A TALE OF TORTURE.
There Were Few Dry Eyes In the Audience
During the Recital of Dreyfus' Suf-
ferings in Prison.

RENNEs, Aug. 17.-During Tuesday
mornings session of the Dreyfus court
martial most of the time was occupied
oy NJ. Lebon, minister of the colonies
for the greater part of the time that
Dreyfus was on the Isle du Diable
Lebon has been accused of being re-
sponsible for the torture to which the
ori soner was subjected.
NJ. Lebon testified that there was no
needless severity shown. He was
obliged. he said, to resort to extraor-
binary measures because of the danger
Of the prisoner being rescued.
Lebon's testimony ended in a string
If excuses and lame apologies to Drey-
fus. When he had concluded the pris-
oner was asked if he wished to ques-
ton the witness.
No" replied Dreyfus, Il have moth
.ng to- say to the man who for five
years helped to make my sufferings
Agonizing and barbarous. l am not
lere to complain, but to defend nv
honOr."
The recorder of the court then read
from the detailed government reports
Of the prisoner while on Devils Island.
He. quoted heart-rendering appeals and
complaints made by Dreyfus because
ne received no letters from his wife or
word of his children.
Women in the audience wept as the
recorder read, and when he concluded
there were few dry eyes in the court.
Dreyfus listened with drawn face. Le-
bon's face was a study in uneasiness
as the recorder read.

GUNBOAT NEWPORT.
Another Very Satisfactory Trial OF the YES
sci Made-She Makes Slightly Over
Eight Knots Hour.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Another very
satisfactory trial of the gun boat New
port has been made. After the New
port had been year and a half in
commission and seven months out of
dry dock, in a run of 156 hours she
made slightly over eight knots an hour
with coal consumption slightly
over IL tons per day. AS her bunkers
hold 232 tons of coal this indicates a
steaming radius of 10 days, or 3,722
knots. The Newport, like the other
gunboats of her class is copper bot
toned, and her efficiency is not i'm
paired by remaining long in the water.
This test of the Viewpoints capacity
conforms very closely to the results
obtained in other ships of her type,
which include 3he Vicksburg, Annapo-
lis, Marietta, Princeton and Wheeling.

4" What hat?'
A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.
They Were Satisfied the Thing Gould
Be Done, But by Some
One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev. Joseph
Fl. Twitchell, once planned a bicycle ride
from Hartford, Conn. their home), to
Boston, and wrote beforehand to an &C.
quaintance in the latter city, telling him
their line of route and what time he might
expect to see them arrive. The appointed
time was an ideal one for long run, and
the two friends started quite early in the
morning. But neither of them was accus-
toned to long rides, so after II or Is miles
had been ridden, it became apparent that
each of the riders was waiting for the 9TH
er to say something. Finally Twain said, as
they came in sight of the railway station in
small town they had entered: Let's take
the train the rest of the way"
OF course Mr. Twitchell agreed, and so
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up to his
door about one o'clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening, but he
greeted them warmly, and addressing Mr..
Twitchell, said: ''Well, you made ptItty
good time, didn't you?"
'Oh, fairly good time for novices," Mas
the reply.
'What time did you leave Hartford?' he
asked of Mr.. Clemens.
about seven a. m"
"What, you don't mean to say that you
have ridden all the way from Hartford to
Boston on your bicyclesl"
NO" replied Mark Twain, "but we rode
far enough to demonstrate that it could be
done. Detroit Free Press.

WHITECAPPING.
Gov. McSweeney Asked to Assist in
Suppressing 1t.
Negro Houses Were Visited by White Caps
and the Inmates Taken Out and
Whipped-Many of Them Are
In q state of Terror.

GREENWOOD, S. c., Aug. 16.-The
sheriff of this county Tuesday appeal.
ed to Gov. insolvency for aid to assist
him in suppressing whitecap outrages
which began here week age. Tues
day night the governor sent word that
he would be in Greenwood Wednesday
with Attorney General Bellinger to
N AXE personal investigation of the
situation.
For more than week a gang of SO
called whitecaps have been whipping
Negroes in this county nearly every
night. The section between Green
wood and Phoenix is largely tenanted
by Negroes who rent from white land
lords. 1t was at Phoenix, in this coun-
ty thickly settled by Negroes, that the
election riot between blacks and
whites took place last November.
Since then among lower classes OF
whites there has been an unrelenting
disposition to drive out the Negroes.
Certain white men here, it is said, de-
sire to get control of the valuable
lands thereabout, and in order to do sc
they have set about to drive out the
Negroes.
Monday night one week ago the
whipping began. Negro houses were
visited and the inmates taken out and
beaten. Several nights last week this
performance was repeated, and a wide
territory has been covered in this man
ner by the whitecappers. The
Negroes are said to be in a state
of terror, and many spend the
nights in the woods and swamps, while
others seek the protection OF theil
white landlords. On Saturday night
200 Negroes spent the night in Green
wood. and many of them have never
returned to their homes. So far a:
known none have left the county. The
better class of whites deplore the state
of affairs.
The Negroes are afraid to give infor
nation. and certain white men have
been threatened if they take actor
against the white capper. Senator
Tillman and Congressman Lattimer
of this district, are both here attend
ing the wheat growers convention
and it is believed they will assist tn,
| governor IN his investigation of tn,
matter.

