Remor That the Government Has Ordered the Arrest of Mercier and That Orders Will Be Issued to Withdraw the Case Against Dreyfus — Documents All Forger- ies—Three Enemies of Dreyfus Occupy the Stand, Mainly Reiter- ating Evidence Previously Given by Them Against Dreyfus. Lendon, Aug. 22.—The Paris corre- jondent of the Sunday Special says: “The government, I understand, has decided to arrest Gen. Mercier. It is rumored that orders will be given to Witadraw the case against Dreyfus, it having proved that the documents re- lied upon to establish his guilt, are forgeries.” Rennes, Aug. 22.—The stage was oc- ecupied Saturday successively by three enemies of Dreyfus—Maj. Cuignet, Gen. De Boisdeffre and Gen. Gonz— who, froin 6:30 until 11 a. m., mainly devoted themselves to reiterating what they had previously said in evidence against the prisoner, who followed them with characteristic composure, but when the moment came for nim to reply the prisoner delivered one of those brief utterances of indignation which have had such a powerful effect upon his hearers. The telegram of the Debats as to the authenticity of a certain letter sent by Col. Schneider, Austrian mili- tary attache, to the Figaro, was intro- duced by Maj. Cuignet, who was very emphatic in his testimony. He did not show to great advantage in the cross-examination, Maj. Cuignet evi- dently committed an indiscretion in sxging in Col. Schneider's name, ch caused a sensation in court. The began to lean their heads to- and look serious. Then Maj. the government expert, rose, sual stormy gesture: eareful avoiding of Col. Schneid- "s name, made a few remarks, refus- in behalf of the government, to accept the res net's indise the gove on, the fact being th ninent has begun to get ap- » of trouble if the foreign at- court, as has frequently oc- » the opening of the trial. M. Demange took up the ma- cross-@ ion, not a very performance in itself, Ma immediately showed uneasi- hh was accentuated when the defense ed a pointed question, espe- cially where counsel threshed out the contradictions with Cuignet’s evidence before the court of cassation. Drey- fus, too, was effective when he rose and protested against Cuignet's bitter ack. During his deposition Maj. Cuignet referred to the “extraordinary dossier,” which it is doubted, how- ey the government will consent to produce. Another indiscreet — state- ment of the witness was that the min- ister of war had in his possession the pick of these documents, and Cuignet said: “I think the court ought to see tie rest of these documents. I think Dreyfus is part of a big matter ul that there was not only one spy. court would see that the military taches do nothing but spying.” Gen. De Bosdeffre ness, wh followed. He spoke in a blunt manner and in some- What blunt tones, but with a certain air of sincerity, which had its effeet on the judges. The er xXamination Was not ve productive. M. De- mange, however, scored one point. When Gen. De Boisdeffre said that he knew Col. Picquart nad relations with the Dreyfus family in 1896, counsel questioned him with the result that the general was obliged to admit he had no preof f a racy of his statements, but relied on impressions. Gen. Gonz his evidence in a quiet tone. interesting re- mark was with reference to the letter of Col. Schneider, whom, however, he was careful not to name. But the whole telegram ef the ro he virtu~ ally dec to be a lie, as he said: “We have in our bureau many letters enabling us to affirm the authenticity of the letter.” The most interesting portion of the proceedings was the last half-hour, when Gonz, Picquart, Billot and Drey- fus were on their feet in a series of confrontations—a move which had dra- matic elements and which produced much emoticn in court and occasioned from Dreyfus unexpected outbur: pent-up feeling. WILL BE CONDEMNED. So Says Gen. Mercier—Foreign Pa- pers Have Been Misled. Rennes, Aug. 22.—Gen. Mercier, who Was minister of war when Capt. Drey- fus was condemned, and who, in the present trial, is the virtual prosecutor, was called upon by the correspondent of the Associated Press, who invited him to make a statement of the posi- tion of the anti-Dreyfusards. Though unable to receive the correspondent in person, Gen. Mercier sent his oldest son to convey the following expression of his view i “Gen. Mercier considers it useless to attempt to convert foreign opinion re- garding the Dreyfus case, in which, r, foreigners have no right to ne. Foreign peoples have been nusled by the press, which is violent- ly MWreyfusard, for the very good reason that the majority of the foreign newspapers have been bribed by the Gen. Mercier considers any- 1g he might say concerning his po- sition, which is that of a majority of the French people, useless, The best wer to the Dreyfusard statements ad will be condemnation of Drey- This condemnation is only a ter of ten days or a fortnight, for ndemned, Dreyfus certainly will be. Foreigners will then see that their journals have deceived them, for they will recognize that the mass of the French nation, who will receive the news of the conviction of Dreyfus as joyful tidings, is not composed of of- ficials, and that the majority ot French applaud the condemnation, it will be because it is just and merited.” BRUSH WITH REBELS.

