If the advice Of the Every Even
Ing and one or two other papers of
Delaware is taken, the saviors of
the Republican party and the State
will now step forward and organize
a new political party to rescue the
same from the grasp Of unscrupu-
lous politicians. They seem to for
get one thing, and that is that it
takes money, the root of all evil, to
advance the process of such an I'M
dertaking. Money as we'll as votes
are needed; who will be the men
who will put their hands in their
pockets and fill out their checks for
the necessary amount? Don't all
speak at once, gentlemen Itbegins
to look now as if there would be in
Vulnerable political parties in our
State. AS it is now, they may be
designated as the Regular, Union
and Independent Republicans, Gold
and Silver Democrats, Temperance
and Single Takers, with half a
dozen more to hear from. My, what
lhuuuie the pOlltlcS OF Delaware
are in since the Legislature has adj
journed. Mr.. Willis will be known
as the leader of the Abraham Lin
coin Willis Republicans, Mr.. Ad-
dicks, as the leader of the Union
Republicans, Mr.. Higgins and Mr.,
Samuel Bancroft as the leaders of
the new citizen party. L. Irving
Handy as the leader of the Silver
Democrats, ex-senator Geo. Gray
as the leader of the Gold Democrats
and Horace Siddell as the leader of
the Single Takers and W. w. Bull
lock as leader Of the Temperance
party. There you are and the vot-
ers can now take their choice whom
they will follow, shout and throw
up their hats for at the coming city
election.

COURT OF CESSATION
WILL SAVE DREYFUS
New Trials to Be Ordered Until the
Court Martial Acquits the
Prisoner

SEATTLE, Aug. 20-M. Leon Bureau of
Paris, formerly private secretary of NJ
Labor, is in the city guest of DR..
Adriene Monod the French Vice Consul
He said to-day the present trial of Drey-
fus would result in his acquittal. If a
verdict of guilty were returned the Court
of Cessation, the highest French author
ity, would at once set 1t aside and order
another court-martial, and so on until
Dreyfus be acquitted. This court knew
that French law was being juggled by the
military court, and had two grounds on
which it could set aside such a sentence
First, violation of the law, and, second
abuse Of power.
when the Court Of Cessation sent
Dreyfus back for d second trial he was
remanded on the charge of having been
the author of the bordereau, said NJ. Blu
be tried for. Instead of sticking to this
the court has permitted witnesses to talk
OF his relations with women and other
outside matters, which is directly vio-
lation of French law"
NJ. Bureau said 1t was within the power
of the Court of Cessation to have decreed
Dreyfus innocent. In fact, there were but
two things for that tribunal to do-either
adjudge him not guilty or send him back
for retrial. This latter proceeding was
deemed best through a retrial a me-
dunn would be furnished and so give the
military party a chance to redeem itself
1t would look so much better in the eyes
of the world and help to take away the
odum any acquittal by the Court of Cas-
sation would make.

ClEMENCEAU,S REVIEW
OF THF DREYFUS CASE
Says the Trial VIII Last Much Long
er Than Was at First
Expected

