In an Interview here yesterday Mr. Jekyll, sscretary of the British commission to the Paris exposi tion, suid it wss true that certain firms already withdrawn their applications space at the exposition on account the verdict ot the Hennes court mar Mr. Jekyll said there was no denying the fact that the movement In this direction was making itself felt. Us believed that it was quite probable that the present condition of affairs would have injurious effect on the attendance and material success of the exposition. It Is stated that pending the settlement affairs in France Tbe Graphic haa countermanded an order for the erection extensive prluting and electric driving machinery at tbe I'aris exposition.

Popular advocacy of the proposition to boycott the exhibition is spreading. Tht newspapers which most strongly support idea devote several columns to letter from individuals and resolutions of societies favoring a boycott. Th lord mayor London writes that the universal opin of the city Is faithfully reflected by pross. Sir William Ulake Richmond, member of tbe Royal academy, expresses the hope that the academy will take a lead in the boycott. He says he hopes no English artist will exhibit at Paris.

1 here Is some anxiety at Dover lest I delegation of Freuch scientists who are coming Saturday to attend a meeting ot the British association be received with a hostile demonstration, The withdrawal of exhibits will prob ably cause the British commission soma trouble in reallotting space, but ths ap plications have already so greatly tt ceeded the apace allotted to Great Brit ain that there is little likelihood that th British section will not be filled, The International Peace association stronirlv denrccstes the idsa of a hovcotL dermaar'e AttHnae. Berlin, Sept. 13. The Cologne Gasette cautions German manufacturers against deciding not to take part In the Paris ex position on account of the verdict In the Dreyfus case. "Germany," says the Gasette, "baa ne reason to play the leading role in this matter.

She should rather leave that to other powers who probably would like to see Germany place herself In a position hostile to France. Should tbe Dreyfus case, however, continue to develop in the same scandalous way it has done heretofore, and should France be driven to that course by the hostile attitude of many large states, then Germany would have consider the position she should take accordance with the dictates ot economical and political exigencies. All the same, there is no reason why we should march in the van so far as this question concerned." Herr Richter, the German commission er to the I'aris exposition, has gone to the French capital to complete the arrangements for the German exhibits. Pnhlle Meetings la Belaiwsa. Brussels, Sept.

13. Public meetings to express the Indignation felt over the Dreyfus verdict are being held in all the large cities of the kingdom. People ot all classes, from the highest to the lowest, are eagerly signing agreements not to attend the exhibition in Paria next year. Several large houses refuse to continue business relations with the French. In Antwerp Frenchmen are made as uncomfortable as possible.

There waa an anti French demonstration at the Antwerp theater Monday night. In Os tend the feeling is very strong. Many Frenchmen have been compelled to take refuge in hotels owing to the hostile manifestations directed against them on the street. Reports from the Netherlands show that the unjust verdict of the Renncs court martial has aroused deep resent ment there and that Frenchmen, wherever they appear, especially in cafes and restaurants, are coldly treated. Drerfna Mar Be Pardoned.

"Thev sav Clara's husband (a leading a fast life." "Yea, he's a conductor on the limited express now." After a Stormy Gathering a Factional Ticket Nominated. The Democratic Couuty Convention bad been called to meet at the Wilkesbai re Armory Tuesday al 10 a. but it was eleven o'clock before a ft delegates got together and were called to order by the chairman.

Various committees were then announc ed and the convention adjourned until 2 p. m. At about U.IiO the delegates reconvened There had beeu the hotUst, kind of a can vass during the night aud morning as to the sction of the convention, parth n'arly In regaid to the nomination fur j'idge. The nahan faction advocated tbe en dorsement of Halaey and that developed a large opposition nnder the leadership of J. M.

Garman. The afternoon eeAxlon wasso largely give, np to wrang'ing that it waa after fout o'clock before anything was done in the way of transacting the business for which tbey had assembled, the nomination of candidates for county offices. When tbey lust got at it the whole job was finished inside of half an hour. There was a large attendance of onlookers, doubtless in anticipation of the turbulent proceedings. These opened immediately upon the call to order tor tbe after )ou session, with the presentation of the cot and dried reports of the committees named by Chairman Dasch at John T.

Leuahan's dictation. The committee on organization named a Lenaban man, as. R. Gorman, of Hazleton, for chairman. The Garmanitee asked to amei the report by substituting the name of Peter A.

O'Boyle, of West Pittston, for chairman. Couuty chairman Dasch declined to put the amendment, and after considerable talk the committee's report was voted on and declared adopted. Immediately after Mr. Gorman had taken the chair the committee on resolu tions leported. Tbe platform framed de dared faith in the long established princi plea expounded by Jefferson, Jackson, Til den and Bryan, expressed gratitude to the soldiers of the Spanish war, advocated the speedy suppression of insurrection in the Philippines and the establishment of free and independent government in that land as well as in Cuba, denounced the Repub Ilran state administration, sympathized with Dreyfus and endorsed the Republican candidate for Judge, Hon.

G. L. Halsey. Exception was taken to any each action ae was proposed by the committee on resolutions in the matter of tbe judgeship nomi nation, and a motion was made to strike out tbe Halsejr resolution. Well, well, weiii'1 shouted Peter A 0 Boyle when the Halsev endorsement resolution was read.

John T. Lenahan. in brief speech, moved the adoption of tbe resolutions as read. Attorney Gibbons took the fl lor and vigorously denounced the movement to endorse Judge Halsey. He said that a majority of the forty odd so called Democratic lawveis who had Igned a petition in favor ot this thing were gold bugs who voted for Palmer aid Buckner three years ago.

