DREYFUS COUNSEL IS SHOT
M Labouri Ambushed By Two AAen While
On His Way to the Lycee.
SKY MEMBERS OF “LEAGUE OF PATRIOTS” ARRESTED
\
Sajrday’s Open Session of the Dreyfus Courtinartial
Was RepJete With Exciting Scenes.
^ able dispatch received from
Lon,,, France, early Monday morn¬
ing ,ated that two men ambushed
Mail; Labori, counsel for Dreyfus,
and o shot was fired, hitting Labori
in tlback. M. Labori fell in the
roadiy. He was still alive at the
timeie dispatch was sent.
M;re Labori left his house nlone
for t court at about 6 o'clock Mon¬
day nrning. His residence is situ¬
ation! the suburbs of the town a quar¬
ter om hour’s walk from the Lycee,
the nte being along a solitary road
besid the river Yilaine. He had
reach] a point half way on his jour¬
ney vien two men, who had evidently
beeuying in wait for him, rushed out
cf a arrow lane and one of them iired
a sinle shot from a revolver.
Th murderers were only a couple
of yads behind their victim and the
bnlle struck Maitre Labori in the
back. The wounded man uttered an
agonised cry and fell flat on his face.
The aurderers at once fled through
the hue from which they had emerged
and b»h escaped.
At 7:30 o’clock it was announced
that the bullet had entered the stom¬
ach; tiiat there was no outward bleed¬
ing and that the jrhysiciaus believed
that M. Labori would die from the
wound.
DIIEYKIS CREATES SCENE IN OPEN
COURT El REPLYING TO
M. MERCIER.
A special from Bennes, France,
says: Saturday’s scenes in tho second
courtmartial of Captain Dreyfus xvere
ns dramatic as those of Monday, xvhen
the prisoner xvas arraigned. M. C'asi-
lnir-Perier recited to the court in an
earnest manner his connection xvith
the case, after which General Mercier
xvas placed upon the stand. The lat¬
ter’s testimony provoked a stirring
scene.
General Mercier had spoken nearly
four hours in ruthless denunciation of
Dreyfus, xvho had listened unmoved
until Mercier concluded by saying that
if he had not been convinced of the
guilt pf Dreyfus, aud if the latter’s
cor^ejjfion had not been fortified since
1894, he would admit he had been
mistaken. Dreyfus jnmpCd to his
feet as though the words had galvan¬
ized him into life, and shouted in a
voice which resounded through the
hall like a triumph note:
“That is xvhat you ought to say.”
The audience burst into a wild
cheers,w hereupon the ushers called for
silence. But when Mercier replied
that he would admit Dreyfus was in¬
nocent if there was any doubt, the
prisoner shouted again:
“Why, don’t you then? That is your
duty.”
At this there was another outburst
of applause. leaving the the
As Mercier xvas court
audience rose en masse ami hissed and
cursed him, those at the hack of the
court standing on chairs and benches
in order to better cry bim down. The
gendarmes placed themselves between
the general and the audience, xvho
showed a strong disposition to mal¬
treat the former minister of xvar. Mer¬
cier played the noxv well-worn xvar
scare during the day, but the effect
must be very discouraging to him, as
liis hearers listened without stirring a
muscle to his story of how Franco was
on the threshold of a xvar with Germa-
ny. The anti-Drcyfusites have cried
"xvolf” too often.
A RECORD-BREAKING REDUCTION
Iron Workers* Wagon Cut From Fifteen
Dollars a Day To Three.
A dispatch from Johnstoxvn, Pa.,
says: What is probably the record
foi- a big reduction of xvages Las gone
into effect in the structural department
of the Cambria Hteel Company.
The straighteners of the large beams
will have tbeir xvages cut from $15 to
about $3 a day, while the holdups will
be paid on a scale that will average
them $1.50 per day against $0 or $7,
the old rate. A general strike is
looked for.
The men claim that they xvere not
overpaid, as the xvork is so severe they '
can endure it for only a few years.

ASHBUKN, <«A., SATURDAY. AUGUST 19. IS99.
A special from Paris says: M. De
Roulede, founder of the League of
Patriots anrl a member of the chamber
of deputies, for the Augouleme divis¬
ion of Charente, was arrested at 4
o’clock Saturday morning at his estate
at Groissey, near Paris.
