PARIS, July 26.-The Petit Journal
says that Captain Dreyfus is i'll with
fever and that his condition is serious.
An evening paper is authority for the
statement that General Zurlinden, for
mer Military Governor of Paris, will be
removed from the Supreme Council of
War. as was General de Negrier yester-
day.
The depression in rentes, which de
clined nearly a point to-day, is attributed
solely to the action of the Ministry yes
terday in the case of General de Negrier,
by which NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, the
Prime Minister, and General Marquis de
Galifet the Minister of War, gave new
proofs of their energy in dealing with all
elements of trouble.
General de Negrier is acknowledged to
be one of the best French generals, and
as Inspector General of four army corps
and a member of the Supreme Council of
War enjoyed the confidence of his fell
low officers and the public. The compro-
missing statements. he made at Bourges
smack so strongly of a coup de etat or
some form of pronunciamento in posse
that it has created anxiety among finan-
ciers and speakers, who do not know
what may be the upShOt of the Govern
ments strong step or how far military
officers are inspired with sentiments SINH
lar to those expressed by General de
Negrier.

lowing this determination he gave TO the
press on Sunday last official correspond
ence to show that he originated the ldea OF
sending Spanish prisoners back to SPAN
and that his ingenuity saved the country
$500 900.
This was to have been followed by an
other contribution from official files to
show that he has all along approved the
idea of sending more men to the fhlip-
pines. 1t has not yet appeared, ana was

SACRAMENTO. July 26.--Thomas Har-
rison, a farmer on the road near Brigh-
ton. this county, became possessed of the
suspicion that his wife was untrue to him,
although he could get none of his neigh
bors to believe such a groundless charge
Gradually the suspicion worked upon his
mind until it made him insane, and one
day he murdered her. tried to kill their
children and then cut his own throat
Mrs Harrison. dying, forgave her hus-

This inquiry was held this morning and
the verdict was that Harrison was clearly
insane. Tomorrow, when the murder
trial is recalled, Harrison will be dis
charged and ordered removed to the asy-

He was placed in the care of friends

that could be given. Mrs. Reading, at
whose home the little fellow has found

to renounce his vows. resign his pas

her family and friends, what she was

The priest pleaded that he could not
do so, as he had no means of livelihood
outside of his pulpit. He agreed that if
she would wait a while they would go
away and be married and he would
start life over again under new condi-
tions and in another land. To this she
would not agree. She insisted that she
must regain her honor among the peo-
pie in whose opinion she had lost it.
Father Gloria in a measure yielded to
her opportunities. He attempted to
seek a new field, and applied to the
authorities of Stanford University to
give him a position as a teacher Of Ian

WILLIAMS MOVED TO
AVOID A LYNCHING
Taken to Thomasville Under Guard
of Two Companies of
Militia.

BAINBRIDGE, Ga. July 26.-On ac-
count of the excited state of the people
here Sheriff Patterson tonight took John
Williams. the negro assailant in Jail here,
whose life has been clamored for by a
mob for two days, to Thomasville for
safe keeping. Under guard Of two com
panies of militia, which arrived here this
morning and between lines of jeering
people. the negro was taken to the depot
and put on board Plant Line train. 1t
is thought the trouble is over.
The action of the leading citizens of
the town late last night in confronting
the mob as it marched to the Jail saved
the life of Williams.
The Iynching party, with dynamite and
telegraph poles for battering rams, was

PLANS OF THE vANDERBILTs.
Henry Willard Thinks There Will Be
No New Transcontinental Line.

SEATTLE, July 26.-Henry Willard the
well-known railroad man, does not take
much stock in the rumored Hartman
Vanderbilt transcontinental line. He said
to-day:
'It is not practical and there are many
legal and business complications that
would hinder It, No doubt there is a GER
eral of the roads said to be in on the new
DEAL but this would mean nothing. Mr.
Hartman is himself identified as an off,
GER of several of the lines and many
others are stockholders in two or more.
.As q consequence they are working on
friendly basis and probably will continue
to do so. Thus it can be seen there is no
necessity for a reorganization as trans
continental system. l do not believe it
will ever appear"

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE
IN ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Senator Perkins Declares the United

