CAUSES PAINFUL IMPRESSION.
Effect of the Announcement of the
Check to French Government
mt Fashoda.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE newspapers here,
commenting upon the announced in
tention of the French government to
cause the Marchand mission to evacuate
Fashoda, say they must wait for the
declaration of the minister of foreign
affairs, M. Delcasse, before pronounc-
ing an opinion on the subject. But
they point out that this check has
caused a painful impression through
out the country.
The ministerial policy announced by
the premier, M. Dupuy, in the chamber
of deputies Friday, has been generally
well received. The cabinets policy OF
Cancellation and its decision 10 end the
attacks on the army, are approved, and
the chambers Endorsement of this pol
Icy also meets with approval.
The Gaulois says the court of cassa-
tion has decided to hear the minister Of
war; M. de Freycinet, in his In
vestigation into the Dreyfus case,
and that the court will content
itself with his statements, without in'
sisting upon seeing the secret docu-
ments in the case.
The Fronde says the case against Col
Picquart, who was charged with com
municating to unauthorized persons
the contents of important military doc
uments, in his defense of Dreyfus, has
been quashed and that the prisoner
who has been closely confined in The
Chirche Midi military prison, will be
released.

The PLAIN DEALER is under obliga-
tions to Mr.. Daniel Howard for copy
of the Irish World of last week. The
Irish World is edited by Patrick Ford
who was one of Blaine's ardent sup
porters, and a staunch republican.
The tendency of the republican party
toward Imperialism, and the methods,
policies and theories of the British
government has inspired Mr.. Ford to
sound the following notes of warning
to his fellow countrymen which we
commend to every thoughtful Irish
voter. The article being a full column,
wide measure we are able to give but
limited extracts therefrom.
1.-The Republican party is on the
wrong tack. 1t has been going wrong
for the past two years. 1t has cut
away from the traditions of Washing
ton and Lincoln. James g. Blaine is
no more among its prophets.
The Republican party Of today
looks Euglandward. England is the
enemy of Ireland; and she has ever
been, when opportunity offered, the
enemy of Americn.
With man like Blaine as Pres
ident of the United States the repub-
lican party would be truly Amer
| lean party. But because Blaine was
an American and because the Re-
publican party made him its candi-
date for president, England opposed
him and the English element in the
Republican party revolted.
To-day the English element domi-
mates the Republican party.
No; the Republican party of today
is no true American party. 1t is the
Anglo-Saxon party. All its concern
seems to be to consult for Epgland's
interests and to glorify the Anglo
Saxon race"
"Anglo-Saxonism" is now in the
air, and the Republican party has it
bad. Of the latter day Republi-
anism William Mckinley Is the en-
bodiment. His administration at
Washington is as 81 bservtent to Eng
nor-General of India" X X
! "And a vote to indorse Mckinley is
to vote to encourage the pirate en-
pire of England to continue its devil
tries in Ireland and to pursue its evil
course the world over" y y
"The Irish World in 1885 warned
the Republican party of this State
that it was making a mistake. We
think it is now again making q mis-
take. We have no opinion to offer as
to the possible result of the election
We only know our own duty in the
campaign and try to perform it. The
defeat of the republic IN party in 1885,
was blessing in disguise to thai
party. 1t brought Blaine and the
Irish together again. and Blaine and
the Irish in 1888 gave victory to the
republican banner. Aeother defea1
for the Republicans this time might
be another blessing for their party
1t certainly would be for the coun
j try"

miles distant from Nassau. At the
time the Teresa sunk she was about
$40 miles distant from Caimanera, the
port from which she started little
over two days before.
1t is said at the navy department that
Lieut.. Commander Harris will be or
dered at once to Norfolk, where the
rescued seamen will be placed aboard
receiving ship.
Greatest Regret Expressed.
The greatest regret was expressed
in official circles regarding the loss of
the Maria Teresa. Secretary of State
Hay said that he was indeed sorry to
hear that it had been found impossible
to bring the vessel to the United States,
when everybody was so much interest
ed in her. He expressed qualification
that no loss of life was reported in
consequence of the disaster.
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
said the loss was much greater than
any intrinsic value represented In The
ship. She was the link that connected
the great naval victory with the United
States. 1t was sentiment bred in this
country that succeeded in raising her,
and it was the wish of the whole people
that she should be brought to the
United States.
1t was the general impression about
the state, war and navy building that
the loss of the Maria Teresa would pre-
vent any further attempt to bring any
of the other vessels to this country.
