Colonel Bryan's Military Lockiaw

Colonel Bryans anxiety 10 leave the service of
the United States Army because he could
not make political speeches from the stump. He
is at present trying to gain favor so that he may
be taken up again by his party as a Presidential
candidate in 1900. Since leaving the army Mr..
Bryan has lost no opportunity TO make himself
heard, and it is said that he could not endure
the military lockjaw. If the politicians in the
army drink Heuricf's beer there would be no
military lockjsw, because the qualities of Heu-
richs beer would afford ample subject To talk
about. Heurichs is very often the leading sub
ject of a very interesting conversation. and is
also the leading beer which gives pleasure to all
WashingtonaBs. 1t is sold by all leading hotels
and restaurants, and also by the Arlington Bot

The party of five left the ranch to

waist deep, and they were assisted to a

O'Connor assisting from below. O'Con-

San Rafaels Municipal Election

EXCITING

SAN RAFAEL, April 9.-The municipal
election to be held tomorrow will doubt
less develop a heated contest on account
OF the large number of candidates for
the various offices and the questions at
issue. The Socialist Labor party has

over the water question, but it is not be-
heved this will cut material figure with
the result of the balloting.

ANACONDA. Mont, April 9.-Spe-
cials to the Standard from various
parts of Montana show that the recent
chinook has made raging torrents Of
most of the rivers, in many cases break
ing all records. The Yellowstone has
caused the greatest loss of life and
property. Ice jams have backed the
water up at Glendive and Miles City,
where the greatest damage has been
done
At Miles City the ice jammed at the
mouth of Tongue River, forcing the
water back until the entire south side
of the city was under water. Seventy
five houses had to be abandoned, the
people having to be rescued in boats,
so quick had been the rise of the water.
Later in the afternoon the water broke
over the track into Main street, which
ran a torrent.
Dynamite has been used and it is
supposed the wash is over. The loss
cannot yet be estimated.
Washouts are reported all along the
Northern Pacific and passenger trains
are stalled all along the line, but the
details are slow in coming in.

ENDS HIS LIFE IN
AN OMAHA HOTEL
Suicide of a Man Who Registered as
A. J. Smith of Salt
Lake

OMAHA. Nebr., April 9.-A. J. Smith,
registering at the Millard Hotel from
Salt Lake City committed suicide in his
room this morning. The man was dis
covered at $50 o'clock by chambermaid,
who saw Smith lying on the bed, dressed.
At his side, on a chair was a small bot
tie of chloroform and a package of cya-
nide of potassium, part Of the contents
having been used.
On a small table in the room were three
letters-one to the hotel proprietor, in
closing money to pay his bill and con-
tanning instructions for the disposition
of his body and e--ects. The second was
directed to the Omaha Medical College,
bequeathing his body to that institution
The third letter was a brief one to the
chambermaid of the hotel, inclosing a
tip of 81 for taking care of his room

PROSPECTS BETTER FOR
WAR THAN PEACE
Diplomats Say That the Czar Is Pre-
pairing For the Crash That
Seems Inevitable.

NEW YORK, April "a special to the
Sun from Washington says: The forth
coming conference at The Hague over the
Cars proposal TO suspend further mill
tary armament of the nations is topic
of frequent discussion among members of
the diplomatic corps at Washington. The
general opinion is that nothing definite
will come of the conference. One prominent
diplomat thinks the time is most inoppor-
tune, believing the prospects are much
better for general war than for uni
versal peace.
Each days news" he says, makes a
war more probable, and when one does
come it will be a big one. l am unable
to see why the nations should accept in
all seriousness the proposition for peace
from such madman as the Car of Rus
STA is well known to be. Why, even while
making his protestations for peace he is
using every means to increase his war
power, so when the crash that he well
knows is inevitable and which he is try
ing to ward off does come Russia will be
able to hold her own, at least"

PARIS, April 9.-Premier Dupuy, in
the course of an important speech to
his constituents to-day at LIE Puy, said
the situation both at home and abroad
was eminently satisfactory. He referred
approvingly to the recent agreements
with Italy and Great Britain and said
France was nov free for industrial
and commercial development and a
large field of colonizing." Reverting to
home affairs, he said:
1.-The agitations are only on the sur
face. Beneath are calm, industry and
security. The end of the Dreyfus af
fair appears to be in sight and the COM
plication will be unraveled by the
Court of Cessation, whose judgment
will be acknowledged by all.
'The Government, however, attaches
Importance to reiterating its determine
ton to repress all polemics which call
the national army into question. AS
soon as the Court of Cessation has
given judgment the Government will
take the necessary measures to deter
mine responsibilities and will act ac-
cordingly If that should be necessary
but these acts and the punishment of
Individual faults will not affect the
army, which is our hope for the future
and the indispensable guardian OIL the
constitution and the law.
IF certain people think otherwise let
us leave them to their despicable folly
and for ourselves continue to look to-
ward the army, full of gratitude and
confidence"
Continuing its publication of the evi-
dence given before the Court Of Cessation
in the Dreyfus case, the Figaro gives to-
day the dispositions of General Zurlinden,
Military Governor of Paris, and General
Chanoine, formerly War Minister.
General Zurlinden deposed that when he
etnered the Cabinet last autumn he knew
nothing of the Dreyfus affair, but the sui
eide of Lieutenant Colonel Henry pro-
voked him TO study the dossier. which
convinced him that Dreyfus was justly
condemned. Therefore the documents in
the dossier proved, he declared, that the
traitor belonged to the general staff
There was no malice In the designation of
the culprit, and therefore the legend Of
the "entrapped Jew must be set aside
General Zurlinden proceeded to show
by technical details that the particulars
indicated in the bordereau were highly
important to a foreign nation. With ref
erence to the phrase, am going to the
maneuvers,' in the bordereau, he said the
military students were wont to attend the
maneuvers. but on August q. 1894. the day
