' Zola, who @s being prosecuted by the Gov- |ernment as a result of the letter which he | wrote last December to the Aurore, strongly reflecting upon high public officials con- nected with the Dreyfus case, and declaring his belief in the prisoner’s§ innocence, opened to-day in the Assize Court of the Seine. The most keen public interest was manifested in the case. Hundreds of peo- | Ple surrounded the court, anxious to gain admittance. The police measures taken to insure order were most rigorous. The crowds increased in number all the morning. The arrival of Henri Rochefort | was the signal for shouts of ‘‘Vive Roche- |fort,’’ and counter cries of “A bas Roche- fort.’’ Turning in the direction cries, M. Rochefort shouted: “It would seem that with four of you at § francs apiece, the Dreyfus syndicate will not be ruined.” M. Zola, who arrived in a carriage shortly afterwards, Was greéted with vehement shouts of “Conspuez Zola.’’ (Spit upon | Zola.) of the hostile CHIEF ACTORS IN THE FRENCH D Emile | \ 4 RAMA. An individual who shouted “Vive Zola” | was promptly hustled and suppressed. The proceedings commenced at 1 p. m., under the presidency of M. Delagorgue, who announced that the court would be cleared if there Was any demosstration. Although the court Was thronged, quiet was maintained owing tothe knowledge that acompany of republican guards had been placed at the dispgsal of the Judge to preserve order. a While the jury was being selected M. Zola entered the dock. He Was pale. A few cries of “Vive Zola’’ were promptly sup- pressed by the vigorous protests of the ma- jority of the audience. After the reading of the indictment, the Advocate General explained that the charge was strictly limited to the passage in M. .Zola’s letter denouncing court martial. Continuing, the Advocate General said it was imperative to prevent the proceedings from wandering and ‘thus playing into the hands of the accused whose aim it is to get a revision of the Dreyfus affair by a circuitous route.’’ CONCESSION TO ZOLA, The court decided to allow the accused to call_evidence in support of the other ;charges contained in his letter, including ‘the accusations which he made against Col. Paty du Clam and Generals Mercier, (OUNY | y ROIWAND: ; t | the Esterhazy | | } ’ | Boisdeffre, Billot and Pellieux. M. de Le- gorgue read a number of letters of excuse, including one from the Minister of Jus- tice, M. Darlan, announcing that the Min- ister for War, Gen. Billot, had not re- ceived the authority of the Cabinet to tes- tify. M. Delgorgue also read a letter from ex-President Cassimar Pierier, * saying he could not testify as to facts subsequent to | his presidency. Col. Paty du Clam was then called and refused to testify. M. Laborie urged the importance of his testimony adding unless the court ordered the witness to tes- tify he might be compelled to demand «an adjournment until the next sessions. Coun- that, ! ON TO THE KLONDIKE IS THE CRY The Coming Spring Will Witness a Rush Far — Outdoing That to California in’49, carry the thousands that are now preparing todare Alaskan i J The Craze Has Struck St. Louis and in the Next Two Months Fully 1,000 Persons Will Begin the Journey From Here. Already the Klondike rush of 1898 has begun, and in a few weeks’ time an eager army of hopeful men will be congesting all the avenues of travel leading to the Land of Icy Promise. Nothing like it in the history of gold-seeking was known before. The days of’ pale into insignificance beside it. The silver crazes of Colorado, Montana and Idaho seem as nothing in comparison. Even the great rush to South Africa, from which this country happily escaped, was small beside the mighty exodus which is now pre- paring to set forth for gold or death or disappojntment, as the case may prove, to that frozen north country from which such fabulous tales have come. The indica- tions are that 50,000 will set forth from the regions east of the Rocky Mountains, and that the Pacific States may double this tremendous total. To this must be added the hordes Canada and Mexico will send to swell the host ‘and the thousands that will go from Europe. Even South Africa, the land that has made millionaires of a few and beggars of a multitude, will contribute thou- sands of men who have failed to find fortune at the south, but will try again for that elusive, yet ever-beckoning “pile” at the other end of the globe. Men who are watching the situation declare that the only limit to the number of those who will