A number of members of the anti-
samite league and jratriotic leagfles
xvere also arrested at the same time.
M. DeRoulede was taken into custo¬
dy by four gen lanues and war driven
to Paris. Uu bis arrival in the city
he xvas incarcerated in the Concierge-
rie prison.
The police have closed the offices of
the jratriotic league, xvhich are now
guaved by gendarmes.
When au attempt was made to ar¬
rest M. Guerin, president cf the nnti-
semite league, he refused to surrender
and barricaded himself in his house.
He says he is prepared to hold out for
three weeks, having a good stock of
food and firearms. The doors and
windows of his residence are barri¬
caded and M. Guerin announces he
xvill blow uj) his house before he sur¬
renders.
On the application of M. Fabri,fresh
searches of various houses were made,
including tho headquarters of tlieanti-
semites, xvhere only unimportant pa¬
pers w ere seized.
Altogether six members of the nnti-
semit" and patriotic league and the
young royalists have been arrested.
It apjmars that the officials unearthed
telegrams sent to the duke of Orleans
from Brussels at the time of President
Faure’s funeral, tho first saying:
“All our men are ready.”
The second telegram xvas dispatched
the following day, saying:
“It’suseless to come.”
The attempt at an insurrection
against the government had in the
meanxx'hile failed.
Conspiracy Unearthed.
A semi-oflieini note issued nt Paris
reads as follows:
“A certain number of arrests were
made this morning as tho result of a
magisterial inquiry and by virtue of
article 89 of the penal code, regarding
a conspiracy organized for the purpose
of accomplishing a change in the form
of government. Persons implicated
belong to the group of the royalist
youth and the patriotic and anti-semite
leagues. At the trial of tho Meuilloy
barracks affair, facts relating to that
incident alone xvere used as the basis
of the prosecution; but searches xvere
then made and documents xvere seized
which led to the discovery of an organ¬
ization dating back to July, 1898, and
of a plot to seize the government by
force.
“The documents leave no room for
doubt as to existence of a plot or as to
the chief actors therein. After very
closevwatch organized proof was ob¬
tained that the same groups were pre¬
paring for a fresh attempt at an early
date, the proof being such as to enable
the disturbance to be averted by
immediate measures. The investiga¬
tion of the affair intrusted to M.Fabre,
examining magistrate.”
Measures have been taken to pre¬
vent M. Guerin from communicating
xvith members outside his residence,
and the water, gas and telephone con¬
nections have been ent off.
TWO FACTIONS ARRAIGNED.
A special of ,Sunday from Bennes
states that the battle lias begun in ear¬
nest. Its political bearing are shown
in the arrest of Paul De Itoulede, the
deputy and poet, and twenty-three of
his numerous royalist and Bonapartist
allies, xvho have pooled xvith him
against the republic. As in the Bou-
langist conspiracy, the pool would be
of little consequence but for the mili¬
tary caste, which has found represen-
tative men in General De Negrier and
some other generals having great com¬
mands.
LAURIE It DENTES REPORT.
Sny$ Canadian# Did Not Refuse To Accept
tho Chicago Invitation.
In a personal letter to II. H. Kohl-
saat, of the Chicago Times-Herald,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian jire-
rnier, denies the truth of an interview
recently given out by F. W. Fitzpat-
rick, of the treasury department at
Washington, in which Mr. Fitzpatrick
asserted that Premier Laurier had
stated to him he would not accept an
invitation to the Chicago autumn fes-
tival, believing the somewhat strained
relations between the two countries
might resnlt in some unpleasant inci-
dent during his visit.
DATE IS NAMED
For Meeting of Agricultural Com¬
missioners of the South¬
ern States.
Tke convention of commissioners of
agriculture from the southern states
has been called for September '20th at
New Orleans. This date was agreed
upon by Commissioner O. B. Steveua,
of Georgia, Tuesday, after an under¬
standing with the different agricul¬
tural officials of the cotton-producing
states.
