Crisis in France.

New York, Sept. IA dispatch from
Paris says:
France is or the brink of the gravest
crisis since The birth OF the third repub-
lie The situation is briefly this:
Premier Brisson and all the other mem
bcrs of the cabinet, with the exception OF
Zurlinden, minister OF war, and possibly
I.ockroy, are convinced of the absolute
necessity of the revision of the Dreyfus
case. General Brugere has signified his
willingness TO take the portfolio of war
and accept revision. At Saturdays meet
ing of the cabinet the decision will be
taken and it is certain that revision will
be decreed.
President Faure has been a determined
opponent to revision and caused it to be
rumored he will resign if it is granted.
No one believes he will resign, but every
one sees that the threat to do so is des-
perate expedient to get rid of Brissons
:abinet and of revision also.
But Faure's unconstitutional action in
lirectly interfering with responsibility in
he cabinet affords example of the law
essness in high places which is the first
step toward revolution. A military coup
retat is freely conjectured as the prob
,ble outcome of the crisis, should Faures
,ifort to bulldose the Rrisson cabinet fail.

WAR MAY NOT Be OVER
FIGHT OVER THE PHILIPPINES.
General Wheeler Thinks the War
May he Resumed-The President
Keeps One Hundred Thousand
Volunteers in Service Until Peace
Is Settled.
ieago, Sept. ia Washington spe-

Chicago, Sept. ia Washington spe-
cial says:
The opinion of Major General Joseph
Wheeler that the war is not over and
that Spain will refuse to give up the
Philippines until forced to do so is shar-
ed by many army officers and by men,
bers of the cabinet
President Mckinley is not an optim-
list as to the continuance of peace and he
has insisted that the war department
shall keep fully 100000 volunteers in the
service until the peace commissioners
have succeeded in drafting a satisfactory
treaty or have failed in this effort.
The president has been importuned by
senators, congressman and governors to
muster out particular regiments, but he
has put his foot down and said that the
war department shall maintain sufficient
troops to be ready for any emergency,
even that of resuming hostilities, in the
event of failure to agree upon settle
ment of the Philippine question.
To an Ohio delegation that called at
the White house few days ago to urge
the muster out of another Ohio regiment
the president stated his position very
clearly. He told them he had little
confidence in the peace negotiations
with Spain except as they were backed
up by the determination of this govern
ment to enforce all its demands and be
ready to do this by resuming hostilitics
on short notice.
No Confidence In Spain.
The presidents experience in seeking
to settle the controversy with Spain
without resorting to war has not given
him nor his advisers much confidence in
Spain when diplomacy is the method If
reaching a settlement. Spain is mas
ter of that kind of diplomacy which
means delay, and. while she sought
terms OF peace when her fleets were de-
stroyed and her army at Santiago sur
rendered, she has done nothing as yet
to prepare sor the contamination of her
promises.
There has been no preparation made

are indications that the Spanish COM
missioners in Cuba will attempt to drag
in many other questions besides the
plain and simple one of evacuation. The
American commissioners in Cuba have
been instructed to hold to this as the on
ly question for settlement there and
leave all other questions to the peace
commissioners in Paris.
The president has the best of reasons
in the action of the cortes for doubling
his ability 20 secure a final peace with
out at least being ready to resume hostil-
tiles. He has therefore impressed upon
his importunate callers that he can not
muster out all of the volunteer army,
but must keep sufficient number of
troops in readiness to enforce his de-
mands. He must be ready to throw a
large body of troops into Cuba again at
short notice and he must be ready to
send endorsements to the Philippines
to show Spain that he is just as deter
mined now TO have prompt and def

JIM HILL TAKES A NEW ROAD
Has Put the baltimore & Ohio Into
His Collection.

Chicago, Sept. l9.-The Times Herald
says:
Philip d. Armour. Marshall Field and
Norman B. Ream have secured control of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad They
have made James j. Hill. president Of
the Great Northern railroad, the domi-
mating factor in the reorganization of
the system and have gained for Chicago
and the northwest what is practically
a trunk line from ocean to ocean, con-
trolled by Chicago capital.
Mr.. Ream engineered the deal by
which his wealth, that of Mr.. Hill and
OF Messrs. Armour and Field gained a
controlling interest in the Baltimore &
Ohio, which henceforth is to be Chi
cago enterprise, fed and sustained in
transcontinental affairs by the immense
mileage of the Great Northern railroad.
If any road completes the gap between
the terminus of the Great Northern rail-
road in st. Paul and the terminus of the
Baltimore & Ohio in Chicago, it will be
the Chicago Great Western road, but
that is a matter for the future.
Mr.. Ream will become member of
.ne executive committee of the reorgan-
lied road and either Mr.. Field or Mr.. Ar
mour may become a director, although in
all probability the trio will be represent
ed by Mr.. keam.
Mr.. Hills connection with the transac-
ton foreshadows the statement that he
will be the prime factor of the road.
While the price paid by the Chicago
men is not known the details of the
transfer of the properties of the road are
being discussed at conference held in
the Auditorium annex. At this confer
ence President Hill, Mr.. Ream, John X.
Cowen, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, and Oscar Murray, receiver, and
William Greene. general manager of the
road, were present.
Mr.. Ream declined to be interviewed,
but one of the Baltimore & Ohio officials
confirmed the report current in Wall
street Thursday and in Chicago railroad
circles that in addition to the holdings
of the road which the Rockefeflers' inter-
ests are reported to have secured last
week for western hackers of the road,
Messrs. Field, Armour and Ream had Sc
cured sufficient reorganization stock to
make Chicago and the west the dominant
element in the future management of
the road.
President Cowen was not prepared to
make full statement until after he had
consulted with MIR. Ream.
President Hill was in jubilant frame
of mind and would not deny that Field,
Armour and Ream had assisted him in
almost realizing his dream Of having a
road from the Pacific to the Atlantic
controlled by western men.