sail for the north from the Northwestern ports will be the limit of transportation facilities. Ships now in commission are carrying 2000 passengers:& week. They can hand when overcrowded, as they will be, 20,000 a month. But this capacity will soon be doubled. Six large steamers are now on their way around the Horn, and others are bulld- ing in the Pacific shipyards, which will add tremendously to the carrying capacity. There will also be sailing vessels without number fitted to carry passengers, and England is making ready to send steamers direct. The Tartar was scheduled to leave Southampton on Feb. 1 for Dyea ty way of Cape Town and Vancouver, the Athene- um will follow on Feb. 10, and there is talk of a weekly service on this route should the business demand it. While the Post-Dispatch here estimates the ~robable number who will go from the United States at 150,000, agents of the transcontinental railroads say 200,000 will be handled by their roads. The Seattle estimate, based on present indications, is 100,000 people before Sept. 1. Steamship agents at Tacoma report that 10,000 Klondikers have already engaged passage on Alaska vessels, and they expect to send 80,000 more from that port In their scheduled capacity. The Chicago offices have booked more than seven thousand passengers who will leave for Alaska before April 1. More than half of these, after careful study, have decided not to go to the Klondike, but to the valleys of other rivers and steams. From the headquarters of the Northern Pacific, at St. Paul, come estimates of sel also said he was not prepared to op- pose a sercret trial, if it was absolutely necessary. But continued M. Laborie, allegation that the matter they were dis- | cussing was connected with State secrets and the national defense was a mere joke. The Advocate General thereupon tested against the national defense called a joke, to which M. Laborie replied that even the Advocate-General, to cast sus- piecion upon his patriotism (Cheers). . The hearing of the case was adjourned at p. m. being hotly STOCK CAR IMP THE TRACK — East St. Louis Telephone Com- munications Cut of. Six double-decked stock cars loaded with hogs en route to the National Stock Yards were wrecked at the Relay Depot in East 'St. Louis Monday morning at 7:45 o’clock. | The accident was caused by the derailing of a car in the center of a train of 2 about four feet from the pinnacle by the momentum, leaving the upper fragment sus- pended by a hundred cros: wires. Telegraph service was n interfered with, but tele- phone connection was cut off with St. Louis and the Relay Depot for several hours. The watchmen’s shanty, a small frame af- fair, turned a complete somersault and the stove, the sole occupant, was smashed to emithereens. Fortunately no fire was built in the stove this morning. It was only a few feet from the Martell House. The wreck occurred at a time when in- bound and outgoing passenger trains are numerous, It interfered with traffic, The collision with the telegraph pole is all that saved the rear end of the wrecked train from dashing into the Re- lay waiting. rooms, which were filled with people.

The rear end of the train was descend- ing the éastern approach to the bridge. The engine was several hundred feet north of the Relay Depot, when Engineer Wickett and his fireman felt the great machine trembie. A terrific crash followed. . Wickett reversed his engine and put on the airbrakes. Looking backward he saw a confused mass of aprnieres car timbers, hogs, broken telegraph pdéles and wires. wo of the stock cars containing porkers were telescoped and lifeless undressed hogs were lying along the network of tracks in great heaps. bach car contained the surviving ones made the ajr resonant with their squealing.

The wonder jis that he was not killed. Beyond a few siight scratches he is uninjured. The coat worn by McGann was exhibited at the Central Police Station Monday and its appearance caused Capt. O'Malley to remark that McGann must bear a charmed life. McGann was on his way home from a theater about 11:30 o'clock, when two young men sprang upon him from the shadow of a post at Twenty-second street and Chouteau avenue. “Throw up your manded. “T will not,” retorted McGann.

The officers, seeing the situation to be desperate, determined to a communication by wire with Gen. ¥ erriam at the next .port to get instruc- tions. The quarters assigned were on a level with the water line. Fifty-one men were expected to spend five days there.

