To Welcome Montana Boys

Oakland, Sept. 2.--Business men of this
city desire to honor the Montana volun-
teers when they return from the Philip
pines 1t is proposed to give them ban
uuet in Oakland. In communication
addressed to the Oakland Tribune, busi-
ness men of this city say:
.The citizens of our state have just
given well-merited and magnificent
welcome to our First California fegi-
mcnt on their return from Manila. but
we think our obligations are not yet all
discharged.
"A year ago last July the Montana reg,
iment came over to Oakland at the re-
ouest of the Fourth of July committee
and gave us a sham battle on Adams
point, using 10000 rounds of ammunition
belonging to the state of Montana, with
ont expense to u.s. 1t was great day for
Oakland and was appreciated, as was
shown by the presence of the thousands
who gathered to witness the maneuyres.
"Since they sailed away from our
shores thev have acquitted themselves
honorably in the service of their country.
he lieutenant colonel was badly woind-
cd and the ma jor of the regiment With
many of the brave boys were killed.
."The regiment is now on its way home
and will be due in San Francisco about
Septemter 20. 1t would seem that in re-
, cognition of their services to their cpun-
try and as showing our appreciation OF
the pleasures they have afforded us. that
some welcome should be given them by
the city of Oakland. We suggest that the
sa me committee which acted for US be-
fore be requested to invite them to Oak
land for parade in our streets and give
them a dinner in the exposition building

Not one Of the generals today found a
reply to the last argument. which looked
like a ciincher. Deboisdeffre alone declar-
ing that although it was true the cir
cu'ar mentioned was sent to probat ton
ers, they knew that they could never
theless go to the maneuvers if they made
special application.
MERCER and Roget went on the stage
ana confronted Lamottc, and a heated
discussion ensued. Roget asked when
the witness had altered his conviction in
favor OF Dreyfus. and Lamotte replied:
AT the time l was before the court Of
cessation, I expected proof of my COM
rade's guilt. and l was thunderstruck
when l found the date of the bordereau
had been changed
Roget was greatly excited during the
foregoing scene, but Lamotte didn't
finch. He raorted quickly to all the
generals observations. The two men
glared at each other and once Roget ad-
dressed Lamotte in such bullying fashion
that the audience hooted him. The pris
oner rose to reply to Deboisdeffre's argu-
ments. He declared he had never asked
for permission to go to the maneuVres
and recalled that when Du Clam fixed
the date of the bordereau in August, he
(Dreyfus) pointed out he could not have
written the phrase: II am going to the
maueuvres."
Roget here interpcsed that the request
to go to the maneuvres was usually made
verbally so it could not be proved wheth-
er Dreyfus had or had not asked to go.
The general, however, admitted that no
inquiry had ever been made on this inn
portant point. The court then adjourned

Fatal Case of Yellow Jack.

New Orleans, Sept. 2.-The report OF
one fatal case of yellow fever III New Or
leans has caused no excitement here, and
no hegira from the city, but there is con-
siderable vexation in business circles for
fear of quarantine of surrounding towns.
For week al least it seems likely that
Texas and Alabama will be closed
against New Orleans freight, involving
heavy loss in current business.

what is believed to be it's final quietus

EUROPEAN CROPS POOR.
Big Shortage in Grains of all Kinds
France the Exception.

Washington, July 19.-The agricul-
tural departments foreign crop reports
for July states that there is an estimat-
ed shortage in the Russian wheat crop
of from $4,000 900 to 100,000000 bushels
compared with last year. The def
cheney is most serious in regions most
favorably situated for exports. In the
north the unseasonably cold weather
has affected all crops of hay, potatoes,
and all grains except oats. The rye
crop, an important one, is very short.
The Prussian official report on wheat is
a little above fair 2.3 being the tech
nical designation The Austrian out
look for wheat and rye is good in all
but one province, that of BukoWina.
Austria, ROumania and Bulgaria are all
a little below the average in wheat, rye
and maize. The French estimate of
the wheat crops of Spain and Italy puts
it at $4,000, 900 bushels below last year,
the shortage being somewhat the
heavier in Spain. The wheat crop in
France is represented as satisfactory,
but the optimistic estimates made early
in the season have been scaled down.
In Great Britain the reports state that
storms did considerable damage to
crops of grain that otherwise would
have ranked as fair. Hay IS very much
below the average. The report from
India shows better conditions in Ben
gal and the northwest than for several
years previous, but this Improvement

SAY THEY WE'RE DECEIVED.
What the Filipino Leaders Think
About the Americans.

