MERCER Is Roasted.

Paris, Aug. 26.-In the Figaro NJ
Cornely says: 1T is hard to be fore
ed to rank NJ. Freycinct or General
MERCER in one of three categories, in
ventive calumniators, folk who believe
their neighbOr venal because they are
venal themselves and simpletons. There
is ground for hope, therefore, that one
or the other of these gentlemen will
end by stating on what precise facts
he bases his conviction of the exist
ence of a syndicate armed with 350h0,-
900 francs. l have the honor of knowing
NJ. Freycinct and have been charmed
with his precise and luminous mind.
must lie in wait for him when he
comes to Paris and beg him to prove
the existence and indicate the head
quarters of the syndicate of treason"
NJ. Clemenceau. in the Aurore, says:
General MERCER IS taken in the act
Of introducing into the dOsSier false
document in order to obtain the con-
demnation of Dreyfus. The coup that
he made in 1894 with Henry and Du
Patty de Clam he is repeating in 1893,
with General ChanOine as an accom-
plice. The two Cuiprits may arrange
their stories as they like. the fact is
undeniable that they were caught red
handed. If General ChanOine is the
delegate of General MERCER as the
facts show, how can the minister of
war dare to approve him for having
attempted to introduce forgery into the
dossier instead of sending him with
NJ MERCER to the Cherche Midi prison
to mediate on the dangers of a for
gers trade?"

SINGULAR LOOKING STEAMER.
Craft in Which Long Ocean Voyage
Was Recently Accomplished.

From the New York Journal.
Through He'll Gate from the sound yes
terday morning steamed one of the
queerest looking crafts that has ever
been seen in these waters. She was lead
colored from stem to stern post and tow
cred out of the water high above even the
large ocean freighters. She was the Mae,
built at Toledo. Ohio, and she had just ar
rived from that port after one of the
most eventful voyages ever undertaken
by a craft from any port.
1t was a trip of 1000 miles and the Mae
made it in Is days, including stops, an
average of something like Ill miles each
"a hours.
Captain Hutchinson told of the trip as
the Mae was being placed in the dry dock
at the foot of East Fourth street.
THE vessel was built originally for the
Atlantic Transportation company for the
coast trade" said the captain THAT
company failed, but the Mae was bought
by the New York firm of Miller, Bull e.
Knowlton for the Porto Rican trade, and
l was engaged to bring her through to
New York. | knew it wasn't an easy
job, but she's steel from her keel up
steel hull, Lighthouses, all steel. The
only wood in her is inside the saloon and
staterooms. No rooms for passengers
just the officers and crew, 2s all told.
The vessel registers 1900 gross and / 400
net tons; she is 264 feet long, has As feet
beam and Is 25 feet deep. She will carry
3.lOO tons of freight and only draws lg
feet of water. You'll see why when you
look at her in dry dock.
I'VE left Toledo on July11 and steamed
the length of Lake Erie, went through
the Welland canal to Lake Ontario and
then steamed to Kingston, Ont, the Mae
doing matter of IL knots without much
trouble. We proceeded by canal and lake
to Ogdensburg, N. Y, and from there
past Thousand Isles to Coteau Landing.
1t was after leaving there that the real
dangers of the trip began. We had the
rapids to shoot and l can tell you it is
no joke to shoot the rapids in big steel
box like that of the Mae
I'VE passed through some more canal
locks after leaving Coteau Landing-I
don't know the names of them-and then
we shot the Coteau rapids. They were
fierce. The Mae rolled like a big log.

beam at times and then Topping over to

through the Gut of Canso, and so on
down the coast and through the sound
On the dry dock the Mae showed almost
straight sides and her bottom is perfectly
fiat. There was not hint of a center
keel, but in its place were two huge
bilge keels, which. however, had been torn
and twisted by the descent of the rap
ids.

Wanted Citizenship.

