PARIS, Nov. 13.—The allegation that Alfred Dreyfus, former captain of the French artillery, was falsely accused and convicted by a court-martial of selling French military plans to the agents of a fcrei n Government continues to be widely discussed in Paris and turoughout France. From a person who is in the counsels of the family s correspondent tere learns that their presentation of tue | prisoner’s case to the French Govern- ment, which caused the present agitation, reveals a thrilling romance connecied with | the gang of so-cailed journalistsand stock- | jobbers who be:ei the late Max Lebaudy, the willionaire conseript. It is cizimed the documents Dreyfus | was charged with seliing to Germany | were never really soid to the agents of | that country, but were prepared in imita- | tion ot Dreyfus’ handwriing to biack- mail him, bis wife being a wea:thy woman and he hmself in good circumstances. The plot, it was iurther claimed, was con- ceived in 1893, wh n the wave of Hebrew- baiting swept over Europe. Dreyius is of Hebrew extraction, and these jickals of Parisian scciety, casting zbout tor funds, | determined to *‘bleed this wealthy Jew.” A beautital adventuress, whose hou-e was the resort of 8 number of French officers and foreign diplomats, is said to have #ced as a go-between in these shady tions, vitation Dreyfus was a frequent visitor in her house. ln due course of time the p an for the mobdilization of the French army, whica had been drawn up | in a bandwriting which cleverly imitated that ot Dreyius, wus produced, and money | was demanded ' for 1ts surrcnder. Drey- fus, it1s said, refused to puy the sum de- | mande i, knowing that tne purchase of | tne document would be an admission of bis puilt and would furnish ground for tuture extortion, and beingaware that the #ct that Le had been intimate with the woman, who herself was a party to the piot, would be considered the strongest evidence of his guilt, = Contivuing, the fiiena of Dreyius | family exp.ains that the newspapers whose attuches were concerned in the plot bave constantly maintained a war avainst Dreyfus even up to the present t me, and in consequence the prisoner's | wite and familv are obliged to keep se- | cluded.