He did not hear them mako threats. MissGrace Coyle, Mr. Guscott’s assistant in the Lattimer school, told the story of the shooting as Mr, Guscott told it. District At- , torney Martin asked her to point out some | Of the deputy sheriffs whom she had seen | sinuation away. that day in Lattimer after the firing. “There are some faces in the front row I can’t see,”’ she said. “They are bent down.” And sure enough the yottng men were bend- ing forward, with their heads inclined and their glances bent upon the floor. The court room crowd laughed. The idea that this was a witness trying to point out men accused of murder did not check their mirth. The young woman went on with her story, blending its tragedy and its trivialities in a weird jumble. She told of her walk among the wounded men. ‘I saw Harry and John Zierdt, two of the deputies,’’ she said. ‘I called them bums. I went on. One man was shot in the back. I asked him if he would have a drink of water. He got up to take the drink and fell over on his face. Some said to turn him over on his’. back or he'd smother. Others said no, if he was turned on his back he’d bleed away faster. “IT saw a deputy named Hess.. I told him to go to Cuba. He smoked his cigar and didn’t say anything. “T said to Deputy Sheriff Frank Clark, ‘You have smilax on your hat. Do you think it’s anything glorious that you wear sm_lax on your nat?’ He said nothing.”’ John T. Lenahan advanced. upon this young school teacher to try to tangle her with cross-examination. She made a pretty picture as.she faced him and awaited the onset. She is perhaps 20 years old, of me- dium height and of good figure. Her cheeks turned scarlet as dhe saw the unfriendly lawyer advancing to the combat that was sure to be polite, but might be deadly. Her blue eyes gleamed. Miss Coyle defended herself spiritedly when Mr. Lenahan asked questions cal- culated to show that’ she had looked.into the courtroom, although witnesses are for- b:idden to enter before they are called. | | Mr. Lenahan’s next question insinuated that she had gone over a list of deputies wth Mr. Guscott in order that she might | this learn them, She enjoyed the fun. This daughter of the ¢coa)] regions seemed to find Mr. Lena- han amusing. He asked herif she had met Matt Long, one of the miners’ prosecut:ng committee. “Yes,”’ she replied, with sudden meek- ness. ‘‘Ha,”’ exclaimed the lawyer with a wealth of suggestion in his tone that here was a witness going te confess that she had been coached. ‘“‘Ha, and why did you meet him, en?” “Because he asked me to go to the op- era,’’ replied the girl, demurely and slowly. The crowd roared with delight. Mr. Lenahan looked as crestfallen as any man should who tries his wit against woman's. He blushed and smiled nervous- a but she brushed this in-| ' F “Why did you. dismiss your pupils on the | day of the shooting?” he asked aimlessly as if he were merely talking to relieve his | / embarrassment. schod] Weeause they were frightened by ' mules passing the schoolhouse The contention of the defense is that the Children heard that the strikers were com- .ing ana bolted for home, because a body of strikers had marched. into Lattimer a few days before and acted riotously. But Mr. Guscott could not be shaken from his theory about the children being frightened by the mules, Dr. Harry M.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The State De- partment officials are exceedingly reticent concerning the Madrid dispatches announc- ing the presentation of a note by Minister Woodford to Premier Sagasta, which elicit- ed a vigorous response, though it is ad- mitted that Gen. Woodford was instructed recentl to make certain important repre- sentations, Certain public officials declare that the message delivered to Premier Sagasta had no reference to war in Cuba, but was a strong note urging a speedy adjudication of the claim filed by Mrs. Ruiz for the killing of her husband. The State Department determined several days ago that all claims for destruction of property should be held in abeyance until the restoration of peace, while those for persona! injuries and loss of life should be pressed. Minister De Lome says he is without in- formation regarding the late Spagish note, He therefore assumes that there ils no foundation for the warlike reports sent out about it.. As understood here, Spa‘n’s last note is a continuation of the correspond- ence begun last fall, and is in direct reply to the note sent by Secretary Sherman about five weeks ago, which Is largely to a discussion of the steps taken by this couptry to prevent filibustering, the purpose being to prove that this country has fulfilled al] its international obligations.

