GRAVE RRRR lN PARIS ' Conflict-Between Civil and Mili- tary Authority Aggravates. DIGTATORSHIP IS POSSIBLE Gen. Zurlinden’s Unexpected Action In ; Prosecuting Col. Plcquart Indicates That He Has Corne Forward as the Defender of the Army. Henri ltochefort Declares Picquart \Vas llribed. Paris, Sept. 23.—The situation here is generally admitted to be grave )y both press and people. The conflict between the civil and military authorities is be- coming acute. The sudden and unex- pected action of General Zurlinden, the military governor of Paris, in prose- cuting Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged documents assumes a grave aspect on account of 3m circumstances attending the inter~ ention of the military authorities in a civil court. At the present moment, when the po- litical atmosphere is surcharged with dangerous electricity generated by the Dreyfus affair, the general who. has just quitted the cabinet defies civil au- thority and takes, without consulting his successor or the premier, an impor- tant step. ' In ordinary circumstances the, mili- tary governor is empowered to act in- dependently, but now that the Drey- fus case has become a. great national matter, every proceeding in the affair has state importance. . General Zurlin— den’s action in ignoring this fact is Very significant. He comes forward as the defender of the army, the prose- cutor of its supposed caluminators and the resolute opponent of a revision of the case. From this to an appeal to the public ' in the line of the establishment of a dictatorship is not a long step. The Soleil says that owing to yester- day’s events the cabinet, at an informal conference, discussed General Zurlind- en’s action. The Fronde asserts that the premier, M. Brisson, disavows the measures ta- ken against Picquart, which, he adds, were instituted without the knowledge of the cabinet. The Radical makes a bitter attack on the general staff, which it charges with aiming at the moral assassination of Picquart through a secret military trial. Henri Rochfort, in his paper, the In- transigeant, declares Picquart was bribed by a syndicate or by Germany to save Dreyfus. ‘Uauros, the Socialist deputy in the Petite Republique, maintains that the general staff‘of the French army can- not now escape the full light of a re- vision of the Dreyfus case. Colonel Picquart was transferred yesterday afternoon to the military pri- fibn of Cherche Midi. The Matin affirms that it has authen- tic information to the effect that the name of Dreyfus was never once men- tioned in the mass of documents brought against him. It adds that the only serious document is the so-called bordereau. The documents in the case, it appears" consist entirely of fragments of letters referring to everything except Dreyfus and the whole matter, the Matin adds, constitutes such a fairy tale that no sober ~minded person would dream of accepting it. W." 3' Barring the Chinese. Washington, Sept. 23.—-The secretary of the treasury has made an important ruling in which he holds that Chinese consuls in foreign countries are not au- thorized to issue certificates to privi- leged classes of Chinese entering this country. In a circular issued to all officers of the United States, attention is called to an opinionof the acting attorney general in which it is held that “there is no authority in existing laWs under which consular officers of China'm for- eign countries may issue to Chinese subjects of the exempt classes the cer- tificates prescribed by section 6 of the act approved July 5, 1894, relating to the exclusion of the Chinese. The effect of this ruling will be to prohibit the entry into this country of the privileged classes except upon pre- sentation of certificates issued by the imperial Chinese government and in view of the fact that thevgovernment has never issued certificates of this character it is believed that few Chi- nese even of the exempt classes will apply hereafter for admission. ". . Cervera. in Madridfin 4» Madrid, Sept. 23.