PROF. CLAYToN'S PERIoDICITY.
Continuing from last week Prof Clayton
says: "By grouping the phenomena into
periods OF three years, ] found certain
consistency in the average position OF the
maxlma and minma OF the seyen-day
period and asceriained the length of the
period at 7 days GA hours. In 1894,
with the assistance OF Mr.. sweet
land, ascertained the range OF all the
periods which were multipies OF this
length up to flfty eight days.
1T was found that the period of about
twenty nine days gave the greatest range,
and this led me to consider whether the
synodic rotation OF the moon was con-
oerned in the matter. IL was founu that
the length OF my seven-day period would

AG0NCILL0 LIES
LIKE A TAGALLO

LONDON, April 11-Agoncillo, the
agent of Aguinaldo, who is still in
Paris, suffering from influenza, has
written a letter to the Associated Press
saying:
1T is absolutely false that Aguinaldo
is willing to accept an autonomist sys-
tenn similar to that in India. The
Filipinos and their Government have
only one ideal-absolute independence
as the only source of general welfare"
PARIS. April lin an interview
printed in the Patrie to-day, Agoncillo
was quoted as saying: THE Americans
have fully realized that they will never
subdue the Filipinos and that the
policy Of Major General Otis has com
pletely failed. The Filipinos have re-
solved to defend themselves to the
death. They have in their power 1900
American prisoners. The wet season
is arriving and fever will soon attack
the American troops and disorganize
them. During this enforced truce we
are increasing the strength of our or
ganization. The cause of the Fill
pinos. therefore, is far from desperate"

DEWEYS OPINION
OF THE FILIPIN0S

WASHINGTON, April u.-Admiral
Dewey has written to the Secretary of
the Navy as follows, respecting the
capabilities of the Filipinos:
MANILA. Feb 23.-The good effects po-
ltically of taking the natives into the ser
vice of the Government have not been lost
sight of, and from the first large numbers
OF them have been employed at the Ca
vite naval station as mechanics and la
borers in coalng and in manning tugs
and launches.
l regret to state that the latter expert
ment has been only a partial success as
nearly all of the mechanics and laborers
left on the outbreak of hostilities between
the United States and the Filipinos and
are now believed to be in Filipinos ranks
l am una bic TO state how much of this
was due to intimidation and fOrcible i'm
pressment into the army by the so-called
Filipino republic, but from the statement
of some few who returned and the fact
that nearly all those who live in the coal
lighters and turrets-that is, under our
immediate protection. have remained it
would appear that intimidation was a
large factor in the disappearance of the
workmen. 1t is we'll known that the Agui-
naldo Government is a severe military
despOtism.
Although under the rule of the United
States the character of the natives will
certainly improve a sudden change is NOT
TO be expected. A few of them might be
employed on transports and vessels of
that kind; indeed, the Filipino quarter

KILLED HIMSELF WHEN
ORDERED TO PARIS
Locrimier's Suicide Followed by the
Receipt of ali Anonymous
MessaPe

PARIS, April 1.-THE suicide of Lieu
tenant Colonel Henry in the fortress of
Mont Valerien, Paris, last August gave
Locrimier, his secretary, such a shock
that his brain was affected and he was
placed on the retired list as a hopeless
invalid. Since that time the former SER
geant major of artillery has resided at
San Quentin, in a chatelet there, with his
family and his father-in-law. He recoV-
cred his health somewhat, but never spoke
of the Dreyfus drama, which evidently
preyed upon his mind.
Last Saturday he received telegram,
not from the Minister of War. as was
first alleged, but an unsigned dispatch.
ordering him to proceed to Paris imme-
diately to place himself at the disposal

to order you thus. Locrimier spent the
rest of Saturday preparing for tthe Jour

1t is remarked as curious that through
out the whole agitation Locrimier's name
had never been mentioned. There seems
no doubt however, that he could have
thrown some light upon the affair. es-
pecially regarding the mysterious death
of Lermercier Pickard, the detective. un-

in his lodgings in circumstances which
did not point conclusively to suicide.

