GEN. ANDRES FIRST ACT.
Orders Prosecution of Newspapers
Which Attacked the Army.

Paris. May 91.-9:2O p. m.-The first
measure of the new minister of war,
Gen. Andre, on taking over the war
office, is an order for the prosecution of
the Dreyfusard paper, the Aurore, for
an article by Urban Gohier, printed
yesterday attacking the headquarters
staff, in connection with the Captain
F'ritch affair. These officer detectives,
said M. Gohier, lin case of war would
sell to the enemy our forts, armies and
provinces as they sold them before in
time of peace. They engage in jobbery
in army contracts, sell crosses of honor
and all sorts of documents. When they
do not possess authentic documents,
they manufacture forgeries for the mil
itary trade is the school of treason. as
it is of lying, stealing and murder"
M Gohier is the author of the book
1.-THE Army Against the Nation which
created such an cutlery on account of
its denunciation of the army, and for
which he was prosecuted.
Gen. Andre has requested minister of
justice, NJ. Monis, to take proceedings
and this was the step announced at to-
days cabinet council

WIPE OUT BUCKET SHOP
Chicago Board of Trade War
viii Soon eliminate.

Kansas City, May 31.-The Chicago
board of trade is again making an eff
fort to wipe out of existence the $4,000
bucketshops of the country. 1t has serv-
ed notice on the Western Union Tele-
graph company that after tomorrow the
board will collect it's own market quo
tations instead of permitting the West
ern Union to do the sending and collect
ing, as at present This means that the
Western Union will be altogether de-
prived of the privilege of furnishing its
thousands of customers with quotations
and the step is regarded by leading
members of the board of trade as the
most radical step the board has ever
taken in this direction. In consequence,
a great struggle is expected in the
courts. between the board of trade and
the Western Union.
The trial of the injunction suit Of the
Christie Street Commission company, of
Kansas City, to restrain the Chicago
board of trade and the Western Union
company rom removing the tckerS
from the commission company's Office
in Kansas City is now being heard be-
fore Judge Tuley in Chicago and a de-
cision is looked for this week. As the
whole legal controversy hinges on the
points involved in this injunction pro-
ceeding. it S being watched with intense
interest by all parties concerned. The
| ChriStie-Street company maintains that
/ the w eSIern Union IeleSfapn company
| is a common carrier. and that, there
/ fore, it cannot refuse its service.
The $4,000 bucketshops of the United
! States handle immense amounts of
money and will, of course, be on the
side of the Western Union Telegraph
| company.
| It is estimated that the bucketshops
| of the country are under an annual ex-
pense Of $75,0000 600 for quotations, Office
help, rent and fixtures. That is an ex-
tremely low estimate. being but SIC
| apiece a day. whereas a good sized
bucketshop, doing a hourishing bust
ness, frequently pays from $50 to 500 q
day to its employees alone. Estimating
profits at only one-half the EXPENSES
a day for each bucketshop-the result is
$50, 000, 900 a year A total of $110 600 OOl
is thus lost by the patrons of bucket
shops every year.
The Christ1e-Street agency in Topeka
is in the basement of the Columbian
building, and is managed by w. Bous
log.
Mr.. Bouslog said this morning: ct
the decision goes against the Kansa!

mission houses in Topeka will have tt

I think that the decision will be in ia

Louisville, May 31.-The session of the
Confederate reunion which convened at
10 O'Clock today in Reunion hall was
devoted to business. The Sons of Con-
federate Veterans met at the same time
in the criminal court building. The rain
continued to pour at brief intervals to-
day and many of the decorations have
been ruined. The steady downpOur has
continued for the greater part OF three
days. Nearly all of the outdoor fea-
lures of the reunion have of necessity
been abandoned. There was to have
been an equestrian tournament today.
but the depth of the mud at the mark
made its abandonment a matter of
course. The basket picnic to be given
today at Wilder park to the visiting
ladies' of the confederacy was likewise

out the day it is anticipated that it will
have serious effect in decreasing the
crowd which is expected to arrive to-
morrow for the purpose of viewing the

Pursue Shifty Tactics.

Pursue Shifty Tactics.
New York, May 31.-Still pursuing the
shifty and evasive tactics by which
they are seeking to delay the inevitable
moment when they will be compelled by
process of law to allow public light to
penetrate their doings and scheming,
officials of the American Ice company
once more succeeded today in staving
off investigation into their methods.
Former Senator Myer Nussbaum Of
Albany who on Monday was appointed
referee to take testimony in the pro-
ceedingS Which have been brought to
annuI the company's certificate to do
business in this state. held a meeting
today in the Mutual Life building.
Earlier in the day Charles w Morse,
president of the trust, had been served
with a subpoena requiring him to pro-
duce all the books and papers that bear
upon the issue of the alleged unlawful
agreement in the restraint of trade. Eff
forts were also made to subpoena Rob-
ert A Scott. secretary of the company,
and William H. Gelshenen. president of
the Garfield National bank Mr. Scott
could not attend because of sickness,
and Mr.. Gelshenen's whereabouts could
not be discovered.
Immediately after Mr.. Morse had been
served with a subpoena application was
made by his attorneys to Justice An
dreWS for an order to show cause why
the proceedings should not be vacated.
The order was signed and made return
able on June s. Armed with this order
the lawyers for the trust officials ap-
peared before Mr.. Nussbaum in the at
ternoon and asked for an adjournment
until June g. Ultimately the referee
granted an adjournment, so far as Mr.
Morse was concerned. until Friday.
Judge Edward z. COyne appeared for
Attorney General Davies. The attorney
general also was present, however. as
was Benjamin F. Einstein, the attorney
for William R. Hearst. upon whose pc

Washington, May Ex-senator Jones
of Arkansas in the senate today made
a vigorous attack upon the administra-

by Commissioner General Peck. Up to
January 1, 1900 he said, Mr.. Peck had
accounted for less than 100000 of the
81 100000 appropriated for exposition
purposes. He believed that an investi-

in order that the people might have
the facts
