The Government Will Not Allow a Renewal of the Scandalous Scenes of the First Trial. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, April 9.—The court-martial | | which met In consequence of the judg- | ment of the high court of appeal to | consider whether it would in its own | name institute fresh proceedings against M. Zola has decided in the af- firmative, and has also passed a reso- | lution asking that an application be | made to the grand chancellor of the | Legion of Honor to have the na- > of | Zola struck off the list of officers in the‘ | Legion. This decision was only taken after a | | long consultation with closed doors | | and after a warm debate.

MEMPHIS, April 10.—General ‘James R. Chalmers, soldier, statesman and scholar, died here this morning, aged 68. He was adier-general in the Confederate Zola and his friends when the decision of the court of appeals was made known. They asserted that the court did not dare to reopen a cause of so | scandalous a nature to a fresh trlal.i wherein no one would be spared. The court-martial would not appear to shrink before such menaces or to dis- vow even in appearance the action of | General Billot, Minister for War, who | instituted the proceedings on his own | initiative. | Zola’s freinds and Zola himself, in an | interview yesterday, expressed satis- | faction at the prospect of a new trial, | but I have good reason for believing | they are mistaken as to the prospect | of fresh scandals. The Government | has fully decided not to allow the scan- | dalous scenes and disturbances that accompanied the first trial to be re- | newed. I give you the opinion of a member of the Government who sald to me: “The Zola trial is a chose jugee. Remember, in France the same | things are not done twic: | BREAKS MANY RECORDS.

Judge Buckles Finds Nothing to Warrant Mercy in Dealing With the Murderer. SUISUN, April 9.—The taking ‘of testimony in the case of Frank Belew, the murderer of his brother and sister at Dixon, was resumed this morning. The defense called T. Johnson and Andrew Rapp, residents of Cherokee, Butte County, of whom knew Belew when he was a young man, and testified that they considered him insane at various times. ted that the defendant was guilty of murder in the first degree, but argued for life imprisonment, stating that the testimony they had in- troduced showed that Belew was a very weak-minded man and at times had shown signs of insanity. In the afternoon the court gave its decision. he had gone as carefully into the evidence as it was possible to do, and both the question as to character and that of weakness of mind had been duly considered. Referring to the evidence as to Belew’'s sanity, Judge Buckles said that most people could look back into their own history and possibly recount some incident in their neighbors’ lives, some eccentric things: but they have grown to manhood with no suspicion of insanity, and that led him to think that the suggestion of an unsound mind came only 27ter such a heinous crime was commit- In fact, any man who would commit such a crime might be said “It may be,” said the court, “that there is a sort of passion that is irresistible that leads them on to crime, but the law can take no cog- nizance of that unless there is an absolute reduction of the faculties of It did not seem from the testimony that anything had been shown indicating such an unbalancing of mind as would relieve the de- Judge Buckles concluded as follows: “There are no mitigating circumstances or anything in my judg- ment that would warrant a jury in determining that Belew’s punish- ment should be imprisonment for life. in this case there are no mitigating circumstances or facts or any- thing whatever which can relieve the The defendant will appear in this have the day fixed for carrying the sentence into execution.” Attorney Clark excepted to the decision on the ground that it wasnot warranted in law by the facts and circumstances.

Crushing of Ore Will Be| Resumed at the End of Thirty Days. Condensers to Be Put in to Prevent the Poisoning of Timber Around Keswick. Special Dispatch to The Call. | REDDING, April 9.—The smelters ot1 the Mountain Copper Company at Kes- | wick, six miles from this city, will be | closed to-morrow for a period of thirty | days. It is announced that the cause | of the shutdown is a shortage in cal- | cined ore. Operations at the mine and | at the roasting plants will be continued | as usual. In the meantime needed re- pairs and improvements will be made. A rumor is in circulation that the | shutdown is for the purpose of nutting in appliances with which to condense the poisonous fumes and gases which haye destroyed vegetation for miles be- | yond the great plant. A few weeks ago | a special agent of the Government made an exhaustive examination fmto | the damage done to standing timber and vegetable life in general, and it is | understood thathisreport was unfavor- | able to the company. According to ru- mor it is surmised that the Govern-| ment has taken action compellin~ the | company to put in condensers, and that the shutdown is the result. | The closing of the smelters will have | no effect at Iron Mountain, for the | mine is behind in the ore supply, not | that ore is not there, but because the | company’s railroad haul it. Over 600 tons of ore is the daily output of the mine. It is said that during the shutdown the company will make arrangements for procuring a permanent summer supply of water. The rainless winter has left the creeks perfectly dry, when in ordinary seasons a good head of water would be ‘flowing until late in summer. : MAHMOUD PASHA’S ARMY IN DISORDERED FLIGHT.

CROP PROSPECTS IN SANTA CLARA VALLEY. Outlook Shown to Be Much Better | Than Was Anticipated Early | in the Season. SAN JOSE, April 9.—Reports made by members at a meeting of the San Jose Grange show that there will be a good | yield of fruit in Santa Clara County this season. It was the consensus of opinion that the outlook was --uch better than had been anticipated. There will be a full crop of prunes, a light crop of peaches, | a fair crop of cherries and in .ae foothills a good crop of apricots. If the second blossoms now upon the apricot trees of | the valley set, as it Is expected they will, | there will be a fair erop of that fruit in the valley. Hay and grain are sadly in need of rain, but should there be a good downpour during the.fresent monta these crops. will be very fair, MOBBED BY RITUALISTS Thrilling Climax in the Crusade of John Kenzil. Seizes a Crucifix in St. Cuth- bert’s Church as a Protest Against “Pcpery.” During the Most Painful Scene That Followed the “Reformer” Was Roughly Handled. LONDON, April 9.—The anti-Ritual- ist crusade of John Kengsil, the lay- man who on January 15, 1897, caused a the election of Dr. Mengel Creighton as Bishop of London in succesion to the Most Rev. Frederick Temple, now Archbishop of Canterbury, on the ground of Dr. Creighton’s alleged de- sire to “undo the work of the Reforma- tion by introducing the trinkets ot Rome, etc.,” has been especially vigor- ous during Holy Week, culminating in extraordinary scenes in St. Cuthbert’s Church yesterday (Good Friday), where, as customary during the past years, the conduct of the service con- sisted in chanting St. John’s story of the Passion on the same lines as the Oberammergau play, the officlating clergy taking the roles of Christ, Pilate and Caiaphas. One of the principal features isknown the crucifix was being removed from the altar to the steps when the clergy, acolytes and in pairs, prostrate themselves and kiss | the figure of Christ.” | At the tail of the procession was Mr. | Kenzil, surrounded by a body of | friends. They advanced to the altar | steps; but, instead of kneeling, Ken- zil horrified the congregation by sud- | denly seizing the crucifix, raising it aloft and frantically rushing toward the door, shouting: “In the name of | God I denounce this idolatry and Popery in the Church of ingland. May | God help me.” | A most painful scene ensued. A crowd of people surrounded Mr. Ken- zil and struck him and whirled -ith him, one man going so far as to thrust | a handkerchief into Mr. Kenzil’smouth in order to gag him. Finally the con- | gregation rescued the crucifix and the police entered the church and arrested Mr. Kenzil, | SALVABLE TAKES THE MONTGONERY Speclal Dispatch to The Call.
