I" '. Anti-Dreyfus Demonstration Over
Hearing of Mme. Henry’s Suit.
CASE ORDERED POSTPONED
‘umé. Henry \Vept in Court—Court Ad-
journed Because the. Defendant Threat-
ened I: ) Take the Case to line Court of
Cassatiou.
Paris, Jan. 2S.--A party of Anarch-
ists appeal-Cd at the approaches to
the Palace of Justice, in which Mme.
'Henry‘s slander suit was being heard.
yesterday afternoon, led by a man
known by he name of Libertod, who
walked with crutches and was bare—
headed, despite the cold.
A band of anti-Semites arrived at
the same time, and the combined
crOwd began to invade the Place Dau-
phine in the rear of the Palace of
Justice. '
The commissary of police .
square cleared, and as the police charg—
ed upon the crowd, the mob raised the
old cries:
“Donn with the Jews!”
A luW, however, answered with the
cry. "Down with the priests!”
Tl .2 trial of the action brought by
Mrr. . Henry, widow of Colonel Henry,
ag: nst M. Joseph Reinach, for slanu
dei'ing her husband, was begun at the
Seine assizes yesterday. M. Labori,
counsel for M. Reinach, urged a post—
ponement of the proceedings pending
the conclusion of the inquiry of the
court of cassation into the Dreyfus
case.
A large number of witnesses was in
court in readiness to testify. The oili-
cers who were summoned as witnesses
all appeared in plain clothes. The case
,was called early in the afternoon, when
M. Labor-i, on behalf of M. Reinach,
addressed the court, submitting argu-
ments in favor of postponing the trial
until after the court of 'cassation had
'reached a decision in the Dreyfus in-
quiry. He declared that the action
was merely the work of a political par—
ty driven to the last extremity, though
it was ostensibly brought for the pro-
tection and vindication of the honor
of a woman and her child.
At this point Mme. Henry wept. M.
Labori expressed regret that his duty
compelled him to allude to so painful
a matter.
Continuing his argument, M. Labori
protested against the subscription of
money which had been raised for the
purpose of enabling Mme. Henry to.
defray the expenses of her prosecu-
tion of M. Reinach.
The subscription, he declared, had
been opened for the sake of glorifying
the act of Henry, who had become a
forger in order to keep an innocent
man in prison.
He then demanded that the trial be
postponed until the court of cassation
had thrown light upon the Dreyfus at—
fair. He declared that the criminal
chamber of the court of cassation, de-
spite the attacks which had been made
upon it, had continued serenely- to
perform its work of justice.
In cor.\‘.\‘usion M. Labori reiterated
his demand for an adjournment in the
superior interest of justice.
The court, after listening to the ar—
guments of Mme. Henry’s counsel, in
which he Opposed an adjournment and
made a violent attack upon M. Rein—
ach, finally gran-ted M. Labori’s ap-
peal for an adjournment in conse-
quence of the latter’s threat to appeal
_ to the court of cessation.
London, Jan. 28.--A Paris dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Company
says that in consequence of the ad-
journment of the trial of the action of
Mme. Henry against M. Reinach the
case has collapsed.
Died as He Wished.
New York, Jan. 28.--Former Judge
Henry Vv’. Scott of this- city, in speak-
ing of former Attorney General Gar-
land’s death, recalled a conversation
held in Viashington with Mr. Garland
in the United States supreme court two
months ago. .
“You have errounded many great
constitutioral questions in this tribu-
nal,” remarked Judge Scott. "‘You may
yet tie in harness ”
“It has been over forty years since
I argued my fi"st case,” said General
Garland. “Nothing would please me
better when my time comes to die,
than to be stricken right here in this
court room, in the midst of an argu-
ment. That would be the fitting Cli-
max to my career."
“Almost in .the same spot where this
conversation was held,” said Judge
Scott. “General Garland fell dead
while arguing a case.”

‘ THE SITUATION AT MANILA.
Agonoillu 'Denies That His Deeputchel
Have Been Intercepted.
Washington, .D. 0., Jan. 28.—The re-
port of the interception by our gov-
ernment of a. cable dispatch alleged to
have been sent by Agoncillo. the agent
here of Aguinaldo, to the Filipinos at
home, warning them that after the
ratification of the treaty of Paris the
president would take an aggressive
stand, and that they must strike for
their (rights at once, if at all, is not
denied inhigh quarters. s
The talk about arresting Agoncillo,
however, is probably premature.
The cabinet devoted much of its
short sesflon yesterday to discussing
the‘Eagan case, and seemed generally
agreed that to magnify the importance
of the Filipino envoy would be inexpe-
dient just now. /
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 28.—Agoncii-
lo. the representative here of Aguinal-
do, the Philippine insurgent leader, has
authorized the following statement
concerning a published report that the
government had intercepted dispatches
from him to Aguinaldo, in which he
advised that the Filipinos would have
to fight for their independence, and
that now was the time to act:
“The statement is absolutely false.
and is calculated to excite feeling and
animosity in this country and to pre-
judice the Philippine cause. No such
telegram has ever been sent 'by me,
and for that reason no such telegram
could have been intercepted. The fal—
sity of the statement is shown by the
fact that I have cabled my govern—
ment to continue the same friendship
which was born on the battlefield
against Spain. The Philippine people
have no wish and no purpose to fight
the Americans, unless they are driven
to it. Their only desire is to strength-
en the bonds now existing.”
