Despite the assertions of many of
the fistic critics that a manager is a
useless luxury for the average fight
er, the statement is not borne out by
the facts in the case, as a disciple of
Blackstone would say, says the Den
ver Times. "While it may be true
that the managerial expense may be
cut off without much harm by a man
who has reached the top rung of the
pugilistic ladder, it is just as true
that a manager has become an al
most indispensable necessity for the
scrapper -who is working his way up
ward. Advertising has been an es
sential element in the success of ev
ery fighter that has become promi
nent in the past decade or two.
An example of the worth of a
manager is to be seen right here in
Denver at the present time. Before
Ous fiuhliu passed into the hands of
the wily Billy Madden the Akron
giant was, not much of a cutter of ice.
In the months that Madden has had
him, however, Ruhlin has become a
decidedly dangerous factor in the
heavyweight circles. Madden in
sists that he will make him the
champion heavyweight of the world
before the year closes. At the pres
ent time a good many of the fistic
critics rank Ruhlin high up, and no
less an authority than Billy Delaney
puts him only a peg lower than Jef
fries. Madden's advertising genius has
boosted several of the past Queens
berry stars to the top of the ladder.
When ho took hold of John L. Sulli
van, the latter was looked upon as a
lusty lad, but it was not until Mad
den, through the judicious use of
printer's ink, and his rnany news
paper friends, had taken hold of him
did Sullivan become a dangerous
candidate for the championship
laurels. Madden had him the cham
pion before the mighty JohnL. earn
ed the title through the fistic route.
Madden figured in a similar capacity
in the case of Charley . Mitchell.
"When Madden got hold of Mitchell
the bloody Hinglishman was noth
ing but a diamond in the rough, so
to speak. But Madden gave him the
requisite boosting, and in a compar
ative short space of time Mitchell
was champion of England and was
ready to dispute the laurels of the
work witli the American champions.
Kennedy In New York.
Big Joe Kennedy, the San Fran
cisco heavyweight, arrived in New
York Thursday. He is to tight Peter
Maher at the Lenox Athletic club on
September 26. Kennedy comes well
recommended, and Eastern experts
think he is a championship possibil
ity. He is said to have made it in
teresting for Tom Sharkey in a train
ing bout with the Sailor, and Billy
Delaney, Jim Jeffries' trainer, is un
stinted in his praises of Kennedy.
Peter Maher claims to be as good as
ever, and doesn't pretend to be
scared by stories of Kennedy's great
ness. Kennedy is a stalwart man,
nix feet in height, and weighs when

clares he has never been defeated.
Kennedy has a wonderful physique
and stands erect as an arrow. He is
smooth shaven and possesses more
intelligence than the ordinary run of
scrappers. He said: "I am here to
flcrht Peter Maher, and If I win I
will be after a match with either
Sharkey or Jeffries. The talk that I
will train Sharkey for the Sailor's
coming fight with Jeffries is not so.
I am notgoing even near his quart
ers. This would be a foolish tiling
for me to do, especially when I have
serious intentions of tackling him
some day. I know Sharkey's style
like a book. I have boxed with him
several times in Frisco, and I have
been credited with sending him down
on different occasions. I am not
given to boastingj but' I know I out
pointed him often. I was matched
to fight Jeffries in Frisco a year ago,
but the champion never kept the
match, although I trained hard for
it."

Rennes, Aug. 23. When the fourth
session of the tiiird week of the second
trial by courtniarrial af Captain Alfred
Dreyfus, charged with treason, opened
at the Lycee here, Colonel Jouaust, presi
dent of the court, ordered that, the evi
dence given by M. Penot, a friend of the
late Colouel Sandherr, chief of the intel
ligence department, be read by the clerk
1 of the court. It was to the effect that
Colonel Saudherr said the Dreyfus
family offered him 150.000 francs ou
condition that he would clear Dreyfus.
Maitre Deniauge, for the defense, dis
posed of this allegation by reading the
actual note on the subject written by
Saudherr, thereby proving that the
colonel's remarks had been distorted,
Dreyfus' brothers having only said:
"We are convinced of the innocence
of our brother, aud will spend our en
ure fortune to discover the truth."
The testimony of the first witness of
the day, H. Linolle, a former official of
the government, was also in favor of
Dreyfus, as it was in direct contradic
tion of what M. Du Breuil deposed the
day before regarding the allesred inti
macy of Dreyius with the German at
tache at the honse of M. Bodson, a mu
tnal fricud.
