THE CABINET WINS
French Government Sustained
In the Dreyfus Case.
KESTNER SPEAKS IN THE SENATE.
Answering Him, the Minister of War
Declares No Evidence Submitted and
ReIterntos His Belief That the Con-
demned Captain Is Guilty.

PARIS. Dec. S.-The cabinet decided
TO answer in the senate the interpella-
tion regarding the Dreyfus scandal and
TO allow all the discussion desired. 1t
was believed the order of the day would
be voted. as was the case in the cham
Der of deputies, and that, therefore. the
governments action in the matter
would be sustained.
A band of law students assembled in
front of the Luxembourg palace where
the senate sits, and engaged In an anti
Dreyfus demonstration. They traversed
several streets in Indian file. shouting
Down with Scheureri" Down with
the senatei" Down with The Figaro"
and Down with Zola" The police.
however, were able to keep the crowds
moving.
There were many ladies and officers
in the galleries of the senate, and the
whole hall was crowded.
When the opening formalities had
been concluded, the president, NJ. Lou
bet, announced that NJ ScheUrer Kest-
ner, one of the four vice presidents, de-
sired 10 interpellate the government in
the persons Of the premier, M. Melne,
and the minister for war; General Bill
lot. in regard to their declarations in
the chamber of deputies on Saturday
last on the subject Of the alleged false
imprisonment of Alfred Dreyfus, a for
mer captain of French artillery, con-
victed by court martial of selling i'm
portant French military secrets to the
agents of a foreign power.
The premier signifled his readiness to
answer the questions put TO him, and
the senate decided to open the discus
sion forthwith.
NJ. Scheurer Kestner then arose and
reviewed the Dreyfus case at length
He traversed the statement Of NJ. Me-
line relative TO his evidence, saying
that, although he had not delivered the
documents into the premier's hands, he
had shown them to him.
NJ. Scheurer Kestner read his speech
in quiet unimpassioned tones, empha-
sizing the principal passages. When he
referred to the disinterested support he
had received from two newspapers ac-
cused Of being subsidized by the friends
of Dreyfus, storm of Kisses followed.
but he stood undismayed until it sub
sided and then went on.
The minister for war, General Billot,
replied that NJ. Scheurer Kestner had
submitted to him no evidence. He had
contended, the minister explained, that
the anonymous note was the basis Of the
whole affair and that If it was shown
not to have been written by Dreyfus.
the latter ought to be accorded a new
trial. But the general, as minister for
war, could not go back on the Judgment
of the court martial. and he acted with
in his right in declaring and repeating
that Dreyfus was guilty.
At the end of the discussion the SEN
ate unanimously voted the order of the
day in favor of the government.
The impression in the lobbies after
the close Of the debate and the adoption
of the motion was that NJ. Scheurer
Kestner's defense had received a death
blow,

MALONE. N. Y. Dec. s.--A peculiar
case of thieving was brought to light in
Malone by the arrest Of Angeline Card
ner and her two children. They had
been robbing clotheslines and were load

years he has been chief consulting physi-

Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. During that
time, with the assistance of staff of emi-

of ailing women. He is the inventor of
that wonderful medicine for women known
as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine acts directly on the delicate and
important organs that make maternity pos

bilitating drains 1t has transformed thou
sands of weak suffering women into
healthy, happy. robust wives. II is for sale
by all good medicine dealers.
