 The Duke and Duchess of Aosta and the Princess of Sleswick- Holstein, who is a guest of the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, soon afterward joined the king and queen in their visit to the af fiicted districts. The royal party was received with the most touching mani festations of gratitude amid cheers and weeping expressions of thanks and frantic gesticulations of joy. The king forbade the police and carbineers to keep the people away from him, so that all could approach him. The women kissed the kings hand and the queens gown, exclaiming, God sent you to us." One of the women, addressing the king, cried:

 The sovereigns visited Santa Anas- tasia, Cercola, Somma and Vesuviana, arousing the same enthusiasm among the people at those places as when they first reached the scene of the dis aster.

"Is it all right, M'Tosh? Will he do it?''. he, asked, anxiously. ...;
 "Yes, Patsy's game for 1t; I knew he would be. He'd put his neck in a rope to spite the major. But it's a crazy thing. Mir. Kent"
 "T know it; but if it will give me A hours"
 "It won't. They can't get home on our line because we'll be tied up. But they can get the Naught-seven put on the Overland's Limited at A. & T. junction, and that will put them back here before you've had time to turn around twice. Have they come down yet?"
 "No," said Kent; and just then he saw Loring coming in from the street entrance and went to meet him.
 'T have the final word from Boston" l" said the ex-manager, when he had walked Kent out of earshot of the train-takers. Your terms are accept ed-with all sorts of safeguards thrown about the no cure, no pay proviso; also with distinct repudiation of you and your scheme if there Is anything unlawful afoot. Do you still think 1t best to keep me in the dark as to what you are doing?" .t
 "Yes; there are enough of us in- volved, as it stands. You couldn't help; and you might hinder. Besides, if the mine should happen to explode in our direction it'll be comfort to have a foot-loose friend or two on the outside to pick up the pieces of us."
 Loripg was polishing his eyeglasses with uncommon vigor.
 T wish you'd drop it, David, if 1t isn't too late. I can't help feeling as if I had prodded you into it, whatever 1t is."
 Kent linked arms with him and led him back to the street entrance.
 GO away, Grantham, and don't come back again." he commanded. Then you can swear truthfully that you didn't know anything about it. It Is too late to interfere, and you are not responsible for me. Go up to see Por- tia; she'll keep you interested while you wait"

riding, it was lost sight of for some time in the clouds of whirling ashes, and anxiety was felt for his majesty's safety, but it was dis covered that the king had ordered his automobile to be driven at full speed ahead and had crossed the path of the cyclone with great rapidity. A short distance further on, however, the ashes were four feet deep, making 1t impos- sible for the royal party to continue their route In the motor cars, conse- quently the king and his suit descend ed and continued their way on foot.
 The royal party returned to Naples and visited the temporary lodging places prepared for the fugitives from the yesuvian towns and villages.
 All the trains are delayed owing to the tracks being covered with cinders, and telegraphic communication with all points is badly congested.
 The stream of lava which has been threatening Tore del Annunzlata, a town of 2S,OS4 inhabitants, twelve miles from Naples, on the road to Castellam- mare, has remained stationary since Sunday evening, so that the danger that the place would be overwhelmed appears to have passed.
 When the last train was leaving Bos- cotrecase fresh crater opened near the observatory station.
 An excursion steamer attempting to reach Naples from the island of Capri had to return as the passengers were l being suffocated by the cinders.

CHAPTER XXvI.
BY ORDER OF THE COURT.

BY ORDER OF THE COURT.
 Between the hours of S:30 and 10 p. m. the Union passenger station at the capital presents a moving and spirited spectacle. Within the hour and half, four through and three To- cal trains are dse to leave, and the space within the iron grille that fences off the track platforms from the public part of the station is filled with hurrying throngs of train-takers.
 It was the evening of the last day in the month; the day when the Fed erative Council of Railway Workers had sent its ultimatum to Receiver Guilford. The reduction in wages was to go into effect at midnight: if, by midnight, the order had not been re- scinded, and the way opened for a joint conference touching the removal of certain officials, general strike and tie-uD would be ordered. Trains in transit carrying passengers of United States mail would be run to their re- spectiye destinations; trains carrying perishable freight would be run to di- vision stations: with these exceptions all labor would cease promptly on the stroke of 12.
 Such was the text of the ultimatum, a certified copy of which Engineer Scott had delivered in person into the hands of the receiver at noon.
 It was now S:45 p. m. The eastbound night express wes ready for the run to A. & T. junction: the fast mail. one hour and g minutes late from the east. was backing in on track nine 10 take on the city mail.

