TRIAL.

Colonel Jouaust Displays Par
tiality.
RENNEs, Aug. 2l.-The third week
OF the second trial by courtmartial Of
Captain Alfred Dreyfus. Captain OF Ar
tilery, on the charge OF treason, began
without Incident a. $50 this morning.
There was large attendance at the
Lycee at The opening Of the court, IN
view Of the possible temperance OF
Maitre Labori, leading counsel for the
defense. But. Though he IS progressing
az satisfactorily as possible, his phys
icians deemed IL best for him to remain
quiet.
Dreyfus created a better impression
to-day. He entered the court room with
a more confident bearing, and replied
TO the Witnesses in a calm voice without
any theatrical gestures, and his remarks
were put 20 lucidly that he appeared to
make an impression on the judges, all
of whom are reputed to be bitterly op-
posed TO him.
The session wound up with scene
on account OF the extraordinary con-
duct vi Colonel Jouaust, president Of
the court, who permitted himself to
make an unwarrantaole display of par.
tiality. NJ Bertullus had been con
fronted with the last witness, Captain
Juncb, and General Gomez had defend
ed the latter when Colonel Picquart
asked to be allowed TO refute some {,
Junck's remarks, Colonel Jouaust
made gesture of impatience and
shouted: What, again?n
An outburst of booing and Kissing
came from the audience at such a dis
play of unfairness, Judges and gen.
darmes quickly suppressed the noise,
but Colonel Jouaust understood the
well.merited rebuke administered 10
him. turned red, and adjourned the
court ten minutes later,

Bruce and Fellow Prisoners Bar
barously Treated.

A letter of Albert Lowenshon, for
merly boatswain on the Zealandia, and
now a prisoner in the hands of the Fill
ippinos, has just reached the American
papers and confirms the story of suffer.
ing, starvation and torture contained
In the diary which we published a few
weeks ago. The letter was carried TO
the American lines by Spaniard. II
mentions Bruce and Honeyman among
the prisoners aud says they have been
treated in most barbarous manner.
Up to the time of the arrival of Lieut.
Gilmore on April 1lth, the prisoners
had been bound, beaten and starved,
and It VAS only on the advance OF the
United States troops that they received
better treatment. The letter concludes:
"For God S sake, can nothing be done
for"us? We have been starved, abused
and treated like animals.

TWO MORE COPPER CLAIMS
SOLD.
New York Capitalists Getting a
Firm Eoothold.


News reached here this week Of the
sale of the Star and Star of the West
copper claims in West Camp TO the
same company of New York capitalists
who two weeks ago purchased the
Rockhill group, which the new acquis-
itions sdjoin. Messrs. W. 7. Hook
and Jos. Bray went from here to Reno,
where the sale was negotiated with the
owners OF the property, Sol Hip, Gov
ernor Sadler, Judge Cheney, Thos.
Wren and A. jackson. The price Is
$40, 000, payable 81, 200 down. and the
balance ia installments at intervals OF
sixty day., beginning January 1st, 1000,
three pay ments OF 81, 200 zach and the
last three payments of -, 900 each.
Mr.. Bray is expected back the latter
part OF this week to commence devel-
opment work, which will no doubt be
pushed as rapid y as possible, owing TO
the rapidity with which payments
come due. The claims are without
doubt possessed Of great merit and a
little capital, coupled with intelligent
management will soon prove their
worth.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1899-08-24
TO The PUBLIC:

There seem to be rumors abroad to
the effect that the Utah & Nevada Ex-
press Co., which corporation I have
the honor TO represent, Is trying to
take undue advantage Of the shipping
and travelling public by charging ex-
orbitant rates for freights, express,
fares. etc. This is misimpression, as
our rates have not changed for the past
four years, and are as follows:
PASSENGER FARE.
Ely TO Wells, sic, round trip, $50;
Cherry to Wells, sl2, round trip, $50;
Ely TO Cherry, So, round trip $40.
FREIGHT AND EXPRESS RATES.
Wells to Cherry Creek or Ely, pack
ages weighing SO lbs. or over, 81. 80 per
hundred pounds. For packages OF less
than 80 lbs. weight, regular graduated
rates are charged, as established by the
ten largest express companies in the
United States, as follows. lio 25. 2ib
s 80, 3lb 8. .45. Alb S.50, oh s.55. 1ib s. IS,
lob s. 10. l5ib $50, 20io s 90, 25fb Sl.00,
3Orb S1.10, a5fb sl2O, 40ib l.35. Ash
81. .25. sob 81 %. The above applies to
all goods except FRUIT, which 10 guam
titles OF 50io or more Is 5 cents per
pound, as il is perishable, must come at
once, must be pro 'ected, ard takes
four times as much room In our stages
as any other class Of goods.
These rates are not exofbitant, but
are less than Wells-Fargo's rates for
the same distance between Nevada
points on the railroad. We are now
running a first class two-and-four horse
stage line from Ely to Wells, in order
30 accommodate the public, when one
horse line would carry the mail and
express at as great a profit, with hall
the expense and capital invested.
The misrepresentAtlons have run to
such a degree that deem protest to
ne necessary. In some instances the
annoyance has become so great that we
have had to exclude certain shippers
from our list entirely. as they are only
nuisance and detriment to our line
and the law does not compel us TO toll
crate such annoyance. 1t has been our
experience that the biggest GROWERS
are the smallest shippers.
With the vast majority OF our pa
irons we have no complaint to make
and will continue TO handle their goods
with all possible care and dispatch.
| The rrowler. however, must either Quit
growing or ship his goods some other
/ wav.
We remain very respectfully.
UTAH & NEVADA EXPRESS Co,
B. T. MILLER, Manager.
