senator Gear at Des Moines,

Des Moines, Sept. S.--Hon. John II.
Gear is at the Slavery. He was seen by
a reporter at his rooms last evening, but
declined gently but firmly, to talk at
all on the senatorial question This is
Mr.. Cumnins' home town" the senator
said, and do not care to be inter-
viewed here. / do not think it would be
right for me to do SO. If Mr.. Cummins
We're to come to Burlington, he would
not, think, allow himself to be inter-
viewed on the question of the senatorial
contest. If we We're in any other city
would gladly talk with you upon the
subject"
i came here" he said, in response to
questions 10 attend Governor Merrills
funeral and the meeting Of the state
central committee. Senator Allison
and Col. Henderson will be here in the
morning for the same purpose"
Concerning the war he said: ~ think
the war in the Philippines will soon be
ended The recent reinforcements of the
American army will change things Won
derfully, and as soon as the dry season
comes in the islands we will end the
fight there
What do you think of Bryan and
the democratic campaign? Do you be-
lieve they are going to drop silver and
make the anti-imperialism and anti
trust issues the main ones?"
No; do not think that. They will
make hard fight on the two new is
sues, but silver will have the same
prominence it has had In the past In
their speeches the democratic cam
paigners may not lay so much stress or
the silver question, but their platform
comes out plainly in Iowa and
the national platform next year
Will be an endorsement and
support of the platform of 1896. They
can't afford to let silver go now. They
have got to keep that issue in promi-
nence in order to hold their strength in
the southern and western states.
L think Bryan will be the candidate
again in the next campaign. He will
make just as hard a fight, but he won't

run SO well. Some Of his supporters
are going to go back on him. But the
big difference will be on the question
of endorsing President McKinley's adj
ministration. The voters all over the
country will express their minds then,
and the nation will furnish a magnifi-
cent endorsement OF McKinley's war
administrations
II see Governor Shaw opened the
campaign at Knoxville yesterday"
Senator Gear went on, taking another
subject. II admire the governors
speeches very much. He is a strong
man and an excellent speaker"
do you expect to take part in the
campaign this fall?" the reporter asked.
Yes; I shall make a number of
speeches, but have made no appoint
ments as yet. I have just been gather
ing the material for speech, which will
deal principally with the Philippine
question. The speech is not written yet,
but will be completed soon."

naturally would be very unsatisfactory,
as he would bear the stigma for the
rest of his days.
Capt. Dreyfus thus has five chances
against the prosecutions three. Una
nimity, six to one, five to two, four to
three, or three to four will set him at
liberty, while unanimity, six to one or
five to two will convict him. If con-
victed the judgment will be carried to
the military court of appeals, which
will be a formal matter. The special
court will only quash the indictment
and order a new trial if it should be
established that the present court mar
tial has erred in a matter of procedure
This is in the highest degree improb-
able. The court of cassat ton will also
have the right to order a re-trial if it
should decide that the court martial has
deviated from its Instructions. This is
the only loophole for Dreyfus and his
friends will undoubtedly fight this point
tooth and nail.
Extraordinary measures have been
taken to spirit Dreyfus away, whether
acquitted or condemned. His departure
from Rennes will be enveloped in the
same mystery az his arrival.

A MURDERED MAN IN A CAB
CLEVER RUSE TO GET RID OF THE
 BoDY UPSET.
HaoIKman Thought He Was Carrying n Sick Man From Long Island City to a New York Hospltal-Three Men in Charge of the Body Trick Discovered hy the Hnc I<
by the Hacknan.

New York, Dec. 10.-While waiting for an early Sunday morning ferryboat to convey party of three men who were bringing sick friend' to .Belle- vue hospital for treatment, Charles Me- Dermott, a cabman of this city, made the discovery in Long Island City that his sick" fare was dead man and that the men who were bringing the body to this city were evidently trying to cover up the murder.
 Edward R. Hamilton, colored man, twenty-three years of age, was shot and killed by Ferdinand Baer proprietor of a saloon in Long Island City, during barroom brawl early this morning. Martin Boyd, colored man, entered the saloon and got into difficulty with one of the bartenders, McNally. When an attempt was made to eject Boyd, Hamilton went to his rescue, and Pro-. prietor Baer went to the rescue of Me- Nally. Hamilton drew a knife and cor nered Baer, who drew his revolver. The colored man made several lunges at Baer, and the latter fired at Hamilton killing him instantly.
 Baer came to this city and engaged McDermott to drive to Long Island City and bring "sick friend to Bellevue hospital in this city. McDermott went over and the dead man was carried out to the carriage and accompanied to the ferry house by Baer, McNally and a man named Crooks. While waiting for a boat McDermott opened the carriage T T A1.1 @~..x l., with the sick man. He got no satis- factory answer and felt the man, dis covering that he was dead. He called policeman and the three men were arrested. Baer was held under a charge of murder; McNally and Crooks as ac- cessories. Boyd was also arrested.

Now Certain That the Steamer Wont
 Down With All Hands.

Buffalo, Dec. 10.--It is now certain that the Canadian steamer Niagara, Captain Henry McClory, foundered on Thursday evening last about eight miles east of Long Point, Lake Erie, with all hands, or sixteen persons. Tugs sent out from Port Colborne and from Buffalo to search for the missing steamer have returned bringing with them great quantities of wreckage pick ed up near where the steamer Is sup posed to have foundered. The wreckage was of such nature to prove beyond doubt that the Niagara had foundered, it having consisted of part of her deck. portions of the cabin and other material and a quantity of shingles marked Parry Sound" from which port the Niagara sailed for Buffalo The storm which destroyed the Niagara was one of the worse that ever ragged over Lake Erie. The wind was blowing gale of forty-five miles an hour and 1t was showing heavily. Even the largest and strongest boats made for shelter and it is the opinion of vessel men that Captain McClory attempted to turn his boat around and run under Long Point and in doing so encountered the full force of the storm and his craft went to pieces.
