THE MOBNISG OREGONIAN, MOKDAjg, OCTOBER 6, 1902- 1 ZOLA IN HIS TOMB Great. Frenchman Honored by AH the People. DREYFUS IK THE PROCESSION Thousands of Worklogmen "Were In the Ranks-GIoquent Review of the Dead "Xovellst's Lafcor Brought Frequent Applause. PARIS. Oct. 5. The remains of Emlle Zola, were laid at rest today with simple but "impressive ceremonies. It was such a funeral as Zola himself would have wished, without pomp, but with the ser ried ranks of thousands pf worklngmen, many accompanied by their wives, sor rowfully marching behind his coffin, Mu nicipal guards, mounted and on foot, lined the route, but, except for a company of Infantry which rendered" military honors to tho body as it was carried from the house to the hearse, they were there as guardians of order and not as partici pants in the'cerenony. Ex-Captain Dreyfus marched In the fu neral cortege, according to authority of the Prefect of Police, but he passed com pletely unnoticed by the crowds. A little distance behind came Madame Dreyfus, accompanied by her father. Dreyfus sent a handsome wreath, which was placed be Elde the coffin. The Temps today says Dreyfus went to the Zola house yesterday evening and watched beside the corpse "with the fam ily. He Induced Madame 'Zola to give him back bis promise not toattend the funeral, and he walked 4n the procession today between La Lance, an ex-Deputy from Alsace, in the German Reichstag, and M. Monod, a member of the institute. Long before 1 o'clock this afternoon, the hour fixed for the start of the cortege from the Zola residence in the Rue de Bruzelles, an Immense concourse began gathering along the short route leading to the-ntrance of Mont Martre cemetery, from hlch the public was completely excluded from midday. The immediate Vicinity of the house was surrounded by a cordon of police, through which only relatives and Intimate friends of Zola were allowed to pass. Facing the house was drawn up a double line of Infantry, commanded by a Captain on horseback The soldiers were there to render the military honors due to a deceased officer of the Legion of Honor. The broad portal of the Zola residence Tvaa bung with black drapery, which was relieved with silver stars and fringes and surmounted by three silver Z's. A hand some hearse, with sable plumes on the Toof and on the heads of the two horses attached to it, stood before the door. Pre ceding the hearse were three other cars, almost hidden beneath masses of mag nificent floral offerings from Zola's ad mirers in all parts of the world, including an Immense wreath of giant chrysanthe mums bearing the words "From the Frenchmen of San Francisco." aiadamc Zola, Didn't Go. MaSfeme Zola wished to follow her hus band's body to theigrave, but her doctors absolutely forbade her. to do so. She therefore bade farewell to the remains in the mortuary chamber. Her grief was most poignant when the coffin was re moved to the entrance hall of the house, where It rested a few minutes. The bier V--gag then borne through the door. As it emerged to the street the mounted officer of Infantry saluted it with his sword, and the two lines of soldiers presented arms. The crowd of mourners In front of the house uncovered, and amid silence, broken only by the rolling of muffled drums, the coffin was laid -in the hearse. Beautiful wreaths of violets were arranged about it, and the pall-bearers, MM. Chaumle and Herman, representing the Society of Dramatists; Ludovlc Halevy and Octave Morbau, the deceased's publishers, and Charpentler. Fasquelle and M. Briat, in behalf of the miners, took their places beside the coffin, with the tassel cords in their hands, and the procession started lor the cemetery. Among the masses of spectators which lined the route, there were probably many who were not admirers of M. Zola, but the deep respect for the dead which is inherent In Frenchmen prevented a dis cordant note, and everybody uncovered as the hearse passed. The cortege entered the desefted ceme tery and followed the avenue through the -tombs to the cross-heads, where a small platform had been erected for the fu neral orators. This platform faced the catafalque, upon which the coffin was de posited. Here It rested beneath the "over hanging boughs of lime trees, from which, during the speeches, yellow leaves- flut tered down upon It. M. Chaumle was the first speaker. He paid the government was in honor bound to participate in the funeral of one of tho SLi Vlfp-IPHf Htorfirv Plnrloa lt Pninna roVinon death had cast the country Into mourning. Zola's life work had been dominated by nmclfttv for slnrprltv ariA truth cnool er said, an anxiety inspired by his great ..feelings of pity and justice. Alluding to Zola's part in the Dreyfus affair, M. Chaumle said that whenever a cause ap peared to him as a Just one he regarded it his imperious duty to defend it, al though he had to brave unreasonable ai?