The insurgents recently cut the cable In Laguna de Bay leading to Calumpit on the south shore of the lake, but the break has been repaired. OTIS WILL STAY. No Immediate Change Will Be Made in the Prilippines. Plattsburg, N. Y., Aug. 22.—At the close of his interview with President McKinle t night Gen. Merritt said: “So far as we know there will be no immediate change in military com- manders in the Philippine islands.

Failure of the Canal Bill Generously Commented Upon. Berlin, Aug. 22.—The lower house of the Prussian diet rejected the entire canal bill by a vote of 225 to 147, thir- ty-two of the members abstaining from voting. The bill for the Forstmund- Resine canal alone was rejected by a vote of 275 to 134, three of the mem- bers abstaining from voting. Before the vote was taken Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, declared that even if the canal bill was rejected it would remain on the orders of the day. The attituce of the Conservatives to- ward the measure will materially at. fect the relations of the government. Killed in a Riot.

Disturbances in Which the Police and Republican Guards Have Des- perate Conflicts With the Anareh- ints—Windows of Religious Edi- fices Smashed by the Mob—In- terior of the Church of St. Joseph Completely Wrecked by the An- archists — Three Hundred and Eighty Persons Were Injured In- cluding Fifty-nine Policemen. Paris, Aug. 22.—Paris was yesterday the scene of most serious disturbances, recalling some aspects of the com- mune. In response to an appeal of the Journals Le Peuple and La Petite Re- publique, groups of anarchists and sccialists gathered about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in Place de la Repub: lique. ‘he police had taken precau- tions and there seemed no danger of disorders. Sebastian Faure and Faberot, well known revolutionary anarchists, were the ringleaders. Faure, standing on the pedestal of the statue which rises in the center of the Place de la Re- publique, addressed the crowd. Among other things he said that the anarch- ists should be masters of the streets. The police then interfered and dis- lodged Fatre and Faberot, making three arrests. The crowd at this point dispersed, but a column of demonstra- tors, headed by Faure and Henri a@’Horr, made for the Place de Nation. ‘The police broke through the column and a struggle for the mastery fol- lowed. Shots were fired and M. Goul- lier, commissary of police, was twice stabbed with a knife. This threw the police into momentary confusion. The mob reassembled and ran toward the Place de Nation. The police, reinforced by a squad that had been held in re- serve, made another attempt to stem the current and fresh fierce fighting occurred, three constables being wounded. Faure and d@’Horr jumped into a passing street car that was g0- ing to the Place de la Republique, and the car driver on arriving there gave a signal to the police, who immediately arrested them both, together with two other anarchists. In the meantime the anarchist mob retraced its steps to the Place de la Republique, smashing the windows of religious edifices on the way. Suddenly, either at the word of command or in obediénce to im- pulse, the column made a loop and curyed toward the Church of St. Am- broise, where the rioters smashed the windows. Proceeding thence toward the Fauborg du Temple, they formed up into a compact body, Hatchets were suddezly produced, with long knives stolen from the counters of shops, and a concerted rush was made npon the church of St. Joseph. Ac- cording to one account the wild hordes burst into the church and the interior soon became a scene of desolation and pillage. Images were smashed, pic- tures were rent, candlestick ornaments and hosts from the high altar were thrown down and trampled under foot. Church furniture and images were carried outside and set on fire. Mean- while the sacristan, who had been captured by the anarchists, escaped and called the police and republican guards, who promptly arrived with many constables. They were compelled to fall back in order to form up in lines of defense, as the anarchists at- tacked them fearfully with knives. At length the officers began to gain the mastery. A score of anarchists took refuge in an adjacent house. Others intrenched themselves in the belfry ana fearlessly defended themselves by showering missiles on the guards, but finally these were dislodged. Twenty anarchists were arrested, taken to the police station, searched and found to be carrying revolvers, loaded sticks and knives. When the police cleared the church the anarchists had just set fire to the pulpit. The interior of the edifice was a complete wreck. Up to 1 a. m. fifty-six persons have been reported injured, including sey- eral policemen. No one, so far as known was injured by firearms, Near- ly all were hurt by being crushed or trodden under foot. Quiet has now been restored. Paris, Aug. 22, 2 a. m.—Besides St. Joseph's church two cafes were wrecked. At a late hour 2,000 people were on the Bouleyarde de Magenta, in the vicinity of Rue de Chabrot. They were kept constantly moving by the police, who made a remarkable display of force. A lamentable feature of the affair is that it will be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus demonstration and react greatly to the detriment of the chances of acquittal. It is much to be feared that the demonstrations were due to the weakness the government has displayed toward the Dreyfus at- fair. The government's desire to avoid trouble has been misinterpreted by the worse element. Paris, Aug. 22, 4 a. m.—The prefec- ture of police gives the following sta- tistics of yesterday's riots: Three hun- dred and eighty persons were injured; 360 were taken to the hospitals; fifty- nine police agents were wounded, be- sides Commissioners Goutier and Dolsmine. One hundred and fifty per- sons were arrested, of whom eighty are detained in custody. Labori Still Improving. Rennes, Aug. 22. — M. Labori was able to take a walk in the garden and attend important business, but he re- ceived only Cel. Picquart. His gen- eral condition continues favorable, Mysterious Shooting. Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—While driv- ing with his family through Holmes- burg, a suburb of this city, Frank Radéliffe was killed by a bullet fired by some unknowf person. Police are investigating the mystery. Killed His Brother-in-Law. Philadelphia, Aug. 22. — Edward FP. Rich of Schnus, Otsego county, N. Y., was*shot and killed by William J. Haugh, his brother-in-law.