—Admira1 Cervera has arrived here. There were no inci- dents worth noting in connection with his arrival at the capital. In an interview the admiral said he had a. clear conscience regarding 'San— tiago. But, he added, nations grow great by their victories and not by their defeats, however glorious they might be. Spain, he continued, had lived in a dream and now she had to face the re- ality. The Spanish admiral added that his warships were not destroyed in battle but were destroyed by fire. General Toral, the Spanish comman- der who surrendered his forces at San- tiago de Cuba has also arrived here. He did so without attracting any attention and is now sick in bed. Camp l’iaven Deserted. Camp Haven, Niantic, Conn., Sept. 23,—The First regiment, Connecticut volunteers, broke up camp yesterday and took a special train in two sections for their homes on a thirty days’ fur- lough. The camp here is now practically de- serted, only a guard detail remaining to take care of the property left he- hind. ._.—- Another “Terrible Turk.” New York, Sept. 23.-Another Turk- ish wrestler has come to this country to take thte place of Yousouf, the Ter- rible Turk, who was one of the paS- sengers lost on the ill-fated French line steamship La Bourgogne. ‘ The newcomer is Abdul Halil. He is 30 years old, weighs 30 pounds and is about 6 1-2 feet tall. . 7. COL. HAY lN NEWYORK.’ The Coming Secretary of State Talk. Briefly on Public Affairs. New York, Sept. 23.—Colonel John Hay, former ambassador to England, is a guest at he Holland House. He was a passenger on he Teutonic, which arrived late Wednesday evening. Colonel Hay was accompanied by his wife, his son, Clarence, and two daughters. When seen yesterday he would talk only briefly on public affairs, being very busy. He said in reference to an Anglo—Am- erican alliance substantially What was expressed by Lord Brassey in an in- terview here a fortnight ago, that the cordiality of England’s feeling toward the United States was remarkable and not fully appreciated in this country, and that no formal treaty, but only a better understanding was needed be- tween the two nations. rColonel Hay was pleased, of course, at the outcome of the war with Spain, and said that his pleasure was shared by Englishmen generally. On chief subjects of interest to Eu- rope at present—Crete, .Dreyfus, Kitch- ener and .the Far East—the coming sec- retary of state’s guarded comments gave promise of discretion in the office which he has returned to fill. COL. JOHN . HAY. The czar’s proposition for a general disarmament, he said, was credited with sincerity,but not believed capable of realization as yet; the Dreyfus case had enlisted England’s sympathy; it was impossible to forecast the settle- ment of the Eastern question; Kitch- ener was a popular hero in England, and his campaign was being followed closely by all Europe, and undoubted- ly the Cretan problem would be solv- ed. When questioned about matters of more vital interest to the American people, matters with which his policy as secretary of state would be concern- ed, such as our dispute with Canada, the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the N ic- aragua canal, the Turkish claims and the Philippines, Colonel Hay maintain- ed a diplomatic silence. Heroes of the Panthers New York, Sept. 23.—Some of fly: most gallant heroes of the War passed through this city yesterday. There were 422 all told--marines, who were on the auxiliary cruiser Panther, the men who landed at Guantanamo Bay on June 11, and drew the Spanish fire while troops were being landed else- where. They fought against great odds one of the fiercest battles of the war. These heroes came without ostenta— tion. They were welcomed with hard- ly a cheer. They were unrecognized. They came from Portsmouth, N. H., and stayed only long enough to get their baggage transported. They are going, some to the Brooklyn navy yard and the rest to Philadelphia. Coal Miners and Operators. Monongahela City, Pa., Sept. 23.— Having been successful in the third pool, the miners will now turn their attention to the mines in the fourth pool, where the Chicago agreement is being violated. . New York ..... 1 l The contest will be opened in a few days, and the miners’ o'fiiciels say will be waged vigorously until every opera- . tor is paying the district rate. Three mines in the third pool are still idle, the employer, Captain S. S. Brown, not having signified his wil— lingness to comply with tthe Chicago agreement. The fight will be continued at these mines. More Gold Engaged. New York, Sept. 23.—-Further addi- tions to the gold movement were re- ported in Wall street yesterday, swel- ling the total to $4,300,000 thus far this week. Yesterday morning the Bank of Brit— ish North America engaged $500,000, and Ladenberg, Thalmann & Co. $800,- 000, making $1,300,000 for the day.

Hong Kong, Sept. 23.—American and English residents here are delighted over the news that the Oregon and Iowa have been ordered to the Philip- pines.

