OYER R-CR0WDING
That Said to Have Been the
Charge Upon Which the
Tartar
Is Held by the British Consul at
Hong Kong...An American
Transport
But Subject to British Naviga-
tion Laws, Because of Brit
ish Charter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA cable
message has been received at the war
department concerning the transport
Tartar, which has been held at Hong
Kong. Secretary Root thought it was
of sufficient Importance to take to the
president for consideration. The dis
patch has not been made public.
The Tartar was chartered by the
United States and is owned by the Can
adian Pacific Steamship company. Sh
sails under the British flag. It is sal
that under these conditions she is sub
ject to the British navigation laws
The British consul can determil
whether she complies with the Britis
navigation laws, and if she does not, he
has authority to unload her.
A private cable message from Hong
Kong says that complaint was made by
the 400 discharged regulars on board
the Tartar, of overcrowding, where.
upon clearance was refused.
The Twentieth Kansas volunteer in
fantry, with General Funston, is aboard
the Tartar but it is understood that the
volunteers make no complaint and are
anxious to have clearance granted the
ship, in order that they may proceed
homeward.

Max O'Rell Implores Foreign
Friends Of Dreyfus to Stop
Agitating.
Their Expressions of Sympathy
Have Already Done Him
Harm.
Generals Mercier and Roget Will
Ask a Pardon OH Con.
ditiOns.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-While the papers
are full of letters from individuals and
several firms announcing their with
drawal from the Paris exhibition, and
urging the government to do likewise,
there is no intention upon the part of
the British government of taking any
such step.
1t says that it is also unlikely that
the present agitation will result in any
general withdrawal of British exhibits.
Max O'Rell paul Blouet) has written
letter to The Daily Chronicle saying
that public expression of sympathy
will go against Dreyfus, adding:
"For Gods sake use your influence to
stop it. But for the universal SYM
pathy shown for Dreyfus, whom I, per-
sonally, believe to be innocent, in Eng
land and Germany, he would have been
acquitted. 1t is a terrible thing to say,
but say it, and am not afraid of con-
tradiction."
The Evening News is urging the for.
nation of a British Legion of Honor,
consisting of persons and firms who
will have nothing to do With the Paris
exhibition, and publishes list of over
40 firms and others headed by Sir Will
lam Blake Richmond, R.A., who will
| not exhibit.

BOYCOTT NOT SANCTIONED.

Paris Exposition Has Nothing to Do
With French Politics.
BERLIN, Sept. 14.-The German gov.
ernment organs have been quick to is.
sue warning against the proposal to
boycott the Paris exposition.
Germany has no occasion to take the
lead in this matter" says the Cologne
Gazette. ''She ought to leave this to
other states, which, perhaps, would not
consider it undesirable that Germany,
of all powers, should adopt hostile at
titude toward France in this matter"
Geheimrath Waldrath, a member of
the exposition commission, says:
''What has the exposition to do with
politics? Its sole object is commercial.
To withdraw is no such easy matter.
Every industrial branch will be repre-.
sented by group, to which the indi.
vidual manufacturer contribut es. The
industrial branches could, therefore,
only withdraw as whole. There is
not the slightest symptom of any in.
clination to adopt that course. The
greatest efforts are putting forth in all
quarters to make the best possible show
ing.
"We have met with the friendliest
reception from the French manage
1nent of the exhibition. I am con-
vinced the whole movement is only a
tempest in teacup."

New YORK, Sept. IA dispatch to

Emile Zola's protest against the

Aurore causes an impression second

Nine. Dreyfus fears that her hus-
bands health may soon break down
completely. Dreyfus nerved himself
up during the Rennes trial, but the re-
action is such that the physicians con-
slider his case hopeless and say that any
day fatal collapse may ensue.
Meanwhile the intervention of Presi-
dent Loubet by according Dreyfus a
full pardon, is regarded by those near.
est the president as almost certain, and
this would be followed by executing
the policy of the sponge and wiping out
all old scores and reducing the pending
trials, which originated in the Dreyfus
affair, to mere empty formalities, re.
leasing Deroulede and his royalist com.
panions and liquidating the whole sit
uation by general amnesty prepara-
tory to the worlds fair of 1900.

WELCOME TO JIMINEZ.
Revolutionist Leader at the Capital Of

Revolutionist Leader at the Capital of
santo Domingo.
SASTo DOMINGO. Sept. l4.-Senor
Juan 1sidro Jiminez, the aspirant to
the presidency of Santo Domingo, ar
rived here during the day on board the
Dominican warship Presidente. His
arrival was the cause of great festivi-
ties and expressions of satisfaction. 1t
is not known as yet when the election
will take place. At present the coun-
try is quiet The most difficult part to
be settled is the financial situation of
the government, the paper money being
one of the principal conditions of the
bad state of affairs Business is still
heavily depressed. Importations are
very limited, but the market is bare of
many articles, principally provisions.
The manifesto of Senor Jiminez pro-
poses liberal government ON strict,
honest lines. He calls for reform of
the present tariff of duties, advocates a
strict gold basis and is in favor of the
withdrawal of the present circulating
national coin and paper money. He
also recommends the favoring of immi.
grafton and full guarantees to citizens
and foreigners, and approves of roads
ports and public works in general.

SHOULD BE DISCREET.

Attorney General Of bIinnesots on tho
Powers Of Boards Of Health.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 14.-Attorney Gen.
eral Douglas has informed the state
board of health that its order calling for
the vaccination of all children before
entering the school this fall cannot be
enforced. The law provides that the
health board can exclude children from
the public schools in case of danger
from smallpox, if the necessary precau-
tions are not taken, but the board is
cautioned to be discreet in such an ex-
ercise of authority. And, while the at
torney general holds that the law is
constitutional, he does not believe that
present conditions can be construed
into threatened outbreak of smallpox.

CABINET TALKS 1T OVER,

Local Government Proposed for tho Isl.
aud of Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, Sept 14.-The days
cabinet meeting was occupied in the
discussion of form of civil govern
ment for Porto Rico. This matter has
been under serious consideration ever
since Secretary Root took his place as
secretary Of war and the indications
are that now some form of local govern.
ment will be decided upon and put into
operation within the next few weeks at
the latest. The details of TIE proposed
plan have not yet been made public but
1t is understood it involves the appoint.
ment of civil governor by the presi.
dent and also the appointment of the
chiefs of the several great departments
of the government which would include
chief of the financial department, a
director of posts and probably two or
three others. In addition the president
will appoint from the
Leading Citizens of the Island
certain number to act in legislative
capacity with the civil governor and
the members of his council. These will
be authorized to recommend any
changes that may be Thought necessary
in the existing laws and to suggest such
others as in their Judgment may be
deemed best. 1t is not intended that
this form of government shall continue
beyond the time congress may see fit to
legislate on the subject, but it is the
purpose of the president to give the
government pending such action. Al
though the governor general and the
members of his council will exercise
general supervision over the enforce.
ment of any laws that may receive the
approval of the president, those relat-
ing to municipal matters will be left
largely in the hands of the people Of
Porto Rico.

HANNA'S HEALTH POOR.

Work Mapped Out.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 14.-It is feared
by Cleveland friends of Senator Hanna
that the condition of his health may
prevent him from continuing the hard
work which he has mapped out for
himself. Letters from members of his
family to friends and relatives give
the impression that his health has not
been at all improved by his sojourn in
France, in fact the opinion is expressed
that he would have been better if he
had remained home in quiet. Senator
Hanna is expected home soon, he is
now on the Atlantic,