Decorah, Iowa, Aug. 22—Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning a se- vere wind and rain storm visited this Sec‘ion and did much damage. ‘he blew trees down and numerous sheds and outbuildings were blown over. A section of Stayer’s opera house was lifted off and deposited in the street half a block away, tearing down a pumber of telephone wires as it de- scended. In the Steyer block were also the new lodge rooms of the Elks and club rooms of the German Singing so- ciety. These were damaged consider- ably by water running in where the Toof was blown off. The cornice of the west side of the Lutheran publish- ing house was blown over onto the roof of the building. Pollit & Haff’s ice house was unroofed and badly twisted. A new house being erected by ©. S. Boyce was twisted and about a hundred lights of glass in Simond’s greenhouse were blown in. On the 1ith inst. the latter suffered a loss of over 400 lights from hail. Reports from the country are meager, but in- dicate that a great many wind mills and stacks of hay and grain have been blown over. ARRESTED BY COL. FROST. Culmination of Trouble in the South Dakota Regiment. Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 22.—Senator Pettigrew is in receipt of the following cablegram, dated Nagasaki, Japan, from Dr. R. C. Warne, major and sur- geon of the First regiment, South Da- kota volunteers: “Arrested by Frost; published letter.” This is the culmination of charges made by Warne against Col. Alfred S. Frost, of the South Dakota regiment, in a letter published here last month in which Warne referred to his colonel as a low, contemptiblé cur, looking only to his own interests; that he would gladly sacrifice every man in his regiment for a few dollars in his pocket or a little glory for himself, and that he has no interest in the men except to use them for his own selfish advancement. Whether Col. Frost and Dr. Warne will continue with the regiment to San Francisco or return to Manila is not indicated by the cablegram. In any event it appears that Warne will be court-martialed.

Cain, who attempted suicide at Mankato by shooting himself in the head four times, died of his injuries. Tt is thought an abcess on the brain caused the suicide. Tracy citizens are entertaining prop- ositions for the erection of a new flour- ing mill, which will probably be a much larger and better one than the one recently burned. Johu Koupa committed suicide at-the home of his daughter at Waterville. He was about sixty years old and was probably insane, as he has twice been in the insane asylum at St. Peter.

The sentiment in the vicinity of Hayfield is largely in favor of the change, making it some ten miles near- er. Much bitterness is being manifest- ed in some quarters. J. W. Cure and Nace McKinnon of Farris, representing A. A, White, has just completed a plat of the townsite of Cass Lake, locating the buildings where they now stand.

Still More Counterfeiting. The Secret Service has just unearth- ed another band of counterfeiters and secured a quantity of bogus bills, which are very cleverly executed. Things of great value are always selected for imitation, notably Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for disorders like indigestion, dyspepsia and con- stipation. The happiness of some people de- pends upon their ability to make oth- ers unhappy. «‘For the Sake of Fun Mischief is Done.’’ Avast amount of mischief is done, too, because people neglect to keep their blood pure.
