KEEPING CHARLEY'S SEAT,

He Would Not Come Forward to Claim

much merriment was excited by the
efforts of stout, good-natured look

succeeded in securing seat herself
and holding another one by the me-

stage. In front Of these she stood

saw the young man and began wildly
to wave her handkerchief at him, but
apparently ne was looking everywhere
save in the right direction. Meanwhile
several seat-hunters had espied the I'M
occupied chair and were casting en-
vious and suspicious glances at it.
The situation was becoming critical;
so, without more ado, the stout party
put her hand to her mouth and shout
ed in stentorian tones across the en-
tire auditorium: Charlie! Here's
your seat" Every one laughed; but
Charlie, evidently not counting unwel-

THE DRAGONS QUELL
 THE DEMONSTRATION
Number of the Noisy Leaders Were Placed Under Arrest by the
 Gendarmes.

Several squadrons of mounted gendarmes and dragons with carbines slung across their backs galloped up and threw them selves across the road leading to the Hotel Moderne. Other detachments of cavalry cordoned all the approaches to the cafe and then gradually closed in on the crowd, which was now rather large and extremely threatening, and drove them like cattle across the bridge over the river and into the upper part of the town, which was filled with shouts of "Vive rarmee," and down with the Jews"
 A number of the most noisy of the dem onstraters were arrested and the cavalry at quick trot broke up every group and foced participants in the demonstration out of the center of the town, around which was formed cordon through which no one was allowed to pass except those provided with a pass from the police authorities.
 The demonstration dwindled from this time until 11:3O o'clock this evening, when only a few noisy bands were left parading the smaller streets. but running at the first sight of man in blue.

GREAT EXCITEMENT
 PREVAILS IN KEYNES
Rigorous Measures of the Police suppress Demonstration Started by the
 Anti-Drcyfusards

Scenes of great excitement occurred at Rennes tonight. The anti-Dreyfusards broke loose and started a demonstration which, but for the prompt and rigorous measures by the police would undoubtedly have developed into serious disorders.
 The first sign of trouble manifested itself immediately after the verdict became known. The streets leading to the Lycee were at that time filled with crowds of people awaiting news from the court room. The announcement of the prisoners con demnation was agreeable to a majority of these and cheers and cries of 'vive rarmee" were raised, the gendarmes and troops looking on without making any et- tempt at interference. The terrace in front of the cafe De la Paix, the leading cafe In Rennes, was filled with the people taking their afternoon drinks and aperahaperitifs.
 When the verdict of the court was an- nouuced the customers arose to tbeir feet and demanded that the string band which plays on the terrace should give the Mar seillais." The band struck up the air and

CAPT. DREYFUS' WIFE
 BEARS UP BRAVELY
To the Curious Onlookers She Shows No Sign of Her Torture and
 Suspense

His wife, who was waiting in torture and suspense at her house, bore the news bravely and when visiting her husband this evening showed the onlookers who were in the street no sign of her sufferings as she walked from her carriage to the prison.
 Mathieu Dreyfus was not present in court this afternoon, but visited his brother after the verdict had been ren- dered He found him perfectly calm and without any manifestation of surprise at the finding of the court. The prisoner simply shrugged his shoulders, uttering an expressive "Bah," adding as he embraced his brother, as the latter was preparing to leave, "console my wife"
 The general belief Is that Dreyfus will be pardoned but this will not satisfy his friends, who vehemently declare that they will refuse to accept the verdict and will continue the battle until the judgment is reversed. The verdict, they say, is directed fus, and if allowed to stand, will make their existence in France impossible M. Labori and M. Demange took the midnight train for Paris
 They drove to the station in a closed carriage, escorted by four gendarmes. The road was practically deserted and no dem- onstration occurred en route or at the sta- tion. Maitre Demange and Maitre Labori will tomorrow sign an application for re- vision of the case, although there is no hope that the verdict will be reversed.

THE BERLIN PRESS FAVOR BoERs
In the Event of War in the Transvaal Germany Will Not Stand Idly By-Naval Maneuvers Of
 Heligoland

Berlin, September 9.-The situation in in- ternational politics has been somewhat in- tensifed this week. The dismissal of sev- eral cabinet members and a number of higher Prussian officials Is merely a symp- tom of this. The emperor, as King of Prus- sta, before starting for the maneuvers had lengthy converse tons with Prince Won HohenlOhe, the imperial chancellor and president of the Prussian councils of min isters, and Dr. Miquel, vice-president of the council and minister of finance, in which the difficulties of the situation were thoroughly yNdiscussed.
 The emperor hopes to see the canal bill, when it is reintroduced, with modfca- tions at the next session, pass, notwith- standing the opposition of the agrarlans. In this he will probably be disappointed despite the methods employed in discipin- ing the agrarians and the government of fcials serving as delegates to the diet.
 The Emperor Is DesI e.ate
 The emperor is resolved to go to the length of forcing the resignation of every official, be he high or low, who actually sympathizes with the powerful agrarian so- city, the Bund Derlandweithe This will strike many.
 The probability of war between Great Britain and the Transvaal is discussed with great interest. The press comment IS most unfavorabe to Great Britain. The general opinion seems to be that the Boers were wrong in making the suzerainty question the main issue. Still, while Great Britain has doubtless secured a free hand 1t is not likely that Germany, France and Rus sia will remain impassiVe spectators or all the complications which will possibly arise out of the war.
 If the British are defeated there is a splendid chance for Germany in South Af- rica while in the case of a British victory there will be the greatest Boer trick ever seen the Boers emigrating en masse to German territory Then. it is added, Great Britain will want also to oust Germany from South Africa.
 The Naval Maneuvers The naval maneuvers near Heligoland have not been sensational Following the example of the United States in the war with Spain, the government has ordered the equipment of a number of repair ships for the navy, closely patterned after the Vulcan These will be fire-proof, and Will be used in training firemen.
 The Vossische Zeitung prints hitherto unpublished letter from Prince Bismarck to Field Marshal von Manteuffel, in which Bismarck was far from complimentary to the Prussian conservatives. This is one of a number of unpublished letters brought out since the death of the field marshal by a syndicate of liberal politicians. They are said to contain many highly sensational letters, including some of the old emperor s correspondence to his son, then the crown prince

