that there would not be a fresh degrada-
ton. This ceremony requires breaking
the prisoners sword and tearing off his
epaulets. But Dreyfus never had his
sword restored to him and he only Wore
undress uniform without epaulets, so that
it would be impossible to carry out the
regulations for degradation. This is Col.
Jouaust's view
Those who think Dreyfus will be re-
leased in October because the five years
on Devils island will wipe out the present
sentence, saw In the fact that he was
sentenced for exactly ten years con-
firmation of their view, but they are mis-
taken. He was sentenced to ten years,
not because that happens to be double
his term on Devils island but because,
according to the military code, the record
ing of two votes in his favor fixes the
term of detention at ten years. Had the
verdict been unanimous he must have
been sentenced to twenty years.
Those protesting to have ascertained,
since the verdict, the opinion of the judges
declare that the vote of five to two was
not given by mutual agreement, but be-
cause the two judges voted in his favor
from conviction of innocence.
PLEA FOR REVISION.
The latest procedure is the application
for revision, signed by DreyfuS today. 1t
will be sent to Paris The clerk of the
ccurt-martial must send a complete dos
sier of the trial, including all the docu-
ments submitted. A reporter will be ap-
pointed to examine minutely and ascer-
tain whether there be any flaw in the
proceedings. The result will be submitted
to the court of revision, which will main
tain or annul the sentence.
An interesting fact developed today is
that the police had taken every precau-
tion to get Dreyfus safely out of Rennes
in the event of acquittal, in which case
it was unanimously agreed, there would
have been serious disorder, and proba bly,
an attempt upon his life The police had
arranged to conduct him back to the mil
itary prison after the verdict with the
same precautions as during the trial. He
was to have been given civilian dress
and a false beard, and was to leave the
prison through the small door and thence
through an adjoining building. No one
would have expected him to leave by that
building, and then, thanks to the disguise,
the police hoped he would reach the sta
tior safely, where a special train was
waiting to rush him off before the crowd
could have heard of his leaving the pris-
on.

CALM SUNDAY IN PARIS.
Dreyfus Case Verdict Quietly Re-
cefved by the French Capital.

cetVed by the French Capital.
PARIS, Sept. 10.-The day has been one
of absolute quiet, with no public excite
ment, not even in the Rue de Chabrot.
There was a rainfall this afternoon, and
the streets were practically deserted.
Slight disturbances occurred yesterday
at Marseilles and Belfort when the YER
dict of the Dreyfus court-martial was
published. The demonstrators stoned the
residence of Jacques Dreyfus, brother of
the condemned man, at Belfort, breaking
the windows and otherwise damaging the
structure. Many persons were arrested
in both places.
The premier, M Waldeck- Rousseau,
was visited this morning by most of his
colleagues. The date Of the next cabinet
council has not yet been fixed President
Loubet will probably not return to Ram
bouillet for several days.
Tomorrow Maitre Demange will visit
M. Waldeck-Rousseau and submit num-
Der of legal questions arising out of the
trial.
A semi-off1cial note has been issued de-
nying the assertion of the morning papers
that the minister of foreign affairs, M.
Delcasse, transmitted to Col. Jouaust, the
president of the court-martial, through
M. Paleologue, Friday, a statement by
the Reichsanzeiger repeating the dis
dNOWdlS VI COuul NOll 1hQlSlCl
and Count Won Beulow, of Ger
man relations with Dreyfus. The note
also denies that M Delcasse asked Ger
many to issue the statement.
The revision1st press comments upon
the verdict with deepest Indignation, de-
claring that the battle between the civil
and military courts will continue until
victory rests with the court of cessation.
The Steele has opened a subscription to
erect an eXpiatory monument In front OF
the palace of justice at Rennes to re-
mind future generations of this outrage
on justice.
The Temps, referring TO the rumor that
the court martial signed a recommenda-
ton for mercy, but only as regards
degradation from military rank, says
the mere mention of eXteneat-
ing circumstances proves that the
judges had doubts of which the accused
should have received the benefit, and it
advises the revis.onists to remember that
in order to demand Justice from the
country 1t is necessary first of all to act
with calmness.

