When Governor Pingl,se came up for reelection Alger was expected to pro- cead to he-p down him, but he had become so impressed with the power Of Pingree, it IS said, that he decided
 to reconsider his determ;nation. He
 remained on friendly terms with the anti-PingIi-e men, DIE would not come out strongly against the gov
 ernor. Thisl war came on and the force of events made it apparent that no successful fgh5 against the gov

 matter of course.
 The failure Gf the plan to defeat Pingree impressed Algeu win his power, and since that tine he hes ben regarded as closely tied to him.

PRAYERS TO AVOID WAR.
Cape Colony Report Intimates Fur
Their Kruger

CAPE TOWN. Aug. 21.-Sunday was OBJ
served throughout the Orange Free State
and Cape Colony with humiliation, prayer
of the crisis. Mr.. Snytier, a leading Dutch
Reform preacher here. referred to the close
ties uniting the Cape Dutch to those of the
Transvaal, which, he added, were members
of the great Afrikander family. If war
were declared, he said, Great Britain would
commit a ''heinous crime before God and
man. resulting in civil war I'm Cape Colony"
There is evidence of growing uneasiness at
johannesburg. Great crowds gather at try
stations, expressing disapproval at the de-
partures for Cape Colony and Duban, Natal.
The report that the Transvaal govern
ment had handed its reply to the British
agent at Pretoria. to be forwarded to Sir
Alfred Miner, British high commissioner
for South Africa and Governor of Cape Col
ony. was fully confirmed to-day. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the proposition of
Great Britain for a joint commission to in
vestigate the effect which the franchise re-
form legislation would nave on the out
landers has not been accepted, but that
fresh proposals have been advanced.
According to Afrikander reports the Trans
walls reply is a counter proposal of a five
years retrospective franchise in the elec-
ton of the President and increased repre-
~sentation. 1t Is said that the suggestion Is
made to submit all other differences to ar
bitration.

DANCE FOR DEWEY'S MEN.
COnsul's Wife al Leghorn introduces
Many Pretty Girls.

LEGHORN, Aug. 21.-The United States
cruiser Olympia sailed from this port to-
day. James A. Smith, the United States
consul here. came aboard TO pay his re-
spects to Admiral Dewey. just previous to
the departure of the warship, which IS
bound for Nice, France. There Dewey will
remain a week, according TO his promise,
to let his officers see the charms Of the far
famed Riviera. The admiral has had here
the ~quietest week spert at any port yet,
and has entirely recovered from the indis-
position which was the penalty paid for his
good nature in accepting such hospitality
at Naples. Until to-day he has been ashore
but once since his arrival here, but he has
received numerous visitors. Most Of his
officers have visited Florence and Pisa
Under the chaperonage of, Mrs. Smith. the
United States consurs wife,'a host of young
ladies were entertained by the officers yes
terday afternoon with a luncheon in the
ward room, followed by a dance on deck.
Last evening the party had boxes In a sum-
mer theater. which the management deco
rated for the occasion with flowers and
flags, a huge American coat Of arms being
placed over the stage. Afterward there was
a reception by Consul and Mrs. Smith.
Father Raney celebrated mass for those
seamen who are Catholics, in the cathedral
this morning. A large number Of the in
habitants of the place attended.
The admiral went ashore to-day to take
luncheon with Mr.. Ray. whom he met when
he was here before.

several days and that 1t was communicated
to the War Office. hence it is probable that
Great Britain will delay the announcement
as little as possible. A high colonial off,
cial expressed TO a representative of the
Associated Press his disgust at what he
termed 'Kruger's cupidity and hypocrisy"
He said: The kind of game which Kruger
is playing must be clear to Americans. The
protestations OF the Beers hat they wish
to live a quiet. agricultural life may be the
tune of some on the veldt, but the gang
In Pretoria Is simply after money. Though
President Kruger says many harsh things
of the %uitlanders, he never hesitated to
make money out of them. either by fair or
foul means. This Transvaal question can
not be judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back fifty years. 1t has been hang
ing fire all that time and the sooner 1t is
settled now the better"
Though the official did not actually say
so, 1t was clear that he believed war was
the only method of settlement. 1t Is learned
that the government is somewhat annoyed
at the public's slight interest In the Trans
wall. The official above quoted said: "Drey-
fus seems the only thing that our people
think about. though England is in a most
typical"

M. LABORI PRESENT.

RENNES. Aug. 22.-The second day of
the third week of the second trial by court
martial of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus on the
charge of treason began at $50 o'clock this
morning. Maitre Labor was present. He
drove to the court in a carriage and entered
the hall at $50 o'clock.
The audience greeted him by standing I'D
and by a general clapping of hands. Maitre
Labor walke quite briskly, but holding his
left arm close to his side, in order not to
disturb his wound.
He met General MERCER and General
Billot in the middle Of the courtroom,
stopped, chatted and smiled. Labori looked
very well. He was given a cushioned arm
chair.
Nine. Labor. looking well. was also in
court. Labori was warmly congratulated
by friends. Captain Dreyfus. on entering.
smilingly shook hands with Labori.
Colonel Jouaust addressed a few words Of
congratulation to Labori and expressed the
profound indignation of the tribunal at the
attempt to assassinate the counsel. Labori
was much moved and thanked Colonel
Jouaust in an eloquent speech.

MOHE FRENCH TREACHERY.
Two Officers Murdered'in West Africa
by Voulet and ChanOfne.

PARIS, Aug. 21.-M. De Crais, minister of
the colonies, has received a dispatch from
the governor general of French West Africa
fully confirming the Figaro's story, cabled
this morning, Of the killing Of Lieutenant
Colonel Klobb and Lieutenant Meuiner by
members of a French expedition, under the
conduct of Captains Voulet and Chanoine,
in the French Sudan. The confirmation has
created a great sensation and caused the
most painful impression, the only explana-
ton suggested being that Captain Voulet
had become mentally affected by the cli-
mate. Curiously enough, the killing oc-
CURED July IA, the date of the French ma
tional fete.
1t appears that on new being received
from the barbarity of the Voulet-C hanoine
mission towards the natives on the march
towards Lake Chad the the Depuy Ministry
instructed Lieutenant Colonel Klobb. who
was at Hayes, to proceed with a column,
overtake the mission, investigate the
charges and assume On July IA
the Klobb party overlook the mission at
Timber, near Domanger. Lieutenant Colonel
Klobb sent word to Captain voulet, who re-
piled that he would shoot him If he ad-
vanced. Notwithstanding this threat Klobb
advanced and made himself known to Vou-
let, who ordered him peremptorily to stop.
This order was disregarded, and when the
KlObb party was within $50 meters of YOU
let's troops, the latter, on his order, fired
three volleys. which were followed by indie
pendent firing. Lieutenant Meuiner fell
dead. Lieutenant Colonel Klobb, wounded
in the leg by the first volley, was dispatched
by being shot in the head.
Voulet then ordered a bayonet charge and
the remainder of the Klobb column fed
carrying their wounded and leaving, beside
the two officers, nine men dead. The sur
vivors. ten of whom were wounded, reached
Bosso under of a native sergeant.
The Voulet-Chanoine mission has taken to
the bush. but. according to the advices re-
ceived by NJ. De Crais. a strong column was
to be sent in pursuit.
Captains Voulet and Chanoine had both
had distinguished careers in the Sudan. The
mission, now outlawed, consists, besides the
leaders. of Captain Jouall and Lieutenant
Pallier, DIR. Hanric and two French SER
geants.

NJ. Demange's cross-examination shows
that the witnesses are quite unprepared
and scowls and shakings of the head. indi-