- ger, suffer furious insults and unjust hat red and most painful abandonments for bo doing. These clamors are already dy ing out, continued tho speaker, and death Is bringing with It appeasement and calm. It has hastened the definitive honor of justice and all truly . high-minded men. whatever part they may have, taken in the struggle, now bow before this coffin. Review of Zola's Labors. - M. Herman, on behalf of the .Societies of Authors and Dramatists, then gave an eloquent review of Zola's labors. The final oration was delivered by An talo France, one of the most-ardent cham pions of the revision of the Dreyfus case. M. France said that Zola's work could- be pompared only to that of. Tolstoi, but that Tolstoi had built up a city of re signation, whereas thp ideal of Zola had heen work. The speaker dwelt upon the democratic 2 .aim of the dead novelist's works, and' then burst Into a powerful tribute to . Zola's part in the Dreyfus affair and a denunciation of his enemies. He Baid he would not maintain a cowardly silence before the coffin of his friend, and .spoke of the sinister situation in the - country 'When the populace, misled, by monstrous lies and excited by odious declamations, believed it had been betrayed and felt exasperated. -Then Zola.' wrote to the President of France that terrible letter in which he. denounced forgery and fel ony. M. France then recalled the yells of rage and shouts of "death" which had pursued Zola to the law court dur ing the long trial, which, he said, had been judged? in voluntary Ignorance of tha case, on false testimony and amid the rattling of swords. In thosedays, con tinued M. France, many good citizens despaired of the salvation of the father- land and of the moral future of the country. But all was saved; Zola's cour ageous words had awakened France. The consequences of his action, were incalcu lable. A hew order of things had been founded; better justice and a 'deeper knowledge of the rights of all men had como from his act. Applause broke frequently from M. France's hearers during bis speech, and the crowd at the entrance of the ceme tery heard and re-echoed it. At the conclusion of the orations the relatives of the deceased novelist grouped, themselves beside the coftln, and a mon. ster procession, composetTlnalnly 6f mem bers of labor organizations, was allowed to enter the cemetery and file past the body. A 'majority of those who marched wore a red flower, the Socialist emblem, in their buttonholes; others wore bou quets of violets. Each delegation brought a wreath and deposited it beside the cof fin. A deputation of miners in their working costumes carried a .bunchy of nawers iasjenea. to a poie. xne peopie plucked the flowers and ferns which had been strewed on the coffin during the" cer emony and carried them away as agpve nirs until none was left. After theJarch' passed the coffin was placed in- alem porary vault ' The proceedings were perfectly orderly until the delegations left the cemetery; then several of the leading actors in the Dreyfus affair, such as Colonel Picquart, Maltre Laborl and M. Jaures. were recog nized and loudly cheered. Maltre Labor!, who was greatly excited, addressed a few words to the crowd, but, fearing that his words would lead to trouble, the police induced him and Colonel Picquart tp en ter the cottage at the gate of the cemetery and remain there until the Scrowd had disappeared. A few scuffles occurred on the boule vard Declouchy. Groups of Socialists marched by, singing the "Carmagnole," and the Nationalists responded with counter-cries, but the imposing force of guards and police prevented serious collisions. A policeman was wounded during one row. A few arrests were made, but the pris oners were afterward released. boxeris3i ox increase:. "Woman for n Leader 1500 Native Christian Have Been .Slain.

The action of Admiral Casey of giving notice of his lnr tentlon to decline to transport combat ants, ammunition or arms across the Isth mus of Panama is greatly regretted at the Colombian Legation. One member of the Legation staff expressed the opinion that It -would produce a most unfavorable Im pression among the people, of Colombia, should later developments show that Ad miral Casey's steps are accurately report ed. A dispatch, received at the legation from Bogpta announces an official declar tlon of peace In four of the departments of the republic. Preparations are making in Colombia for the election of a Congress to deal with the Panama Canal and other important subjects, and the official an nouncement of the peace Is a preliminary step to the election of the Congress.

