The convention was very turbulent
throughout, and the business was
transacted with difficulty, but the re

is not probable, however, that the sound
money element will make an attempt
to maintain a separate organization
this year.
The resolutions indorsed unequivocal

Philippines as a "repudiation of Ameri

Britain to bring about an Anglo-Anvr
ican alliance. Expansion was declared
to mean militarism, and militarism the
death of democratic inst it utions. Trusts
were denounced as ruinous to business
and declared to be created by a protect

was declared an evil, and an amendment
of the mulct law was asked. The state
and national administrations of the re
publican party were condemned for
"weakness and inefficiency."

Kennes, France, Aug. 17. —The sec
ond trial by court-martini of Capt.
Alfred Dreyfus, of the French artillery,
charged with treason, was continued
Wednesday morning, Maj. Carriere, the
representative of the government, hav
ing refused to agree to the adjourn
ment of the case until Monday, applied
for h3 - M. Demange, counsel for the
prisoner, and Capt. Dreyfus, owing to
the murderous attack upon Maitre I.a
bori, leading counsel for the defense.
l>reyffu» Weep*.
The feature of the day's proceedings
was the story of the sufferings of
Dreyfus on Devil's island, his prison
off the coast of French Guiana. Drey
fus wept in court when the clerk read
a document recounting the details of
his incarceration.
The proceedings opened with the ap
plication of M. Demange for an ad
journment. This was followed by the
deposition of M. Guerin, the formef
minister of justice, who, however, only
repeated the evidence he had given be
fore the court of cassation.
M. Lebon, the former minister of the
colonies, a big, red-bearded man, then
testified in justification of lii.s instruc
tions to treat Dreyfus rigorously, de
claring that the extreme stringency
only daled from the time he thought
an attempt would be made to rescue the
prisoner.
Col. Jouaust, president of the court
martial, asked Dreyfus if he had any
I questions to put to the witness, and he
replied, in an emotional voice:
"Xo. 1 am liere to defend my honor.
I do not wish to speak of the atrocious
suffering' which for five years I, a
Frenchman and an innocent man, suf
fered on the Jle du Diable."
A llnrroulDK 'i all".
M. Demange here asked tliat the of
ficial report of the treatment of Drey
fus on the lie du Diable, which was
published in the newspapers last week,
should be read. The clerk of the court
did so and, in a sympathetic tone, re
counted the harrowing' tale of Dreyfus'
mental and physical sufferings and in
human treatment on the island.
Deep-drawn breaths of indignation
came from the hearers as the reading
proceeded. Dreyfus at first watched
the faces of the judges with his usual
composure; but gradually, as the story
proceeded and incidents of his awful
existence were brought up before him,
his eyes grew dim and tears glistcwied
in his eyes and slowly trickled down
his checks.
Dreyfus could stand it no ionger and
for the first time during his trial gave
way to his emotions and silently wept.
The faces of the audience expressed
sympathy with the prisoner's emotion,
and even the captain of gendarmes
sitting beside Dreyfus turned and gave
him a look of unconcealed compassion.
M. Lebon afterwards returned to the
stand and added a few more words in
justification of his conduct, and then
Col. Jouaust ordered t lie next witness
to be brought in. All eyes were turned
towards the door on the right of the
stage, and a moyient later the form
of a woman dressed in deep mourning
appeared in the doorway and. accom
panied by a noncommissioned officer,
advanced to the platform.
Mine. Henry TeMtitlen.
It was the widow of Col. Henry, the
French officer who committed suicide
in prison after confessing to forging
certain documents in the case. With
pale face and hand upraised before the
crucifix she took the oath to tell the
truth. Mine. Henry is of medium
height and has a common caste of fea
tures and certainly could not be de
scribed as attractive. She at once put
herself at ease, leaning forward with
both hands resting on the rail of the
witness stand. In an attitude of com
plete self-possession she gave her evi
dence, accompanying the words with
frequent gestures.
Admitted Porgcry,
Iler evidence, however, was of little
weight. She admitted the frequent \ isits
of ICsterhazy to her husband and said her
husband told her he had forged one
document "in order to save the honor
of the country." She gave her evidence
in a matter-of-fact way and was inn»
wise tin' sympathetic figure the anti-
Dreyfusardites have tried to make her.
(ien. Itoget. in undress uniform, fol
lowed. His evidence was a vitriolic
diatribe against Dreyfus from begin
ning to end.
The court adjourned until Thursday
on the conclusion of (ien. Uoget's mon
ologue.
tnfavorable to Dreyfus.
The general impression left by
Wednesday's proceedings is unfavorable
owing to the absence of such cross-ex
amination as M. l.abori would have
given MM. Lebon and Gnerin, and ow
ing to the fact that Gen. I.(.get's argu
ments received no reply. This, how
ever, it is hoped, will prove damaging
when M. Demangc cross-quest ions him

