A WASHINGTON dispatch to the A

"A Washington dispatch to the At
lanta Journal says that President Nc
Kinley has reconsidered the permis-
sion that he recently gave to Colonel
James II. Tillman for the organization
of company of Indians. This is too
bad. 1t will cause suspicion on the
part of great many people in this
part of the country that after all the
president really has no sincere desire
to put an end to the war.

Count Esterhaxy Contends That 1t waa
Illegal, But just.
Paris. July 2O.-The Matin this
morning publishes statement from
Comte Eel dinand Walsin Esterhazy in
which he says that he wrote the border
can by order of Colonel Sandherr, and
that lie it was sent to the house of Col
onel Schwartzkoppen, then military at.
tache at the German embassy in Paris.
whence it was returned to the wal
Office. Colonel Schwartzkoppen, being
at that time in Berlin, never saw the
bordereau, which was forged in order
to supply material proof Of the guilt
Of Dreyfus.
The statement contains the assertion
that secret agents in Berlin. whose tes-
timony it was impossible to use. had
demonstrated that leakages had oc-.
Cured in the war Office, and the fact
that treason existed was undeniable,
and everything indicated Dreyfus AZ
the traitor.
All the war ministers. the statement
further says. knew the facts and
thought the forgery of the bordereau
necessary. The evidence duplicating
Dreyfus were the words Of Colonel
Schwartzkoppen's mouth. Generals
MERCER, De Boisdeffre and Come
knew the bordereau was forged and
that Dreyfus was Illegally but justly
convicted.

Municipal Governments in Philippine
Cities-Commission Reports to Hay.
Washington, July 2O.-The follow
ing statement was giving out this after
noon at the state department.:
1.-THE state department received yes
terday from the Philippine commission
advices conveying these facts:
''By the cooperation of the military
and the commission, municipal govern
ments have been established in seven
complete towns in the provinces OF Ma.
Mia and Cavite. These are working
admirably, and one good effect of them
IL that considerable numbers of insur-
gents are constantly DESERVING and COM
ing in, some of them with arms. The
system will be soon extended to other
towns, which are asking for it. Con-
tinued success in this direction will
mean the beginning Of the end. The
com missioners state that the general
situation is as described in the message
of General Otis of June 26, excep: that
a number of ports in the southern part
of Luzon, in Leyte and other islands to
the south have been opened to trade.
Dispatches from Dr.. Schurman, on his
return from his trip through the south
ern part of the archipelago were of the
same purport. A disposition to accept
American sovereignty and to welcome
our troops was everywhere manifested. !"

whv Women Ar. N.rvou..

The frequent cases OF nervous prOstra.
ton or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women "go all ia
pieces" as the saying is. have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are we'll
known to cause various forms of nerv.
ous diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth
or research leads to the belief that
alum is a prevailing cause Of so-called
nervous prostration. for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
it's absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys.
iologically made upon animals by
Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seim and others, show that alum fre.
quently produces no visible symptoms
for many days after it's introduction
into the body. Then follows loss OF
appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances. and finally a serious prostration
,of the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now believe
that nervous prostration" and many
affections of the nerves from which
both men and women suffer are caused
by the continued absorption OF alum
into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro.
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum. however.
Is still used surleptitiously to some ex.
tent to whiten bread, and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow.
der. In families where baking powder
lis generally used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may be distinguished by the
lower price at which they are cold =

Washington. July 2l.-Alger has

tematic manner of ignoring him as u
cabinet officer and secretary of war re.
suited in his finally handing to the
president his resignation. The uni
versal demand of the mem bers of the
cabinet that Alger get out has had it's
influence, and the cold shoulder he has
received IN the cabinet, together with
the fact that Coz bin has taken every.
thing out of his hands in the war de.
partment. made the position untenable.
1t is believed that Vice-President
lobart, acting as a mutual friend OF
Mckinley and Alger. helped to bring
about the resignation.
Alger intends to make the president
somewhat responsible for his retire.

effect upon the pleasure Of the presi.

occurred at Zofata, in the Sautele dis
trict, one Malietoan chief was mortally
wounded and two Mataafa chiefs and
one Sautele were killed and three 9TH
ers wouned. The British cruiser Cor
morant arrested three chiefs and
brought them to Apia for trial before
the supreme court.
The joint commissioners will leave
for Washington July l8. Chief JUS
tice Cham bers will leave for San Fran
cisco on the steamer Moana, July Il.
Not desiring to return. he has sent hi
resignation to President Mckinley,
who does not wish his resignation.
The question whether this constitutes
a vacancy i'll the chief justiceship is be-
ing discussed by the commissioners.
DR.. Solf claims that he will preside
over the supreme court if Cham bers
leaves the island. II there is a vacan-
cy. then either Hunter or MAR may be
designated to fill the chief justiceship.
The commissioners are much blamed
for not ordering the restitution of CleOt,
taken by the rebels.
Mataafa partisans among the rebels
are raising funds to fight the kingship
question through lawyers. and are con-
fident of obtaining rehearing. Ma
taafa, however, accepts the abolition Of
the kingship. and will be present at a
meeting with the commissioners on
Sawaii island. His supporters requests
the dismissal o. Chief Justice Cham
bers and defy the order Of the supreme
court.
The International commissioners are
today at Lufi Lufi. meeting Mataafa
and Atua chiefs.

others were working on ladders and in

lapsed, the roof and floors crashing
down into the basement. The fremen

that many of the firemen were not
