( New York World Cable gram Special Telegram. ) ! was tbe only newspaper man who wit * present when Cap tain Dreyfus landed on French soil. When 3 Jearned yesterday that M. Vigule , chief of French detectives , had gone to 1'Orient. 1 folio-wed on the next train. During the reg ular slop at Auray 1 discovered that a mys terious special train was speeding out of the Qulbcron branch. Immediately It flashed through my mind that the Qulberon pcnln- nula was marvelouhly suited for eflectlng the landing ol Dreyfuh , and so l abandoned the trip to ruricnt and followed the special train. I found Qulboron a small , picturesque town Port Hallguen lies a mile away and I -walked the distance , passing M Vigule and several of ihls staff on the way Now I was r.ure that I was on tbe right track. At Hall- guen the gtsnd'annch and t ivll police were noticeably on the alert. 1 wanned tbe bay unxiously. yet no war ship was In sight. But nt fi o'clock that evening libhermeu coming in announced that the cruiser Sfax , which ei crybotlj knew took Dreyfus on board at Devil's Ibland to bring him home , was lying thix-e miles , on the other side of the cape toward 1'Onent. Immediately 1 hired fislier- Ejen to take me out to the war * > hlp We iiad proceeded only a short way when we found that the sea was too rough for us to turn tiht point and my project of reaching the Sfax had to be abandoned. I was. however , the only American news- 7iaper man In the small place of IPO inhab itants and H was certain I could not miss being the first to nee Captain Dreyfus after ! hls long exile. An hour passed , then two. The weather was becoming frightful. It -was raining in sheets. At P o'clock two iclosnd carriages came rolling up to the pater front and a little later a company of infantry marched along the street , taking positions near the carriages. A cloud of gendarmes .rieared the. waierj'front , . > j > 5 ' Milii > . Slnm-in M > ntrrliin lj-- . My credentials as a correspondent h d not lice.n recognized by the authorities , hut I pect-rcd a room on the first floor of a house i "whose windows commanded the landing | place. The darkness was intense , only the i lighthouse being Visible out at sea. The | tempest became more furious and afl the curious" throng were gradually discouraged "by the long waiting behind the line of tuildiers Suddenly through night glasses I saw the lights on board hhip. There was no tignal. no sound , save the hissing storm. Then at 11 o'clock anotlier ship appeared , both about a mile off shore. . For a long time , interminable it seemed , they maneuvered In en uncompre-henslble manner. Twelve o'clock sounded on the bellh of the Quiberon dhurch in the distance. It was all very dramatic. Occasionally weird lightning flashed. On the angry waves the two war hlilpji were bobbing up and down und in front of the fihhcrmen'h huts the poor , drenched soldiers Ftood motionless in long lines , with bayonets fixed. At 1 o'clock I went to the officers and asked the reason Sir the Ions delay. They drove m back to my quarters , but they , too. were evidently uneasy and impatient. Tbe puns of tlic soldiers were stacked and the troopers vure resting. M Viguie nervously looked sidcwlhe as if unable to understand tbo Inaction of those abord the war ships. ! 1 saw lilm in the harbormaster's cabin con- Ftaully telegraphing to ParlE and Rcnncb. Then he came out. "How can we expect to get him to Rennes lief ore daylight ? " he ahked of M. Htnion , the representative of the minister of Interior , "with all t'hls bungling.