In the report of Our Junketers to the Municipal Assembly it is stated that nearly all of the streets of Philadelphia are well paved, because the street car companies are compelled by the terms of their franchises to construct and keep“in repair from curb to curb the pavements of all streets used by them. Philadelphia has had the discredit of being governed by one of the worst municipal rings in the country. But the ring was not so neglectful ef the public interests as ‘to give away street rail- way franchises. It secured to the city good pave- ments on every street occupied by a street car company. As areturn for the use of a street the least that cam be required of a street railway is the con- struction and repair of the street. If St. Louis had followed Philadelphia’s example the street construction problem would have been of little importance and the whole city could be paved at small cost to the people. ‘ re ooo \ scarching investigation might show that Dingley’s pajamas came from a British even Mr. factory. a — DANGEROUS OBJECT LESSON. A Chicago paper which believes in dealing with the workers as commodittes says that the starting of . hew cotton mill in Alabama by Boston capi- talists should be “an object lesson to the wage- earners.”’ The plant is located on 600 acres of land dona- ted tc the company, with rich veins of coal at the door. The workers in the new mill will work longer hours for 25 per cent less pay than will the - New England operatives. The lesson of this, ‘says the paper in question, fs that the New England operatives would be wise to knuckle down forthwith and not fight against the inevitable. In other words, the basis upon which American workers may expect to be treated is solely as an item of expense. The chattel slave has made way for the commodity slave. Absolutely no conces- ———— #625 are to be made to the fact that the worker ‘ is a living human entity and not a part of the machinery. The lesson is a dangerous one to teach Amer- ican workingmen. When they awake to the full serse of their power in the political fleld, their action may be inspired by the same brutal spirit with which they have been met. Sheol is said to be paved with good inten- tions, and in this respect Sheol has the better of St. Louis. ' > A FEAST OF REASON. “To gild refined gold or paint the lily were wasteful and ridiculous excess.’’ To praise the beauties of the Sunday Post- Dispatch would be quite as superfluous. Every- body saw it. Everybody read it. Everybody was struck by Palma’s article on her observations of the lines in the hand of the mysterious “John Smith,” which may go far ttoward establishing his identity. Sousa’s account of the trials preceding the success of his latest coming opera was especially timely and interesting. Thousands were benefited by the symposium of medical opinion on how, when and where to rest. The new Salvation Army wedding contract was a revelation. Who did not read the delight- ful little romances of the news? Rev. J. W. Shearer’s new alphabet is wonder- fuJ, because of its simplicity, and humanity may yet live to adopt it. Twelfth street, the dream of a great city, was pictured in faultless style. The society page, as usual, was a thing of beauty; the dramatic page ‘Was equally artistic. The Woman’s World was delightful for its dainty color, and the comic supplement was sea. wonable and uproarious. In fact, no feature that goes to make up a great newspaper was slighted. Yesterday’s paper was better than its predecessor. Next Sunday’s will be better still. a> i i — The St. Louis claimant for money loaned the Government at tire time of the Revolution is ap- plying at a bad time. With its struggle to meet the Dingley deficit, the Administration is too poor to be either Just or generous. = = — a a INVENTION CREATING WORK. The outcry against the machine because I!t dis- Places labor has been loud and not without apparent réason. But there is another and 4 brighter side to the shield. An inquiry into how far invention has created new fields for labor would result in @ more hopeful view of the fhture than is widely entertained. One example of the way invention has made it possible for thousands to earn a living in a new trade is worth mentioning. It is in the >production of gas mantles for the 80-called in- ‘candescent gaslights. These mantles little things, but they require skilled labor ‘oe fine machinery to make them. They have only been in use @ year or two, but to-day there are scores of factories turning them out in great numbers. Nine factories in New York City alone produce about 15,000 per day. All mantle factories claim to be working full capacity and overtime, ana the demand is practically limitless. This contains a hint for the worker tn every branch of trade. It is that the man who te will. ing to turn his hand and brain to any new in. 4 i | dustry that comes up will be the successful man. Every workingman who is able ought to keep himself posted on new inventions and be ready to take advantage of openings in new industries such inventions create. a Le > — If the ground hog was out at any time yester day he must have observed how much the great artistic Sunday Post-Dispatch overshadowed all the other