III IY1 The "Daily News" Has an Exposure of the Affair, So It Will Say. THE FflGTS WOULD DESTROY The Real Story Would Ruin Several. Summons Served on M. Zola' and Major Aurore to Appear Before Assize Court On the Charge of U bel Anti-Jews Continue Their Demonstrations In the Provinces, Which are attended With Much Disorder. Bv Cable to The Morning Post. London, Jan. l'J. The Daily News, in its issue of tomorrow, will make a feature of the information it has received from a person who is in a position to be well acquainted with the facts of the Dreyfus case, which supports a growing belief that Russia was the recipient of the military secrets said to have been be trayed by Dreyfus. The paper's inform ant asserts positively that this is so, w ith an emphasis that w as lacking in the pre vious similar statements. He says: "It is this that paralyzed the govern ment. If the real facts were divulged every Frenchman would be w ildly in dignant at France's ally for obtaining her secrets by means of bribes and spies, and probably the alliauce would be en dangered. The government is thus in a most difficult position. It must, at all risks, prevent the truth from coming out. The paper declares that the facts of Dreyfus' culpability are as follows: Dreyfus confided the secrets to a wo man, possibly without any knowledge of the use they were to be put. She con veyed them to the Russian Government. Dreyfus received no payment for be traying the secrets, and is probab!- in nocent, so far as knowingly giving in formation to a foreign power is con cerned. The writer concludes: 'T know from the best authority that the secret evi dence upon which Dreyfus was con demned was that which proved that he indirectly sold the French military se crets to Russia. The fact that Russia, not Germany, is implicated, is the se cret of both the "agitation and inaction of the Government." President Dole Will Be Entertained at Chicago.

NATIONAL LEGISLATURE. War Would Be m 6ood Thing for the United States, Declares Berry of Kentucky. By Telegraph to The Morning Post. Washington, Jan. 10. A goodly part of the Senate session tpday was spent in discussing the proposed reduc tion of postal facilities in large cities Mr. Iloar offered a resolution designed to prevent it, but, on objection, went over until tomorrow. Mr. Tillman of fered a resolution to investigate whether railroad ticket brokers bought and sold free railroad passes; whether railroad companies have habitually violated the law prohibiting free transportation; whether contracts are made with news paper proprietors by which transporta tion is paid for by advertising, and whether a law should be passed to pun ish railroad officials who give free trans portation unlawfully. The resolution went over until tomorrow. Mr. Thurston offered an' amendment to the bill for the sale of the Kansas Pa cific road, providing that in case the government bought that road the Presi dent might sell it. The bill went over without action. In executive session Mr. Morgan spoke to a small number of Senators on the Hawaiian treaty. HOUSE. Washington, Jan. 18. The House today was brought again to a vote of confidence of the policy of the Republi can managers to prevent an expression upon the question of voting the bellig erent rights to Cubans and Republicans responded solidly. Mr. Bracker, of Michigan, got recog nition from Speaker Reed soon after the House met, and offered a resolutioa in structing the Committee on Foreign Af fairs to report forthwith the Morgan Senate resolution. This was declared out of order and appeals from Reed's decision accepted as judgment of the House 168 to 120. ; Then diplomatic and consular appro priation bill was taken up. A number of amendments looking to the assertion of a declaration recognizing the Cuban beligerancy, were 'suggested, but all were ruled out of order. General debate begun under agree ment to conclude until 4 o'clock tomor row, and then, take a vote on motion to recommit the bill with instructions to insert Senate resolution or something equivalent. f War Would Be a Good Thing. Messrs. Hitt and Adams, of Pennsyl vania, eulogized the dealings of Presi dent McKinley with the Cuban question. and advocated a continuance of it. . Messrs. Dinsmore of Arkansas, and Berry of Kentucky, criticized the Re publican inaction and latterly boldly as serted that war would be a good thing for the people of the United States. Mr. Dinsmore quoted from speeches made in the last Congress by Hitt and other Republican members of the cSdn mittee on foreign affairs, demanding ac tion by the Democratic executive com mittee. In response to the pleas and appeals of the people. "If it ta.s right then," he asked, "why is it not right now? Has not war gone ou? Is ,not the condition worse now than then?" The intervention of the United States on behalf of Cuba, to bring, about au tonomy, Dinsniore asserted, did not meet the promises of Republican candidate or demands of the Republican Convention. These were, he said, that the efforts of the United States should be directed to securing peace on fhe island and the in dependence of Cubans. "God speed the day when that shall be the end and aim of the efforts of our government!" (Ap plause.) In concluding his remarks Dinsmore made a general attack upon the policy of the Republican party regarding the tariff, civil service and the currency. Mr. Berry, of Kentucky, said, "I don't fear war. In fact I think that a little blood letting just now would be good for the American people. No applause. I would like to have the government of the Lrnited States do as that of Great Britain has done in ker recent declara tion that the ports of Eastern China shall be free to the commerce of the world. :Vhen you tauch the old lion of Eng land on his commercial nerve you hear his roar with the power of the army and navy behind it." Later Mr. Berry rather contemptuously alluded to the statement that the grant ing of belligerent rights to Cuba would irive Spain the right to search our ves sels. "Just let her stop our merchant vessels once or twice, let her fire upon the flag of the United States, but once, and that will kindle the flame that will free Cuba." A voice. "What will become of us?" Mr. Berry : Never mind about us, we will take care of ourselves.. (Applause.) Steamer Stockholm City Burned, -j By Telegraph to The Morning Post. NewroitT News.