PROTEST BY THE PEOPLE GRANT CODNTY-IS "AGAINST NEW .:.V ' .FORESTfRESRVE Withdrawal of Timber Would Retard "Development and Vroye of Great Detriment to Industries. CANYON CITY, Or., Oct. L-(To the Editor.) The discussion .upon the preposed Blue Mountain forest reserve has been read with much interest by me, and the subject has been occupying the attention of the people of Grant County since the order was made withdrawing from settle ment such a vast area of our county. This "order was made July 23 last, and while the order was only temporary In Its nature, its direful effects upon the busi ness Interests of this counts' can be read ily realized by those who have given the matter any attention whatever. Our peo ple have been investigating the subject, and as a result protests and remon strances are being rapidly circulated throughout our county, and- our citizens are practically a unit In signing them. These remonstrances and protests are based upon the folowlng facts, which have been gathered by a careful Inves tigation: First That the creation of the proposed forest reserve Is supported by' land scrip Portion of G&ANT COUNTY Not in Forest Reserve i Canyon City u Portion of Grant Qounty in Proposed? ForestReserve f"i dealers, who look at It as creating a. profitable field for their labor. Second That the creation of said pro posed forest reserve is supported by advo cates of the leasing of Government land in hopes of securing permits for grazing thousands of head of stock on J.h6 said reserve, to the detriment of "resident stockmen of Grant County. . Third That the creation of said pro posed forest reserve Is supported by large land corporations, who. contemplate re claiming large tracts of land In Harney Valley under the Carey act. These cor porations expect, through the protection that Is given them under the provisions of said act, to hold said land for genera tions to come, and if that territory of Grant County that is drained by the Sil- vles River, Bear Creek and Silver Creek and their tributaries can be depleted of Its population through the operations of a forest reserve, they hope to have thus acquired a permanent water supply for their use In an adjoining county. Fourth That if the proposed forest re serve Is made permanent, no timber is left In Eastern and Southern Grant Coun ty to supply lumber and building material necessary in the growth of its towns and i the development of its farming and min eral lands. Fifth That only a very small part of the land withdrawn In Grant County con tains tiniber of any great value. . Sixth That large tracts of land Included in the temporary withdrawal are com posed of lands, that would at no late date be entered under the homestead laws of the United Statea Seventh That -the proposed forest re serve Includes large tracts of mineral land that have not yet been prospected or de veloped, and If made permanent, with no provision permitting prospecting and de velopment of such properties, would for-, ever exclude miners and prospectors from a territory that only a few years hence would contain hundreds of producing mines. , Eighth That said proposed forest re-J serve includes many townships in Grant County that are thickly settled and con tain many prosperous homes. Ninth That if the forest reserve is made permanent, it will eventually com pel many a poor settler to leave a home within its boundary and locate elsewhere, and thereby result in greatly reducing the taxable property of Grant County. Tenth That said proposed forest re serve, as temporarily withdrawn, includes numerous sections of land In Grant Coun ty that contain no timber of ahy nature whatsoever. The foregoing statements of our rea sons for protesting against the forest re serve we believe to be true, and are sure ly enough to cause the people of Grant County to be up in arms in defense of tnelr -business interests. At the first ses sion of our County Court, after the order was made withdrawing these lands from settlement, the County Court of this coun ty placed upon its journal a protest against the permanent creation of this re serve, and placed that protest there in language strong enough to convince tho most skeptical that they mean what they say. f Hundreds of families live within Grant County in homes of their own, which they have secured from our Government under the homestead laws, and who are living comfortably upon the profits from a few head of cattle, which range around their homea These families, many of them, live within the borders of the proposed, forest reserve, and If compelled to give up their homes, will be left with prac tically nothing for their support. I am reliably informed that since the order-withdrawing from settlement these lands, more than 200 applications have been sent to the land offices by homeseekr ers, for lands lying within the boundaries of the proposed reserve, all of which have been rejected by the officers of the land offices. Were it not for the proposed re serve, all of these applications would be prosecuted to a perfect title, d these ,landsx would be placed upon the assess ment roll of our county, thereby adding