Russia’s Influence Is Now All-Powerful, but England Has Sent a Fleet of Warships to Make a Dem- onstration at Taku. oe A , _ WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The Dowager Empress of China (Tuen-Tson-Hsi) is now the absolute mistress of 400,000,000 people. She hes deposed the ‘divine ruler’’ over- turned a dynasty, made bargains witn kings and emperors, laughed in the face vf Great Britain’s best statesmen, and Set herself up as the réal and only mogul, Her sway extends from the rising sun to the summits of the mighty mountains over- looking India. The eyes of the civilized world are turned upon her. Her will may precipitate the bloodiest war that man has known. Her whim or caprice may invelve Christendom in the struggle of history. The Dowager 1s now 6 years old, and probably the most brilliant woman in the East. She was a slave when the late Emperor saw her and loved her. In the Orient the King is all powerful, and Princes may marry beggar girls at their will. Tuen’s beauty won her position and power, and her fine brain— scheming through all the years, the real power behind the throne—has atidast :nade her the mistress of the Chinese Empire. The situation in China to-day is this: Dowager is supreme mistress of th: country. King Yu Mei, who was going to reform the antique customs of the kingdom, has fled in precipitation. The who recently took from L! Hung Chang the yellow jacket-—symbol of power—i1s a prisoner in his own palace. The croo xed stick plow policy ts in the ascendant. Russia is backing the Dowager, Li will soon be placed on the throne of power once more. Pekin is freer, apparently, to- day from the impress of Western civili- gation than ever. Great Britain her glorious trade prospects vanishing, and with them the United States sees her own hope of cammerce in China dwindling. The millitancy of Russia and the potism of China have joined hands understand each other. What will result? Studenta of China in gay that Russia can not hold her place in the flowery kingdom against the mareh of Anglo-Saxon progress. It is liberty ver- pus slavery, and liberty must win. But there are men here who freely predict the most bloody war in history and who forward to the slaughter millions Chinese before the question is ane SECS des- look of of Settied.

These dis- closures were made in the presence of sev- eral persons. ‘I am one of those men,” Esterhazy said, ‘‘who soldiers by profession, cling to old mediavel traditions military discipline. When I received an order I obeyed it im- plicitly and without question. I wrote the Bordereau because Sanuherr told me to do so. “I Knew, of Col. purpose it was I was commii- of course, the intended to serve; I Knew ting a forgery, but also knew that all intelligence departments in all countries were run.on precisely the. same lines, and that it was impossible to achieve the sults in any other way. ‘‘In the Von Tausch case, for instance, which made 6o0 great a sensation in Ger- many, Major Von Tausch conféssed to hav- ing committed forgery, adding that that crime was nothing to the infamies the Berlin staff had forced him to ¢ommit in connection with other matters. Therefore, the court attempted to silence him. He ul- t'mately received the minimum punisnment prescribed, and has since been released long before this. time. “It is nearly always necessary to meanu- facture material evidence against spies, be- cause otherwise they would never be pun- ‘shed. The Bordereau having been written, it became necessary to give it the indispen- sable air of an authentic document, as you know it was supposed to have been stolen from the German Embassy. Col. Sehwar- koppen (formerly German Military Attache in Paris), denied ever having seen it. What he said was perfectly true. The Bordereau was handed by an agent of our intelligence department, to the porter of the German Embassy who was a spy in our service. “The porter gave it to another agent named Genest, and by him it was brought to the intelligence department and there docketed and numbered as a document ob- tained from the German Embassy in the usual course. It thus réceived official bap- tism. “It was exclusiyely upon the evidence of the Bordereau that Dreyfus was condemr- The document privately shown to the officers of the court martial was fetched from the war office during the se- cret session, with the object of convincing the judges, should they show sign of wa- vering. It was the letter containing the phrase ‘Ce canille de D.’ ‘“‘Now this letter, which {s genuine, and really was written by Col. Schwarzkoppen, did not refer to Dreyfus at all. The general staff was absolutely aware of the fact that D— was a certain Dollfus, a building con- tractor, who years before had S&ipplied the German attache with plans of the fortifica- tions near Nice.’’ He said the veiled lady who appeared in the case was no other then the wife of Col. du Paty de Clam.

Henry was murdered as was first suggested in a Post-Dispatch dispatch is now universally believed. The Post-Dispatch correspondent went to- day to the Moni Valerien fortress, where Col. Henry met his death, to see the ward- ers who had charge of him and to ascertain the real circumstances of his last moments, as no inquiry worthy the name has been held by the military authorities. At Mont Valerien he could make no statement. The Post-Dispatch correspondent learned from subordinate officials that the soldiers who hed Col. Henry in charge are no long- er at Mont Valerien. They have been or- dered to Algiers, ostensibly as a punish- ment for their inefficient watch upon the prisoner. This is a most suspicious pro- ceeding. It is not a kind of punishment generally imposed for remissness of that kind. The spiriting away of these men is typical of the unscrupulous determination of the general staff. to balk justice wher- “ever it conflicts with iis interests. cxunendput The weakness of M. Brisson, the Pre- mier, over the affair of Lieutenant-Colone! Picquart who is now in secret confinement in the military prison of Cherche Midi, placed there, apparently, without the pre- vious knowledge of the Cabinet and in spite of the fact that he was in the hands of a civil court, has disgusted even his own per- sonal friends who call him a coward and a dolt, while the enemies of a revision of the Dreyfus case accuse him of being a hypo- crite and of having sold himself to a Drey- fus syndicate, an organization which un- doubtedly exists. Gen. Zurlinden, who is once more military governor of Paris, with-the cognizance of Gen. Chanoine who succeeded the latter as Minister of War, acted entirely without ref- erence to the Premier, M. Brisson, who with a majority of his colleagues was completely dumfounded at his proceed- ings. The supporters of the Cabinet de- clare that M. Brisson in order to save the constitution, should dismiss Gen. Chanoine and Gen. Zurlinden and even arraign them for conduct. Only bold action will secure the supremacy of civil law. One satisfactory feature of of Col. Picquart is that office has engaged to give him an open trial, which M. Brisson Itnsisted upon hbe- fore he consented to the prisoner's transfer to the military prison of Midi The friends of Col. Picquart declare that if he is publicly tried he will throw much light upon the whole mystery.

A., who has almost entire charge of the machinery of the army, including the quartermaster’s and the commissary de- partments, was courtmartialed for coward- ice during the last war. Like his chief, (whose dishonorable dis- charge from the army was recommended by Generals Custer and Merritt for absenting himself from his post without leave), Adjt.- Gen. Corbin has a long political record and a short fighting one. He has not since 1864 had command of a regiment of soldiers. He was, nevertheless, in February, pro- moted by President McKinley and practi- cally the whole machinery of the army put in his charge. More than 1000 much coveted appointments as officers in the vol- unteer army, recommended by Senators, Representatives and other influential per- sons, were made upon Adjt.-Gen. Corbin's “) ms In grateful remembrance the Senators rushed through a special bill promoting Corbin to the rank of Major-General, giv- ing him equal rank with Major-General Miles, commanding the army. His treat- ment of Miles since then is h‘story. Corbin was twice court-martialed during the civil war. The official charge of cow- ardice was- made after the battle of Nash- ville, Dec. 15 and 16, 1864. When Col. Thomas J. Morgan took com- mand of a division in the battle of Nash- ville Lieutenant-Colonel Henry C. Corbin became Acting Colonel of the Fourteenth Colored Infantry. The battle lasted two days, Lieutenant-Colonel Corbin was accused of hiding behind seeking safety in the rear of the fighting line.
