PARIS, Jan. 5.-Capt. W. Fred Dreyfus
OF the Fourteenth regiment, artillery,
recently attached to the general staff of
the army, who was tried by oourtmar-
tial, convicted OF treason in disclosing
important war Office documents to for-
eigners and sentenced to deportation
and imprisonment for life in fortress,
was publicly degraded this morning in
front OF the military school in this city.
Dreyfus turned deadly pale as he signed
the prison register. When this formal
ity was gone through, two gems d'armes,
with revolvers. escorted him to a closed
military wagon. in which, surrounded
by guards with drawn swords, Dreyfus
was driven to the military school. The
route was lined by thousands.
IN THE SQUARE.
On the arrival at the school Dreyfus
was placed in an improvised cell. De-
tachments from every branch OF the
garrison OF Paris began milling in
the place and by a. m. fully 900 troops
were ranged about the quadr angle. At
9 O'Clock Dreyfus was conducted to the
square and led before General Darres, in
command of the troops, and the sens
tence OF the court martial was read to
the prisoner. The general said: "You
are adjudged unworthy to bear arms
in the name of the French people de-
grade you." General Darres gave q
sharp word OF command. and a non.
commissioned officer of the republican
guard approached Dreyfus. The in
fantry presented arms, the cavalry pre-
sented swords and there was long,
solemn roll from the massed drum corps.
Dreyfus started back as the non-com-
missioned officer touched him and
shouted: 81 am innocent; l swear it..
Vive la France"
STRIPPED OF HIS INSIGNIA.
A non-commissioned officer then tore
off Dreyius' epaulettes and all the dis
tinctivs marks OF his rank as captain of
artillery, ending with breaking the
prisoners sword in two and throwing
the two halves at his feet. Dreyfus was
then marched, bareheaded, around the
entire square.
In front OF the troops. he was greatly
excited and shouted repeatedly, 81 am
innocent; swear it," But every time
the prisoner spoke, in accordance with
orders previously issued, his voice was
drowned by the roll OF drums. As

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The protests of

it does, similar action by Germany, is

THE MINISTER'S CLAIM.
The Austrian minister undertakes to
show in the first place that the imposi-
ton OF diferential duty of Ito cent
peg pound on Austrian sugar is in VIOLA
tion OF article Ill OF the treaty of 1929
Hungary. 1t is asserted that the ex-
agreement under the Mckinley act es-
tablished q basis OF commercial rela-
tions, and that Austria- Hungary con.
osded to the United States the same
reduction of duties that it granted to
other countries, under what ia known
as the most favored nation clause. The
Austrian minister also shows that the
assessment of bounty upon sugar pro-
duced in Austria is now the act of the
imperial government, but ia entirely a
provincial affair. and so corresponds to
the independent action of any OF our
states. Inasmuch as the bounty system
OF Austria differs from Germany. it was
Contended that the same construction
which put the differential tariff on Ger
man sugar did not apply to Austrian
eugar. But when this question came
formally before Secretary Carlisle upon
an inquiry from the collector OF customs
at Baltimore, the secretary disposed of
the contention in the words, in letter
dated August 31st last, as follows:
THE department is in receipt of your
latter of the 18th inst, in which you re-
quest to be informed that the former
countries grant direct or indirect bounty
on sugar. In reply 1 have to state that
Germany and Austris-Hungary grant
by lhw direct bounties on sugar and that
under the operations of the laws of
France, Belgium, Denmark and the
Netherlands, providing for remission of
the internal revenue taxes on beets used
in the production OF exported sugar, in

by the exporters"
