PROCEEDINGS.
A Rather Tame Session of the Court
 at Hennes.

Rennes, Aug. 30.-The absolute insig- nihcance of ex-Minister de Freycinets evidence was the most surprising feature of the session of the court martial yes terday. The Little White Mouse" look ed winter than ever. but diplomacy show ed no signs of falling of with age.
 Although unable to confirm General Mercier's statement, made on De Frey cinet's authority. that 35.0OO.000 francs had been raised in England and Germany in order to get Captain Dreyfus back from Devils island. he framed his depo- sition in such a way that General Mer- cier has no need to make further expla- Iations.
 Colonel Cordier's evidence, through the witness eccentricity, is not treated se- riously even by his friends. It seems, however. of the utmost value as showing the anti-Semite feeling pervading the general staff at the time of Dreyfus' en- try in 1894 and the eLe-arsh disposition of the u..---a-r's farmer colleagues.

excursion into the country. Dr. and

vited friends who had signified a de-
sire to be present and see the little ones
enjoy the pleasures of the country.
The morning hours were taken up by
the children running and romping i'll
the fields and in playing games. Ten
mis- and croquet served to amuse the
older members of the party, and, all
though the day was exceedingly warm,
all seemed to enjoy themselves.
At o'clock lunch was
spread beneath the elm trees on
the lawn. After a hearty meal, the
children were ready for more fun and
exercise and were 10th to bid their
friends adieu at 4 o'clock, and return
to the city.

ceeds of which, upwards of $500, was
turned over to DR.. Mix for use in the

THE BATES CANDIDACY.
Friends of the Speaker Organize and Issue
Statement.

The committee in charge of the move
ment favoring the candidacy of Hon.
John L. Bates for lieutenant governor
has effected an organization and cho-
sen ward committees. Meetings will
be bsid regularly from this time on in
thef1nterest of the movement
The committee, through it's chairman,
Hon. Z. B. Crane, has prepared the fol-
lowing statement
There seems to be no opposition to the
nomination of Hon. w, Murray Crane as
the next republican candidate for govern
or of Massachusetts. But for the second
place on the state ticket there have been
two names mentioned. One of them that
of Hon. John L. Bates of Boston, present
speaker of the House of Representatives.
He is gentleman well and favorably
known to many Worcester people, He
was classmate at the law school with
our esteemed city solicitor, Arthur p.
Rugs, Esq, as well as with His Honor
Mayor Dodge.
John L. Bates has annually been elected
to represent his district in the legislature
since the year 1894. The talent he dis
played IN that body soon placed him in
the front rank among its active members.
In 1897 he was unanimously elected
speaker of the House, where his services
as presiding officer were at once rec
ognized And his reelection to the posi-
ton of speaker has only followed as a
spontaneous recognition of his signal
ability and thorough qualification for the
Office.
Thus he has risen from one station to
another purely through honest merit and
real worth.
The friends of Hon. John L. Bates of
Boston, in presenting his name as a can
didate for acknowledgements give the
republicans of this commonwealth an OPP
portunity to vote for a clean, honest up
with legislative duties and all transact
tons pertaining to the needs of the
state.