SEATTLE, July 26.-United States Sena-
tor George c.. Perkins, who returned here
to-day from a trip to Alaska, thinks there
is nothing to arbitrate in connection with
the Alaskan boundary. He said:
'It would certainly be just as reasona-
BILE for us to insist on taking up the
boundary question between the United
States and Canada again and declare our
dissatisfaction with the forty-ninth de-
gree of latitude. England long ago recog-
nized the boundary for which we are CON
tending. She did this when the Hudson
Bay Company, in what at that time was
practically Canada, executed a ten-year
lease of the territory from Russia, for
which she is now contending. She leased
it from Russia and renewed the lease for
a second ten years. What better proof
could we ask for than Great Britain s
attitude as outlined in that contract?
Portland canal is ours, and we should
see that the line is extended along the
summit as long as the range does not lie
to exceed ten marine leagues from the

able notoriety of her relationship with
Father Gloria.
AS a matter of course" she said
yesterday, Il deeply regret that this
matter has become public, but Father
Gloria and 1 are to be married to-mOr-
row night, and I suppose 1 must sub
nit to the inevitable notoriety that fol-
lows from the fact of our union. / do
not care to discuss our early relation
ship, but Father Gloria is a good man
and my husband. Our contract of mar
riage was made and signed long ago,
and although an officer of the Catholic
Church attempted to take it away from
me he succeeded only in obtaining
copy.
Anything in relation to that contract
is my affair and 1 have told it all to
my attorney, who will respect my con-
tidences until he receives my permission
to repeat what have told him. L have
decided to take this step and be pub
licly married for the sake of my boy.
Father Gloria has resigned as pastor of
st. Joseph's Church, and after we are
married he will endeavor to secure
position. He is q cultured man. and
/ am sure if he is not oppressed will
be able to obtain employment. 1t is
true that his application to- the people
Of Stanford University was ignored, but
1 will go with him and together we will
make another appeal.
THE story that my husband intended
to leave this country and return to
Brazil is utterly false. He will remain
here and seek a position in keeping
with his ability. He is a good linguist
and a scholar and l am sure there is
some avenue open for such man. We
have only a few hundred dollars, and
that will not keep us long, SO L hope
he may find something to do"
Miss Collins then related in detail
most Of the facts Of her relationship
with Father Gloria. She spoke bitterly
Of alleged attempts made to separate
her from the priest, destroy her mar
riage contract and thrust upon her the
responsibility for the long. association.
Father Gloria has promised me SOL
emnly," she said, ''tO marry me pub
licly tomorrow night. l have known
him too long and loved him too dearly
not to know that whatever influence
may be brought to bear upon him he
will not break his promise"
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-27

plished linguist and hoped that with
his ability he might earn livelihood.
His appeal was unanswered. He then
turned to the University of California
and met with the same failure. He
could think Of no other avenue of en-
ployment and made no further effort.
Meanwhile the condition of affairs for
Miss Collins was rapidly growing worse.
Among some people she was known un-
der the name of Mrs. Marshall and
among others by her own name. Time
after time she and Father Gloria have
made visits to this city and under the
name Of Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall have
registered at local hotels. Complica-
tions were arising on all sides and the
church authorities were hearing the
rumors that were floating
An investigation was instituted by
the church authorities, who sought to
silence the unfortunate and regretable
slander connected with the name of
Father Gloria. The priest was called
before his superiors and admitted the
facts. He offered to resign at once,
but the authorities would not permit
that, rightly insisting that rigid in
quiry should first be made in his ad-
ministration of the affairs of his parish.
While this was in progress Miss Col
Inns was interviewed and told her side
of the story.
Rumors were now flying thick and
fast. The tongues Of gossips were wag
ging as they generally do unjustly and
in exaggeration of the facts. Miss Col
Inns was told that Father Gloria was
party to scheme for delay in order
that he might desert her. To protect
herself from the effect of such a con-
tingency and from another wild rumor
that her marriage certificate was to be
stolen from her, she sought the advice
of an attorney and had two certified
copies of her marriage certificate made
One of these copies she claims was
taken from her by a Catholic official.
The other is in the possession of the at
torney and the original is still in her
keeping. While she was taking these
measures for self-protection Father
Gloria was preparing to leave his
church. His resignation was already in
the hands of his superiors and two
weeks ago he announced to his congre-
cation from the pulpit that he was go
ing away on a long vacation and would
probably not come back. Contributions
were made by some of his parishioners
and a purse was given to him. Miss
Collins construed this to mean that
Father Gloria intended to desert her
and she grew then more insistent in
her demands to be publicly married be-
fore either she or the priest should
leave Oakland.
Father Gloria agreed to do this. On
Tuesday he again sent in his resigna-
tion and promised his contract wife to
marry her publicly tonight, the cere-
mony to be performed by a Justice of
the Peace. AS far as the Catholic au-
thorities are concerned the disagreeable
and lamentable incident has been
closed. The Reverend Father Pimentel
of San Pablo has been chosen to take
charge of the parish that Father Gloria
has abandoned.
Miss Collins, as might be expected is
sorely distressed over the entire affair,
but in justice to herself and to her boy
she is determined to accept the inevit-
