Way of It's Conclusion.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The strike Of the
'brickmakers is practically off. A mere
formality in the way of assurances from
individual manufacturers Of the south
side that they deliver bricks ON con-
tracts on the north side is all that stands
in the way of a resumption of work. As
the president of the South Side Manu-
facturcrs' association, through repre-,
sentative, informed the joint committee
of the Building Trades council and the
Brickmakers' alliance ut its meeting
yesterday that he was prepared to de-
liver brick at the contract price on the
north side, no doubt remains as to what
the action will be.
A committee Of the alliance viii wait
on these manufacturers today and if
they give the necessary assurance. as it
is expected they will, the men will be
ordered to work. The strike viii then
be called off formally in the afternoon.

this kind.
In describing the first affray which
led up to lynching, Marquis Ronano's
report states that DR.. Hodges was The

until he had fred one shot and was
about to fire the second one at Charles
Difata, who was at that time PROSTATE

fata, fire bis shotgun from the store near
by. 1t is said, however, that Charles
Difata upbrafded DIR. Hodges in an Of
fensive way for having killed an animal
and accompanied this byta blow Of the
fist. Then it is stated, DIR. Hodges shot
at Difata. Then followed the lynching
Of the two Italians, DOE Difata and
Charles Difata, the mob taking them
before they had been arrested.

Of the New York Yacht club from Card
iner's Bay to this port yesterday, s3
miles, resulted in the defeat of the De-
fender by the Columbia by over 90 MIN

and bad luck of the former than actual
superiority Still the new boat showed
herself very able and made an average
of fully 10 knots in the run from Watch
Hill to Point Judith, so rapidly drop

round the whistling buoy her rival was

: RENNEs, France, Aug. 0.-The cuun-
sci for Dreyfus met yesterday at his
wife's residence, the heads of the Drey-
fusite party, and consulted on the pres
ent aspect Of the affair. They went
there after they had examined the docu-
ments of the secret dossier.
Dreyfusis greatly fatigued after his
ordeal. He asked anxiously what the
press and public thought and was led to
believe the opinion Is generally favor
able. This is true. The representatives
Of Nationalist journals, who judge
harshly in print, express admiration for
the unflinching constancy he has dis.
played. The public trial will be re-
sumed on Saturday.
Dreyfus has not yet got over his Rip
Van Wrinkle feeling. He was lost, as
he pnt it, He remarked to his wife that
he was astonished to find himself
watched by the whole world or its prox-
les and was thrown in a heap by the
searching and, as he thought, IN
friendly examination by the president
OF the court martial. He had expected
mere formal proceedings.
His counsel did not prepare him for a
hostile tribunal and q scrutinizing pub
lie and he felt as If X-rays We're being
cast Oh him all the time he was under
public gaze. He imagined that the pro-
feeding would be only formal and that
perhaps he might leave the court house
to walk to his wife's temporary home.
His counsel apparently were right not
to discourage him beforehand, as his
strength is low, and he is condemned
to diet Of milk and eggs. which does
not enable him to rapidly recover his
lost STRENGTH. Ague has caused lesion

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-Parliament was

sion. The queens speech contained
among others the following statements:
eve have received petition from a
considerable number of my subjects re-
siding in the South African republic
praying my assistance to obtain re-
moval of grievances and disabilities of
which they complain. The position of
my subjects in the South African repub-
lie is inconsistent with the promise Of
equal treatment whereon my grant Of
internal Independence to that republic
thereby is a constant source of danger
to the peace and prosperity OF my do
minions in South Africa. Negotiations
on this subject with the government of
the South African republic have been
entered into and arc still proceeding"
The editorials in the morning papers
take rather pessimistic tone in dealing
with the references to the Transyaal in

on Aug. "a to replace those sent from
Cape Town to Natal. 1t is said that

day last week in search of bear whose tracks

tracks four miles he came upon she bear

tying his Winchester no started to run. The
bear knocked his weapon to the ground and

said that while in the embrace of the brute
he became unconscious and knew nothing

Filipinos claim that the custom collec-
