DEATHKNELL IS SOUNDED Watchmen Under Strict Orders to Kill Hlin Like a Dog If There Is Any Effort Made at Release or Possibility of Escape. London, Sept. 21.—A special dispatch from Paris says the deputy represent- ing French Guiana in the chamber has received a dispatch announcing that a mutiny has taken place among the con- victs at Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana. The mutineers, it appears, and murdered their guards, then stormed the military storehouse and seized the arms and ammunition there. They are now, according to the dis- patch, besieging the principal prison, and it is the feared they may succeed in freeing 4,000 convicts confined in the building. Reinforcements have been telegraphed for to the island of Martinique, but it is said they will not arrive in time to suppress the mutiny. Devil’s island, where Albert Dreyfus, the former captain in the French artil- lery, is confined under sentence for hav¬ ing sold secrets of the war department to a foreign government, is but a short distance from Caneye. It is possible that the revolt of convicts may be the deathknell of the prisoner whose con¬ demnation has so stirred up the French nation, for his guards are under strict orders to kill him if any attempt is made to release him or if thero is any possibility of his escaping. AFTER COLONEL PICQUART. Frenchman Declares lie Will Not Die In Prison l>j’ His Own Hand. Paris, Sept. 21.—The papers here say the minister of war, General Chaneine, fias examined the documents in the Dreyfns ^ case and , has , ordered , , the prose- cution of former Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged documents. The trial of Colonel Picquart and M. Loblois, a lawyer, on the charge of re- vealing documents concerning the na- tional defense, was to have begun day before the correctional tribunal. q be public prosecutor, however, asked for an adjournment 011 the ground that the prosecution of Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged documents bad been ordered by tho minister of war. M. Labori, who was counsel for M. Zola during the latter’s famous trial, indignantly opposed the adjournment, which, he said, was an attempt to hand over Colonel Picquart into the clutches of the military authorities. Colonel Picquart then rose and made a state- meat which caused a sensation. He said: • •This is, perhaps, the last time I shall speak in public. I shall sleen, perhaps, in the military prison of Cherche Midi. Therefore I wish to declare that if I find there the strangling cord of Lenier- cier Picard, or the razor of Colonel Henry, it will be murder, for I have no idea of committing suicide.” The audience was intensely moved and shouted “vive Picquart.” The judge, however, after a short de- liberation, decided to indefinitely ad- journ the case and Colonel Picquart was led away between two policemen. Lemercier Picard, the man referred . , . .. the Dreyfus affair, who was found hanging in his lodgings about a year ago, under circumstances which cast , louBt . the theory s<RDe ( on put forward , that he had committed suicide. ______________ A NEGRO’S DOUBLE CRIME.

There were 450,000 bushels of wheat, corn and oats in store, and the entire force was at work shipping an order for 80,000 bushels of oats by rail at the time of the disaster. The explosion was heard all over the city, and resembled the distant firing of heavy artillery. The roof of the struc- ture was thrown 100 feet into the air and fell a mass of wreckage. The Bides of the building were all thrown out- ward, leaving the huge grain bins stand- ing without covering. Every part of the wreck was instantly a mass of flames and the conflagration was seen miles away before the fire department could reach the scene. The list of dead so far is as follows: Grace Parks, aged 19, daughter of Superintendent ^ W. J. Parks. John Carr, shoveler. Fred Garrett, shoveler. Everett Smith, machinist. Unknown Polish shoveler.

Petition of Americans In the Jasper Lands Case Denied. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 21.—In the United States court, Judge Bruce de¬ nied the petition of the American stock¬ holders in the Jasper Town and Lands company case which asked that the re¬ ceivership of J. W. Burke be made per¬ manent and extend over the Corona Coal and Coke company’s properties. Judge Bruce rendered a lengthy opin¬ ion, in which he said that he seriously doubted the right of the federal courts to pass upon the regularity of the state courts, the latter having previously ap¬ pointed J. H. Bartlett receiver for the Corona properties on petition of the English stockholders, and added that he certainly would consider it remark¬ able were the conditions reversed and the state courts were to attempt to pass upon the regularity of any action taken by the federal courts. The effect of the decision of Judge Bruce is to remove the temporary re¬ ceivership of Burke and leaves the Jas¬ per Town and Lauds company in an at¬ titude occupied before the suit wai brought. J. H. Bartlett, receiver for the die- solved Corona Coal and Coke company, is left in charge of that property ana the whole thing is a victory for the British stockholders, who have been at war with the American stockholders.
