i i the office of Hon. A. S Bennett.
Kr. Curtis is a bright young man and
vith one of the best libraries in
1 1:6 state at his disposal and the as-
t stance of such an able instructor as
i iiige Bennett be should make rapid
I regress in gaining legal lore.
Charlie Grunow, ferraerly bell boy in
1i3 Umatilla House returned from
Utsop Beach yesterday, where be
I-s been spending a week of a well
rned vacation. He states that the
nt majority of the people haye
i ; ready left the beach and that it has
i newhat of a deserted appearance at
l iMsent. While there the weather
i n pleasant and his stay cost enjoy
t -le.
V band of six redskins arrived In

i "m Hay Breek, Crook county today.
t ' iu uaj j . U v . , w. " " " -j j - .
) f-j states that before he left yesterday j
i was reported lhat Frank Fmnell had
1 en captured by the deputy sheriff
i Crook county at Mitchell. As noth
i z has been heard since yesterday to
afirm tbe report it is likely that it is
i.ttrue. The majority of people are
i t the opinion that the murderer has
i. ide good his escape. He evidently
ited that he intended to give him
i if ud in order to gain time to get out
i . the way and it is not likely tbat at
lis late date he would be found
ound, Mitchell.
C. N. Peck, a prominent farmer near
jxington, in Morrow county, died
inday from hemorrhage of tbe lungs.
was reported tbat he bad smallpox,
id his neighbors were so excited and
tred that none could be found to
1 A
lp bury him. Drs. Swinburne and
unlock, who arrived at his place
m on after his death, made a coffin and
i-.terred the remains unassisted. Mr.
I'ock was an aspirant for tbe nomina
l on for representative before the re
publican county contention in Hep
I'.ier, two years ago, and made several
Meeches throughout the county in
r jpport of the ticket.
Henry Driver is in the city from his
tome netr Wamic. Mr. Driver states
; tat threshing is nearly done in tbat
i iction. Wheat turned out betweeu
:. ) and 40 bushels to tbe acre and con
i iierable of this years crop will be
: vuledtoThe Dalles as tbey have more
i rain than they need to feed their
i ock. Many of the farmers through
i lat country raise large droves of bogs
.- ud fatten them for market with the
i rain crop, thus saving the expense
:.nd time of hauling tbe product to
market. Mr. Driver has about eighty
head of porkers to fatten this fall but
ill, nevertheless, bring in close to
2J00 bushels of grain to The Dalles
.larkets.
Engineer Roberta arrived in the city

