FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1899, 8 " ANTI-DREYFUSARDS PLAY THEIR LAST CARD AND LOSE | 'THE PRESIDENT GETS AN ARMY Agrees to Compromise on Hull Bill. Leaders Harangue and Urge Troops to o exms session now March to the Elysee and Save France, But Only Succeed in Getting PARIS, Feb -Have the anti-Drey- | fusards played their last card? M. Paul Deroulede to-day made an effort to suborn the army and signally fafled. - He is now biting his nails in Rivoli barracks with a call at the depot awalting an exit and trial before the Haute Court in prospect. MM. Habert and Millevoye were also arrested. The Figaro gives the following version: *At 5 o’clock M. Deroulede was at the head of the Ligue des Patriots and the Semitic committ in the Place of Nations, ‘when General Roget, formerly M. Cavaignac's Chief Cabinet, irned from the Faure funeral at the head of a brigade of infantry. The league cheered M. Deroulede, and MM. arcel and Habert placed themselves ide the general, who shook hands with M. Deroulede, who is an old friend. M. Deroulede exclaimed: ‘I hope you will march to the Elysee. France with you. You must save the un- of re- b happy country. The league is with you.’ . The general did not reply, but con- tinued to march along the Boulevard de Diderot, followed by M. Deroulede and patriots, who perhaps thought of going to the Elysee via the quays. At Rue Rivoli they were aisillu- sioned. The troops went up to the barrac The league stopped, while M. Deroulede and M. Habert followed to the barracks and harangued the soldiers, repeating save us from anarchy and Dreyfusards. A general who will save the country will deserve well of France. ““The gene! : ‘Go out or I will close the g: prisoners.’ All right, we are your prisoners ahd remain with you.” The gates were then closed.” In another version M. Deroulede merely followed General Roget into the bar; s and on his refusal to go out was detained with M. Habert. cording to the first reports from Prefecture of Polic the Ligue des riots, which had ndezvous in the de la Republique at 3 o'clock, when prevented from the Place de la Ba police. The league marched to Place des Nations, deaded by MM. Deroulede, F , Casies and Mille- voye Com d’Aulan. Then find- ible to'reach the ceme- 1e, they abandoned the plan the regiments under Gi Roget passed with much che 1g. MM. Deroulede and Habert fol- wed the troops into the barracks and used to go out when told by the -neral and colonel, who urged them » withdraw. | “We come here in the sanctuary of French ar to shout ‘Vive nece!’ ‘Viv rmee!” and will only | n forced by the police.” colonel tried again. It was use- he took them into a room and ned to the Military Governor, | formed the Prefect of Police. The Prefect replied: nce they want to stop, leave them till they are tired and-go away.” | The Figaro says this is a most prob- | able version. e LAST SAD HONOR | TO FAURE’S MEMORY% Good Order Maintained During the| Funeral Procession, but Riots | Occurred at Night. , Feb. 23.—Crowds anxious to wit- | < the funeral procession which was to the remains of the late President from the Elysee, where they had ng in state since Friday last, be- le at an early hour to-day e of the route to be followed Palace to Notre Dame Cathe- | Faure the Some of the people took up posi- from dral. at midnight and at § o’clock dense | had gathered alwv‘.f the ysee and the Place de la Con- Arrested.

It was a ma nificent car, with large black plumes and a dome decorated with silver stars.

The | whole route was lined with troops of all arms and was also guarded by police. The procession proceeded slowly toward the cathedral, the crowds reverently standing with bared heads as it passed. The people in the crowds doffed their hats respectfully. to President Loubet, who saluted the flags of the regiments lining the route. When the procession emerged upon the. Quai de la Megisserie, frenting part of the lle de la Cite, the bells of Notre Dame began to toll, and when, the cortege reached the square in front of the athedral, otherwise the Place du Parvis Notre Dame, senting arms as the casket was taken thedral. The catafalque in the cathedral was an e structure in the center of the transept. It was over seventy feet high and was surmounted by an imposing can- opy to the height of 130 feet, from the four corners of which huge black palls, covered with silver stars bordered with ermine, were stretched the four pillars and to the transept. Upon the steps of the catafalque were twenty lamps, each with thirty _lights, twenty immense torches and 150 large tapers, giving the catafalque a most impressive appearance. The ceremony at the cathedral was most | solemn and impressive.

The casket was received at the door of the cathedral by the archpriest and the clergy of the parish, and was borne to a catafalque in the center of the building. The cathedral was draped as in the case of the funeral of esident Carnot, black hangings with silver stars and borders and trophies of tri-color flage veiled with crepe. Cardinal Richard sat facin Loubet and the choir was filled with arch- bishops, bishops and other prelates. Low mass was celebrated. The chanting and e impressive in their effect. Richard then agprnflchml the y officers and surrounded by the clergy, and pronounced the absolution to the strains of the organ nd the al of the cathedral bells. The ket was then borne to the portal, accompanied by the clergy, and replaced on the funeral car, after which the pro- cession wended its way to the cemetery Pere la Chaise, where it arrived at 3 o'clock. The gates and walls of the.ceme- tery were draped with black and silver, in the manner adopted at the cathedral, the palace and at other places. The wreaths were deposited at the foot of the wall and the casket was laid on a cata- falque at the entrance to the cemetery. Eulogistic speeches were delivered b Senntor Chauvead and MM, Deschanel, Dupuy, Lockroy and Guillan. The troops present then deflled before the catafalque. There was no disorder anywheré. The crowds were calm and respectful. The police arrangements throughout were admirable.

