LAB0RI GETTING WELL
Expected to Resume the Drey-
fus Trial Monday.
DREYFUS WRITES TO HIS LAWYER.

Shocked Feelings and Keen Regrets tx.
pressed for the Outrage With Profound
Gratitude for Laboris Championship
Lnb"ri's CoarRifed for Trial Papers.
RENNEs, France, Aug. 16.-Dreyfus
mas written two letters to NJ. Labori,
the first, on hearing the news of the Mt.
tempt to murder the lawyer, is a spon-
taneous expression of his shocked feel.
lngs. The second is a touching epistle,
expressing the prisoners keenest regrets
at the dastardly outrage, profound graft
tude to NJ. I4abori for his heroic cham.
plonship and heartfelt wishes for his
happy recovery.
At 8 O'Clock last night M. Labori was
removed Ill an ambulance to the resi-
dence OF Professor Basch, in suburb of
Kennes. He stood the journey well, al
though naturally fatigued. The doctors
are extremely hopeful of speedy recov-
cry, but consider it would be unwise for
nm to return to court until there is no
danger of a relapse.
M. Demange has decided to ask for an
adjournment, which has neccssitated a
written Application by both NJ Demange
and Captain Dreyfus, who have already
sent letters to the president of the court
martial. Colonel Jouaust will undoubt-
edlyaccede to the request, but he cannot
grant an adjournment for more than
two days, when the application must be
renewed. Captain Dreyfus wants the
sessions postponed until Monday next
when it is hoped that NJ. Labor will be
able to be present.
M. Labor lies on his back, unable to
move, but life is returning to the ley
which was thought to be paralyzed.
The doctors have sent to Paris for an X
ray apparatus, to locate the bullet.
The pockets of M. Labori's coat were
,rlf1ed while he was lying on the ground
wounded and an attempt was made to
steal the wallet, III which were i'm
portant papers referring to the court
martial, including his notes for the
cross examination of General Mercier.
NJ Labor saw one of two men run to
his side, One of these said: ellis coat
must be taken off. He will be too hot. {"
The speaker then took the wounded ad-
vocate's coat off and another man seized
the wallet. M. Labori, however, re-
tanned his presence Of n I'D and refused
to allow the walNet to be taken out of
his hands, putting it under his head for
pillow and holding it with one hand.

BRYAN SPOKE TWO HOURS,
An AudaeRce of Several Thousand Heard
His Des Moines Address.

An AudieGce of Several Thousand Heard
His Des Moines Address.
DEs MONIES, Aug. 16.-William Jen-
nings Bryan spoke for two hours at the
Auditorium last night to an audience Of
4,5O0 people. The house was crowded
and the audience, which included prac-
tically all the delegates to the Demo-
cratic convention, took every opportunity
to applaud. Mr., Bryan first reviewed
the record Of the Republican party, &C
cusing it of putting the dollar above the
man. He then took up the silver ques-
tion, saying prosperity did not set in an-
til six months after the election, when
the Klondike gold mines began to be
heard from.
He said: 'The Republicans who
claim that the times are better because
shs balance of trade is in favor Of the
United States give away their own po-
sition and admit the Democrat view Of
ehe quantitiye character of money is
correct. The financiers of England con-
trol the English government, through
England the rest of Europe and through
Europe the United States. The $780,
600 voters Of the Democratic party ip
1896 were for silver. The 100000 Re-
publican voters were for a platform
which called for international bimetall.-
lism. Only the Palmer and Buckner
voters were for the gold staaldard-less
than per cent, yet, now the Iowa Be.
publican platform goes step farther
and is mainly for gold alone. Moreover,
the Republicans threaten to retire the
greenbacks, though they have never
. been before the people on that ISSUE"
The speaker next went after the
trusts, but said if the Democratic party
neglected the silver question to attend
to the trusts it you'd rightly forfeit the
confidence Of the people. The money
trust was the biggest trust Of all. He
was glad the travelling men were fight
ing the industrial trusts now, but sorry
they had not seen the logic Of events in
1896 and helped to fight the money trust
then.
Mr.. Bryan closed his speech by dis
cussion of imperialism. The difference
he said, between Republic and an EN-.
pire is this, Republic needs an army
Of s5, 900 for 7o,OOo,oOo people; an en-
pire needs ap army four times that
large, when 10, ,oOO, 900 people are added.
This suits the young men who will get
fat jobs in the army, but not the people
who will pay the $l,500,000 needed to
maintain the soldiers in the Philippines:
Mr.. Bryan gave figures to show that
England and other nations do not COL
opize rapidly and said that with 20 peo.
pie to the square mile in America, and
go to the miie in the Philippines there
was no opportunity there.