Our Grocery Line is complete in every respect
Give us a call before
MAIEE & -
the Mesplie place on Mill Creek to
i he Wicks farm on the ea9t fork of
lhat stream and to estimate the cost
of such a lino. He will go up this
afternoon acct mpanied by the water
commissioners to look over the groun
and will report on the feasibility of
the same in a short time. While the
line may not be put in this lali, it is
neverthelf ss very necessary to have it,
and no soon as the City can atiora to
,.npnr1 t.hn renuired sum this im
nriwpmpni. will be made. When this
is done it will greatfy improve the
aualitv of the water and increase the
quantity materially.
Bowling on the Road Club alieys has
begun in earnest, and the activity
shown nrnmises to be like the old
times of '96 and '97, says the Oregon
lan. John D. Bowie, the association's
champion, has been selected as cap
tain, and Richard St. Clair as their
p.h airman. Fridav nie-ht began the
individual handicap 100-game tourna
mns for an elegant ffold medal. This
would indicate that bowling Is not a
thing of the past and will undoubtedly
become popular once more. The alleys
of The Dalles Commercial & Athletic
Club are being repaired and in a short
time as much enthusiasm will be
shown as is in the RoaJ Club.
City Marshal Hughes received a
letter from the Portland chief ol
police last night telling bim to look
out for a boy named i,dgar towier,
who disappeared from Portland several
days ago. The boy whose home is at
Gobel, on the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad, came to Portland "ith
the intention of attending school. He
did not show up at his boarding house
and a search has been instituted. The
boy was 13 years old, 4 feet 8 inches in
height and weighed 105 pounds. He
was dressed in a brown mixed suit with
knee pants, sore laced tan shoes, a
pink shirt, stand up collar and a navy
blue tie.
Hon. E. B. Dufur and son, George
Dufur.returned froui Goldendale today .
wheru tbey have been attending court.
Mr. Dufur states that tbe term was
unusually short as there were but few
cases of note brought up for trial. The
docket censisted of a few divorce cases
several equity cases and one criminal
case, for larceny of horse, which was
co tinued until the October terra of
court. The court will probably finish
its business today and adjourn. He
states that the wheat crop in Klickitat
valley is exceptionally good and that
much of the grain is being hauied to
Columbus on account of it Deing near
er for the farmers in tbe eastern part
of the valley than to The Dalles.
The attendance up to date at tbe
state fair at Salem has been quite satis
factory, and the receipts 'considerably
larger than last year. The exhibits
are now all in gooa snape, ana tne
special features of the program are
giving good satisfaction. The agricul
tural exhibits, considering tbe back
ward season, are more than good, and
the pens are filled with cattle, sheep,
goats and hogs of the most distin
guished pedigree. Tbe farmers this
year certainly cannot complain that
their interests have been neglected,
and if the grain and fruit exhibit falls
behind what Oregon should show, it
must be remembered that this bas
been a yery backward season.' The
dairy exhibit, in charge of Superin
tendent Weeks, is an Instructive place
for a butter-maker or a lover of good
utter vo spend an hour in.
Ou i be evening of September 27 tb,
Earl Sanders, of Company L, O. N. G.
will deliver a lecture at the Congrega
tional church in this city, on Manila
and a soldiers experierce while there.
Mr. Sanders is an intelligent young
man and has been a close observer
during the year and a half that he was
on tbe island, so tbat he will not only
be able to tell about the condition of
things there as we have not beard it
heretofore, but he will also relate
many incidents that have never
reached us through tbe press. To
hear tbe truth about the treat
ment tbe troops received, tbe valor
displayed Jby them and the result of
their campaign is what everyone is
anxious to hear and it is doubtful if
the limited room furnished by tbe
Congregational church building will
be sufficient for tbe audience which
will turn out listen to him.
We are informed that M. J. Ander
son the well known and popular
blacksmith, of Dufur, bids fair to be in
a position in the near future to lay
aside his tools and rest during the re
mainder of his life. He is patentee of
a summer fa'.low machine, which has
been used very successfully in cultivat
ing summer fallow and killing weeds.
A large eastern impliment firm bas
heard of his invention and have sent
their representative to see Mr. Ander
son and get his permission to allow
hem to manufacture the same under
the condition tbat they pay bim a
royalty. He bas met the representa
tive and arraoged that a royalty of
seven dollars be payed him on every
macbine turned out, and contracted
that one thousand machines be manu
factured tbe Cast year while during
the second and third year of the con
tract 5000 machines will be manufac
tured annually with the same royalty

