SENATOR HAYWARD IS STRICKEN
ATTACKED WITH APOPLEXY AT
BRoWNVILLE, NEB.
Conc ition Is Serious Although the
Attending Physicians Have Hope
of His Recovery.

Omaha, Aug Ex-senator NJ L. Hay
afternoon at Brownville, Neb. where
! he had gone to deliver an address at
the Modern Woodmen picnic. He was
apparently in good health and spirits
! up 10 the moment of attack and was
sitting on the platform chatting pleas
antly with friends while awaiting his
turn to speak
Just as the presiding officer was
about to introduce the senator ne was
seen to sway in his chair and then
fall helpless to the platform. the doc
tors who were in the audience speedily
made their way to his side and the
members of Woodmen kept the crowd
/ back. The doctors worked with him
from a little after l o'clock. when he
was stricken. until almost ,, before the
senator recovered consciousness. He
was then removed to a residence near
by. where he now is. The wife and
son of the senator were summoned
from Nebraska City and arrived on a
special train during the afternoon with
the family physician.
1t had been intended to remove Sena-
tor Hayward to his home during the
afternoon and up to about 4 O'Clock it
was thought this could be salty done.
About this time unfavorable symp
toms developed and it was decided to
abandon the attempt. He is now some
weaker than at O'Clock and while the
doctors have not abandoned hope they
admit he is in very precarious con-
dition.
A physician who came from the bed
side of the sick senator at p. m. re-
ported that there was noticeable i'm
prOvement. The paralysis was apparent
~ passing away and the patient was able
to speak.

WHITE RIVER UTES RESTLESS
NUMEROUS DEMANDS MADE
WHICH ARE REFUSED.
Trouble Arises Over Their PROPOSE
ton to Go to Their Old Colorado
Reservation.
(snecial to The HeraldA

Price, Utah, Aug. 15.-Special Agent
Harper of the Indian bureau, who has
been out to the White Rock agency for
a month treating with the head men OF
the White River Utes in reference to
returning TO their old reservation in
Colorado, has departed for home. This
has been his seventeenth visit TO Uin-
tab and Uncompahgre counties on va
riouS missions.
When the special agent came out
here it was in answer to the demand
of old Sowowic, Little Jim, Caloompt
and others, that unless the whites were
driven from the Ashley valley, the SOL
diers taken from Fort Duchesne, the
Uintah Utes moved to the west end of
the reservation and Uncompahgre
county turned over to them for grazing
purposes, the miners made to move
and Indian Agent Myton sent away,
they would go to Colorado by force.
Besides these there were various minor
demands too numerous to mention, but
equally ridiculous.
A flag of truce was raised till Wash
ington could be heard from. All of the
demands were refused and just what
will be done now by the White Rivers
remains to be seen. There are run
ne.s out to Shoshone county in Wyom-
ing and to See the Navajos in Arizona,
from where the leaders of the White
Rivers get council and it may be that
another effort to move will be made
when these come in.
Old SOwowic has lost heart and is
spoken of now in the past tense as
leader and bad Indian. He told the
special agent before the latter's de-
parture that he was old and would now
go home to die, having lost influence
with his people. There are other bad
Indians and leaders among the White
Rivers and this action of the old chief
murderer and general disturber does
not mean necessarily that there is an
end to the idea of moving on to the
game section across the Utah line.
Old Tabby, now 9S years old, friend
of the whites and a chief of the Uin-
tab tribe, has lately counseled with Old
Sowowic and the other bad White Riv-
ers, they say, has had an influence over
him.
Agent Myton feels very much re-
lieved, as it was old Sowowic who had
threatened to murder him and every
body at the agency. The Indians sent
out several weeks ago TO the other
tribes are expected in now at any time

