the investigation of his case will bring
out some unpleasant truths concerning
other American. consuls at Chinese
ports. At any rate, the affair is caus.
ing lots of talk in official circles.
DIR. Bedloe has always been regard
ed as an able and honest official and
one Of the best equipped men in the
consular service. Never before has
any charge against his honor been even
limited at. President Hayes made him
consul general at Cairo, and he was SO
successful there that when Benjamin
Harrison was elec.ed he sent DR.. Bed
loe to Annoy as consul. Then Presi-
dent Mckinley gave him the important
consulate at Canton.
DIR. Bedloe has great reputation as
raconteur and after dinner speaker
and is we'll known in many parts of
the country. He was one of the or
ganizers and Il prominent member OF
the Glover club of Philadelphia. When
Josiah Quincy removed him from his
post at Annoy. he was inclined to treat
1t as one of the highest honors he had
ever received in his official life, SO
jocular was his mood, and he came
back to this country as Chinn's com.
missioner to the Worlds fair. AS a
traveller he has been in most of the

position to the Masonic Grand Orient.
The Anti-Semite league declared from
the start OF the Dreyfus affair that
the Freemasons were, like the Profess
tants, the friends and supporters Of
the Hebrews and of the Jewish cap
tain. The ferocious NJ. Guerin has been
recognized not only as the head Of the
Anti-Semite league. but also as the
general delegate of the "Grand Occi-
dent" of France.
The regular and ancient order of
Freemasons In France cannot be said
to have taken any active part in an
official manner in the bitter Dreyfus
fight. But, of course, the French Ma
sons have repeatedly, as individuals,
manifested their sympathy for the
cause of justice and consequently for
the revision of the sentence dictated
with closed doors and without commu-
nication of the discriminating docu-
ments to the accused person by the
court martial in December, 1894
Still the anti-Dreyfusards pretended
that the close vote by which the cham
ber approved the ministerial pro-
gramme of NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau and
maintained in power the present cabi-
net, which they represent as favorable
to the Dreyfus cause, was obtained

Why NJ. Guerin Defied the

BY HOWlRDSPENCE SINCLAIR.

One of the incidents which have sup
piled a comedy feature to the tragedy
of the second Dreyfus court martial
has been the siege of M. Jules Guerin
and his little band of anti-Semites in
the house in the Rue Chabrol, Paris.
NJ. Guerin. besides being the presi-
dent of the Anti-Semite league, is the
editor of The Anti-Juif, one of the
most scurrilous journals in France,
where there is plenty of competition in
that particular line.
NJ. Guerin enjoys the confidence of
the Duke of Orleans, whose money he
has been spending freely. Probably
he thinks that his defiance Of the
whole garrison of Paris, the govern

Loss of Weight Below q Certain

During long fast the daily loss Of
weight becomes gradually less and

has reached a certain percentage,
which percentage varies with the orig
inal weight. Fat animals may lose
half their weight, thinner ones per
haps two-fifths.

In an interview with James Murray

it from the standpoint of an old resi-
Dental merchant of many years ex-
perience in the trade of the colony and
also as a former member of the legis-
lature for one of the districts Of the
treaty coast.
The French shore question: he said,
lis merely a stage property Of the poll
ticians. brought out into prominence or
run back into Obscurity just as at suits
other schemes and needs"
Has the French shore grievance no
substantial existence in fact?'
Enough to swear by and barely
enough TO keep it from becoming ex-
tinct altogether. Were it not for the
periodical efforts of local politicians to
galvanize it into renewed life. the
French fishery would have died out long
ago. The total value of Goldfish caught
on the French shore last year did not
exceed S35, 900 and the lobster fishery
$4,000. The whole fishery in value did
not pay the cost of fitting out the
French fishing fleet
why. then. was the fishery not aban-
dOned by the French?'
Simply for the reason have already
given you The French politician does
not wish to abandon an old stage prop
erty for the sake of old associations
and traditions even after it has be-
come a dead horse, and our NewfOund-
land politicians are in the same case"
Have the French expended much
public money in bOlstering up this I'M
profitable business?'
Like water. They have spent equal
to $50 0OO. 600 of public money during the
last fifty years in vamping up this al
most defunct enterprise and this enor-
nous expenditure has been concealed
from the French people"
can you tell me the average earn
ings per man lately on the French
shore2'
From $50 to $40 per man for goldfish
and were it not for the Holsters the cod
fishery would have been abandoned
years ago"
What is the capitalized value of the
codhshery on the French shore to the
French, as based on its annual average
returns2"
AT fifty years purchase the total
value of the catch would not exceed
81. 900, and the utmost profit that
would not exceed 10 per cent, OF $780,

A CORNER IN OUININE.
Is Being Operated From London and
Prices Are Advancing.

New York March 24-The Tribune,
discussing the recent advance of 65 per
cent in the price of quinine, says the
United States consumes about One-ha1f
OF the worlds output.
The cause of the present scarcity is
attributed by some to efforts made by
London spectators to corner the mar
ket. This may be true to a certain ex-
tent, but the fundamental cause is the
fact that the consumption seems at
last to have overtaken the supply, and
the surplus of bark which has existed
for years is now used up. The recent
war with Spain caused a big demand
for quinine, and the opening up of new
colonial territory by several countries
in Africa and elsewhere has also been
a potent factor in reducing the surplus
of bark. The consumption of Quinine
during the last bubOnic plague in India
was also immense.
1t is said that many cu1tivators of
cinchona have neglected their trees in
recent years when the price fell below a
profitable figure, owing to the over
production, and this has caused the
marked stringency in the supply which
is the basis for present high prices. 1t
may take some years to bring the crop
to it's former volume, If, indeed, there
be any desire to do so. which is doubt
full on the part of the planters. The qui
nine market is controlled in London and
a combine to take advantage of the
present situation is not improbable. AS
yet the retail druggist has not raised
the price of his Quinine pills, but this
state of affairs is not expected to last
long.
