From the Philadelphia Record
Those anti-eXpansonists who declare that
the acquisition of Hawaii and of the islands
Ceded to US by Spain constitutes a prac-
teal abandonment Of the Monroe doctrine
are strangely oblivious to the real scope of
that declaration of American policy, which
was the extension of a practical protector
ate over all that part of the Americas not
in the possession of European powers. The
acquisition of Alaska Hawaii and the
Spanish islands, by purchase and conquest,
is in respect 50 bold an assertion of the
right of the people of the United States to
protect themselves against political and
commercial aggression and to assume their
due place in the discussion and decision of
international affairs.

He is a man of fine abilities, connected with
some of the oldest and best families of this

Librarian Putnam's Good Work

Librarian Putnam is putting the Library
of Congress abreast of the times Strangely
enough. it has heretofore been impossible
to consult in one place in Washington the
leading newspapers and periodicals of the
world. and many of them are not to be
found there at all. Now one of the largest
halls of the new library building is to be
equipped as a newspaper and periodical
room. and it will be conducted on the lines
laid down in Boston's Public Library. which
has the best facilities of this character to
be found anywhere.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
HOMEWARD BOUND
Cruiser Olympia Leaves
Gibraltar.

GIBRALTAR, Sept 1O.-The United
States cruiser Olympia with Admiral
Dewey aboard sailed this afternoon for
New York
CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLlNG-
TON HOTEL. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10
Admiral Dewey's departure from Gibrai-
tar to-day is earlier than officials had eX-
pected Their latest information concern
Ing the Olympias itinerary indicated that
she would not sail from Gibraltar much
before the middle of the present week,
but It is supposed the time of leaving the
British port has been expedited in order
that the vessel may certainly arrive at
New York upon the date set by the re-
ception committee and assented to by the
Admiral.
Admiral Dewey will decide for himself
what route he will follow in crossing the
Atlantic No advces on this point nave
been received by the department.. 1t Is
believed however, that the Olympia Will
follow the great circle route, stopping at
the Azores for coal. Officials who know
the Admiral say New York should not
expect him before September 2, the date
set as that upon which the Olympia
should arrive there.
1t is presumed that the Olympia will
spend a couple of days at the Azores and
loiter on her route so as to use up the
eighteen days remaining of the Admirals S
homeward voyage.
Rear Admiral Sampson with the North
Atlantic Squadron will sail from Phila-
delphia this week for New York, where
he will complete the arrangements for
Admiral Dewey's reception.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO. Sept. 10. - The Chronicle
says 1t is said by prominent railroad
men that the Hartman syndicate is qui-
city working on a plan for a transcont-
mental railroad system. This is to be
brought about by the extension of the IL
linois Central Railroad to Omaha. The
latter company has its line 10 the Mis-
souri, River town about finished. 1t is
said that when this connecting link is
completed the Union Pacific and Illinois
Central systems will be welded financially
and physically to form one line from Chi
cago 10 the north Pacific Coast.
When this is done the Hartman syndi-
cate will have the Baltimore and Ohio.
from New York and Philadelphia to Chi
cago. From Omaha II will own the Union
Pacific and the Oregon Railway and NaVi-
cation line. In addition 10 this II owns
the Illinois Central from Chicago to New
Orleans and the Chicago and Alton to ST
Louis and Kansas City, and is figuring on
the control of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf from Kansas City to the Gulf
of Mexico.
Chicago will be the center of this great
system. From here II will have its own
lines to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and two routes from Chicago to the Gulf
Of Mexico and n side line to Sioux City,
Ia. The syndiCate's system Will also be
strongly allied with the Missouri Pacific
and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas. the
two largest railroads in the Southwest:
With the purchaseof the Minneapolis and

reported to be a near probability, the SYM
dicate will also have a line to st. Paul

GENERAL MERCER
BURNED IN EFFIGY

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Indignation
over the reconviction of Dreyfus mani
tested itself to-day in many ways. Gen
eral Mercier was burned in effigy in
Eldridge street. there was a big pro-
test meeting of Jews in the Thalia
Theater; many preachers referred to
the trial in their sermons, and prepar-
ations were made for an appeal to
Washington.
In the burning of the effigy there
was no organized attempt to rouse the
public opinion. Several young men
made the effigy of straw, soaked with
kerosene. A mask with a big mus
tache and a cap completed the flo
ure The effigy was fastened to two
upright poles with wire. On the breast
were placards, reading General
Mercier," French Justice" and Hon
est Witness"
The meeting at the Thalia Theater
was impressive in its earnestness. The
house was crowded to the doors, al
though admission was charged. Sew
eral times the police had to clear the
lobby after the sale of tickets was
stopped.
Invitations were sent to-day to lead
ing citizens and clergymen, irrespec-
tive of race and religion, to take part
in great Drcyfus protest meeting,
which will be held this week in

with wireless telegraphy to be conducted
by the American navy.
Signor Marconi will bring with him a
complete wireless telegraphy equipment.

iments. The inventor is expected TO arrive
in the course of a few weeks.
As soon as Signor Marconi and his in
struments are here Admiral Bradford will
recommend to the department that one of
the vessels of the navy be set aside for
experimental work. 1t is proposed TO
place a receiver on the shore, and the
warship will communicate with 1t at vary

the system can be developed and the value

If the experiments are a success it is
not unlikely that the navy will be
equipped with instruments so that prompt
communication can be had between ves-
sells or between vessels and the shore.

EDITOR FRANCIS SAYS
DREYFUS MAY ESCAPE

BOSTON, Sept 10.-M. Francis, one of
the editors of the Paris Figaro. was in
Boston when the fact of Dreyfus' con-
demnation and sentence came in. When
asked what the general sentiment in
France was, he said:
THE thinking men all over France.
no matter how much they may have
thought him guilty, expected that on
the grounds of eXpediency he would
never be. adjudged guilty. They thought
that the fear of revolution would pre-
vent such a finding by the court-mar
tial. l would not be surprised If at this
minute Paris was in an uproar and
revolutionary mob sweeping through
her streets. There may be one. two or
three generals killed. 1t would not sur
prise me- Is this the end? 1t is only
the beginning. 1t is the end of the
Dreyfus case. as far as that goes. That
is to say he can never again appeal
it and the Court of Cessation will have
no further jurisdiction over IT. But it
is the beginning of all sorts of trouble
The case will become matter of re-
ligion and a religious war. The Jews
will spend their last cent to find out
the truth, and 1t may land on the gem
erals. The Jews do not care who their
investigation strikes.
What does the sentence of ten years
in prison mean?" and he shrugged his
shoulders. That means a year He
will be sent probably. to a military
prison in Africa, and if he is not killed
within a year, a way will be opened for
him to get away and safe into another
land"
will the Cabinet make any move
in the matter? What will the Cabinet
do if there is a revolution?'

rather than see a backward step taken