materially to the resources of our cqunty. Grant County is surely a stock-raising and mining county; there are enough cat tle, horses and sheep, within the borders of this county to use the grass which grows within the- county, and if allowed to -use the same without molestation by those living outside of our county, and who pay no taxes in this county whatever, there will be no trouble between the vari ous classes of stockmen In our county; but for many years . past .large herds of sheep have been driven Into our county from adjoining counties until there is now a general -scramble for grass: the rights of resident stockmen have been imposed upon, even to feeding of the grass In their dooryard, until forbearance In some cases ceased to be a virtue. A few fam ilies are scattered along 'a creek, each having a few head of cattle, which range around their homes, a sheepman comes along with one herd of sheep, and 'In one i season eats the grass out so closely that every f amlljroh the. creek, is compelled to go out of business," leave their homes and. seek new pastures. The resident- stock man nf rtrflntrToimtv have asked the sheepmen to leave them grass for1; their stock, but their appeals have been in vain: and while the people of Grant Coun ty are just as Jaw-abiding as any people on earth, they still believe that tnef are American citizens,1 and have as much right to the products of their own county as" any one, especially any one from other counties, who pay no taxes In our county. Again, I am reliably informed that prior to the order withdrawing these lands from settlement, persons holding some of the most Important official positions and who are In positions to. know" what our Land Department is doing, bought every vacant school section within the bounb ary of tho proposed reserve. Let them tell the- people of Grant County why they bought this land and why they are now favoring the permanent creation of the proposed reserve. The Woolgrowers . Association, which recently was In session in Pendleton, fa vored the forest reserve. Why? Was. It not that they t;ould get the Government's protection to come Into Grant County and eat the grass away from the resident stockmen of our county to the Irreparable Injury of our county and Its citizens? These sheepmen are many of them al ready rich, while the stockmen of Grant County are mostly small stock owners, working to secure a competence .with a few head of cattle on a homestead which our Government has been good enough to give them. In behalf of the citizens of Grant Coun- ty I wish to say. that the wives and chil dren who live on the homesteads among the rugged hills of Grant County are just as near and dear to the husbands and fathers and are Just ae much entitled to the consideration of our Government as are the families of the 'Shylocks" who" deal In land scrip; that the grass which God in his wisdom has placed upon the ranges of Grant County Is more the right ful property of the taxpayers of Grant County than Jt is of the Woolgrowers' Association of the State of Oregon; that the waters of the streams of our county are here more for the use. of our miners and stockmen than for the use of the large land corporations of Harney Val ley: and to thli end that Itistlo mnv hft dene we .demand, f rom our Government a J cureim investigation or tne racts, ana that our Government give due considera tion to the rights of the citizens of Grant County and to Its business Interests. Re spectfully, A. D. LEEDY. COLOMBIA'S SOVEREIGNTY Instructions From Washington Seem to Override It at Panama. PANAMA, Oct. 5. After the conference held last Week by General Salazar, Gov ernor of Panama, Colonel Mader, of tho Colombian forces on the Isthmus, and Qtommander McLean, of the United States cruiser Cincinnati, further difficulties were feared, for it was believed that General Salazar was 4 satisfied that landing of American marines on the isthmus had for Its only object the maintenance- of .free railroad transit between Panama and Co lon. The arrival at Colon of Rear-Admlral Casey on the batcle-ship Wisconsin,' how ever, has quite changed the situation. It now appears that the instructions brought by Rear-Admiral Casey, to the effect that the transportation of arms, or of unarmed .military employes of the Government, or of war material of any kind, by the Panama Railroad, may re sult In serious complications. At a con ference with Admiral Casey yesterday on bonro the Wisconsin, General Salazar says that the United States, according to t.e convention of 1846, had contracted two inseparable obligations, namely, to guar antee positively ana effectively free tran sit across the Isthmus, and to guarantee In the same manner the rights of sover eignty and property which Colombia pos sesses over the Isthmian territory. He said further that if the Colombian Government be not allowed to transport Its troops and war material by rail over tne Isthmus, not only does the United State's not fulfill Its obligation, but It. attacks Colombia's rights of sovereignty and vioi lates all principles of morality and jus tice; that he, as the representative of