Blocking Of Traffic on South Water and
Dyer Sis. Has Become a Nuisance.
MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE.

The much nfboted question OF finding
a place for the sort OF public market,
where peddlers and farmers can con-
gregate in the trly morning hours, is
still occupying the minds OF a number
OF the members of the city government
and IL begins to look as If something
would be done in the near future TO
take the ever-growing nuisance srom
Dyer and South Water streets. There

number OF complaints have been
made to Chief of Police Baker, who is
ex-officfo clerk OF rhe market, and IL
seems as II the market, so-called, would
have TO go. Commissioner OF Public
Works s.-.Jh has long been opposed 10
the use OF Market square, Crawford
street bridge Dyer and South Water
streets for such purposes, but Inasmuch
as these localities have been assigned
to the farmers and peddlers by ,he
chief OF police. nothing was done 10

busy thoroughfares.

Well Adap.ei for a Market.

Railroad street is also admirably
adapted for market purposes as streets
from every direction lead 10 Il, and thus
much of the confusion of coming and
going would be avoided. Some streets
lead directly over Capitol Hill to the
suburban districts of Fruit Hill Vans
kuck, North Providence. etc. while
other tboroughfares go directly toward
Olneyville. and. in fact. there is every
facility both for the farmer and the
peddler. In this locality the owners OF
teams would be better off themselves,
as they would not be compelled TO keep
on the move in order to allow street
cars To pass through.
If Railroad street is not sufficiently
large for the purpose. there Is within
few steps Stellman street, which could
also be used for market purposes. 1t
certainly looks as II the market prob
lem had been solved for few years to
come. at least.

New York, Aug. 24.-Arrangements
are maturing for the organization of a
s50,oO0,000 dry goods corporation in this
city TO control and operate dry goods
and department stores throughout the

mary to- creating the big corporation.
Men well known in the dry goods
trade have been working on the plan
for six months. and. IL is said, have in

enterprise. 1t is expected that the COR

the colonel n confession that the secret

judges OF the courtmartial Of 1894 by
Col. Du Patty de Clam. This avowal
produced sensation in court and Mau-
riers declaration that he read only ono
OF the documents did not affect the
main fact; while his protestation that
the reading of the document had no ef-
feet upon him as his mind was already
made up was nullifed by his subse-
quent declaration that this one docu-
ment sufficed to convince him.

Secret DoSSier Communicated to Court

MerCier Refuses Answers.

Rennes. Aug. 24.-when the fourth
session OF the third week of the sec
ond trial by court-martial of Capt. AL
fred Dreyfus, charged with treason,
opened at the Lycee here'at $40 a. m.
today, Col. Jouaust. president OF the
court ordered that the evidence given
by NJ. Penot a friend of the late Col.
Sandherr, chief OF the intelligence de-
partment be read by the clerk Of the
court. 1t was TO the effect that Col.
Sandherr said Dreyfus's family offered
him 150 900 francs on condition he
would clear Dreyfus.
Maftre Demange for the defense dis
posed OF this allegation by reading the
actual note on the subject written by
Sandherr thereby proving that the coll
oners remarks hah- been distorted,
Dreyfus brothers only having said:
1--WE are convinced of the innocence OF
our brother and will spend our entire
fortune to discover the truth"

A New Location.

For some time the subject has been
discussed by city counoilmen and city
officials, but the difficulty encountered
was the finding OF proper location for
these wagons, that is one that was In
the center OF the city and at the same
time so sitursed that there would be
little or no inconvenience TO public
travel. Ii now looks as IL the very place
has been found. and in all probability
some preliminary steps Will be taken
at the next meeting of the city council
wit ha view TO bringing about the de-
sired change.
The location practically decided upon
and which seems to meet with general
favor by all who have been approached
upon the subject, is Railroad street. the
thoroughfare directly in the rear Of and
almost parallel with the new passenger
station. which runs from Gaspee TO

This testimony as given before the
Court OF Cassation, set forth that Col.
Sandherr told NJ. Penot that the broth
ers OF Dreyfus had offered one hundred
and fifty thousand francs to settle the
case. adding that Sandherr was so in
censed at the proposal that he ordered
them out of his office.
Maitre Demange as a counterblast
read a note written by Sandherr the
same day the interview with the broth
ers of I)eyfus took place. II appeared
from this note that the brothers imag-
ined plot was being hatched against
Captain Dreyfus because he was a
Jew. They maintained the captains In
nocence and declared they would do ev-
erything in their power to obtain his
reinstatement. saying that IL neces-
sary they would spend their whole for
tune to arrive at the truth and would
do everything to that end.
Counsel pointed out that there were
serious discrepancies between M. Pc
nots written statement that money was
offered and Col. Sandherr's letter.

IMPRISONED AMERICANS.
Their Case Will Be Brought Befor,
U. S. Supreme Court.

U. S. Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE
case of the imprisoned Galicians Of the
Hawaiian Islands, kept in Jail for vio-
lating their labor contracts, is to be
brought before the Supreme Court of
the United States.
The question of whether the contract
labor laws of Hawaii can be penalty en-
forced, now that the islands have been
annexed, is to be brought before the
highest American tribunal. The whole
question of whether the Constitution
of the United States is now in force
there is to be put before the Supreme
Court in Washington.
Such is the mission of Attorney Geo.
D. Gear, who arrived here to-day on
the China. He states that his inten-
ton is to secure a determination of
the matters at issue. His idea is that
a petition for habeas corpus in behalf
of the Galicians, who are in prison at
Oahu, will bring up the whole subject,
and secure a speedy determination Of
the question.
From another source it is learned
that eminent counsel in the United
States have been secured on behalf of
the Galicians, and there are some who
think the case will become another
bred Scott case. so far as being a
landmark in jurispi I'D ance is concerned.

treaties with the foreign nations which
marked the admission of Japan into

the only representative of a foreign
power who recognized the event and

public notification to the citizens of his
Government.