NEW YORK. Aug 20-The Journal has
the following from Paris: George Clemen-
ceau in a review of the Dreyfus trial,
says: The trial at Rennes will surely last
much longer than was expected at first
At this present moment there are enough
witnesses to occupy the court down to
SEPTEMBER 2, but new witnesses are gath
cred from day to day. Some capital ques-
lions, such as the MERCER Schneider for
gerry, and another very strong case which
has not been spoken of yet and in which
Generals MERCER and Chanoine are
strongly implicated, will surely occupy
several sittings of the court If matters
are to be made clear, therefore, there
is no use to anticipate the end of the de-
bates before the 10th or 18th of September,
and | should not wonder If things came
Some very important witnesses have
thus far been heard but it is a matter of
remark that they are much more tmpor-
tant by personal character and title than
by the weight of their evidence. In no
English or American or even French court
were such witnesses ever seen.
A matter of wonder is that the French
Supreme Court has increased with great
care the domain in which the Rennes
witnesses and the States Attorney thus
far have not taken into account this deci-
sion of the Supreme Court. 1t has been
settled, for instance. that the bordereau
was finally recognized as being in the
handwriting of Esterhazy, and, legally,
the only question before the court martial
IL lulS- f1dS DGtyIuS utllNeIcu 10 Tue
German Government the very documents
which Esterhazy mentioned in his bor-
dereau?'
There is not the slightest doubt left
that Dreyfus had never any connection
whatever, direct or indirect, with Ester
hazy. At no time was this point con-
tested. Nobody ever argued that the two
men ever had any. So that if the law
was followed the whole trial at Reenes
might fairly last one or two hours.
Colonel Picquart had been abused. He
did not abuse any one: He told how he
had discovered that Esterhazy was the
real traitor, not .Dreyfus He told what
he had to suffer for. 1t was not to com
plain, but to show how the plot was
formed against truth, right and law. This
he proved.
Later on when the historian shall try
to unravel the knot of this tragic i'm
broglio he will have notning to do but to
follow Picquarts' calm and conclusive
demonstration. At that time it will be
universally confessed as we already now
that Picquart is the hero.

NEW RAILROAD TO BE
COMPLETED IN A YEAR
Initial Meeting of the Stockholders of
the Stockton Sacramento
Road

STOCKTON, Aug. 20.-The initial meet
ing Of the promoters of the new railroad
between Stockton and Sacramento was
held here this afternoon. Those present
voted to keep ali the plans secret for the
present. several declaring there had been
too much discussion already The result
of the meeting was the election of H. T.
Compton as chief engineer, and authori-
cation was given him to start the survey
as soon as he can make necessary prepa-
rations. 1t was further decided to incor-
porate and establish headquarters in this
city.
The present identity Of those interested
will not be made public, but the personnel
of those present at to-dayS meeting in
dicates that several farmers and shippers
are the prime movers. A positive denial
is made that the Santa Fe is in any way
interested, and those enlisted in the en-
terprise are confident that an independent
line through the upper valley will be com
pleted within twelve months. 1t is learned
on the outside that the company has the
option on valuable piece of water front
property located on the north side of the
Stockton channel. There is already a
bulkhead on it and several miles of grade
running north which was completed sew
eral years ago for a road which was to
have been known as the Lodi Terminal
Railroad.

NEARLY WRECKED
BY A HURRICANE
Terrifying Experiences of Passengers
on the Kansas City, Off Cape
HatteraS

SAVANNAH, Ga. Aug 90 The
steamer Kansas City which reached here
this morning fifty hours overdue, had a
thrilling experience in the West Indian
hurricane. The steamer encountered the
storm off Cape Hatteras, and battled with
1t for two days. The ship was driven
100 miles off her course seward. The sa-
loon was flooded with water, the passen-
gers were wet, bedraggled and sick, and
some of the women became historical
Most of the passengers remained in their
rooms, and those on the upper deck were
unable to get out. The ship rolled and
lurched as the huge waves struck her
and broke over her decks. The doors and
windows were battered, and every mo-
ment during the fierceSt of the storm II
was feared that the skylights would be
broken in and let the waves through. At
one time danger of fire was added to the
horror of the storm. Friday morning the
electric light wires set fire to the casing
in the after companionway. The fire
worked its way along the casing to the
main saloon. The alarm was given i'm
mediately. and the call to quarters was

the call, and the fire was subdued All
the casualties were among the officers
and crew. Captain Fisher was injured.

MAJOR HARRISON ILL
WITH YELLOW FEVER
The First Case That Has Occurred in
the New Camp at Girls
AL

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 2O.-Major
Russell Harrison, inspector general, is
critically i'll with yellow fever The dis
ease has progressed for three days, al
though it was not pronounced yellow fever
until this afternoon. The case is the first
to occur at Cristobal, to which place the
headquarters was removed last month to
escape infection.
OF late the quarantine rules have been
relaxed owing to the fact that there have
been no cases in the city, and the officers
from headquarters have been in the habit
of coming to Santiago daily and returning
to headquarters at night. Major Harrison
has been isolated, but not brought to the
fever hospital.
The Army and Navy Journal. in it's is
sue of August IL, reports the death. from
yellow fever, of Private Beattie of the
Eighth Infantry, the report bearing the
signature of Major O'Reilly. This is an
error, due to translating dead the word
in the code message, which should have
been rendered sick
Beattie had a very light case, and 1t is
even doubtful whether the disorder was
yellow fever He has been on duty now
several days since his convalescence.

