Dement'S Only the Trusts.

Chicago, April 6.--Coionel William J
Bryan is 10 publish book entitled RE
public or Empire: The Philippine Cues

expansion from every standpoint, his ar
gument being supplemented by chapters
dealing with the various phases OF the
subject by Andrew Carnegie. George +.
Hoar, John W. Daniel. Henry Nj. Teller
and other statesmen and scholars
As 10 imperialism, MIR. Bryan says:
'Imperialism finds its Inspiration in dol

IN order to give a few spectators OPP
portunity for exploitation. it is not our
duty to sacrifice the best blood OF our Ma

stifie the very sentiments which have given
vitality 10 American institutions 1t lis not
our duty TO deny to the people OF the
Philippines rights for which our fore
fathers fought from Bunker Hill to York
iowa. Imperialism has been described as
the white mans burden. But since Il
brushes the producer beneath an increas
ing weight OF taxes. it might with more
propriety be called the poor mans load.
IF the peace commissioners had de-
manded a hsrbor and coalne station 10

Of $40 900 had been necessary to secure

EsrERHAzY's LETTERS.
I've Upbraided Fnure md Threatened
Revelations.


London April THE Daily Chronicle
this morning prints the text Of three let.
ters alluded to by examining Magistrate
Barthulus before the court OF cessation
which Major Count Esterhazy addressed
to President Faure under dates of October
90 and October 81, 1897, and November Z.
1897, letters which Esterhazy alleges were
dictated to him by Colonel Patty du Clam
The first letter complains that he has
been victimized by the Dreyfusites and
the minister Of war has ignored his appeal
for protection. He hegs VI. Faure to put
an end to the scandal
The second letter is couched In more vo-
lent terms and complains that NJ Faure
has ignored his appeal and threatens to
publish lot of papers stolen by Picquart,
which would be more compromising for
certain diplomatic personages If his APP
peals are disregarded.
Tho third, which is similar In tone, al
ludes again to the document and a pro-
lection for himself, since it proves the
scoundreism of Dreyfus" and danger for
France, because its publication will force
France to humble herself or to declare
war"
DO not leave me-" he says, 'the obliga-
ton of choosing between alternatives
equally horrible"
