TARIS. Oct. 6. The body of Emlle Zola
v.s laid to rmt teday with simple but Im
pressive ceremonies. It was such funeral
a Zola himself would have wished, without
pomp, but with the ranks of thousand of
vforslngmen. many accompanied by their
wives, sorrowfully marching behind his
coffin. Municipal guards, mounted and on
foot, lined the route, but except for a com
pany of Infantry, which rendered military
bonors to the body as It was carried from
the house to the hearse, they were there
s guardians of order and not aa partici
pants In the ceremony.
Former Captain Dreyfus marched In the
funeral cortege, according to the authority
of the prefect of police, but he passed com
pletely unnoticed by the crowd. A little
distance behind him came Mme. Dreyfus,
accompanied by her father. Dreyfus sent
a handsome wreath, which was plared beside
the coffin.
Drrafo Asks March.
The Temps today says Dreyfus went to
the Zola house yesterday evening and
watched beside the corpse with the family.
He induced Mme. Zola to give him bnr-k
his promise not to attend the funeral, and
be walked In the procession today between
La Lance, a former protesting deputy from
Alsace In the German Reichstag, and M.
Monod, a member of the Institute.
Long before 1 o'clock this afternoon, the
hour fixed for the start of the cortege from
the Zola residence In the Rue De Bru
teiles, an immense concourse began gath
ering along the short route leading to the
entrance of the Mont Manre cemetery
from which the public was completely ex
cluded from midday. The Immediate vicin
ity of the house waa surrounded by a
cordon of police, through which but rela
tives and Intimate friends of Zola were
allowed to pass.
Facing the house was drawn up a double
line of Infantry, commanded by a captain
on horseback. The soldiers were there to
render the military honors due to a de
ceased officer of the LerMon of Honor.
The broad portal of the Zola residence
was hung with black drapery, which wag
relieved with allver stars and fringes aud
surmounted by three silver Z's.
From American Frenchmen.
A handsome hearse with sable plumes
on the roqf and on the heads of the two
borses attached to It stood before the door.
The hearae waa also cnvelopei In black and
silver housings. Preceding the hearse were
three other cars, almost hidden beneath
masses of magnificent floral offerings from
Zola's admirers In all parts of the world,
including the immense wreath of giant
chrysanthemums bearing the words, "From
the Frenchmen of San Francisco."
Mme. Zola wished to follow her hus
band's body to the tTPve. but hr doctors
absolutely forbade her to do so. She there
for bade farewell to the remains In the
mortuary chamber. Her grief waa most
poignant when the coffin was removed to
the entrance hall of the house where It
rested a few minutes.
The bier was then borne through the
floor. Aa It emerged to the street the
mounted officer of Infantry saluted It with
bis sword and the two lines of soldiers pre
sented arms. The crowd of mourners In
front of the house uncovered and amid a
deep silence, broken only by the melan
coolly rolling of muffled druma. the coffin
was laid in the hearae. Beautiful wreaths
of violets were aranged about It and the
pallbearers. Mm. Chaumle and Herman, rep
resenting the Society of Dramatlats; Ludo
vlo Halery and Octave Mlrbau, the de
ceaaed'a publishers; Charpentier and Faa
quelle. and M. Briat. in behalf of the min
ers, took tbelr places bealde the coffin with
the tasselad cords In their hands, and the
procession started for the cemetery.
Only Rrapeet Shown.
Among the masses of spectators which
lined the route there were probably many
who were not admircra of M. Zola, but the
deep respect for the dead which la Inherent
In Frenchmen prevented a discordant note,
and everybody uncovered as the hearse
paased. The cortege eutered the deserted
cemetery and followed the avenue through
the tombs to the crossroads, where a small
platform had been erected for the funeral
orators. This platform faced the catafal
que upon which the coffin waa depoalted.
Here It rested beneath the overhanging
boughs of lime trees from which during the
speeches yellow leaves fluttered down
upon It.
M. Chaumle was the first speaker. He
Mid the government waa In honor bound
to participate in the funeral of one of the
highest literary glorlea of France whose
death had cast the country into mourning.
Zola's life-work had been dominated by
anxiety for sincerity and truth, the speaker
said an anxiety Inspired by his great feel
ings of duty and Justice.
Kcho of Dreyfaa Salt.,
Alluding to Zola's part In the Dreyfus
affair, M. Chaumle said that whenever a
cause appeared to htm aa a Just one, be
regarded It bis Imperious duty to defend
It. although be bad to brave unreasonable
anger, suffer furious Insults and unjust
hatred and most painful abandonments for
so doing. These clamors are already dylug
out, continued the speaker, and death Is
printing with it appeasemeut and calm. It
has hastened the definitive hour of Justice
and all truly high-minded men, whatever
part tbey may have taken In the struggle,
sow bow before this coffin.
M. Herman, on behalf of the Boctetler of
Authors and Dramatists, then gave an elo
quent review of Zola's labors.

