IL Being Anxiously Watched for at
Brest.
Brest, France, June 25.-The inhab-
itants Of this port are absorbed in the
expected arrival of Dreyfus. The
question on everyone's lips is when
will he arrive?' but no one seems able
to reply. The town, however, is per.
fectly calm. Along the favorite prom
enade, the Cours Dajot, on the cliff
overlooking the splendid harbor in
which half a dozen picturesque old
three-deckers are lying moored along
side modern cruisers, were a few
groups of sailors and marines gazing
seward. When questioned they adj
mitted that they were watching for
the French cruiser Sfax, bound from
French Guiana with the famous pris-
oner on board, but in the same breath
expressed the belief that she will not
arrive in the day time. They think
the warship. will be kept outside the
harbor until nightfall and then Drey-
fus will be landed inside the arsenal.
This is also the general opinion OF the
~townspeople, who are anxious to wit
ness the landing. The military n
civil authorities profess to know moth
ing of the matter, no even II tue
Sfax is coming to Brest.

Trouble Ahead.
Paris. June 25. - The new cabinet
ministers took possession of their Of
fees yesterday. The project of police,
NJ. Blanc. had a long interview with
the premier, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau,
and it is asserted he handed the latter
his resignation. The progressive Re-
publicans have held a meeting under
the presidency of NJ. Meline. Consid-
cradle diversity of opinion was de-
veloped. One faction decided to OPP
pose the new cabinet owing to the
presence of NJ. Millerand in the min
istry. The socialist deputies are also
at variance regarding the entry of the
Marquis de Gallifet into the cabinet,
and a portion of that party has de-
cided to found a new group, to he en-
titled revolutionary socialists The
Meline meeting appointed a commit
tee to confer with the other groups
hostile to the new cabinet for the pur-
pose of organizing a combination IN
opposition to the government. Notice
has already been given of a number OF
interpretations for Monday.

WILL REDUCE RATES
NEW CANADIAN CANAL A GREAT
THING.
The SOulanges Canal, Which Will BE
Opened in August, Will, by Its
Operation, Reduce the Cost OF
Transporting Lake Freights to
Observation-Disclosures May Con
template With Qualification the
Prospect Of a New and Cheaper
Route to the Atlantic.

Chicago, June 24.-The Record says:
The Canadian government will open
SOulanges canal in August, and by it's
operation the cost of transporting lake
freights to tide-water will be reduced
beyond the possibility of profitable
competition by any other existing
route. The cost of transporting wheat
via the lakes and Erie canal will be
reduced one-half. The same is equally
true Of all other products destined for
transatlantic ports from the territory
tributary to the great lakes. In this en-
terprise the Canadian government has
this there has been expended from
revenues for repairs and betterments
neough to make a total of $7O,OOO,OO O
The United States government has
paid out but $4O,OOO,OOO for all pur-
poses on the great lakes, their harbors
and connections, since the beginning Of
the government.
1t is generally accepted by shippers
that Liverpool makes the price of cash
wheat, and that every cen saved on
the cost Of delivering 1t at Liverpool
means that much more to be paid the
owner of the wheat at the time 1t is
sold and shipped. AS the saving ON
wheat will be somewhere near 3 cents
a bushel, the added returns of the
farmers of the Northwest 70 rthe sim
gle item of wheat would in one year
amount to $6,OOO,OOO. On other ex-
ports Of his producing he would proba-
bly, save twice as much more In freight
charges. This. it is thought, will ope-
rate to open the eyes of the farmers
about the great lakes to the Importance
of a deep waterway to the Atlantic
which would still further increase the
value of their products.
While the Northwest may conten-
plate with qualification the prospect OF
n new and cheaper water route to the
Atlantic, New York city will lose much
of it's enormous export shipping busi-
ness, which amounts to somewhere
near $50, 600, 1000 bushels of grain an
nually. 1t is asserted in the highest
quarters that the rate to eNw York via
the Erie canal cannot possibly be re-
duced to a figure that will anywhere
near meet the Montreal figure. and ii
it be attempted the prediction is made
that the Canadian charges will be re-
duced to . cents per bushel or less for
wheat.

rot a hog was killed in the house.

being an increase of 25 cents in each

At Swift & Co.'s it was said that
about 100 men had Joined the strike
and had been given their time. Lip
ton & Co. lost 80 more and 100 men In
the sausage trimming department OF
the International Packing company
left their places. Some of these men
were taken back at the insrease de-
manded but the raise was not given to
all. In the afternoon the hay men
employed by Nelson, Morris 4 20.
made a demand for O 25-cent raise by
this morning. -
AS a result Of the strike four riot
calls were sent to the stock yards po--

the strikers were locked up charged
with assaulting one of Nelson, Norris

London, June pa dispatch from
Cape Town to the Outlook says: The
tension is extreme. Business is at a
standstill and the general feeling is
that England must promptly bring
matters to an issue. The league will

The Orange government is urging the
Transvaal to make further concessions.
Many people consider that Sir Alfred
Miners franchise proposals are USE

these concessions, the johannesburg

Chicago, June pa special dispatch
from Washington to the Tribune says:
President Mckinley has decided to
call for volunteers for service in the
Philippines. 1t has been determined
to form at least nine regiments, and
possibly twelve.
For the present the president deems
nine or ten regiments enough, and it
is understood this number is based on
the representations made by Gen. Otis,
who is said to have recently amended
his estimate Of the force he will need
in maintaining peace in the islands.
There are now $4,000 regulars in the
Philippines and there will shortly be
a reinforcement Of at least 1000. This
furnishes Gen. Otis with the army he
desired in the earlier estimates from
Manila. Lately, however, he has had
occasion to revise these figures, and
under the influences of the more lib
eral estimates of Gen. Lawton and 9TH
er advisers he has informed the Wash
ington officials that the presence OF
1000 to 5000 volunteers to supplant
the force Of regulars will be q safe
guard.
Actual enlistment for the new vol
unteer regiments will be under the
army officers and the records will be
similar to those which attended the r.
cruiting Of volunteers at the outbreak
of the late war. 1t is probable the
company strength will be maximum,
and this would give for nine regiments
a volunteer force of at least 1900.
The call for troops will b" issued as
soon as the necessary arrangements
for recruiting system can be made.