the nation and government, could not accept such an Interpretation of the convention and against which he must energetically protest., Governor Salazar said that an interpretation of the convention of 1846, which did not permit Colombia' to trans port its troops and war materials over the Isthmian Railroad, constructed on Its own territory, while allowing other na tions and even those openly In rebellion to transport war material over the road under the protection of American ma rines, must necessarily be entirely errone ous. To General Salazar Admiral Caeey an swered that he was complying with, in structions received. He also said that he would consult with Washington and see what could be done In the matter. It Is the general Impression in Colom bian circles here that Admiral Casey has misinterpreted his Instructions. It Is con sidered fortunate that General Salazar has acted prudently in this matter and that cordial personal relations exist between. him and Admiral Casey.as these facts may do much toward preventing the very se rious complications which are now thought to be Imminent. It Is believed by Colombians here that unless the Wash ington "niithorlMH send instructions to their representative on the Isthmus which do not have the appearance of at tacking the sovereign rights f Colombia, the manner of handling the Isthmian question which does attack Colombia's sovereignty may decide the vote of the Colombian Congress on the canal bill. Orders Issued by Admiral Casey. COLON, Colombia, Oct. 5. Under recent orders Issued by Admiral Casey, who is at Panama on the battleship Wisconsin, no Colombian military officers or troops or ammunition will be allowed to be transported across the isthmus by rail unless by special permission. 'This order ignores the passes issued by the. railroad company". k Exchange at Barranquilla Is riBlng by leaps and hounds. An American dollar Is now worth $85 In Colombian paper cur Tency. .

One Strike Settled Favorably for the JHenj-IlllnoIsans In Full Sympathy WItk PennsVlvanlnne. WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 5. The be ginning of the 22d wek of the strike shows no material change in the situation. The operators told President Roosevelt on t'ridajf.ithat 17,000 men were at work, and that 15 per cent of the normal production was being mined. President Mitchell to- are mining coal. He said the operators' were including In the 17,000 all the engin eers, firemen and pump-runners (of whom There are about 9000), fire bosses, clerks and other employes He also denied that 15 per cent of the normal production is be ing sent to market, and said: "If the statement was true, the operators owe It to the public to sell coal at! the normal price, Instead of charging dealers 515 to $20 a ton." f While the superintendents hereabouts will not talk of future plans, there is an Impression among Citizens generally that a strong effort'wlll be made this week by the coal companies to. resume operations. The officials ot these companies have all along maintained that men are ready to return to work, but fear personal vio lence. r Mr. Mitchell says he has no apprehen sion of the .strikers breaking away. He declares the companies are keeping a con stant pressure .on the workers to return, but without success. At Drlfton, he said, the coal company officials had made a canvass of the community, and . found only one.boy, the son of a nonunion man, who was willing to return. Mr. Mitchell said he received this report from there today. National Board Member John Fallon, of this district, and "Adam Rescavage, vice president of District No. 1, went to Free land, which is near Drifton. today, and addressed a meeting there, The three" an thracite i district presidents will "arrive here tomorrow for a conference with their chief. Tomorrow night the four will leave for Buffalo, where they will meet a com mittee from the National Association of Manufacturers, which organization hopes to be abls to deylse some plan by which the mining of coal can be resumed. There was a rumor here tonight to the effect that, while, at Buffalo, the -strike leaders would. hold a conference with bituminous operators, bilt this was denied by Mr. Mitchell. National Secretary-Treasurer Wlteon, of the Miners' Union, will also at tend the meeting. ' One Strike Settled. A telegram was received at strike head quarters today, announcing that tho strike of the employes of the Kanawha & Hocking Valley Coal Company, Involving between 5000 and 6000 men. In West Vir ginia, has ended satisfactorily to both sides. Tha men," It was announced, will receive their pay monthly, will be granted a nine-hour day, will be paid at the rate of 2000 pounds to the ton, will have the right to employ their own check weigh men, and will not be compelled to deal at company stores. Among the visitors at strike headquar ters today was Henry Tiepke, & Commis sioner of Industrial Statistics "of the State of Rhode Island. He was accompanied byj a stenographer, and spent about one hour with President Mitchell. It Is said his visit was for the purpose of gathering statistics for the 'State of Rhode