FRENCH ARMY IS DISCIPLINED.
Gen. de Negricr'a Removal Meant as
a Warninjr to the Militasy.
The removal of Gen. de Negrier from
the French council of war is the most
'important move yflt taken by the new
Government in the cause of discipline.
It may be regarded as the supreme test
of the Government's strength. The na
tionalist papers are wild with rage over
the latest "affront" to the army , which
they say has been beheaded. Many , per
sons even who are supporting the new
ministry think that this was a step of
doubtful wisdom , as likely to goad the
militarj' to desperation.
Gen. de Xegrier was at no time mixed
up in the Dreyfus affair. He has distin
guished himself for bravery and skill as
n soldier and general , and was on the
road to succeed to the position of gener
alissimo of the forces. His disgrace is
meant as a warning to the militarj' not
to organize conspiracies against the re
public. This was , in a way , De Negrier's
offense.
The Government learned of his meth
ods through an address made by Col.
Bertrand to his ofQcers at Auxonne
shortly after the departure of Gen. de
Xegrier from a visit of inspection to the
garrison there Col. Bertrand said :
"Gentlemen , owing to the attacks upon
the army , the generals of the council of
war have determined upon the day after
the conclusion of the Dreyfus trial to
wait upon the Government and demand
that these attacks cease. If they do not ,
the generals will act. "
Col. Bertrand was summoned by the
war office to explain these words , and he
said that he made the address in accord
ance with De Xegrier's order. The war
council subsequently told the Govern
ment they did not share the sentiment
expressed.
WARSHIPS SAIL TO HAYTI.
They Will Protect American Interests
in San Iomin ro. I
Secretary Long Friday issued orders
detaching the cruiser Xew Orleans from
the Xorth Atlantic squadron at Newport
and directing her to proceed a't once to
Santo Domingo city. Orders were issued
also to the Machais at St. Thomas , to
proceed to the same point via San Juan.
These orders -were made at the instance
of , the State Department and xas a pre
cautionary measure owing to the 'disturb
ed conditions following the assassination
of President Heureaux of San Domingo.
The trouble between the Government
of San Domingo and its creditors has
reached an' acute stage. The'creditors ,
who are almost entirely Americans , have
begun to clamor for an American protec
torate , which would necessarily be the
first step in the direction of annexation.
Political plots are already shaping them
selves. The adherents of Gen. Jiminez
seek to put him at the head of affairs ,
while the friends of Gen. Maximo Go
mez are talking of making him the ruler
of the republic. It is said by oilicers
who have recently been in San Domingo
that interference by this Government
would be welcomed by a large proportion
of the inhabitants of the island.

The balloon ascension was one of the spe

idly and moved to the southeast about
half a mile before Thayer cut loose.
AVhon he did so the balloon was already

struck the parachute , overturning it , and
all * descended together. When Thayer's

DEATH OF LUETGERT.
Notorious Sausage-Maker Suddenly
Expires in His Prison Cell.
Adolpli Luetgert , who was serving a
life sentence "in the Illinois State peui-
tentiai-y at Joliet for Ac murder of bis
wife , Louisa , died suddenly at a few
minutes before 7 o'clock Thursday morn
ing * The probable cause of his death
was heart disease.
It was thought at first that he might
have killed himself , but the prison phy
sician , after examining the body , con
cluded that death resulted from natural
causes. There were no indications of
poisoning , nor were there any marks on
the body. To all appearances Luetgert
had been in the best of health , although
he had been suffering from rheumatism.
The chaplain of the prison said that
in the several talks he had with the pris-
ADOLPH I , . LUETGEBT.
oner he had always declared his inno
cence of any crime. He was confident
he would be vindicated in time and that
the Supreme Court would grant him a
rehearing. lie frequently spoke about
his case and all his thoughts seemed to
be upon it. The warden and his deputies
all 'pronounce Luetgert to have been a
well-behaved prisoner. The only trouble
which they ever had with him was a
little argument he got into with a repre
sentative of a large packing house over
the meat furnished. He had to be placed
in solitary confinement as a punishment
for his conduct.
Luetgert's passing away marks the
closing chapter of one of the most grew-
some murder mysteries in the annals of
criminology his debt to the law which
was fixed .by a jury at life imprisonment
has been wiped out.
EVANSVILLE MINERS RIOT. -
Non-Unionists Attacked The , Mayor
Forbids Parade.
Rioting and disorder prevailed at two
of the Evansville coal mines Wednesday.
As the colored non-union miners came
from the First avenue mines they were
mot by a crowd of boys Avho carried tin
cans. Several stones were hurled at
them. AVhen a block away from the
mine the miners pulled their revolvers
and opened fire on the crowd. No one
was hurt.
Several hundred people gathered and
the police dispersed the crowd and es
corted the miners home. Nearly 1,000
striking miners , their families and sym
pathizers were at the John Ingle mine
when the colored miners quit work. Both
the strikers and non-union men were
armed. Mayor Akin issued a proclama
tion forbidding the miners to parade.

Illinois Valley's Demand on Chicago

is done the association , by implication ,
promises to withdraw opposition to the

This was the net result of the meeting
of the association at Whitehall , 111. Five

result of their deliberations was incorpo

. How IndJans Swear Piously.
It is said that a certain-tribe of Indi
ans have a useful divinity which they
call a swearing god. It 5s very small ,
equally ugly aud even more convenient.
It generally stands on a pedestal , or Is
nailed to the wall of the living room ,
and the use of the picturesque lan
guage In its presence Is accounted not
a sin , but a pious duty.
Thus If an Indian bruises his finger ,
or his cayuse steps Into a prairie dog's
bole and wickedly breaks his leg , be
confines himself to general remarks on
tbe weather until he reaches home and
sees again the comforting /ace of the
grinning devil. Then he becomes sud
denly possessed of the eloquence of a
mule driver , and the things that he
says would make any ordinary elfigy
slirirel up with borror , but tbe swear
ing god is used to it.
After all , so-called civilized beings
are not so far beyond the Indian. When
we get angry at a man we burn him in
effigy , or hang up a doll whose distort
ed features convey our impressions of
his unworth. and throw stones at it.

ters are handed over to the Emperor
unopened , those marked "official" land
in the civic cabinet of the Kaiser if
they contain petitions by civilians ,
while those of a military character go
to the military cabinet. Chiefs of these
two departments make all the neces
sary inquiries regarding tbe communi
cation , and then prepare tbe answers
in accordance with the regulations for
official letters. These answers are taken
to tbe Emperor , who expresses his ap
proval by affixing his signature. An
swers are then dispatched by special
messengers to their destination. Tbe
messengers used in this service are tbe
most trustworthy men who can be
