NOT GODS COUNTRY.
Major Webster Says Philippines Are Not Fit
For a White Man.

Almost broken down, Major George
Webster of the Fourth United States in
fantry arrived from the Philippines Fri
day and went back to his old quarters
at Fort Sheridan. Speaking of the
situation, he said:
General Lawton says 100000 more
troops are necessary. l have my opin-
ion of the situation, but 1t would not do at
this time to make statements which
would be criticized all over the coun-
try.
THE Filipinos are a brave people.
They have plenty of men, but few guns.
In their sets of fours there are often but
one or two men armed with Mausers.
The others make what they evidently
consider deceptive showing with wood
en- guns such as boys play with. How
ever when a Filipino is killed his gun Is
Immediately taken by another, and the
imitation piece is east aside, have seen
hundreds of these wooden guns in the
field.
THE Philippines are no place for a
white man. The sun Is scorching. l
have seen an average Of 60 men a day
drop out of the ranks suffering from the
heat. The Filipinos are a gentle race
of people. They look like mere boys, so
frail and delicate. Much of the country
around Manila is devastated by fire."

ANNA GOULD'S SOCIAL SUCCESS.
Her Dinner 10 Prince Of Wales the SWEETEST
Function OF Week at Cowes.

Count and Countess Boni de Castellane
and their party on board steam yacht
Valhala have certainly been the social
success of Cowes week. Their triumph
eliminated in the dinner they gave on
the vessel Thursday to the Prince Oh
Wales.
Everything Connected with the yacht
and the Franch people aboard were the
smartest possible. Countess de Castel-
lane and the French women accompany.
ing her completely eclipsed the English
women. They were perfectly dressed
on every occasion. while the majority
of the English beauties appeared in
most inappropriate, flashy costumes.
The arrival of the Valhallas gig at
the Royal Yacht squadron's landing
stage was always the event of the af-
ternoons to the onlookers. 1t is six
cared gig, and the sailors wear the ordi
nary French sailors costume-little
round white caps, with red tassels, white
jumpers over blue and white striped
jerseys and white duck trousers.
The Counts appearance excites almost
as great interest as the women's. He
wears, generally, white linen yacht
ing suit, and his hair Is always so beau
tifully arranged that it is said his hair
dresser 'undulates" it daily. He wears
the daintiest white shoes, and carries
a walking stick with a massive gold
handle.

THE TRIAL OF DREYFus.
his Questions Answered Promptly, Emphati-
cally and Distinctly

Rennes, Aug. S.--With his frame
quivering with emotion and his voice
choking with sobs, Captain Dreyfus yes
cence to the world.
Some of the incidents of the day were
yeally dramatic. There were moments
when the spectators held their breath In
something like awe. There were mo-
ments when the quivering impassloned
tones of the prisoner almost brought
tears to the eyes of some of the specta-
tors.
There was a certain amount of pomp
and splendor connected with the pro-
ceedings. But from the moment of his
appearance the generals in their gold
lace and even the judges In their gor-
geous uniforms were forgotten, and every
eye was riveted on the prisoner. Those
who had not seen him for five years were
surprised at the change in his appear
ance. His hair has turned gray and a
bald spot has begun to appear on the
top of his head. He wore trimmed eye
glasses and a slight mustache. His
frame seems to have shrunken consid-
erably.
But his earnest, impressive manner and
bearing made up for his physical de-
fciencies. At times his voice rang out,
and his right hand was raised as If call
ing upon heaven to attest his innocence.
At other times his voice sounded almost
harsh from the excess of his emotion.
His voice was as firm as of one who
answered familiar question. AS
Dreyfus spoke, the audience strained
forward breathlessly. Dreyfus APP
peared less careworn than when he ar
rived at Rennes. He did not look
triumphant, but as one about to realize
a long hope.
Dreyfus answered the questions
promptly, emphatically and distinctly
without that impediment in his speech
charged to his long, isolated imprison-
ment. He stood with his hand raised in
the attitude of salute as Colonel Jouast
read from notes. His replies to ques-
tions relating to different documents
which concerned the treason were al
ways of the same tenor: Il had no
knowledge of it" or simply Never"

