IT WAS NOT GERMANY.
Dreyfus Never Had Any Sort of Re
lations with Berlin Government.

Berlin. Jan. 25.-Baron Won Bulow,
minister of foreign affairs. made an
important statement in the reichstae
yesterday. which can hardly be regard
ed otherwise than finally disposing of
Germany's alleged connection with the
Dreyfus affair.
The minister said he desired To refer
to the matter with the greatest eau
ton. lest his action be interpreted as
a meddling with Frances domestic af-
fairs. He. therefore. confined himself
to declaring that between DTeyfus and
any German organs or authorities
whatever no relations of any kind had
ever existed. He said:
Il heard the names of WalSin. Ester
haZy and Picquard about three weeks
ago for the first time in my life. The
story of a letter that a mysterious
agent found in wastebasket at the
German embassy in Paris exists only
in imagination. 1t never existed in
reality. Finally. I may say that the So
called Dreyfus affair has never affected
or altered the genial relations of Ger
many and France"

New York, Jan. 25.-Dispatches from

cotton buyers OF Texas, who have sue

In conversation with a cotton broker
familiar with the methods OF the al

something about their transactions.
This man said:
1t is true that cotton brokers in
this city have been the victims of
gang of swindlers in Texas, some of
them as prominent cotton buyers as
any i'm that State. Others of the gang
pose as buyers. and really do small
business. The operations OF the gang
have extended over nearly ten years.
The game the gang worked was
very simple. but one that | have never

Gen. Joubert's election would mean

English, by whom he is held in great es-

more hostile attitude to Great Britain,

These Islands have been in the posses

strange in the extreme that France should
have tolerated their retention by Great
Britain through all the centuries that have
elapsed since then, for they are within
striking reach of the French coast some

It is only sentimental feeling that
causes England to retain possession of

everything save in the rule to which they
are subject, and there Is no doubt that
inaSmUch as some of these islands are
within range of the guns on the French
coast, England would experience great