Additional compliments are now be- ing paid to Admiral Dewey and Consul General Wildman. Death List of Toledo Fire. Toledo, Sept. 23.—Thirteen persons are now dead as a result of the elevator fire that occurred here on Tuenday night. workmen are so badly burned that three or four more deaths are likely to occur.

The Lynch brothers won by . ten boat lengths. ‘ l big 3 ' bedanz and Bergen. Several of the injured - "DR. GILMAN DECLINES- to Serve on War Inquiry . Hoard. Washington, Sept. 23.—-The refusal of President Daniel C. Gilman of Johns Hopkins University to remain a mem- ber of the president’s commission for the investigation of the war department was a. surprise to the authorities here and a great disappointment to Mr. Mc- Kinley. He had expected so much from the presence of Dr. Gilman on the commis- sion, both in respect of the work of the body itself and of the acceptance of its conclusions by the people, that he deeply regretted the receipt of Dr. Gilman’s message. It is believed that the withdrawal of President Gilman will tend to lead Dr. Keen of. Philadelphia to decline to act on the commission. He reached New York from Europe Wednesday and left at once for Philadelphia, his home, saying that he should later come on to Washington and see President Mc- Kinley. ' Speaking 'of the matter at Philadel— phia Wednesday night, he is quoted as saying: “If Dr. Gilman accepts, he would be one of the very best men on the com- mission. He is thoroughly capable and would give a verdict strictly in accord- anCe with thewfacts. I should have the greatest confidence in any report Dr. Gilman would sign.” Another addition to the commission reported yesterday was that of Briga- dier General John M. Wilson, chief of the engineer corps of the United States army. The acceptance of Messrs. Woodbury of Vermont, W. H. Jackson of Tennes- see and Thomas J. Livermore of Bos- ton, vice president and manager of the Calumet & Hecla Copper Mining Com- pany, have been' announced. These make the present membership of the commission nine. Quarters have been provided for it in the war department wing of the state, war and navy building, the commodi— ous apartments on the fourth iloor, oc— cupied by the board of publication of Unable ~the Rebellion Records. The commission will essemble there on Saturday. CHURCH IN THE COLONIES. Archbishop Ireland Outlines Policy oi Roman Catholic Clergy. Chicago, Sept. 23.—Archbishop Ire- land has given the first definite infor- mation regarding the policy of the R0- man Catholic church in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It includes approval of the administration plan of leaving the church question out of peace discussions and the announce- ment that the church in the islands will conform to the new conditions. The archbishop says: “When the dominion of the United States is fully established, the church will come under the same laws that will govern this country and be sepa— rated from the state, as it is ‘now in America.” “There will be no commission from America to investigate the church in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines. The Spanish priests will not be reques- ted to retire, for the reason that they, better than anyone else, know what is needed under the new conditions, and can bring abet! a. change much more easily than any commissionthat might be appointed. The clergy in the islands are men of intelligence and tact. They will attend to their own work and do it well. None of our priests or bishops could speak the language of the peo- ple and would be at a loss to d as much as the men now at the hea -of the Roman church. “You may say that the priests of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will be in accord with American ideas and progression, and they will be left to bring about the necessary change in their own way, and it will be the best way.” on THE DIAMOND Games Played Yesterday At New York: GH T100 7 0— 2 and Dowling, Louisville ...... . . 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 Batteries, Kittridge Grady and Meekin.

