SCHNEIDER AND
CU|GNET FIGHT
Duel Resulting From the
Dreyfus Case.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-A dispatch from
Paris says that representative of the
Intransigeant M Rocheforts paper, as
serts that while seeing a friend off on the
Orient express last evening he observed
Colonel Schneider, former military at
tache of the Hungarian Embassy
at Paris, being carried to the train, ac-
companed by physicians, and with blood
flowing from wound in his side. Colonel
Schneider said:
II recently returned from Switzerland
to fight a duel with Captain Cuignet on
account of his evidence before the Rennes
court-martial.
Captain Cuignet. in the course of his
evidence at Rennes in the second trial of
Dreyfus, referred TO dispatch of Colonel
Schneider, denouncing as a forgery a let
ter purporting to have been written by
him in which he was represented as al
luding to efforts made by the German and
Italian military attaches to conceal their
relations with Dreyfus. This allegation
of forgery Captain Cuignet ridiculed, de-
claring that if Colonel Schneider per
sisted in his attitude the French general
dispute the authenticity Of the letter
which Schneider had repudiated. He then
added:
THE author of the letter is, know, Of
very inferior position as compared with
his friends (Schwartzkoppen and Paniz-
zardD. Perhaps he cannot do otherwise
than deny this But he must know that
his letter is not the only one of his COM
munications now in our hands"

BlGAMIST ROBERTS
VISITING BROOKLYN
Congressman Elect Declares He Vio-
lates No Law in Maintaining
Three Households.

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-Congressman-
elect Brigham Henry Roberts from Salt
Lake City, who is in Brooklyn, came East
over a week ago on a private visit. He
will remain about week longer and then
go to Philadelphia and probably to Wash
ington. Speaking 10 a reporter he said
there was no indictment against him when
he left Utah that he knew of, nor did he
know there was now an indictment. He
had broken no law he said. That he had
a plurality of wives was true, but he had
married them before the manifesto of 1890.
There had been no plural marriages since
then, nor would there be any; Any in
fringement of the statute would be discip-
lined by the church as quickly as by the
laws Of the land.
Mr. Roberts said his visit TO Brooklyn
was merely friendly one TO the people of
his own religious faith. They were here
TO preach the gospel, and did not desire to
be brought into any controversy which
might affect him.
Speaking of his election to Congress he
said il had been accomplished independ-
emily of the church, as he had received
the greater number of votes from Gen
tiles, and it had been an election by the
people He had no fear about facing
Congress nor any misSiving in regard TO
the outcome of the situation.

CANADA SHUT OUT
FROM TIDE WATER
Text of the Agreement
as to Alaska.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING-
TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-
Considerable qualification is felt in ad
ministration circles at the announcement
made by Sir Louis Davies that Canada
has agreed to the arrangement establish
ing a temporary boundary line between
the Dominion and Alaska determined on
by Secretary Hay and Mr.. Tower several
weeks ago.
No official confirmation Of Sir Louis
Davies statement was received by the
State Department up TO the close of Of
fee hours this afternoon. Nevertheless
adVices received by the authorities dur
ing the past few days convince them that
ne has been correctly quoted. and that
the moous viVendi has been agreed upon.
1t has been practically settled for sew
eral weeks. but there remained some
minor matter Of detail to be perfected,
and their discussion has delayed final
agreement
AS it will be signed, the modus vivendi
will provide that a temporary boundary
line shall be drawn from the connecting
Canadian custom-house at White Pass
and Chilkoot Pass. The line shall then
be traced southward to a mountain peak
about mile and half northwest OF the
Indian village of kuckwan. That line
shall determine the beginning and end Of
the authority Of the two governments
over their respective territory, and 1t
shall not prejudice any claim either may
have to territory on either side Of the line
outside of such expressed authority. The
rights of private individuals shall not be
pre1udiced in consequence OF their loca
tion either in American or British terri
tory.
The modus vivendi intended specifically
to prevent a conflict of authority between
the constabulary Of the two governments
and strife between the citizens of the
United States and the subjects of Great
Britain shall continue in force until
treaty is negotiated determining perma-
nent boundary.
BY this agreement Canada will be ex-
cluded from tidewater and all her goods
sent to the Dominion from the Pacific
must pass through American territory
She will have no outlet on Lynn canal and
the location of the line above Kluckwan
places her out of reach Of even canoe nav
igation. The matter of permitting a Ca
madam warehouse at tidewater and the
transit of goods to the Dominion over
American territory has no place in the
negotiations relating to the temporary
boundary line and IS a subject OF separate
discussion.
The establishment Of the modus vivend
shows how carefully Secretary Hay has
safeguarded the interests of this country
and especially the Pacific Coast.

Among the difficulties to be met in the

Colonel John Z. Irish says that the diff

irrigation was illustrated fully last year.
The San Joaquin Valley. owing to the
scanty rain Of the preceding winter. had
a Very small crop. Placer County, on the
other hand, had a fun crop Of fruit. be-
cause the South Yuba Company had the
FOrdyCe reservoir full of water that had
been stored. When the South Yuba ditch
ran dry the company turned in the
water from the reservoir, and the people
had all the water they needed and the
orchards were COrrcspondingly fruitful
That demonstrated what could be done.
Most Of the people of Placer County had
forgotten that there was such a water
supply In the reservoir until the emer-
gerCy due TO the dry season made it

Nance o'Neil in "The Jewess."

If tragedienne desires to test the full
capacity of her dramatic temperament let
her appear in the curse scene" Of The
Jewess" and she will have every oppor-
tunity to prove whether she is endowed
with versatility. In this part of the drama
the actress is called upon to interpret a
variety of emotions, the contrast and
fervor of which demand the keenest ap-
probation Of dramatic climaxes. Hence
Il is this very scene which seals the fate
of that woman who desires to be regarded
as a good "JeWess." If she fails here
then all her activity in the balance of the
play becomes futile.
Nance O'Neil seems to dissect the lines.
She knows every iota Of their import,
and what is more she is aware of the
uniQueness of the Jewish character. She
does not only portray the emotions of the
one, but she pictures accurately the
despair of the faithless child who has
wandered from the straight path of her
religion. her people. her nation, for q
man whom she thinks unworthy of such
sacrifice. Her despair Is pictured in her
features, her tears are not affected, her
hate is fierce and her curse springs from
her lips with the piercing anguish Of q
soul in torture. she acts her part in a
manner which entrances the audience and
rivets its attention until the curtain drops.
No wonder that five curtain calls re-
warded her for her splendid work.
However. Edwin Mordant is not q fit
leading man for such a virile actress as
Nance O'Neil. He may be we'll enough
as a Juvenile in passably good society
play, but he Is certainly out of place In
a drama like The Jewess." His voice is
not endowed with sufficient dramatic tim
Dre, nor does his department exhibit suf-
hclent force. The contrast between him
and the tragedienne is too great TO be
passed by unnoticed
Stage children are generally swallowed
up in a play Of this sort, but little Anita
Loos dlu her part so unaffectedly and
with such natural grace that it would
be a pity to deprive her of the credit due
her. A stage child who is really child
like IN a play Is rarity, but Anita may
be classed among these excentions .1Tbe
Jewess' will be repeated this evening.