The president of the court then called
the next witness, Colonel Maurel, who
was president of the Dreyfus court
martial in 18!U.
As M. Labori lashed him with poiuted
questions the colonel hesitated aud then
auswered in a short, choppy niauuer,
and, when M. Labori filially disposed of
him, the witness left the platform with
the pale face and scared look' of a man
who has awakened from a nightmare.
Counsel had drawn from the colonel a
confession that the secret dossier was
commnnicated to the judges of the
courtmartial of 18!)4 by Colonel Du Paty
de Clam. This avowal produced a sen
sation in court.
Colonel Maurel admitted reading one
of the secret- documents to the court
which had not been seen by the de
fense. He protested that only one docu
ment was looked at, alleging that this
sufficed to euable him to form a convic
tion that could not be shaken.
This protest inado matters worse, be
cause, as M. Labori poiuted out, if he
perused one it was Ins boonden duty to
peruse all. Colonel Jouaust upheld Colo
uel Maurel in his refusal to indicate the
nature of the document he read, but M.
Labori announced that he would sum
mon Captain Froystatter, another mem
ber of the tribunal of 18!)4, and get his
version of what then passed behind the
backs of the counsel for the defense
All tliis, however, was only prelim
inary to a tierce battle that ensued be
tween M. Labori and General Mercier,
the latter receiving reinforcements from
General Roget, General Gonse and Gen
eral Do Boisdoflfre, as well as valuable
assistance f roiu Colonel Jouaust himself.
Much excitement was produced.
M. Labori took General Mercier over
the whole ground of his previous depo
sition. Whenever General Mercier was cor
nered he declined to answer and Colonel
Jouaust invariably supported him. M.
Labori protested most energetically.
M. Labori's cross-examination was
successful so far as it went, but Colonel
Jouaust prevented him pressing his ad
vantage to the utmost, In fact, Jou
aust's hostile attitude toward the coun
sel for the defense then and during the
cross-examination of the witness, M. De
Grandinaisou, evoked the severest criri
cism on the part of the public preseut
and bodes ill for Dreytus. Not ouly
Colouel Jouaust, but the other judges
displayed considerable impatience dur
ing Labori's scathing cross-examination.
The lawyer made a strong point on
the part Esterhazy played. Mercier said
he did not know Ksterhazy and only
saw him once, at the Zola trial.
"That is very interesting," exclaimed
M. Labori. "But, surely General Mer
cier was present at the Esterhazy
trial?"
The general replied that he was nut
there and that he knew nothing about
the evidence in the Esterhazy prosecu
tion. "What!" cried M. Labori, "General
Mercier, who was the chief accuser of
Dreyfus, did not oven follow the pro
ceedings in the Esterliazy trial?"
A loud murmur of surprise and indig
nant comment came from the audience,
but Colonel Jouaust immediately sup
pressed it.
Counsel tneu brought General Mer
cier to nis assertion that 35,000,000
francs were used by the defenders of
Dreyfus aud asked the general to say
how ho knew this, who spent it and
other awkward questions which the gen
eral was unable to answer.
M. Labori questioned General Mercier
with reference to a document in the
secret dossier, which it is affirmed ex
isted prior to J 894, and yet was not pro
duced at the first courtmartial of the
prisoner.
The general confessed that he did not
know of its existence, and the same
btatemeut was elicited from General
Oonse, who declared that Colonel Saud
herr was responsible for its non-production.
These replies were tantamount to a
confession that Colonel Sandherr and
Lieutenant Colonel Henry played with,
the minister of war, and even that Gen
eral Gonse, assistant chief of the head
quarters staff, the chief of the intelli
gence department, keeping from the
two latter just what he pleased.
M. Labori proceeded to take up the
Panizzardi dispatch and to bring out
the contradictory translations of it and
the falseness of the final version.
The iinpertiueut behavior of General
Roget was strikingly illustrated when
he interrupted M. Labori's examination
of General Chamoin, which had re
sulted in Labori's scoring heavily
against Mercier with the exclamation:
"This examination is a waste of time."
The examination of Cliamoiu showed
Mercier m a very bad light, as it brought
out that he had privately communicated
to Chamoin, ou the first day of the6e
cret sessions, a. report on the Paniz
zardi dispatch for insertion in the secret,
dossier. General Chamoin admitted
that he did wrong in accepting the re
port, but pleaded ignorance in judicial
matters.
The report consisted of three pages,
of which the second and third, Chamoin
declared, contained fantastio and, in
fact, false representations.