Oylier Bay’s Great Reception to the Col- onel of the Rough Riders. Oyster Bay, L. 1., Sept. 22.—The cele- bration in honor of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt by the citizens of Oyster Bay, L. I., took place yesterday after- noon and was one of the greatest ev- ’ ents in the history of the town. Preparations for the reception to the colonel of the Rough Riders were he- gun soon after his arrival at Montauk Point from Cuba, and since that time every patriotic citizen of Oyster Bay has given all his available time and spare energies in the effort to insure its success. The town presented a gay appear- ance. Flags floated from all the houses and public buildings and the main road was one long vista of American flags and banners suspended between tele- graph poles. The ground selected for the celebra- tion was in a large grove directly op- posite the railroad station. In the cen- ter of the grove was erected a large grand stand for the speakers and in- vited guests, and immediately adjoin- ing it_was the band stand. On either side of the grand stand were large bleachers for the accommodation of the public. Oyster Bay was astir early in the morning. Visitors began to arrive soon after dawn. At first they came in all sorts of vehicles from adjoining towns. A little later the railroad began to contribute its share of visitors and soon the town was thronged. It was nearly three o’clock before the Hon. Townsend E. Cox mounted the speaker’s platform and called the meeting to order. The Rev. William T. Estes pronounced the invocation. Then followed the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Augustus A. Smock, assisted by the united choirs of the local churches and the Oyster Bay Glee Club. A baritone solo was then swag, after. which Mr. Cpx intro- duced Colonel Roosevelt. The appearance of Mr. Roosevelt was the signal for great and prolonged ap- plause. Mr. Roosevelt’s address con- sisted of a brief talk, reciting some of the salient features of his experiences in Cuba. At the close of the address William J. Youngs, on behalf of the citizens of Oyster Bay, presented to the colonel a gold mounted sword. BLAME FOR SPAIN'S DISASTERS. Picsldent of the Peace Commission Says It Rests on All Parties. Madrid, Sept. 22.—-Senor Montero Ri- os, president of the Senate’and presi- dent of the Spanish peace commission, in an interview, is quoted as saying: “It" is a painful spectacle to see the politicians on all sides trying to throw on each other the blame for disasters, the responsibility for which rested on all parties. I, personally, have always favored autonomy for Cuba, Spain be- ing unable to forcibly maintain her sovereignty at sucha great distance.” Continuing, Senor Montero Rios re~ marked: 2 “It is useless to speak of our disas- t .rs. Has not the country accused all 0 r governments of exhibiting too much weakness towards the United States? What Spain wanted was a man ready to sacrifice himself, and who recogniz— ed the impossibility of war with a pow- erful nation, especially after years of useless conflicts with the insurgents.” The government has decided upon the remuneration which the peace commis- sioners of Spain will receive for their services while at Paris. Senor Rios will receive twelve thousand francs monthly and expenses, and each of the commissioners will receive eight thou- sand francs per~ month and their ex- penses. Gold Democrats Won Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 22.-—The Gan- necticut Democratic State Convention, which Was held in this city yesterday, resulted in a decisive victory for the gold faction of the party.

Morgan of Bridgeport for governor; John W. Coogan of Hartford presented the name of William Waldo Hyde of Hartford, and Warren W. Chase of Sto- nington named Colonel William Henry Stevenson of Bridgeport. The nominations closed here and an informal ballot was taken. It resulted thus: Morgan 143, Hyde 50, Stevenson 34. This ballot was made formal and unan- imous. . Cyrus G. Beckwith of New. London was presented as a candidate for lieu- tenant governor, but he refused to per- mit his name to be used, and Samuel Bassett of New Britain was nominated by 'acclamation. All other nominations were made by acclamation, and the balance of the ballot was nominated as follows: Joseph Fanning of Norwich, state secretary; Asa M. Ross 'of Thompson, treasurer; Edward S. Roberts of Ca.- naan, controller; Louis Blydenburg of New Haven, attorney general. 1 *Awfiohr‘ Ill-n 36.7 The door-hinge screen is an espec- ially useful article to put in one’s trunk. At most summer boarding- houses the ventilating transom is ab- sent, and the door must be set ajar much of the time to secure a. current of air. Often the hinges allow space for the inside of the mom to be seen, and a strip of Chintz, with four thumb- tacks, is an easy solution of the diffi- culty. For permanent and more orna- mental use a hinge-screen made of ribbon, with floral designs, is effective. It should be from five to six inches wide, and may be finished at the bot- tom with a rosette if desired. Often these door-hinges are very necessary to keep the injurious crack-draught from a bed which must stand in range of it, on the principle of the old Span- ish proverb: "He who sits with his back to a draught, faces his coffin."