Federal Authorities Have N& Ground Upon Which to Interfere. People of Neva:da Sa'lsfled That the Boy Should Not Be Punished. Special Dispatch to THE CALL CARSON, Nov. 18 —The late action of the County Grand Jury in ignoring the charge against Julian Guinan for the kill- ing of Charles A. Jones has brought out no new features in the las: twenty-four bours. There was a :umor to the effect that the United States Grand Jury would take action in the matier, but the rumor seems to have litile or no ground. At- torney William Woodburn, who defended Julian Guinan, was interviewed by Tue CaLL correspondent this evening, and he said: he matter is settled. The United States Grand Jury will hayve no grounds to act on. It is entirely outside of its jurisdiction. It is not like another case that it had action on lately, from the fact that the deceasel wasnot killed on Government ground. “‘The only hope tnat action could be had by the U ed States Grand Jury wouid have been in case the late Uniteld States District Autorney had been killed while on a mussion of official business at ihe time he met bis death, His letter to Miss Guinau proves that this was not the case. On the contrary he was on an errand anytbing but lezal, and he met h1s death in such -a course. Neither the Uaitea States Grand Jury nor the county will have any further action in this matter. 1t is setiled and the boy has been exon- erated.’” Dr. Guinan and District Attorney Mc- Gowan met this evening, and had atak over the ou‘come an | any probable future action. Aitorney McGowan admitied that it was a practical impossiility to ever have convicted the boy 1n this county, and further that the men who represented the Grand Jury were the prominent busi- ssand representat ve men of thecounty. Thnis being the case Mr. McGowan con- ceded that it was useless to look for any action from that or any other source in this matter. The verdictof the jury has been in strict touch with the feelings of the people, and i. 18 regarded as the only feasible outcome of a very disagreeabie mattsr, Sheriff Kinney said to-night that he thought that the matter was adjusted and the affair had ende jor the best. Tne outcome is entirely satisfactory to the peo- pie of the county, and as far ae th-y are concerned the legal vearings of the case are at an cnd JAPAN HAS ALLKACTIONS The Late American Consul at Apia Re- turns Via the Orient. The Mariposa arrived yesterday from Austraia and Samoa, but Wilham Churchill, the ex-Armerican Consul-Gen- eral at the latier place, was notamong the passengers. No one was very much surprised at this, for though it was known that the recently appointed Consul, Mr. O<borne, had gone down to reiieve Mr. Churchill, it was hardly expected t:at Mr, Churchill would come as !ar as Sin Fran- ci-co with the steamer. As a matter of fact the late Consul and his wife left the Mariposa at Honolulu, s'ating thai it was their intention to go to Japan. There were reasons, largeiy matrimonial, for taking tbis round-atout route 10 the States. Ii is believed thai these wedded compications were the cause of Chuchi l's carly withdrawal from his pleasant post In March last Mrs. Eugenia K. Holmes, who claims 1o e the ex-Consul's first wile, submitted, throush Senator Perkins, a long -tate- ment to the authorities at Washington. ried her by legal contractin Novemuver, 1886, and afier living with ber lor twelve montns, deserted her in favor of another lady, wiho hapvensd to be the wife of an Oukiand gentleman. This scandal naturally annoyed the Washington people, and without ex- pressing any opinon on the merits of e ca-e hev arranged for Churenill’s edy withdrawal. This was all the more easy, since he was an appoiniee of the Ceveland adminisiration, and the Repuclicans were pledged to a radical cuange in the Unied States policy to- ward the 8outh Sea Islands. Thouxk Caurenili’s stay in Samoa was so short, but littie over a year, he made bimself very popuiar among the few whites who live in that out-of-the-way spot. His genial manners and brilliant pleasant social companion, though, offi- cially, his conduct was not so pleasing o his brother Consuls. Samoa is practicaily governed by a cousular board, consisting of the represeniativss of the ihree treaty powers—the United S ates, England and Germany. Nomurally there is a native King, but in reality the Consuls, backea up by the men-ot-war, hate to control the nauves and check the rebellions whicn are constantly tireatening. Great was 1he indignation of the staid Brivsh and Ge man Consuls when they found that the revresentative ot the Un1 ed States hed been created a Samoan chief of the highest order. Certainly this was a proof ¢! Churchiil’s vopularity among the natives, but 1t was har.ly a digniy 10 be coveted by a ecitizen of the United | States. Fur her, it was rather 1inconm- venient 1o i:ave at the consular board a memter who was pleagea by all the ties of brotherhood to take the part of the people whose chief he had b:come. In sciepting the honor Churcuil had bur- ! dened himseif with a greater responsibi.- ity than he expected, especially when the names which the grateful Simoans be- stowed upon him are. considered. His or- dinary or evervday working name wes Venivenia, of toe town oi Laalit. But this was only a common, or garden tit the war name, 1he one of real dignity, needed to be handled wirth care lest it should go off and exploie. Churchili was the on'y white man in the group who could say 1t straight off, something iike this: “Lo oitumuasumaiia aiuatan.'’ There was also a third name, intended cnly for abusive purposes, tothrow atone’s oppouent's head in a spirit of anger, but it was so iong that no one cver succeeded in mastering the intricaciesof its spelling. f RSO WILL NOT INTERFERE Governor Budd Holds Aloof From the Prison Directors’ Fights. Seversl months ago the Manu'acturers’ and Producers’ Association had a special committee sent to the presidentof the State Prison Diractors, Robert Fitzgerald, for information as to why the board pur- chased Australian coal at $5 30 per ton in- stead of getting the domestic article at a cheaper rate. Tue answer was not satis- factory to the commnittee and considerable cerrespondence followed, which ia time ¢rew to a decitedly personal nature. The president of the association, J. W. Kerr, took some of Mr. Fitzgerad’s replies as insulling, and he wrote 1o the Governor 1o ask 1f the chief executive of the State ap- proved of the position taken by the presi- dent of the prison board. After much de- lay Governor Buda sent along letler to the manufacturers, in which he deciines ‘ointeriere in any d fliculties that muy exist between the two bod.es, and amonyg other things says: My powers as to said body, other than filling vucancies, are simply supe: vitory, and while Imay require information from if, it 1s infor- mation 10 myself as Governor.

