GONE AETER DnEYFus.
French Cruiser Has Left Brest ON q
Mysterious Errand.

Brest France, June 25.--The French
flrst-class cruiser Tage put to sea this
evening, the official explanation being
that she has gone to experiment with car
rler pigeons. She is, however, a much
larger cruiser than the Sfax, which is
bringing Captain Dreyfus. and the dispatch
OF such a big vessel with carrier pigeons
is quite unprecedented Usually a torpedo
boat Is sent, and the opinion therefore
gains ground that the Tage has gone to
meet the SDax and to take Captain Drey-
fus on the ship. The pigeons can be used
TO announce the transfer, and the Tage
might proceed TO another port to land the
prisoner.
AS against this theory and an indica-
ton that the landing of Dreyfus will be
effected here, there is the fact that a
large number OF gendarmes from the
country around Brest are arriving or are
expected to arrive tonight
The treasurer OF the famous league of
the French Fatherlsnd reached Brest this
evening from Paris, and this organiza-
ton is said to be at the head of any ex-
listing anti-Dreyfus agitation.

THE RUSSIAN NAVAL PROPOSAL
WANTS FUTURE PREPARATIONS
MADE SPECIFIC.
Germany VIII withdraw Her obJec.
ton to Court of Arbitration If OBJ
IiEntory Clauses Are Expunged.

London. June 2e.--The correspondent OF
OF Russia's naval proposal is as follows:
"Acceptation of the principle that for The
term OF three years the sum of the naval
budgets shall BIO determined with an en-
gagement not to increase the total dur
ing that triennial period and with an OBJ
legation OF announcing in advance for said
period: First, the total tonnage of those
ships Of war for which 1t is proposed TO
build without specifying the models there
Of; second, the numbers of officers aud
crew, and third, tho expenditure on works
in ports, such as forts, docks, arsenals
and the like"
The question Of the exemption of the
private property at sea from capture in
time of war has entered Il new stage
through the Issue Of the statement OF the
American delegates.
| hear on good authority that a certain
foreign power may extend the discussion
to a declaration OF Paris with view Of
getting rid OF one feature which is not
considered advantageous, The first halt
OF the voluminous paper Is merely sum
mary of past action on the part OF the
United states in The matter
The proposal itself follows: Private
property OF all citizens or subjects Of the
signatory powers. with the exception Of
contraband Of war, shall be exempt from
capture or seizure on the high seas or
elsewhere by the armed vessels or by the
military forces OF any OF the said sigma
tory powers, but nothing herein contained
shall extend the exemption from seizure
TO vessels and their cargoes which may
attempt TO enter port blockaded by the
naval forces OF any OF said powers"
Tho American delegates referring 10 the
fact that the circular OF Count Muravlen
excludes extraneous matters, says: The
fact OF our having received Instructions
from the president OF the United States
show that our government believed that
the scope OF tho conference was wide
enough TO include this question"
They Urge as an argument that their
proposal II adopted as a rule OF war, would
ameliorate the hardships Of naval war
fare but II has been o0nclusiyely proved
by experiences In past wars that the de-
struetion OF sea borne commerce is one
OF tho most humane ways OF reducing this

A MIDNIGHT CAUCUS.

Louisville, ky. June 25,--A midnight
conference was held tonight in the room
OF Congressman Joseph Rhea at Rufus hall
OF tho leaders Of the Hardin and Stone
forces, the object being to form some plan
by which their combined vote might be
thrown to either Hardin or Stone and try
20 nominate him over Goebel.
The movement began with meeting
called by Whallen and General Basil w.
Duke at Muth's hotel Among those pres
emit besides Whallen were John b, Thomp-
son. John L. Dunlap, tho Hon. p. Wat
Hardin and Ollie NJ. James and Senator
G. ]. Bronston. Whallen is said to have
advised the anti Goebel leaders to move
for a reversal OF the order OF nominations
as adopted in the committee report on
organization, and when Chairman Redwine
ruled 1t out OF orde--for the reason that
1t was a part OF the organization report
which had already been adopted-that the
delegates should Immediately move to ad-
journ to meet at Lexington In twenty OF
forty days. Against this 1t was argued
that tho interests OF the party would be
materially injured and that the democrats
out in the State would condemn any such
useless move.
The conference was still in session at
a. m, and 1t is said has made some prog.
ress toward Stone Hardin combine.

prynn,. opinion.

New York, June s4.--A special "
the Herald from Lincoln. Neb..
says; Mr.. Bryan believes II he is
nominated for the presidency next
year his election is assured. That
Is practically what no told his sup
porters In a short address last night,
following a meeting OF the state
central committee OF the democrats,
populists and free. silver republic
ans.
Mr.. Bryan and "Coin" Harvey
were called In conference by the
combined committees. Mr.. Harvey
announced his plan OF securing con-
tributions for the coming campaign.
Mr.. Bryan was called upon and said
that he approved OF the Harvey
method OF getting funds. He
thought II each man put a little
money .nto the campaign he would
feel like working for the success
of tho ticket. lie said that the re-
publlcans could raise funds easily
and quietly through the trusts, but
she democratic party had to depend
upon the people for Its money. The
coming campaign would be much
easier than the former, because OF
tho fact that the party had to be
wrested from Its enemies in its own
fold before, and there had been
trouble in getting the three parties
into line on fusion. Another thing
that would mitigate the hard work
was the fact that the present adj
ministration had frightened the
people much more than the Chi
cago platform. He said that the
democratic party was In reality tho
conservative party after all, and II
would be found out that 1t was the
one to protect property; that as 1t
was the party was not opposed to
the accumulation OF wealth, but was
unalterably opposed 10 the accumu-
lation by unfair legislation.
