A STRAIN ON DREYFUS.
Showing Physical Distress
From Effects of Trial.
MERCER IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Tomorrow He l. to he Witness-Must
Give His Alleged Proof That Dreyfus
Is GuiIty-The Accused May Cross
Examine Him.

RENSEs, Aug. lI-Maitre Demange,
the principal counsel of Captain Drey-
fus, in an interview with representa-
tive after the session Of the courtmartial,
expressed himself as very well con-
tented with the way i'll which matters
are proceeding, and, Judging from his
manner, one may say that the defend
ers OF the accused have not yet met any
thing very surprising or alarming in
the secret dossier.
/ Naturally NJ. Demange declined to
| give any particulars respecting the con-
tents Of the dossier, but he declared
that he and his colleague, NJ. Labor,
were satisfied of the conscientious de-
sire of the members of the court to
| thresh the whole matter out and to have
full light turned upon the accusations
against their client.
This will take some time, and the end
of the month will be reached before
Judgment can be given. Meanwhile
the strain was telling on Dreyfus. who
was showing physical distress.
The members of the Dreyfus court
martial took the testimony of NM.
Chamoin and Paleologue. The court
today probably will conclude the ex-'
animation of the secret dossier.
Colonel Jouaust, president of the
courtInartial. Oh leaving the court said
public session would take place to-
morrow.
Captain Dreyfus was allowed to walk
to and from the Lycee without his usual
escort of four or six gendarmes. Only
captain of gendarmes was with him
aud this officer walked Il few steps be-
hind the prisoner.
Tomorrow public session will be a
veritabie field day, probably the most
important and exciting day of the whole
trial, as General Mercier and NJ. CAST
mir -Perier have been cited to give their
testimony then.
A dramatic scene is anticipated by
the i-Dreyfusites, who rely upon him
TO throw il bombshell and confound the
accused once for all His words 81 have
complete proofs of the guilt of Drey-
fus,' are remembered and both sides
are waiting for him to prove his state
ment.
The DreyIusites believe that his tesJi-
mony will be torn to pieces by MN.
Labori ana Demange, and that he will
leave the court utterly discredited.
Captain Dreyfus will have the right
to question him and it is expected that
the iatJer's osseXamination Of Mer-
cier will prove the climax OF the whole
proceedings.
Former President Casimir-Perler will
follow, if possible, the same day, but it
is doubtful whether his examination
will be concluded before the court ad-
iourns until Monday.

odist Episcopal church, made va
cant by the death of Bishop New

DR.. Bennett, at present pastor of the
First church; came here from Fit.
Wayne, and previous to that had oc-
cupied pulpits of the First Metho-
dist churches at Columbus and Ak
ron, Ohio, Bloomington, ILL.,, and
Dubuque, Iowa. He is known over
all of the central section as a lee
turer as well as minister, and also
as jurist before he entered the mis-

While pastor of the First Church
at Columbus, o., he was offered the
pastorate of the First Church, in
Washington, d. c., of which Presi-
dent Nc cKinley is regular attendant.
One of the principal reasons for his
not going there was the refusal of
the congregation to abandon the
plan of selling pews.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE second day
of the twenty-ninth convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Society of
America opened with IN emorial mass
at the Cathedral of the Holy Name in
honor of the members of the order
who have died during the year. Rou-
tine business of the convention was
to order. Philadelphia was chosen as
the next place of meeting
The feature of the session was an ad-
dress by Archbishop Ireland, i'll which

sonies of Indianapolis, who has been
prominent i'll Catholic temperance work

Gnelr leads as the casket passed, and
then falling in and marching into the
house. The casket was deposited in
the drawingroom, and Grand Prelate
, Rev. T. n. Boyle of the Pittsburg
knights delivered a short but impress
i've prayer.
He spoke of the life work of the
dead, and asked the Almighty to give
solace to the bereaved widow of one
who died for his country. The prayer
concluded with the Lords prayer in-
toned by all present. 1t was an i'm
pressive ceremony.
Mrs. Hawkins and her daughter Jen-
ME were i'll the house, but not present
at the ceremony.
When the short service was over the
house was at once cleared on the sug-
gestion of Colonel Streator. Mrs.
Hawkins, he said, would want to be
alone with her loved one.
Mrs. Hawkins broke down with grief,
but did not inger long at the casket.
The features of the brave colonel were
easily distinguished, but it was not the
robust looking form as he appeared
when he went out with his troops
nearly l6 months ago. Chaplain Hun
ter was with the widow and daughter
during the terrible and pathetic ordeal,
and comforted them in their sorrow.
He took supper with the family and told
them of the death Of their loved one.
About 8 O'Clock last evening private
services were held in the house. The
attendants included, besides the mother
and daughter, Mrs. John Aiken and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Treat,
Colonel j. B. r. Streator, Captain
Rogers, Lieutenant Best and some
others. The brothers of tine deceased
were also present.
Chaplain Hunter conducted the serv-
ices, assisted by Rev. Henry w. Tenn
pie, pastor of the First United Presby-
tcrln church and chaplain of the Sew
enteenth regiment. A prayer was
offered up by the Tenth chaplain, in
which he asked the Divine favor on the
stricken f;tnily and friends, to give
them strength and comfort III their be-
reavement. 1t was fervent and beau
tiful petition. He then read Scripture
lesson, and the ceremonies were con-
cluded with the benedictlon by Rev.
Temple.

