Tho War 21! Inl tiler's Letter Explain.
Hi. PoHltlnn,
Paris, Sept. s.—Another shock has
j;;rt been given to tho Parisian nervous
system by the news that Cavaignac has
resigned.
At first the report was received with
Incredulity, not because of Its Improb
ability, but because M. Cavaignac was
believed to be secretly In favor of re
vision, which his colleagues were op
enly advocating. The netbs, however,
proves to be true, and, to use the gra
phic language of thte Solr, "The Brls
son cabinet has been decapitated."
As he Is not supported In his views
by a majority of his colleagues In the
cabinet, he is forced to take the only
step left—namely, to resign.
Where so many contradictory reports
are flying, it is difficult to get at the
bedrock of truth. Still, the foregoing
appears to be a fair and accurate state
ment of the case.
It Is borne out by M. Cavalgnac's
letter of resignation, wnlch reads as
follows:
"I have the honor to send you and
to beg you to trarsmlt to the president
of the republic my res'gnatlon as min
ister of war. There exists a disagree
ment between us, which, being prolon
ged, would paralyse the government
at a time when it most needs full uni
ty of decision.
"I remain convinced of the guilt of
Dreyfus and as determined as hereto
fore to combat a revision of the case.
I do not Intend to shirk the responsi
bilities of the present situation, but I
cannot nssumo them without being In
accord with tho chief of the govern
ment to which I have the honor to
belong."
People are beginning to he a little
sceptical about vital danger to France
being involved In a revision of the
Dreyfus trial. Clemcnceau Ironically
asks if Francp has sunk so low that
she no longer dare even mete out Jus
tice within her own territory.
As to the mysterious documents con
taining proofs of Dreyfus's culpabil
ity, Colonel Henry's confession has
made thousands dubious as to their
authenticity. It seems hardly likely
that M. Cavalgnac's resignation will
do more than postpone revision. In
deed, conjectures arc already rife as to
his successor. Le rol est mort; Vive

New YOIK, Sept. 7. —Several hundred
Idlers gathered at the Pine street en
trance to the sub-treasury yesterday,
while half a score of sturdy volunteers
under the supervision of Major J. C.
Muhlenberg, paymaster in the United
States army, piled an express wagon
with a dozen small safes, each con
taining a goodly sum of Uncle Sam's
currency.
Altogether the twelve safes contained
gold and silver as well as minor coin
to the amount of $700,000. The money
goes to Ponce, Porto Rico, on the stea
mer Yucatan, which leaves this pori
to-day, and upon arriving there Major
Muhlenberg will commence the work
of paying the United States troops re
maining on the island.
Trull* of America'* Cup Yacht Khi. ,
New York, Sept. 7.—A1l the conditio:.,
for the next series of yacht races for
the America's cup were agreed upon
yesterday at a special meeting held in
the New Y'ork Yacht Club house, No.
67 Madison avenue. The meeting wax
called at 10.30 o'clock, and at noon ad
journed until late In the afternoon,
v/hen the conditions were ratified and
the challenge signed.
The conditions, as drawn up, arc foj
five matches, to be sailed outside of
Sandy Hook, the winner of three ta
be declared the victor. The course for
the first day will be thirty miles tu
windward and leeward and triangular
ten miles to a leg for the second. These
will be repeated until a sufficient num
ber of races have been sailed. Tkl
one gun fire will prevail; that Is, there
will be no preparatory signal. The
Newport course, which it was hinted
was desirable to the challenger, the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club, was in no
way discussed.
The races will be sailed next Septem
ber, and the Shamrock, the challeng
ing craft of Sir Thomas Lipton, will
have to meet either the now boat the
Hereschoffs are to build for J. Pler
pont Morgan, tho Defender or the Vig
ilant. The Jubilee, which Is In the 80-
foot class, is out of the question In the
trial races.
Bridge Flu ige* 00 Feet
Hogansburg, N. Y., Sept. 7.— At about
noon yesterday two south span 3 of the

er, about three miles above St. Regis
Indian village, fell without warning
while about sixty men were at work
on the bridge. All were thrown into
the river, some sixty feet below.
Thirty-three were picked up and ta
ken to Cornwall hospital. Eighteen o!
these died afterward. About twenty
seven are now missing.
The bridge consists of three spans,
of which two were completed, and the
third was nearly finished, when the
south pier gave way at its foundation,
causing both spans to fall, taking Its
load of human freight with it.

CommiftMlotii-r Evan* any* Ilia List Will
110 Gmllv Inoroosptl,
■Washington. Sept. 5. —The annual re
port of 11. Clay Evans, commissioner
of pensions, has been made public. The
commissioner says that the roll is not
only increasing In numbers, but in val
ue. It is believed it will increase from
the war of the rebellion, as there are
probably two hundred thousand for
mer Union soldiers living who have
never had pensions, and the roll will
increase in amount naturally by rea
son of increasing disabilities, a3 pro
vided by law.
The amounts paid out at the several
agencies for thto year on account ot
pensions under the general laws, were
$75,275,383, and on account of pensions
under the act of une 27, 1800, $66,255,-
070, the total being more than $112,000.-
000. The number of pensioners in for
eign countries at the close of the fiscal
year was 4,371, having Increased 308.
The total amount paid to pensioners
living abroad was $660,362.
Seventeen survivors and 211 widows
of the Indian wars, and forty-six sur
vivors and 502 widows of the Mexican
war were pensioned during tho year.
There are surviving five widows and
seven daughters of tho American Rev
olution. One survive* —who has since
died, his pension being payuble to his
widow —and several widows of the war
of 1812 were pensioned during the year
Just closed.
SMOKELESS POWDER.
The Navy to He Supplied IVith One
Million Found*.
Washington, Sept. s.—The navy ha 3
probably fought its last war with blade
powder. Bids were opened Saturday at
the navy department for supplying the
warshipo with one million pounds of
smokeless powder, a sufficient quanti
ty to supply at least the secondary bat
teries of all the ships in the service,
and this supply will be augmented
from time to time until within the
course of a year or two all the black
powder will have been retired, except
probably some that will he retained
for saluting purposes.
There were six bids received at the
war department and opened by Judge
Advocate Lemly In the presence of rep
resentatives of most of the bidders.
Disbanding the Auxiliary Navy.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 6.—The work .of
disbanding that part of the auxiliary
navy which is in these waters has
begun. The Suwar.ee was put out of
commission yesterday, and the Buc
caneer sailed from Hampton Roads for
Boston to go out of service. The Am
erica will go out of commission on
Wednesday, and the Hciendia, the first
of the colliers, it Is expected will be
dispensed with this week. These ves
sels are stripped, their war color taken
off and they are sold to their former
owners or to the highest bidder. The
revenue cutters here have nearly all
been relieved of their nrmament and
are about ready to return to their sta
tions.
,Tudg White Declines.
Washington, Sept. 7.—There is no
longer a reasonable doubt that Judge
White has decided to decline the ap
pointment of peace commissioner, and
that he refrains fiom making public
announcement of his purpose at the
request of tho president. It is lntl
muted thpt a very euily announcement
may be looked for. as there is reason
to believe that the president has al
ready made a tender of the commls
sioncrship, and is now awaiting an ac
ceptance before making public that
fact. Arrangements for the departure
ot the commission on the 17th inst.,
from Now Yoik art being pushed.