IGNORANCE CAUSED
THE RESURRECTION
President Schurman Of the Philippine
Peace Commission Talks of
the War.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Jacob Gould Schur-
man. United States Commissioner to the
Philippines, arrived in Chicago to-day
from the islands, of which he has just
completed a six months study at the in
stance of President Mckinley. He left
for his home in Ithaca, N. Y. and will
report to the President as soon as meet
ing can be arranged. In an interview he
said:
So far as the results of my official
negotiations with the representatives
of Aguinaldo or other Filipino officials
We're concerned, l am not at liberty to
talk of them till l have made my re-
port to the President concerning the
islands in general. However, there is
much to be told. In my opinion the
rebellion the last of which We are try
ing to suppress, was due in the first
place to several causes, the principal
of which were the tyranny of some of
the religious orders, the exercise of ar
bitrary power by the Governor Gener-
ais and the delay and corruption of
justice.
The leaders of the rebellion tell their
followers the most astounding tales of
the Americans, and the common peo-
pie believe that the priests under
American rule would subject them to
the same tyranny. That the American
army killed priests or otherwise NAL
treated churchmen or church property
is itself utterly without foundation
Aguinaldo is believed in the islands
to be honest, and / think he is acting
honestly in money matters, but wheth-
er from moral or political reasons I
would not say. While / don't care to
discuss the real motives behind the re-
bellion at this time, L will say that
If it were suppressed there would be
many prominent native officials out of
an occupation.
Mr.. Schurman declined to answer the
question as to whether he had been the
nications, saying that on that question he
would not speak. He said that the re-

off on the map but he has also taken into
consideration such information as can be
obtained relative to the population of the
adjacent country, the kind of people and
their disposition toward the United States
The Secretary has been studying the lines
of transportation and learning what he
can OF the geography of the country.
1t is believed that more than one army
may operate to advantage in the Philip
pines. and the suggestion has been made
by some army officers that an army
should start from different points and
operate in such a manner as to distract
and destroy the Filipino forces.
At present the United States forces do.
not occupy the line of railway halfway
to Lingayen, on the gulf of the sama
name. 1t has been suggested that If one
force were to start from Idngayen and
move south at the same time that another
was moving north there would be a ytarv
great probability of soon securing the
and the insurgents would be separated
into divisions east and west by the rail-
road as they are now divided into north
ern and southern bands. Between Angeles
and Lingayen is Tarlac, a town of con-
siderable size and situated in province
where the natives are said to be not IN
friendly to the United States If this
province could be occupied it might he ~
great advantage to the Government. -

MONEY FROM ABROAD
TO ASSIST DREYFUS
French Paper Declares Thirty-Five
Million Francs Were Sent to
His FRIENDS

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-The Echo de Paris,
in commenting upon the testimony Of
fered at Rennes by Captain Cuignet, for
mer attache of the Ministry of War, to
whom was assigned last year the task of
collecting matter bearing upon the Drey-
fus, Picquart and Esterhazy affairs,
says:
Captain Cuignet's evidence shows that
the whole secret dossier has been
communicated to the court-martial A
document has been withheld which
proves the existence of vast network of
espionage under the direction of foreign
military attaches and of negotiations on
the subject of the Dreyfus case between
several French notabIes and the repre-
sentatives of foreign powers.
THE dossier, moreover, contains proof
that the sum of 50, 900, 900 francs was re-
ceived in France from abroad for the
purpose Of prosecuting a pro-Dreyfus
campaign"
The Liberte says that the Dreyfus trial