with the schooner Fritz, which she had
in tow.
In passing through a narrow cut of
solid limestone the wheel chains on the
Houghton parted and the steamer drove
her nose far into the limestone rock on
one side, while the current swung her
stern against the opposite side Of the
channel. The next instant the Fritz
crashed into the side Of the big boat, cut
ting hole in her side. The Fritz then
also swung across the channel which was
as completely blocked as if the govern
ment engineers had constructed a dam at
that point.
CLEARING THE CHANNEL.
Every man who could be secured was
put to work. Divers succeeded in putting
a patch of wood over the break In the
steamer, and night and day after that
the ore was shoveled into lighters 1t
could not be thrown overheard, for the
channel at that point is just deep enough
for deep-laden vessels.
Today at noon 1880 tons had been
lightered, and the bow of the Hough; on
had risen out Of the water about five feet.
1t was found that the steamer had driv
en- her way into the limestone ledge about
twelve feet, and the ledge had to be blast
ed away. The first blast of dynamite
only cracked the rock. A second was
then placed under the rock and four tugs
were hitched against the Houghtons S
stern on one side, and two on the other
side, while one was placed at her bow.
The tugs started up at full speed and the
charge was fired.
1t was expected that the next instant
would see the Houghton floating down
stream, carrying the tugs and lighters
and even the trees from the bank to
which the boat was hitched by a twelve
inch hawser, but the Houghton did moth
ing of the kind. The great boat raised
slightly, and then settled back nine inches
deeper in the pocket than she was before.
Again the rocks were charged with dy
Mantle, and again the tugs puffed and
snorted when the charge was fired. Again
the Houghton did not move an inch. This
was repeated again and again until finally
after an unusually heavy charge, whic
shattered the rocks which held the bow
of the Houghton in a wise, the big boat
moved in the current and was pulled out
of the channel.
NAVIGATION OPEN.
1t was a time Of great rejoicing among
the captains of the blockaded fleet, over
a hundred of whom were at the scene.
They hurried back to their ships to pre-

CHICAGO THE CENTER
OF Great System Planned by Har-
riman Syndicate.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-It is said by prom
inent railroad men that the Hartman
syndicate Is working on a plan for
transcontinental railroad system This
is to be brought about by the extension of
the Illinois Central railroad to Omaha
The latter company has its line to the
Missouri river town about finished 1t is
said that when this connecting link is
completed the Union Pacific and Illinois
Central systems will be welded financially
and physically to form one line from Chi
cago to the North Pacific coast.
When this is done the Hartman syndi-
cate will have the Baltimore & Ohio from
New York and Philadelphia to Chicago.
From Omaha 1t will own the Union Pa
cific and the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton line. In addition to this 1t owns the
Illinois Central from Chicago to New
Orleans, the Chicago & Alton to ST. Louis
and Kansas City; and is figuring on the
control of the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf from Kansas City to the Gulf of
Mexico. Chicago will be the center of
this great system.
With the purchase of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis by the Illinois Central, which is
reported to be a near probability, the
syndicate will have a line to st. Paul and

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept. TO-
The embargo on Lake Superior naviga-

Douglas Houghton in the 500 channel

afternoon The largest fleet ever accumu-

ideal one so far as morality was concern
ed. In word, their whole list of moral
axioms was made up of things which 1t
was as well to. avoid, and the man who
had done something wrong lay outside the
pale,s no matter how many good actions
were TO his credit, while he who never.did
anything either good or bad, meekly, but
with an air of conscious virtue, trotted in
side with the sheep.
IL is not an exaggeration to say that for
fifty years this code of morality ruled
American and English society. The people
are now emerging into clearer light and a
braver strength. They are demanding men
Of action, not merely of cautious wisdom.
men who risk something (even, on occa-
sion, their own reputations); men who are
loyal and brave and generous, not only
just, careful, and calm. The public refuses
to condemn the man who has given his life
in the main TO a noble cause, even if he
has mixed some weaknesses or sins with
his virtues. The age of Pecksniff is pass
ing away. The hypocrite is at discount;
the honest man is in demand. And this
little fact about the condemnation of pop
ular books by thin blooded moralists is
only one proof of a great world-movement
which was felt in America, perhaps, before
IL touched any other country.

Anti-Expansion Republicans to Or

st. Louis. No., Aug. 1S.-Eastern des-
patches stating that tanti-expansionists un-
der the leadership Of Senator Clay, Of
Georgia, and Speaker Reed are taking
steps to launch new party to be known
as the Continental Republicans has Great
ed some comment here. DR.. Emil Preeto-
RUS. probably the most anti-imperialistic
Republican in the West, had this to say:
Certainly the anti-imperialists should not
give up the name of Republicans. They
are the Republican party representing true
Republican principles and the others are
expansionists or imperialists, or what they
will. but no genuine Republicans. l be-
lieye that Mckinley cannot be reelected
on an 'expansionist platform. Republicans
like myself will either not vote or vote for
his opponent. An expansion platform will
loose millions of votes, the vote of the
foreign born citizen of the laboring classes
who realize expansion means cheap labor.
Mr.. Mckinley cannot go against this tide I"
Thomas j. Atkins, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, was emphatic
"Bosh" he said, there are not enough
of them to make party. Republicans
were never more harmonious. When the
convention comes the party will deal with
the expansion question as it has always
dealt with every other issue. The platform
of 1900 will not declare for the annexation
of the Philippines. 1t will declare for a
provisional government of the islanders
themselves. The anti-expansionists won't
break away from the party and this new
Continental Republican affair will never
see light"

