Rennes. Sept. 9.-Today came the
beginning of the end Of the Dreyfus
triak With the speech of the govern
ment commissary. Major Carriere, the
case entered upon the final stage Of
pleadings. and the verdict will be de-
livered Monday.
Colonel Jouanste this morning took
the most important decision yet taken,
and took it entirely upon his own re.
sponsibility, although he is undoubted.
ly only the mouthpiece Of the whole
body Of judges. His decision to ex-
clude the testimony Of Colonies
Schwarzkoppen and Panizzardi was
most signi ticant, as it meant that the
court had already reached conclusion,
and that the pleadings of counsel were
merely waste of time. and might be
dispensed with if they were not me-
cessity.
The court has made up its mind, hut
which way? This is the view point
and forms the sole topic of discussion.
Both sides aIe equally confident that
the court will decide in accordance
with theif views.

Seattle, Sept. 9.-Prince David Wa.

ex-Queen Liliuokalani, says:
Annexation is decided success.
OF course from sentimental view, the
native Hawaiian feels like man with.
out a country just new, but that feel
ing will wear away. We want the
president to appoint our governor and
his cabinet and let the people elect
their legislature. When this is done,
there will be no cause for complaint.
Annexation has done great things for
the Hawaiian islands. The country
never was SO prosperous before"

Harvest Hands Wanted.

Dallas. Or, Sept. l.-Hoppickina
has commenced in nearly all the yards
about Dallas. There is great scarcity
of hands. and many yards in the coun-
ty are seriously embarrassed, and
threshng is impeded for want of help.
The rain has brought both the gram
and hop harvests together. and prunes
are coming on before the others are out
of the way, which will make the, situa-
ton worse. 1t is believed now That, il
the weather shall continue good, 900
more people could obtain employment
in Polk county for month or more.

Chicago. Sept. 9.-The Rock Islam d
Railway Company has issued instruc-
tions to all its conductors that hereaf-
ter no person is to be put off trian on
account of defective transportation or
for other reasons where there is the
slightest doubt in favor OF the passen-
ger, or until the train man has received
ejectment orders from the executive
officers in charge at Chicago.
When forged or mutilated ticket or
pass is found. the conductor is to take
up the same and wire for instructions.
OF course the order does not cover
tramps stealing rides noi other cases of
fragrant deception.

RAILWAYS IN lUZON.
Arrangements Completed for Another
Line the COAT.


Chicago, Sept. 1l.-Special corre-
spondence to the Tribune from Manila,
under date of August 4, Gays:
Agents for company of Spanish
capitalists, some of whom live in Ma
Mia. announce that arrangements have
been completed for the building Of a
modern railroad line in Luzon that will
connect Manila with all the important
towns along the west coast OF the
island as far north as Laoag. The
route is kept secret, bat it is UNDER
stood that it will be the same as pro-
posed in 1875, when the scheme for
government railroads in the Philip
pines was officially projected.
Three lines were planned at that time,
only one of which was completed. the
present railroad, which runs from Ma
Mia 10 Dagupan. distance of Isl
miles. The company is keeping it's
movements secret to prevent the two
or three companies that are said to be
organizing in the United States for
the purpose of building railroads in
Luzon from anticipating it in securing
the same route. The Americans who
have talked railroads here generally be.
lieve that new town and port will be
established either on the north coast of
Luzon or the northern part OF the west
coast OF the island, as terminal Of the
railroad.
This would save ESQ miles sailing to
Manila for ships from the United
States or from Hong Kong, and with
rapid communication to Manila
through the richest provinces Of the
island, would be reasonably certain to
grow rapidly.

EXPRESS TRAIN ROBBED.
Safe Blown Open and Contents Taken
Men Escaped.

Coohise, Ariz.. Sept. l2.-Express
train No. 10, on the Southern Pacific.
was robbed near here last night by
four masked men, who blew the safe
open and took everything in sight.
The amount of their booty is said TO be
small.
The train was stopped, the engine,
mail and express cars were cut off from
the rest OF the train and run mile
farther up the road, where the bandits
stopped to complete their work. The
express messenger WAS forced to open
his car and the robbers attacked the
safe with dynamite. The strong box
was soon blown open and the contents
taken by the thieves. who hastily de-
parted.
They were last seen going north on
foot, and posse started out on their
trail. The dynamite used OH the safe
blew out the side of the express car
and tore up the floor. There is no
clue to the identity of the robbers.

INCREASED NAVAL ESTIMATES
Repairs and New Ships Cost q Heap Of
Money.