M. Iibori brought General Mercier
to the bar in reference to this. Mercier
admitted that the reports emanate,!
from Du Paty do Clam, but claimed
that lie himself did not understand it
contents, though he thought it would
bo interesting and perhaps useful to
Chamoin.

After hearing General Mercier and
General Chamoin ou the bubject, Col
onel Jouaust declared the court would
rule the dispatch out of evidence.
The examination of General Mercier
haviug been concluded, Colonel Jouaust
asked Dreyfus if he had anything to
say, and the prisoner, m a calm voice,
replied to Mercier's statement that he,
Dreyfus, could have obtained the in
formation about the artillery, prom
ised iu the bordereau, while staying at
Bourges, where artillery trials were
beiug held. Dreyfus entered into an
explanation as to how ho speut his time,
showing that- ho did not inform himself
about the trials of the new guubrake.
General Risbonrg, who was comman
der of the Republ.cau guard in Paris iu
1894, was the next witness. He de
scribed the scene with Captain Lebruu
Renault, when the witness learned of
Dreyfus' alleged confessions to Captain
Lebrun-Reuault, the day after the pris
oner's degradation.
After being asked the usual question,
Drevfus nrotosted afcimxt frfiiifiral Ris.
"bourg's evidence.
"I am surprised," the prisoner said,
"that ho, Captain Lebrnn-Renault,
could have made the statements attrib
uted to him. Ou the way from the
prison of La tsautc Captain Lobruu
Kcuaul shook hands with him, a fact
which is in contradiction of his state
ment. Besides, when such a terrible
charge has been hanging over a man
who has resisted it for live years, wit
nesses should not come here merely to
speak their beliefs, but ought to bring
proofs, positive proofs. Otherwise I am
completely nonplussed as to how 1 cm
reply." Sensation.
Dreyfus then proceeded to give the
true version of his words ou tlie occa
sion of the alleged confession and dwelt
on his protestations of innocence to Du
Paty de Clam.
The prisoner's remarks deeply im
pressed his hearers.
At the request of M. Demango, Gen
eral Mercier was recalled and asked to
explain whv, having sent Du Paty tie
Clam to Uroyfiis to discover the amount
of the injury Dreyfus had done, he had
not- followed up his investigations.
At one point General Mercier replied:
"I might, perhaps, have thought of it.
But it did not occur to me."
The prisoner agaiu protested that the
inquiry ought to have been followed up.
"because it would have served to de
stroy the fiction of a confession to which
such importance is now attached."
(Sensation.)
The remainder of the sitting was
taken up with the deposition of minor
witnesses, mostly M. Beahrepaire'a pup-
pets, wnosc evidence, when it did" not
bore the audience, produced merriment.
Two interesting scenes, however, took
place, the first when M. Labori asked
General Roget to give his opinion of
Esterhazy's role and his visit to the
German embassy Oct. 23. 1S97. Roget
replied, in the tone of studied disdain
which he habitually adopted toward
counsel for the defense: "I absolutelv
refuse to tell you."
M. Laborf warndy insisted, but thh
president of the court crushed him wite
a curt refusal even to allow General
Roget to respoud.
The second scene was between M.
J-abori and Colouel Jouaust, after the
deposition of the Royalist deputv, De
Graudinaisou, which" consisted of a
claptrap tirade against I oreismers inter
vening iu the affair and tittle tattle
quite outside of the case, delivered in
grandiloquent style aud ending with the
preposterous words addressed to the
judges: "If yon think Dreyfus inno
cent acquit liim. But if you decide he
is guilty, yon must pronounce his con
demnation." M. Labori, however, cdled the dep
uty back, lie wanted to examine sev
eral of M. de Grandmaison's state
ments, but Colouel Jouaust refused to
allow the questions to be put, at which
couusel became tremendously indignant
aud insisted upon his right to do so, and
a warm altercation ensued between the
president of ins court and counsel. The
former, however, maintained his deci
sion, which was indisputablv unfair to
Dreyfus,' aud M. Labori "sat down,
gagged and boiling over with indigna
tion. ALL FOR COL BAUNETT

The only discordant note iu the con
vention was sounded by Senator Will
iam Flinn of Pittsburg, chairman of the
anti-Quay organization iu the last legis
lature. Mr. Fliun opposed the plauk in
the platform endorsing tin; appoint
ment of United States Senator Quay by
Governor Stone. A rollcall was taken
on the adoption of the platform as a
whole and it was adopted by' a large
majority. The anti-Quay delegates gen
erally voted against the adoption of the
platform aud tho nomination of Mr. Ad
ams. Before the result of the ballot- for su
preme court was announced the friends
of Judge Archbald of Scrantou and ex
Attorney General Palmer of Wilkcs
barro moved to make Mr. Brown's nom
ination unanimous. Superior Court
Judge Dimuer Becbcr of Philadelphia
was named in opposition to Mr. Adams
and received the. vote of many auti
Quay delegates. Judge Beeber was ap
pointed by Governor Hastings and his
term expires tho first Monday of next
January. Ho was not nominated be
cause he was not in good favor with the
frieuds of Senator Quay.
