Sensational Developement in Dreyfus Affair.

LIEUT-COLONEL HENRY, HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Was Arrested for Tendering Forged

Evidence.

[Speciat to Tae Examiver.]

Paris, Sept 1.—Colonel Henry, who was arrested yesterday, in connection with the, reopening of the Dreyfus affair, has come mitted suicide.

The news has produced a great sensetion in Paris.

Closely following thie startling piece of intelligence was the the announcement that General Lemouton de Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff of the French army, has tendered his resignation to the Government.

All Farnce is deeply agitated and intease

expectancy prevails. —/n a letter De Boisdeffre explains tha: he resigns Owing to his misplaced confi- dence in Lieut.-Colonel Henry, which led him to present as genuine what was forged evidence.

M Cavaiguac, Minister of War, in reply, asked General De Boisdeffreto remain to see justice rendered in the matter.

General De Boisdeffre thanked M Ca~ Vaignac for proof of his esteem, but per- sisted in his resignation.

He will be replaced by General Renourd the Director of the M:litary College.

Colonel Henry, who committed suicide after being arrested, was attached to the War Department when Dreyfus was con- victed; and he was one of tne prominent witnesses who testified unfavorably to M- Zola during the Jatter’s sensatioral trial on the charge of libelling military officials.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

A Chinese Official Complains Be- cause England Has Not Before Assisted Russia.

Pexin. Aug. 31.—A high member of the Tsung-Li-Yamen, who is a British sym- pathizer, complained in the couree of a recent interview that Great Britain’s assurances Of support against Russian aggression were belated. ‘ Why,” said this functionary, “‘withold such a declara- ation until Rassia had secured Port Arthur and France obtained consider- able cessions in the south? The disin- tegration of the empire has begun, ani to- day the necessity for strong action is less urgent than when Rusaia first obtained a foothold.”

He admitted that China has broken her promises to England, but this, he argued, was because Russian pressure was too strong to be resisted. He com- plained of British ignorance of Russia’s line of action, and asked: “Why does not Hugland approach Russia directly with a declaration that Ruesia’s interference in China will be regarded as a casus belli: ? It is useless to punish helpless China and to participate in the disintegration of the Empire. ‘The Tsung-Li-~Yamen prefers that British inflaence should te para- mount; but it isunable to do anything unlees England helps with sword in hand.”

The Czar’s Peace Message.

a

Maprip, Aug. 31.—-The Imparcial yes- terday, referring to the Czar’s peace mes~

| sage, expresses the belief that his majesty’s

pronouncement can hardly come from a | mere dreamer. It adds: Reflection con- vinces us that it was issued only after con~ aultation with President Faure and

period of great diplomatic activity. In conclusion the Imparcial says: “We urge Spain to pay close attention to the matter, as assuredly Spain is not the power least interested in it.”

The Liberal is of the oppinion that the Czar’s object was to avert a “threatening rupture of views which prevail,” adding : “The work of the Hispano-American commision in Paris is hardly worthy of mention in comparsion with the proposed conference, which ought to be attended by the United States as well as Europe, for, should war break ou’ andextend from the Mediterranean to the China Sea, Spain must awake iu order to perserve the little she has managed to save from the ruin.”

DENIAL FROM MR. McINNES.

He Dares the Late Premier to Lif the Pledge of Secrecy Imposed

Upon * Him. ods

Victoria, B.C.,2 ug. 30.—With reference to recent political incidents, the Colonist rays: “In the interests of good government it is desirable that there should be the fullest possible investigation into the facts conpecied with the dismissal of the Turder Ministry. At present there are grave COntradictions, and serious charges have beea made on both sides. A royal commission will afford the only means of arriving at the whole history of the transaction, and, we therefore suggest that representations should at once be made at Outawa on the subject and a commission be demanded. The object in baving such a

commission would be to reach an accurate history of the case, for an important prive | ciple is at stake.” ?

The dismissalof the Turner Govern- meot cobtinues to be the main subject dcalt with in the newspapers here and of general conversation, W.W. B. McInnis, M P, gives the Times this evening a letter denying the insinuation that he sought to

be taken into the Turner cabinet. Oa the contrary, he says, Mr. Turner pestered him with offers. |He draws a striking picture of

the ex-Premier discouraged with defeat | cheming to save himself from being joutsted, accuses him of trachery to bis colleagues and dares him (to lift the pledge of sore imposed by him aud eay the ex- act coudition he (Mr. Turner) was willing to agree to.

A majority of the passengers were men who went to Dawson City in last year’s rush. They have no gol¢, but lots of experience. The fortunate passengers numbered about 75, Ofthese probably twenty five had over $16,000 each. The a:zounts beld by the remsiuing fifty range from $100 to $50,000. The following is @ list of the richest ones and the amounts they have brought back: N W Jenkins, $53,000; Theo Anderson, $50,000; Geo Carmack, $35,600; Stick Jim, $35,000; Tagish Charley, $35,000; Ike Powers, $15,000; B Doahe, $15,000; F Renaud, $15,000.

ON THE SQUARE,

Sir,—It isa very pleasant sight, these fine summer mornings and evenings, to see the cows (and occasiovally bulls) peace- fully grazing on the rich pasture land known as Rochford Square, Sometime ago, I int'mated, through your columns, the advisability of placing a few seats under some of the trees oftie | square but nowthat it has been turned | intow pound I cheerfully withdraw the suggestion, I could not understand, alfirstwhy bicycle riding shouli have been forbidden and that it should be nec- essary toémploy a policeman in plan clothes to enforce it. But I see it all now. There would be a danger of running into the cows using the paths. Bicycle riders, please remember that cows and policemen have the right-of-way on Rechford Square until further notice.

CITIZEN.

RUM’S DOINGS AT CARDIGAN.

Sin,—As & community we islanders are a self-satisfied lot and cousole ourselves with the belief that we are the most moral, Jaw~abiding, peaceful people on earth. But if the cri ninal records of our courts were carefully compared with those of larger places complacent people would be surprised at the uglipese of our statistics. In the dietrict from which I hail there has been a carnival of small! crimes, which if allowed to go on must culminate in some dreadful uisaster. Shopsare broken into and goods removed, stables robbed of harness, horses, cattle, etc., sheep various pastures, dairyies robbed. These were mostly smal! crimes. No resident of King’s Uounty is a better man than Alexander Alley, of Cardigan Mills. Yetthis splendid man has been the victim, for years, of the most maligs nant unprovoked persecution, believed to originate from the rum sellers. His mil] gear has time after time been mucilat— ed or stolen, and farm pro-~ perty carried off. But these depredations appear to have been too feeble and slow to satisfy the “ gang.” So a wholesale job was planved which, if entirely successful, would have wiped Mr. Alley and his whole family from this earth. His valu- able mill property was burned down and his residence saturated with kerosene oil and also fired but discovered intime to save it and the lives of the inmates. Of course Mr. Alley is a firm supporter of the temperance cause, and the rum always takes the wrong way to carry its point.
