PREDICTS MIR. BRYAN'S RENON1I-
NATION AND ELECTION.
Hon. Arthur Sewall, OF Bath, Me-,
candidate for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket In 1896, was in the
city Sunday night and yesterday morn
ING until 1870 o'clock, when he left for
old Point. Sunday evening Mr.. Sewall
called upon the family OF Mr.. George
newton. at No. 461 Freemason street,
the Newtons being relatives of his. The
Misses Newton took breakfast at the
Monticello with Mr.. Sewall yesterday
morning, and after another call yester-
gay at the Newton residence the dis
tingu1shed Maine ship-builder and
statesman rode to the Bay Line wharf
accompanied by the Misses Newton.
where he took the boat for Old Point
lie left last night for Washington.
MT; Sewall came to Norfolk Sunday
evening from Beaufort, n. c. The
schooner Carrie "a. Lane, which belongs
to him. was wrecked off the North
carolina coast several weeks ago and
:nbelled In the United States Court at
ltaieigh last Friday, and it was in con
to North Carolina.
JUST as he was leaving the city yes
terday morning MIR. Sewan was seen
by Virginian-Pilot reporter. In re-
sponsc to query he said that Mr..
Bryan would undoubtedly be tho Dem
ocratic nominee next year. He was
hverse to discussing the question as to
whether he would accept the nomina
non Tor the Vice Presidency again. He
SAID he felt sure that Mr.. Bryan would
be elected this time. All indications
pointed toward big Democratic gains,
Mr.. Sewall said that the silver plank
IN the Chicago platform would be re-
peated in the next platform of the Ma
tional Democracy.
The presence in the city of the
former running mate of Mr.. BRYAN was
not known except to a few; otherwise
as he has several acuuaintancns in
mis- city. Hc is apparently in good
henith and has lost none of his former
liability. 'ie

Considerable disquietude seems to be
felt by number OF the employees at
work on the new railroad to Sewelrs
Point on account of delay in receiving
their wages for the past two weeks.
These men are employed by the Ten
mis- Construction Company, of Philadel-
phia, which has been represented here
by Mr.. Conwell. who left Nor
folk Friday, it is understood to go to
Philadelphia for funds. AT the present
time the cause for the delay in payment
is not known, and could not be ascer-
tanned. as the office Of theTennis Con-
struction Company, in the Columbia
building was not open yesterday. 1t
seems reasonable to believe, however,
that Mr.. Conwell will soon return and
all matters will be satisfactorily ad-
justed.
"A SUB-CONTRACTOR ONLY.

railroad from Norfolk to Sewelrs Point
is held by the Sanford 6 Brooks Com
pany. OF Baltimore. This company is

GOOD MOVE FOR FRANCE
DEROUrLEDE's ARREST ADDS STABILITY TO
THE NATION

Paris Feb 2i-Deroulede's comic opera coup
iq destined to cover himself and his league with
ridicule II was the one thing wanted to give
President Loubet a firm seat. and has probably
holpcd the cause Of Dreyfus revision more than
ANYTHING else that has happened for some time.
The serious apprehensions long entertained Of
a tragic issue Of the Dreyfus affair all hinged
upon fear that the army might out or re-
yenge be induced 10 forget its loyalty to the
Republic.
The anti Revisionists regarded General Roget
as one Of their staunchest supporters, owing to
tho mart he played in the Dreyfus affair. Thus
n happoncd as he did not reply to Deroulede's
fret appeal but continued marching In the d.
rection Of the Elys6e the Patriots jumped TO
the conclusion that their object was attained
and surgcd around the marching soldiers with
triumphant shouts. They were speedily unde-
ceived, and peroulede becomes sadder ana
possibly wiser man.
The public breathes freely now that II Is seen
that the army is in no mood to countenance
anti-Republcan movements, and the whole
thing will end farcically with short imprison-
ment for Derouede and n useful lesson TO the
Reaurepaircs Coppeos and others Of that ilk
General Rogets conduct IS unanimously praised
NJ D6rouede still manfully sticks 10 his guns
lie has written 10 NJ Dupuy 10 declare that he
was arrested for haranguing the troops after
having attempted 10 bring them with him, and
that hc g. determined not to shield himself be-
hind any ambiguity. Thus according to his own
admission. he IS liable TO Imprisonment for life;
but the authorities do not desire 10 give him the
halo Of martyrdom. Therefore. he Will escape
more easily.
