The Liberty Bell.

The city of Philadelphia is becoming
weary OF repeated requests to send the
old liberty bell junllcting across the
country from one point to another, to
help in the observance of this, that or
the other day. and there are signs that
the end is in sight OF this kind of per-
Torrance. The latest request comes
from Boston. which thinks it cannot
properly observe the 125th anniversary
of the battle of Bunker Hin without
having the old liberty bell on hand.
The liberty bell is by all odds the most
precious relic of the republic, and if
the practice of sending it hither and
thithcr on the request of cities and
program committees is to be INDUCED
in without restraint. there will come a
day when the bell will be destroyed.

President Mckinley expects to COM
plete his message to congress within
the next few days. He has outlined
the salient points of it to the members

ment has been reached as to all ques-

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
June 5.-There is no truth in the report
that Dreyfus has embarked on board
the Vile de Tangiers.
The Sfax, which left here at 10 O'Clock
last night to take Dreyfus on board,
sailed quite Unexpectedly. 1t was not
until o'clock in the afternoon that her
commander was notified to sail, and the
cruiser left as soon as she could get up
steam and take on board the necessary
provisions.
The authorities of Cayenne foresaw
four days ago that the Sfax would
leave Fort de France on her present
mission, and at o'clock this afternoon
the dispatch boat Goelande, stationed
in the waters of French Guiana, left
Cayenne, the capital, for Devils island,
the penitentiary and the commander of
the marine artillery. These officials are
delegated by the French government to
officially notify Dreyfus of the revision
of his trial.
Dreyfus received the day before yes
terday a cable message announcing the
decision of the court of cessation.
Dreyfus. however, will be under
charges after being officially notified of
the courts action in his case, but he
will be able to resume wearing the
military uniform of his rank, in order
to so appear before the new council of
war.
The Goelande will be back at Cay
enne tomorrow.

Sheriff Alfred thinks the original plan
was to hold up train of the Rio

Thompson's, but owing TO the rush of
prospectors of late to the Robbers
Roost" country in southeast Utah in
search of copper, plans were changed,
and the Union Pacific boldup pulled off
instead.
The opinion of Sheriff Alfred is held
by many persons here, as he is familiar
with the Robbers Boost" gang. II
was one year ago this month that he
and posse went out from Price and
brought in two dead from the Rooster"
gang, Joe Walker and the counterfeit

Sheriff Alfred notified Doc Shores of

of the holdup that was certain to take
place, and is now looked upon here as
more or less of a prophet.

I'm my judgment, the next congress

anew. The bill agreed to by the Repub-

doubt be laid before US in the nature of a
suggestion, and we Will consider it, as we
will do other features. Perhaps in the
future We will meet with the gentlemen
of the house. but nothing definite in that
line has been arranged
Have you any idea along what lines
the currency legislation will be framedg'
Il do not anticipate any very radical
measures We want to maintain our
standard and at the same time give the
country a safe and yet a flexible cur
renew. It is said that We ought to de-
clare for the gold standard. but We are
on the gold standard now. The recon-
mendations of the president relative to
the issue of national bank currency to
the par value of the bonds deposited with
the United States treasurer. "a decrease
in the tax on national bank circulation
and the payment of gold for greenbacks
when the latter are taken out of the
treasury, are all worthy of enactment
into law. and l should not be surprised to
see them adopted
There may be some new suggestions,
as, for instance some legislation regard
ing our silver certificates. which will re-
move them from the least degree of un-

they are as good as gold and while there
is not the slightest doubt of the ability
of the country to sustain them whether
