TEN YARDS OF SPOOL SILK.
What a Woman Got in Exchange for
Quarter.

Susan Lghtfoot, a heavyweight colored
woman, living at No. sc Pierce street called
at police headquarters this morning and en-
tered a. complaint against a Baltimore con-
Germ. She had wasted % cents she said
because of al advertising circular she had
received and was DESTROYS of having some
body punished. A man called at her house
a few days ago. it is alleged and gave her
several of his circulars. Ten yards of silk
for 70 cents was what was advertised. The
Circular contained the words, prominently
displayed: THE silk Trust stricken dumb, -
and mentioned the sale of so much silk for
SO small an amount as golden oppor-
tunity." to last for three days only.
Mrs. Lightfoot produced about ten yards
of spool silk she had received through the
mails in response to the sending of her
% cents.
This amt what the man said I would
get, said the colored woman. Il was to
get silk to make my child a dress, and
here's what they sent me, and it amt worth
more than a cent"
She said if she had treated anybody in
such way she would get arrested, and
she thought something ought to be done
with the Baltimore people.
Inspector Boardman listened to the wo-
mans complaint and referred her to the in
spectors of the Post Office Department.

UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Scene in Alleged Opium Joint Re-
quires Explanation.

An investigation is being made by tae
police department of a disgraceful scene,
said to have been enacted in an alleged
opium joint on AZ street near Pennsyl-
vania avenue last Friday afternoon. Po-
lceman Oppenheimer was in the place and
his pistol was discharged several times, it
is alleged, by a young man in there who
got possession of it. Then the parties to
the affair left the building and ran to the
street.
A message sent to the sixth police station
brought the patrol wagon and squad of
officers to the scene. Lieutenant Kelly was
among those who answered the call, and it
affair was reported to Major Sylvester.
Policeman Croft, it is said, came near being
a victim of his brother officers pistol.
1t appears that the place was conducted
by Billy McGovern, for whose arrest a
warrant, charging the keeping of a disor-
derby house. has since been issued. Officer
Oppenheimer was in his shirt sleeves,
been called upon for a statement of his
connection with the affair.
The police have learned that there was a
fight In the rooms and that young man
named John Corcoran grabbed the revolver
from the officers pocket and fired three
shots. The bullets went through the CELL
ing and then the weapon was thrown from
the window. 1t landed on the pavement
at the feet of Officer Croft but fortunately
it was not discharged
In addition to the warrant for McGovern,
Corcoran is charged with firing pistol on
the street. Policeman Oppenheimers ex-
cuse for being in the opium joint is that he
went there to get an umbrella He also ex-
planned why he had his coat off.

army in the Woolwich district, presided.
The company included Lieut.. Colwell,
United States naval attache; Senator VOL
colt of Colorado, and many prominent Brit
ish military and naval officers.
Mr.. Bigelow's address contained a warm
eulogy of the American regular troops and
of the raw volunteers. but severe con-
demnation of the political element"
which, he said, governed all appointments
and contracts" He stated that as a result
of the lack Of organization and supplies be-
fore the first transport left Tampa last
June the American army presented many
features incident to a disastrous campaign.
Th9re was a complete breakdown of all the
machinery for providing soldiers with food
and equipment. and the hotel was crowded
with STAFF officers, who were as helpless in
their new uniforms as clergymen in con-
ming tower"
When he exposed this state of affairs. Mr..
Bigelow said ''he was met with a storm of
indignant denials. Since that time" he
continued, 1.-The commander-in-chief has
given public testimony that several If not
all. of the military departments were scam
dalously inefficient, and that emoalmed
beef was served to the men," Mr.. Bigelow
added that the commander-in-chief was
practically drawing upon his Imagination
when he pronounced all things ready for
the Cuban invasion"
A general discussion followed, Gen. Mor-
ris indorsing Mr.. Bigelows remarks az
agreeing with his own information, whsis
other speakers took different views. Gen.
Morris said:
I'VE all feel as thoroughly patriotic al
the American whom Mr.. Bigelow has shown
here today. But IL is our duty 10 bring OUT
the truth so that wrong may be put right.
West Point is the best military establish
ment in the world, but IL is necessary fof
the health of any nation that lessons be RED
learned. The most loyal man is he who,
Ike Mr.. Bigelow. brings these lesson}
home"

FALL OF FRENCH CABINET.
Due to the Coming Retrial of Capt.
DreyfnS.

Due to the Coming Retrial of Capt.
Dreyfus.
Regarding the resignation of the French
cabinet yesterday. the New York Herald
Paris correspondent says that 1t resulted
from dissatisfaction with Dupuy's leniency
to generals who were active in downing
Dreyfus.
The only unexpected detail about the
overthrow appears to have been its light
ming promptness after the events OF the
Grand Prix.
A willy observer put the matter neatly:
1.-The only thing lacking at Longchamps
on Sunday he said, was guilotine. 1t
had been left behind, ready for the cabi-
net the next day"
Nobody doubted that the fall was in
evitable, but even the most saHguine among
the opposition did not hope 1t was so near.
Your correspondent saw last night one of
the molders of public opinion, who mas
more influence, now that he Is out OF the
game, than he had even when he was in 1t.
and that is saying great deal. 'Dupuy,
he said, has laid many traps that ne
walked into one of them himself. The best
thing that can happen to France is
change of government No matter what
new man takes up the reins prompt soiu-
ton of the Dreyfus case is certain, but
with Dupuy at the head Of the cabinet Its
1T had to come to this that either Du-
puy or the president had to go. Dupuy had
played fast and loose with both the par
Lament and the chief of the republic, and
he tried to compromise NJ. Loubet on Sum
day by creating the impression abroad that
the president could not even go to horse
race without an army corps being mobl-
lized. At the same time he was intriguing
with every party in the chamber, being
faithful to none, and he fell because he
was played out.
Nothing but good can come Of his over
throw. The Dreyfus affair must be finished
for good and all, and can only be disposed
of in one way; that is, by the rapid appli-
cation of strict justice. M. Dupuy's sue
cessor knows this, and that is why 1 say
we are now within hailing distance of
the end of the affair."
VINO will be the new PREMIER" was
asked.
There has been some talk of a combina
ton ministry under NJ. Waldeck-Rous
seau," was the reply, but 1 don't think
that this is the arrangement. Waldeck
Rousseau is in Toulouse, and time is pre-
cious in France at this moment. No, I
think the name of M. Dupuy's successor
will be surprise to the public"
Everybody condemns the display of arm
ed force al the Grand Prix. It was really
more like a military review than a horse
race, and all declare lit was unnecessary,
the royalists because they are Disguised
with the Auteuil affair and would have
seen themselves that there was no repeti-
ton of it, and the socialists because they
have thrown in their lot with the govern
ment.