j. F. McCANN, WELL KNOWN
LEWISTOWN MAN A SUICIDE

John F. McCann, former well
known young man of this city, COM
mitted suicide at a camp near Glen
dive last Wednesday afternoon, but
his relatives and friends here did not
learn of it until Saturday, when pa
pers arrived with a dispatch giving
the announcement. The dispatch was
dated at Glendive, Thursday and read
as follows:
John F. Mccain, a former restau-
rant proprietor of Glendive, who re-
Gently left for E. J. Lambs camp,
near Burns creek, was drowned at
that place yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock. 1t is supposed that he
committed suicide, as he was fully
dressed when he jumped into the riv-
er, and few moments before he was
seen in an attitude of prayer in one
OF the tents near by. No motive can
be assigned for the deed. McCann
had been drinking heavily for sever
al days, and is thought to have been
mentally deranged. He leaves wild
ow in this city, who left today to look

after the remains should they be
found. He also leaves a young child
here and a mother in Lewistown.
Coroner Foster left this morning to
hold an inquest"
Johnny" McCann was about "a
years of age. and was reared in this
city, where his brother, Leslie Nc
Cam, as well as his divorced wife
and their children, reside. A sister,
married Joseph Bertrand, who remov-
ed to Carbon county last year, and
his mother is now living at Red Lodge.
The decedent first followed the trade
of printer. and was employed at
the Argus for several years. He then
engaged in the restaurant business,
but meantime had become addicted
to drink, and his downfall is to be
ascribed solely to that. His wife Sc
cured divorce and the decedent left
Lewistown about six years ago. Moth.
ing had been heard of him for some
time, and it was not definitely known
where he was located until this sad
news came.

First Cattle Shipment.

Great Falls, July 16.-The first ship.
ment Of Montana range cattle to the
Chicago market from the northern
ranges will go forward July 25. The
cattle will be shipped by d. A. G.
FlOwerree and are said to be in ex.
cellent condition.
1t is possible the Wyoming stock
men may make shipments before the
date named, but so far as known Mr..
Flowerree's will be the first from
Montana.
According 10 reports to w. G.. Preu-
lit. secretary of the Montana Stock
growers association. Montana range
cattle are in fine condition. and the
rangemen will ship fat cattle this
year. Last year cattle were not fat
and prices were low. II is thought
the shipments will be as heavy this
year as last, when they reached 24O
900 head, and judging by the condi
ton of the animals prices ought to
be better than year ago.

DREYFUS IS
EXONERATED
Full and Complete Vindication for
Victim Of Most Remarkable Con.
spiracy in French History.
HE is RESTORED TO THE ARMY
Decision of Supreme Court Sweeping
-Dreyfus Made Officer of Leg
ion Of Honor.

Paris, July lG.-After suffering ag-
onies for many years, Capt. Alfred
Dreyfus has heen completely exon
Grated and rehabilitateh. The su-
preme court, by unanimous vote, has
declared him innocent of the charges
made against him by perjured con-
spiratOrs. The decision was rendered
Friday, when the palace of justice
was literally thronged by an eager
crowd seeking admission to the court
room. Among those present were
Mathew Dreyfus, brother Of Alfred
Dreyfus; Maitre Mornard, counsel for
Dreyfus: Joseph Reinaich, the histor-
ian of the Dreyfus affair; Colonel
Picquart, Nine. Zola and many others
who have figured in various stages of
the celebrated case. Captain Dreyfus
was not present, continuing his hab-
itual secrecy by remaining secluded
in the garnet where he has hitherto
been cut of from the outer world.
Court Reviews the Case.
The scene as the decision was pro-
nounced was one of impressive dig
nifty. The court, consisting of 49
judges, gowned in red robes, solemn
ly mounted the bench, Deep silence
prevailed as the presiding Judge read
the lengthy decision, minutely review
ing the series of sensational events
disculpating Dreyfus of all wrongdo-
ing, freeing him of the accusation of
being the author of the famous ncrim-
mating documents on which the en-
tire charge was founded, and order
ing the annulment OF the judgment
of the Rennes court martial, with the
publication of the final announcement
of his innocence in so newspapers to
be chosen by Dreyfus.
The reading of the decision lasted
an hour, and it was only at the close
that the spectators realized the sweep
ing nature of the vindication. AS the
final determination was announced
there was a buzz of excited comment
and some exclomations of approval,
which the court sternly repressed.
Mathew Dreyfus hastily dispatched
a messenger to bear the good news
to Captain Dreyfus and Madame Drey-
fus. Outside the court the crowds