OMAHA, CI,
tole France, one of the moet ardent cham
pions of the revision of the Dreyfus case.
M. France said that Zola's work could be
compared only to that of Tolstoi, but that
Tolstoi bad built up a city of resignation,
whereas the Ideal of Zola had been work.
The speaker dwelt upon the democratic
aim of tbe dead novelist's work, and then
burst Into a powerful tribute to Zola's
part In the Dreyfus affair and a denun
ciation of bla enemies. He said he would
not maintain a cowardly silence over the
coffin vof bis friend, and spoke of the sin
ister situation In the country, when the
populace, excited by lies, believed it had
been betrayed and felt exasperated. Then
Zola wrote to the president of France that
terrible letter, In which he denounced for
gery and felony. M. France then recalled
the yells of rage and ahouta of "death"
which had pursued Zola to tbe law court
during the long trial, which, he aald. had
been Judged In voluntary Ignorance of the
case on false tcatlmony and amid tht
rattling of swords.
"In those days," continued M. France,
"many good citizens despaired of tbe sal
vation of the fatherland and of the moral
fortune of tbe country, but all was saved;
Zola's courageous wnrds had awakened
France. The consequences of his action
were Incalculable. A new order of thlnca
had been founded; better Justice and a
deeper knowledge of the rights of all men
bad come from his act."
Applause broke frequently from M.
France's hearers during his speech and the
crowd at the entrance of the cemetery heard
and re-echoed it.
Laborers Pay Retaecta.
At the conclusion of the oration the rela
tives of the deceased novelist grouped
themselves beside the coffin and a monster
procession, composed mainly of members
of labor organizations, was allowed ta enter
the cemetery and file past tbe body. Tbe
majority of those who marched wore a red
flower, the socialist emblem, in tbelr but
tonholes; others wore bouquets of violets.
Each delegation brought a wreath and de
posited It bt-slde the coffin. A deputation of
miners In their working costumes carried
a bunch of flowers fastened to a pole. The
people plucked the flowers and ferns which
had aircwn the coffin during the ceremony
and carried them away aa souvenirs until
none was left. After the march past, the
coffin was placed in a temporary vault. Tbe
proceedings were perfectly orderly until tbe
delegations left the cemetery. Then several
of trbe leading actors In the Dreyfus af
fair, such aa Colonel Flcquart. Maitre La
bor and M. Joures, were recognised and
loudly cheered. Maitre Labor!, who was
greatly excited, addressed a few words to
the crowd, but fearing that his words would
lead to trouble, the police Induced blm and
Colonel ricquart to enter the lodge at the
gate of the cemetery and remain there until
the crowd had -dispersed. A few scuffles
occurred on the Boulevard de Fllchy.
Groups of socialists mar;hed by singing
"The Carmagnole" and Carlisle responded
with counter cries, but the imposing force
of guards and police prevented serious col
lisions. A policeman was wounded during
one row. A few arrests were made, but
tbe prisoners were afterward released.