God bless you. " Then the train moved. Ill * Condition Pltlnlile. Mme. Dreyfus has teregraphe'd Clemenceau that the condition of her husband is heart breaking ; that he would be a physical wreck she expected , but his mental change she found especially lamentable. He seems to have almost lost speech , speaking slowly and reluctantly. He lh not forgiving. On the contrary , he is very bitter. He said to his wife : "A man who has suffered w hat I have suffered never forgives , does not want to for give. What 1 have been through was worse ! than hell. " Dreyfus IE so utterly soured that he shows no great happiness at his return. He paces his coir and sneers"Still In prison. " Mme. Dreyfus was allowed to see him twice today. She has obtained permission to send , his meals to him and now Is trying ; to secure a consultation of physicians to' i decide whether or not to send him to a hospital. Tbe wife evidently expects less i change. Her visits have crushed her spirits. Now she weeph constantly and plteously. Fnrr Hidden liy n Clonk. LONDON. July 1. The Pall Mall Gazette's account of the landing of Dreyfus saysHe j was almost entirely hidden by n hooded cloak and ar there was no light beyond n few lanterns It was only possible to catch the barest glimpse of his unkempt gray beard and haggard , anxious features. Amid a few timid cries of "Abas Dreyfus. " which the gendarmes Immediately silenced , he entered - tered a carriage , which drove to the sta tion as rapidly as the Intense darkness per mitted BREST. France , July 1. The Sfnx has Just been signaled passing Sein island , about three hours distant , outside of Brest. The landing of Dreyfus at Qulheronwas a com plete surprise to the admiral and other authorltlefi here , who even now have not yet been officially notified of the fact. TRIAL RACE OFTHE SHAMROCK l.ljiton'n nont "U'lll Have Pnre Cnt Out for It \ > y Dip Ynclit Ilrltnnnln. ( Copyright. 1SB9 , by Press Publishing Co. ) SOUTHAMPTON. July 1. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Although - though everything is being kept f ecrcl ratn the .trial of the Shamrock and-the Britmrnla , the Shamrock will probably be completed as fur as possible now by Wednejiday , whilst the Britannia win not be much later , though it is being recoppered. The point hae now been set nt rest as to whether there are to 1 be any races. When the statement was first made the explanation was given to the press i that no racing was intended , the Shamrock would merely test her speed with the Britan nia , but since it has ibeeu officially staled that there will be racing , the Prince of Wales win , if possible , be present on at least one occasion but no dates are yet fixed. Captain O'Nelfl has been interviewed and in reply to a question said : "I have seen the Shamrock , but 1t is very difficult ns yet to express anything like re liable opinion , but we have been watching ; very carefully the Columbia's trials with the Defender. 1 know the Defender of old. She If a fast boat and one by no means easy to beat , therefore it was surprising see how easily the Columbia beat her. That is. of course , if reports are accurate. If the Columbia can sail at the rate indicated , nil I J can say is that the Shamrock has a her work cut out. But she is a beautiful craft. " The whole raring outfit of rope for the Shamrock.

Nature smiled on the opening day exer cises of the Greater America Exposition , i I leaving man to do the reel in the way of ' making the enterprise a success. Ttie day ' was perfect. Of course it was hot. as a 1 July day is expected to be. yet a cool and gentle bwer.e tempered the rays of the sun | | and the white and fleecy clouds that scudded along zenith and horizon did muoh toward making the beat Iwarable. During the early morning the trains react ing thscity w-ere comfortably filled with | Ptrancers coming to the city. They were not ' crowded , yet later in the day there was a | little more of a Jam. Those who came In I the morning as a rule disembarked in the I . business center , while those who came later [ I Rent direct to the exposition grounds , that i ! ' they might be present at the opening exer cises. The parade from the city to the grounds was distinctively military , and in fact it was a reunion of the volunteers and soldiers of Nebraska who fought in Cuba , Porto Rico and the Philippines. Many of the boys reached the city Friday evening , but more came yesterday morning. As a rule they were not clad in bright new uniforms , such as they wore when they left their homes a few months ago to fight lor ttoeir country's flag , but instead they wore the blue that showed signs ot service seen in the swamps and everglades of Cuba and Luzon. However , the boys were given a most hearty -welcome I and were the recipients of loud and lone ' cheen. from the time of leaving the respect ive , depots until they passed through the { gates of th exposition grounds. j > MHtnrjFVatnrr * of thr Paradr. j Like all ptherftparadeB , the one yesterday 'as" slow In'Starjlng it was- billed to more a t 11 o'clock , hut It "vras an hour later be- j fore the command was given. The forma- ' tlon was along Douglas street , from Six teenth east to Fourteenth , with the right ' and left resting on the cross streets. It was i headed by a squad of police under Sergeant I I i ! Hayed , who kept the streets cleared and j opened a passageway for the procession , j The parade was In charge of Colonel Camp- ' bell.