Mr.. Bryan States His Position on
the Issues of the Day.

reached home late last night tired and
hoarse as a result of his speechmaking g
tour. When asked today whether he real
ly meant to subordinate silver to other
issues in the coming campaign, he an
swered With much warmth, declaring that
an attempt was being made TO put him in
a false position. He said:

know my position cared TO read those
speeches there would be no necessity fo-
asking questions.
Without directly saying so, Mr.. Bryan
made it plain that he had no intention OF
sidetracking silver. He complained that
he was continually being misrepresentei
by the newspapers.

Boys and Girls to Assist in UnvciI-

New York, Aug. 1S.-Two hundred bright
boys and girls may go over to Paris next
year to assist in unveling the colossal gift
of American school children to France
the Lafayette Monument. That is the plan
now being considered by the Lafayette
Monument Association. Not only New
York, but every State and Territory in the
Union, is to be represented. The Senators
and governors each will select one dele
gate and one alternate from the school
children, and the party, which will num-
ber more than zoo. will be taken to Paris
free of charge on a steamer to be chartered
by the association
If the plan is adopted, the young people,
boys and girls, will file their applications
with their Senators and governors and tsC
selections probably will be made upon the
representative conditions of the applicants
When the appointments have been made
the school boys and girls will be drilled
thoroughly under competent instructors in
military tactics and in calisthenic exer-
cises. the same to be performed before the
worlds audience at the unyeiling of. the

1t is proposed not only to select the hoys
and girls who are intelligent but to pay
especial attention to their physical and
health conditions, so that the nations of
Europe may see what healthy class of
young people the United States is raising.

A Mistaken Idea,

Some more or less misguided and Jealous
people in this country have been agitat-
ing the question of censorship of plays,
believing that such a censorship would
purify the American stage of cheap vau-
deville, sensational melodrama, and so
ciety" and problem plays of an unsavory
kind. In view of this, an article in the
current issue of the North American Re
view will probably prove interesting to
actors. authors, managers, and the thea
tregoing public.
There is a censor of plays in England,
and he is a iong-established and respected
British institution. Without such an Off
cial to see that English plays conformed
to certain standard of propriety no
householder of the United Kingdom would
feel safe in taking his wife and daughters
to the theatre. But inasmuch as some of
the worst plays which have offended the
moral sense of enlightened American peo-
pie have come to US from the other side
of the water, the opponent of censorships
may be inclined TO ask whether the off,
cial in question is of much use after all.
According to Mr.. George Bernard Shaw,
who is apt to tell the truth in no very tame
| way when he happens to feel like it, the
English censor, a member of the royal
household of chamberiains, gentlemen in
waiting and the like, really does not ex-
ercise his judgment on a play at all. He
does not even read il. That duty is dele
! gated to subordinate official, and the
practical workings of the system amount
| to this: that almost any kind of play is Ii
censed for a given sum, and the few plays
| thrown out are likely to be those with "a
wholesome moral underlying their grew
| some frankness-like Ibsen's "Ghosts"-or
those possessing dramatic force and beauty
| which excuse the treatment of certain sub
! jects with unusual freedom. In short, the
whole affair is a sort of Anthony Comstock
business. 1t costs the producer of the play
something, and does not really do the pub
| lie any good at all, while it operates as a
real restraint upon the free and natural
development of art
There is no need of repeating this Eng
lish mistake In our own country The
fewer public offices are at the disposal of
designing politicians who want jobs
for their followers, the better it will be for
| the public, and the censorship of plays
| would probably amount to one more plum
for distribution by the victorious party of
| the year, and to nothing else. Moreover,
il might in actual operation be a very
considerable hindrance TO the develop
ment of dramatic art in this country
and il the American has a future in the
arts it is in the drama. Our country is
full Of subjects for plays. and good actors
TO interpret them; and already some bril-
liant Americans aren finding this out. For
