AN Austrian gunmaker, who has de.
voted great attention to revolvers and
repeating rifles, has patented a new
form of revolver. In the present type
of weapon the gas generated in the
discharge is made use of for reloading
and resetting the revolver, but in the
new one these functions are performed
by mechanism. Climatic conditions af-
feet the gases and render the weapon
less effective; this state of things is
avoided by the new patent.

The Chicago platform was Endorsed in
its entirety, and the democratic state
committee was empowered to fill any
vacancies caused by death or other
wise.
Sells Withdraw.
Cato Sells could have been named for
governor, but was not acceptable to the
populists, and withdrew, throwing his
strength to White. Fred E. White was
the candidate on the fusion ticket two
years ago, being defeated by Gov. Shaw.
who is the republican candidate again.
The convention was very turbulent
throughout, and the business was
transacted with difficulty, but the re-
suits are satisfactory to the radical sill
yer element, which was in control. 1t
is not probable, however, that the sound
money element will make an attempt
to maintain a separate organization

Dreyfua Weeps.

Dreyfus WeeDs.
The feature of the days proceedings
was the story of the sufferings OF
Dreyfus on DEVILS island, his prison
off the coast of French Guiana. Drey-
fus wept in court when the clerk read
document recounting the details Of
his incarceration.
NJ. Lebon, the former minister of the
colonies, a big, red-bearded man, then
testified in justification of his instruc-
tons to treat Dreyfus vigorously, de-
claring that the extreme stringency
only dated from the time he thought
an attempt would be made to rescue the
prisoner.
Col. Jouaust, president of the court
martial, asked Dreyfus if hsbhad any
questions to put to the witness, and he
replied, in an emotional voice:
'''No. I am here to defend my honor
I do not wish to speak of the atrocious
suffering which for five years no
Frenchman and an innocent man, ssf.
fered on the lie du Diable." ~,
A narrowing Tale.
NJ. Demange here asked. that the of.
fetal report of the treatment of Drey.
fus on the lie du Diable, which was
published in the newspapers last week
should be read. The clerk. of the cour,
did so and, in sympathetic tone, re.
counted the narrowing tails of Dreyfus
mental and physical sufferings and in
human treatment on the island.
Expressions of Indignation.
Deep-drawh breaths of indignation
came from the hearers as the reading
proceeded. Dreyfus at first watched
the faces of the judges with his usual
composure; but gradually, as the story
proceeded and incidents of his awful
existence were brought up before him,
! his eyes grew dim and tears glistened
in his eyes and slowly trickled down
his cheeks.
Dreyfus could stand it no longer and
for the first time during his trial gave
way to his emotions and silently wept
The faces of the audience expressed
sympathy with the prisoners emotion
and even the captain of gendarmes
sitting beside Dreyfus turned and gave
him look of unconcealed compassion.
Gen. Roget, in undress uniform, fol.
lowed. His evidence was vitriolic
diatribe against Dreyfus from begin
ming to end.
The court adjourned until Thursday
on the conclusion of Gen. Roget's mon
ologue.