County Judge Hurd of Kings county,
New York, who is just now devoting
part of his time to the work of convert
ing aliens into citizens of the United
States, had a trying time of it recently
in the Brooklyn court house with a.
number of applicants for citizenship.
Biejio Scavali, a Coney Island Italian,
presented a fair sample of the degrees
of intelligence Judge Hurd had to con-
tend with. What is the name of this
country?" asked the court. -"Ma-keen-
lee," replied Biejio promptly. "Who
makes the laws?" -keen-lee!" re-
turned Bejio confidently What state
do you live in?" 'Ma-keen-lee.'' You
seem to be impressed with the belief
that Mckinley is the whole thing over
here" remarked the court. 'Biejio, 1
guess you won't do"

HISTORY OF THE RIOTS
Arrests at Wardner Made by
State Authorities.
TROOPS ACTED AS GUARDS
Prisoners Had Plenty to Eat-State Au-
thorities Responsible for Martial
Law and the Order Relat-
ing to Permits.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The report of
Brigadier General H. C. Merriam, COM
mander of the department of the Col
orado, U. S. A., in the miners riots in
the state of Idaho, was received here
to-day.
General Merriam gives a detailed his
tory of the events so far as he or the
troops under his command took part.
He shows that the arrest of alleged
participants in the riots were made by
the state authorities, the federal troops
only acting as guards At first, he
says, the prisoners were quartered in
large building originally erected for
the storage of hay. Some suffering
from lack Of fires and bedding occur
red, but regarding the food furnished
the general says:
BY daily inspections 1 satisfied my
self that the prisoners were being fur
nished abundant food and well pre-
pared, although 1t sometimes unavoid-
ably happened that meals were served
late and somewhat irregularly, owing
to the large number, irregular hours of
arrival and limited facilities for serv-
ing"
When the building was full about
200 prisoners were kept in box cars.
While they were not comfortable, Gen
eral Merriam says they were not COM
PEELED to sleep on the ground, as were
the soldiers guarding them.
Finally, the general became dissat-
istied with the progress made in the
erection of the prison which the state
authorities had started and made a
protest 10 Governor Steunenberg, after
which better progress was made.
The report shows that the governor,
not General Merriam, declared martial
law and that the proclamation forbid
ding the employment of union miners
in the mines at Wardner emanated en-
tirely from the state authorities, Cop
les of kilograms and letters from the
seat of war are given, which show
that instructions were to use his
troops simply for the preservation of
the peace and his report shows that
he complied strictly with his orders.
According to General Merriam about
700 arrests were made, but only 52S
We're detained after the first investiga-
ton. OF these three died, two of dis
ease and one suicide.

The Wind Made SpowbalIs,

Last March there was a remarkable
exhibition at Grafton, n. H., of the
comparatively rare phenomenon of
SNOW rollers" Freshly fallen snow was
rolled by the wind into innumerable
cylinders, some of them as large as a
barrel, which dotted the hills and fields.
Similar rollers have been seen in recent
years in Connecticut, in Kansas and in
the state of Washington. The size
varies with the strength of the wind.

was no secret that Miss Burke's friend

She possessed for him. her friends be-

Then came the story to the ears OF
Miss Burke that VILE was already
married and hat he had n daughter.
Thereupon she sought out his wife
and learned from her lips that the
rumor was true. Her last hope van

could endure. Discouraged and dis
heartened beyond all reparation, she
plotted her own destruction and to take

DEWEY WILL NOT ACCEPT /
Would Have the Money Collected
for Him Go to a Sailors Home.
NAVAL CIRCLES MUCH PLEASED
Tho Admiral Reported TO Have Ex-
pressed Himself In q Private Teis-
gram - The Fund Committee Has
Never Communicated with Him.

WASHINGTON, June tt-While UNI
willing to accept n home for himself,
Admiral Dewey is DESTROYS that the
money collected for his benefit be used
In the establishment OF n sailors and
soldiers home. A private cablegram
sent by the admiral to a friend gives
the authority for this statement.
The admiral has not communicated
with the home committee, doubtless
because 1t has never informed him Of
what 1t Is doing.
Members of the committee and
friends OF the admiral have been ex-
pecting that he would decline to re-
ceive the home and would suggest the
money be employed for veterans.
United States Treasurer Roberts,
who is also treasurer of the Dewey
fund said that the committee would
continue its collection and that when
the sum originally determined upon
had been raised n decision would be
reached relative to its disposition.
In naval circles generally and
among officials much satisfaction is
felt at the admiral's decision. 1t has
been stated that he would find a white
elephant in the home intended by the
committee and would prefer to live as
he has been accustomed to.