on each macbine. Should the eastern
house accept this contract Mr. Ander
son will have a vei y neat annual in
come.
Prompt action on the oartof N
Whealdon prevented what would have
certainly been a serious runrway and
knocked the Mountaineer out of a good
item yesterday afternoon. One of the
Mell brothers, of Klickitat county, left
a four borse team standing in front of
Maier & Benton's store while he went
in to make some purchases. The
team got tired of waiting and started
up the street on a wxlk and as they
passed Mr. Wbealdon's office they be
gan to increase their pace. Mr.
Whealdon jumped into the wagon and
succeeded in getting hold of the lines
just as the team were taking a long
breath and making ready for a grand
rush. He got them stopped withou
difficulty in front of Charles Stephen's
store. Had he failed to get bold of the
lines when he did he would have been
in a very uncomfortable position, in
short notice, and we might have bad. an
obituary instead of this short men
tion.
Representative Jones, of North
Yakima, received a dispatch Sunday
from Senator Foster, now in Washing
ton, i bat the sheep raisers would have
to get their flocks off the Rainier re
serve by tbe Zoto. Tbe senator bad
failed to have tbe time extendod as be
expected. A letter to Mr. Jones from
Secretary Hitchcock stated that the
sheepraisers are on the reserve in
violation of the law, which will be en
forced to the letter. He says the
superintendent issued permits without
authority and will be asked to exrjiain
his action. Mr. Jones will meet the
sheep raisers .the 23d, and a plan for
trislation this wi jter will be prepared'
Closing the reserve so early will cause
the sheepmen much loss and incon
venience, as the season is not ended.
The seeep raisers expect to winter
their flocks in Yakima and in the
pring either sell out or move to Mon-
taDa or Idaho, unless favorable legisla-
tion can be secured.
George Johnston and wife, of Dufur,
are in the city today. Mr. Johnston
informs us that the Dufur public
school opened last Monday with a total
enrollment of 80 pupils, while a. great
many have not vet entered school on
account of harvesting being unfin
ished. It is expected tbat in a short
time the enrollment will be swelled to
a marked degree by pupils from other
districts, who realize the splendid op
portunities offered by this school.
Prof. R. R. Allard holds the position
of principal, while he has two able as
sistants in the persons of George W.
Brown and Mrs. Rebecca V. Wilson,
both of whom take a great interest
in education. Prof. Allard will cer
tainly prove to be the right man in
the right place as he is a person who
takes every interest in the work, while
on the other band the people in tbe
Dufur district take a singular pride in
having a good school and will do all
they can to encourage him.
From Thursday's Dally.
Sam Bannett, of Tygh, is in the
city.
A. A. MacLeod, the Goldendale
merchant is in the city today.
C. W. Meyer, of Wheeler county,

