RENNES , France , July 3. Dreyfus
arrive 1 here at G a. m. , via L'Orient
and Redon. The prisoner appeared to
bo in good health. He wore a blue
suit , gray overcoat and soft felt hat.
His hair is turning gray and his beard
is of a reddish color. He.held hlrr.sclf
very erect.
The landing of Dreyfus at Quiberon
was almost unnoticed. At 9 o'clock
yesterday evening the guardship Ca -
clau put to sea to meet the Sfax , which
had been sighted. The unusual bustle
attracted many people to the harbor ,
but as they saw nothing , the crowd
dispersed. The only persons remain
ing were those who knew where the
prisoner was to be landed.
The weather was most stormy , and
lor a time it was feared it would be
impossible to effect a landing. For
hours the lights of the Caudan and
Sfax were plainly visible , as the ves
sels pitched and rolled. If seemed im
possible to approach them in the rough
sea.
sea.On
On the landing stage were M. Vi iile ,
the chief of detectives ; M Hennion , a
commissary of police , and a force of
gcndarms and police inspectors. Final
ly , at 11 a. m. a cutter manned by ten
men and in charge of a naval officer ,
put off from the Caudan and went
alongside the Sfax. Thence the boat
rowed to the shore , where Dreyfus
was landed at 1:30 a. m. A company
of infantry Avas drawn up at the hnid-
ing point.
Dreyfus , who had been brought
ashore in the boat , waa immediately
placed under the guard of a captain
of engineers and a sergeant and cor
poral of gendarmes , who formally
handed the prisoner over to M. Viguic.
The latter then entered a landau vith
TJreyfus and two detectives and start
ed for the railroad station.
Dreyfus did not speak a word. He
personally opened the doors of the
compartment of the special train , consisting -
sisting of three carriages and a bag-
sage car , which was in waiting As
the train was about to start the local
health officer refused to permit Drey
fus to leave , on the & -ound that he
had just arrived from the colonies.
"The matter was quickly arranged , how
ever , and the train proceeded. Dreyfus
was only visible for a moment to the
reporters.
The train stopped at Rabelais , three
kilometers from Rennes. There the
party alighted and quickly entered a
carriage drawn by two splendid horses ,
which immediately started at a sharp
advance. It was 5:30 : a. m.
At the level crossing of the line a
wagonette containing the prefect of
the department of Ille-Et-Vilaine , IVf.
"Viguie , and three inspectors joined
the party.
An amusing incident occurred there.
'The woman in charge of the crossing ,
-when told that if she watched she
would see Dreyfus , asked : "Who is
Dreyfus ? I have never even heard of
"
liim" "
The drive from Rabelais to Rennes
was without incident. Owing to the
precautions the prisoners passed un-
'noticed in front of the arsenal. Work
men reading the posters there did not
turn their heads , little suspecting who
"was passing.
The clock was striking G when the
crowd which had been waiting around
the prison , the people beginning to
think themselves the very aims of a
practical joke , saw a landau surround
ed by guardsmen beyond the station.
Then they all cried with one voice :
"There he is ! "
At this cry the people started off to
meet the carriage and suddenly troops
and mounted gendarmes hurried mad
ly forward , yelling and shouting , as if
accompanying a fire engine instead of
escorting a prisoner.
The transformation from tranquility
to a wild scene of gesticulation almost
defies description. The suddenness of
the movement stupefied everybody as
much as , apparently it did the prison
er , whose face showed from the quick
ly passing carriage. But beyond the
exclamations of surprise and curiosity
there were no cries of any sort raised.
The carriage was driven so fast that
it covered the distance in a few min
utes , passing the watchers like a flash.
It was a race for the prison gates be
tween the gendarmes with their
captive and the spectators.
Preceded by his guards , Dreyfus en
tered the prison and was consigned
to the care of the governor and taken
to a cell on the second story.
The governor of the prison sent
Mme. Dreyfus the news of the arrival
of her husband and she immediately
went to the governor and asked per
mission to see the prisoner. Leave be
ing granted , the faithful wife entered
the prison almost unobserved and was
conducted to cell No. 830 , accompanied
. by Mme. Havet.