NEW ORLEANS, La., Ocf. 5. The con
dition of inactivity that has cheracterUwd
the street car strike for eight days Is to
undergo a change tomorrow. Mayor Cap
devtlle tonight notified the railway company
that It would have to operate Ita cars upon
all lines on or before 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. While tbe alternative action of
tbe city authorities Is not stated in the
letter, It is understood that steps may be
taken to attack tho franchise of the com
pany. Tbe company tonight sent advertisements
to tbe papers offering 20 cents en hour
to experienced motormen and conductors.
While not directed to the strikers tbe ad
vertisement Is evidently intended aa a con
cession to them, as it is an advance of
2 cents an hour on what they were getting
on the old contract. It Is understood that
the company has received nearly 200 ap
plications under tbe calls printed two days
ago.
It is positively asserted by the company
that Its cars will be run tomorrow.
It developed later that the union adopted
an ultimatum which it gave the railway
company until 9 a. m. to accept. It was
delivered at 8:24 and was allowed to go by
default. It was in effect the same proposi
tion which the merchants Induced the ex
ecutive board to consent to Friday, 23 cents
an hour and eight hours a day.
The railway company sent a letter to the
mayor Just before midnight stating that it
he was ready to furnish protection tbey
were ready to run tho cars.

8T. LOUIS. Oct. 5. The June grand Jury,
which has been In session continuously
since It was called Into being, has made
Ita final report and has been discharged.
No written or verbal communication ac
companied the report
The report waa made In Judge Ryan's
division of the court while the trial of
Snyder was In progress. While Assistant
Circuit Attorney Bishop waa making the
opening argument for the state to the Jury,
Judge Douglas of division No. 8 ascended
the bench and sat with Judge Ryan. Judg?
Douglas had sworn In the grand Jury and
hla presence was necessary when It made
Its report, although the report was tnadu
to Judge Ryan.
The Snyder Jury was instructed to retire
to the Jury room before the grsnd Jury
was admitted. When Morton Jourdan of
Snyder's counsel learned In the afternoon
that the grand Jury was to report, he de
clared that It was a "grandstand play" of
tbe circuit attorney to Injure Pnyder's case
In tbe eyre of bis Jury by having- he grand

such a motive. It was to avoid any pos

lateea Are Sained.
Of the five Indictments banded in, four
related to criminal caaes other than brib
ery. The other Indictment contains two
counts, in which sixteen members of the
municipal assembly combine are Jointly
charged with bribery. The men accused
are: John A. Sheridan, Emll Hartmann,
Edmund Beersch, Otto Schumacher, Charles
Denny, Adolph Madera. John Schnettler.
Charles Outke. Louis Decker. T. Albrlgbt.
John Helms, Julius Lehroann, Charles F.
Kelly. J. J. Hannigan, William Tamblyn
and Harry Faulkner, against whom bench
warrants have already been Issued and
Information filed.
The witnesses named on the back of the
Indictment are; Delegates John K. Mur
rell, E. E. Murrell and Ceorge F. Robert
son. The first count of the Indictment recites
that on November 2, 1898, the foregoing,
acting in their official capacity as members
of the house of delegates, entered Into a
corrupt bargain with Ed Butler, by the
terms of which they were to use their
Influence and vote to secure the passage
of the measure known aa the city
lighting bill, In consideration of tbe euro