Geo. Hunler, of Park Place. Oregon,
who bas been visiting his friends in
Eastern Oregon, came to towj yes'er
day and expects to return to his borne
in a few days. All his old friends here
were pleased to welcome him.
;-The marriage of Albert Shelton to
'Maud Levert took place at Golden
dale.1 last Sunday. Both bride and
groo&X have numerous friends hero
who join with the Times Mountianeer
in extending congratulations ajd best
wishes to the young people.
A Jap, who works on tbe section at
a point east of The Dalles which is
known as tbe Company Mess bouse,
mashed one of his fingers very severely
yesterday morning. He came to Tbe
Dalles and had the injured member
dressed by one of the O. R. & N. Co.'s
physicians.
In bis lecture on the Philippines and
bis experience as a volunteer soldier,
Earl Sanders will devote some time
to another matter of great inter
est, namely tbe life on tbe transports
going to and from tbe islands. This
is a matter about which little has been
said and will add much to the interest
of the young soldier's lecture.
A character, charged with being
drunk and disorderly, was landed in
jail yesterday afternoon and allowed
the acommodations afforded by the
city bastile until this morning in which
to sleep off his jag. He was brought
before Recorder Gates this forenoon
and in the usual penitential mood
stated that his name was John Nelson
and of course was sorry tbat it all
happened and upon being fined S3
paid up and was dismissed.
We are informed tbat A. R Graham
who lives near Goldendale in Klickitat
county, has threshed from a field of
over one hundred acrea an average of
fifty four bushels and forty pounds of
wheat to tbe acre, while D B. Gaunt,
whose farm is close to Centerville,
threshed an average of 25 bushels on
a 500 acre field. This is a remarkably
good yield for what is considered an
off year.
One wonders when passing Mrs.
Phillip's millinery establishment if
tbe ladies will ever get through ex
amining the many beautiful styles in
fall and winter hats which she baa on
exhibition. One cannot blame them
however,when we think of tbe number
and variety she has to let tbem pick
from and if they are not satisfied with
her stock it i not for tbe reason that
they bad not enough to chose from,
but rather on account of their being
hard to please.
The people who saw Ringling's cir
cus on its recent yisit to Spokane can
obtain an idea of tbe size of the tents in
which the Spokane Industrial Expo
sition will be beld this year by com
paring the monster tent of the circus
with one of the four big tents of the
exposition. The Ringling tent was
180 feet wide and 300 feet long. Be
sides this there are three other large
tents, a wooden building for machinery
hall and a number of buildings of wood
and canvas for the poultry, stock and
dairy departments.
Clinton Alden, brother of Captain
Alden of the steamer Regulator, ar
rived from Vancouver yesterday to
visit friends in Tbe Dalles prior to bis
leaving with hie regiment for the
Philippine islands. He enlisted in
Pendleton some time ago and was one
of the two men who passed the final
examination out ot 39 wno were r
cently examined. He is a perfect man
physically, a well trained militia man
and oae who will stand splendid
chances of promotion. He is visiting
old friends here today and will remain
until Saturday, when he will be forced
to ppnort. for dutv at the' earrison in
Vancouver.
The route of the new pipa line from
Mesplies to Wicks' place on mill creek
was looked over by the members of
the water commission accompanied by
engineer Robert yesterday afternoon
and Mr. Roberts was instructed to
survey the same and raport as to the
cost of such a line. Mr. Roberts is
engaged in surveying the line today
and will soon be able to tell what it
will cost the DeoDle of The Dalles to
put in this most necessary improve
ment.
Mr. . John Parrott returned from
Goldendale yesterday where he has
been on a business trip. He states
that that town is raining steadily in
population and new buildings are he
ins- put ud all tne time, me new
dormitory for the Klickitat academy
has been completed and will acorn
raodate about 45 pupils. Other im
provements have also oeen maoe to
add to the acommodations. Almar
Baker, of Baker Bro. has just begun
to errect a new $4000 residence and
several smaller buildings are under
course of erection so that Goldendale
is booming.
A. J. Douclas. of Dufur. is in the
citv todav. He states that since tbe
city council of the town of Dufur have
passed an ordinance closing bowling
alleys and pool rooms in Dufur he
Lhinks verv seriouslv of moving to the
Palouse country where ho will have an
an eauallv pood field to operate his
largesteam thresher, a good country
to farm and a muncipal corporation
-where a bowling alley and billard
room can be conducted without the
council Dassinc ordinances against
su-;h innocent amusements. Mr,
Douglas is one of the best citizens in
that community and such a man can
be ill spared from any place.
The sheepmen who are grazing their
flocks on the forest reserve have once
more beeu notified by private letter
from Forest Superintendent D. B.
Shelier tbat all sheep must be removed
from the Mount Rainier forest, reserve
by or before September 25th or they
will be driven off by the forest rang
ers. This makes it very inconvenient
for the sheepmen as it leaves them
without any range on which to run
their sheep from now until the usual
time for taking the sheep out of the
mountains. In the whole state of
Washington there is but one piece of
ranp-e left which is a small strip, tbat
would furnish pasture to about 50,000
sheep, located west of Camas Prairie.
The Washington sheepmen are de
termined to either sell thei sheep or
move them to some other state.
Many persons who desire to place
small sums of money in a safe place
are taking advantage of the postoffice
regulation allowing them to buy post
office orders, payable to themselves.
They thus feel assured that their
money is in a safe place, where tbey
can get it any time tbey want it.
Even if they lose their money-order
they can get a duplicate, and if the
government should pay tbe money to
the wrong person the mistake will be
made good. Postal orders are being
largely used now in transmitting
money from one country to an other,
this being a safe and cheap method of
making such transfers. The Japanese
are among tbe best customers of the
yostoffice in foreign business. The
orders are sold payable in American
coin or the coin of the country in
which they are payable, and the
money-order clerks have a table of
comparative values, which enab'.es
tbem to fix the amount to be paid fur
a certain sum of American money in
the coin of any country in the uni
verse. '