The Demo- | crats refused to agree to this. |GROSS IGNORANCE The Kind of Ignorance the Soldier | Boys Are Fighting With Rifle Balls. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. MANILA, Jan. 20.—Education among the Filipinos is extremely backward. The few who have any education at all either acquired it from prejudiced or meager sources, for the little knowledge they Philippines is so distorted that it is gro- tesque. Even Aguinaldo and his advisers are not exempt from the common misin- formation. American occupation so far | has done scarcely nothing to enlighten them. They are set in their convictions, are naturally proud, are suspicious of all and difficult undertaking to remove their misinformation and the prejudices of gen- erations. The only =chools in all the Philippine group are confined to the city of Manila. | There are not more than ten for the edu- cation of the natives, and they are con- ducted by the Catholic church. All of them but one are primary schools, where nothing higher is- taught than reading, writing and elementary arithmetic, com- bined with religious instruction. The sin- gle high school includes branches corre- sponding with those of the average third- grade public school in the United States. ‘The English residents of the city maintain a very good school for their own children, as the Germans do also. But the educa- tional efforts of the Spaniards seem to have been restricted to imparting the least possible information with the most possible prejudice and superstition. As an illustration of Ph‘ll[.?lne enlight- enment, the common idea of the world’s geography is a good example. Every Filipino who knows anything about other parts of the world than his native prov- ince or village will readily tell you that China has the largest area of territory and the greatest number of inhabitants of any nation in the world. It is so large that it cannot be measured and contains {leclple that _they cannot be counte ‘rance and Spain are next to China in the extent of their territory, but incomparably superior to China in re- finement, education, wealth and religion. Close by the side of France and Spain stands Italy, the home of the Great Father, who alone of all men can commu- nicate directly with God. Germany is a country north of France and Italy, and is inhabited by the de- scendants of men who but a few genera- tions ago made their home with wild beasts. The size of Germany is unimpor- tant, as the Germans are not a very re- fined people. They go to France and Italy for instruction in music, art, language and astronomy, and a majority of them are cursed with a false religion. England is a very small nation, but on account of its favorable climate, rich bankers make it their home. Those rich bankers have had many powerful warships built for their own grotecuon. They hire seamen to run the ships for them. The United States resembles China in extent of territory, but is small enough to be measured. The Americans in part are the descendants of adventurous Euro- eans who came over years ago and 'ound inexhaustible mines of gold. Those gold mines have made America one of the richest countries in the world, and all White Americans have more money than they know what to_do with. The early immigrants from Europe intermarried With the native Indians, then brought Millions of negroes from somewhase to do their work for them and gradually mixed With the negroes also. The result is that the great bulk of Americans are a mix- ture of Buropean, negro and Indian blood. The few whites in the United States are very well educated because they possess wealth to obtain good educations in France and Italy. Most of the Ameri- cans, however, are illiterate and poor, having_but receml{ emerged from slav- ery. Like the English, the Americans are devoted to a false religion, except a few Sho have been favored with special ad- Vantages in education. The white Ameri- vans are good fighters, but there are so few of them that they have their hands full most of the time in suppressing in- surrections among the millions of negroes and mixed breeds, as well as in keeping the Indians out of the cities. ; Schools for Filipinos are held in rooms attached to churches. Seats and benches are not provided as in American schools, but ‘the pupils sit on_their feet on the floor. All study aloud, and in conse- uence the school room is & bedlam of con- S0 many government would attempt to take § g | 'usion. No school is permitted to have more than elghfl?r pupils on its rolis at one time. That is a regulation of the church. Just why it is so cannot be as- certained by Americans.

STOCKTON, Feb. 23.—The burning of a pumping plant belonging to Reclamation District No. 548, at the mouth of Island Slough, has set the peat land of the reclaimed island on fire. Sparks from the hot blaze set fire to the peat ground in varicus places. .A report from Terminus to-day says that the ground is still burning in patches as large as a quarter of an acre and that there are twenty or thirty spots thus burned. It was said that the fire in the groynd was un- der control and would be extinguished in three days. In fighting peat fires trenches are dug around the burning spot down to the water. When the fire reaches the trench it plurns out. There are so many spots ablaze now at Island Slough, however, that it is hardly likely the trench diggers could work fast emough in this way, and the probability is the flood gate in-the levee le_belopened at high tide to-morrow to assist in the work of extinguishing the flames. Peat makes as hot a fire as coal, and it takes a lot of water to subdue it. 00000000000000000000000000 are now quoted at 102% bid, the new Cen- tral Pacific 3% per cent gold bonds at $8 bid and the new Southern Pacific gold bonds at 8412 bid. ot Fatally Burned by Matches. SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 23.—Harry Shaw, the 4-year-old son of W. M. Shaw, was badly burned this morning while playing with matches. His right side, arm and hands were fearfully burned.
