agrees to recognize the notorious Dreyfus
claim, which is backed By the French govern
ment. and which Balmaceda rejected some
months ago. with a determination that won
him applause both in Europe and America. 1t

The Farmers of New York and New England
DO Not Take to 1t.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. July 9.--An extended
canvass by the New England Homestead shows
that the new peoples party is not
Endorsed by the farmers of New Eng
land and New York. The men interviewed
we're all prominent farmers. While some favor
more independent political action than hereto
FORE nearly all oppose the idea of special far
mers party. One or two 60 so far as to say that
this party, if very conservative and the right
platform is put forward, will draw 10 per cent
OF the farmers votes in their sections, Maine
and New York states, but the majority
place this number far lower, from one to two
per cent being the average. The subtreasury
bill and the loaniDg of new issues of paper by
the government on land values are looked
upon wild schemes and the free coinage OF
silver has a small following.
The opinion in general shows the strength of
