The contractors estimate their loss at
$4,000. The other loss is scattered among
individual property owners in the VlcIn-

was lynched here at 1880 o'clock to-
night for having attempted an assault
on Lillian Clarke, the S-year-old daugh-.

which gathered around the jail at about
IL O'Clock, obtaining possession of the
prisoner, but were unsuccessful.
The door was broken in and during
the scuffie which ensued Chief of Police
Webster was hurt The prisoner was
found in the cellar of the building and

he was released. He had gone but
short distance. however, when the mob

place of hanging, his clothes being cut
almost to shreds.

CHINA WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE REBELS
Not in Position to Set Herself
Against the United
States

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The State
Department is entirely without in
formation as to the address by Aguin-
aldo to foreign powers for the recogni-
ton of the Filipinos, either as belliger-
ents or as constituting an independent
government. The appeal is looked
upon. however. as creating no particu
lar change, as il has been the desire
Of Aguinaldo and associate from the
first to secure such recognition. The
appeal puts this desire into rather
formal shape. and ii may bring to- an
issue the position of outside govern
ments. There is no idea here that any
foreign government will heed the adj
dress The international usage as to
recognition was quite fully developed
during the Cuban instruction, at
which time the question was eXhaus~
lively discussed in Congress and was
the subject of lengthy consideration in
the messages of the President. The
general view at that time was that
recognition Of belligerency was not in
itself casus belli. Up 10 the present
time there has been no intimation 20

whether he and MERCER contradict each
other.
There seems danger that all evidence
relating to foreign diplomatists will be
given with closed doors. The public trial
will be resumed on Saturday.
Dreyfus, a member of his family tells
me, has not yet got over his Rip Van
Wrinkle feeling. He was lost. as he put
it. He remarked to his wife that he was
astonished to find himself watched by
the whole world or its proxies, though
he showed no sign of establishment. He
was thrown in a heap by the searching
and, as he thought. unfriendly examina-
ton by the president of the court-mar
tial. He had expected more formal pro-
ceedings.
MN Demange and Laborie did not pre-
pare him for a hostile tribunal and a scru-
tinizing public. He felt as if X-rays were
being cast on him all the time he was
under public gaze. 1t was as if the inner
most thoughts of his heart were being
peered into. He imagined the proceedings
would be only formal and that perhaps he
might leave the courthouse to walk to his
wife's temporary home His counsel was
quite right not to discourage him before
hand, as his strength is low and he is
condemned to diet of milk and eggs,
which does not enable him rapidly to re-
cover his lost strength. full diet just
now could not fail to bring on Brights
disease.
He was at first greatly depressed to
learn that he would be confronted with
a crowd of hostile witnesses and that the
trial might last a fortnight or three
weeks, or even longer. Then, steeling
himself, he cried:
You must prove yourSelf man, prey
fus You must struggle for your honor
and not give in until you have cleared 1t,
once and forever. But what have you
done, Dreyfus, to make people to thus
rend you? Were you born under a malig
nant star? If so, fight against fate and
wrestle until you have thrown the evil
angel"

DIES MONIES, Aug, S.-A joint debate
between Governor NJ. L. Shaw and Gen
eral j. b. Weaver on the Philippine ques-
ton was the feature of the Epworth
League assembly at ColfaX to-day. The
debate attracted an audience of several
thousand persons from the surrounding
country. Both speakers are finished ora

points.
General Weaver attacked, in the main
ippfnes claiming it was in conflict with
the constitution the Declaration of In

laws of nations and the holy precepts OF

Governor Shaw upheld the Republican
administration in every respect. declaring