The meeting between the long-part *
ed husband and wife can better be
imagined than described. Naturally ,
it was most touching. Both Dreyfus
and his wife were deeply affected.
They remained long clasped in each
other's arms , tears and smiles inter
mingling with tender endearments.
Up to noon there has been no sign
of a public demonstration.
.Tumps from the Brooklyn Bridge.
NEW YORK , July 3. An unknown
man dropped from the center span of
the Brooklyn bridge early today , about
130 feet from the water. Two men
who saw the suicide climbing over the
rail described him as about 54 years
of age , of fair complexion and weigh
ing abou 200 pounds. In falling he
made several revolutions of the body
and struck horizontally upon the
water. On the bridge near the place
where the man took his fatal drop
were found a brown coat and a black
fedora hat , but they afforded no clue
to his identity.

ORDERS ISSUED EOR RECRUITS.
First Stop Taken Toward Increasing
Force For OtlH.
WASHINGTON , July 3. The first
orders were Issued today for recruit
ing the troops under the clause au
thorizing the enlistment of 35,000 men
The order contemplates
enlisting men
for the three skeleton regiments in
the Philippines. Recruiting officers
have been instructed to enlist men
with this understanding.
Since the announcement that about
30.000 volunteers were to be mustered
Into the army for service in the Phil
ippines , the president has been de
luged with applications for commis
sions.
Almost every congressional
caller has one or more applicants
whom he pi esses on the president's
attention.
The president requests all his visi
tors to file their applications with Ad
jutant General Corbin. At the same
time he makes it clear in a general
way that the policy of the adminis
tration in granting commissions will
be to give preference to volunteer of
ficers who showed ability and who
performed valuable service during the
Spanish war. Some regular officers
are also to be given volunteer com
missions , in the belief that one or
two regular officers in a regiment will
be of great advantage.
The number of officers to be com
missioned is being carefully guarded
to prevent a scramble.
A statement prepared in the office
of the adjutant general of the army
shows that with the departure of the
Pennsylvania from San Francisco
about 3.500 reinforcements were dis
patched to the Philippines this week.
About half of the troops are recruits
intended to fill the gaps in the regi
ments in the Philippines caused by
deaths , 'disabilities and discharges.
There are about 3,000 recruits at San
Francisco , which are also intended to
recruit the regular regiments in the
Philippines up to their maximum
strength of 128 men to a company.
Including the Nineteenth infantry , un
der orders for Manila and troops at
San Francisco , there are 4,000 ready
to start for Manila as soon as trans
portation can be provided.
One of the members of the cabinet ,
speaking in connection with the cam
paign in the Philippines , said :
"The president has given General
Otis to understand that he is to have
all the men necessary in the conduct
of the operations against the insur
gents. General Otis has been told this
in so many words , the president hav
ing said to him in effect that if he
( Otis ) did not have enough men it
was his own fault. Before the rainy
season began General Otis was in
structed to prepare for it , and in va
rious ways was given to understand
the president's desire that the soldiers
should be well cared for and well fed.
CALL Off THE QUARANTINE.
Suspected Plague Ship at San Francisco
Released ,
SAN FRANCISCO , July 3 The
steamer Nippon Maru , suspected of
being infected with the bubonic
plague , has been released from quar
antine , after being thoroughly fumi
gated by Dr. Kinyoun , the federal
quarantine officer at Angler's island.
Its passengers and crew were held on
the island , but the steamer is now
lying off the Pacific mail docks , where
it is the intention to unload the cargo.
Although Dr. Barbat , bacteriologist
of the board of health , fears that the
baccili from the glands of the two
Japanese sailors found in the bay are
plague bacilli , from their close resem
blance to the germs of the Asiatic
disease , he cannot express a definite
opinion until today , when the cultures
will have been developed. Meantim.
the members of the board of health
declare their intention to prevent the
lan.ling of freight from the vessel.