Dr. Trimmer. White Haven, (tbe home of Jude Halsey) thought it proper to make no ination year Inasmuch the Republi cans had several times Bhown a similar onrtesyln the election of judges. Mr Lenahan followed in a scathing denuncia tion of the men who were boasting of the superiority ot their Democracy partic nlarizlng as to Gibbons, whom he charged with havii.g opposed Judge Lynch wheD he was the regular candidate of the party. Refusing to entertain tbe motion to striks out the Halsey resolution, and ln ststing that as no minority report had been submitted from the committee on resolu tions nothing was in order but to vote on the report before them, tbe chair put tbe question and hastily declared the re port adopted.

Then bedlam broke loose. The spectators were strongly ln sympathy with he dissenters and there weie lond calls for speeches from O'Boyle and Mo Gahren Both responded iu fierv fashion The chairman was unmoved by the turbu lent demonstrations and refused put any or the numerous motions to vote on the Halsey rf solution separately. Mr. Herring appealed from the ruling cf the chairman but remained ailently at I is post amid the up rosr. There were yells to put him out and elect a new chair nan.

A delegate movd that all the lawyers be cleared ont. But the noise only grew in volume and the d.s oruer Decame more and more violent in its aspect. Tbe chair finally called on the pollcA and several officers attempted to quiet the score or more who were executing a war dance in tbe space between the platform and the first row of delegates' seats. Lawyer Mc Cormlck was collared by a policeman but he had taken him only a short distance when they were surrounded by a crowd and the officer compelled to release McCormlck Tbe chair at last receded from the position he hsd taken, and upon agreeing to call the roll on the adoption of the Halsey res olutlon partial order was restored. Tbe advocates of the nomination of Attoruev Freas as candidate for Judge loudly ap plauded every vote against the Halsey en dorsement resolution, but as the Democra tic Wilkesbarse Leader says, "as the roll call proceeded it was observed that the Freas faction had more noise than votes, and when the result was made known it was another vic tory for Halsey and the Lenaban wing The eloquence of the latter Lad fonnd fa vor in the sight of the faithful." The vote was 225 for and 53 against endorsement.

It is said that Chairman Gorman only con seated to take tbe ballot after candidate Kirkendall had Informed him that unless It was done he would not allow his name to go before the convention for the County Treasurer nomination. There was smooth sailing after the de velopment of the minority faction's weak nees. Ex coanty Chairman Trescott, who hsd been among the noisiest of the Freas advocates, came forward and announced the withdrawal of Cool, Hibbs and Gruver as candidates for treasurer, register and commissioner, resptctlvely. This left bnt one candidate before the convention for Treasurer, Fred. Kirkendall, and one for Register, Geo.

7 B. the At roiiowea strictly tne rresi dent's Instructions UNJUST CRITICISMS OP THE PEESS At No Time Haa tho General Had More Tbiut Five Thonsaad Mew Available For Active Dntr Rnmov That He Wants to Be Relieved. Washington, Sept. 13. The assaults upon Major General Otis have not had the slightest chance of success from the licKinumg.

The only result has been thut several of those who wers bitterest against Otis have injured themselves with Mr. Mc Kiuley. This is not because Mr. McKinley is especially fond of Otis, for he is not, but because. Otis' assailants attacked him chiefly for doing what Mr.

McKinley had expressly ordered him to do. Mr. McKinley firmly believes in the necessity and the justice of the Dress censorship and does not hesitate to say so to any persons who speak to him about it aud are of sufficient importance to cause him to express his views to them. Here is the administration view in a nutshell: The attack on Otis for his plan of cam paign was due to ignorance of the con ditions at Manila. Those who have been criticising Otis for lack ot vigor did not reulize that he has not had at any time as many as 5.000 men available for campaign.

All the rest of hss army were volunteers whose time had expired, who were impatiently awaiting transportation home and who could only be used for repelling attacks in the immediate neigh borhood of Manila. To pursue the na tives into the interior waa impossible. ajust Criticism. The criticism of Otis for staving close ly in Manila was equally unjust Manila. mied with a people in sympathy with the insurgents and having within its borders sometimes as many as 6,000 sick and helpless American soldiers, was the real place or danger, the only olace for the genernl in command.

If Otis had left Manila and had gone after the glories to be won only in action he would have de served to be dismissed from the armr. Until the full truth about the feeling in I iuuiiuu mm me uospuai conuiuons mere is published the measure of General Otis services cannot be taken. Manila was the danger spot, and he staid there, using all of his 5.000 regu lars who were well enough for duty as a gurrison to guard the sick and hold the insurgent sympathizers in awe. General Otis dared not leave and dared not send away his garrison on interior campaigns. Otla Wants to Qnltt Hongkong, Sept.

13. The World cor respondent has received advices from Manila stating that General Otis has been confined to his bedroom for three days. He has been reading the newspa per attacks upon him and is quoted as saying, "If Washington does not relieve me, I'll relieve myself." New Cases In Hew Orleans. isew urieans, Kept. 13.

Four new cases of yellow fever were announced by the state board of health yesterday, three of which had been under surveillance for several days. No deaths were reported. The board has determined not to quaran tine against infected points, inasmuch as Mississippi has closed her doors against this city, and Texas and Alabama are bent on maintaining their Quarantine. Vicksburg, Natches and other prominent towns of western Mississippi are forcing the larger Louisiana towns to quarantine against New Orleans, although the Lou isiana state board has taken no action. Monroe was warned that unless she quar antined against new Orleana Vicksburg would quarantine her.

This policy will be detrimental to business interests here, for there are few towns In Louisiana which would quarantine unless forced to do so. There have been only seven cases ot fever here altogether, and the city was never in better health. Yonthfnl Prodlvr at White Honse. Washington, Sept. 13.
