NATIONALIST HIS ADVERSARY
Tremble Arose Over Assertion That
Official Shook the Hand of Drey
fus at the Hoine of the Late
-. Novelist Zola.
PARIS, Oct G. The death of Emile
Zola was the indirect cause of a duel to
day between General Percln, chief of the
Cabinet of the Minister of War and Gas
ton Pollanals, a well-known Nationalist,
who was responsible for the statement
that General Percln met Dreyfus at Zola's
late residence and shook hands with him.
The General In his letter replying to the
Question of Count Boni de Castellane on
this subject, described M. Pollonals as
a "renegade Jew" and also told the Count
he did cot admit the latter had any right
to judge his actions. M. Pollonais then
challenged General Percln and they fought
with swords near St. Cloud today. The
General was slightly wounded in the hand.
The dilel occurred on the estate of
Colonel Picquarfs brother-in-law, M.
v5asL It lasted for 25 minutes, and both
men fought vigorously. M. Pollanals was
pricked In the arm in the first encounter.
General Percln's sword broke in the fifth
round. The General received his wound
in the hand in the seventh encounter. A
vein and a tendon were severed. The
doctors then stopped the duel.
REVOLT OX BILL SPREADING.
British Edncatlon Measure la Alarm
ing: All England.
NEW YORK, Oct. C Revolt among the
supporters of the Government against the
education bill is spreading and Is becom
ing more pronounced, cables the London
correspondent of. the Tribune. Almost
every day during the last week the news
papers have contained convincing evidence
of this fact. Four or five prominent Con
servatives who aleo are churchmen have
orenly declared themselves hostile to the
bill 1n its present form.
But the political situation is still more
interesting by. the determined stand taken
against the measure Dy the Liberal Union
ises of Birmingham. There Is trouble. in
the Chamberlain camp, and though the
Colonial Secretary affects to trea't the
matter lightly It is- clear,-from' the fact
that he has. summoned a conclave of his
supporters for tomorrow, that the mat
ter cannot be dismissed with a sneer at
the revolting 200.
The conference will be a private one
and the country may have to wait until
life middle of the month, when Premier
Balfour pays his political visit to Man
chester, for some explicit statement as to
the intentions of the Government.
MIXERS VOTE OX STRIKE TODAY.
Frenchmen "Want an Elprht-IIou
Day and Old-Ase Pensions.
PARIS, Oct. 6 The delegates to the
national convention of French miners
will meet tomorrow to decide whether an
Immediate general strike is to be ordered.
Agitation in favor of this measure has
been in progress for some time. It is es
timated that 25,000 men hive already
stopped work in the northern coal fields,
but no serious disturbances have yet oc
curred, the government having sent gen
darmes and troops to the threatened
points.
The demands of the miners include
fixed minimum wages, an eight-hour day
and the establishment of old-age pen
sions. A strong minority of the miners is
actively opposing the strike.
BOERS IX BRUSSELS.
Crowds Greet Them on Their Arrival
in That City.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 6. The Boer Generals,
Botha, Dewet and Delarey, arrived here
this evening and were greeted by an im
mense crowd. In a speech from a bal
cony of his hotel, General Dewet reit
erated that they had not come to Europe
to seek vain succor to regain their inde
pendence, but to obtain help in repairing
the ravages of the war. In a subsequent
address Dewet said:
"In the presence of this Immense en
thusiasm we ask ourselves why was there
no Intervention? God willed that we
should lose our independence, and we will
remain faithful to our new country if the
conditions of peace are observed."
XO WORK FOR EX-SOLDIERS.
Englnnd Is Worrying Over Employ
ment for Returning Troop.
NEW YORK. Oct 6. Secretary William
St John Brodrlck and the other War
Office authorities are puzzled to know
what to do for the unemployed reservists
and discharged soldiers now returning
from South Africa, says a London dis
patch to the Tribune. The demobilization
of the army at the Cape is throwing back
upon the English labor market thousands
of able-bodied workers, for whom there Is
no apparent opening. Many of the re
turned reservists are in distress, and it is
hardly to be expected that there will be a
great diminution in the figures.

of both houses, tax reforms are prom
ised, thereby the burdens of the peasants
will be lightened, and the cities will be
made to pay a fair proportion of the

Reports for German Tariff Bill.
BERLIN. Oct 6. The report of the
tariff committee of the Reichstag recom
mends that the Reichstag adopt the bill
as amended in committee, and pass reso
lutions requesting the Bundesrath to in
vestigate how the taxation of tobacco
can be simplified in the Interests of the
smaller growers. The report requests the
federal government to consider at the
earliest possible moment whether the re
fining of petroleum should not be made
a home industry by the Introduction of
separate duties on crude and refined petroleum.

VIENNA. Oct 6. The Neue Frele

but that the differences on constitutional
questions are as acute as ever.

ST. LOUIS. Oct 6. The case of Henry
Nlcolaus, charged with bribery, came up
today in Judge Ryan's court. The mil
lionaire brewer was not present, but was
represented by his attorneys. The date
for his trial, it was stated, would not be
definitely set for a few days, but It would
come soon after the Butler trial, to com
merce' at Columbia next Monday.
Judge Ryan announced that the motion
for a new trial made by an attorney for
R. M. Snyder, the banker and promoter,
convicted of bribery In connection with
the Central Traction deal, would be taken
up next Friday.
The case of Charles Kratz, the Coun
cilman charged with bribery In connection
with the Suburban case, was called In
Judge Ryan-s court.
"I understand," said Circuit Attorney
Folk, "that, this defendant is a fugitive.
I also understand he is desirous of re
turning to St. Louis, and I suggest that
the case be continued to the next term
of court, but that It be made poselblc to
set aside the continuance If he should
appear in the meantime."
Judge Ryan agreed to Mr. Folk's re
quest ,
The cases of Delegates John H. Schnett
ler, Charles A. Gutke and Ted Albright,
on the charge of perjury, were con
tinued, the dates not being set
In Judge Douglas court the cases of
Former Delegates Denny, Albrecht,
Schnettler, Gutke, Edmund Bcrsch, J. J.

