A SERIES OF SENSATIONS
Confirmation of the WOrfhIeSSnesS
of Important Evidence for the
Prosecution The Prisoners s
Family Believes He Will Be Con-
viCfed, But Will Be PdrdOned by
President iOubef.

Rennes. Aug. 19.-The stage was oc-
cupied today successively by three
enemies of Dreyfus, Major Cuignet,
General De Bo:sdefra and General
Gonz, who From $50 until II a. m.
mainly devoted themselves to reiterat-
ing what Ehey had previously said in
evidence against the prisoner, who
followed thsm with characteristic
composure But when the moment
came for him to reply, the prisoner de-
Ivered one of those b-ief ntterances Of
indignation which has had such
powerful effect upon his hearers The
long monoIogues delivered by .he wiz
nesses at the beginning are heard with
a certain restlessness which settles
into general drowsiness on the part CT
the majority of the audience who are
unable to catch one cut of ten words
spoken, in consequence Cf the deplor-
able acoustic properties of the eourI
.ocm. The reporters are at al equal
disadvantage, as only a score of them
imediately beneath the stage can fol-
low the proceedings inteligently.
The mCst interesting portion Of the
proceedings was the -ust half hour
when Gonz, Picquart, BilIot and Drey-
fus were On their feet in series OF
confrOntations, a move which, how
ever, had dramatic elements and
which produced much emotion IN
court and occasioned from Dreyfus IN
expected outbursts Of peE.up feeling.
The prisoner spoke several times to-
day with an Indignation which rang
sincere. But he never struck those
chords that thrilled his hearers last
MOnGay and Saturday
The confrontatiOns of Dreyfus, and
.hsn Picquart with Gecsrals BilIot
and Gonz were only side issues which
did not raise questions of fundamental
impo-ta But from the point of
view of the prosecution, it is always
a clever game to bring the generals on
the stage in the role of indignant de-
tenders C the homer of the army, for,
as superior officers, their appearance
is bound to exercise i certain i'm
preston.
Moreover, today gave General Billot
an opportunity for one of those melo-
dramatic speeches on the loyalty Of
former ministers of war, which al
ways go down with the crowd and
which this morning elected an ous-
burst of cheering from the public in J
court, which demonstration was
quickly suppressed by the gendarmas /
and the heanng was adjourned until !

great many complaints have been
made to the police that gambling has
been going on upon some of the steam

lice have warned the captains, but
the latter have def1ed them. This is

lay, released on bail All the crew,
save the engineer, were arrested, and

pected that she would have him arrest

fine of s. fer disorderly Conduct, and
had decided that the kisses We're worth
that price. He would be perfectly
satisfied TO settle up on that basis.

face that charge. He furnished Sc

MINERS IN DEMAND
Lack of WOrkmen in Lake
Superior Copper Mines
Most of the nen Used in ODeniSa
New Properties, and Old Pro-
Producers Suffer-AriZOHa Has
Drawn Heavily on flinerS.