There is a clash between the federal
authorities and the Nippon Maru af
fair. The federal authorities hava ic-
ceived instructions from Washington
to release the vessel from quarantine ,
but the board of health ha- ? gone into
the matter more deeply and has sta
tioned a squad of policemen around
the steamer to prevent any one from
leaving the suspected vessel. Dr. Bar-
bat , the bacteriologist , is convinced
that the bacilli is that of the buboniq
plague , but will innoculate a pig or
other animal with the germs to finally '
determine the question. In fhe mean
time the steamship company will ap
ply for an injunction permit' nig the
cargo of the vessel , which has hern
fumigated , to be removed. It is prob
able that the Maru will again be or
dered into the stream on the stif-ngth
of Dr. Barbat's second analysis of the
bacilli.
The passengers 'who arrived on the
Nippon Maru are still detained at tbe
Angel island quarantine station.
Ulc Indians Are Dancing1.
PRICE , Utah , July S. The White
river Uncompahgre and Uintah Utes
are dancing at White Rocks agency.
They are about 2,000 strong , and the
band of which old Sowocic is the
leader numbers fully 1,000. They are
camped in a bunch about a mile from
the agency. Among this crowd are
some 350 bucks , followers of old Sowo
cic , who says he will lead them back
to their lands in Colorado when the
dance is finished and the Green river
has gone down so it will permit of
their taking their ponies and squaws
across. This year the dance is known
as the harvest dance. Indian Agent
Myton having forbidden the sun dance.
It is nothing more or less than the old
ghost dance , or the coyote dance , and
its significance is to make bad medi
cine. One troop of the Ninth cavclry
has lately been withdrawn from Fort
Duchesne and sent to Fort Douglas ,
leaving but one troop , or 103 men. at
the Fort Duchesne post.

The ICccord-Hreaklng Pace Culls Up
Strange Imaged Along the Path Itlder
Finishes In State of Collapse Friends
on Platform Seize Keeling Cyclist at
End of ICucc.
NEW YORK , July 1. Charles M.
Murphy of the King's County Wheel
men rode a mile on a bicycle , paced
by a locomotive , in 57 4-5 seconds to
day. His course was a two-mile
board track on a siding of the Long
Island railroad. Murphy followed an
engine and a day coach , the latter be
ing provided with a hood , which
acted as a wind shield for the rider.
The board track was laid near Mayweed -
wood , L. I. , and extended from that
station two miles east , and was as
nearly perfectly level as skill could
make it. Fully 3,000 people saw Mur
phy make his daring ride.
Engineer Sam Booth had his hand
on the throttle of engine 74 when the
word was given to start at 5:10. : The
engine started at a rapid rate and be
fore 400 yards had been traversed was
running at a rate of more than fifty
miles an hour. Murphy was keeping
well within the hood.
As they neared the beginning of the
mile stretch the pace was a mile a
minute and clouds of dust obscured
the rider from the view of spectators
who lined the banks on either Fide.
Entering on the space which would
test his speed , Murphy , in reply to a
query , shouted , "I'm air right ; send
her along , " but there was no necessity
for his remarks regarding speed , as
the engineer was sending the big
steam flyer along at top speed.
The quarter was reached in 15 seconds
ends and the half in 29 2-5. The timers
for the three-quarters were Messrs.
Bieges and Stoll , the former register
ing 44 and the latter 43 4-5.
At the finish two of the watches
showed 57 4-5 , one 57 3-5 , another 58
and the fifth 57 % , which was held by
Sheriff Creamgr. The timers agreed
that Murphy covered the distance in
57 4-5.
Those on the back nlatform who
watched Murphy all through his won
derful ride stated that the rider's
handlebar had knocked against the
rubber buffer at least six times , and
each time the concussion sent him
back six feet , but Murphy always had
strength to regain this. During the
last quarter the rider covered the
ground fully a wheel length outside
the hood , but as he passed the finish
he was close up. Just then two strong
men on board the train reached down
and seized the rider by either arm
and lifted him aboard the car in
safety. Their action undoubtedly
saved Murphy's life , because he was
then in such a weak condition that
had he been allowed to remain on the
wheel he would have Been unable to
control it and a serious , if not fatal ,
accident might have happened.