GUERIN STILL DEFIEs POLICE.
Police Fear An Attempt to Take Him

Paris, Aug. I'm. Waldeck-Rous-
seau conferred several times during the
day with NJ. Lepine, the project of po-

that a recourse to force in the arrest

selves to rescue him from an impossi-
BILE and foolish position. Mr.. Stevens,
son of the well known artist. obtained
from the government a permit to enter
NJ Guerin's house and advise him to
surrender at discretion, assuring him
that no one doubted his courage, but
that he ought not to compromise his
friends and be the cause of placing
human life at stake.
Joseph Lasces, anti-Semite deputy for
Geers, wko was furnished with sim
liar permit, visited NJ. Guerin at ,
o'clock this evening and conferred with
him for three-quarters of an hour,

At about 1890 NJ. LasceS went to see

mie-''s absence he was received by his
chief of cabinet. In the course OF an
interview afterward, Nj. Lasces denied
that he was in charge of any negotla-

PROBLEM OF TRANSPORTATION.
To Be Solved By Shipment of Mules
to the Philippines.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The problem of
transportation in the Philippines has
been under consideration by the war
department for some time. 1t is ex-
pected at the end of the rainy season
it will be necessary to move the troops
some distance from the railroad and at
the present time the means of trans
portation are not sufficient for q large
army and extensive operations The
difficulty has been met by sending
mules to Manila in large numbers. The
quartermaster's department has al
ready shipped about 600 of these ami
mails and will send 800 more very soon
There are nearly 1000 more owned by
the department which will be sent if
needed.
These animals will not only be used
for transporting supplies in wagons,
but 1t is intended to organize a pack
train for carrying guns and equipments
where teams cannot be utilized.
The indications are that the cam
paign after the rainy season, is to be
conducted not only near the railroad
where General Otis has confined most
of his operations, but the interior of
Luzon will be penetrated.

HOW PORTORICO WOMEN DRESS
MRS. HENRY TELLS WHAT
CLOTHING SHOULD BE SENT.
South Carolina Yesterday - More

Plattsburg, n. Y, Aug. 15.-Mrs. Guy
V. Henry. wife of the former governor
general of Porto Rico, has been del
uged with kilograms from prominent
women, women's aid societies, etc, in
all parts of the United States, asking
her just what articles of wearing ap-
parel are most needed by the women
of Porto Rico. Mrs. Henry asks the
Associated Press to say to these in
quireTs:
The garments needed by the women
and children of Porto Rico are
straight sack and petticoat and one I'M
der garment. The same pattern for
both women and children, except for
children under eight years: for them
yoke and straight skirt. Use your own
judgment as to difference in size. Cali
Goes, ginghams, percales and white cot
ton muslin are suitable for the sack
chemise.
The garments are simple and of
such moderate priced material that all
loyal women can respond. \ few
mornings of sewing with sympathetic
hearts and busy hands will soon fill
many boxes and bear a message of low
ing care To these dear little people of
ours so terribly afflicted.

Outbreaks are feared, particularly in

have gone over to the insurrection.
Many of the wealthy inhabitants are
preparing TO leave the island. Senores
Lorente and Melliza, supreme court
justices from Negros and Cebu, have
gone thither from Manila TO use their
influence against the instruction.
The results of the autonomist gov

Insurgent bands are operating there as
they did in Cuba, destroying much
plantation property, claims for which
are being presented to General Otis.
The bombardment of Paete, on the
east side of Laguna de Bay, by the

that the town had been reoccupied by

MERCIER's TESTIMONY.
Berlin Papers Ridicule 1t and Speak
of His Weakness.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says: The Tage-
blatt, in commenting on the appearance
OF General MERCER at the Rennes court
martial. says:
No one, not even the most optirais-
tic of the Dreyfusards. expected that
MERCER would so break down and
bring forward nothing. absolutely moth
ing. The extraordinary confidence with
which he announced his coup detat
and promised to tell everything had
prepared the public mind for some
new invention. some new maneuver
which it would be difficult to meet In
stead of this. what do we find? A long
tedious kind of lecture from MERCER.
which only repeats the arguments of
tie lecturers cleVerer than himself, a
few phrases about Germany's threat of
war, about the kaiser. who busies him