The last military organization in the line was a detachment of the First Nebraska. The passing of these boys was grestefl with I many cheers and handclapping. jet there was something pathetic about their appear ance. They comprised a remnant of the gallant boyr who have spent more than a year in the Philippines. There were but I twelve of them , coming from almost as j many companies of the regiment. They were the men who have been wounded In ' the engagements with the Filipinos or who ! I | have t > een sent home after struggling with : the enemy and fevers of the pwampt and i jungles of the islands. They wore all in uniform , but thnir uniforms were tattered and torn and cut by the bullets of the treacherous native * whom thej- originally j went abroad to assist , and who later on turned against them. The little command was officered by First Sergeant Smith. " The next organization in the division was the Cadet hand of the Omaha High school , ' ' followed by the boys , nearly 200. In command of Major TenByrk , Quartermaster Homan. ' Adjutant Hughes and Captains Wherry and ' Alvlson cud Lieutenant Powell. The boys wore the regulation uniforms and carried their puns. They marched with the pre- rision of soldiers and came in for a goodly share of the applause along the line of inarch. ' The Council Bluffs High school cadets to the number of sixty , under command of Major Butts and Captain Hanrhett. brought up the rear of the division.

A puzr.ling feature of the contest to a great many people has been the zeal which so many persons displayed on behalf of candidates almost unknown to them personally , and this can only be ex- plained by attributing it to the love for sport whirti chararterizeb Americans. When the contest began to attract gen eral and constant attention the success of particular candidates became a matter of pride in the firm , nnd not only fellow em ployes , but in a large number of cases even the members of Uie firm themselves took active jiart on behalf of the young lady rep resenting them The arrangement whereby a year's subs'-ription to The Bee vai. al- lowed to count for a large number of votes was responsible In great menmire for the ex- cltemenl of the contest , us with a few yearly subscriptions a candidate was often able to effect an entire rearrangement of the run- iiing order. Early In tbe campaign It was realized that yearly subscriptions were the great source of rtrength and that hallot- clipping , while not to be disregarded en- tlrely , was not a method over which to ex pend muoh time or energy. Friends and acquaintances v.cre therefore at < ked to subscribe and ; ; up a year's sub scription. Thlt practice started slowly , but when tbe Important results of it begun to appear , and when It was seen that an hour's work in an evening would furnUh new ex citement for the next day , people ceased to wait to be asked to subscribe , but began ( .ending and bringing in yearly subscription , and canting a block of votei , for their vari ous candi au-t. Toward the end. wbt > n time became a factor , it became tbe custom to call a candidate up by telephone and inform her whore she could pick up a few thousand vtrtuB. Naturally the last few hours vwe filUid with scurrying back asid forth for the ' managers and their proteges. i i | JUKI I.iUr a Jti.cr. j l Tb ? contest had all the feature * nf a race , i ' with tbe column of name * for a course , and the line of black type at the top for a I wire.

( Special Tele gram. ) Tbe sailing of the Hancock today from Manila with the First Nebraska , and the Utah troops on board , announced by press dlnpatchet. from the Philippines , while unconfirmed by officials at the War depart ment , is thought lo b * authentic. In view of the vessel having been ballasted pevcral days ago. For a number of days the transport which made an unprecedented run from San Francisco to Manila , has been receiving coal at Manila as ballast , tbe owner * , of the Ktcarahhip having refused to accept the re sponsibility of coaling a hlp at u foreign port where tbe facilities ate as meager as those at Manila. It it said that coal liar to be carried on chipboard on the heads of natives , many of whom are women , and this greatly retards the iromptness to get vessels away from their piorh.