Murphy was carried to the front part
of the car and laid on a cot , where a
physician administered to him and in
less than five minutes the cyclist was
able to converse with those around
him. Murphy seemed dazed at first
and said in answer to queries as to
why he fell back so many times : "I
did that so that I might not come in
contact with the planks which were
being torn up in front of me. "
Later on he did not refer to this ,
but said continually : "Boys , I always
felt that I could do this. Now that I
have done it I am satisfied and so are
many others. "
Before the train had reached Baby
lon Murphy had gained his normal
condition.
Murphy rode a 28-inch wheel , geared
to 120 , 6-inch cranks , and the weight
of the machine was twenty and one-
half pounds.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR OTIS.
Thirty-Five Hundred Sail This "Week and
More Aivnlt Transportation.
WASHINGTON , July 1. A state
ment prepared in the office of the ad
jutant general of the army shows that
with the departure of the Pennsylva
nia from San Francisco about 3,500 re
inforcements were dispatched to the
Philippines this week. These troops
are carried on the transports Zealan-
dia , Sheridan , Valencia and Pennsyl
vania and include fifty-nine officers
and 3,444 enlisted men. About half of
the troops are recruits intended to fill
gaps in the regiments in the Philip
pines caused by deaths , disabilities and
discharges. There are about 3,000 re
cruits at San Francisco , which are also
intended to recruit the regular regi
ments in the Philippines up to their
maximum strength of 128 men to a
company. Including the Nineteenth in
fantry , under orders for Manila , and
troops at San Francisco , there are 4,000
ready to start for Manila as soon as
transportation can be provided.
The war department is awaiting ad
vices from General Otis before pro
ceeding actively with the enlistment
of volunteers under the recent decision
of the administration to organize nine
regiments of three battalions each , in-
eluding the three skelton regiments in
the Philippines , amounting in all to
about 10,000 volunteers.
Everything is in readiness for the
proposed increase in the army and the
entire machinery of enlistment and or
ganization can be put into operation
at a moment's notice. The necessary
orders will be given as soon as the in
formation desired from General Otis
is received.

SPYING ON PLANTS' GROWTH.
Alovlng 1'icturo Machine Pressed Into
Xow Service.
WASHINGTON , July 3. The Agri
cultural department his pressed the
moving picture machine into the serv
ice of science. The division of vege
table pathology has a machine of this
sort in operation in one of its green
houses photographing the growth of a
small oak tree. The machine works
automatically , taking a picture each
hour. At night an electric light Is
thrown into the circuit as the exposure
is made. The machine has been run
ning about two weeks and will be
kept going about two weeks longer on
its present subject. When the series
of pictures is completed it will be pos
sible to icproduce with the stereopticon -
con the giowth of the plant from the
time the first shoot appeared above
ground till the tree is in full leaf and
a foot or more high.
While the oak tree pictures are pure
ly experimental to develop the capacity
of the machine it is intended to use
the cereal photographs in watching
the progress of plant diseases , blights ,
insect parasites and the like. The de
partment hopes in the near future to
be able to loan to the agricultural col
leges and experiment stations rolls of
lantern slides film to illustrate certain
of the department's bulletins.
It is pointed out that a lecture be
fore a class of students could show in
five minutes the growth and seed dis
tribution of any noxious plant , such
as the Canadian thistle or the life his
tory of an insect pest , so that it could
be readily recognized and combated on
its first appearance in a vegetable , al
though the workers there had never
seen it in actual life.
In addition to the straight photo
graphic work expected of the new ma
chine its designer intends to adopt it
to use with the X-ray , so as to take
pictures of certain objects that other
wise would be invisible. It is thought
by the department that a series of
pictures of this sort taken during the
period of gestation would be of value
to stockraisers and might be adopted
to the use of the medical profession
in certain lines of research.
