The fire is bound to start. So let them light it and allow it to burn out quickly. War is better than the present state of af- fairs. Business is ruined and the pub- lic treasury is drying up. Chamber- lain Is trying to ruin the country.” These speeches and others attacking Cecil Rhodes were loudly applauded by the house and by the public. The debate continued throughout the | afternoon. Mr. Tosen, who declared that Sir Alfred Milner's reply was tantamount to a declaration of war, read a telegram from the field cornet of the Pietreitief district stating that the people there would rise in rebellion if President The chairman called Mr, Tosen to or- der for saying that the Jameson raid- ers ought to have been hanged. J. M. M. Walmarans, one of the non- official members of the Executive Coun- cil, counseled prudence and caution. He said it would be wise for the Raad to decide whether the republic should con- cede further negotiation or not. In the course of the debate Mr. Dutoit insinuated that Mr. mberlain was intoxicated on the occasion of his re- cent famous “garden party speech” at | Highbury, his Birmingham residence, | and he added that if Mr. Chamberlain the Transvaal would give him “Maus pills,” which would be a good purga- tive. He urged the house mnot to be frightened by the show of sending out British troops, remarking that Mr. | hamberlain must remember that when a war had once started he would have to fight the whole of Afrikander- dom, The chairman remonstrated with Mr. Dutoit, observing that he thought the members had gone too far. Mr. Tosen asked whether the Gov- ernment considered Sir Alfred Milner's telegram a declaration of war. Mr. Wolmarans replied that person- k so, adding that plicable to the Raad. Wolmaraps told President Steyn of the Orange Free State has said that Portugal must be called to account for stopping the passage of ammunition. President Kruger, who was greeted with loud cheers, began his speech by egaying that might was not right, but | that right was might and he knew the Lord ruled and was righteous and | would give a good judgment. President Kruger d: “The allens have b offered equal rights with the | burghers, but have refused them. Mr. Chamberlain is striving to get the | franchise, which the outlanders do not | but what he r i is | 3 of the are willing to co for the sake of peace, but will never sacrifice their independence.” After eulogizing Mr. Gladstone’s ac- sion in 1881 as a noble deed, President Kruger said that if it now came to fighting the Almighty would be the arbiter. He urged the ! members of the Raad to show modera- | tion, reminding them that the reply from Mr. Chamberlain was en route, and pointing out that if the proposal for a commission were agreed to, the republic_would send - delegates to further discuss matters, and, if possi- ble, to make peace. The speeches following the Presi- dent’s were more moderate in tone and the Raad rose without passing any resolution.

EFFORTS TO INDUCE EAGAN TO RETIRE Friends of His Possible Successor Seeks in Vain to Get the General Out of the Way. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—FEarnest ef- forts have been made without success to get Commissary General Eagan to make application for retirement. General Eagan is now a restdent of Hawalii, where he has a large plantation, but is on'a visit to New Yotk. He was suspended with full pay until retirement, and his reason for refusing to apply to go on the retired list is believed to be the loss of money he would suffer. Under the law he would have to retire on three-fourth pay, which would amount to $4125 per year, instead of $5500, so that he would lose $6§75 in the \“1'\'9 years remaining to him on the active st. Friends of Colonel John F. Weston, act- ing commissary general of subsistence, have been endelavoring to get Eagan's consent to retirement. I have been told they have shown their willingness to make up the amount the former commis- sary general would lose by making formal application _for retirement. General Eagan has declined, however; and from | present indications proposes to block the way of Colonel Weston. The President deeply regrets now that he did not take action before suspending General Eagan, which would insure an application from that officer for retirement. As it Is now | Colonel Weston is performing the duties og commissary general and receiving pay | and emoluments of a colonel of subsis- tence in the department. In other words he is_serving General Eagan's sentence The President is helpless, however, and General Eagan can only be retired when he reaches the age of 62 years or upon his own application. |AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA ARE QUIETING DOWN Nevertheless the Department Will Not Cancel the Order Sending the Detroit to La Guayra. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Official ad- vices received from Caracas indicate that the cdndition of affairs in Venezuela is not o0 disturbing as the private information received yesterday indicated. It is stated positively in the message received to-day that matters looked more encouraging for the Government. This, however, has caused no change in the de- partment’s intention to order the Detroit to La Guayra, and it is expected that she will sail from' Philadelphia for that port.

The Government is not only fearful regarding Rennes, but is particularly fearful regarding Paris and other large towns where passions have been heated and the verdict, whichever way it is given, is practically certain to give rise to trouble.

Captain Dreyfus will not be brought present at the meeting of the judges, but when the courtroom has been cleared by the gendarmes, which will be done as soon as Colonel Jouaust con- cludes, the reading clerk of the court | will proceed to the room where Dreyfus | will be waiting and read to him the | verdict in the presence of a couple of gendarmes. The public will thus be robbed of the spectacle of his emotions, which are bound to be most profound, whetbher family or back to the penal seltlement. The verdict may be a condemnation. an unequivocal acquittal or a form of acquittal that would be equivalent to the Scotch verdict “‘not proven.” The last will be the case if the judges should pronounce against him by a vote of four to three. That is. he would be freed, even though the judges in his favor should be in the minority. But thig, naturally, would be very unsatis- factory, as he would bear the stigma for the rest of his days. Captain Dreyfus thus has five chances against the prosecution’s three. Unanimity, six to one. five to two, four to three or three to four will set him at liberty, while unanimity. six to one or five to two will convict him. If convicted, the judgment will be car- ried to the military court of appeals. which will be a formal matter. The special court will only quash the in- dictment and order a retrial if it should be established the present court-mar- tial has erred in a matter of procedure. This is in the highest degree improb- able. The Court of Cassation will have also the right to order a retrial 'if it should decide that the court-martial has deviated from its instructions. This is the only loophole for Dreyfus, and his friends will undoubtedly fight this point tooth and nail. Extracrdinary measures have been taken to spirit Dreyfus away, whether acquitted or recondemned. His de- parture from Rennes will be enveloned in the same mystery as was his arrival. - CARRIERE DEMANDS DREYFUS’ CONVICTION RENNES, Sept. 7.—At the opening this morning of the fourth day of_ the fifth week of the second trial by eourt-mar- tial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the ar- tillery, charged with treason, M. Labori, leadng counsel for the defense, an- nounced that he had received a semi-offi- clal intimation that Colonel Schwarzkop- pen, the former German military attache at Paris, and Major Panizzardi, the for- mer Italian military attache at Paris would be unable to appear personally be- fore the court. Counsel, therefore, pro- posed that a rogatory commission should be telegraphed to receive the depositions. M. Paleologue of the French Foreign Of- fice and Major Carriere did not oppose M. Laborl’s application. After M. Labori had submitted his ap- plication the Chief of Detectives, M. Cochefort, deposed favorably regarding the attitude of Dreyfus when Colonel du Paty de Clam dictated the bordereau to him. The clerk of the court read a letter from Captain Humbert to the effect that Dreyfus had expressed a keen desire in 1894 to enter the statistical section of the office, and saying that he met Dreyfus once carrying some voluminous packets of Before our ‘‘Yeargood’’ clothing leaves our workrooms it is subjected to a careful test for any imperfections that might not have come to view in the making—the buttons, the linings, the seams, the but- tonhcles, the pockets and all are properly passed upon.
