THEY ARE UP FOR TRIAL,
French Senate Met as a High Court of
Justice to Try the riotters Against
the Government.

PARIS sept. 10 The senate met as
a high court of justice Monday at p.
IN. for the purpose of trying 22 politi
clans including NM. DeMouicourt.
Deroulede, Mariel-IIabert THE.
baud, Baron DeVaux and Jules Guerin,
on the charge Of conspiring against
the government.
The procurateur general, NJ. Der
nard, read the long indictment, which
lasted from 2:25 till $40 p. m, when
the senate entered into secret session
to discuss the indictment and deter
mine the questions relating to the pre-
liminary inquiry which is to be or
dered. 1t will then adjourn until the
conclusion of the inquiry, perhaps a
month later.
Some of the passages of NJ. Barnard's
bill of indictment grew too boisterous.
Not one of the accused was present or
in the palace Monday, but nine cells
have been fitted up for them in the Ii
brary. The cells are very comfortably
furnished. The floor is covered with
linoleum and the walls are hung with
greenish cloth.
The most rigorous precautions were
taken for the safety of the senate
building Monday afternoon. 1t was
cordoned by police, who were stationed
every few yards, while every gate lead
ing to the Luxenburg palace was guard
ed by detachment of municipal
guards. Nobody was allowed to enter
the court yard or even remain in
the precincts of the palace without
card of entry. Consequent
ly only a small crowd witnessed
the arrival of the senators, who
alighted from their carriages and en-
tered the palace without demonstra-
ton of any sort, except the raising of
hats by few of the spectators The
ticket holders, after crossing the main
courtyard, had to traverse the dark en-
trance hall passing between a double
row of stacked rifles a strong detach-
ment of municipal guards in their blue
uniforms decorated with red cord
eddy examined the tickets. The pub
lie and press gallery were crowded, the
former were chiefly occupied by ladies'
The senator seats were we'll filed.
On the resumption of the public sit.
ting, NJ. Fallieres announced that the
senate had decided by a vote of Pa
against 50 to allow prisoners TO be rep
resented by council during the prelim-
mary inquiry, hut that the question
of the competence of the senate to sit
as high court to try the charges had
been adjourned Until after the conclu-
sion of the preliminary sitting.
| This is a tantamount to an adjourn
ment of the high court for several
weeks at least. Most of the senators
were present when the announcement
was made, but there were few persons
in the public and press galleries.

steps for Pardon.

LONDON, Sept l7.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the London Daily News
says:
The premier, NJ. Waldeck Rousseau,
has promised definitely TO propose a
pardon for Dreyfus at next Tuesdays
cabinet council.
LONDON, Sept. I'm. DeBlowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
says:
II learn that Capt. Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for a re-
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern
ment to take immediate steps to par
don him. This parGon will not annul
the civil and military consequences of
the verdict and he will, therefore, nc
longer belong to the army.
There is nothing, however, to pre-
vent him from applying to the court of
cessation to quash the Rennes trial
whenever the new fact required by law
is produced. When liberated he will
settle in the south of France, as the
mem bers Of his family do not wish to
expose him to such demonstrations of
sympathy abroad as might be used
against him by his adversaries at

RUNNING FIGHT.
Seven Negro Miners Killed IN a Riot
at Carterville, ILL.,, With Whites.

changed = Few Words, when the
Negroes Opened Fire on the
whites-Fight Followed.

CARTERvnLE, ILL.,, Sept. ls.-Carter-
vile was the scene of bloody riot
about noon Sunday in which four Ne
eroes were instantly killed and one
wounded unto death while two others
received slight wounds. Trouble has
been lowering ever since the militia
was recalled by Gov. Tanner last Mon
lay. The white miners of this place
have refused to allow the Negro miners
to come into town, always meeting
them and ordering them back. Sun
day however 10 Negroes, all armed,
marched into town going TO the
Illinois Central depot where they ex-
changed few words with the white
miners there, when the Negroes pull
ed their pistols and opened fire on the
VIII ties who at once returned the fire
when a running fight was kept up.
The Negroes scattered, but were
followed by the whites, running up
the main street, while the remainder
took down the railroad track. Here
the execution was done all who went
through town es,apinC. After the
fight was over four dead bodies were
picked up and another mortally
wounded. They were taken to the
city hall. where che wounded man
was attended to and an inquest held
over the dead ones.
Trouble has existed here off and on
for over year, but no fatalities &C.
Cured until June so. when a passenger
train on the Illinois Central railroad
was fired into and one Negro woman
killed. These Negroes were on their
way to the mines, having come from
Pana. A short time afterwards a
pitched battle ensued between the
union and non-union forces during
which time the dwellings occupied by
the union Negroes were burned.
Several arrests were made and the
parties are in Jail at Marion on
the charge of murder awaiting trial.
The mayor has taken every precau-
ton TO prevent further trouble and
none will occur unless the Negro os
make an attack. 1t is now rumored
however that the state militia will be
here within a very short time. II they
arrive no further trouble is looked for.
Superintendent Donely of the Brush
mines, where the Negroes are employ
ed, reported that the Negroes are
worked up into a frenzy and that while
he is doing all in his power to hold
them in check. he is afraid that he can
not do so much longer and that unless
the militia arrives shortly further
trouble may be expected.
Two more dead negroes were found
late Sunday evening near the BrIsh
mines, swelling the total killed to six.
Cunmins, the wounded negro, is re-
ported dead, making a total Of seven
killed.
Company c, 4th regiment l. n. l. ",
arrived here late Sunday evening, and
will endeavor to preserve order.
Forty miners from the Herrin mines
left that place for this city armed with
Krag-Jorgensen rifles and are deter
mined to assist the white miners here
il their services are required.

VANDERBILT'S WILL.
Everything Points to the Younger Son
Being the Favored Heir. Which
Causes some ID qualification

NEW YORK, Sept. l9.-Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, younger son, is the favored
heir of Cornelius Vanderbilt. He was
called home Saturday, although ad-
vised on the day before to continue his
tour of the world with his
college mates The summons was
the result of conference of
w. X. Vanderbilt with Chauucey
NJ. Depew, Z. V. w. Rossiter and tho
Vanderbilt family lawyer, Henry b.
Anderson. The will will not be offered
for probate until Alfred Vanderbilt's
return. All the mbers Of the Van.
derbilt family are pledged to preserve
secrecy concerning its details until
that time. This attitude is interpreted
as meaning that the division of the
property is far from satisfactory to all
those concerned.