Minneapolis, July 19.-The Times
this morning publishes an interview
which took place May 10, at San Isido,
Luzon, between it's special correspond
ent, Martin E. Lew, of the 18th Min
nesota, detailed by General Wheaton as
brigade interpreter, and Major Lorenzo
Zialcita, leader of Aguinaldo's band
and one of the Filipino commissioners
who went to General Otis with propo-
sitions for an armstice. He denied that
the Filipino officials ordered the burn
ing of Manila and the wholesale muir
der of the Americans and cit
ed as proof that many Of
ficers were in Manila that night
and were taken prisoners. He said
the proclamation of Otis, proclaiming
himself governor general, had incensed
the FilipinOs, but asserted that both
the Filipino leaders and the people be-
lieved in the Americans before hostili-
ties began. In speaking of the repeat
ed promises of independence made
before the fall of Manila, he said
the FilipinOs had not mis-
uuuOISCOOQ Vi ulSCUuSCIu0Q C1G IoA-
guage of the American officers. t'Con-
sui Widman verbally made this state
ment to us and we had so much con-
fidence in the good intentions of the
United States that to us it meant as
much as if it had been delivered in
writing. Besides, when we were in Ca
vite, number of us had the honor OF
entertaining Gen. Anderson. This
was before Manila was taken by your
forces. Anderson made a speech in
which he said that the Americans had
not come here for the purpose of taking
one foot of territory with the view of
permanent possession, but to give the
Filipinos their independence. On Sept.
81 last on the occasion of the Fiesta a
number of American officers celebrated
with us at the residence of Pedarno
Pachero and all expressed the same
sentiment. On many different occa-
sions we were told by men in authority
that Filipino independence would be
recognized"

DECISIVE VOTE.
River and Harbor Bill Passes Senate After
Session.cf Nearly Eight Hours.

Washington, Feb. 94-After a session
Of nearlyeig hours, the Senate this
evening at $50 o'clock, passed the river
and h9rbor bill by the decisive vote Of
so t93. The measure was under con-
sidefation throughout the day, and on
several of the committee amendments
a determined fight was Nude, but in
every instance the opposition awaited
nothing. The Sharoest contest arose
over the Nicaragua canal bill amend
ment. A point of order was made
against 1t that it was general legisla
ton, but the Senate, to which the vice
president submitted the point, over
ruled It, 1t was then attacked as NOT

THE NEXT CENSCS.

The New York Tribune is making
an energetic fight to prevent the ma
tional census from being sacrificed to
the spoilsmen. In this effort it has the
support of other influential journals as
well as the best sentiment of the coun
try. The remedy TO be applied is the
placing of the census under the civil
service rules, and that should be done
after the bill is reported to the Senate,
if the committee neglects to do it. The
house bill made the census bureau in
dependent of any department of the
cabinet, and the separation NAV be
considered good thing in itself. Where
the house duIled was in refusing to
make appointments amenable to the
civil service rules. With national
election and national census going on
in the same year, the wisdom of pro-
tecting the census from political abuse
becomes more obvious than usual.
The reasons for demanding such
protection are neither sentimental nor
theoretical The Tribune urges with
much force the boast of the st. Louis
platform, that civil service reform is
q republican measure, and also the
pledge OF that platform, to extend the
reform wherever practicable" It
happens that practicability is one of
the strongest claims of the census to
the protection of the civil service
rules. The serious work of the bureau
demands skilled and trained workers
of definite character that can be cas-
lily ascertained by examination. Such
workers must be had if Trustworthy
and creditable results are to be achiey-
ed
But that is not all. Carroll D. Wright.
chief Of the bureau of labor statistics.
once declared that he would not un-
dertake a census unless the merit sys-
tenn should determine the selection
of his subordinates. He showed.
moreover, how millions of money
were wasted by adherence to the
spoils system in the last cen-
sus. Robert d. Porter, superinten
dent of the last census, admitted that
his experience was unsatisfactory be-
cause he could not control the ap-
pointments of his subordinates, he has
come to rank among the advocates, of
the civil service system. Probablyl no
body will accuse Mr.. Porter of ann ex-
cess Of reform sentiment. In facx the
whole argument, whether it relatks to
practicability or political expedien&y, is
on the side of those who urge thai the
census should be put under then civil
service rules. Hence, the appeal y the
Senate to correct the Houses mistake.
