Minneapolis, Mimi, July 29.-A spe-
cial from Negaunee, Mich, says: The
Riverside and Magnetic mines. the first
named having been shut down six
years ago, while the other was closed
a great time ago, are to be opened at
once and worked vigorously. Both are
located near Republic. The Kloman
mine, near Republic, another veteran
producer idle for twenty-five years, is
likely to resume work at once. 1t Ia
probable the Republic mine, one OF the
oldest and richest, will soon change
hands at a consideration OF $4,000, 00J.
which is four times the rate at which
stock in the mine was selling less than
five years ago.

A BIG BOYCOTT
The street Railway >trike Resolved
Into a Boycott Of th. sleveiA nd street
Car Company and Of All Who Patron
fZe ft

Cleveland, Ohio, July 29.-Now that
order has been practically restored
within the city, the street railroad
strike has resolved itself into a gen.
eral boycott of the Big Consolidated
Company and everybody who rides
upon it's cars. Apparently the strikers
have the sympathy and active Coop
Grafton Of all the labor organizations in
the city, and not only are merchants
being punished for riding on the ta
booed cars, but they are warned
against selling goods to other people
who do ride, on threat Of losing the
trade of union men. Instances are
given in which druggists have refused
to sell medicine to people who were
accused Of patronizing the Big Con-
solidated, and physicians have been
boycotted for riding on the cars while
going to see their patients.
The boycott of the troops has aroused
the ire of Adjutant General Axline,
who declares that there is state law
to punish people who interfere with
the militia. There is one section of
the statutes which provides a maxi
mum penalty Of $1,000 fine and six
months Imprisonment for every person
who tries to persuade or discourage a
member Of the national guard from re-
spending to a call of riot duty.
General Axline says the boycott and
the threat fcertain employers to put
on the blacklist those employees who
turned out with the militia are cover
ed by this law and he threatens to in
stitute prosecutions against dealers if
the boycott is continued. He says also
that actions may be begun under the
civil rights law and he sent several
soldiers to a restaurant today for din
ner with the express purpose of be-
ginning such action against the pro-
prietor if he refused to serve them.

Seattle. Wash, July 29.-The Times
prints what purports to be full list
of fatalities in the American army in
the Philippines up to June 1st. The list
was furnished by Fred. F. Eitell, rep
.sentatives of The Manila Freedom, who
claims to have obtained it from the
records OF the surgeon generals office
at Manila.
The total of fatalities is 1873 Off
GERS, 699 privates and IA civilians at
tached to the army. A remarkable fea-
ture of the record is found in the state
ment that the number of officers killed
in battle is out of all proportion to the
number Of privates killed. On the
other hand, fewer officers died from
disease proportionately than priVates
Out Of the 90 officers dead, 16 were KILL
ed in action, were drowned and died
of disease. Of the 699 priXates 294
died of wounds received in action, y
were killed accidentally, % were
drowned and 7 committed suicide. One
hundred and six died of typhoid fever,
SO of smallpox, AZ of dysentery, 2S OF
pneumonia, 19 of malarial fever and IA
of meningitis. The remainder died from
various diseases. OF the IA deaths
among civilians, were from smallpox
and from gunshot wounds received in
action.

Natchez, Miss, July 29.-In it's lead

their ginnings until after December or

O,DOuneil
New York July 29.-Steve ODonnell,
the heavyweight pugilist and boxing
instructor at Harvard university, scor-
ed his first Knockout this afternoon,
when he put Beech Reuble, of Ohio,
out in the eighth round with a hook
on the chin, in the Westchester Ath-
Ietic Club arena at Tuckahoe, N. Z.
About 1000 spectators were present
and Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll was ref
cree. The men were scheduled to fight
twenty-five rounds at catch weights.
Reuble weighed 10 pounds and was
suffering from fright, while O'Dornell
was thirty pounds heavier.
O'Donnell had great advantage in
height and reach. He fought all around
his man, and had him in groggy condi-
tion for three rounds prior to the knock
out and yet he had all he could do to
finish Reuble.
In the opening round Reuble showed
to good advantage and raised a SWELL
ing over O'DonnelPs eye. O'Donnell re-
turned this with interest in the next
round and in the third honors were
easy. In the fourth round both men
were doing good work., but after this
O'Donnell outfought the westerner. He
knocked Reuble down time after time,
but the latter came back as long as
he was able. Soon after the opening
| of the eighth O'Donnell sent Reuble to
| the boards with his left and again with
| his right The last tine Reuble was
unable to arise and was counted out.

scull race between young Edward Ten
eyck, Joseph Mcguire and Joseph
Whitehead, which servel to attract
over 10000 people to the banks Of the

of Mcguire and nine ahead of White
head.
The two eight cared events, the sem
ior, which was won by the Pennsylva-

while the intermediate doubles and the

uments" In the Dreyfus case, was forged
by Major Walsh Esterhazy for the
purpose of diverting suspicious from
himself. Esterhazy has confessed the
forgery, but he was not alone in the
plot. Colonel Henry, who recently
committed suicide, also fabricated doc
uments, and Colonel Du Patty de Clam,
now under arrest, was a leading spirit in
the conspiracy. 1t is said that Generals
Boisdeffre, Gong and lie Pellieux, as
well as MERCER, who was minister of
war when the plot against Dreyfus was
conceived, are likely to taken into
custody.
Credit for the demonstration of
Dreyfus's innocence belongs chiefly to
Colonel Picquart, at one time chief in
the intelligence department, who from
an inspection of the bordereau identi-
fled it as the work of Esterhazy. and
to Emile lola, who, in the Aurore, eX-
posed the plot and denounced the con-
spirators. Picquart's charges led to
the court-martial of Esterhazy, who was
acquitted. For their interest in an
innocent man, who had been made the
victim of a monstrous outrage, Pic
quart and lola were both arrested, and
lola was twice condemned. Although
Esterhazy has confessed to his part in
the crime it is said that having been
once acquitted he cannot again be tried.
In their malignant efforts to convict
Dreyfus his enemies refused him fair
trial. In this they over reached them
selves, as sympathy was attracted to
the prisoner when it became apparent
that he had been condemned on false
evidence secretly furnished to the
court and not submitted to his counsel.
Even some of those who favored a
retrial were not Satisfied that the skirts
of Dreyfus were entirely clear. They
feared that he might have been guilty
of some reasonable act, although they
were convinced that most of the evil
dence employed to convict him was
fabricated. From the action of the
court of cessation, and particularly
from the detailed decision of the court,
it is apparent that no genuine evidence
whatever as to Dreyfus's culpability
has been produced. Judging from the
facts as they have been so far laid bare,
Dreyfus is patriotic Frenchman who
has been made the victim of one of the
foulest intrigues ever planned against a
worthy soldier.
1t is creditable to France that in the
case of Dreyfus Justice, though long
delayed is about to triumph. This is
especially gratifying, inasmuch as
prejudice against the Jews was skill.
fully employed by the plotters to blind
the nation to Dreyfus's innocence. Pas.
sion and prejudice have subsidized and
scarcely ripple veXes the calm sur
face of French politics as the maligned
officer is being restored to his rights
