CONTENTS OF The
SECRET DOSSIER

Paris, May 1.-THE Figaro continuing
it's summary and analysis of the evidence
offered before the court of cessation in
the Dreyfus revision inquiry, says it is
in a position to give the exact compost
tion of the secret dossier. This package,
it asserts, contained seven documents,
each Of which it proceeds to analyze. Re-
garding the forged letters attributed to
Emperor William, the paper declares that
they existed in the dossier but were sub
sequently destroyed. M. Hanotaux, for
mer minister of foreign affairs, on learn
ing what was going on, protested against
the use of these on the ground that they
were forgeries, but General Mercier, for
,ner minister of war, refused to repress
them. NJ. Hanotaux's protest, according
to the Figaro, still exists at the war Office
The Figaro says: When, in November,
1897, The Intransigeant alluded to these
letters Count Won Muster German am
bassador to France) went to the foreign
office and said: my sovereign does not
concern himself with forgeries, but this
is too much. 1t is beyond all bounds,
make your press shut up.'' The matter
was settled by an official denial of the
existence of the letters.
The other documents in the dossier
were only those already made public. The
Figaro then goes on to show that when
they were not forgeries they did not refer
to Dreyfus. The Brussels correspondent
Of the Figaro says a sensation has been
caused there by the discovery that the
chief of International espionage was on
terms of intimate friendship with the late
Lieut. Col Henry. This functionary se-
cured an election to the French chamber
of commerce in Brussels. When the fact
of his connection with Henry came out
he was asked to resign, but he refused.
The French minister to Belgium, M.
Gerard, begged the committe not to press
the matter, whereupon the entire admin
istrative council of the chamber, with
one exception, resigned.

As TO TIE

There seems to be some surprise that
the automobile is not coming into
vogue as fast as it's projectors expect
ed. But there is nothing surprising in
this when we take into account the one
item of cost of these horseless car
riages. So long as it costs such a pref
ty penny the automobile will be slow
of Introduction.
Still j. is coming, slowly, but surely.
According to the latest figures on the
subject, New York has about 200 horse
less carriages, Philadelphia about fifty
and Chicago nearly as many. Cleve-
land has about twelve. St. Louis five or
TX, Indianapolis about the same num-
Der, while Washington has on, 1.
Boston has two or three automobile
coupes, and there are said to be but
three of the machines in the entire
State of California. 1t has o yet en-
tered st. Paul or Minneapolis.
On the other hand the voiceless-
wheeled vehicle has made great strides
in European cities. Paris uses about
1000 of them and they are very rapid
ly taking the place of the horse in 9th
er European cities, notably Berlin,
London and Vienna.
The bicycle, or, more properly, the
L.. A. W., has, literally speaking, done
much to pave the way for the automo-
bile in the United States in the matter
of providing good roads, which are a
prime necessity for the new ~transporta-
ton device, but very much yet remains
to be done in this respect, before the
automobile can come into general use
outside of the cities. Another obstacle
is, as stated, the cost of these machines.
Until the prices charged for them are
considerably lowered it will be some
time before they come into general
use.

Persistent advertising
Brings Success.
CHEER UP

Whether it was the noise and heat
of the Glorious Fourth or merely a
guilty conscience and a p~layed-out dl-
gestive system, is not plain, but what
ever the cause the esteemed organlst
of Fourteenth street spent a very, very
bad Fourth. Early in the morning, as
is his wont, he procured a copy OF the
Register, which contained some re-
marks on the Spirit of rs as applied to
the present war of conquest in the Phil
ippines, and the wretched organist
brooded over it all day and all night
instead of enjoying the national holi-
day like a rational American citizen.
Not even the beautiful Roman candle,
the soaring skyrocket, the frisky and
uncertain "nigger-chaser' or the deto-
nation of the dynamite cracker could
arouse our contemporary from the deep
and bitter thoughts that appear to
have had their seat in his stomach.
The Register is u~nfeignedly glad that
its remarks concerning the mockery of
the Fourth of July celebration in Ma
Mia, where, doubtless, the Declaration
of Independence was blushingly and
a~pologetically read, did not at all meet
the approval of u dyspeptic contem-
pOrary. This is one infallible test by
which the Register is enabled to meas
ure the force and appropriateness of
its comments on affairs of State. The
nearer they come to hitting the bulls
eye the greater is the howl of pain from
the esteemed organist of Fourteenth
street. For this purpose he is quite a
handy thing to have around.
The celebration of Independence Day
in the Philippines was a travesty cal
culated TO set all the world laughing.
And in this connection the Fourth of
July remarks of Hon. William j. Bryan
to the Chautauqua society at Barnes
vile, Ga, are very appropriate. Mr..
Bryan said:
Holding the Philippine Islands against
the will of their inhabitants involves a new
departure in our government. / do not
want as part of this nation people who
can not read the Declaration of Independ-
ence. The doctrine of force lies behind.
not in front of us. The expansion argu-
ment is the argument of George III. Shall
we say, on this day of celebration, that we
have lived one hundred years under a
wrong principle? No. Some say take the
Bible in one ham and the gun in he other.
Thank God, am not in favor Of This way
of outstanding. We shall not depart from
a republican form of government. We are
not ready to accept the doctrine of con-
quest and force. 1t is not the desire of the
Republicans to do good. but desire TO gain
more money, that lies behind their colonial
policy"
Mr.. Bryan might have added that the
desire was not to gain more money for
the American people, who must foot
the enormous and permanent bill of
conquest without any return, but for the
beneficiaries, oilers and owners of the
Republican national machine in Wall
street.

