Flagstaff, Ariz., Aug. 24.-For the sec
ond time this season a cloudburst has
swept fields, roads and bridges and
driven those living on the lowlands in

TRIAL NEARING CLOSE.
Public Interest in Humbert Case at
Paris Is Intense-LabOrt Con-
tinues Address.

Paris, Aug. 22.-Public interest Is
growing more intense as the Humbert
trial is nearing it's close and the crowds
at the palace of justice were much aug
mented Thursday, Although the gen.
eral expectation is that a verdict will be
reached by night, the court officials be-
lieved that the advocate general will
reply to Maitre Labor, leading counsel
for the defense, thus postponing the
verdict until Saturday. Among those
who have reserved places near the
Judges was Sonora Castro, wife of the
president of Venezuela, who was ac-
companied by the Venezuelan minister.
Maitre Labori continued his address for
Che defense, urging that the larger
creditors had acted through attorneys,
who should be held responsible, while
the small creditors would have been
paid if the Rente Viagere had not been
wrecked through the premature prose-
cution of the Humberts.
Maitre Labori caused considerable
sensation by bitter denunciation of M
Cattaui, the money-lender, for prose
cutting the Humberts, and, incidentally
mentioning M. Waldeck- Rousseau's and
NJ Valle's part in the prosecution, he de-
cfared the political parties leaders had
become degenerate. NJ Vale, counsel
pointed out, first acted as attorney
against the Humberts, and afterwards
| became minister of justice, supervising
their prosecution M. Cattaui, he as.
serted, belonged to that class which i!

THE mA1HED SOLDIERS.

April 10, 1902, the bill urged by the
Manned Soldiers Association, giving an in
crease of pension to men suffering from
certain disabilities, was passed by the
Senate, but in the House received many
amendments. and finally passed in the fol-
lowing shape:
THAT from and after the passage of
this Act all persons on the pension roll,
and all persons hereafter granted pen
sion, WHO, while in the military or naval
service of the United States and in the
line OF duty, from wounds, INJURIES or dis
ease originating prior to Aug. 4, 1886,
shall have lost one hand or one foot, or
been totally disabled in the same. shall
receive pension at the rate of so per
month; that all persons who, in like man.
ner, shall have lost an arm at or above
the elbow or a leg at or above the knee,
or been totally disabled in the same, shall
receive pension at the rate of SAG per
month; that all persons who, in like man
ner, shall have lost an arm at the shoulder
joint or leg at the hip joint, or so near
the shoulder or hip joint or where the
same is in such condition as to prevent
the use of an artificial limb. shall receive
pension at the rate of $50 per month,
ard that all persons who, in like manner,
shall have lost one hand and one foot, or
been totally disabled in the same, shall re-
ceive pension at the rate $50 per month !;
and that all persons who, in like manner,
shall have lost both feet shall receive n
pension at the rate of 500 per month:
Provided, however, That this Act shall not
be so construed as to reduce any pension
under any Act, public or private.
"Sec. 2. That the pensions of all per-
sons who served one year or more in the
Army OF Navy Of the United States, and
who, under the Act approved June q,
$780,, and the Acts amendatory thereof,
are drawing or hereafter shall be entitled
to draw n pension at the rate of So per
month, and who are or shall become SO
disabled from injuries or disease as to
require the frequent and periodical aid and
attendance of another person, shall be in
creased to $50 per month from and after
the date of the certificate of the Examin-
ing Surgeon or Board of Examining Sur
geons showing such degree of disability
and made subsequent to the passage OF
this Act.
''Amend the title so as to read: AN Act
to increase the pensions of those who have
lost limbs in the military or naval service
of the United States, or are totally disa-
bled in the same, or who are SO otherwise
totally disabled as to require the frequent
and periodical aid and attendance of an
other person."
The Senate refused to receive these
amendments, and the bill is now in con-
ference, with the likelihood of being acted
upon at an carly date in this session. 1t
will be perceived that Section makes
several very important amendments IN
favor of those who were pensloned under
Act of June q, 1890.

THE NATIONAL sNcAmpmEnr.

COMMANDMENTS CHIEF STEWART will
leave Philadelphia Feb. 16, with portion
of his staff, for San Francisco, to make
the necessary arrangements for holding
the National Encampment. He will be
in Chicago on the 18th, where the Illinois
comrades, headed by Hon. II. NJ. Trimble,
the Department Commander, and G. A.
Partridge, the Assistant Adjutant-Gener-
al, will give him reception and have a
Grand Army Rally. He will leave Chi
cage for Kansas City that night.
1t is the intention of the Commander
n-Chief to have such definite agreements
about rates with hotels, railroads, etc.,
that there can be no possible chance for
or imposition. AS soon as
everything is definitely concluded, the
Commander-in-C Chief will issue an order
giving full information as to rates, routes,
ETC. He hopes to be able to secure an
agreement from the railroads to place the
tickets on sale at some considerable time
before the date of the Encampment, which
will enable those so intending to visit their
and still have all the time needed in San
Francisco for the Encampment and for
seeing the attractions Of California. It
has been decided to hold the Encamp-
ment in August, either for the week be-
ginning Aug. II or the week beginning
Aug. "a. August is very pleasant month
in California, and the best one that could
be chosen for sightseeing, and holding the
Encampment thus early will enable very
many more to go than if September or
October had been selected.

THERE have been many rumors circu-
lated as to the hotel keepers and others
of San Francisco forming a combine to
raise prices during the next National En-
campment. These assumed such impor-
lance that Chief Stewart
addressed letter of inquiry to Gen. War
field, asking him to see that no such scheme
was adopted. Gen. Warfeld at once
formally and emphatically denied the
stories that there was such a combination,
or that there would be. He could speak
with authority, as he is proprietor of the
California Hotel, and a prominent MEM
Der Of the Hotel Keepers Association. The
people of San Francisco are preparing to
give the comrades the time of their lives,
and will omit nothing to make the En-