The nomination of Colonel Barnett
was made by acclamation. The nomi
nation of a supreme court, judge is
equivalent to an election, by reason oi
two vacancies iu the court and no electoi
being entitled to vote for moro than
one person. Aside from the nomi
nation of the ticket and the adoption of
the platform, new ruins were reported
and adopted for the government of the
state organization. There was a large
attendance at the convention for -an oil'
year, aud the proceedings wero quiet
and orderly.
Tho star attraction was the presence
of Senator Quay as a delegate from
Beaver county. He entered tho con
vention hall with Chairman Klkiu just
before tho assemblage was called to or
der. His friends instantly recognized
libit and cheered and applauded as he
took a seat along the center aisle. He
remained until aftor tho meeting of the
resolutions committee and then quietly
retired. Colonel Quay started later with
a small party of friends ou a trip to Hip
head of the Restigoucho riv, in
Canada, where he is expected to spend
about three weeks hunting moose and
fishine for salmon and trout.
. Senator C. L. Magce of Pittsburg was
conspicuous by his absence. He is con
valescent from a severe illness and by
tUe advice of the physician ho did not
attend the convention.
Uhairman Penrose made a strong
speech.
The following resolutions, introduced
by General Wiley, were unanimously
adopted by the. convention:
Whereas, The proud distinction has been
conferred upon the Tenth Pennsylvania vol.
nnteers of being tho only regiment east of the
Mississippi river that was sent by our gov
ernment to tho far off Philippines in order to
uphold the dignity and honor of our nation
and follow the d'-stinr of tho Stars and Stripes;
and
Whereas, The patriotic men .who belonged
to this regiment were led by our fellow citi
zen, the lieruiu and chivalric Colonel Alexan
der Ij. Hawkins, in the campaign around Ma
nila with such devotion and loyalty as to win
the admiration not only of our own govern
ment, but of the civilized world: and
Whereas. The command which he had the
honor to lend and the people of our state
have been called upon to mourn his death,
which occurred after he had won honor, fame
and distinction upon the battlefield and
whilst he was returning to his native land;
therefore,
Kesolved. That the Republican party of
lViunJlvania in convention assembled, spread
on record this testimonial of his honesty
and integrity of character, his worth as a
citizen and his loyalty and patriotic devotion
to dnty as a soldier.
We extend our 'waniie.,t sympathy to his
Imreavnl widow and family in tho irreparable
loss they, in common with the citizens of this
commonwealth, bavo sustained.
He it further resolved. That a copy of this
testimonial In- spread upon the minutes of the
convention and another copy be properly en
grossed and forwarded to his widow.
The platform adopted by the conven
tion was as follows:
We congratulate the American people upon

To further these ends we believe in nmin'. lin

Pennsylvania is proud of the record made
by her soldiers at Gettysburg, Antictam,

and glories in the fact that the spirit of the
old veterans has been handed down to their
sons, who heroically followed the destiny ot

;, nuns church and Malate.
We feel a patriotic pride in the fact that
very battle.fought in defense of our national
honor has contained a record of tho brave
leeds of Pennsylvania soldiers and we extend
to those now returning from the' Philippine
.stands a hearty welcome and express our ad
miration for the courage and bravery with
a hich they upheld the Sag of their country,
and tho honor of our state. The Tenth Penn
sylvania, under the leadership of the courage
ens and lamented Hawkins, occupies the hon
orable position of being tho only regiment
east of tho Mississippi ri ter chosen for cam
paign servic- in the dl.lat Philippines, and
is now a matter of national history that they
met the highest expectations of those who se
lected them for this patriotic service.
. To giv,i coatinued employment to tho in
dustry, ingenuity and skill of the American
niech mii; and laborer wo must find new mar
ket alnoud for our surplus products. The
rom n; r--ial control of additional territory will
afford new markets which will necessarily in
creas our commerc- and develop our manu
fnctitrin: interests. We have ceased to be
content with supplying products for homo
consumption alone.