CANNIBALISM iN KLONDIKE.
Story of Horrible .Suffering Endured by
the Argonauts.
CHICAGO , July 3. A special to the
Chronicle from Portland , Ore. , says :
"The stones of cannibalism practiced
in Alaska are enhanced in their hideousness -
eousness in a letter received here yes
terday by Captain Hans Svensen from
Majonine , in the Kotsebue sound
country. The writer , Olof Jorgensen ,
depicts a condition without parallel.
He , with two other sailors , hailing
from Stockholm , Peter Martin and
Atigust Olsen , together with twenty
others , went to the Kotzebue country
last September from Seattle.
The letter incloses one to Jorgen-
sen's mother in Stockholm , which
Martin , in some roundabout manner ,
succeeded in mailing at St. Michaels ,
where he is now lying at the point of
death , unable to give an account of
what he and his fellows suffered. Jor-
gensen's letter to his mother must
hava been written some days before
he penned his to Svensen , as it is more
lucid.
After explaining how he and his col
leagues seperated from the rest of the
argonauts and went prospecting on
their own account with dogs and
sledges Jorgensen told how they got
lost in the mcst inhospital region on
earth in December last.
The greater part of their provisions
.were stolen by wild beasts and by
January they had nothing left but a
few sides of bacon.
"Hunger also stalked among us , "
added Jorgensen , "and you have not
even a faint idea what it means among
a gang of hopeless men , desperate in
the extreme. A dozen cf my party
died in thirty days and we then began
to cast lots for healthy human flesh.
There are only four of us alive , but
all too weak to travel , excepting Mar
tin , who will try to mail this letter
and obtain relief. But I suppose the
letter will be too late. "
The writer says that only a few
days before he discovered a large nest
of nuggets peering out of the frozen
ground of his tent , but he turned from
tne gold with disgust.
JURY FINDS COLE NOTJiUILTY.
Out Only an Hour Accused Man Shouts
for Joy ivhon He Hears the Verdict.
BLOOMINGTOX , Neb. , July 3The
jury in the Cole case , after being out
one hour , informed the baliff that they
had reached a decision. He immedi
ately informed the judge , who had re
tired , and he came up and opened
court. Cole was brought in and took
his accustomed place by his attorney ,
Mr. Moore. His other attorney , Mr.
Byrum , was absent. The foreman then
handed the judge the verdict , and
when he read it Cole'jumped from his
chair and shouted :
"Glcry to God ! " Then he leaped
over the table and shook hands with
the jury and his attorney and every
body in sight. After awhile he left the
court room , clapping his hands.
This ends one of the most sensa
tional trials ever held in Franklin
county. John Philip Kreichbaum dis
appeared on December 2 , and soon
Tooman and Cole began to haul off
the stuff on the farm. Immediately
foul play began to be suspected and
Tooman and Cole were spotted as the
men who had committed the crime.
On the night of December 14 the body
of Kreichbaum was found in a hole in
the stable floor on Kreichbaum's place.
Tooman and Cole were arrested and
confined in jail at this place , and while
Tooman has not always been the fa
vorite , Cole has now the favor of all
who visited him , by his honesty and
straightforwardness. He was tried in
March at the time Tooman was con
victed , but the jury on the Cole case
failed to agree. Since he. was arrested
he has been in jail and tonight , when
he was released a free citizen , he went
down the stairs on the jump and clap
ping his hands. All Bloomington was
aroused and many pressed around to
congratulate Cole , but he quickly went
to the home of his relatives. It is re
ported that he and Grace Tooman are ,
engaged , but this cannot be ascertain
ed for sure.
ilob Law at Brussels Seriously Continues
Its Swaj ,
THE BELGIANS RIPE TOR REVOLT
Wild Time In Deputies Forces Adjourn
ment The Premier Ituproached and
Threatened With Violence Crotvds on
the OntHldu IIa\e Collision With the
Troops.
