SEDITI0N TRIALS BEGIN
FRENCH SENATE CONvENES IN THE
LUXEMBOURG PALACE.
DerOulede, as Theatric as Ever, Calls
Himself defender of the Rights
of the People,"

PARIS Nov 9.-Crowds began to assem-
BILE an the vicinity of the Luxembourg palace
at about noon to-day in anticipation of the
opening of the sedit;on trials in the Senate.
The police formed Gordon around the
building. Traffic was not interrupted. The
police prevented fractional gatherings
around the leaders of the anti-Semites, Ma
tionalis;s and Monarchists who were pres
ent. There was slight incident on the APP
pearance of Henri Rochefort, who received
an ovation amidst shouts of hostility for
the members of the high court.
The fifteen accused men who had been
conveyed to cells in the Senate house during
the morning were conducted to their places
by Republican guards. When M. F'allieres.
president of the Senate, followed by the
law officers, took his seat at o'clock, the
names Of the senators were called. Fiji
teen of them failed to answer.
NJ. Fallieres then called the names Of the
defendants and all replied in loud tones.
M. Deroulede, replying to the usual ques-
ton as to his profession, said: Defender
of the rights of the people" An usher then
read the long indictment, to which the au-
dience paid little attention.
The Senate adjourned the public hearing
until tomorrow and deiiberated behind
closed doors on the question whether the
senators VINO were absent at the opening OIL
the sitting could be allowed to take part
in the future proceedings 1t was finally de-
cided by vote of 1S0 to 160 to exclude the
absentee senators.
During the session to-day the witnesses,
who number four hundred, having created
an uproar, were expelled in punches of ten.
The spectators left the palace without any
untoward incident occurring.
1t was rumored to-day that the govern
ment will initiate a project for declaring
amnesty in all cases connected with the
Dreyfus affair.

GREAT CONFEDERATE DAY.
Jefferson and Winnie Davis MemO-
rails Unveiled at Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 9.-This was an
other great Confederate day in Richmond,
the occasion being the unwilling, in Holly
wood Cemetery, under the auspices of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy, now
in convention here, of the memorials to
Jefferson Davis and Miss Winnie Davis.
The Daughters, in carriages, were escorted
to Hollywood by an imposing procession,
consisting of Confederate camps and mill
tary, Gen. FitZhugh Lee riding at the head
of the line. A vast crowd had assembled at
the cemetery. Governor Tyler introduced
B. b. Munford, the principal orator of the
occasion, who paid beautiful tribute to
Miss Winnie Davis, Mrs Davis, President
Davis and the 'lost cause" In concluding,
Mr. Munford said: Nor can / forbear alu-
sion TO the grateful fact that something
untimely ending of her gentle life, has
served to hush the note of sectional discord
and strengthen the influences that make for
peace. Old-time hatredS were forgotten in
the sorrow which made us all akin Union
veterans stood as a guard of honor around
her bier and generous contributions of SYM
pathy and help came from both sides OF the
Potomac to erect this monument"
The next speaker was John II. Reagan,
of Texas postmaster general of the Con-
federate States, and the only surviving
member Of Mr.. Davis's Cabinet. Judge
Reagan spoke very briefly, his remarks be-
ing confined to eulogy of his chief.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee then delivered an elo-
quent and touching address, after which

Pneumatic Tubes Favored for Hand.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-TAe annual re-
port of Second Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Shallenberger, made public to-day,
urges the handling of mails by pneumatic
tubes in congested centers of population.
Recommendation is made for $4,000 for ex-
tension of the pneumatic service, together
with $225,000 for the present tube systems
for the next fiscal year. The department has
invited proposals for carrying mail by auto
mobiles between the postoffice in Chicago
and two postal stations in the business CEN
ter and also for the same service in screen
wagons; one of these methods to be selected
later. If results favorable to the automobile
are gained from this test, ii is probable.
says the report, that automobiles eventually
will supersede the screen wagon service In
many large cities and also take the place
of electric cars for carrying mails where
automobiles are permitted TO run as fast as
the cars.

