husbaud and father was so terribly upset
oy the sentence imposed upon dipt. Drey-
jus that he changed his name to that of
his wife.
'? believed the suicides were com-
mitted because of the recent losses by

He referred without mentioning
names to a "man responsible for my
sin." But all the letters treat the u a-
son oi me suiciue evasively.
M. DakolT asserts the deceased was
in comfortable circumstances and had
property and an annual Income of about
$2500. M. Dikoff's theory is that the
tragedy resulted from excess of melan-
choly or madness. He says he heard
Dreyfus allude to some recent suicide In
Paris.
The apartments occupied by the de-
ceased family are richly furnished. In
the dining room the police found the
remnants of an ample repast.
In addition to carrying on his busi-
ness In ten coffee and dried fruits M.
Dreyfus hnd speculated a good deal on
the bourse. He often complained to M.
Dlkoff about his losses and thu latter
says he often remonstrated with Drey-
fus against indulging his despondency.
The method of suicide was by charcoal
funres.

the house for some time past and ex
pressed the hope that the proceedings

The representatives of the German

protested against the declaration made
by the minister or hnnnce on Saturday
at a meeting or the hungct committee m
which he pronounced a grave warning
in the danger of a suspension of the con
stitution unless the provisional compro-
mise bill is adopted. The minister after
explaining that the compromise would
already have been finally concluded lmt
for the existing (inferences respecting the
proportionate financial contributions of
the two countries said that he would
deeply deplore the result of the present
political circumstances and compel the
government to enforce a compromise by
other than parliamentary means but he
explained there were circumstances which
were materially stronger than all forms.
After the representatives of these par
ties mentioned had protested against this
declaration they strongly denounced the
threatened suspension of the constitution
The sneakers were vigorously applauded
After a six hour' speech by Herr
Funke the house adjourned until W ednes-

Personally Marshal Blanco Is well
liked by the members of alt parties in

to their wealth generally succeed in
swaying the masses of the people In
Cuba but the autonomists and the con-
servatives are far from being hand in

cerning the cotton mnrket abroad:
"I found the general situation with re-

and by no means unsatisfactory which 1
understand has been the impression in
America for the past month or two. In
England and on the continent jUBt the
contrary was the case. As to the prices
of manufactured goods of course buyers
decline to buy long stocks as long as the
south persists in offering cotton down.
When enough of the cotton 1b ninrketed

to hold some cotton buyers of manufac-

until some different agreement can bo
reached the rates will be based njion the

lower than the bureau quotations.
The Southern Pacific now complains
that the ship agents nt Galveston gave
the bureau's representative one rate and
nuoted the interior shipper a different nnd
lower rate. They do not therefore pur
pose to lie further bound by tne quota-
tions furnished bv the bureau. They will
obtain the rntes themselves nnd advise

Ilnilway application for recclverMiip
will take place before Judge Emory
Speer in this city tomorrow. The peti-
tion alleges that the Southern llailwuy
company by its ownership nnd control
of the Central Knilwuy. the Southwest-
ern Ilnilway and the Georgia Southern
nnd Florida Hallway is acting in direct
conflict wjth the constitution of the state
of Georgia which prohibits the control
of one railroad by another for the pur-
pose of stifling competition. The peti-
tioners assert that the control of the com-
peting lined running Into Macon by the
Southern Ilnilway i dangerous to the
commerce of the city.
The petitions ask that the Southern
Ituilway be jicrpetatilly enjoined from
the control of these roads nnd that a re-
ceiver be appointed to take charge of the
stock owned by thn Southern lluilwny
in the competing lines.

Boston Officially Declared Cham-
pion SuKKested Changes la
Draft I nc Rules.
rhllpdelphla Tn. Nov. 0. The official
program of the nationnl baseball league
gathering moved rather ' slowly today
but the rumors of deals grew thicker and
thicker as tho day nnd night progressed.
The board of director of the league con-
vened' Nhortly after 12 o'clock and dis-
posed of a few rather unimportant ap-
peals from players who had grievances.
President Young was authorized to es-
tablish an office in the business section

league business. The Boston club wus
officially awarded the championship of
1H1I7.
The national board of arbitration then
got together to disiHise of matters unfin-
ished ut last night's session. The most
important subject before the board wus
the petition of class A leagues for a mod-
ification of the drafting clauses of the
nationnl agreement. The petition as pre-
sented met no opposition und it was de-
cided that its provisions should be rec-
ommended to the national league for
adoption.
The suggested change in the rules for
drafting which will without doubt be
endorsed by the league provides that
no player can be drafted by the Nationul
Iicugue unless be shall have served nt
least two years in the class A league
from which the draft is desired to ls
mnde. Class A consists of the Eastern
Western and the Atlantic leagues. No
change was asked by the minor leagues
in the drafting price which will there-
fore remain at ffiOO.
The changp in the drafting rule does
not prevent the purchase of any minor
league player by a nationnl league club
through mutual agreement of dubs in-
terested and transfer from minor to
major leagues though pnrcbnse or trades
can at any time be made as heretofore.
An addition to the drafting clause was
also recommended to the league for ap-
Rroval which grants permission to the
atlonal league clubs to lonn a player
to a minor league with the understanding
that the player can be recalled on thirty
days notice.
The business of the auxiliary bodies
the bonrd of arbitration and tne board
of directors having finally been disposed
of the National Baseball League proper
wns called to order for lt first session
at 9 o'clock tonight with the renresentn-
tive present from nil twelve clubs. The
meeting lasted Mess than an hour and
no business whatever wus transacted.

tactics with the result that the British