of 847,600. paid by Ed Butler to Charles
F. Kelly, to be distributed among the
aforesaid delegates.
. The second count of the Indictment 1
an exact counterpart of the first, except
aa relates to the Identity of tbe person
with whom tbe bargain waa made, and
who Is charged with having paid the MJ.bou
to Kelly. Tbe second count alleges that
the bargain with the delegates waa made
and tbe money paid over by "some person
or persons to the grand Jury unknown."
With the return Into court of thle in
dictment It will be necessary for those
named In It who are now out on bond to
come Into court within a day or two and
give a new bond to cover the Indictment.
The old sureties wilt be acceptable on the
new bond, according to tbe usual practice
of the courts.
Folk Seeds More Time.
The trial of Henry Nlcbolaus, charged
with bribery, which was to have begun
tomorrow In Judge Ryan's court, will be
postponed until October 20, at the request
of Circuit Attorney Folk.
"It would be Impossible for me to take
up tbe rase Monday," aald Folk. "When
we started wltb tbe Snyder trial Monday
morning I did not believe it would last
longer than Wednesday night. But we bave
been on It all week and I have had no op
portunity to prepare tor the Nlcholaus case.
The case Is one of such Importance that
I shall not enter It without having made
all due preparations.
"This coming week I shall give my at
tention to preparations for tbe trial ot
Butler, charged with attempted bribery,
which is to be held in Columbia. I do not
beltove more than tnVee or four days will
be required for that. Tbe caae is set for
October 13. One week from that date we
will be ready to try Nlcholaus."
Henry Nlcholaus is charged wltb bribery
In connection with tbe Suburban deal. It
is alleged that the $135,000 put up to in
fluence legislation In the Suburban bill's
favor while it was pending before tbe mu
nicipal assembly was obtained on notes
signed by Nlcholaus, Ellis Walnwrlght and
Cbarles H. Turner, preeldent of the Subur
ban Street Railway company.
Nlcholaus returned Thursday from a trip
abroad. Ellis Walnwrlght is in Europe,
and it is said that he and Nlcbolaus con
ferred about tbe case in Parle. Walnwrlght
Is regarded by Circuit Attorney Folk as a
fugitive from Justice. No warrant has ever
been served on him, as he departed for
Europe before tbe grand Jury returned the
Indictment agalnat him.
Wkta Sext Jary Is Called.
Tbe October grand Jury will be sworn In
tomorrow In Jndge Ryan's court. It is not
probable that tbe body will take up the
Investigation ot tbe lighting bill scandal
Immediately, but will devote the first few
days of Its seaaion to routine matters.
The appeal of Delegate Julius Lehmann
from tbe sentence ot two years imposed
upon him after conviction of perjury in tbe
criminal court will be reached on tbe su
preme court docket Tueaday, October 14.
Lehmann, recently Indicted on a charge ot
bribery In connection with the lighting
deal. Is now a fugitive from Justice. It Is
aid that tbe supreme court, upon official
cognizance of the fact that he la a fugitive
from Justice, will refuse to consider the ap
peal and erase the caae from tbe docket.
Unless Lehmann appears before that date
tbe sentence ot the lower court will be in
force and when be is apprehended he will
be aent to the penitentiary. After his re
lease the Indictments now pending against
blm may be revived.
Tbe caae against Cbarles F. Kelly, also
a fugitive, charged with misconduct ia office.
will be called In tbe court ot criminal con
viction Tueaday.