Judge Douglas courtroom and organized.
That body was Instructed by the Judge
to continue the Investigation into Mu
nicipal Assembly boodle methods. Circuit
Attorney Folk hopes to secure additional
Indictments in cases he has under Inves
tigation. W. R. Reed, confidential clerk of Brok
er Campbell, was examined at length to
day by tne Circuit Attorney and new
light was shed on the methods said to
have been used to secure the passage of
the city lighting bill.

OBJECTS TO HARRIMAN.
Minority Stockholder Asks to Have
Lease Declared Void.
' CHICAGO, Oct 6. A bill attacking the
validity of the lease entered into between
the Chicago' & Alton Railway Company
and the Chicago & Alton Railroad In
April, 1900, by which all the property
owned by the former was transferred to
the latter for a period of 99 years, was
filed in the Circuit Court today by Henry
D. Laughlln, a minority stockholder in
the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company.
Laughlln declares that E. H, Harrlman
and his associates, Including George" J.
Gould,' M. H. Shift and others secured a
controlling interest In the Chicago & Al
ton Railroad Company and after execut
ing the lease, caused a fictitious issue and
Increase of incorporation stocks and
bonds, "by which the holders of the ma
jority of the stock of the Chicago & Al
ton greatly profited and the minority
stockholders correspondingly lost.
This process, Laughlln declares. Is "vul
garly known as a squeeze." Laughlln is
now seeking to have the lease declared
Invalid; to have all the property demised
by the lease returned to the Chicago &
Alton and to have an accounting taken
between both concerns. Laughlln avers
that it Is reliably reported that a sale of
the Chicago & Alton Railroad Is under
consideration. It the sale is made, the
complainant asserts. It will be to some
other railway in which Harrlman and his
associates are far more Interested than
they are now In the Chicago & Alton
Railroad Company and will be "on such
terms and for such a price as will still
further enrich them and Impoverish
Laughlln and other minority sharehold
ers of the company."

The Dorothy Dodd $3 Shoes
" If the shoe didn't fit, why did you put it on so quickly ? "
Is a provoking question often asked. The Dorothy Dodd Shoe Co.
asks the question in a little different way, thus " If the shoe does
not fit and is not comfortable and1 does not look remarkably well,
why do you keep it.on ? Why do you want another pair ? Why
do you insist on having it and none other ? Why does youririend
buy a pair on your recommendation ? Why is a wornout Dorothy
Dodd shoe as shapely as a new pair ? "Why does it wear longer
than any other pair of $3 shoes you ever had ? Why do vqu ex
perience less fatigue in wearing it than in any other shoe you ever
had ?" The Dorothy Dodd Shoe Co. is offering prizes aggregating
$4,000 to the 32 women giving the best reasons why they prefer
the Dorothy Dodd shoe. One competition blank is given with each
pair of these shoes sold. Here is an. opportunity to enter the pop
ular game of chance, and to those who have not already done so,
to make a trial of this peerless shoe, for which this house is sole
agent in Portland.

Leading: Financial Papers Allnde to
Barons' Spirit as "Lunacy of
Fancied Greatness." "
BERLIN. Oct. G. The coal strike In the
United States Is attracting more and more
attention here. The newspapers print i
rather full accounts of the conference at I
Washington. The press takes sides with
the miners and censures the operators for
their unyielding attitude. The Frankfurt
er Zeitung, regarded as the best financial
authority in Germany, today devotes a
leading editorial to the strike. It alludes
to the spirit of tihe operators as "lunacy
.of fancied greatness," and adds: "When
the coal combination sees it is able to
throw 70,000,000 people into anxiety, It will
naturally get the Idea that It holds pos
session by the grace of God, like the pot
entates of old Europe."
This paper also alludes to the probable '
effect on the Continent of the withdrawal
of English coal for the United State's, and
says It is probable England will draw from
the Continent the deficit caused by the
shipments to the United States, and con
cludes: "Hence, If the strike continues,
the price of coal will rise on the Continent."

Twenty-Five Steamers Chartered for
Trips to- Boston and New Yorlc.
LONDON, Oct. 6. Reports from Cardiff
say that 25 steamers have been secured for
early sailing from South Wales ports for
New York and Boston, and it is said
American purchases during the last week
at Cardiff alone totaled 100,000 tons, of
which S0,000 tons were for New York. The
purchases at Swansea last week totaled
20.000 tons. It Is estimated that the Welsh
coal sales for America aggregate 200,000
tons since the rush began. Anthracite
coal is now quoted at the highest price (
which It has ever reached In this coun- ,
try. A prominent coal dealer on the ex- '
change said to a representative of the As- j
sociatcd Press today:
"I should not be surprised If retail coal
in London reached $10 per ton during the
next week."
A representative of a big Swansea an
thracite company said: "While we are
selling every ton of hard coal we can
spare for America, the increase in price
is affecting us adversely In other ways.
We have spent $5000 yearly during the -last
10 years to popularize anthracite for house
use In England. We have kept up stove
stores and agents in London and else
where, and we were just beginning to
make headway, and now this big Jump in j
prices tnreatens to put oack our crcsade
for several years at least."
