ATToU ISLANDERS DESTITUTE.
Revenue Cutter Grant Finds Them In
Straitened Cfrcumstances-Muc
Sickness Prevails,

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 13.-A private
letter from Captain Slamm, of the revenue
cutter Grant, now with the sealing patrol
in Bering sea, states that the inhabitants
of Attou island were found by him in
straitened circumstances, but in no i'm
mediate danger of starvation. The inhab-
itants, numbering seyenty-three, twenty
three men and nifty women and children,
were in pitiable condition. Many of the
children were partially naked and their
dependent for bodily warmth upon the
common practice of budding, five or six
together, in their "barabasos'' or native
huts.
The only fuel on the island is scant
supply of driftwood. The crew of the
Grant gave the people all their spare
clothing. The people were also suffering
sickness and for a while the physician of
the Grant was kept busy dispensing med
icines. The Grant furnished the inhab-
ply of fish, roots and berries.
Attou island has in time past been IA
nous as source of blue fox skins and
fortunes have been made in the traffic, but
the traders and not the natives, have made
the money. The foxes have all been killed
on, and the population is diminishing year
by year. The remainder are, strange to
say. quite content with their lot, never hav-
ing known anything better and cling fcndly
to the blank frozen island, which hardly
AFFORDS them means of sustenance, and
Whch is often the scene of furious earth
Quakes and landslides
While cruising in Bering sea the Grant
had two objects in view-a search for any
possible survivors of the lost steamer Pei
lean. and the study of ocean currents in
Bering sea and vicinity, for which pur-
pose bottles were thrown overheard con-
tanning instructions to the finders to for
ward them to Washington.
Ten sealing vessels were on the ground
when Captain Slamm wrote, and the ar
rival OF about ten more was expected.

MERCIER's CLOSE CALL.
Had He Talked Too Freely Dreyfus
Would Have Slapped His
Face.

RENNES, Aug. 13-To-morrow's session
Oh the Dreyfus court-martial Is awaited
with the greatest anxiety and expectation
In view of the conformation of Mercier by
Casimir-Perier, when the former will vir-
tually be in the prisoners dock. A dramat-
ic scene is inevitable.
II Is understood that even a more thrill
ing incident than that which ended yester-
days session was expected by the coun-
sci OF Dreyfus and would have occurred
put Tor General Mercier'S prudence. Drey-
fus intended and had actually declared his
denomination to slap Mercier's face before
tne whole court, II he brought up the story
OF the relations of Dreyfus with Nine. 3.
wnom some newspapers have asserted, act
ed as go-between for Dreyfus and the
attache to whom he is alleged to have
made reasonable revelations
Mercier abstained from all reference to
the story, but despite this, the people in
the court thought for moment that Drey-
fus was about to strike Mercier, until
captain Of gendarmes took him gently by
the arm and pushed him back into his seat
Inc Petit Journal and some other papers,
including those published here, accused the
foreign press men present in the court of
being the authors of the demonstration
against MerCier when he left the court
prompted by the obvious desire Of the anti
revisionists to exclude foreign newspaper
French matter. 1t was even stated that
measures would be taken against the for
eign correspondents.
About sixty of the latter met this even
ing to protest against the charge. During
the course of the proceedings Nine. Sever
inc, the famous woman journalist, came on
behalf of a committee of the French judi
ciary press, which had just held a meeting
on the subject and communicated the fact
that no measures against the foreign press
would be taken or were contemplated and
that, should the press be excluded from the
courtroom, French newspaper men would
be treated exactly the same as foreigners.
The meeting thereupon decided to treat the
attacks of a certain section Of the French
press with silent contempt.
