Claims Growing Out of British Occu
patton of Fill Unsettled.

The long-pending claims of American
citizens growing out Of the British occupa-
ton Of Fiji have been recalled to the at
tention of the British government of late.
and there appears to be some prospect of
an adjustment. 1t is said at the State De-
partment, however. that no answer has
been given by the British government. and
that in the meantime any announcement
81 favorable results Is quite premature and
prejudicial. arising probably from the ex-
pectations of interested attorneys.

The commissary said an attempt was be-
ing made to show there was fresh forg-
cry. which was used for purposes of COM
parsons. to which NJ. Labori retorted that
Major Carriere was mistaken. The ten
dency of these crosS-eXamlnat1cns was, he
added, only to demonstrate the truth.
Mai. Lauth said he believed a clue to the
blue pencil document existed before the
trial of 1884 and NJ. Labor asked why. in
that case, IL was not produced at the trial,
since il incriminated the prisoner?
Gen MERCER said he did not know of this
clue and Maj. Lauth disclaimed all re-
sponsibility in the matter. as he was not
connected with the preliminary inquiry.
Gen. Gonse said the document had been
in the possession of Col. Sandherr (sensa-
tom, and it was by him placed in the Sc
cret dossier for comparison with other
papers
NJ Labor asked for explanations in re-
gard to the commentary on the secret dos
sier and Gen. Mercier admitted he destroy
ed 1t in 1897.
Gen Gonse who was questioned on the
same subject. declared that 1t was by order
Of Gen. de Boisdeffre that he returned the
commentary to Gen. Mercier.

Gated to the court-martial of 1894 He was
ordered by Gen. de Boisdenre not to in
clude it in the secret dossier. (Sensation).
Counsel next discussed three paragraph
documents, claiming that false rendering
of the Panizzardi telegram was to make II
point directly to Dreyfus as the traitor.
Gen. ChamOin Explains.
Mercier asked to be allowed to converse
with Gen Chamoin before attempting to
explain. Gen. Chamoin thereupon ad-
vanced ard explained about the document
which had been handed him by Gen Mer-
cier. He said he noticed inaccuracies in 1t.
and resolved not to use 1t. Witness, how
ever. had been carried away in testifying,
and read a page of the document, and 1t
was after friendly conversation with
Maitre Labor he read the entire document

 Teaching Another.
 Brooklyn Citizen: l know 2 young American in New York, who, some years ago, after saving enough money to pay his passage across the Atlantic, and studying French for short time, went to Paris, hired a room, and put on its door a card bearing his name, with the legend, Teacher of the English Language" In a few days he got a pupil at the rate of one franc a week; by the end of the week he had several pupils; his fame spread so that in 8 few months he had four classes, each class with 20 pupils, meeting in his room at different hours of the morn- ing and the evening. His weekly in- come now was so francs, or $16, which was twice as much as he needed for his support. All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils. At the end of the first year he could count dollars in his pocket by the hun- dred. Meanwhile, having managed to pick up some scraps of German, he de- termined to try his luck in one of the university cities of Germany. He there put out 8 small sign bearing his name and the words, Teacher of English and French" He got more pupils than he had in Paris, and meanwhile, not only perfected himself in the German tongue. but took lessons in Latin and Greek at classical academy. In less than three years from the time he left New York he came back to it. and now he is professor of ancient and modern languages. including the Sans crit and Persian, in famous American institution of learning. I would like to print his name in this place. but he says Don't" as he himself is going to get out Look telling the whole story

Eat Candy.

The time is luckily gone when g woman had to have two pounds of cam dy to tide her over Sunday, and she is better looking today for the exercise of common sense. X plain-spoken physician said to his anaemic patient: 'If you could see the inside of your stomach after eating candy you would never touch another bitv' Just after a hearty dinner is the best time for candy. Then the appetite for 1t is abated, and the small amount taken mixes with the other food. Sugar. nuts, chocolate and pure fruit syrups are all well enough in their places. and that is after. not before, the eYen- ing or midday meal.

 Well, in my opinion, the only bloomin' beggars in this bloomin' divi- sion wot ave earned their bloomin' pay in this ere campaign are them there Gurkhy scouts!" The above comment, overheard by an officer of one of the British regiments in the Tirah-and ioyfully reported to the commandant of the seouts-was undoubtedly a grievous libel or many gallant fellows who had fought and suffered and en- dured to an extent for which even the luxurious pay Of the British private can hardly be deemed extravagant says Blackwoods Magazine. The pes simistic Tommy who gave utterance to the islander would have been the first to resent any such calumny from an outsider. Yet two points are there by made clear-the marvellous amount Of finished work put in and the admira- ble manner in which most difficult and hazardous duties were performed by them there Gurkhy scouts'' In a re- cent speech before the Military Society of Ireland. Lord Roberts emphasized his appreciation of the utility of these skirmishers. and advocated the exten- sion of the system for future operations on the frontier That this new de- parture was the most successful and most striking feature of the expedition, and that the innovation was more than justified, have been generally conceded, and on the Gourkha scouts has been nngrudgingly conferred the title of ''.The finest hill soldiers in the world. !"

 A reporter named Jones on q daily in St. Louis was detailed to interview the governor of another state, who had slipped into the city on a secret polit- ical mission, says the Argonaut He learned 10 his disgust that Jackson, the star reporter Of a rival sheet, also proposed to call in an hour. Acting on inspiration. he sent up a card bear ing Jackson's name and was promptly admitted. When he had learned all be wanted he asked, with gross inten- tional impotence, whether the infor- nation was really true. The governor turned purple. "D'y' question my word?" be said "Oh, don't get gayP' replied Jones airily. Common gov ernors cut TO ice with my office" The old man loaned at the mouth. "You insolent scoundrel." he roared, "get out of my roomst" That was exactly what Jones wanted. and he went. Pres ent Jackson showed up. Here, boy, 5 he said pompously, take my card to the governor. When the old man looked at the pasteboard he nearly ex- pired. 'sThe blankety- blanked infa- nous villain!" he spluttered. T never heard of such blankety- blanked et- fronteTy in my life Tell that misere- ant that if he or anybody else from his internal paper comes up here I'll kill 'em" The word was carried to Jack son, who went away raving.