Who Is Temporary Chairman--White
or Bashor Backed by the Silver Men.
Fusion Also a Possibility.
DEs MONIES, Aug 16.-This city is
full of Democrats, many Of whom came
last night, from all parts Of the state to
attend the Democratic state convention
and hear William J. Bryan, General j..
B. Weaver and others speak. Two great
meetings were held last night, the main
one at the Auditorium, where William
J. Bryan spoke to 5000 people, and the
other at the Tabernacle, where General
Weaver spoke for an hour until Mr..
Bryan came from the first meeting.
The Democratic convention is in ses-
sion. Friends of the various candidates
for the nomination for governor have
been hard at work all night and the
winner cannot be told. Cato Sells,
temporary chairman, is the candidate of
the conservative element and Rev. S. II.
Bashor Of Waterloo the candidate Of the
radical silver element. In case the
convention is unable to choose between
them on the first few ballots, there is
talk of former Congressman Fred White
as compromise. The name of M. j.
Wade of Iowa City and Mayor Baker OF
Davenport may also be considered.
For lieutenant governor, r. P. Hoist
of Boone and Ed K. Stall of Mount
Pleasant are mentioned and Hoist is also
mentioned as a candidate for superin,
tendent Of public inst,Tlct:n,!. For rail
way commissioner and si.rreme judge
no names have as yet been mentioned.
The action of the convention on plat
form and nominations depends entirely
on which wing of the party, radical OF
conservative, is in control.
Last night the sentiment seemed tc
be in favef Of Sells for governor and
silence on tbs silver question, except
insofar as adoption Of the Chicago plat,
form is concerned. The Is to l crowd
is in the majority in the convention
but the more conservative element has
the machinery and appears to be in con:
tEol,
The state Popuhst convention is
scheduled to meet here today. Most OF
tine Populist delegates are also delegates
to the Democratic convention and the
action Of the latter will determine
whether fusion will be accomplished.

VANDERBILT
INTERESTS
Outline of a Trans continental
Railway System Owned d
by Them.
SANTA FE AND PENNA. ROAD
Reiterdtion of the Rumor That
They Will Consolidate =
interests.

NEW YORK, July l2.-The Tribune
says: One of the certsinties in the not
distant future, in the opinion of Wall
street, is the establishment of trans
continental railway line under Vsncer-
bilt control. The Boston & Albany,
New York Central and West Shore are
Vanderbilt lines linking New York and
Boston with Buffalo. Buffalo is joined
to Chicago by the Lake Shore. The
Michigan Central, Nickle Plate and
Chicago & Northwestern are practically
a Vanderbilt road, stretching westward
TO Omaha, where it meets the Union
Pacific, the controlling interest. in
which the Vanderbilts are credited
with holding. 1t, IN turn, controls the
Oregon Short Line, which virtually
controls the Oregon Railway IL Nayi-
CATION company reaching the coast at
Portland. From Ogden branth short
line goes southwark TO Milford, Utah,
from which place the Utah q Pacific is
being built into California, with view
of enabling the Union Pacific to gain
entrance into San Francisco.
The Santa Fe, report has it, will be-
combined with the Pennsylvania to
form second great trans-continental
system.

Relda Mercedes to be Held as
Show Ship by the
United States.
SPAIN WANTS TO BUY HER
Believed to be Behind the Offer
Of a Firm of Ship
Brokers.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-An Offer
from prominent firm of ship brokers
doing large foreign business to pur-
chase the Rena Mercedes and any and
all other war craft captured during the
late war has aroused the suspicion that
Spain is trying in direct manner to
obtain possession of the vessels and
thus remove the offence to Spanish
PRIDE caused by floating the American
flag over her ships. The offer men,
toned no figures, but simply requested
that the navy department name price
for the Mercedes and the remainder of
the captured Spanish ships. The navy
department will not sell any of these
vessels and that answer Will be returned
to the writer of the letter.
Secretary Long decided it would not
pay to attempt to renoyate the Mer-
cedes and use it as a warship The
cost will be no less than half million
dollars and the ship would, when re-
paired, be an old type, not up to the re-
quirements of model naval ship.
Therefore the repairs that will be made
upon her will be confined to little
painting and cleaning and patching
and the Mercedes will be left as show
ship like the old Constitution, to grati-
fly the patriotism of the American
people.

ALGEis'S STATEMENT.
He Says the Attacks Upon Him
are Extremely Cruel.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Secretary
Alger today made to a representative
of the Associated Press his first per-
sonal statement concerning the reports
about resigning from the cabinet.
When asked as to the truth of the RI
mors, the secretary said: There is
nothing in these reports but air.
shall not retire this year, certainly, and
cannot say as to the future. My pri-
vate business and the state of my
health will govern my future course.
"These constant assaults and repeat
ed baseless reports are, of course, very
annoying to me, and extremely dis
tressing to my family, but have never
retired under fire yet, and do not pro
pose 10 do SO now. Nothing ! have
ever heard of or known of has been so
cruel as the attacks upon me. 1t my
critics can point to one thing in my
official career that | have done that |
ought not to have done. or that | have
not done that | should have done,
shall be very glad to surrender my off,
cial duties.n,
