DREYFUS'S DEFENSE
Aided Considerably BY The
Testimony Of Those
Well Equipped
Witnesses.

RENNES, Aug. 30.-After the low
comedy of yesterday, the court today
settled back to the grim fighting of the
trial.
Rain was falling heavily, and the
sound of the drops increased the SOL
emnity of the room.
Mercier was the first general to ar
rive and he watched the points OF to-
days session like hawk.
The first of the regular witnesses for
the defense took the stand this morn
ing. He was Paul Meyer, member of
the institute, professor in the College
de France and director of the school
of charts.
Prof. Meyer began the work Of clear
ing Dreyfus of the guilt of writing the
bordereau, placing it upon Esterhazy.
The witness testified as he did before
the court of cessation, namely that the
bordereau Was in Esterhszy's natural
hand writing, and ia support of this he
adduced an abundance of technical and
scientific proof.
Prof. Meyer spoke clearly and rapid
ly and evidently made an impression
upon the judges.
Prof. August Molinier of the school
of charts followed Prof. Meyer and
supported his testimony in all its
points.
WOULD NOT SUBMIT.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to
the World from Rennes gives the
statements of two men, who are des-
cribed as being high in the councils OF
the ti-Dreyfusards regarding the re-
port that Generals Mercier, BOisdef-
fre. Gonse and Roget would be ar
rested and prosecuted in the event
Dreyfus is acquitted.
The men quoted said the generals
would never submit to this indignity
and that the army would rise to pro-
tect them.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
Industrial Greatness should BE Sup

Industrial Greatness Should BE Sup
pIenHented by Sea Progress.
The value of an American merchant ma
rine to the extension of our commerc al
trade and the Strengthening of our power
upon the sea invites the immediate action
of congress. Our national development
will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so
long as the remarkable growth of our in
land industries remains unaccompanied
by progress on the sea. There is no lack
of constitutional authority for legisla ion
which shall give to the country maritime
strength commensurate with its indus
trial achievements and with its rank
among nations of the earth. The past
year has recorded exceptional activity in
our shipyards, and the promises of con-
tinual prosperity in shipbuilding are album
dant. Advanced legislation for the profec-
tion of our seamen has been enacted. Our
coast trade, under regulations wisely
framed at the beginning of the govern
ment and since, shows results for the past
fiscal year unequaled in our records or
those of any other power. We shall fail
TO realize our opportunities, however, If
we complacently regard only matters at
home and blind ourselves to the necessity
of securing our share in the valuable car
rying trade of the world.
Last year American vessels Transported
a smaller share of our exports and imports
than during any former year in all our
history, and the measure of our depend
ence upon foreign shipping was painfully
manifested to our people. Without any
choice of our own. but from necessity, the
departments of the government charged
with military and naval operations in the
East and in the West Indies had to OBJ
tain from foreign flags merchant vessels
essential for these operations.

The DUTY of Congress.

The future government OF the Philip
pines rests with the congress of the Unit
ed States. Few graver responsibilities
have ever been confidcd to us. If We
accept them in a spirit worthy of our race
and traditions, great opportunity comes
shelter of our flag. They are ours by
every title of law and equity. They can
not be abandoned. If we desert them we
leave them at once to anarchy and finally
to barbarism. We fling them, golden
apple of discord, among the rival powers,
no one of which would permit another to
seize them unquestioned. Their rich
plains and valleys would be the scene of
endless strife and bloodshed- The advent
of Dewey's fleet in Manila bay, instead
of being. as we hope, the dawn Of a new
been the beginning of an era of misery and
violence worse than any which has dark
ened their unhappy past.
recommend at this time a specific final
form of government for these islands.
When peace shall be restored it will be the
duty of congress to construct plan of
government which shall establish and
maintain freedom and order and peace in
the Philippines. The insurrection is still
existing. and when 1t terminates, further
information will be required as to the
actual condition of affairs before inaugu-
rating a permanent scheme of civil gov
ernment.
The full report of the commission. now
in preparation, will contain information
congress, and which I will transmit as
soon as it is COMPLETED. AS long as the
fnSurrection continues, the military arm
must necessarily be supreme.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Status of the Negotiations for the
Inter-0cean Waterway.