The convention lias been called by
the agricultural department of Geor¬
gia to consider the cotton outlook and
discuss plans calculated to better the
staple product of the south. It will
be the tirst meeting of the kind ever
called and tho most distinguished
gathering in many respects ever as¬
sembled to undertake the betterment
of agricultural interests.
Not only is it proposed to discuss
tho uniform and dual classification of
cotton, but to take up all other prop¬
ositions that look to the general good
of the farming element.
The movemeut to call the convention
was started by Commissioner Stevens
in the past spring. Colonel Stevens
recognized that if anything substan¬
tial was to be done in the way of leg¬
islation for the farmers of the south it
should be started at once.
He communicated in time with the
commissioners of agriculture of all the
southern states and obtained from
each of them an endorsement of his
plan for an interstate cotton conven¬
tion.
The program of the convention has
been practically mapped out for the
first day. Commissioner of Agricul¬
ture Leon Jastremski, of Louisiana,
has been asked to act as temporary
chairman of the convention and will
he called upon for the opening address.
Tho Governor of Louisiana has been
requested to address (bo meeting the
first day, and bis address xvill be re-
sponded to by Governor Candler, of
Georgia.
Governor Candler is in hearty sym-
pathy with the movement that has
prompted the call of the convention
and aecejjted the invitation Tuesday
to be present and sjjenk in behalf of
the visiting commissioners.
It is probable that both Commis¬
sioner Stevens and Assistant Commis¬
sioner Wright will be present to reps
resent Georgia, and both officials will
go jrrepared to offer some plan to the
convention that has in view the inter¬
ests of the farmers of tho south.
By calling the convention of com¬
missioners it is hoped that whatever
relief measure is indorsed it can be
.unde uniform throughout tho south.
It is realized nt the start that any law
such as the jiassnge of a uniform class¬
ification act by tho legislature of any
stnte would fail of its effect in case tho
measure was not adopted uniformly
by tho legislatures of all tho cotton
producing states.
It is the opinion of Commissioner
Stevens that something will result
from the meeting of jiermnncnt good
to the farming element of Georgia and
of the south, and with this belief he
has determined to ho present at the
convention and do all in his power to
bring about prosjjerity in tho southern
states.
GUERIN IS OUTLAWED.
PruKidiint of Anti-Semite Loagufl Still
Ilarricaded In Iftn Domicile.
A speciul from Paris says: Tho xvar-
rant for the arrest of M. Guerin, pres¬
ident of the Anti-Semite League, xvho
xvith sympathizers, has been barricaded
since .Saturday last in the offices of
the league, has been placed in the
hands of Magistrate Fabre.
Guerin is now regarded ns an out¬
law in a state of rebellion since his
notification of the issue of the warrant.
He cannot claim the right of a citizen
of exemption from arrest from sunset
to sunrise nnd the persons guarding
the headquarters of the league, num¬
bering about forty, are in the same
box.
Htriet ordern have been given to ar¬
rest every one attempting to enter or
leave the btfilding.
The prefect of police is still await¬
ing orders from the government in re¬
gard to tho action to he taken against
Guerin. The leading Jews of Europe
are arranging for a meeting in Hxvitz-
erlftnd to form an international associ¬
ation for their defense and to protect
the Jews in France after the Dreyfus
courtmartial is over.
NEW FORGERY DISCOVERED.
M. Labori, Who Is Now Recovering, Maks.
Sensational Revelation.
Advices of Tuesday from Rennes,
France, state that M. Labori is now
doing so well that the doctors consider
him out of danger, He lies on his
back unable to move. He has no fever
aud continues to discuss the trial.
The Matin, a Paris newspaper,
makes the announcement that Labori,
after lie xvas shot, declared that, as
the outcome of his injury ajipeared
doubtful, be wished to make knoxvn
the fact that M. Uhamoin, xvho has
ehnrge of the secret documents in the
Dreyfus case, has discovered a nexv
forgery in the dossier.

The tirst wheat growers convention
ever held in South Carolina began at
Greenwood Tuesday morning. Six
hundred farmers were in attendance
and the convention was conducted up¬
on the lines of the recent Macon, Gn..
meeting. Hon. A. C. Latimer, con¬
gressman from the Greenwood district,
and u wealthy fanner, was elected
president, and N. A. Craig, president
of the Craig ltollor Mill at Greenwood,
was elected president.