COL. DICK
Wants to be a United
States Senator.
Planning to Succeed Foraker In 1901
The Program.

Colonel Dick will be candidate
for United States Senator to succeed
Foraker, says the Columbus Dis
patch. Any one with any know
ledge of existing conditions in Ohio,
and who is student of Ohio politics
as being written to-day, knows that
Colonel Dick is Systematically and
actively building up an organization
in Ohio to control the Legislature
which elects United States Senator,
and to contest with Foraker for that
honor.
"When Colonel Dick was chosen
chairman of the Republican State
Executive committee this year, in
spite of the protests of both the
Dougherty and Foraker-Bushnell
factions, it was for the purpose of
affording him an opportunity to
build up strong machine with
which to defeat Foraker for re-elec-
tion to the United States Senate.
Every act of Dick thus far empha-
sizes this fact. If Judge Nash is
elected governor all the patronage of
that Office will be at the disposal of
President Mckinley, Senator Hanna
and Colonel Dick to insure the defeat
of Foraker and the election of Dick,
the same as Mckinley turned it over
to Sherman in his contest with For
aker.n

VICTIMS OF :: .-U i. :. IL.
frowd Arrived at NranGcl, One From
Ohio, In Bad >hape, bringing
Terrible Tales.

WRANGEI, Alaska, Aug. 6, via Seat
steamer Strathcona arrived here with
80 survivors of the Edmonton trail.
They were all western men except nine,
two being c. jefferson of Asbury Park,
N. j.. and III. Veley, Ohio.
ALI the men came in with the pack
train sent out from Telegraph creek
and Laketon by the various trading
companies last spring.
The unfortunates told heartrending
stories of hardships endured and COM
rades lost and abandoned, and strongly
denounced the trading and transporta-
ton companies as well as the Canadian
officials and newspapers that so pro-
fusely advertised this route as feas-
ible one to the Klondike gold fields, To
outward appearances, these men Ger
talnly gave evidence of the awful suf-
ferlng undergone since leaving Edmon-
ton about Is months ago. Most of
them were sickly- looking, with un-
kempt boards and greasy clothes-pic-
lures of physical and financial wrecks.
Several had grown gray and bore
marks of scurvy.
A few had just enough money to
reach Seattle or Victoria, but the most
were without funds. The citizens of
Wrangel have applied to the United
States government at Washington, but
up to this date no aid has been received.
There are about 25 destitute miners
here.
1t is estimated that there are 80 or 40
scurfers at Telegraph creek awaiting the
next trip of the boat The sick that
had to be carried on stretchers, had not
yet reached Glenora when the steamer
sailed.
Several starvation cases and persons
frozen to death are reported.
Ali along the route from Fort Simp-
son, on the Mckenzie river, to Fort
Laird, men with frozen limbs were as
sisted, while some too weak to help
themselves were necessarily left behind
by those more fortunate and able to
struggle along. Scurvy ragged in all the
camps more or less, but there are few
deaths from this disease reported. A
number of Canadians, who attempted
to cross Cutland trail from Simpson to
the Francis last fall, have never been
heard from, and it is likely that they
perished from cold. Provisions were
scarce and high at all the military posts
last winter.
Flour sold at S35 per sack, bacon at
40 cents per pound and beans 25 cents
per quart. This made up the daily
menu for several weeks.

Believe the Former Brought Up Alger's
Recent Order.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Major Gen.
eral Miles had conference of more
than half an hour with the secretary of
war. Secretary Root said the confer
ence was devoted to military matters.
When it was suggested that there were
rumors that he was consulting General
Miles with reference to a change of
commanders in the Philippines he said
he had nothing to say on that subject.
1t is known, however, that General
Miles brought up the recent order of
Secretary Alger upon the inspector gen.
erals department. That part which
places the bureau under the direction
of the secretary of war and onlits the
commanding general of the army is not
satisfactory, 1t is said, to General Miles.