not be said, t:|) to the present, to have

REMOVING WOOL FROM SKINS
An Elcrtrlrnlly United Illntle l)of»
the Wll rk u ilh .\<-itlin-N*
uud toll.
It has always been a problem how to
jet the wool off the skins of the many
millions of sheep which are annually
slaughtered in Australia, South Amer
lea and on the continent of Kurope. An
electrical apparatus for the purpose has
been patented, says the St. Louis (Jlobe-
Democrat. The invention, the first
idea of which is said to have been
•truck by a lady, consists of an electric
?autery or fleshing knife, by which the
wool may be shorn from the skin rapid
ly and without injury either to the wool
Dr the pelt. The knife has a very short
»nd very wide blade, which is fitted on
a handle electrically connected. To re
move the wool the cautery is simply
pushed along the surface of the skin.
A GROUP OF ROYAL YOUNGSTERS.
This family group consists of their royal highnesses. Prince Edward, I'rince Al
bert and Princess Victoria of York, children of the duke and duchess of York. Prince
Edward is the oldest son of the duke of York and is destined to be king of England
some day, if everything goes well. He seems a very nice little boy, and is a favorite
with all the youngsters with whom he associates. He is the most important o£
Queen Victoria's many great-grandchildren. The picture here presented, which is
copied from the New York Journal, is the best photograph ever taken of him.
The red-hot knife instantly mows down
the wool, and the speed at which the
work can be done is governed by the
deftness of the operator. The heat need
not affect either the skin or the wool,
provided that the knife is properly
manipulated. With a few hours' prac
tice, it is estimated, a girl can dewool
from eight to a dozen skins per licfur,
and the cost of the current should be
not greater than one cent for 18 hours'
work. The advantages of the system
are that the wool need not be injured
by lime, chemicals or other deleterious
influences, and the mere singing of the
end of each fiber is imperceptible. It is
claimed that the skin, which presum
ably has been sun dried in Australia or
South America, immediately after the
slaughtering of the sheep, is in a more
perfect condition-for the purposes of
the tanner. The estimate of the cost of
such operations shows the great econ-
LARGEST TRICYCLE IN THE WORLD.
Boston has Just built the largest cycling machine in the world. It is a tricycle,
weighing nearly a ton and standing fully 11 feet high. It requires nine men to operate
it, one to direct its course and eight to propel Its pedals. It attains great speed,
too, considering its weight, being capable of over 30 miles an hour. Its driving
wheels are each 11 feet in diameter and weigh in the neighborhood of 2">o pounds.

Aiix'rlt'un Humor.
Here is one -of the bits of"American
humor" that pleased the women's con
gress in London. An English paper
says: "Women still talk about their
children; they used to discuss their ail
ments; thev now discuss their educa
tion. and in t l«*'ory they are magnificent
in their methods. At the recent con
gress an American delegate listened
ivith great gravity to theories on child
sli culture, and then made a real hit
by remarking in an inimitable Ameri
can manner: 'Well, it seems to mc that
)'oii ladies will have our children in spec
tacles before they liuvt; any teeth!"
BARGAINS IN TOMBSTONES.
Advanrctl MetliodM in tlie FnnfP«l
liuMini'iM Adopted Near a
City Ometery.
The approaches to all the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where headpieces may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment 011 the
part of the survivors. Tombstones are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience in
making prompt deliveries. The de
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual ob
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
of supplying them.
It is the mow surprising, therefore,
says the New York Sun, to come across
a job lot of headstones at bargain
prices. Out in an eastern suburb of the
city on Long Island a wheeling tourist
came upon an odd spectacle of a mark
down sale of tombstones the other day.
All goods were marked in plain figures
in the regular and much approved man
ner of the great department stores.
The prices were attractive and the man
ner of their exhibition was enough to
tempt one to lay in a supply against
the time when in the course of nature
he might need something in this line.
Lettered in white paint were all
styles, shapes and sizes in granite mon
uments — plain, polished and ornate.
"This style, $20;" "Very fine at $48;"
"A beauty, only $1t.50," and "Reduced
to $30," were some of the legends. The
stonecutter stood, like a floorwalker,
among his wares, wearing an inviting
smile, while a rival dealer across the
way looked on with scorn all over his
grimy face at the advanced business
methods of his neighbor.
Many "Xoliii'a" in Stripe*.
According to the figures presented in

