Colonies LeOon.

SOlOANNIH ASpOSNt
PARIS, July 12.-M. Lebon, the for
mer minister of the colonies, has ad.
dressed a long letter to the government
in reply to the charges Of Louis Havet,
member OF the French institute. who
accompanied Nine. Dreyfus to RenRes,
who alleges that Dreyfus was cruelty
treated in his island prison. The for
mer minister says no one in 1895 ques-
toned the Justice Of the verdict Of the
Dreyfus court martial; that in Sep
tember, 1895, II was reported that an
American vessel was about to rescue
the prisoner 1nd there was some talk
among the wardens as to the possible
ity OF his escape. Hence, NJ. Lebon be-
came sOlicltous for the safety OF the
prisoner and ordered Dreyfus to be
confined in his hut with double.locked
doors, but with a sentinel inside until
the hut was surrounded by palisade,
when the hut might be opened. The
building of the palIsade occupied lOn-
ger than was expected, but no harm to
the health OF the prisoner was reported.
NJ. Lebon denies tampering with the
correspondence of Dreyfus.

brief, Senator Chandler remarked:
"The commission seems TO have

POLITICAL
DISCORD AT
CONCORD.
Senators Gallinger and Chandler
Lock Horns on the Civil
Service Laws.
mr.. GALLINGER is ACCUSED
OF Violating Them..Inquiry Be-
comes Warm and Blows
Narrowly Averted.

CONCORD, N. H.. July 1.-THE
hearing in connection with charges of
violating civil service laws, against
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger, preferred
by former governor Charles A. Busiel,
was continued to-day. Only two wit
nesses had responded to the invitation
Of the commissioners to be present at
to-day's session. They were Postmas-
tiers Henry Robinson, of Concord, and
H. A. spauldIng, of Nashua. Their
testimony was to the effect that CAM
paign circulars asking for assessments
for campaign purposes had been sent
out, as alleged in the charges.
Before any witnesses were heard,
Senator Galllnger asked permission to
make a personal statement, in which
he called attention to. alleged untruth-
full statements made in the editorials
Of Concord paper, and In dispatches
from Concord to a New York paper.
The statements referred to by sena-
tor Galllnger stated that the present
charges are based upon the finding of
a letter in Concord addressed to a man
in Rye, N. H., containing check for.
500 and instructions to use the sum
"cIrculnspectly" among the Indifferent
voters of Rye.
1t was also claimed that the check
was signed by Senator GallInger. This
the senator denied. The incident is not
connected with this hearing and sena-
tor Ga5llnger's statement was not made
part of the record.
Robinson Was Loaded.
Following this the witnesses were
called. Postmaster Robinson stated
that he received one of the assessment
circulars. He was asked II he had the
circular In his possession, and replying
that ho had, produced 1t and gave 1t to
the commissioners who filed 1t away.
This incident caused considerable sur
prise.
Mr.. Robinson then said that he had
mentioned the fact OF receiving the
circular to Senator Chandler and upon
the advice of that gentleman, had seal
ed 1t up and he had shown It to no one
until this time. He was asked to con-
tribute 500. he said, and he wrote to
the civil service commission asking
them as to his ability to contribute un-
der the law. He was Informed that he
could not contribute. Copies of the
correspondence between Mr.. Robinson
and the commission were introduced
as par. OF the evidence and Mr.. Robin
son closed his testimony by stating
that he did not contribute.
Postmaster spaldng was chairman
Of the Republican state committee in
1855 He stated that he received one of
the circulars on which the charges in
this case are based, but that he did
not contribute. When chairman of the
state committee, he said, he personally
signed the assessment circulars which
were sent out, but none were sent to
federal office holders except to senn-
tors congressman and judges of the
federal courts.

A Warm Passage.

No other witnesses being available,
the hearing at this point took recess
until p. m. In the course of the af-
ternoon the proceedings were inter-
rupted by an exciting episode between
Senators Galllnger and Chandler, who
were only prevented from coming to
blows by the interference of friends.
Senator Chandler accused Senator
Galllnger OF being responsible for the
absence from the hearing of Treasurer
Thayer, Of the state committee.
Senator GallInger dared Senator
Chandler to repeat the statement out
side of the room. Hot words followed
and the senator's advanced toward each
other with clenched fists when inter-
ference prevented blows. Commission

APPEAL FOR PARTY HARMONY.
DEMOCRATS SHOULD FIGHT THE
TRUSTS, SAYS BELMONT.


Question OF Finance Not Regarded
as Important Mt This Time-He Is
Gold Man, but VIII support Free
silver If IL VIII Do the Party Any
GOOd-What the Present Duty of
the Party Is.
New York, March 25.-The Herald will
print tomorrow a letter from Oliver H.
P. Belmont, in which he calls on the Dem
ocrats to harmonic their differences and
close up the ranks for the battle of 1900.
He says:
Speaking for myself. I am a gold man,
but 1 VIII unhesitatngly support free sill
YER Is to /, should it be made the platform
sentiment of the party in 1900. 1 will give
my full support to any candidate whom
the convention selects.
However, do not regard the question
of finance as of prime importance at any
time. 1t will grow steadily less important
between now and the next election. Some
suggestion of the truth of this can be
found by comparing last falls election
figures, state by state, with those of 1896.
1t is not to be denied that general interest
in finance as a question, or to put 1t
plainly, in silver at Is to /, as a question,
is falling away. There is no such general
strong silver demand as there was three
years ago. That, no doubt, is due to
condition Of better general business and
easier times. For myself, however, | say
again / do not fear silver as we have had
silver coinage before and succeeded, just
as we have single gold standard now and
succeed. We will not meet wreck If we
have silver, any more than ruin is to over
take US under the single gold standard.
THE trusts form the giant evil, immi-
nent and threatening, in our affairs. There
is no time or room for details here. But
the monster combination of money, call
ed the trusts, whose methods contemplate
the bribery of Congress and legislatures
and even the control of the courts, must
be destroyed.
ITO do this we should have an income
tax and an inheritance tax. We should
have public ownership of all those fran
chses which are now in the hands of
great railroads, bridge and electrical COM
panies and other combinations of a kim
dred sort. Above ALL we should have the
initiative and referendum and so put with
in the actual power of the people at the
polls TO propose or pass a law or, If need
be, press to repeal a law In spite of any
action by venal or corrupt Congresses or
Legislatures.
I'VE should attack government by In
Junction and the national bank system
We should be for the election of senator's
and the United States judges by the peo>
pie. We should be in favor of increasing
the navy and against an increase in the
army. We should be for economy and for
the cutting down of expenses. We should
be against expansion and the Selling of
the Philippines beyond such harbors or
islands as are necessary for naval sta
tons
IF we were to go in for all these mat
tiers and add to them, and attack the op-
position for its rotten war record, for it's
roguery of embalmed beef, for its steal
of contract, there would be no doubt OF
Democratic success"
