DKEYrus Is INNOoENr.
So Says lola, Who Is Working for His Re-
lcnsc.

New York, Dec. "A dispatch to
the World from Paris says:
l have substantial proofs of Drey-
fuss innocence, lola asserts. He shall
not remain IN exile. / have made his
liberation my affair. l will devote my
life to it.
The explanations of Esterhazy are
contemplate. Everything accuses him
He condemned himself by changing
his style of handwriting after the pub
fishing of the Borderau, Cthe memoir
andum on which Dreyfus was con-
victed)
Another article by lola is printed in
the Figaro, under the heading The
Syndicate" In it Zola writes:
The very conception of n Hebrew
syndicate having been formed to buy
the release of Dreyfus and the con-
demnation of another in his stead
everybody knows to be manifestly
base, pure and simple. 1t is worthy of
those who invented it. Dreyfus was
condemned for treason by court
martial. From that moment he be-
came traitor-not a man, but an alb
straction, embodying the idea of his
murdered country and representing
not only present but also past treason
to the obstinate mind, only mindful
that his treason might have defeated
us.
1T, dhe syndicate explanatory is
simple enough. He is Hebrew. The
Hebrews, rich and powerful without
country, will secretly work to get
him out of his difficulty by purchas-
ing mems consciences and involving
all France in the meshes of an afro
cious conspiracy.
so the syndicate Is formed-a vast,
mysterious enterprise; people in
masks large sums passed to strangers
by night under bridges; distinguished
personages corrupted whose honesty of
years is bought at fancy prices. These,
talleEed syndicate mcmbers) are
French citizens, our equals, our
brothers, whom imbecile anti semitism
drags daily in the dirt An attempt
was made to crush them through
Dreyfus by making the fruit of one
the crime of the whole race. 1t is easy
to understand. They are supposed to
passionately desire to make manifest
to all the innocence of their core
ligionists.
Il speak of them without strong feel
ing. / neither love nor hate them
For me they are men. That suffices.
1.-THE newspapers which abuse Drey-
fuss brother because he does his duty
are disgrace to the press of France.
France is no longer France If she
can be so deceived and driven to mad
rage against an unfortunate being
who, for five years. has been expiating
under atrocious conditions a crime he
never committed"

MRS. NACis's CASE.
She VIII Plead Guilty tn MnnsIaughter In
the First Degree.

New York, Dec. 3.-After a consulta-
ton with Judges Maddox and Smith.
District Attorney Youngs decided, IL is
said, to accept plea of manslaughter
in the first degree for Mrs. Mack, the
accomplish of Martin Thorn. in the
murder OF William Guldensuppe.. ac-
cording to the Herald. The extreme
penalty for this degree of crime is
twenty years imprisonment, with a
communication of seven years and seven
months.
Mrs. Nack's lawyers, before Mrs.
Mack confessed, it Is annornced, came
to an understanding with the district
attorney that she would surrender her
self TO the state as witness only on
condition that she be allowed to plead
to manslaughter. Mr.. Youugs saw the
force of Mr.. Friends reasoning, that
even II convicted. the woman would not
be executed, and at the beginning of
the first trial. in view of Attorney
Howe's defense. felt compelled to ac-
cept her confession.
Judges Maddox and Smith now see
the matter In the same light, aided
however, in their conclusion by new
points which Mrs Mack brought to the
attention OF her counsel.
Mrs. Mack, it will be remembered.

SPA rsu NEWSPAPER VIEWS.
They are Very Diverse on the Decree for
Cuban Autonomy.

New York Dec ga despatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Public opinion here is engrossed by
the Cuban question. There Is little
else in the papers than matter relating
to the DEGREES. Some extracts from
the leaders of the principal papers will
give the best idea of the diverse points
of view whence is regarded the gov
ernments ample redemption Of the
promises 1t made.
The Liberal Is entirely satisfied.
The Epocha regards it as an ex-
ample of red ruin, the breaking up of
the law, considering that the solution
of the grave problem of fTmmerciai
autonomy can neither be accepted as
satisfactory nor can thu motives
brought forward in its defense be
looked upon as encouraging.
The CORES says the government has
kept its promises and striven for
peace.
The Impartial argues that the step
taken by the government was neces-
STATED by the circumstance of the
case, and to continue In the road fol-
lowed up to the present was to ar
rive inevitably at the abyss.
The Correspondence says frankly:
The liberal government. taught by the
bitter experience of the last three
SNdis, HAS uoiS int soic Nhi'lb poSsi-
BILE.
The Progresso finds that Under the
new regime Cuba has more liberty
than the rest of Spain.
The Heraldo is critical and objects
to the long introduction and asks
when and where Spain acted with
brutality in Cuba. as the preamble
more than lnsnuates.
The pens with which the queen re-
gent signed the decree have been Civ
en- to Senior Garcia Molinas for the
authorizement of Porto Rico. Senior
Moret has also given to the same in
sttution the pen he used in drawing
the DEGREES. As to the rlmor that
the office of colonial minister is to be
abolished now that the colonies are au-
tonomous, 1t is too absurd to merit
refutation. More than ever will n
minister be required to superintend the
dealings between the colonies and the
mother country.

Three years is generally believed to

evidently In great doubt as to their
ability to impose conditions on an ex-
tension and il may be that they will

STREET RAILWAYS COMPETITOR.
Bicycle Cuts Wide swsth In That Capa-

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 81. I, Brown,
chief of the state bureau of railways,
has completed his annual report on
street railways. A comparison OF in

len off in measurable degree from
those of last year. Major Brown
says:
In all probability the use of the

cities where favorable conditions do
not exist for the use of the bicycle,
where the hills are steep. and not easy
of ascent or descent the railways prob
ably have not been affected by the use
of the wheel to so great an extent, but
in cities like Harrisburg, and many
others, it cannot be gainsaid that the
bicycle has become the most serious
competitor of the railway.