Thomas Morran, on Trout creek sever
al weeks ago, is still at liberty ana

A movement is on foot for the sale
of the Golconda mine, seven miles from

looking at tbe mine, and have sent in
aaorable report to tbe buyers,- and
an answer is now expected. The price
is not given out, but is said to be be

farmers are hauling to Biggs and even
to Tbe Dalles.
R. G. Davenport received word this
morning that his nephew Willie Gil
lespia, aged 12 years. w..s accidentally
shot at Coulee City, Okanogan
county, Washington. It appears tbat
be, in company with some other boys

ing. One of tbe young men turned
bis gun towards the crowd when it
was accidentally discharged and young
Gillespie was killed instantly. Tbe
boy's remains were brought home as
tbe parents were seated at tbe break
fast table and as tney knew nothing
about the accident until the boy's re
mains were carried in, tbe shock. must
have been terrible. It was purely an
accident and no blame rests on the
young man who had the gun when it
was discharged.
AGENT COWEN'S REPORT.
The Warm Spring Indians What They
Are Dolus and What Thpy Need.
The annual report of Agent James
Cowen, pf tbe Warm Springs agency,
Oregon, has been received at Wash
ington, and shows a ' total of 968
Indians at that asrency, 300 Wasco and,
TeDino, 512 Warm Springs and 96
Piutes. - , .
Tbe land of this agency is much
better adapted to stock raising than'
farming, being rough and mountain
ous. The grasses are suitable Tor tne
stock, although along the water course
there is much fertile and productive
land, and all kinds of ground where
vegetables can be produced. The flat
highlands in ordinary season yield a
good harvest of rye, barley and wheat.
Tbe Indian? are mainly industrious.
Tbey are 'anxious to secure good
houses, but are deficient in taking care
of their households, and do not -econo
mize their supplies. A competent
field matron to labor among tbe In
dian women would do much to rectify
these faults. The Indians are mainly
self-supporting, although some of the
older ones are dependnt to a great
degree upon government assistance.
The court of Indian offenses and the
Indian police are very competent and
familar with their respective duties.
Comparatively little trouble is traced
to whisky and gambling, as the reser
vation is some ways from, town, and
these evils not easy of access.
During the past year the enrollment
of pupils at the boarding school In
creased from 129 to 149, with an
average attendance of 130. The school
farm was well managed, and brought
in a good return of hay and vegatables.
Tbe assistance tbat the Indians re
quire is in tbe way of wagons, harness,
plows and agricultural implements to
enable tbem prop-rly to cultivate their
allotments. Being required to pay
for such implements by labor, they are
made to appreciate their value and are
rendered more careful and selfish of
their holding?.
Samuel B. Davis took charge of the
Warm Springs school on May 15, re
lieving W. P. Campbell. He recom
mends that the dormitories be enlarg
ed to meet tbe demands, made upon
them.