MINERS THEIR HOPE
(Continued from First Tage.1
wish to escape the complication of the
negotiations by heated public discussion at
this stage. That the parties to the confer
ence feel they have accomplished some
thing wss made evident by the expressed
belief of one of the conferees that the
miners soon will be again at work.
Will Sot Reeort to Violence.
One object of the conference Has to cou
sider tome of (he propositions that have
been sent to the president for settling tbe
etrike. These came from every section of
tho country snd a large proportion from
men of standing and reputation. At the
same time It is said that the suggestions
often are absurd and Impracticable. Others
offering a possible solution already have
received attention.
Two constantly recurring proportions
for federal interference, one that United
States troops be sent Into Pennsylvania
for the protection of the men the operators
employ and the other thst tbe mines be
seized by the general government are re
jected, no matter by whom urged. The
first conference developed the fait that
no federal Interference by force tas pos
sible and to that conclusion the president
hsg firmly held. Some of the Impracticable
propositions made are offers .to lease coal
mines In other sections of the country to
the government so that It may furnish coal
to the people.
Mitchell Makes So Comment.
WILKES BARRE. re.. Oct. 6. A corre
spondent of the Associated Press tonight
asked President Mitchell. In the presence of
Mr. Weyle. what be heard from President
Rooaevelt, and hia reply was: "Why do
you ask? What bave you heard?"
He was informed that the president and
bis cabinet bad held a long conference today
on tbe coal atrlke, and he was asked if he
bad hoard from the president's csblnet. His
answer thll time was: "I have not heard
from tbe cabinet."
"Hae you heard directly or Indirectlv
from Commissioner Wright?"
"I don't care to gay anything."
Mr. Mitchell was much Interested in what
took place at Washington, but had nothing
to say regarding the proposed plana for
ending the strike.
ILLINOIS MINERS WILL HELP
as is
Their District President Sara They
tend Ready to Oo Into Their
Owa Pockets.
WILKESBARRE. Pa.. Oct. 3. The Waeh
Ington conference between President Roose
velt, tbe coal operators and the repre
sentatives of the anthracite coal mine
workers having been without result, tbe
strike leaders are now engaged In tighten
ing up tbelr lines snd preparing them
selves to combat 'any movement by the
operatora to break tbe ranks of the strikers.
The first step in thU direction was taken
today, when W. R. Russell, president of
District No. 13 of the miners' union, which
comprises the entire state of Illinois, came
here by direction of President Mitchell for
the purpose of discussing relief measures.
Mr. Russell had a conference lasting sev
eral hours with his chief, and at its con
clusion It was announced that atepe would
Immediately be taken to carry out a plan
by which tbe relief fund from Illinois, at
least, will be increased. What tbe plan Is,
both Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Russell de
clined to say. Mr. Russell said if it were
necessary to do so, the Illinois miners
stand ready to Increase tbe assessment.
He said tbey are taking a great Interest
In the struggle and will go deep Into
their own pockets to help the Pennsylvania
workers.
Preeldent Russell also said the soft coal
operators are also In sympathy wlt'j tbe
etrlkers In this state. He also said these
operators believed tbe union was a good
thing for tbe men and employers, because
since the organization waa recognized In
the western country conditions bave con
siderably improved. While the Illinois
district president did not say so, ha lntl.
mated in bis conversation that some ot tbe
coal operators in tbe west bave ahown
their sympathy tor tbe hard coal miner
in a aubstantlal way. When be waa asked
the direct question he declined to say any
thing about It.
Tbe 81,000 mine workers In Illinois are
now contributing to . the Pennsylvania
strikers 10 cents oa every ton of coal
mined by them. The boys employed In
that state, too, are giving up 10 cents a
day. In addition to this tax, tbe Illinois
miners are paying 1 cent per ton Into
tbelr own general defense fund.
Walter E. Weyle, who has done consid
erable work for Carroll D. Wright, United
States commissioner of labor, in tbe an
thracite fields, spent about three hour
with President Mitchell thla afternoon.
Mr. Weyle, being so closely Identified with
Mr. Wright, It waa surmised by the corps
of newspsper correspondents here that be
may have carried some messages to Mr.
Mitchell from Washington, but both gen.
tlemea denied that the visit had any sig
nificance. Mr. Mitchell said the visit was
purely a social one. During tbe afternoon
Mr. Mitchell received about a half-dosen
telegrams.
The beginning of the sixth month ot the
strike shows no material change In tbs
situation. The operators told President
Roosevelt on Friday that IT, 000 men are at
work and that 15 per cent of the normal
coal production la being mined. President
Mitchell then denied that such a number
ot men are mining coal. He said the
operators sre including in the 17,000 all
tbe engineers, firemen and pump runners
(ot whom there sre about 8,000), fire bosses,
foremen, carpenters, clerks snd all other
employes. He also denied that 15 per cent
of the production la being aent to market
and aald If the etatement were true "the
operatora ewe it to the public to aell tbe
coal at the normal pricea Inatead of charg
ing dealers 115 to 820 a ton."
May Attempt to Reaame.
While the euperlotendents hereabout
will not talk ot future plana, there la an
impression among citizens generally that
aa effort will be made this week by coal
companies to resume operatlona. Tbe of
ficials of these companies hsve all along
maintained that men are ready to retura
to work, but fear peronal violence. Mr.
Mitchell says be has no apprehension ot
the strikers breaking away. He claims tbe
companies are keeping a constant pressure
on the workers to return, but without suc
cess. At Drlfton, he said, tbe coal company
officials had made a canvass of that com
munity and found only one boy, the sot
of a aoaunloa man. who was willing to re
turn. Mr. Mitchell said he received tbls
report from tbere today.

