POLICE FIND HER PAPA
PEARL PERKINS, ABDUCTED A YEAR
AGO, TURNS UP.
She Asked the Desk Sergeant for Help
u. w. Perkins, of Chicago,
Her Father.

About a week ago two little girls went to
the police station and asked Sergeant Crane
to help find J. w. Perkins, the father of
one of the girls, Pearl Perkins. She said
she had lived at Anderson, Ind, and was
here visiting her sister. Since coming here
her father had moved to Chicago, and she
wanted to go home, but she did not know
where to find him. The little girl, only
twelve years of age, did not give the idea
that her father had deserted her, but that
he had failed to write TO her and give his
new address. Sergeant Crane talked for
some time to the girls and promised Pearl
that he would ask the superintendent to
write to the police in Chicago.
A paragraph relative to the visit of the
girls to the police station which was printed
in the Journal led TO letter signed, "A
Friend of the Girl" which was sent to
Sergeant Crane, from Anderson, Ind 1t is
stated that the girl had been kidnapped
about a year ago from her father at that
place and had since been unheard of. The
letter gave the address of the father, J. w.
Perkins, and said he had removed to Chi
cago, after several months search for his
daughter.
Yesterday a letter from ]. w. Perkins, "a
Ada street, Chicago, was received stating
that his daughter had been taken from him
about year ago by the girls sister, Maggie
Boyd, and he had been unable to find her.
He said he had moved to Chicago for medi-
cal treatment, and though he did not have
enough money to send for her, he did have
a good home for her if the police could find
a way to send her TO him. He said he once
sent money to the chief of police at Terre
Haute for transportation for the girl, but
had not heard from him since. 1t is said
considerable excitement was created at An
derson at the time of the girls disappear

The Way One of Them Thinks the
Police Judge Will Act.

Pat Murphy and Pat Cook, living at Git
South Missouri street, caused the bicycle
police to make a run to that place last
night. The men had been fighting and dis
appeared. Sergeant Wallace found them
late last night and sent them in. On the
way to the station in the patrol wagon,
Murphy. who is supposed to be the ag-
gressor, though 1t is said that Cook was
willing. told Cook how it would be done to
them in the morning. Said he; They'll
bring me up first and the judgen ask,
guilty or not guilty. and I'll say not guilty.
Then they'll bring yez out and say TO yez,

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
The Cincinnati Railroads Make q
Great Feature of Them.

The Sunday excursion business Is getting
to be large factor in the income OF the rail-
roads entering the city. For several years

A Change of Tactics.

The re-entry of Lawyer Labor
into the arena at Rennes is likely to
force change of tactics upon the lead
ers of the prosecution. MERCER and
Gonse, the implacable foes of Dreyfus,
have been shelved by the admissions
forced from them, and the general
staff, whose members are fighting, not
for the condemnation of traitor, but to
save themselves from ruin and punish
ment, is wavering. The correspond
ent of the London Times 'learns on
good authority that the forces of the
prosecution, led by Gen. Roget, are
very seriously discussing the advisa-
bility of adopting entirely new tactics"
According to his information they hope
to render plausible this theory:
In the presence, as they are, of the I'M
doubted facts OF treason as proved by the
existence Of the bordereau, and quite un.
willing to admit that Col. Henry was
capable of treason; convinced, moreover,
that only general staff officer could pos
sibly have obtained the information con-
tanned in the bordereau, they ought to i'm.
pose as a solution, or as an explanation,
the idea that Dreyfus and Esterhazy were
accomplices, brought together by Weyl
of the Yacht, and thus Esterhazy's sdms.
sion that the bordereau is in his hand--s
fact accepted by the court of cessation
would be accepted by the court-msrtial
while Dreyfus would be looked upon az
the real traitor and purveyor of documents
to the military attaches of the triple al
| lance.
II need not marshall against this hypoth
esis the numerous proofs Of It's improbable
ity and even of its impossibility; but ]
mention it here, because the fact Of its be-
ing now under discussion throws a sudden
and brilliant light on the panic-I do not
hesitate to use so strong a term-which has

The TransYaal

PRETORIA, Aug. 22.-The govern
ment of the Transvaal has received a
communication from the Portuguese
governor at Delagoa bay relative to the
stoppage OF arms. Portugal's obligations
it is maintained. to all nations, includ-
ing Great Britain, required the enforce
ment of the Transvaal-P Portuguese
treaty. The Transvaal government re-
CARDS the communication as ''extreme.
ly vague"
1t is now declared that no definite
reply has been sent to the British pro-
pOsal to submit to joint commission
of inquiry the effect upon the Out
landers of the recent franchise reforms.
AS result of the conferences a COM
munication has been despatched to the
British high commissioner in South
Africa which embodies certain alterna-
tive proposals, which, it is understood,
are for five years franchise and a
one-ffth representation of the Out
landers in the First Rad, provided the
imperial government does not further
interfere in the internal affairs of the
Transyaal.

Riots in Cuba.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August 90
Five men were killed and ten wounded
last night in conflict at Cuevitas be-
tween guendarmes and disappointed
Cuban soldiers. Payment of Cuban
soldiers was in progress there. Five
thousand Cubans had gathered there
to receive pay and after three days,
only $50 had been paid. Thousands
who had been disappointed at other
points had come to Cuevitas, as the last
place of payment in the province. The
imperfect lists cause great dissatisfied
ton and rumor circulated yesterday
that the paymasters would leave to-day
alarmed the men who had not been
paid. They began to collect in groups
and to show their annoyance. Finally
their threats became serious.
Capt. Baliat with twenty gend-
armes was there to preserve order.
Suddenly Capt. Baliat, who was mount
ed, was surrounded by mob, struck
by stones and bottles and shot in the
arm. His men promptly fired volley
into the mob, three persons being in
stantly killed and thirteen woudned,
two of whom died this morning. For
few minutes there was lively con-
flict. Carbines and machetes were freely
used. Capt. Baliat was the only gen.
darme wounded. All the dead are
Cuban soldiers.