DREYFUS TO
BE FREE
The Persecuted Captain
Finally Pardoned
Paris, Sept. 19. The council of
ministers decided today to pardon
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, in principle.
The pardon will take effect in a few
days.
Dreyfus has relinquished his appeal
for a reversal of the judgement of the
court-martial.
'In principle" is an idiom some
times used in semi official announce
ments of forthcoming actions. It
seems to have but slight bearing on
the matter, except, perhaps, but that
it employs tbe fulfillment of various
formalities before tbe pardon is actu
ally issued, thereby qualifying the an
nouncement of the pardon with slight
tentativeness. It is not known yet
whether the pardon includes amnesty
There is much remark here on the
strange coincidence of the death of
Scheurer Kestner, tbe first champion
Of Dreyfus, and to whom Dreyfus will
virtually owe his freedom, on the very
day the cabinet decided to pardon the
prisoner. Scheurer Kfstuer's death
was sudden. He bad been ill during
the last few days, but io was not
thought his illness would prove fatal.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned bad already been dis
counted by predictions and there was
absolutely no excitement along the
boulevards when newsboys ran along
at about 3:15 p. M., with the first edi
tions containiug the statement that
the cabinet had decided to narrlon
Dreyfus. Everyone expected it and
the decision met with no ooDosition.
The Droits Del Homme, socialist or
gan, says: "Our task remains the
same after as before the liberation of
Dreyfus, to continue the campaign
against all those who are responsible
for the lamentable affair, and unmask
the forgers, traitors and false wit
nesses, even though they may be
covered with glittering decorations."
It is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the promulgation of his
pardon in order to avoid demonstra
tions.

Banna Sayi It Would Be Olssracefnl to
Sell the Philippines.
New Yoek, Sept. 19. Last night be
fore starting for Cleveland, tbe atten
tion of Senator Hanna, of Ohio, was
called to the alleged interview with Li
Hung Chang, in which the Chinese
statesman advised selling tbe Philip
pines.
"Perhaps tbe Chinaman did not say
it," said the senator. "It may be a
harmless fake. But even if he did,
what does it traiter? The idea is pre
posterous. It would be more than a
disgrace to the United States to barter
away tbe islands It would be a
repudiation to our moral obligations
to tbe civilized world. The nations of
Europe are watching to see what we
are going to do in the Philippines.
Tbe thinking classes look with satis
faction on this country's present
polijy. ,
"The president has outlined his
policy for the Philippines. It is broad
charitable and sincere, and what might
be expected from a clearheaded states
man. The people as a rule heartily
indorse that policy. We did not fight
the Spaniards in order to secure pos
session of the Philippines. They came
to us unexpectedly. The insurgents
under Aguinaldo are a small percent
age of the people. P?ople in this
country who are supporticg Aguinaldo
do so from a weak beaded sentimen
tality tbat is quickly dissipated when
he actual conditions are confronted."

PEASE
HOSTILITIES WILL
SOON BEGIN
Doers of War Will be
Turned Loose in the
Transvaal.
London, Sopt. 20 Great Britain's
relations with tbe Transvaal remain
unchanged, and so far as the former is
concerned the situation is not likely
to take on a new phase until after Fri
day's cabinet council. Whether tbe
Boers will be content to wait tbat
long without ending the suspense with
hostilities depends upon circum
stancess. The Morning Post contained a dis
patch from Pietermaritzburg, Natal,
dated September 19, saying: "I have
never known the situation to be graver.
Tbe Boers only await two day's rain
or. the veldt before beginning hostil
ities. They are determined on war,
and consider they can expect nothing
else after the last dispatch, and are
prepared to face the consequences."
Tbe correspondence then described
in detail tbe Boers' elaborate border
preparations, which appear more
h orough and formidable than hereto
fore believed. He says tbe Orange
Free State offlaers at Pretoria have de
vised a combined plan of action, which
he adds, includes seizing Majuba,
Laing's Neck and Newcastle, Natal,
the moment the ultimatum arrives.
Tbe secretary of state for the col
onies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain spent
the day at tbe colonial office. He
looked completely worn out by anxiety.
A dispatch from Pretoria says that
at a meeting of Belgians there a corps
was enthusiastically formed to help tbe
Boers in case of war.
Secretary of State Reitz is' quoted as
saying tbat in caso of war the aliens
couid remain in the Transvaal, pro
vided they guaranteed their good be
havior. The presence of the Orange
Free State officers at Pretoria is con
firmed. Numerous field cornets are at
the Boer capital.
Relics To Be Disposed Of.
Havana, Sept. 20. General Brooke
has Issued an order permitting munici
palities to pull down and dispose all
temporary Spanish fortifications, re
turning to tbe owner such material as
was confiscated by the Spanish govern
ment purposes.
This order was issued as the result of
numerous applications received from
many parts of the Island for tna return
of private property unjustly held, and
also from muncipallties desiring to
utilize lani occupied by the block
houses and similar defences. It
exemps the military railroad and
trocha extending from Moran ' to
Jucaro, on account of tbe extraordinary
comptetement of this weak work, sug
gesting tbat the future generations of
Cubans will be pleased to study the
style of warfare of their forefathers.
Much pleasure is expressed by the
Cubans at General Brooke's action
in excluding the trocha from the
order.
At a meeting of tbe various industrial
clubs and unious held yesterday to con
sider the question of a general strike
and to fix a day for a geueral repre
sentation meeting of all the labors of
tbe island, it was decided to hold a
mass meeting this evoning. The Dis
cussion expects a general strike tomor
row and says:
"We sympathize with the endeavor
of the stockholders to obtain an eight
hour day. The present time, however,
is inopportune, as many men are out
of work and have been for considerable
periods. The labor leaders should have
selected a later date for a general
strike, should be better prepared to
resist tbe extra expense and hardship
owing to the want of work, as Havana
will be without meat or milk and al
most without the necessary means ot
life If their project is carried out now."
Tbe manager of tbe newspaper Re
public, at Cienfuegos, has been placed
under arrest at the order of the mayor
for publishing the account of tbe mun
icipality. The mayor is credited with
having said that he intends to make it