The Mies Will Open Their Campaign Prob ably Today. Bv Telegraph to The Morning Post. Washington, Jan. 19. The silverites will probably open their campaign in the Senate tomorrow: Senator est. m charjre of the . so- called "Stanley 3Iatthews Resolution." which declares government bonds pay able in silver, as well as gold, and which was reported from the Finance Commit tee Tuesday, today gave notice that he would call up that measure at the con clusion of the morning hour this after noon. Owing, however, to protests from sound money Republicans, who de manded more time, he consented that it go over until tomorrow. The silver advocates think the time is ripe for a move forward. The Republicans made a careful can vass of the Senate today. The result showed there was at least a strong pos sibility that the resolution might not pass the Senate. They are, of course, counting on sup port from the sound money Democrats, and say they have assurances from some who supported the Chicago Platform that they will now vote against silver on the direct issue. While the Republican leaders will not say they are positive, the resolution can be beaten, yet they do say they expect that result and will make a fight on that basis. More Operatives Striking.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. Mechanic Duff Shoots His Wife and Mo-ther-ln-Law. Bv Telegraph to The Morning Post. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 19. Edward Duff, a mechanic, shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law, Mary Maher, tonight at his home. Duff was a heavy drinker and had separated from his wife.

Democratic candidate, and twelve short of the necessary vote to elect, there is little hope of his election, except through a combination with a combina tion with an'element of the Republicrns, which is not likely to oe produced, on account of his straight-laced Democracy. Later. Annapolis, Md., Jan. 19. Only one ballot was taken in joint assembly today for Senator for successor to Senator Gorman. No one having received a majority of votes cast.thejoint assembly adjourned until Thursday, when ballot ing w ill be restimed. Mr. McComas, the leading Republican, gained three and Gorman four. Other votes were scattered. No gains have been made by any candidate. Recalci trant Republicans are Btill determined to hold up. There is talk of combines and bargains by which the Democratic Representa tives hope to nominate their Senator, but he will hardly be Gorman. It will likely be a long fight. Ex-Senator Jack son, who has served in the Senate two terms, is still absent, having gone to Florida, it is said, on business. A ru mor is current that business was not the only reason for his departure South. He did not care to vote for a Repnblican, andjVvould hesitate, it is stated, to cast his ballot for Gorman. In connection with this rumoredxalli- ance between tne uemocrats ana tne 11 bolting Republicans, the story is that Malster or Shaw, of Baltimore, would be less objectionable to the Democrats than the others named. The Democrats will be willing to prolong the deadlock throughout the session, as it would con tinue in office Senator Gorman, their caucus nominee. The friends of Judge McComas agree to circulate a caucus call for Thursday, with the axpectation of 'getting the re calcitrant Republicans in line. This, however, may proye a difficult task. Gorman's Successor. If a caucus could have been held prior to the balloting, by the result of which all the Republicans would have been bound, or if a caucus, by which they would be bound could be held tomorrow, Judge McComas would be Senator Gor man's successor. Because of the deter mination of a majority of the twenty one votes from Baltimore City and seven of the eleven Eastern Shore members to remain away from a caucus, it looks as though the obstacles against Judge Mc Comas, as they now seem, are too great to be overcome. The impending dead lock now threatens more seriously than ever. Indeed, a deadloek appes now more probable than ever, though ere are not lacking prophesies enough t-Vt a result may bt reached this week, probably. The Democrats are not prepared to take a hand in tht Republican fight, though they are closely watching every move. Senator Applegarth voted for Judge Page instead of Mr. Gorman to day, because he believes in the Eastern Shore law, whether it is on the statute books or not, and it is not there now. He also made his campaign partly on bis adherence to the former law and its immediate re-enactment. A $2,500,000 Banking Concern F; By Telegraph to The Morning Post. n .

The Great Englishman Not so Well But Not Very III. By Cable to The Morning Post. London, Jan. 19. The alarming re ports concerning the health of Mr. Glad stone which were published broadcast this afternoon are exaggerated, but there i is a grave reason for fear that the grand old man, who is now at Cannes, will not survive to asrain see his native shores.