Among those in attendance woro
some of the most prosperous and suc¬
cessful agriculturists in the stnte,
while there were others who had never
raised wheat, the latter of whom were
jiresent to learn, and listened intently
to the advice of their more than ex¬
perienced brethren. in
Two farmers who farm that, sec¬
tion, gave their exjxorieiices at tho
morning session. They agreed that
wheat can he raised at no more cost
than cotton and there is good money
in wheat. With land carefully pre-
pared, twenty-live bushels of wheat is
un average yield and little fertilizer is
necessary to produce a larger yield.
At (lie afternoon session the address
of the day was delivered by C. IT. Jor¬
dan, of Georgia, whose remarks Avere
well received. He gave valuable in¬
structions and advice. Short talks
were mode by numbers of planters,
detailing their experience with wheat
and the best method of cultivating and
raising the grain.
A permanent organization was form¬
ed with Congressman Latimer as pres¬
ident and N. A. Craig, secretary. Tho
committee on constitution consists of
E. M. Seabrook, Charleston; 8. H.
McGhee, Greenwood; J. A. Feterkiu,
Orangeburg; J. H. Wharton, Laurens;
J. F. Breeden, Marlboro; To J. Wil¬
liams, Edgefield; W. T. J. Cunning¬

OVER SEVEN MILLIONS.
An Fatimate of Dnruugc Done By
Recent Great Floods
In Texas.
E. 8. Holmes, Jr., an expert of the
statistical bureau of the department of
agriculture at Washington, hus just
completed a report to Chief .Statisti¬
cian Hyde of that department, embody¬
ing the results of a tour of the flood
devastated region of Texas, and mak¬
ing a careful estimate of the damage
done, the aggregate of which he
places at #7,41-4,000.
The report states that the greatest
damage was in McLennan Falls, Mi¬
lam, Robertson, Brazos, Burleson,
Grimes, Washington, Waller, Austin,
Fort Bend and Brazoria counties. The
number of farms submerged is estima¬
ted at 8,100, with n total area of about
1,1180,000 acres under cultivation; 339,-
000 acres being in cotton, 124,000 acres
in corn, 10,000 acres in sugar cane and
28,000 acres in other crops, with a total
production in sight equivalent to about
$7,950,000.
Although nearly 90 per cent of the
total loss occurred in the destruction
of or injury to the growing crops, the
ihimuge to farm property and the
losses of live stock, cto., amount to
the large sum of $884,000. The land
itself is damaged by washing and gul-
leyitig to the extent of over $200,000,
hut of this loss about ouo-hnif is esti¬
mated as offset by the increased future
productiveness resulting from the al¬
luvial deposit left by the flood.
A conservative estimate of the actual
destruction includes about 227,000
bales of cotton, representing at an
average juice of 4 j cents per poutul,
about $5,100,000; 4,400,000 bushels of
corn, worth at 20 cents per bushel,
$880,000; sugar cane to the value of
$1155,000 and other crops estimated at
$11115,000, a total loss to standing crops
of $0,570,000. The addition to this
amount of the loss to farm jiroporty
raises the total to $7,414,000, or about
$74 per capita of the population of the
district, which is estimated at 100,000,
negroes largely predominating.

After a combined strike ami lookout,
lasting five weeks, during which ti^ie
txveuty-two cigar factories in Tamjio,
Fla., xvere closed and six hundred cigar
makers idle, the differences between
employees and employers xvere finally
settled at a conference held Monday.
The result is a complete victory for tho
employees. The manufacturers grant¬
ed every demand made ujton them,and
the changes made obligatory by these
concessions, xvill amount to virtually
a revolution in the methods of jiro-
ducing clear Havana cigurs in tho
United Htntes.
The cigsrmskers demanded tho
abolition in each factory of the scales
for weighing the “fillers” issued to
thorn. This wus tho main jmint at is¬
sue. Under tho new rule, no check
xvill be kojit upon the material maned
to the men for making into cigars.
Another demand was that all facto¬
ries adopt a uniform scale of xvages.
