Dreytus Swears He viii Spend Life
Fighting for His Good Name.
Paris, Sept 20.-The Auerore will to-
morrow publish the following 1.-THE
government of the republic has given
me my liberty, but liberty is nothing to
me without honor From today I shall
continue to seek reparation for the
frightful judicial error of which I am
the victim. My heart will only be at
rest when there is not a single French
man who reputes to me an abominable
crime perpetrated by another
(Slgned) Albert Dreyfus.
Menard, clerk of the court of cassa-
ton has been dismissed after 81 years
of service for giving NJ Quesnay De
Beaurepaire, former chief of the civil
section of that court in formation hurt
full to Dreyfus, which fact transpired
during the revision inquiry. Maj. Hart
mann of the artillery, who gave testi-
mony favorable to Dreyfus at Rennes
court-martial, has been promoted to be
assistant manager of the army gun
factory at Puteaux.
Pardoning Dreyfus does not drop the
curtain on the drama. The Dreyfus-
ards are determined to pursue the cam
paign against the generals and other
officers of the general staff who have
lied and committed gross illegalities in
order to keep the prison door closed on
the victim.

RACE IN THE RAIN.
Jim Ten Eyck Wins
His Match With
Brennan.

Halifax, N, s.. Sept 2O.-The single
scull race between James A. Ten Eyck
Of Worcester Mass, and John Brennan
of Halifax for 5000 a side was rowed this
afternoon on Bedford basin in heavy
wind and rain storm. Ten Eyck won
by a length. Time, 2317.
The slow time was caused by the
water being very rough. The men got
away together and rowed abreast for
quarter of a mile. Brennan rowed 81
ard Ten Eyck 81 strokes to the minute
At the half-mile Ten Eyck was leading
the Haligonian by a half-length. The
American maintained the lead to the
turning buoy, and. getting round quick
er than his opponent, he had gain of
four lengths when Brennan squared for
home. Ten Eyol kept this lead till
three=quarters of a mile from the fin
ish, where the water was comparatively
calm. Brennan then began to gain,
and, rowing very fast, cut down Ten
Eyck's lead to one boat length When
the finish line was reached.
When the men were called to the line
at the start the Halifax man objected
to the water. The referee overruled the
objection and ordered the start. Ten
Eyck claimed the right to turn any
buoy. but the referee decided against
him, and ordered each man to turn ms
own buoy. Ten Eyck will row again
on Saturday with Lynch, the Nova
Scotian champion.

Shamrock Sails.
New York, Sept 2O.-Rear- Admiral
Sampson and Capt. Chadwick, U. S. S.
New York, were the guests of Sir
Thomas Upton on board the steam
yacht Erin today From her bridge
they witnessed the trial spin of the
Shamrock. Upon his return to the flag
ship the rear admiral expressed pleas
ure at the Shamrock's appearance, and
said he thought her sails set well. He
made no comparison between that
yacht and the Columbia, nor did be
venture any opinion about the sailing
qualities of the yacht.
AL the forenoon was spent by the
Shamrock's crew bending a new main
sail on cloth, running from her head to
foot IN regular way The Erin steamed
up to Tompkinsville, where the New
York was lying, and returned with the
admiral at p. m. to the Horseshoe.
The Shamrock's mainsail was hoisted
and she started from her mornings at
24O. under her own sail in a light air.
In Gedney's channel, at p. M, she
took line from her tender, the Law
renee, and was towed out clear of the
east end of the channel, where her
great clubtopsail was set, and she was
hCd&1Su lOF ocOlldilQ IlSnlSnlp.
Five miles was the extent of the
Shamrock's sail today. The starting
time, 4.12, was taken when she passed
Scotland lightship, going at an 11--knot
clip, and with sheets trimmed well on
the starboard tack She finished
at about the same speed al

NO LINEUP.
Yale Candidates Taught Only in
Rudiments of the Game.

YaS candidates Taught Only in
Rudiments of the Game.
New Haven, Conn, Sept. 2o.-The
Yale foot ball candidates held their
first practice on Yale field this after
noon. The men, to the number of 81.
were put through a half hour of light
practice, but there was no line up
Capt. Mcbride and Trainer Jim Robin
son were in charge. None of the coach
ers who have signified their intention
of being on hand this week have vet
arrived.
Captain Mcbride took charge of the
halfbackS and the candidates for quar-
ter and fullback. Trainer Robinson
took the remainder of the men for prac-
tice, first with the dummy tackling an
paratus, and later for work with the
pigskin, to permit the men to accustom
themselves to handling the elusive ball
Mcconnell, who is the leading candi-
date for center, because of his expert
ence as substitute center, was given the
ball by Capt. Mcbride. Winter was put
into position as quarter, and Sharpe
Dupee and Shattuck in succession We're
given practice in kicking the ball from
the passes from the quarter. Half a
dozen were sent down the field to tackle
and block.
The manner in which Trainer Robin
son taught the heavy line candidates to.
tackle the dummy was a revelation to-
the spectators. Cunha, the big Hawaii
an, who played center on last years
freshman eleven, took to the work like
an experienced player. He weighs 225
pounds, but was spry as man of half
his weight. He showed up very favor
ably in comparison to the other men
and convinced those who saw him that
if he can keep his weight down he will
make a strong bid for center or guard.
by no means despairs of finding him a
valuable man by the time the season is
under way.

Congressman John r. Thayer, dele
gate-at-large to the democratic state
convention which is to be called to or
der in Mechanics hail. Boston, today,
will be conspicuous by his absence He
is too busy, he says to attend. 1t is an
open secret that the congressman does
not approve of the decision to have the
delegates to the national convention
chosen by the state convention instead
of by the people as heretofore. The con-
gfessman's course was considerably
criticised yesterday.
James H. Mellen, John e. Sullivan,

members of the democratic state COM
mittee, and John H. Meagher, chair
man of the democratic city committee,
Representative Mclaughlin, member of
the committee on resolutions, together
with number of other delegates, went
to Boston yesterday. The state commit
tee and the committee on resolutions
had important meetings at the Parker
house last night, preparing the slate.
Michael L. Russell made statement
to The Spy man last plight which sets
at rest all stories which have been
afloat about his proposed race for the
legislature from ward A. For several
days all kinds of yarns have been cir
culated to the effect that he would get
into the fight at the polls this year.
Yesterday he read that he had got out
nomination papers. Last night Mr..
Russell said: Il have not for moment
thought of getting into the representa-
tive fight I am out of it, you can rest
assured. The stories told about me are
ali wrong"
The story about Mr.. Russell's candi-
daey gained considerable momentum as
it travelled. 1t was Mellen rumor. Mr..
Russell Is for Skerrett.
The political meeting which was call
ed for last night by the Hebrew voters
of the city did not take place owing to
a meeting which was going on in Sons
of Abraham synagogue. The meeting
will be Sunday afternoon after the mass
meeting. 1t was proposed at last nights