Sunday publications. é = -— * ~~ Spiraea +o TWO LESSONS. Two lessons may be drawn by the managers ef the Democratic party in this city from yes- terday’s experience in the attempt to form a Central Democratic Club on the order of New York’s ,Tammany. One is that the Democrats of St. Louis will not stomach a machine organization formed for the purpose of serving as @ permanent caucus to impose the will of the bosses on the voters. Another is that the Democrats of St. Louis cannot be harmonized on the basis of acquies- cence in the control of the party organization by EFrady and his clique. ; Whatever may have been the rights of the case in yesterday’s row and the character and purpeses of the men who captured the Holland Pullding meeting, they represented for the time being a protest against statggehamber proceed- ings to control the Democratic party in the in- terest of the Brady faction. The Brady flasco proved conclusively that so long as Brady is an issue in the St. Louis Democ- racy there will be factions, and that so long as Brady and the Valley Liquor Co. are schem- ing ‘to control the party Democratic harmony will be an unknown element in party councils. a A. Ae. Pando’s cry to God to “help his country” is altogether unnecessary. She can help herself by evacuating Cuba. ———EE a, A Lp ae THE! HAWAIIAN FARCE. Mr. Dole of Honolulu swinging around the cir- cle as President of the Hawaiian Republic is the chief actor in a ridiculous farce. Iiawaii contains 109,020 people, Of these, count- ing nen, women and children, 3,086 are Amer- icans. “President” Dole is President of 109,020 people by the grace of 3,086 men, women and children, who are backed by the power of the United Siates Government. It is here that the farce be- comes serious. As chief of the American oligarchy in Hawali, “President” Dole is a joke. But as chief of an oligarchy planning to retain control of Hawaii through annexation to the United States he is not a joke. The American consumer is likely to fall be- tween two stools and be severely bumped. If he taxes himself to use American products ex- clusively, there will be no imports, and therefore hot enough revenue for the expenses of the Gov- ernment. If, on the other hand, he buys foreign products and increases the Government revenue, the American manufacturer gets no bounty and threatens to go out of business. Mr. Olney has increased the contempt in which he is held by making his Cuban contribution through the Spanish Minister. Is there a strife ketween the old Administration and the new as to which has done the Spaniards most favors?

The change from the universal practice of whip- ping children, while atending school, for the trans- gression of rules, to the management of schools without resorting to this manner of punishment, has been going on for ‘40 years,”’ says Prof. Harrig in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. He is of the opin- fon that the children of those cities and schools which have abandoned the use of the rod, will be- come better citizens than will those trained in the old. way. Dr. Harris, however, does not support this assertion with any statistics. Just here it is interesting to note that contempo- raneously with the retirement of the rod from schools in cities there was a corresponding gradual but marked increase of boldness on the part of the public, manifesting itself in disrespect for existing laws and customs of the land. ~“ Prof. Harris speaks of the bad effect produced on good pupils by whipping the bad. Other friends of public echools claim the herding of good and bad is one of the beauties of the system. It would be better, however. if good children never met bad ones, but there can be no doubt but that the op- portunity of being with well-behaved children is a God-send. to ill-raised ones; and since virtue and vice must come face to face in the public schools, it will more securely fortify virtue to be taught where there is occasion, the salutary lesson, that the way of the transgressor is hard. St. Louis, DR. WILLIAM V. LOFTUS, Questions Answered. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In reply to ‘‘Political Whys’’ of a Democrat (7) in Saturday’s Post-Dispatch, I will answer to the first question: Because the Republicans have a majority in the Senate. Some Republican Senators favor free silver, but are protectionists and believe in a high tariff. The silver men have @ majority in the Senate, but not the Democrats. The eecond and third questions for the same reason. The fourth: Because silver is the main issue. When we have that we will handle the rest. The fifth: Rome was not built in a day.

Sevefal young men, some of whom are not at all engaged in the wholesale dry goods business, give excursions in summer time and have a recep- tion and ball billed to occur or be given in the near future, under the auspices of the wholesale dry goods clerks of St. Louis. The wholesale dry goods clerks of St. Louis have no organization or association of any kind, and these young men are using the title of wholesale ory goods clerks without authority, and the whole- sale dry goods clerks of St. Louis are not responsi- ble for any disorder that may occur at such en- tertainments.