Houghton, Mich. Aug. 19.-Desrite
an increased demand for copper at .-he
/ highest prices known for many years
production is decreasing. With labor
of all kinds arriving on every train
and 5000 more men employed than one
year ago, the demand for labor was
never SO great as now and not since
the civil war period have the mines
suffered so greatly from a shortage of
workmen. The industry is expanding
so rapidly that in present actual pro
duction there is a contraction.
The nearly Lw0-score new mines being
opened or reopaned all employ men, in
forces CT fifty or even less up to a full
thousand, as in the case of the Ar
cadian. The opening of new mines IN
Arizona draws wOrkmen from the old
er properties and the drain has been
severely felt by all of them. The pro-
duct of unsmelted copper of the
Quincy nine Was less than 700 tons
last month, in place of an average OF
above 500 ions maintained for more
than year previous. This was due to
sheer inability 10 find the miners to
get out the rock With a total force of
l ,250 employees, the Quincy has at pres
er,5 less than 400 miners. The Osce-
ola IS making less copper than usual
for the same reason.
The Franklin, idle since December
l, through the destruc,ton of the old
stamp mill by fire, IS again working
and, like all the other mines, is find
ing trouble in getting an adequate
fcrce of woTkmen.
Presideris H. F. Fay of the Centen-
NAL, MayfiCwer and Elm 1iver prop
el,ies, is inspecting his mines here.
The Elm River now has nearly 200
men employed. A new townsite has
besn planted at the Elm River prop
erty and contract let for the erection
of ths first forty-eight houses.
The Calumet & Hecla, which has
heretofore bougL., nearly al its Ium-
Der and timber, has decided to become
Independent of the mill owners and
will build extensive sawmIlls at Lake
Linden, where it's stamp mills, smelters
and cCa1 sheds are located. The C. <
H. people have also made extensive
improvements on the Torch Lake ca
nal, which conects Torch lake with the
PC-:age lake waterways, and by next
season there will be twenty-one-
foot channel up to the wharves OF
Lake Linden and South Lake Linden.
No figures have yet Deen given out
by the Arcadlan nagement regard
ing the percentage Of copper being
saved at the new stamp mill, but there
is every indication that the results
will prove satisfactory. The single
stamp now in commission is treating
more than 500 tons of rock daily, and
when the second and third stamps are
added the Aroadian will take rank
among the large producers Of the dis
trict
A contract has been lst for the con-
struction of q new stamp mill for the
Isle Royale Consolidated company at

for careful consideration. He there
fore referred the matter to the law Of

on to Attorney General Griggs. In

ANOTHER car load of democratic
ammunition has been exploded and
democrats are down cast. Ever since
the conviction of Captain Oberlin M.
Carter for embezzling government
funds, the necessity of revising the re-
cords has been made a point of bitter
attack by the enemies of the admins
tration. The offence of Captain Cart
err was very grave one. The period
years, and other army officers as we'll
as prominent civilians were involved
with him. Captain Carter had charge
as engineer officer of river and harbor
Improvements along the gulf
and southern Atlantic coast.
He organized paper con-
tracing and supply companies of
which he himself was either the sole
owner or principal stock holder. In
the name of these companies he would
bid on all contracts. OF course his
concern would invariably underbid all
competitors,a and finally legitimate COM
peting concerns stopped bidding al
together, while those whose. conscien-
ces. were not SO well developed entered
into league with the honest captain
When the crisis came it was found that
Carter had made nearly half q million
dollars through his schemes, and
that the government had been
defrauded, directly and in
directly, of over two millions.
The court martial found him guilty
and sentenced him to dishonorable dis
charge from the army, three years i'm
prisonment, and fine of ten thousand
dollars. The case was referred to the
president for review and approval.
Tremendous pressure was brought to
bear from various highly influential
sources to have the sentence set aside
or mitigated. 1t became evident that
Captain Carter had plenty of friends in
high places, some OF whom, it was free
ly alleged, had become SO deeply in
volved with the convicted officer
that they must stand or fall with
him. President Mckinley, anxious as
always to administer strict justice,

LIKE so many democratic schemes,
the "Grand democratic carnival and
dollar dinner' at Dallas today and
great thing for Dallas, butt remains to
be seen whether the democratic ma
tional committee will make as much
money out of the affair as is expected.
1t seems that the national committee
agrees to pay the Dallas Fair associa-
tion ten thousand dollars to control the
two days and in return the committee
is to receive half of the gate receipts
at the fair for those days. 1t is called
a dollar dinner,"but the:actual.cost of
the dinner to the host will be about
eleven cents per victim. The
dinner will be served by a Dallas
grocer who has the lunch stand privi-
leges at the fair. The "dollsr dinner"
and the ''grand democratic rslly''are
really small items, the expectation of
the national committee being that i'm
mense crowds will pay the admission
price during these two days in order to
see Bryan, take in the horse races, Wis
it the midway, and ride on the
10 errygoround. With these and other
first class attractions, the national
committee evidently expects that the
cradle sum to the deficient campaign
fund, which is being gathered with
such manifest difficulty.
