
an hour and they thought they were
economical, too.

NOMINATE CAPABLE MEN.

The Democrats of Summit county,
at their caucuses next Friday night,
should nominate capable men for
land appraisers in the several wards
and townships.
The twenty-four appraisers to
which Summit county is entitled
will have to place tax value of more
than twenty millions of dollars upon
the real estate of the county, and this
valuation will govern the tax levy
for the next ten years. Everything
depends upon the land appraisers if
the tax burden is to be fairly distri-
buted. They must be men competent
to Judge of the value of land, and
indiscriminating in the discharge of
their duty. If the Democratic eau
cuses will choose men for these posi-
tions rather as a recognition of their
fitness for the office than as reward
for their service to the party, the eau
cuses will not only strengthen the
Democratic county ticket, but they
will enable the party to do the people
and their county an excellent ser
vice,