TRANSVAAL SITUATION.
Question of Neutrality and Care of Our In.
terests in That Locality Not Yet
Taken Up by Our Government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-The situa-
ton in the Transvaal is regarded by
officials here as critical. Thus far how
ever, the state department has not re-
ceived a word from any source con-
corning the strained condition of af.
fairs apd there is no disposition to take
up such questions of neutrality and
the care of our interests in that local
ity unless the war issue is act ually
framed. Charles Macrum is the United
STATES consul stationed at Pretoria.
He has sent a number of reports deal.
ing with commercial affairs, but has
not touched on the delicate political
conditions existing.
The United States also has a consu.
lar agent, j. II. Manlon, at Johannes.
burg, but he has not been heard from
since he was appointed. There have
been recent press reports from Johan,
nesburg that a colored blacksmith,
claiming to be an American, had been
roughly handled by the field comets
and that he had raised the question o1
his American citizenship, and had APP.
pealed to the American representa-,
tive. The state department has been
expecting to hear from Mr.. Manlon on
this case, but nothing has come.
Adm. Hoison's return will proba bly,
shed much light on the condition of
affairs in the Boer country, and the ex,
tent of American interests, for while
the Chicago was in South African
waters the admiral spent much time al
Pretoria and johannesburg. The ad.
miral has as yet made no report of his
movements.

JOHN R. GENTRY WON.
The Little Bay Stallion is Still King of the
Light Harness Racers-Time 1908 1-2;
2:O4 1-4-Searchlight Third

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE lit
tie bay stallion John r. Gentry is still
king of the light harness racers. At
the Rochester Driving park, Wednes-
day afternoon, the three greatest pac-
ing stations of the American turf,
John R. Gentry, 2:OO19; Joe Patchen,
2:0l 4, and Searchlight, 2:O41a, waged
a battle royal for the supremacy. The
attendance was 5000. The track was
very fast, and, although there was a
slight breeze down the home stretch,
it did not seem to hold the racers as
they turned into the stretch and head
ed for the wire.
The first heat was the best of the
race. The owner of Patchen, W. s.
Haws, at the last moment decided to
drive in place of Dickerson. The scOr-
ing was prompt and at the fourth at
tempt the horses started to pace the
race of their lives.
At the quarter Gentry was length
and half behind, while Patchen and
Searchlight were on even terms. The
leaders held the same position when
the half mile pole was reached and
Gentry had dropped back another
length and half. All three were
driving at the three quarters,
but it was not until the stretch
was entered that the mass OF
cheering and wildly excited spectators
saw coming out of a cloud of dust in
the rear of the leaders, who were pac-
ing like a team, flash of hoofs and
the steel gray cap and coat of Billy An
drews, who, with a mastery hand,
guided his magnificent charge to the
outside of the track and shot to the
front like a meteor. Faster and faster,
with every fraction of Sec
cnd seemingly gaining greater
speed as they came on toward the
wire, moved the flying sulkies until
the gap was closed. A hundred yards
from the wire Patchen went in the
air and Searchlights driver began to
use the whip. Andrews drove stead
lily, leaning far forward as if to help
his horse, and the little stallion, with
a mighty rush, passed under the wire
a neck and trifie more to the good.
In the second and deciding heat
Searchlight acted badly few lengths
after the start and broke often, the
race narrowing down to Gentry and
Patchen. 1t was close battle the
whole distance till the stretch wa.
reached. Then Gentry forged ahead
with comparative ease and won by
nearly a length and a half. Time
2:O315: 2:O414.
After the race was over, w. H. Har,
-ison, officiating, announced that he
was ready to match Searchlight
against Gentry for $1,000. the race tc
take place at any time within the
present week.