Hitherto each factory bud its own
scale, and tlio cost of production of tho
same grade of cigars varied consider¬
ably in each house. This bail its effect
on wholesale and retail prices. Here¬
after the workmen xvho makes one

actly the same |>ay as one xvho makes

Acting upon this jiromise the coun¬

“SILVER ISSUE
NOT DEFUNCT”
Says Hon. W. J. Bryan, and Will
Not Be Abandoned.
fiOSPEl OF 16 TO I EXPOUNDED.
A Largely Attended Democratic
Love Feast Is Held at Des
Moines, Iowa.
Des Moines, Iowa, was full of dem¬
ocrats Tuesday night to attend tho
democratic state eouvoution and listen
to TV. J. Bryau, General W. B. Weav¬
er and others expound tho gospel of
1(> to 1, anti-imperialism and anti¬
trust views. Two great meetings were
held iluring the evening, the main one
nt tho the Auditorium, where W. J.
Bryan spoke to 5,(100 people, and tho
other at the tabernacle, where Gen¬
eral Weaver held forth for an hour,
until Mr. Bryau came from the first
meeting. Home 15,000 jiersons con¬
gregated nt the tabernacle, and tho
two buildings were not great enough
to accommodate the throng.
Mr. Bryan, in beginning his nd-
drosH, reviewed the record of the re-
jmblican party, accusing it of jiutting
tho dollar above the mail. He then
took up the silver question, saying
prosperity did not set in until six
months after tho election, when the
Klondike gold mines began to increase
the Niljqdy of the yellow metal.
The republicans who claim that
limes are better because the balance
of trado is in favor ef the United .States
give away their own jmsition and ad¬
mit that the democratic view of the
quantitive character of money iH cor¬
rect. Tho financiers of England con¬
trol the English government, through
England the rest of Europe, and
through Europe the Uuiteil Htntes.
He said:
“Tho (1,500,000 democratic voters of
the democratic party in 1890 were for
silver. Tho 7,000,000 republican vot¬
ers were for a plutform which called
for international bimetallism. Only
the Palmer and Buckner voters were
for tho gold standard, say less than 1
jicr cent, yet the Iowa republican
jilatform goes a step further ami is
mainly for gold alone. Moreover, the
republicans threaten to retire the
greenbacks, though they have never
been beforo the jmople on that issue.”
Mr. Bryan closed bis speeoh by a
lengthy discussion of imperialism.
The difference, bo said, between a re¬
public and an empire is this:
"A republic needs an army of 2S,-
000 for 70,000,000 peojde; an empire
needs four times that large an army,
when 10,000,000 population is added.
This suits the young men who get fat
jobs in the army, Imt not the jiocplo
who pay the $1,500,000 a day needed
fo maintain the soldiers in the Pliilip-
jiines.”
Mr. Bryan gave figures to show that
England and other nations do not col¬
onize rapidly andsaid that with twenty
people to the square mile in America,
and sixty to the mile in the Philip¬
pines, there is no opportunity there.
Even if we should succeed in killing
off all the natives, you canuot get
young Americans to go there—they
prefer to live in this country. The
)>roflt will not be equal to the cost and
the jiroflt will not go to the right peo¬
jde, but to investment syndicates.
Even if any man iH willing to trado
for pottage, and does not have a taste
for birthright, ho bud better investi¬
gate the jiottsge. Xf the Tagalos are
largely Christians and our nutive al¬
lies are largely Mohammedan, we
ought to ask the sultan to helji us sub¬
due the Christian insurgents.
“This government ought to make a
declaration of good intentions toward
the i'biliji|)iiioH, as it did toward Cuba.
Tho jiresident ought to have done so,
or if lie did not have tho jiower, should
have asked congress for it. Now ho
might call a special session to ask for
tho power. Cleveland called a apodal
session to repeal the Bberman act and
McKinley called one. A special ses¬
sion now would cost much money, but-
not nearly so much as the continuance
of the war.”
STRIKERS LOSING GROUND.
Right.y For Cent of Trolley Cars Are Kan-

A New York dispatch says: The sit¬
uation of the Brooklyn strike Friday
wus such us to give the llajiid Transit
company much encouragement. found By
investigation it xvas that fully
80 per cent of tne cars were running
on most of the linos. An exception i«
