declared 1t was a disgrace to the country.
The chairman OF tho meeting was unable to re-

him while the greater number OF the old
soldiers who favored expansion crowded to-

and remarks OF q like character. When the
people at last took their seats Simpson was
unable to go on with his speech and closed his
remarks In few words.
Fully 1900 people were in the tent when
Simpson began speaking. Ho was down for
non-partsan speech. but began n vehement
protest against tho expansion policy OF the
Government He said he had been called
traitor for his remarks. but that II was dis

who have attempted to establish a Republic.
Hedeclared he wanted to see the Fiipinos win

PARIS. Sept. 22.-The Figaro 8 correspondent.
Jules Huret who travelled with ex-Capt.

interesting incidents Of the trip Dreyfus told
him that he attributed the animoslty OF the
headquarters people toward him to his Jewish
faith and his independent character.
Il was never one who would lick any ones

me guilty oftreason."
NJ Huret asked Dreyfus how he managed to
live and keep his reason while on Devils
Island. Dreyfus replied:

n Tuesday night when 1t became known that
Sheehan had beaten Cookers friends at the
primaries. had been replaced In it's old position.
1t was explained that Mr. Croker's picture was
not torn up. as was reported. but that 1t fell
to the floor. and that as soon as a new cord
could be obtained. 1t was hung up again.
Mr.. Sheehan spent yesterday taking the
statements of all OF his followers who felt
aggrieyed at the way in which they were
treated by election inspectors or policemen at
the primaries. Mr.. Sheehan repeated his
declaration that he would prosecute every man
against whom evidence OF having violated the
law could be obtained. Chief OF Police Devery
said yesterday that Mr.. SheehAn's charge that
the police interfered in the primary was
wholly unfounded. The Chief said that