On the anniversary of the battle of
Santiago, which was fought and won
by Schley, Mr.. Mckinley and Secretary
Long took special pains to send con-
gratulatory kilograms to Admiral
Sampson. Now Admiral Sampson had
no part in that battle, for he was seven
miles away when it was fought, and
barely got in in time to see the finish
of Cervera's fleet. The act of the Pres
ident ard his Secretary in congratu-
lating their special pet, Sampson, for a
victory, in which he had no part, and
ignoring Schley, who actually won it,
sufficiently demonstrates the calibre of
the minds at the head of this admin
istration.

THE MEANING OF THE FOURTH.

New York World.
The anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence is a fitting day to say
that the principles which it proclaimed
are as applicable tt Cuba and to the
Philippines as they were to the United
Colonies. Life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" are the "unalienable
rights" of all men, irrespective of race
or color. Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed" now as they did in 1776.
Whatever may be the errors or wrongs
of the executive department, the Amer
lean people, through their Congress,
will see TO it that our national policy
shall result in the expansion of free
dom, not in a reversion to tyranny.

A MATTER FOR INVESTIGATION.

Brother John Wanamaker, Of Phila-
delphia, alias Bargain Counter John,
who bought an appointment in Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet as Postmaster
General for 100000 deposited to the
credit of the Republican campaign
fund, is rated as a irst-class admins
tration Republican in political circles.
Brother John not long ago acquired the
Philadelphia North American" which
is consequently rated as AL among adj
ministration organs, as it always has
been.
This is merely a brief preface
to the statement that the North
American" publishes a letter from
a soldier in the Philippines, who
declares that "the gallows is not half
good enough for some of the soldiers
of Uncle Sam"
ing in the Republican party of the pa
per that publishes this letter, so that 1t
will not be charged up by administra-
ton organs, as usual, to some wicked
and reasonable Democratic paper.
The soldier who makes this astound-
ing statement is Michael Prendergast,
of the Sixth infantry, and his letter
was received by his parents who live
in a suburb of Philadelphia. Following
is the epistle:
"Villages and churches are in ruins as
the result of our ~cannonading. One church
presented a scene such as ! have never
before seen or heard of. The volunteers
found the church just as the priest left,
and so when these devils got in they COM
pletely demolished everything. They broke
to pieces the statue of the Blessed Virgin,
besides the statues of saints. After this
was done they broke up the tabernacle,
where they seized the chalice and the
blessed sacrament, which they threw upon
the floor. Not satisfied will that, they
trampled upon them. Then they put on the
priests and marched into camp
in a hooking manner.
"It brought tears to the eyes of many a
Catholic boy to see such an outrage on the
church of his faith. But the volunteers
didn't stop at this. They went into the
vaults of the church, and after breaking
them open threw the bodies in all direc-
tons in their search for jewelry and other
v~aluables. This alone is a disgrace to
Uncle Sam, and the gallows is not half
good enough for some of his soldiers"
If there is a particle of truth in this
statement of Private Prendergast, an
investigation is in order. AS to the
reliability of the writer of this letter
the North American" says: Private
Prendergast has an enviable record as
a soldier. When the war opened he
enlisted in the Third cavalry and served
with credit through the entire Cuban
campaign. After a spell of sickness he
was sent to the Philippines"