Canals to Open Early.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28.--Colonel Par-
tridge. superintendent of the state dc?
partment of public works, announces
that the canals will open for naviga—
tion this year at the earliest possible
date.
He is making a special effort in this
direction. Requests have been receiv-
ed from business and canal boat in—
terests asking that the date of Open-
ing be earlier than last year. He he-
lieves that the canals will be ready
for opening just as soon as the weath—
er will permit.
The superintendent -‘ has directed
Chief Inspector Tubbs to hurry the or-
dinary repairs with all possible speed.
These include repairs to looks, culverts
and waste weirs.
Colonel Partridge is giving the mat—
ter of appointments to the public
works department much consideration,
and stated yesterday that he would
probably have several announcements
to make early next week.
The Strike at Colon.|
Colon, Colombia, January 28.--As a
result. of the strike of dock laborers
and' railway laborers here the railroad
freight house has been transformed in-
to a barracks, where the idle men and
loafers of the city sleep in cars and
are fed from the ships. The building
is guarded by troops, and exit from it
is impossible. '
Cases of looting of non-sti'ikers'
houses have already occurred. Some
of the striking laborers have sailed for
Costa Rica, sooner than aCcept the.
old rate of wages.
Public sympathy, generally, is with
the-strikers. They are now more ob-
stinate, having learned that thirty
cents per hour is paid in New York for
similar work. '
The railroad company is very reluc-
tant to pay on a gold basis, as its
officials anticipate similar strikes with
each rise in the, rate of exchange.
The "'1'caty at Harrisburg.
Harrisburg, ‘Pa.,' Jan. 28.--A resolu-
tion was reported from the federal re-
lations committee yesterday request-
ing the Pennsylvania senators and con-
gressmen to work for the ratification-
of the peace treaty.
An amendment was adopted by a
vote of 76 to 25, requesting the Penn—
sylvania congressmen “to adhere to
the principle laid down in the Declara-
tion of Independence that governments
derive their just powers from the con-4
sent of the governed.” ,
Further consideration of the resolu-
tion was then postponed.
A concurrent resolution was adop-
ted inviting President McKinley to
visis-t Harrisburg during the present.
seSSion of the legislature, at such tim'.
as the president may be pleased to
appoint. ,
’l‘axutionmf. Yale.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 28.—~A bill
to tax colleges and churches in this
state, allowing exemption of only $7,-
500, has been introduced in the legisla—
ture, and is evidently aimed at Yale
College.
It is ascertained, however, that it is
of private origin, and not in the nature
of an appeal by this city to the legis-
lature to nullify the decision of the su-
preme court in the Yale tax suit.
According to the attorneys for the
city, a transfer of the contest to the
legislature would have to be sanction-
ed by the New Haven.common coun-
cil.
Large Vessels for tho ’mu.
Cleveland, 0., Jan. 28.--’l‘he Besse-
mer Steamship Company has asked for
bids on three vessels-of the largest
type-~a steamer and two barges. The
steamer is to be a. duplicate of the
Morse, the largest vessel on the great
lakes, and the barges are to be of the
eight, thousand net ton type. .
It is announced that the Flint and
Pere Marquette Railway Company will
call for bids in a. few days for a. du-

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE. ‘
Efl'orts to Settle the Kingship Dispute—-
Powers to Hold Conference.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 21.--The
state department is directing all its
efforts in the Samoan matter to the
use of lawful and regular means to
settle the kingship dispute. In fact,
it was its insistence upon the compli-
ance of all of the parties to the tri-
partite treaty with the terms of that
document so long as it stood unde-
nounced and unamended that has
made its position so strOng legally at
this juncture.
There is still a lack of official reports
upon the details of the events at Apia.
A brief statement of these events has
reached the department’ through the
United States agent at San Francisco.
but so far as can be gathered it is not
yet known just why Chief Justice
Chambers decided that Mataafa, the
German candidate for the succession
to the throne of Samoa, was ineligible.
It is suspected here that the decision
was based on the um of improper in-
fluences by outside but interested par~
ties in the election of the king.
That, if established, would be sud“-
cient to disqualify Mataafo. under the
strict terms of the treaty, which ex-
pressly provides for an untrammeled
choice by the natives accordng to their
own established customs.
The navy department’s orders to the
Philadelphia did not go out to Admiral
Kautz until yesterday. They were in
the shape of instructions to take on a
full supply of coal and make ready for
a cruise to Samoa.
There was not an explicit order to
start, but simply to make ready for
the voyage.
If the admiral, as reported in the
press dispatches, finds that "his ship’s
bottom is so foul through her cruise
in southern waters as to be unfit for
the voyage to Samoa, he probably will
be authorized to use divers to clean
the hull, for the department has de-
cided that the ship should not be sent
to the Mare Island navy yard to be
fitted out. .
It is stated here that it must be pre-
sumed that whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in Apia,
was not with the knowledge or consent
of his sovereign, but rather was taken
on his own account, and that such ac-
tion, should it be found to amount to
an unjust usurpation of authority un-
der the treaty, will be promptly disa-
vowed by the. German government. It
is believed that the conference of the
three powers will be held at Berlin and
at an early date.