No artist who has appeared in St. Louis this sea- eon has more cause to feel triumphant than Miss Jennie Hoyle. The audience at the Olympio last night not only clapped hands, but cheered; not only pounded on the floor with canes, but called out in | words, “encore! encore!’”’ while from different parts of the house came such expressions as ‘‘splen- did! wonderful!’’ Miss Hoyle’s first number was “Gypsy Dances’’—Nachez. The bow no sooner touched the strings than everyone knew they were to listen to the rare treat of a violinist who per- fectly understood the instrument and could bring ; from its weird sounding-board tones almost human, And she did. Study of technique and method was not thought of. The violin was singing and the audience was electrified. Twice she was compelled to respond to what was almost a roar from parquet, balcony and gallery. They would have had her play a third time, perhaps a fourth, but Sousa waved his baton and the brasses drowned the hand- clappings. The concert as an entirety was the best Sousa has given in.Sst. Louis. Miss ude Reese Davie’s soprano solo was exquisite, reed instruments breathing ae ~perfect ac companiment. Of the band there can be no crit- icism. The gem of its work was an encore piece— the overture to Tannhauser, played softly, delicate- ly, in a manner Wagner never dreamed of, and so arranged by the ‘“‘March King’’ that the reede led the brasses. The verdict was general that St. Louis is to be congratulated in the assurance that Sousa will be at the Exposition next fall. -_——-—-— O—-—_—-——_ The usual large Sunday crowds were at Hopkins’ Theater yesterday afternoon and night. ‘The Silver King’’ was the dramatic offering and it proved to have lost none of its popularity. Ralph Stuart was especially effective as Wilfred Denver. The best of the vaudeville is Charles A. Gardner in. a bright sketch entitled ‘‘Karl in the Fatherland.’’ Mr. Gard- ner introduces some new songs, but his “Sweetest Bunch of Lilacs” is still a favorite with the audi- ence. Gilbert Sarony, the Giddy Girl, and Smith O’Brien, a clever Irish singer and comedian, were among the other entertaining specialists. A number of new living pictures are shown. , A “standing-room-only’’ audience attendéd the opening performance of the popular drama “Down in Dixie’ at Havlin’s. The play is by Scott Marble and since here last it has been featured With a number of good musical sketches, including a brase band. Managers Keogh and Davis say that Varia- tions are desirable and the clever way wee are in- troduced into the drama makes them ee reege s0.c A plantation scene furnisnes the opportunity for buck dancing, rag time and quartette singing and instru- mental music. The drama is full of hair-splitting scenes that cause the gallery to hiss the villain, The latter is attempting to worry a silence fee from the heroine, who has married ‘Judge Coulton” by claiming to have proof that her supposed deceased first husband still lives. This furnishes the plot that keeps the audience guessing until the curtain drops on the closing scene. Prominent in the cast are Rob McWade, Jr., Frank Ambrose, Mark Charles, J. A. Holland, Mabel Florence and Eleanor Broad- ley. oO Fred Irwin's. burlesquers and special company opened at the Standard Theater to two big houses yesterday. The Devaros have a sensational hort- zontal bar act that brings merited applause. Quig- ley Bros. are funny in “McCloskey at the Toil Gate,” and the Harvey Sisters are clever. The Bar- rison Sisters are introduced in a lively operetta entitled “A Night at the Rehearsal” that affords opportunities for much pretty singing and some clever dancing. The benefit of Manager Billy Garen of Havlin’s is on the card for to-night. ‘‘Down in Dixie” will be the attraction, but In addition there will be three epecial features of a particularly local character. he first of these will be a “buck and wing” danc- ing contest between local talent and the pickanin- nies of the company for a gold medal. Loca} dancers have trained with the idea of making a certainty of capturing the medal. Dave Meler will give the best exhibition of bag punching of which he is capable, and it is said of him that he is the best In the world. Little Tillle Herget will give several of her most popular songs and dances as another of the local features. —--— 0-----— The Imperial Stock Company has seldom been seen to better advantage than in “Carmen,” the attraction which Manager Gumpertz presents this week. Besides “Carmen” there are a number of added features which combine to make the theater's offering exceptionally strong. In the third act Mis« Josephyne Newman does @ graceful Spanish dance which earned for her two encores at both perform- Nnees yesterday.

