Through one OF the curious incidents OF
trade, we suddenly find ourselves In pos
session Of tho entire stock OF a dealer In
Dresden China, having bought 1t practi-
cally at our own figures. There are two
ways of disposing Of it:
]. BY absorbing in our general stock ana
selling It With other goods "at least one-quartsr
2. BY making IL the subject Of one Of those
Special Sales for which this house is noted. when
closed out at prices p~henomenally low.
We have decided on the latter course, and
beginning NOVEMBER Fl (AND INCLUD-
ING NOVEMBER 26) shall institute q
Dresden Week." during which all these
beautiful goods will be offered at such
prices as are seldom, II ever, known in this
line of wares, being in every instance actu-
ally below the cost of importation. and less
by from 80 to rs per cent. than what they
are held at elsewhere under ordinary cir
cumstances.
The Importance Of this sale is such that
we believe we are doing our regular GUS
toners a favor in thus calling their atten-
ton to so unusual an opportunity.
Among the articles included are the fol-
lowing:

For convenience these will be arranged

each table will contain many articles worth
twice as much as they will be sold for under
such a schedule, we suggest the advisability
of as early a call in Dresden week as pos
sible.

Washington Sept. 26.-An instance
of the notable desire of the British gov
eminent to cultivate friendly relations
with the United States is given in the
course of some mail reports recently
reaching the state department from the
United States embassy at London. This
refers to the great military manOeuv-
res which were recently conducted on
Salisbury Plain, in the first week Of
the present month.
These manoeuvres took place in the
presence of the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the British army, the secretary of state
for war, several members of the royal
family the foreign military attaches,
and a waste crowd of people, and the
national flag of the United States was
placed side by side with the British
royal standard, the Union Jack and
the white naval ensign upon the prin-
cipal marquee at the saluting point.
There were no other flags on the tent
in question, but the four mentioned.

JUSTICE TO DREYFUS.
FRENCH CABINET DECIDES IN FAVOR
OF REVISION.

The Documents to IT, sent to the Cour'
of Cessation. The Minister of Justice
Will Proceed Against Any One Attack
lug the Army,
Paris, Sept. 27.-At meeting OF the
cabinet Monday morning, all the min
listers being present, a decision was
taken in favor of a revision or the tflaI
of Albert Dreyfus, the captain of artll-
lery who was degraded on charges OF
selling military secrets to a foreign
power, and sentenced to Imprisonment
On Devils island, near Cayenne ana
the documents in the case Will be Sent
to the court of cessation
The crowds of people outside the min
Lstry of the interior, where the capliie'
council was held, loudly cheered the
ministers, and there were shouts VI
"Vive Brisson!" "Vive la revision!'
The cabinet ordered the minister oil
Justice. M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petltloh Oh MILF
Dreyfus. wife of the prisoner OF DeVlls
island, for revision OF her huspdlu
case.
The court, therefore, will DECIDE the
legal question as to whether the Hrst
trial of Captain Dreytus was NltlaCeo
bv the forgery committed by the late
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who was
witness before the court martial, and
who confessed to having forged doc
ument in the case.
The minister of justice has announc-
ed that he has given instructions that
proceedings are to be taken lmmedl-
ately against any one attacking the
army.
Henri Rochefort, in his paper, the
Intransigeant, accuses Major EStefIa-
zy of having been bribed by the So
called Dreyfus syndicate, to cover
himself with dishOnor by confession tu
a forgery, Of which charge ne was
twice acquitted" M. Rochefort asserts
that he paid Esterhazy 1000 francs Tor
copies of all the doc ments in the case
and that, in addition, with two other
newspaper men, he paid Esterhazy,
who was literally without Genuine,
300 francs monthly to prevent him from
dying of hunger while waiting to obtain
a pension.
Continuing, M. Rochefort says: "Re-
Gently, without any apparent incentive,
Esterhazy mysteriously went to Lon
don, abandoning his three hundred
francs monthly. Why this emigration?
Who paid for his journey? With
what money has Esterhazy paid for
his meals?"
The Figaro says: THE government
may safely decide in favor of or
against a revision, but it's duty is to
come to a prompt determination"
NJ. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, says
France is divided into two camps,
those who conceive that the interests
of the country depend upon the con-
cealment of facts by lies, and those
who have sufficiently high esteem
for the country not to separate patri-
otism from the aspirations of justice
and truth"