Status of the Negotiations for the
Inter-0cean waterway.
The contract of the Maritime Canal
Company, of Nicaragua. was declared
forfeited by the Nicaragua government
on the 10th of October. on the ground of
nonfulfllment within the 10-year term
stipulated in the contract. The Maritime
Canal Company has lodged a protest
against this action, alleging rights in the
premises which appear worthy of con-
sideration. This government expects that
Nicaragua will afford the protestants a
full and fair hearing upon the merits of
the case
The Nicaragua canal commission,
which has been engaged upon the work
of examination and survey of ship canal
route across Nicaragua, having completed
it's labors and made its report, was dis
solved on May 81, and on June 10 a
new commission, known as the Isthmian
canal commission, was organized under
the terms of the act approved March
8, 1899, for the purpose of examining the
American isthmus with view to deter
mining the most practicable and feasible
route for a ship canal across that 18TH
mus, with its probable cost and other
essential details. This commission, un-
der the presidency of Rear-Admiral John
G. Walker, United States navy (retired),
entered promptly upon the work intrusted
to 1t, and is now carrying on examina-
tons in Nicaragua along the route of the
Panama canal, and in Darien from the
Atlantic in. the neighborhood of the Artric
river to the bay of Panama. on the Pa
cific side. Good progress has been made,
but under the law comprehensive and
complete investigation is called for, which
will require much labor and considerable
time for its accomplishment. The work
will be prosecuted as expeditiously as
possible. and a report may be expected
at the earliest practicable date.
The great Importance of this work can
not be too often or too strongly pressed
upon the attention of the congress. In my
message of a year ago I expressed my
views of the necessity of a canal which
would link the two great oceans, to which
again invite your consideration. The
reasons then presented for early action
are even stronger now.

Prosperity at Home and Peace With

The 56th congress convenes in its first
regular session with the country in a
condition of unusual prosperity of uni
versal goodwill among the people at
home and relations of peace and friend
ship with every government of the world.
Our foreign commerce has shown great
increase in volume and value. The COM
blned imports and exports for the year
are the largest ever shown by single
year in all our history. Our exports for
1888 alone exceeded by more than $l,0O0-
OOv.O00 our imports and exports combined
in 1870. The imports per capita are 20 per
cent less than in 1870 while the exports
per capita are 5S per cent more than in
1870, showing the enlarged capacity of the
United States to satisfy the wants of its
own increasing population. as well as to
contribute to those of the peoples of other
nations. Exports of agricultural products
were 1874, ne, 142. OF manufactured prod
ucts we exported in value $3.50, ,592, las, be-
ing larger than any previous year. 1t Is
a noteworthy fact that the only years in
all our history when the products of our
manufactures sold abroad exceeded those
bought abroad were 1898 and 1899.

government for indemnity for the killing

September 10, 1897. In view of the verdict
of acquittal rendered by the court before
which the sheriff and his deputies were
tried for murder, and following the estab-
lished doctrine that the government may
not be held accountable for injuries suf-
fered by individuals at the hands of the
public authorities while acting in the line
of duty in suppressing disturbances of the
public peace, this government, after due
consideration of the claim advanced by
the Austro-H Hungarian government, was
constrained to decline liability to tndem-

that the Belgian government has mitigated

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. Ga week
ago 900 miners employed in the mines
of the Diamondville Coal & Coke Com
pany, at Diamondville, Wyo., struck
for an increase in wages. Their de-
mands were refused, and small force
of non-union men went to work. At
an early hour this morning a mob of
300 women and girls, armed with guns,
knives, clubs and stones, marched to
the mines and compelled the operators
to flee.
The miners at work were dragged
from the mines and also driven away.
Several were injured by being struck
with clubs, and one man was shot at.
presumably by one of the number of
strikers concealed near the mines. The
small force of deputies guarding the
company's property was powerless.
The miners have been importing
arms and ammunition and more trou-

PROBLEM OF THE TRUSTS.
Need of EARLY Amendment of the Ex-

Combinations of capital, organized into
trusts to control the conditions of trade
among our citizens, to stifie competition,
limit production, and determine the prices
of products consumed by the people, are
provoking public discussion and should
early claim the attention of congress. The
Industrial commission created by the
act of congress of June 49, 1893,
has been engaged In extended hearings
upon the disputed questions involved in
the subject of combinations in re-
straint of trade and competition. They
have not yet completed the investigation
of this subject, and the conclusions and
recommendations at which they may ar
rive are undetermined. The subject is one
giving rise to many divergent views as to
the nature and variety or cause and ex-
tent of the injuries to the public which
may arise from large combinations con-
centrating more or less numerous enter
prises and establishments, which previous
to the formation of the combination were
carried on sepa-ately. 1t is universally