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug San open
company, twisted, bent and smashed
almost into kindlng wood, lying in the
mud of Peck's Pond, at Oronoque, about
six miles north of here, is the only Wis
ible indication Of the frightful catas-
trophe of Sunday afternoon, when 80
lives were lost and about a dozen peo-
pie seriously injured from the car tum-
bling Off the trestle which crosses the
pond at this point. The disaster was
The most serious known to this section
for nearly half century. The horror
of the situation can yet be scarcely
realized, and hundreds are again visit
ing the scene, and find much to comment
upon in the unfortunate opening of the
new extension from Stratford to Shelton.
Already steps have been taken by the
friends of dead and injured TO bring suit
against the road.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was northbound. running toward
Shelton. It was in charge of Conductor
John Carroll of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Motorman Hamil-
ton of Bridgeport. He escaped by
jumping.
The trestle Is 440 feet long, made of
iron, with stone foundations. and was
not protected by guard rails. South
Of the trestle is quite an incline, on
which the car ran down at a very fast
rate of speed After 1t ran on to the
trestle for about 10 feet the trucks left
the rails, and then the car continued on
the ties for about 70 feet, when 1t went
off the trestle and dropped into the pond
below, overturning completely and strik-
ing end-up. When the car struck, the
motor which weighed four tons, and
the heavy trucks, crushed into 1t, in
stantly killing many of the passengers.
The scene about the wrecked car was
one of horror, and seemed to stun all
the early ones on the scene to render
assistance. Fortunately, all that were
not instantly killed were rendered I'M
conscious, so that few Of the gruesome
scenes connected with most disasters
were evidenced. All Of the persons
killed sustained fractured skulls.
George Hamilton, the motorman of
the Inflated car, was arraigned before
Justice Peck in the Stratford court last
evening.
The charge brought against Hamilton
was that Of manslaughter. He pleaded
not guilty, and without having heard
evidence Of any kind, Justice Peck con-
tinued the case for one week and fixing
the prisoners bail at $4,000. Hamilton
was released soon afterwards.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Financial Flrmness Gives Additional Evidence
OF The Expansion In Trade.

All signs indicate the maintenance OF
general trade and industry in an I'M
precedented midsummer volume. Spe-
cially indicative Of this are the con-
tlnued very heavy bank clearings' re-
turns, largely increased railroad earn
ings, rejecting a traffic in grain and
merchandise generally far in excess of
q year ago; reports Of activity in nu-
merous lines of manufacturing in
dustry, notably in all branches of iron
and steel and kindred lines, wooden
goods, boots and shoes and cotton goods
and advices from leading markets of a
satisfactory opening of the regular fall
demand, with heavy shipments Of goods
on orders. The frmness of money at
many centers is itself an additional
evidence " the expansion in trade now
In progress.
With the exception Of food products,
the price situation is generally one of
maintained, strength, advances being
most numerous in the line of manufac-
tured goods or in raw materials for
manufacturing industry. Cereals are
all lower on the week, rejecting the gen.
orally favorable crop outlook, and also
some Indifference as regards foreign
buying of wheat, though export demand
for corn has been apparently stimulated
by recent price reactions.
All classes of iron and steel are either
firmly held or tending upward notable
In this respect being all grades of pig
iron, steel rails, structural material and
bar iron and steel. Other metals are
rather quieter, and tin shows some re-
action from the high prices reached
last week.
Wool is still moving upward in SYM
pathy with improved demand for the
manufactured article, but buying is
more closee confined to manufactures.
speculative dealing being apparently
less noticeable.
Activity in building is reflected in
very firm prices for lumber at the east,
while at the west further advances. par
ticularly in white pine, are noted.
Cotton Is steady, pending further de-
velopments in the crop situation.
The boot and shoe trade continues in
good shape, and hides are slightly high
er on the week, with the finished prod
uct firm.
Fall trade is opening we'll at the east.
Boston reports wool firm, and slight
existing differences between buyers and
sellers.
Contrary to the usual customs, wheat
supplies in this country and Canada in
creased during July to trifiing extent,
1t is true, but still nearly sufficient to
offset the slight falling off shown in
European supplies.