St. Louisan Who Is So Impressed by a Vision That he Wants a “Grub Stake.” Clark Ruesell, in one of his marvelous tales of the sea, describes a dream in which the exact lati- tude and longitude of an island where the heroine was shipwrecked is revealed to Zhe man she is en- gaged to marry. Perhaps the writer of the follow- ing letter is one of Russell’s admirers. He has dreamed, not of an island, but of gold, and this is the way he describes his vision: Editor Post-Dispatch: Sir—In a dream a few nights ago I saw a river of gold. I was witha party of five. I can plainly see the spot, the surroundings and see millions for many. he dream was ‘so ge that I could go blindfolded to the spot. fe arrived at night, where, on account of darkness, we camped, and as the sun rose the next morning we found a shallow stream of nothing but gold—gold in good-sized nuggets, bucketsful, there to be gathered; no digging, plenty of timber and a grand place to camp. I want to go. I want to be taken along with four other honest men, share and share alike, I will agree to do the cooking, repay them for all my expenses and take them to the spot. It means millions to ue all. [I am not crazy, nor am I looking for money\with a gun un- loaded. All parties must be good, healthy men and able to go first-class, with plenty of provis- ions and not afraid to face death. Who will gresecass me to go with them? I have carefully examined a map and find the route we traveled. Do I ask too muchi}to have this published? I will answer all en lemanly lettere.

Frederick Funston, Chief of Artillery in the Cuban Army, was dined by Miss Mary Norris Berry at the Hotel Normandie Sunday. He is on his way to visit his mother in Iola, Kan. He hasn't seen her in two years. “I expect the Cuban war to end by June 1,” Col. Funston says. At the outside limit it cannot last over six months. Cuba is willing to do what is fair in indemnifying Spain for her war expenditures. Cuba expects no help from the United States, Gen. Garcia himself has told me this. The Spanish army is in revolt. Five thousand of its conscript soldiers have deserted. 1 saw twenty-one desert from one company.” “What is done with these deserters?’ “They are put to work on insurgent farms, One has 200 acres. The farms raise vegetables for the insurgent army. You don't hear of our battles. The biggest ever fought on Cuban soll was not reported here. It was the battle of Baymo. It was fought in December. Gen. Garcia's army ef insurgents routed 4509 Spaniards, after a five-hour hand-to- hand struggle. There was a bayonet charge ~ j the Spaniards. The insurgents won by a series of am- ruscades. Not over 20 Am ricans are now serving in the Cuban army.

An Effort Being Made to Popularize the Sport in St. Louis. Basket ball, which is one of the most popular of indoor games in the East, is almost an unknown sport tin this city. Most St. Louians have never seen a game and have no idea what it is like. Outside of the three Y. M. C. A. branches, which have two teams each, there is no organization or c.ub that pays the game in St. Louls. An effort is being made by these teams to spread the interest in the game, in the hope that it will be taken up and more teams organized for playin Persons wishing to see the game regu arly played can ‘do so by visit- ing the Central Branch Y. M. C. A, on an Monday night, or the South Side Branc on any Wednesday night. These nights are devoted to playing practice games tween the first and second teams of the mentioned branches and there is no lack of interest owing to rivalry between the teams.

Cy mar ad —_ LOUIS GIMPEL WAS PHOTO- GRAPHED WHILE HE WAS REFUSING TO POSE. HE IS SUSPECTED OF MURDER. Deputy Barnickol and Chief Obst Took Him Out of Jail and Mr. Hucke Did the Rest. Police Captain Conrad Yaekel of Belle- ville mailed photographs of Louis Gimpel, allies John Miller, to Brookfield, Mass., Sunday. From additional letters received from the Massachusetts authorities the Cap- tain is convinced that he has the right man. Gimpel was arrested on suspicion of being the murderer of the Newton family at Brookfield. He corresponds perfectly, even to scars on this head and hands, with the description of Paul Miller, alias Ed Gigner, who had been seen about the Newton home several times, and disappeared the day the bodies were found. Suspicion against the man was strength- ened by his vehement refusal to nave his photograph taken. The only reason he gave was that he did not want his ‘mug’ in ail the rogues’ galleries in the country. Afier an attempt to snapshot him in the Police Station cage had failed Capt. Yaekel wrote to Massachusetts for a, photograph or a man to identify the prisoner. The au- thorities there wrote back that they. had no photograph and did not want to send a man unless they were reasonably sure the right person had been arrested. It was then determined to get a photo- Zraph by strategy or force. Albert Hucke said if they would get the prisoner out in the light he would do the rest. Deputy Sheriff Hermann Barnickol |WAR OFTHE BOOKES, A FRIENDLY AGREEMENT SAID TO HAVE BEEN REACHED THIS MORNING. THE WELLSTON ROOM CLOSED. The Den at Madison Still Running in Full Blast and No Attempt Be- ing Made to Close It. The war between the bookmakers dong business at Madison, Ill, and Wellston, out in St. Louis County, came to asudden end this morning. It was said around Bart Ready’s place, on Eighth street, where the local bookies gen- erally congregate, that the men running the machine at Wellston had been given a “bit” of the game at Madison and that for that reason they had concluded to close the room out on Easton avenue. Senator Wurdemann, senior counsel for George Ehrlich and others, poolroom oper- ators at Wellston, announced this morning at Clayton that there would be no further attempt to defy the law, and that the ‘Palace’ of the Brooklyn Turf Exchange would not open for business this week. There are 21 caplases’ for bookles in the hands of Sheriff Kerth, who was preparing to serve them when Mr. Wurdemann made his announcement Monday morning. The Sheriff also had a request to make of Judge Hirzel to the effect that he be granted an order to destroy the poolroom parapher- nalia.