BRUSSELS , July 1. The storm of
verbosity was renewed In the chamber
of deputies yesterday. The socialists
hurled anathemas at M. J. Vanden
Pereboom , who endeavored to explain
the action taken by the police yester
day and the socialists persistently in
terrupted and insulted the premier , reproaching
preaching him with being responsi
ble for yesterday's conflicts between
the people and the police.
Although a vote censuring the gov
ernment was rejected by the chamber
by a vote of sixty-seven to thirty-one ,
the tumult was so great that the r res
ident suspei.'Ied the sitting. The so
cialists then led a cheating crowd ,
shouting "viva la republique" to the
park , where a conflict with gendarm
es occurred. Thence the mob pro
ceeded to the public square , the shops
closing as the rioters approached.
Later it was announced that King
Leopold had a long conference with
Vanden Pereboom , Bergere and Beer-
gaert. The latter has neon summon
ed from The Hague. It was reported
that M. Vanden Pereboom would ic-
sign.
sign.When
When the chamber reassembled to
night M. Destre , socialist , called atten
tion to the riots which had occurred
since the adjournment , in which he
was struck by a gendarme's sword
and demanded the man's punishment.
Thereupon the chamber at once re
turned to a state of tumult , the social
ists , surrounding M. Vanden Pore-
boom with clenched fists , denouncing
him. As the tumult increased the
chamber rose.
In the meantime the streets were
filled by a shouting mob , which event
ually gathered in front of the war
ministry , where gendarmes with their
swords drawn attempted to disperse
the rioters.
Orders have been issued prohibiting
street assemblages tonight.
At the conclusion of u great meet
ing in the town hall this evening thou
sands attempted to cross the grand
place , in which the town hall stands.
Ihe gendarmes charged with diuwn
swords and the crowd retaliated with
stones. Shots were fired on both
sides. Three persons were wounded
and a police officer war severely slab
bed with a shoemaker's knife.
The rioters on being dispersed as
sembled in the Rue Royal , tea ; ing
up the paving stones and using tnese
missiles. Finally the civic guard was
ordered out to relieve the police. De
spite these attempts to suppress the
disturbances rioting continued to a
late hour , many persons being in
jured.
Ultimately the troops were called
and thirty-five arrests were made ,
many of those taken in custody being
in possession ot revolvers.
The public prosecutor , with his en
tire stall , remains on permanent duty
at the Hotel de Ville.
It is rumored that one man who was
wounded has since died at the hos
pital.
The bill of M. Vanden Pereboom
seeks to perpetuate the clerical domin
ation of the country. It provide * for
a proportional representation in dis
tricts electing more than three mem
bers. The liberals and socialists rea
lize that its effect would be to maintain
the Catholic representation in the
smaller constituencies and practically
to exclude the liberals and socialists
from the larger districts
A new Bernaert ministry is predict
ed as the outcome of the agitation. In
extent the crisis is one of the most
serious that has occurred in Belgian
history.
Says Kennedy Is Innocent.
SPRINGFIELD , Mo. , July 1. Will
iam Jennings , or "Bill' Ryan , ono cf
the convicted Macomb tr.iin robbers ,
has made a written confession , in
which he declares that Kennedy is in
nocent of the crime of which he has
been adjudged guilty.
In the course of his confession Jen
nings , or Ryan , says : "In company
with another man I arrived at Xigh's
house on Christmas eve , at which place
we planned said hold-up and carried
it out , , and I know all ol the parties
concerned in said robbery , and just
as sure as there is a God in heaven ,
just so sure is there one man who
stands convicted of being one or the
party in said hold-up that is as inno
cent of being at Macomb on January
3 or in the neighborhood thereof as a
new-born babe , and that man is John
F. Kennedy. "
He adds that if Shepard will speak
he can corroborate this.

course of an official communication to
Governor General Brooke , complains
of statements occasionally printed in
American newspapers regarding the

appeared ton days or so ago , which
asserted that persons who had just re
turned from Havana declared that
there was more yellow fever in Cuba
than it was the policy of the adminis
tration to allow the public to know ,

of the American authorities in Havana
