ON FRENCH SOIL.
Capt. Dreyfus Reaches Rennes and. Is
Placed in Prison.


Capt Alfred Dreyfus, the man whose
imprisonment on Devils Island has stir
red the whole world, was not landed at
Brest, as official announcements had led
the people to expect. Instead, he was
taken by the French cruiser Sfax to
Quiberon, and from there was taken by
train to Bruz.
The distance from Bruz to Rennes-
about eight miles-was covered in car
riage, Capt. Dreyfus being accompanied
by a high police official. Ten gendarmes,
riding in a wagon, followed the carriage,
and other guards followed on foot.
His wife had spentsa sleepless night
waiting for a chance to see and speak to
him. She had kept up courageously in
the past under the terrible strain placed
upon her, but was almost unnerved when
she learned for certainty that her hus-
band was alive and that she might soon
hear his voice and clasp his hand Their
meeting was most pathetic.

POWERFUL NEW SHELL TESTED.
Device of Far Greater Destructive
Power than ShrapneI Invented.

Device of Far Greater Destructive
Power than Shrapnel Invented.
A shell of terrific explosive power, wide
radius of destruction and a capacity to
annihiate by bursting fragments and a
shock as effective as streak of light
ming will be the feature of the fall cam
paign in the Philippine Islands. Tests
of the charge of this terrible engine Of
war have been made at Sandy Hook, the
Government guarding closely it's secret Of
manufacture. A shell of this nature
charged with an explosive equal to mel;n-
lite or dynamite falling near battalion
of the enemy would kill or cripple a very
large percentage of the battalion. The
chances of escape from this tremendous
machine will be decreased 100 times, ex-
perts say, as compared with shrapnel dis
charged at the same objects.

AMERICANS SUE ONTARIO.

Lumbermen Claim Damages Under
the New Timber Regulations.
Don NJ. Dickinson of Detroit has filed
big bill Of damages against the province
Of Ontario at Ottawa, on behalf of Mich.
igan lessees of Ontario timber lands for
violat ton of the Grown timber licenses.
Ontario now requires all these lessees to
manufacture the logs into lumber in On
tario, and as consequence several mills
in Michigan have had to shut down. The
claims reach the total of 1896, 500. The
constitutionality Of the Ontario statute is
now being tested in the courts, but the
case will not likely reach the final court
of appeal, the British privy council, until
next November

Gen. Otis, in reply to cable from the
war Department at Washington asking
for information regarding situation and
conditions in the Philippines, cabled as
follows:

FINANCES OF THE NATION.
End of the Fiscal Year Reveals Flat
tering Treasury Showing.

End of the Fiscal Year Reveals Flat
tering Treasury Showing.
FRIDAY ended the governmental fiscal
year. According to- the treasury figures,
which are subject to revision, the receipts
have been $514, 116.911 and the expendi-
lures $6O4, 644, 972, thus making the de-
felt 500, 52S,O61, or about 500, DOC, 900 less
than the early estimates of Secretary
Gage. The receipts from customs were
$2O5, 919, 116 and from internal revenue
$271, 773, 1863.
This is an increase over last year Of
55,S4O,35S in customs, and Of $lO3,293,-
O51 in internal revenue or legitimate in
crease in receipts of $3.50, 1873, 400. The
miscellaneous receipts, however, are SAT, =
S64, JOG less than last year, as the bulk
of the Pacific Railroad payments came in
then.
The expenditures are S161, 256, O93 larg-
er than the year before, or just about the
amount of the increase in customs and in
ternal revenues, thus accounting for the
increase Of $5O,00O,0O0 in round numbers
in the deficit.
The war budget for the year was $685.
O1O, COG for the army and $64, 734, 159 for
the navy, or total of 1898, IA, 766. AL
though the war began in April, 1898, the
heavy expenses for the army did not begin
to appear on the treasury books until the
present fiscal year began July 1, so there
is an increase in the budget of 1929
1O7.
Taking the fiscal year ending June 30,
1897, as a peace basis, the experA2s Of
the army and navy were only So, 511 ,S14,
so that at the same rate the extraordinary
war expenses of the last two years have
been $277, 51O,797 which may be taken
as the actual cost of the war I'D to date

TlN-PLATE MILLS ARR IDLE.
Fred lotion Made that the s caIe Will
Be Signed Soon,


All but four tin plate mills in the coun-
try are closed, and nearly $4,000 workmen
are now idle. The situation, however, is
not serious, and the prediction is made
that the scale will be signed and all the
mills in operation within a few days. The
headquarters of the trust are in Chicago,
but it is known that the combine is will
ing to grant an increase of wages, and
will do SO soon.
1t is the custom to shut down about this
time for repairs and stock-taking, and
when the joint scale committee failed to
agree at the recent Chicago conference
the Amalgamated associations represent
atives unavoidably played into the trusts
hands by asking for postponement. Had
the scale been signed the plants would
probably have been closed within a few
weeks Well-informed labor leaders say
that the unions will stick to the demand
of a 20 per cent raise. and it is believed
that this will be granted by the trust as
soon as the various plants are put 10
good running order.