Repairs and New ships Cost Heap Of
Money.
New York, Sept. ll.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The naval estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1901. will aggregate
about $50, 900, 900. This consdera bile
increase in the cost of the navy is due
in great part to the expenditures which
will have to be made dun ing the pres
ent and coming fiscal yea' for the con-
st1uction of the "a vessels building.
and that three batteships and three
armoied cruisers. which will be con-
tracted for as soon as congress takes ac-
tion enabling the department to pl. %
contracts for armor.
Admirals Hchborn and Melville
have estimated that $lS, 900. 900 will
be required to meet bills Of shipbuild-
ers. In addition to this sum. Admiral
Hichborn estimates that $1,000, 900
instead of $4,000, 900 will be required
for repair ships. There is reason to
believe that Admiral Crowinshield,
chief Of the bureau of navigation. will
recommend in his forthcoming report
that the enlisted force be increased to
90. men and will make estimates
therefor. He will also make ample
provision for target practice for the
service.
Admiral O'Neill's estimate for the
armor for the vessels under construc-
tion and proposed are very high. His
estimates for the present fiscal year
amounted to $4,000, 900. which was ap-
propriated. The estimates ior the COM
ing year will exceed this amount.

Government for Fiiipinos.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en-.
tirely to discussion OF the local gov.
ernment which will be established in
the Philippines on the cessation of hos
tilities. Secretary Root has given the
matter much thought, and his views.
as expressed at the meeting today, were
received with approval by all the mem.
bers present. He pointed out that a
system of government which would be
suited to the people Of Luzon would
hardly do for some of the other islands,
where the inhabitants were far less adj
vanced. A member Of the cabinet, in
speaking Of the matter, said that SEQ.
rotary Root displayed broad statesman.
ship and knowledge of the economic
and social conditions on the islands.

AGU|NALDO'S APPOINTMENTS
Conservative Element Of the
Islands Selected.
FILIPINO CONGRESS- SESSION
Insurgents Taxing tho Chinese-Ques-
tion OF Local Government for tho Is
lands Discussed by the Cabinet.

Manila, Sept. ia Filipino who
has arrived here from Tarlao says an
extraordinary session of the revolution.
airy congress took place at Tarlac, An.
gust "a. Aguinaldo presided, and
chose Mabini as president of the su-
preme court and Gonzaga as attorney
general. They both represent the most
conservative and temperate element.
Mabini, who recently resigned the for.
eign secretaryship. is the ablest man
connected with the revolution. Con
a.aga was president of the last peace
commission.
The proceedings of the congress dis
proved the report that Agunaldo had
declared himself dictator.
A decree has been issued by the Fill,
pinos compelling the registration OF all
foreigners in Filipino territory. The
Chinese, who are large fraction OF
the population, are considered foreign
ers, including those born in the Phil
ippine islands. Application must be
made on stamped paper. which figures
largely in all the business Of the insur'
rectionary government. This seems tG
be largely a scheme to tax Cinnamon.

above kamiah. on the Nez Perces reser-

arms looking for a cougar that ap-
preached the home of Lewis Johnson
last Sunday and took from his door
yard his 4-year-old daughter. With
two little sisters. the girl was playing
in front of the house. when cougar
came ont from the timber, and, before
the children had time to make cry OF
alarm, seized the little girl by the back
of her neck and started for the hills at
once. Her playmates by their screams
brought the mother to the door, who
arrived in time to see the cougar drag
ging the child away in its mouth. She
at once raised an alarm with her cries,
which caused the cougar to drop his
prey about 100 feet from the house
where the child was picked up dead.
her mex having been broken. The
news spread over the settlement, anC
about 100 armed men were soon scour.
ing the hills.
For some time the settlers in this
vicinity have been losing cattle by four
different cougars that have been seen,

r. q. Dun d Co.'S weekly review

The sky is still cloudless and no dis

about South Africa, tho bank of Eng
land behaves as il the worst possible
bad been fully provided for. and this
country has no reason TO fear trouble
FROM that source unless English mar
kets have been SO overloaded as to need
help. The marketing of domestic pro-
ducts, both farm and manufactured,
continues surprisingly large for the
season. The new possessions. taken
together, are returning in revenue al
ready more than it costs to clean and
govern them. The West and South
still behave as il it would be imperti-
nent for New York to offer money for
crop moving. and aie still bidding for
commercial loans here. Failures are
few and strikes scarce and readily set
tied, and the passage of September 4
without pressure means reasonable
safety for months ahead.

No Canal Report.

Washington, Sept S.-Emoiy r.
Johnson, a memebr of the Nicaragua
,anal comm ission, says that no formal
report can be presented for at least a
year. This will mean no action by the
next congress, which was evidently the
intention Of those who prevented any
definite legislation at the last session.
1t is said that the administration is
not concerning itself very much about
the lapse of rights and concessions of
the United States government. because
congress has had opportunity to act
and failed. and the responsibility, if
there should be no further concession
obtained, will not be upon the admin
istration. Meanwhile, where favorable
negotiations can be forwarded, our
state department will give the canal
favorable attention.