asked for an adjournment on the ground
that the Minister of War had decided to
prosecute him for forgery and using
forged documents. M La Borie, his
counsel, Indignantly opposed the adjourn
ment, alleging that its object was to de-
liver Picquart into the clutches of the
military authorities. The Judges of the
Correctional Tribunal decided to grant
the adjournment whereupon Picquart
as he was about to be led away to i'm
prlsonment, made the following sensa-
tional statement:

IMMENSE CROPS
IN SAN JOAQUIN
Grain Yield Promises to
Be Enormous.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, April 1O.-The outlook for
the wheat crop in San Joaquin County Is
nothing short of magnificent. The crop
is no longer dependent upon the ra1nfaH
lin fact. it will be better if there be
nothing more than light showers; or pet
ter still no rain at all. The grain is now
growing so thick that many farmers say
a rain, accompanied by any wind, woulo
beat the stalks down. and the thickness
of the vegetation would prevent the
Strengthening necessary for heading.
Since the late rains a mass of sprouts
have come up and are so tender that they
would be easily broken. AS 1t is, they are
fast reaching the height of the hrst COM
erS. ~.
The farmers have ceased to estimate
the number of bushels they will have 70
the acre if conditions continue favoranle.
Everything points to an early harvest,
and it will have been many years since
the reapers went through such fields
The hay yield cuts no inconsiderable
figure in the calculations of the farmers.
They have learned by the sad experience
of the last two years that hay costs
money. Places which a few months ago
were barren are now a mass of green,
which in few weeks will become golden,
bringing happiness to the entire section.

FORGERY OF
HENRY HAD
NO WEIGHT
Did Not Influence General
Pellieux Against
Dreyfus.
TESTIMONY OF COME
Admits That the Exiles Alleged
Confessions We're Only "Par-
tial Avowals."
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, April 12.-The Figaro, con-
tinuing its publication of the evidence
given before the Court of Cessation in
the Dreyfus revision inquiry, gives to-
day the beginning of General Comes
deposition. General Come told the
court that he received from Colonel
Sandherr toward the end of 1894 the
bordereau which came into the hands
Of Lieutenant Colonel Henry. 1t reached
the latter piecemeal and was recon-
structed by him with the assistance of
various officers. 1t gave rise to long
and minute investigation by experts on
handwriting, with ithe result that sus-
picion fell upon Dreyfus.
When interrogated regarding the
communication of secret documents to-
the court-martial General Come re-
fused to reply but said he learned in
directly of the confessions of Dreyfus
on the evening of his degradation, and
on the following day he General Gonze)
took Captain LIE Brun Renaud to the
Minister of War General Mercier), TO
whom Captain LIE Brun Renaud repeated
his statements. At the same time he
Gomez addressed letter to the chief
of the general staff General de Bois-
deffre), in which he alluded to the con-
fessions as partial avowals, mixed
with reticences and falsehoOds.
With reference to Colonel Picquart's s
endeavors to substitute Comte Ester
hazy for Dreyfus General Come eX-
plained that Picquart never told him
Henry'S document was forgery, ana,
in fact, Picquart had not seen it.
After describing how Colonel Pic
quart came to be sent to Tunis, the
witness reverted to the secret dossier,
asserting that it came into Picquart's
hands in August, 1896. On September
of that year, he said, Picquart pre-
sented him with dossier he had
formed against Esterhazy together
with the Petit Bleu, which appeared to
him suspicious because it did not bear
a postage stamp and had not arrived
regularly addressed.
General Come declared General Pei
lieux was not Influenced by the Henry
forgery. Interrogated regarding the
cipher telegram from a foreign at
tache, dated November 2, 1894, he said
it looked suspicious, two different ver-
sions being given, and the Foreign Min
lister decided to exclude il from the
Dreyfus dossier. In May of last year
the Minister for War wanted to obtain
this document, but NJ HanotauX. Min
lister of Foreign Affairs at that time
refused to deliver 1t. General Come
said he had not seen the exact text of
the two versions. but he remembered
that Colonel Sandherr brought him one
version containing the words ennis
saire parvenu." A few days later Sand
herr showed him an entirely different
text
General Come declared he was ignor-
ant of Esterhazys relations with the
general staff, though aware of the i'm
prudences committed by Colonel Patty
du Clam. He assured the court he
knew nothing of the relations between
Esterhazy and Sandherr and had found
no evidence that Sandherr paid Ester
haZy.