This new sauce was expected TO rem
der the old cuisine more palatable
Nothing but the most arrogant, exag-
gerated estimate of himself can ex-
plain Merciers attitude He thought
he had only to address the Judges TO
win his case. The long faces of his
friends and the open jubilation of his
adEersaries have probably convinced
him how he can deceive himself. He has
fallen from greatness and can congrat-
ulate E>mself. if. as is little probable
he escapes the high court of justice.
The Jesuitical fashion, in which,
when forced to do so, he admitted the
communication of secret documents.
viii hardly save him. The Dreyfus
syndicate shares must have risen 100

The kHene Journal says: who ever
followed Mercier's story would have the
impression that in 1894 he must have
given his auditor a good idea of the
real value of his testimony. The mans
brain seems TO be out OF order as was
plainly the opinion Of the former presi-
dent. Not even the bulky portfolio he
brought with him. nor the attempted
pathos OF his peroration, could save
him"
The Vossische Zeitung says: How
could French war minister, after the
ciiance with Russia. get into such a
state Of terror at the idea of war with
Germany as to forget all law and jus
tice? We see with stupefaction that
the French general shows himself just

Leffoi, the ambassador in st. Peters

FIVE MORE REGIMENTS.
Secretary Root Decides to Send Addi-
tional Troops to Philippines.

Washington, Aug 15.-Secretary Root
gave his attention largely to army mat
tiers today He had long consultations
with Adjutant General Corbin relative
to the army, its strength, equipment
and supplies, these being considered in
connection with the statements that
have been furnished by the heads of this
different bureaus. The question of en-
listing and the selection of officers of
the additional volunteer regiments also
was under consideration, but it was
stated that no decision to call for more
troops was reached.
While it is said that five regiments
will be organized, the number has no,
been definitely determined upon.
Neither is it settled whether all shall
be infantry regiments. 1t has been
suggested that another cavalry regi-
ment or two may be of great advan-
tage in the Philippines. The only OBJ
lection TO organizing two cavalry reg
iments is said to be the great difficulty
and cost of transporting horses to the
Philippines.
The recruiting now going on will
continue. The new regiments may be
organized at some other points than
where the first ten have been stationed,
as several localities are anxious to have
them.
Political influence and personal or
social pull will cut no figure in the dis
tribution of the commissions in these
new regiments. Secretary Root made
that point Enthusiastically clear to Sena-
tor Clay of Georgia when the latter
called at the war department to urge
the appointment of several young
Georgians, who are ambitious to enter
the army as commissioned officers.
I'VE have heretofore had so much
trouble over civilian appointments"
said Secretary Root, that we propose
to make the new appointments without
the aid Of political or personal infiu-
ence -

THE FATEs AGAINST DREYFUs
Loss of Labori at This Time Calar-
ity to the Prisoner.

London. Aug. 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times at Rennes. who comments
upon the ..prodigious drama being en-
acted" and the loss to the Dreyfus
case through the disablement of La
bori, says:
There is a terribly suggestive time
illness in the crime. If the fates had
been combining against Dreyfus, they
could not have armed d more efficient
agent of their design than the I'M
known man who shot Labor just as he
was about to riddle with sarcasm and
shatter with invective, irony and scorn,
the last arguments of the public ac-
cuser Mercier.
Tt was a master stroke. The one in
dispensable man was thrown hors du
combat just at the moment when most
was expected of him. l do not eXagger-
ate the general impression when l af-
firm that with Labor absent the bot
tom seems to have dropped out of the
defense. The examination of MERCER
by NJ. Demange was one of the weak
est exhibitions of forensic ingenuity
and presence of mind which it is posi-
BILE to conceive. MERCER. BillOt and
Cavaignac with the others, held the
floor just as their predecessors in the
trial of 1894, while the prisoner was left
almost without defense.
Doubtless VI. Demange is a great
lawyer. and he may we'll have been
upset by the terrible event, but his for
NAL and antiquated methods stood him
in sad stead today. and it was today
that was most dreaded by all the adj
VerSaries of Dreyfus.
Then TO cap all, MERCER called upon
Nine. Labor to proffer his sympathy.
1t must be remembered that Labor had