PASSED BOGUS CHECKS. Edward Rosenf:ld, a Boy From New York, Arrested for Forgery. Jerry Collins, a Young Laborer, Charged With Passing a Fiotitions Check. Edward Rosenfeid, a toy 20 years of ace, had a charge of !lorgery Looked against him at the Ciiy Prison yesterday by Detective Ross Whittaker and Police- man W. Coleman. He urrived bere from New York abou: six weeks ago with $1:0, which he bor- rowed, intending, as he says, to go to tue Kiondike. His money wassoon spent, and he resorted to passing fictitious checks upon storekeepers to replenish his purse and enable him to have a good time with “'the buys.” November 10 he bourht a coat for §6 foom J. J. Bolger, 142 Third street, and ave him in payment a check for $10 on the First National Bank, purporting to be sizned by Police Commissioner Gunst. He got the coat and $4 change. Two duys later he bought a pair of trousers for $2 from the Balawin Clothing House and handed them a check for §L purporting to be aigned by J. H. Tarie.l a traveler for n New York shoe tirm. This time he wa §10 .n pocket. His last trunsaction was on November 15, when he cot Frank Mo:s to cash a check for $15, also bearing the forged signature o. Tarreil. Edwara savs his fatheris E.

Tue police will communicate with the authorities in New York to ascer- tain if B tward 1s telling the trath. Jerry Collins, a laborer, 27 years of age, is another victim of the bogus check babit. Twodays ago he went 10 the sa- loon of Timothy O'Connor, 33 Third stree, and asked him (o cash a check for $18 50, The check was drawn on the Wells-Fargo Bank, payable to Jerry Collins, and signed J. A. Forderer. He got the money, but when Connolly presented the check for payment he wus informed thai it was wor. hless. The police were notified. and Policemen J. J. O'Miara and T. C.

Decidedly tbe most interesting consign- ment conveved by the steamer Coptic, which sailed for China and Japan yester- day, isa group of seven magnilicent stal- lions of the finest pedigree and the most perfect form physically that could be found in all the famous biue grass region. The stallions were purchased in Lexing- ton, Ky., by Y. Matsumals, the repre- sentative of Japan and exporting manager of the great Japanese Trading Company, which has branches all over that countr; besides the one in New York. The ani- mais are all dark bay and none are le: than 15} hands in height., Taeir averase weight 1> 1000 pounds, snd their cost when denivered in Yokohama will be above $4500 each. The seven are named: Thennis Dey, Fernlani King, Cupid, Welton Kine, Wellsioke, which has record of 2:23; Boddeker, raised by Major McDowell, and Forrest Beau. The most va.uuble of the horses is Cupid, which cost nearly $5000. The lowest price of any of the lot i- $3000. These stallions will be crossed wiih mares from the union o! Hungarian with the native breed of horses, with a view of pro- ducing a progeny uniung the best quali- ties of the finest breeds o’ American and Euronean stock. For this purpose the Keniucky horses most celebrated for do- cility were selected. Cupid, Welton King and Willstose were purchased for the imperial stabe- and the other four for the Agricultural Department of the empire, ultimately to urnish cavalry stock. Mr. Matsumaio said that upon the istue of this experiment depends a large future demand for American siock. Heretofore Japan has bought in Hungary, where de- scendants cf the Arabian breeds are to be found and where prices are much lower then for similar American breeds, but the result bas not been altogether at hoped for, and a commission was ap- pointed to purchase spacimens of the best breeds to be fovnd in the United S:iates, and :he yresent snipment is the result. Another year, Mr. Maisumato said, a larger number would be bought, and it satisinctory siock could be found in Cali- fornia th's’ State would get the trade, as it wasmanifestly the interest of the Japan Government to ouy in the nearest market. —————— WILL LEAVE ANGEL ISLAND, Battery D, Cap: Humphreys, dered to Transf.r to San Diego, It seems that the Government has de- cided that a change of air is a great aid to the soidter.

In about two days, ac- cording to the orier, tne company must be ready to move to San Diego.
