NJ. LEBON
Gives an Extremely Lame Excuse for
Maltreating Dreyfus.

PARIS, July I'm Lebon, the for
mer minister of the colonies, has adj
dressed a long letter to the govern
ment in reply TO the charges of Louis
Havet, member of the French Insti-
tute, who accompanied Nine. Dreyfus
to Rennes, who alleges that Dreyfus
was cruelty treated in his island prison.
The former minister says no one in
1896 questioned the justice OF the ver-
dict of the Dreyfus court-martial; that
in September, 1896, it was reported
that an American vessel was about to
rescue the prisoner, and there was
some talk among the wardens as to the
possibility OF his escape. Hence M.
Lebon became solcitous for the safety
of the prisoners and ordered Dreyfus to
be confined in his hut with double
locked doors, but with a sentinel in
side until the hut was surrounded by
a palfgade, when the hut might be
opened The building Of the palisade
occupied longer than was expected,
but no harm to the health of the pris-
oner was reported.
NJ Lebon denies tampering with the
correspondence of Dreyfus.

TIN PA SCALE
Has Eesn Practically Settled Agree
msDt Believed to Be as Good as
Reached Men TO Get an Advance
Of 10 Per Cent.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Ears instead of
billets, and ratio of 0ne-savenuh in
stead of one-fifth, was agreed upon to-
night at the conference between mem
bers of the Amalgamated Iron & Steel
Association and representatives of the
American Tin Plate Company as the
basis from which the sliding wage scale
of the tin plate workers will be figured
for the coming industrial year. The
abandonment of billets as a basis from
which to do the figuring and the sub
stitution of tin plate bars in their
stead was decided on as the more
equitable from the fact that the bars
do not enter into SO many items OF fin
ished steel products. The change OF
ratio was simply a necessary detail at
tending the change of base. The
change is an important one, as each of
the items in the long list of details 60
ing to make up the new scale had to be
gone over carefully by both sides be-
fore any Roadway could be made to-
ward its adoption.
The long conference will in all like
lihC0d end tomorrow, and the mills
Of the American Tin Plate Company
will resume operations next Monday.
The advance which the men will Sc
cure over last years scale of wages
will figure out about Is per cent. if the
predictions made tonight hold good
at tomorrow conference.

Way Have Esiacats<i The Negroes.
LEXINGTON, KY. July 1.-THE Re-
publican State convention to-day COM
pleted all its work except the odOption
of a platform and the nomination OF a
ticket. 1t would have nominated part
of the ticket but for the fact that it
became entangled in misunderstanding
regarding the adoption OF the report on
rules. Those fayoring the latter not only
objected but insisted that they voted
for the majority report under the mis-
apprehension that they were voting for
the minority report. The convention
adjourned while points of order were
being raised. The evening session was
not one OF parliamentary decorum. The
delegates were kept waiting for over
two hours for the committee on ere
dentials and were not in good humor
after that time over any questionable
rulings or anything else.
The Taylor men have had their way
in eyrything to-day at the district
meetings, the committee meetings and
in the convention. They have the pre-
manent organization as completely as
they had the temporary organization,
and have reconciled the coiored eie-
ment by making a negro secretary OF
the convention with long list OF white
assistants.
The Stone and Pratt men are still
holding secret conferences at midnight
with reports that Judge Pratt may ac-
cept the nomination for Attorney GEN
eral, but Col. Stone declines minor
place and it is reported that he does
not want Judge Pratt TO go on the

PENSION COMMITTEES

ures and their administration at the in
yitation of Commissioner Evans, prac-

bers of the committee decline to discuss
the result of their labors. but it is I'M
derstood no substantial foundation has
been found for the allegations against
the work of the bureau, and whatever
is recommended probably will be as to
changes in the law itself.
The committee believes that there
has been too close an adherence to the
letter of the law as opposed to its
spirit and the intent OF congress and
that by an instance on record evidence
of disability many old soldiers have
failed to obtain pensions. There seems
to be no disposition. however, to find
fault with the commissioner.

nation.
MANILA, July u, 7:25 p. ma copy of
the Independeneia has reached Manila
containing the speech which Aguinaldo
made during the recent celebration at Tar
lac of the anniversary of the proclamation
Of Filipino independence. In substance it
is as follows:
"Filipino-Beloved daughter of the ar
dent sun of the tropics. commended by
Providence to the care of noble Spain, be
not ungrateful 10 her salute who warmed
you with the breath of her own culture and
civilization. 1t is true she sought to
crush our aspiration for independence, as
a loving mother opposes separation for
ever from the daughter of her bosom. This
but proves the excess of affection and love
Spain feels for thee Filipino 4! Delicate
flower of the East scarcely eight months
weaned from the breast Of thy mother
thou has dared to brave a great and pow
erful nation, such as is the United States,
after barely organizing and disciplining
thy little army. Yet We reply, we will
be slaves to none. nor allow ourselves to
be deceived by soft words. Some States
of the American union have risen in our
favor. Especially is the Democratic party
convinced that both victors and van
pushed will lose precious lives. Thus
many of the people and many statesmen
censure President Mckinley as inhuman
for having ordered his military represent
atives at Manila to seek means TO bring
about hostilities with the Filipinos. These
facts prove that they wished to try.us TO
see if we were able to live up to the second
color of our banner, red which signifies
courage, heroism and martyrdom. There
fore we should not resent this struggle
with the Americans.
"Filipinos, let US be constant! Let us
strengthen the bonds Of our union!