E. D. Stokes. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—There is at least one man in Greater New York to-day who holds the happiness, honor and fortune of a | great many pecple in the hollow of his hands. This man is W. E. D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes came into possess‘on of all the private papers of Wm. M. years ago. He has made a thorough study of them with the idea of writing a book on the sublect. ‘ According to the story, more than $11,000,- 000 was paid out by the ‘‘Boss’”’ for br'bes and buying up individuals that other people veople to this day know nothing about, he evidences of these payments are still in existence, with the indorsements of the parties directly concerned. The surrender of Tweed by the Spanish Government after his escape from Ludlow Street Ja‘'l is descr:bed by the papers in possession of Mr, Stokes as political work to secure the election of a Republican President. Mr. Stokes says, also, that there is a real confession of Tweed in ex'stence which is likely to be published, and which is bound to create the livel'est kind of a stir. He says Tweed's diary is the most interesting of all the papers. It references to every one that called on him and his business, show‘ng that nearly every one could be treated with on a cash bas's, Che papers were del'vered to Mr. Stokes by a man he had befriended.

COLUMBIA THEATER STRIKE. Hitch Over a Paiuting Contract Cause of the Walk Out. About 80 carpenters, plumbers and iron workers were called from work on the new Columbian Theater at Sixth and St. Charles streets at noon Monday. The call was issued by the Building ‘Trades Council, and was immediately com- plied with. The hitch is over the painting contract, which is held by the J. W. O’Connell Paint- ing Co. The painters employed by the O'Connell Company are members of a lo- | 4 cal organization, and are strictly union men, but they do not hold cards in the Build- ing Trades Council. Saturday the Council called attention to the fact that the other branches of trade represented on the new _building were working aiongside of a | branch not affiliated with the main organi- zation, and demanded that other painters be engaged to do the work. The proprietors of the theater did not comply with the request and at noon Mon- day a delegation from the Building Trades Council marched to the theater and called off everybody except the painters.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Opening prices for wheat to- day were a shade over Saturday's close, May start- ing at 95@05\%ec. The strength was due to an ad- vance of %@%d at Liverpool. From the start, however, there was a strong preseure to sell, and though bull clique brokers made a show of sup- porting the market at first, they soon withdrew und the price quickly dropped under the liquida- tion to 94%e. orld’s shipments show a decided falling off—5,5138,000 bu, against 17,346,000 the week before. Outside of this and the Liverpool advance, the uews was bearish. Northwest re- celpts were heavy—601 cars, against 487 last week and 511 a year ago. California reported liberal rains, the India wheat crop was reported splendid and a surplus was promised from Australia. Ke- ports from the seaboard of a — export a caused a better feeling and ay recovered to 94.@04%ec, Dut eased off again on weak late cables from Liverpool. Corn was dull and a little easier with wheat and on liberal receipts—714 cars. Country offerings re- ported large. ay opened a shade lower at 20%c and seld at 287@20c. Oats fairly active and easier, with corn. Re- ceipts were lIiberal—422 cars. May opened wtn- changed at 24%c and declined to 24\c. Provisions were strong, though not espectally active. Hog market firm, which belped_ prices. There was some outside demand. May p rf opened 7c higher at $10.35, sold at $10.32% and ad- vanced to $10.37%4.
