The Dreyfus trial at Rennes, France,
has continued during the week but with
out the introduction of evidence on either
side more conclusive than had been pre-
sented previously. On Tuesday morning
NJ. Labor, the leading counsel for Drey-
fus, created a profound sensation by send
ing urgent appeals by telegraph to Emper-
or William of Germany and King Humbert
of Italy for permission to be granted to
Colonel Schwartzkoppen and Colonel Pan
izzardi, German and Italian attaches in
Paris in 1894, to testify at the trial sin
the name of justice and humanity" The
Importance of this move lies in the fact
that should these officers testify that they
never had any relations with Dreyfus and
that they never received from him any
Fren ch military secrets, or the offer of any,
it would be conclusive evidence that he is
not guilty of the crime with which he is
charged.

senator Ro.. WIN BE a Candidate.

The St. Johnshury Caledonian of this
week contains the announcement that Sen
ator Jonathon Ross will be candidate for
election to the Senate next year. This is
the Caledonian's statement:
'We are authorized to say, that while
the Senator has no thought of making
what is called fight for the place, yet if
elected by the next legislature TO fill out
the two years term of the late Senator Nor
rill he will gratefully accept and serve to the
best of his ability. In short he is candi-
date, and will be glad of the support of all of
his friends and all who deem him worthy
of the high Office"
This announcement is evidently made at
the request of Senator Ross and his friends,
and its purpose is TO prevent any misun-
derstanding as to the Senator's position
when the contest comes on next year.
While no formal declaration has been
made by any of them, it is we'll understood
that Gen. Grout, ex-Gov. Dillingham;, and
c. A. Prouty will be in the field for elec-
tion to Senator Morrilrs place next year.
What effect Senator Ross's candidacy will
have may not be foretold, but it is to be
said without prejudice to any of the con-
testants that 1t is clearly his right to be a
candidate, that his election by the legisla-
ture might easily prove happy solution of
a mixed contest, and it would be approved
by the people.
The Caledonian's declaration was un-
doubtedly made at this time because with
in the week the Rutland News has brought
out Senator Ross for the governorship next
year, saying rightfully that his election
to that Office would be a suitable rounding
out of his long and honorable public career,
and that it "would be happy solution of
several problems" The arguments ad-
vanced by the News are forcible and cor
daily to be endorsed, but it is evident that
Senator Ross has his own ideas on the
subject, and that If he remains in public
life it is to be in the United States Senate
and not in the governors chair.

Nsw York,s Gin TO Dewey.

New YoIk's special memento to Admi-
raj Dewey will be gold loving cup, which
is to cost 5000. In order to have it ready
on Sept. % four sets of artisans will be
constantly at work day and night, com
pleting its different parts at once. The
cup will be a three-sided Roman pattern,
with Greek dolphin handles. A band of
stars, one for each state of the Union, will
surround the brim, and upon each side be-
tween the handles will be chased figure
one portrait of Admiral Dewey supported
by oak leaves and the spread eagle; the
second the cruiser Olympia and the third
an inscription stating that the cup is pre-
sented to Admiral Dewey by the city of
New York. The exact words of this in
scription have not yet been decided upon.
A twisted rope, emblematic of the navy,
will surround the neck of the cup, and un-
derneath upon the base will be the initials
G.. D., the four stars of an admiral, and
the seal of the city of New York. The
legs of the cup will be anchors, four in
number, resting upon oak leaves. Sep
tember 30, Friday, will be taken up by the
naval parade. Early in the morning of
Saturday, at an hour to be designated by
himself, Admiral Dewey will drive to the
City hall. There Mayor Van Wyck will
receive him in the name of the city and
present to him the loving cup. These cere-
monies completed, the Admiral will be
driven in open carriage to Claremont,
where he will breakfast. Then will come
the land parade.

The nomination of John r. Mclean
for governor by the Democrats of Ohio
makes him formidable factor in Demo
cratic national politics. He has been an
ardent supporter of Bryan and free silver,
and the platform on which he was nomi-
mated endorses Bryan for the presidential
nomination. 1t is believed, however, that
Mclean is on intimate terms with
Croker, Van Wyck, German and other
Eastern Democrats who would like to side
track Bryan, and many of the followers
of the Nebraskan are alarmed at the pros
pect of the part Mclean may play.

Senator, discovered when two days out
from San Francisco that there was large
quantity of timed beef on board, and in
tended for their rations, of the same kind
which became known as "embalmed beef
during the campaign in Cuba. Then
there was trouble at once. The men re-
fused to eat it or allow it TO be served and
demanded that it be thrown overheard,
which was finally done. There was no
complaint that the meat was bad. The
men simply did not purpose to allow a
ration with that kind of an unsavory repu-
tation to be forced upon them and nobody
will blame them.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1899.

There is no essential change In the
strained situation in South Africa between
the Transvaal government and Great Brit
ain. The latest reply of the republic to
the British demands expresses regret that
the proposals of Great Britain are unac-
ceptable. The right Of that country to
protect its subjects in the Transvaal is ad-
mitted, but the claim Of suzerainty is de-
MED. Hostilities are likely to begin at any
moment, but peaceful solution is still
hoped for.

that Manager Seiee is to be transferred to New

is also said that Hickey is to be put on second

The cheapest postal service in the world
is that of Japan, where for sen-abOut
seven-tenths of a penny-letters are con-
veyed all over the empire. This is the
more remarkable when one considers the
difficulties of transit over the mountainous
and irregular country, where the railway
is still in its infancy, and where wagons
can only pass over some of the principal
roads and only few of the coast stations
are connected by steamers.

the truth Of their assertion that with

induced to go heartily In with the other
States a party to the Atlanta agreement.
II is a well known fact that in the past
New orleans has never reported first cases
and an eminent physician Of that city re-
fused even, while the yellow fever was
epidemic last. and defed the board Of
health to force him TO report any of his
cases TO the authorities. These facts plead
eloauently for Or. Blunts position, till
