The United States Getting Rather
the Best of 1t.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-(Special)-
Trade relations between the Unit
ed States and Germany, which are
just. now the subject of con-
siderable discussion, do not ap-
pear to have been seriously af-
fected up to the present time, if
judged by the latest figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics. These
show that in both imports and exports
the commerce between the United
States and Germany in the fiscal year
1899 was greater than in 1898 and thai
the grand total of the commerce be
tween the two countries in 1899 was
larger than in any preceding year. The
total commerce between the United
States and Germany in 1899 was $240,-
O15,O74 against 1924, 49, ,351 in 1898,
and $236, 6,456, ,652 in 1897, prior to which

AN INDIAN SCARE
Painted ApacheS PASS Through Je.
rome After The ZuniS.

Jerome, Ariz., Aug. 2S.-Jerome was
thrown into a fever CT excitement to-
day by a band of Apache Indians in
war paint passing through. The lead
ers of the tribe stopped and purchased
a large supply of ammunition and
hastily left in the wake of their fast
disappearing comrades The band
halted in canyon in the vicinity of
Red Rock, where the mutilated re-
mains of a buck, squaw and papoose
were located. The bodies were buried
and the Apaches took an oath of ven
geance against the supposed perpetra-
traitors, the Zunis. The Zunis are a
New Mexico tribe, while the Apaches
are of Arizona.
A bitter enmnity has existed for
years between the tribes, but a truce
had put an end to hostilities for some
time. The three murdered Indians
had left their reservation near Camp
Verde and were surprised by band
of Zunis The Apaches took their
trail in the direction of New Mexico
and old settlers fear that a furious
outbreak will follow and end in the
of one of the tribes.

cratic state convention here tomorrow
will be among the hottest contests in
the history of the commonwealth:
Nearly all of the delegates are here to-

enough votes to nominate on first or
second ballot, while the Kilbourne fol-

He Insists That He Is Black Jack,
But He Is Ide nIified by Photo.

as Wade or Bishop.

jerome, Ariz., Aug. 2S.-(Special.)-
District Attorney Ling and Deputy
Sheriff Davis returned to Prescott
this afternoon from New Mexico,
where they went after the Folsom
robber, supposed to be Oscar Wade or
Bishop, the Camp Verde murderer.
AS he is held on a capital offense in
New Mexico the Arizona Ioquisition

GERS were compelled to return alone
The person denies that he is Wade,
but Ling secured his photograph

Jail there for harboring the fugitive
and they claim to recognize it as the
man they knew as ChaHe Bishop.

milton of members claiming the floor
For the past several congresses it has
been entirely optional with the speak
er to recognize or to refuse to recog-
nize any member seeking to take the
floor. During and prior to the forty
sixth congress the rules required the
speaker to recognize the member first
claiming the floor, or in case of two or
more members claiming the floor at
the same time, that the speaker could
recognize any one of those making the
demand, the others to be recognized
in order after the one first recognized
had taken his seat. 1t is now pro-
posed to return to this rule, which
will insure to every member a hearing
if he desires it. The effect of this
will be to enable a majority of the
house to control the proceedings of
the body, without depending upon the
individual will OF the speaker, and to
insure to every member the right to be
heard and to test the will of the ma
jority as to any proposition, it is ex
pected to prevent the pigeon-holing
of measures which have the support of
a majority, but which are opposed by
the speaker. The purpose is 10 re-
store to the house it's representative
character.

q CONVENT HORROR
Four Sisters Lost In The Fiery De-
sfruciion of ST. IgnafiuS.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The entire
group of buildings, with the exception
of the hospital, which comprised the
convent of ST. Ignatius and the orphan
age, in charge of the Dominican sis
ters, situated about half a mile from
Sparkill, Rockland county, were burned
early today and as far as is known
four lives were lost and many injured,
two of whom will probably die. The
work of getting the children out was
heroieally performed by the sisters
and nurses. The fire started in the
Iavatory.
Several of the sisters were severely
injured and about % children received
injuries, none of which the doctors
think will prove fatal. 1t is believed
the fire was of incendiary origin. The
property loss is 100000.

Evidence Yesterday in Favor
Of the Prisoner.
The AUDIENCE is WITH Him
The Hand Writing Expert who TeS-
tilted AGAINST Him in 1895 Made
public Confession of His Error
and Declared SoIemnIy That fhe
Bordereau was Written by Es-
ferh6ZY.

Rennes, Aug. 28.-The balance of the
evidence today, for a change. was in
favor of Dreyfus. Five witnesses were
for him and two against him. The
most interesting testimony was that
of the handwriting expert, Charvey,
who had come to declare that he had
changed entirely his opinion, which in
1894 was against, and is now in favor
of Dreyfus, who, he today affirmed,
was not the author Of the bordareau.
His candid confession of error
was received with murmurs Of salts
facion in the court, which became a
discreet applause in spite Of Col.
Jouaust's' patent disapproval, when he
solamnly added: 'T declare On my
soul and conscience that the bor-
dereau was written by Esterhazy.''
The most Important 5nc.dent, how
ever, was Gel. Jouarst's acqu.escence
to Major Carriereis request That roga-
tory commission be instructed to take