Tomorrow night the four will leave for

to devise some plan by which the mining
of coal can bo resumed. There wss a rumor
here tonight that while at Buffalo the
strike leaders will hold a conference with
bituminous operators, but this was denied
by Mr. Mitchell.
National Secretary-Treasurer Wilson of
the Miners' union will also attend the
meeting.
One Strike Settled.
A telegram was received at strike head
quarters today announcing that the strike

ing Valley Coal company. Involving be
tween 6.000 and 6,00 men In West Virginia,
waa ended satisfactorily to both slds. The

be paid by the weight of 2,000 pounds to

Among the visitors at strike headquarters
today waa Henry Tiepke, commissioner of
Industrial statistics ot the state of Rhode
Island. He was accompanied by a stenog
rapher and spent about an hour with Presi
dent Mitchell. It Is raid bis visit was
for the purpose of gathering statistics for
the sta'e of Rhode Island.
Rain fell continuously today, making
things around the camp 'of the soldiers
rather unpleasant. Excepting a little
trouble at Kingston, across the Susque
hanna from this city, tonight, there has
been no disorder in this territory. It has
been decided by the authorities to keep a
battalion of the Ninth at Plymouth and the
troops were sent there tonight.
CLEVELAND. Oct. 6. The members of
the Ohio Federation of Labor who are to
meet, at Cambridge, O., on Tuesday, will
Introduce a resolution asking tbe American

members 10 cents a week for the benefit
of the striking coal miners. If the matter
Is acted upon a sum of $130,000 weekly will
be raised. Tbe United Trades and Labor
council of Cleveland has contributed $"nn

cite miners.
Three thousand people crowded Into a

and Kirn Bnllet.
(LENS FALLS. 'N. V., Oct. 5. As a re
sult of renewed activity by tho striking
motormen of tho Hudson Valley Electric
Railway company, soldiers of the National
guard are again guarding the peace of this
town, and though today there bag been
no rioting, an uneasy feeling prevails.
The militia company of this place, which
had been dismissed to Its armory Thursday
last, tailed out again last night and
is now protecting the power house and
other property of tbe railway company In
Glens Falls. A squad is also guarding a
bridge at Sandy Hill, having been aent
there following a report that one of the
canal bridges was to be blown up.
The riotous mob which held possession
of Olena Falls for four hours last night
was composed of sympathizers with the
strikers and the pollco force was power,
lesa agalnat It. A mass meeting called
by the labor organizations to express sym
pathy for tbe strikers waa the origin ot
the disturbance, it waa planned to have
the mass meeting In Bank square, and
wheji permission was refused. 111 feeling
resulted. Headed by a band, tbe strikers
and labor leaders formed In a parade
through the principal streets, the ranks of
the paraders being augmented by sympa
thizers and boys who, at the first oppor
tunity, created disturbances. The riot was
precipitated by the arrest of a man who
made insulting remarks to one of the non
union employes, and each car passing
through was the object of a demonstration.
At Cool's switch four cars were stalled
at one time. They were soon abandoned,
the nonunion motormen and conductors
placing themselves In the hands of the
police for protection or deserting to the
strikers. The rsr windows were smashed
and a fuallade of bricks and stones hurled
at the care. Conductor Currier of Brook
lyn was so badly Injured by rough handling
and by being hit in the head wltb missiles
that he is In the hospital in a serious con.
dltlon.
The last car from the north, which came
Into town about 11 o'clock, carried mail
sacks, which were removed to the railway
offices. About thla time Company K, Na
tional guard, under Captain Mott, mado
Its appearance and, marching to the Jail,
took the motormen and conductors under
protection. In marching to the cars dem
onatratlons were made and the militia
used the butts of tbelr guns and threatened
to shoot several times. Under a heavy
guard of acldlera the seven stalled car
were run down toward the power bouse,
followed by a mob. In the outsKlrta of the
city riotous demonstrations were made and
stone throwing Indulged in, to which the
soldiers responded with volleys ot bullets,
shooting In the air, however. Further on.
a pole had been aawed in two and. falling
on a car, delayed further progress. Chief
of Police Patterson fired at two persons
who attempted to prevent him from closing
a window In the Jail and who threatened
htm with revolvers. He thinks be hit one
man. Mud Is being thrown at cars snd
passengers In Fort Edward today.
There has been no rioting this evening,
as the company did not attempt to move
any cars. Captain Mott being unable to
turnlah enough men to guard them and the
property of the railway. Tbe militia and
police compelled everyone to move along.
Several unruly persons refused to move.
Insulted ths militiamen and were promptly
knocked down by tbe soldiers. The police
then made several arrests.