Island. Rain fell continuously today, making thtngs around the camp of the soldiers unpleasant. Excepting a little trouble at Kingston, across the, Susquehanna River from this city, tonight, there has been no disorder in this territory. It has been de cided by the authorities to keep a bat talion of the Ninth at Plymouth, and the troops were sent there tonight. Tightening Their Lines. The Washington conference between President Roosevelt, the coal ' operators and representatives of the anthracite coal workers paving been "without result, the strike leaders are now engaged in tighten ing their lines and preparing themselves to combat any movement by the 6p"erators to break the ranks of the strikers. The first step in this direction was taken to day, when W. R. Russell, president of District No. 12, of- the Miners' Union, which comprises the, entire State of Il linois, came here by direction of President Mitchell, for the purpose of devising relief measures. Mr. Russell had a conference with his, chief, laBtlng several hours, and at Its conclusion It was announced that steps would Immediately be taken to car ry out "a plan by which the relief fund of Illinois at least will be Increased. What the plan Is, both Mr.- Mitchell and Mr. RusBell declined to say. Mr. Russell said that if It were necessary to do so, the Illinois millers stand ready to increase the asaesanient. Hex said they were tak ing a great interest In -the struggle, and would go deep Into their own pockets to help the Pennsylvania workers; President Russell also said the soft coal operators are also In sympathy with the strikers In this state. He said these oper ators believed the union was a good thing for both the men and the employers, be cause, since the organization was recog nized in the Western country, conditions have improVed. While the Illinois district president did not say so, he Intimated in his conversa tion that' some of the coal operators In the West have shown their sympathy with the hard-coal.mlners In a substantial way. When he was asked the direct question, he .declined to say anything about It. Tho 36,000 mlnewofkers in Illinois are now con tributing to the Pennsylvania strikers 10 cents a day on every ton of coal mined by them. The boys employed In that state, too, are giving up 10 cents a day. In ad dition to this- tax the Illinois miners are paying 1 cent per ton Into their own gerf eral defense fund. FOUND SHOTGUN CARTRIDGES. But No Arms In Sight Bocr'c Offer to , Submit to Court. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 5. Just before daybreak this morning a squad ot Thirteenth-Regiment men stationed near the Grassy Island colliery came' across an Italian striker named Guiseppe Paprielto prowling about the outpost with a shot gun. He fired ih the direction vfrom which the soldiers were approaching, afterwards alleging he was shooting at a bird. Colonel Waters had received informa tion that Paprielto was receiving arms and ammunition, and this evening a de- tachment of two companies was ent to his house. The soldiers found there 1200 rounds of cartridges for shotguns. No arms, however, were found. Paprielto was turned over to Sheriff Schadt. Twice during last night sentries about the Thirteenth camp were stoned, and early in the evening a train bearing troops from Oliphan't to BIrdseye encoun tered a pile of rocks and a felled tree across the track. There is a srong feeling prevalent, especially among the business men, that a convention of the strikers should be called to pass upon the Baer proposition to refer to the District Court any dis pute that cannot be satisfactorily adjust ed between the miner and his employer. The opposition declare that if such a convention was hld and a .secret ballot taken, the vote In favor of going "back to work on these terms would be almost unanimous.. The mineworkers' leaders say the" proposition Is a sham Intended to deceive the public. It Is wholly Im practicable, they say, and before the week Is over locals throughout the whole re gion will pass resolutions commending President Mitchell for taking It upon him self to ignore the proposition.

They were soon abandoned, thefmonunion motormen and conductors placing themselves In the hands of the police for protection, or de serting to the strikers.

Conductor Currier, of Brooklyn, was so badly Injured by rough handling' that he is In the hospital in a serious condition. - . The last car from the north, which came Into town about 11 o'clock, carried mall sacks, which were removed to. the railway offices. About this time Company K, Na tional Guard, under Captain Mott, made Its appearance, and, marching to the jail, took the motormen and conductors under 'protection. In marching to .the cars, dem onstrations were made, and the militia used the butts of their guns, and threat ened to shoot several times. Under a heavy guard of. soldiers, the seven .stalled cars were run down toward the power-, house, followed by a mob. In the outskirts of the city riotous demonstrations, were made and stone throwing indulged in, to which the sol diers responded by volleys of bullets, shooting In" the air.