AETGELD ON DREYFUS
Conviction Will Have Effect on Our Nat
 tional Campaign

Chicago, September 9-Ex-Governor Alt geld declared tonight that the second yer dict of guilty against Dreyfus will play an important part in the national compaign.
 '"The influence of tine finding of that courtmartial at Rennes," the ex-governor said, twill not be confined to France but will be world wide. It's significance in this country will be hders tood readily when the imperialistic policy of the republican administration is exposed fully. It will carry home to the people the danger of a great standing army, which must be main tained if nationa would be imperial.
 "Dreyfus is a sacrifice to the alleged honor Of the army of France. The mon- strous verdict handed down in the face of facts that simply overwhelmed the ac- cusers was necessity to the army. That institution was in danger.
 Standing armies are menaces to the peace and happiness of all nations. The policy of imperialism being pursued by the Mckinley administration is simply thin veil for the purpose of great corporations and trusts to foist a great military insti- tution on this land"

Rennes, September 9.-The expected has happened Dreyfus has been condemned, but though a majority of those in the court room fully expected the verdict, they were completely stupefed when it was given, and the silence which prevailed in the room and the way men turned pale and caught their breath was more expressive than any other manifestation could have been.
 Maitre Demange sunk back in his chair and tears trickled down his cheeks, and Maitre Labori turned white as sheet, ed at each other in silence. Positively the only sound to be heard was the rustling Of papers from the reporters benches as each press representative tried to be first to eend the news.
 When the audience left the court room fully ten or fifteen men were crying open ly, and the majority of those present walk ( quietly down the street for more than block without speaking a word. It was like funeral procession.
 Meanwhile tragedy was being enacted in the little room off the court room where Dreyfus listened to the reading of the ver- dict. He had been told the result by his lawyers, and had wept bitterly. but when in the presence of the officials of the court martial he listened impassively to the sen- tence.

JAMES B. EUSTIS
 DIES AT NEWPORT Mas Ambassador tO France Under
 President Cleveland. AT PACKED WITH PNEUMONIA Physicians Decided Sunday That There Was No Hope Of Recovery. NO ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNERAL He Devoted Much Time to a Critical Review of the Dreyfus Case in Which Was Much Valua- ble Material
ATTACKED WITH PNEUMONIA
NO ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNERAL

Newport, R. l., September 9.-James B. Eustis, ambassador to France during the second Cleveland administration, and for merly senator from Louisiana, died at his summer home in this city at 8 o'clock tonight of pneumonia.
 MT. Eustis was taken i'll on Wednesday, but the local physician, after an examina- tion, thought the trouble to be heart fail- ure. The patient grew worse on Thursday, developing symptoms of pneumonia and on Friday there was a consultation of physicians, who stated that there was scarcely any hope of recovery.
 The end came tonight very peacefully. MT. Eustis' son, James B. Eustis, Jr, and his daughter, Miss Celeste Eustis, were at his bedside. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but 1t is thought the body will be taken to Louisiana. Mr. Eusts came to his summer home on Chan ming avenue, as was his custom, early in July, intending to remain until autumn.
 All the early part of the summer he was in excellent health, devoting many hours to a critical review of the Dreyfus case, in which was embodied much valuable mate rial gathered during his official residence in France.
 The extreme heat prostrated MT. Eustis, and at the time 1t was attributed in part to overwork. As he had never been troubled with his heart, no special anxiety was felt at his prostration, and later he seemingly recovered his strength and vigor. It was not until the recurrence of the trouble the past week that his illness was looked upon in a serious light, and then it was diagnosed as secondary pneumonia. From the rapidi- ty with witch dissolution came, 1t Is evil dent that the disease was firmly rooted in the earlier attack.

DEWEY NAVAL PARADE
Expected To Be Greatest Marine Spec

New York, September 9.-The Dewey na- val parade is expected to be the greatest marine specA gle that the country has ever seen. It willNe at least seven miles long and probably much longer. At an informal meeting of the naval parade committee to- day, which was attended by Captain Rob- ley D. Evans, many details were settled. Responses from various yacht clubs indi- cate that there will be at least 100 steam yachts m line, each decked from stem to stern in it's holiday dress.
 Commodore J. Pierpont Morgiin, on the Corsica will lead the yacht division, with Sir Thomas Lipton's Erin next in the line of honor. Windows along the route of the land parade on Fifth avenue and Broao- way are renting at fabulous prices, as high as $500 being paid for one set of three windows.