DREYFUS LKAVKS HIS PRISON
Departs for Mantes t Three O'elorh
in The Horning-.
Rennes. Sept. 20. Captain Alfred
Dreyfus at 3 o'clock this morning left
tie prison in which he bad been con
fined since his return from Devil's
Island, and proceeded to Verna, where
be took a train bound for Nantes. His

M. Virguie, chief of the secret ser
vice, and M. Dureault arrived at the

lease of Dreyfus.
Drejfus walked from the prison to
the boulevard La Enne, where he en

driven to the Verna station outside of
the town. MatthieuiDreyfus metlmh
at the train and accompanied him to
Nantes.
While this dramatio turn in ' the
Dreyfus drama was taking place all

famous prisoner of Devil's island was
no more noticed than that of an nr.
ary traveler.
OOBBIM BBEKLY SURRENDERS.
The Minatnre Hlere of Paris la at an
End.
Paris, Sept. 20. At 11 o'clock last
(Tuesday) night, Luolen Millevoye,
one of the deputies of the department
the Seine, accom pained by the
brother of Jules Guerin, the anil-
Semitic agitator, entered the Grand
Occident, the building io the Rue de
Chabrol where Guerin and his compan
ions have long been besieged. About
tbe same tima the soldiers who have
been guarding the approaches were
withdrawn and replaced by troops
fully equipped, as if for field service.
At 4:15 a. M., precisely at the hour
appointed, a captain of tbe municipal
guards rapped at the door ot Fort
Cbabrol. There was a moment of
expectation, and then the door opened.
M. Guerin calmly presented himself,
meekly surrendered, and was driven to
the police depot in an opened cab,
seated beside the captain of the guards.
His companions were allowed to go
free. Thus the six week' siege ended
in sublimely rediculous style.

According to offlolal advices received
at the war department todav, General
Otis has been disappointed In carrying
out several military movements con
templated at this time by reasons ot the
continued rains. He fears now that
the Americans troops will be able to
do little it anything in the way of
aggressive action before November 1.
The authorities had hoped to get news
of several important engagements,
plans of which tbey have known for
sometime.
In some respects tbey considered
that the delay will be beneficial. By
November 1 General Otis will have
10,000 more men, and will therefore be ,
able to put a larger army into the field
and begin a much more aggressive
campaign than is possible at present.