New York, Aug. 17. —A Journal dis
patch from Manila says: The Filipinos
sustained a severe defeat before An
geles Wednesday. Ten companies of
the Twelfth infantry, with two cannon,
attacked 2,500 insurgent? who were in
trenched near the town.
A fierce fight followed in which the
Filipinos were worsted and driven away
in disorder. Their loss was 200 men.
The Americans had two killed and 12
wounded.
The Twelfth occupied Angeles and is
holding the town.
Maj. Kirkman, on entering Santa
Maria and Depanay with a reconnoiter
ing party, learned that, after the tight
with <Jen. I'io del Pilar's men near Bus
tos, about 330 insurgents retreated
northward, carrying many wounded,
including five officers.
Manila, Aug. 17.—Our force will hold
Angeles. About 200 insurgents ap
peared Wednesday morning in front of
Dolores, a short distance north of
Porae, but they were driven off by
one company of the Twelfth regiment,
under command of Capt. Anglum. One
American was wounded.
Manila, Aug. 17, 8 a. m.—The Twelfth
infantry left Calulet at*sunrise and
advanced up the railway. Capt.
Evans' battalion deployed to the
right of the track and Capt. Wood's to
the left. Two companies remained on
the track with artillery. The insur
gents were found well intrenched in
front of the town, the trenches having
been dug within a few days and since
the occupation of Calulet. At a dis
tance of 1,500 yards the Filipinos opened
tire. Their force was estimated by Col.
Smith at 1,500, although the residents
afterward said it exceeded those fig
ures by a thousand. The enemy sent
heavy volleys against the whole Amer
ican line. Most of their shooting, as
usual, was high, but they concentrated
their heaviest fire down the track upon
the artillery. Col. Smith kept the whole
line moving rapidly, with frequent
rushes. The insurgents attempted to
flank Capt. Kvaf 'ind therefore two
companies were nt to Ihe right and
drove them bac Unable to stand our
continuous vol' s. the Filipinos aban
doned the t nehes and retreated
through the AVU northward. It ap
pears that they had only received their
supply of ammunition this morning.
Washington, Aug. 17.—Secretary
Root has been in consultation with the
officers of the quartermaster's depart
ment. with a view to expediting the
movement of the Philippine reenforee
ments, and as a result he has directed
that four additional transports be
chartered. They are the Pueblo, Bel
gian King, Columbia and Charles F.
Nelson. These four ships have a capac
ity of 2,550 men. The I'uebio is now at
San Francisco and the Columbia at
Portland, Ore. The other two vessels
are expected to arrive at San Francisco
in about ten days, and it is expected
that all of them will be ready to sail for
Manila by September 10. It is Secre
tary Hoot's desire that the entire body
of reenforeennjnts for Gen. Otis' army
mav reach the Philippines for service
during the month of October at the
latest, and to that end he has been
quietly liegot isiting for additional ships.
It is now believed that all of the ten
regiments will have landed at Manila
by the time the dry strnson opens. A
short and successful campaign by this
new army would of course obviate the
necessity for sending any additional
volunteers to the Philippines and the
plans under consideration at the war
department are said to be predicated
on that idea, it being the intention that
whatever additional troops may be re
cruited will be held in reserve for pos
sible contingencies.

fact that Hacallao, chief of the. secret
police, persisted in his declaration that
Juan .limine/, the aspirant to the
presidency of San Domingo, was in
Havana, either not having left or
having returned, the military authori
ties telegraphed to Cienfnegos in
structing ('apt. Stamper, collector of.
customs there, to ascertain whether
.limine/ was 011 tlie Menendez steamer
and to arrest him if that should be
the case. .lust, as the steamer was
about leaving Cienfnegos Cant. Stam
per located .limine/ and arrested him.
Jiminez denounced the arrest as an
outrage. lie said he had broken 110
law and would not yield except to
force. C'apt. Stamper replied that he
was ready to use force if necessary,
and .limine/ then yielded, remarking
that, he did so only because lie could
not help liimseli. Frias, mayor of
Cienfuegoft, refused to make the ar
rest, claiming that .limine/ was an old
personal friend whom he had known
for years. When Jimine/ was taken
into custody Frias was found with a
police inspector in close conversation
with Jimine/ and the latter's secre
tary. It is believed the mayor was
urging him to leave the steamer, to
conceal himself and wait for a better
opport unity.
Col. Stamper informed .limine/ that
he would make him as comfortable as
possible, and after Jimine/. and his
secretary had packed their trunks
they were driven, accompanied by the
chief of police and C'apt. Stamper, to
the Union hotel, where two bedrooms
and a dining room were placed at then
disposal. Jiminez will be kept, und lV
police charge until further advices are.
received from the governor general.
There is much excitement among the
people of Cienfnegos over the incident.
The feeling is generally expressed that
the authorities had no right, to arrest
Jiminez, an unarmed citizen, going ap
parently to Santiago, and the point is
even made that, even if lie was going
to San Domingo he would only be re
turning to his native country.
Aybor. a representative of .Timing,

day after remaining at the former
place ten (lays, It is believed he tried
to fit out an expedition, as a small
schooner was found lying outside the
harbor, supposed to be awaiting a
cargo of ammunition. Aybor had

Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 10.—The Do
minican agents arc rapidly recruiting
expeditions in this part of the island,
particularly 011 the north coast. Orders
were received Friday from Havana to

Daracoa, pending an investigation. All
trading schoners are closely watched.
On Thursday the tug Adonis was
armed and sent to Guantanamo to pa

Gen. Wood is determined to do all in
his power to enforce neutrality.
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 19. —Ad-
vices from San Domingo say the gov
ernment there is growing desperately
apprehensive of the arrival of Jiminez,
leader of the revolution, who is mo
mentarily expected. His arrival, it
if added, will completely turn popular
opinion, which has been partly unde
cided. Consequently the chief object
of the government i.s to intercept
.limine/, and a number of armed ves
sels are patrolling the coast with or
ders to search every strange vessel
and capture .limine/ under any flag,
armed or not.