MANY our AT HOMESTEAD.


Another Strike Inaugurated at the
Big Pennsylvan a steel Works.
A strike has been inaugurated at the
Homestead steel works at Pittsburg
which may rival the famous battle be-
tween capital and labor which was fought
there seven years ago. The discharge Of
fifteen men at the plant during the last
three weeks is at the bottom of the trou-
BILE. These men were dismissed because
Of their utilization with the newly formed
lodge of the amalgamated association.
The Homestead strike was precipitated
when committee of nine men, who
sought the reinstatement of the discharg
ed men, were also discharged for the
same reason. Superintendent Corey in
formed the men that no organized men
would be retained, though it became nee
essary to close down the entire plant. At
a secret meeting of the men it was decid-
ed to stand by the organization, and in
the event of the discharge of any of their
members all would strike.
When the nine men were discharged
they were not permitted to return to the
mill, and the walkout was not immedi-
ately carried out, but eventually one Of
the men gained access to the workmen,
with the result, according to the president
Of the amalgamated association at Home
stead, that 1000 men have quit, and all
departments are more or less crippled.

which is not hemp at ALL but is obtained
from plant belonging to, the. plantaln

yield only about two-thirds of pound OF

ADJUSTMENTS.

| The Brownies" spectacle and fairy
| play, was given at the Clunie Opera
house last night by about a hundred
masters and misses of the city under
| the patronage of the Sacramento Lodge
| of Elks. There was not more than
! half a house in attendance. Probably
the greater portion of the people who
propose to enjoy the entertainment are
waiting until this evening when it will
be repeated The only change tonight
will be in the Fairy Queen, the par1
assumed last evening with entire sue
cess by Edna Farley This evening the
| Queen will be Sybil Fox. Miss Edna
| Ferriter was charming and se1f-pos-
sessed Prince. OF the others there are
| too many for specification of the parts
| they filled But it may be said that
| Harry Huntoon as the Dude, Irma Far
| ley, Alice Butler, Ethel Freund and
Irma Phleger as leaders Of the fairy
dancers and singers; the four masters
who personated policemen, Ray Collins,
Ed Quillan, Martin Stickels and Ray
mond Harvey; the Italian organ grin
der, by Bryte Peterson; the Schenck
brothers as acrobats; Louise Ross in
the song Flowers and the very small
couple who gave the cake walk were
notably good, especially when it is
taken into account that for most part
it was first appearance. The chorus
singing by both girls and boys was
really superior, better than we had ex-
pected. The costuming of the fairies
was very pretty and of the brownies
ludicrous and mirth provoking-indeed
when the latter came tumbling upon
the stage the audience burst into
laughter and kept the noisy mirth going
so long that good part of the spoken
lines by the characters were not heard
for a long time 1t was a pretty but
an odd performance, the chief enter
tainment residing in the costuming and
posing of such a large group of CHEEKY,
smiling and earnest children. It is just
to say that the little folks enjoyed the
occasion quite as much, if not more
than their elders in the auditorium.
Much the children said was not und<ar-
stood, for with few exceptions their
voices are too thin and light for so
large building, but the leaders spoke
clearly and loudly for most part ard
without haste. 1t was very ludicrous
to witness the efforts of some of the
smallest to deliver their lines with vigor
and the artfulness necessary. That in
itself afforded amusement. The little
people We're much favored by the audi
ence, and had plentiful encouraging APP
plause. By no means an entertainment
to be judged according to critical stand
ards. 1t is to be said that it was quite
worth the while to be there, simply to
enjoy the grouping of so many hearty,
healthy and pretty Sacramento chill
dren. To-night's performance will
be the last but one-a matinee closing
the entertainments tomorrow after
noon. An unannounced and unexpected
feature of last evening was the sudden
appearance upon the stage of a six
loot, stalwart, fine-looking East Indian
in turban and brown canvas uniform.
who gave the people a taste of Scotch
bag-pipe playing-an odd combination
| indeed, native of India piping away
upon the favorite instrument of the
Scottish Highlander.