Wo must keep pace with other nations in
:- eking new fields for our commerce and to
Hits end we support the liolicy of industrial
commerce and national expansion. We favor
for our national defense and the promotion of
closer commercial relations between the sec
tions of our vast territory, now an imperative
necessity for the immediate commencement
aud early completion of a great canal that will
give communication between the Atlantic and
Pacifb; oceans as well as its protection against
foreign control.
We favor the building up of our merchant
marine upon tho lines laid out by the bills re
isirtcd favorably to the senate and house, sec
ond session, Fifty-fifth congress, so that we
may have a reserve defense in case of war and
that 0),U"JO.OJJ of freightage now paid to
foreign shins may remain to the American
shipbuilder, the American ship owner, the
American seamen and the American mechanic.
We lKlieve the liest interests of the laborer
will be conserved bj- the continuance of Re
publican supremacy in state and nation. We
express our approval of the right of labor to
organize as well as capital, and believe that
aucii organization, properly aud lawfully con
trolled, will accomplish better riiults for both
the employe and employer. We recognize
thst the perpetuity of our institutions de
pends uijii giving labor the fullest and freest
opportunity to better its condition bysecur
ing rmpl'u men! tinder the moM favorable
circumstances.
We commend the wise, businesslike and
courageous administration of our distin
guished governor, William A. Stone. As chief
executive ho has shown a disposition to servo
the best interests of the whole people and to
conduct his administration oh lines of com
mon honesty and businesslike sagacity.
Like an individual, a state must live withiu
its income. An individual who pays out more
money than he receives becomes insolvent,
aud a state that adopts the same policy must
sink in credit. We therefore uphold the gov
ernor in his policy of reducing tho expendi
tures of the states so that they shall not ex
ceed our income.
The largest support should be giveu to our
charitable, eleemosynary, penal and ciiarita
ble institutions, but appropriations should not
be made, even for those worthy purposes,
beyond the annual revenues of the state. If
additional revenues are required, we favor
the taxation of incorporated capital and or
ganized trusts su that the public burdens may
be more fully and equally distributed.
We commend the good judgment of the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania in their selection of
representatives in both branches of the na
tional congress. They felt and properly rep
resent the great commercial, industrial aud
business iuterests of our commonwealth.
The Republican party owes a debt of grati
tude to her senior United States senator,
Matthew Stanley Quay, who, for more than a
quarter of a century, has stood iu the fore
front of the battle for Republican supremacy.
Our state is entitled to full representation
iii the United States senate, and we endorse
the action of the governor in making his ap
pointment to fill a vacancy caused by the fail
ure of the last legislature to elect.
Ve commend the faithful attention with
which the public business entrusted to our
junior senator. Boies Penrose, has been trans
acted. As a member of the committee on
commerce he has secured the appropriation of
millions of dollars for the improvement of
slack water navigation in Western Pennsylva
nia and for a deep channel hi tho Delaware
river. He has been assiduous in the perform
ance of the many duties exacted from him as
a representative of this great state and merits
the approbation of his constituents.
We favor an economical administration of
state affairs and demand the prompt settle
ment and collection of all claims and taxes
due by individuals, companies and corpora
tions. Wo also favor tne prouipt.'paymentof school
warrants drawn upon the treasurer so that
each district shall bo paid as soon as the ap
propriation is needed and demand made for
the payment thereof.
AVe believe in reducing the expenses of the
judi:iai, executive and legislative branches of
the state government to tho minimum so that
the public expenditures shall not exceed the
annua! revenues. It is a source of grattflca-
to recall that our state has never lost a dollar
by a reason of its accounting officers and we
usiM-eially cinuinend the business-like and effi
cient administration of the retiring state
treasurer, -Tames S. Beacom.
We welcome, thrice welcome, within the
borders of cur magnificent commonwealth.
and to our empire city, unequaled in her hos
pitality, the bravo soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who fought the long and terrible strug
gle for the preservation of our constitution,
the supremacy of law and the union of our
stan-s. Their victories are history. The con
summation of their matchless bravery and
work is a saved republic, unrivaled in tho gov
ernments of the world, and a united people of
TU.OM.IIjO, happy, prosperous and contented.
Pennsylvania gave the army of the Union
nearly IJ'J.UOJ brave soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. Those who remain will join the vast
body of our people who, with hearts throbbing
with love and gratitude, acclaim all honor to
the soldiers that fought at Gettysburg, the
high tide of relielliou, and driving from our
state the invading army first marked the re
ceding tide of the rebellion.
