THE DREYFUs TRAGEDY.
Discussed From the Pulpit by Rev
William RAIDER Last Evening.

Rev. William RAIDERS sermon on the
"Dreyfus Tragedy was received by the
congregation of the Third Congregational
Church last night with hearty applause.
The able pastor OF that well-known
church did not mnce words in his dis
cussion of the persecution now going on
in the French capital He chose as his
text Matthew, Will 2, 3. In part he said:
The Dreyfus tragedy is a reproduction and
revelation of the baser passions of the human
heart and at the same time an expression of
conscience, courage and desire for justice.
In conspiracy II is likened to Macbeth, and
the conspiracy depicted by Shakespeare in his
julius Caesar Race and religious hatred is
at the bottom of this affair. 1t Is France
against the Jew, Dreyfus has given the world
an example of the former TO suffer alone in
prison, cut off from associations. He had for
aids first his conscience. His letters to his
wife indicate his self respect and innocence.
Secondly, the support of his wife. who has
proved herself to be to her husband what the
wife OF Burke was to him, and the wife of
Phillips was to the orator of Boston's mobs

defended him to the last, and is to be thought
of with the Garrisons the Beechers and the
Lincolns of history. Fourthly, the God of
OF Elijah and the chosen people of Israel was
his support.
Public opinion in Paris predicts his convic-
ton. The court before which he Is tried is
a travesty on justice. 1t is a disgrace to
France, regardless of the guilt of the soldier
Jew. It's decision will probably produce a civil
war Outraged justice breeds mobs
There is eternal law of justice not only
in the Sermon on the Mount, but in life That
law is the prophecy of the time when it will

GATHERS OF THE CHURCH.
The Editor of the Catholic World
Magazine Delivers an Eloquent
Sermon at Old ST. Marv's

The Rev. A. P Doyle delivered an elo-
quent address to the congregation of Old
St. Mary's last evening. Father Doyle.
who was born in San Francisco, is now
in charge of the literary work of the
Paulist Fathers at New York, being the
editor of the Catholic World. He spoke
last night of the Future of the Church -
in part, as follows
The nineteenth century, with all it's mar
Vicious changes in the political, Industrial and
social orders is the John the Baptist among
the centuries-the precursor of a spiritual
sumo the role of a prophet still one can easily
argue from signs that are to events that will
be. 1t may be definitely stated that the trend
OF all the great movements, as well as the
result of all the wonderful changes of thS
century, will be a widespread intellec-
tuality. closer brotherhood, and consequently
a deeper spirituality. There is no stronger pas
sion in the human heart than that of re-
ligion. Very few hearts have ever been with
out some movements Of il, and by all odds
the largest majority Of men have been stirred

humanity for better living. greater freedom
and higher existence will only more and more
develop the religious sentiment in the heart
Unless all signs fail we may consequently ex-
pect in the early years of the coming CEN

The catholic church is gaining recruits to
her standards by the thousands, and this not
only among the common people. but among the
brightest and best in the land Cardinal Glib
bons estimates the yearly increase of converts
to the Catholic church TO be 10000. The move
ment which took the form of giving missions
to nome Catholics is now bearing the richest
harvests. This movement takes for its motto:

work carried on. particularly by the diocesan
clergy, with the best results.

u. C. CREW TO ROW
AGAINST BRITISHERS
Great Interest Developed in the In
ternational Race toIake
Place at Astoria.

ASTORIA, Aug. 20-Devotees of rowing,
of whom about 10,0 900 are now in Astoria,
are greatly worked up tonight over the
big international race which takes place
tomorrow morning. In this contest are
entered the Alameda and University of
California crews, representing the Ameri-
can side of the race, while the English
representation consists of a crew picked
from the finest oarsmen of Vancouver
and Victoria, B. c. No other event ever
held on the Pacific Coast has attracted so
much attention, and there has been so
much said of it that interest is almost en-
tirely centered on the race.
The British Columbians had their shell
out for an hour this morning for the first
time. The river was not smooth, but the
NorthernerS went over the course several
times, and expressed themselves as being
well satisfied with It. The Californians
spin. Each of the three crews has
large number of admirers, and the coors
worn yesterday in honor of the athletes
have been supplanted by the colorS of
the several crews. Much betting has been
done on the race, which is thought by
many to lie between the Alamedans and
the Britishers. Fine weather is probable
and a new record will doubtless be estab-
lished. Each crew realizes that it has
the race of a lifetime on its hands and
each is determined to come out victorious.
The launches bearing Governor Geer, his
staff, Commodore Edwards, Admiral Day
and other dignitaries, arrived this after
noon. They were met upon their arrival
by a marine procession from this city
and the entire contingent steamed up to
the city with banners flying and bands
playing. The Governor and his party
were accorded hearty reception.
The exercises will open tomorrow with
the browning of the Queen. The ceremony
will take place at the grand stand, where
the throne has been erected and will be
participated in by Governor Geer Mayor
Bergman and other prominent men of the
State. Tomorrow night the Pacific Coast
Association of Amateur Oarsmen will be
organized at the Chamber of Commerce.
All the coast clubs, which are now repre-
scented here will join in the organization,
the future of which is bright officers
will be elected and a constitution adopted.
To-day an immense crowd went to the
seaside, where a Sunday programme was
carried out The main attraction was the
lfe-saving exhibition given by DIR. Fred
erick Rienl of San Francisco. The doctor
himself went out into the breakers and
gave a demonstration of the efficiency of
his apparatus, and later sent out two men
While they were returning the kite drop

ROANOKE BRINGS GOLD
FROM CAPE NOME

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 20.-The steam
er Roanoke arrived tonight from ST.
Michael, Alaska, with $50 miners and gold
dust estimated at $3.50 900. Most of this
was brought out of the Cape Nome dis
trict. G. w. Price of San Francisco has
the largest individual amount, about $50
COO. The failure of the Roanoke to bring
a larger amount of gold dust from Daw-
son is explained by the fact that she
kon River boats a st. Michael.
The Roanoke brings further particulars
OF the laundering of the river steamer
Louise, July 81, with three barges, two of
which carried United States Government
supplies, near the mouth of the Yukon in
storm. The Louise has been raised and
taken to St. Michael for repairs. Her
hull is badly damaged and her upper
works are badly twisted. The total loss
on the steamer is estimated at $35 900.
One of the barges and its cargo. con-
sisting of supplies for Fort Gibson. are
a total loss. The cargo was valued at
$50 900. 1t consisted of quartermaster' s
cattle. 1t was not insured. Captain Reu-
benS has sent a requisitiOn to the quarter
masters department a San Francisco to
duplicate the consignment.
With average good luck it will be pos
sible to get barge up the river to Fort
was valued at $4,000. The other two
barges were recovered, with their cargoes
but slightly damaged. One carried army
supplies for Fort Egbert and the other
carried goods belonging to the Alaska
Commercial Company. They have since
started up the river again. This will prob
ably be the last voyage of the Roanoke to
ST Michael this year. as negotiations are
pending for her transfer to the Govern
ment as a transport.
