Paris, June 20.-The approaching ar
rival of Dreyfus at Rennes is causins
an influx of foreigners. The hotels are
besieged with applicants for rooms
which command immense prices. The
arrangements for the conveyance of the

tions.
Dreyfus is expected to reach Brest
early in the morning and precautions
have been taken to prevent anybody
from seeing him either at Brest or at
Rennes.
The Figaro today says it under
stands Dreyfus will arrive at Rennes

Bold Case of kidnapping at Detroit,
Michigan.
STOLEN FROM HIS FATHER
MENTALLY INCOMPETENT AND
WORTH 100000.
Believed to Have Been Spirited
Away By His Aunt, to Whom His
Fortune Would Revert In Case of
His Death-Detectives Securing
the Country.

Detroit, Mich, June 20.-Moses Fow-
Ter Chase, aged 21, alleged to be men,
I tally incompetent, and reputed to be
worth S6OO,000, was abducted from the
Hotel Cadillac last Sunday night. He
/ had been patient at a Sanitarium in
4 Flint, and was en- route to his home
in Lafayette. Ind, accompanied by his
father, Frederick Chase, a lawyer.
! When the father and son arrived here
the young mans aunt met them at the
! depot and hurried the youth to the
Cadillac. Sunday night a carriage drove
up to the hotel and young Chase was
taken to the Cleveland boat, which, in
the company of his aunt and two un-
known men. he boarded.
! On reaching Cleveland the party took
train for Cincinnati. From there they
went east to Albany. n. Y, where the
private detective that the father had
employed to watch them, lost sight of
the party. Extradition papers were
today made out in anticipation of the
party's arrest by the New York au-
thorities.
The fortune that the boy possesses is
revertable to the aunt upon his death,
which, it is alleged, furnished a motive
for the supposed abduction. The police
of New York, Boston, Portland and
Montreal have been notified to be on
the watch for the party. The father
and his attorney believe that the OBJ
ject of the alleged abductors is to take
the young man out of the country.
1t is stated that upon young Chase
attaining his majority the fathers
guardianship ceased. and that the
father was taking him to Lafayette for
the purpose of himself being contin-
ued as his guardian by order of the
probate court.
New York, June Notwithstanding
that the police claim that nothing is
known of Moses Fowler Chase, he has
been in the city since Monday night.
Chase is registered at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel with c. II. Duhme and
the latter's wife.
The night clerk at the hotel said this
morning that he understood Mr.. Duhme
and his wife are the uncle and aunt of

Gov.-Gen. Brookes, in command Of
the American forces in Cuba, is not
experiencing happy time placating
those over whom he has been placed.
He has 100000 to give to the Gu
ban soldiers, which sum divided
amounts to SO for each private, but
as the officers do not like the terms
upon which this money is being turn
ed over TO the privates, they are de-
clining 70 identify those who appear
for their share of the fund. And
then, there are not as many claimant Is
for this fund as was expected, which
is rathor perplexing. The truth is
the United States have in Gu ban &C.
cupation an elephant on their hands.
The better class of that island want
the United States to hold it, while
many of those who have been used TO
a condition of brigandage want our
country to turn the island over to
their management. If this is done
we will see repetition of the scenes
witnessed in the South during the
reconstruction period.

Antitrust Banquet.

Fourteen hundred people attended
an antitrust banquet given at St.
Louis last Thursday. Among the
men Of prominence present was Col.
W. J. Bryan, who made q speech,
from which We extract the following:
GAO actor who visited Nebraska
recently, upon learning from q re-
publican that confidence had been re-
stored, remarked that be had exam
ined Webster's dictionary to learn
what confidence meant, and found
confidence defined as trust aud then
be understood that confidence had
been really restored. More trusts
have been formed during the last two
years than existed at the beginning
Of the present administration, and
the nominal capitalization of the
trusts in existsnce approaches, if it
does not equal in amount, the world s
total supply of gold and silver. The
influence of these trusts has become
so enormous that the people, without
respect TO party, are asking them
selves how the evil can be remedied.
1t has been said that the power TO
tax Is power TO destroy. \ monop-
oily possesses the power to tax; IL can
levy such assessments as il will upon
the purchaser, and we can no more
afford 10 permit such a power TO be
exercised by private individuals than
we could afford TO authorize private
individual TO use the machinery of
taxation In order 20 enrich himself at
the expense Of his fellows. One of
the difficulties which has been en-
countered in opposing trusts is that the
trust hides behind the federal consti-
tuition when attacked by State legIs-
lation, and shields itself behind the
charter when attacked in the federal
courts. No remedy will be complete
that Is not cOextensive with the fed
eral government. The republican
party Is impotent 70 DESTROY the trusts.
1t is controlled BY those who are in
tere5ted in trusts, aud its campaign
funds and sinews Of war are supplied
by the trusts. Abraham Lincoln, at
the very beginning of his presidential
career, warned the country against
the threatened attempt 70 put capital
above labor in the structure of the
government. Modern republicanism
is fulfilling the prophecy made by
Lincoln; tits putting the dollar above
the man. The democratic party is
opposed TO the principle of monopoly
wherever it manifests itself. 1t has
declared war on the trusts. Not a
little trust, but big trust as we'll.
Not against one kind of trust only.
but against all trusts.

a SAD CAsE.-The Martinsburg
papers say that Mrs. Mary Susan Cal
lahsn was last week committed to
Jail by justice MoOrehead Miller,
pending preparations to have her re-
moved to the State insane asylum at
Weston. The circumstances that led
to this action are as curious as they
have been unfortunate. Mrs. Gala
han was the wife of Mr.. Thomas Cal
lahan, who lived on the Miller farm.
near Shepherdstown. Something
over a pear ago a party of gypsies
were carnped near her home. A gyp-
sy woman one day came to the house
and asked to be admitted and be al.
lowed to tell fortunes. Mrs. Gala
han met her at the door and told her
to go away. The gypsy departed, and
as she was leaving, she flung back the
remark that her husband would die
within two months. Mr.. Callahan
was soon afterwards taken sick and
did die about two months afterward.
and his death, together with the pre-.
dlction OF the fortune teller, caused
her to lose her mind. Ever since his
death she has been grieving over the
thought that her turning the gypsy
woman away had something to do
with the death of her husband. and
her mind gave way under the strain.

"The helpless natives Of the Phil
ippine Islands are an outraged peo-
pie, and our war with them is a cruel
and needless one" were the words
spoken by former Secretary John
Sherman during a short wait at the
Union Station, Pittsburg, one day
last week on his way from Washing
ton to Mansfield, Ohio. He added:
Gone cannot imagine a more unfor-
tunate war than the present struggle
with the natives of the Philippines.
We were wrong from the beginning,
and should have withdrawn our
forces from those islands when our
war with Spain was over, as would
have been becoming for so great
nation as the United States. The
Philippine question will not be an is
cue in the national campaign of 900.
1t will be settled before that time,
The end is approaching, l believe"

AS Col. Bryan admits that there
may be graver issues than the one of
free silver in 1900, he ought not to
be SO ready to exclude gold demo-
Gratis from taking any part in the
councils of the democratic party.
Col. Bryan says the democratic forces
in the north and east are stronger
than they were in 1896. Ifhe judges
by results, he ought not to overlook
the fact that these results were Sc
cured by pursuing policy Of har-
mony. 100000 is big vote, but