PETITION TO LEGISLATURE.
Adopted by Georgia Negroes Against
Franchise Bill.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. Sat a meeting OF
representative negroes in this city to-day
a memorial was signed asking the Georgia,
Legislature not to pass the Hardwick bill
a measure having an educational and lineal
descendant qualification. the latter known
as the grandfather" clause, which, they
declare, would effect a restriction Of suf-
frage and the disfranchisement of a large
majority of the negro voters OF the State.
The bill is now before the lower house OF
the General Assembly and a vote will prob
ably be taken in a few days. Booker T.
Washington, principal of the Negro Indus
trial School at Tuskegee. Ala. was here
to-day aiding in the campaign against the
bill. Regarding IL, he said:
There seems TO be a growing tendency
in the direction Of friendship between the
races in Georgia, but very much fear that
the passage of the Hardwick bill will tend
to widen the Ireach between the races and
thus hurt the work that some of the more
conservative colored people have been try
ing TO do in bringing about the proper rela-
lions between the races"

countered during the war with Spain in Sc

aboard the ships While these efforts were
successful the admiral says it was due al
most entirely to the near proximity or the

ficulties than were found by Admiral

This country has assumed a position OF
great responsibility in connection with the
maintenance of the sovereignty of the terri

against any aggression on the part of a
European nation, yet there is not single
port where coal or supplies may be obtained
in time of war by United States ship

of South America. In the West Indies and
the Pacific ocean we are now somewhat bet

the fall, as we'll as cut about the face and
head. His injuries may prove serious He
retained, however, sufficient presence of
mind when he recovered from the shock to
hurry to his engine and draw the fire, thus
preventing an explosion.
Train wreckers are responsible for the
accident, which happened at a point just
beyond a short trestle. Two freight trains
had passed over the road in safety a short
time before. Where the rails were spread
it was found that the bolts that held the
fish plates had been unscrewed. The nuts
were lying on the ties and the threads of
the bolts were not marred in any way. A
couple Of big wrenches, such as section
hands use, were found lying beside the
track. indicating how the rails had been
loosened
The early reports of the wreck were
alarming and the railroad company sum-
moned every available physician from To-
ledo and elsewhere. A special hospital train
was ordered from Detroit and the injured
will be taken there. Some of the less
seriously hurt were brought to Toledo on
a Lake Shore train which arrived shortly
before midnight.

OmciaIs at Washington Satisfied with
the Islands Of the Group That
Have Fallen to America.
GERMANS ALSO PLEASED
MESSAGE TO THE EMPEROR ON PAR
Triton OF THE ISLANDS.
Conference Between Secretary Hay
and Representatives of European
Powers on the Chinese Question.

WASHINGTON. Nov $50 far the State
Department has received no official state
ment OF the agreement between Great
Britain and Germany to Samoa from
London. where the negotiations have been
impending. However the officials do not
doubt the accuracy Of the press report.
The chief interest of the United States
IN the Samoan archipelago was the pres
ervation of our rights in the harbor of
Pago-Pago. a lease OF which was secured
TO us By the treaty of 1875 This did not
give us any absolute property In the is
lands: IL was provided that II was to re-
main in force for ten years from its date
and was terminable upon twelve months
notice by either party. BY a similar treaty
in the year 1879 the German government
had right to the establishment of a naval
station in Saluafata harbor in the island of
Upolu. and in the same year Great Britain
acquired the right to establish naval
station on the shores of a Samoan harbor
to- be hereafter designated by. the British
government. this privilege not applying to
the harbors of Apia or Saluafata nor to that
part of the harbor of Pago-Pago to be
hereafter selected by the government of the
United States as a station under its treaty
with Samoa.
Dy the dEIdiiStultht fcCtHtis hduc pC-
tween the governments of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany. the
United States becomes possessed of all the
islands of the Samoan group which lies east
of the one-hundred- merid-
ian of longitude. These islands comprise
Tutuila, which contains the harbor of Pago-
Page, and further east, Manua, Oloosinga,
Ofoo and Rose islands Outside of Tutuila
In this group there Is no harbor and but one
anchorage situated on the northwest side
OF Manua. In Savaii there is only one har-
Dor for ships. that of Mataatu, exposed at
all seasons: and moreover during the period
from December to April when the north
winds are prevalent it is dangerous.
In the island OF Upolu there Is no first
rate harbor. Even that of Saluafata, men,
toned above, would require very consider
able expenditure to make 1t of any use,
while the inadequacy of Apia as harbor
was clearly shown in the terrible and de-
structive tempest Of few years ago. But
in the island of Tutuia besides five reef
harbors similar TO those in Upolu there is
the harbor of Pago-Pago, which is a deep
and land-locked basin whose easy approach
and perfect security for vessels causes it
TO outweigh in value all the other Islands
az the group. IT Is generally considered by
naval experts the finest harbor in the
Pacific ocean.
