GERMANY AND DREYFUs.
TIE e~er,aus Dery that Thsy Ever HAD
any Relations with Hiss.


PARIS, Dec. o4.-The German Embassy has
issued a note denying that anybody connected
with It ever had direct or Indirect relations with
Capt. Dreyfus, or ever made an effort 10 have
Capt. Dreyfus tried In camera instead OF In
open court.
This sweeping denial is the German Govern
ment's answer 10 the sentencing Of Dreyfus for
the alleged betrayal Of French military plans TO
the Embassy In Paris, and TO the violent attacks
made upon the Embassy by the Paris press.
The newspapers have continued to lay the
burden Of Dreyfuss treason at Count Muenster's
door, despite his protests TO NJ. Hanotaux against
their charges.
In the last days they reiterated with great
positiveness that Count Muenster intcrfered TO
secure a secret trial so as to keep from general
knowledge the fact that the prosecution WAS
based on an discriminating letter taken from the
embassy. The German note closed with the
declaration that A such statements are mali
cious fsbrications."
LONDON Dec. 2+.-The Times correspondent
In Berlin says: The German press may he
congratulated upon its attitude during the
latest phase OF the spy mania in France. Great
interest naturally was shown in the Dreyfus
trial, in which the German Embassy has been
mixed up. but there has been no sign
OF an attempt to reply to the articles In the
French journals. Public opinion, however, Is
unable TO shake off the impression that Capt.
Dreyfus was condemned before his trial. II lie
TO lie hoped that the German press will exercise
the same restraint In this delicate matter. II
later the obscurity which overhung the trial be
cleared up"

appear that the murderer or murderer Of these

CHICAGO, Dec. 2i.-Debs and the other direc-
tors OF the American Railway Union will have
a chance TO spend Christmas with their families.
Notwithstanding that to-day was the day set for
them to go TO Jail and begin serving their SEN

Judge Woods this morning extended the stay

PENDANTS counsel he also modified his original

the Presidents of the trolley railroad com
panies in Brooklyn have been furnished with
copies OF the contracts and agreements which

They contain a demand for $o.25 a day for
motormen and conductors, an increase OF rs
cents on the present wages, and a restoration to
the old wages for the electrical men and other
employees whose pay was reduced last summer.
There is a very determined feeling among the
motormen and conductors TO insist on the de-
mand for the 25-cent increase, and there Is much
talk of a probable general tie-up. as the COM
panies are strongly disincllned TO make any
further concessions IS.
There is considerable speculation as TO how a
strike would affect the mail trolley cars, which