Fear an Eruption.

Naples, Sept. ia state of gloomy
apprehension prevails among the popula-
ton regarding the eruption of Vesuvius,
which is hourly becoming more active
and menacing. Streams of lava are
spreading in every direction. The most
threatening of these flows through the
vedrino valley, which is almost filed.
The observatory, which originally stood
at height of 6l0 metres, is now only
II metres above the sea level, owing to
the sinking OF the ground. Seven new
craters have formed around the central
one, and this has not tended to diminish
the fears formerly felt which were based
upon the eruption Of stones and scoria
similar to that which occurred in 1892.

mite acceptance Of his terms Of peace as
he was when he went to war.
Terms of Peace.

ne was When ne went TO war.
Terms of Peace.
The terms Of peace have been laid
down, and they are explicit as to Cuba
and Puerto Rico. There is only one
question that is not definite about the
Philippines, and that is as to just what
part of the islands this government pro-
poses to place under the American flag.
That is to be the purpose of the peace
commissioners. They are to say wheth-
er Spain shall release all or only a part of
the islands. But this question must
be settled apart from the Cuban ques-
ton. The evacuation of Cuba will not
be allowed TO have any bearing upon the
Philippines, though it is apparent that
the Spaniards are again trying to get
round to that old diplomatic position
of surrendering Cuba and retaining a
large part OF the Philippines.
Must he Ready to Fight.
The president has told some of his con-
gressional callers in the last few days
that with such condition and with the
uncertainty Of the Spanish character, he
is not justified in assuming that the war
is over and mastering out the volun-
teers He has stated to some Of these
callers just what General Wheeler stated
in public interview, that the war is
not over, but is likely to be resumed in
few months unless the Spanish politi-
clans show better disposition toward
permanent peace by providing for the re-
lease of territory as agreed upon in the
terms of peace.
At least one of the peace commission
ers shares this suspicion and doubts the
ability of the two commissions to agree
upon any proposition concerning the
Philippines. The American commission
ers will insist upon retaining at least the
island of Luzon. if not the whole group,
and the Spanish commissioners will not
dare, in the present state of public
opinion in Spain, to agree to either of
these propositions. 1t is therefore fear
ed that the negotiations of the peace
commissioners will be long drawn out
and finally come to naught unless the
president stands ready to break off the
negotiations and resume hostilities.
This is the reason why President Nc
Kinley does not intend to muster out the
whole volunteer army. He has no de-
sire to resume the war and renew the
sacrifices of blood and treasure, but he
intends to have peace, definite and final,
within few months if he has to fight
for it and again order the army and the
navy into active service. The volun-
teers who are complaining that they do
not want garrison duty may find that
they will have something more exciting
in the literal expulsion of the Spanish
troops from Cuba and Puerto Rico, or
even the invasion of Spain to enforce the
old rule Of debating peace in the capital
of the enemy.

In Ninety Days the United States En- lists and Equips ovor Quarter of
 a Million Volunteer Troops.

Washington, July 27-Adjutant Gen. eral Gorbin has made public statement of the progress made in the organiza- tion of the volunteer armies of the United States up to and including July 24. In the 60 days which have elapsed since the president issued his first call for volunteers an army of 261, 400 men has been recruited mustered, equipped and placed i'll the field, an achievement that has ellcited surprise aud admira- tion from the best informed military authorities of Europe The personnel of the army is far superior to that of any body of men hitherto raised for military purposes by the United States. Every man recruited, whether for the regular or for the volunteer army, has under gone a careful physical examination conducted by disinterested and compe- tent officers.
 Of the 216, 300 volunteers authorized by congress, 212, ,000 have been placed in the field, nearly all Of them fully equip ped. In q few days the entire volunteer army will be thoroughly organized into regiments. brigades, divisions and army corps. The aptitude for military dis cipline, which the volunteers have evinced has created surprise among the representatives of foreign governments with the United States army. They argue that Americans are the finest sol diers i'll the world.

 ing to the Popuiace.

New York, July 27-A dispatch to The Tribune from Paris says.
 ae castiTon severity Of the Spaais:s. censorship prevents the exact situation at Madrid from being disclosed except through private channels. Any news. paper correspondent at Madrid suspected or even hinting at the true state of af. 1alrs now known to prevail there would be imprisoned or expelled. Under these circumstances grave importance attaches to a Madrid letter of Saturdays date, re. ceived here by a French diplomatist well known on both sides of the Atlan- tic, The Tribune correspondent is only authorized to cable the following sum. mary of it's contents:
 The situation is far moro critical than atany previous time since the war be- gan. On the surface, the habitual in- difference of all classes of the people to the national disaster seems to continue. The slightest incident may at any mo. ment precipitate crisis and plunge the country intorevolutien.
 "Sagasta is now poweriess either to carry on the war effectively or to con clude peace. The question of the war is thrown in the background by the ur- gency of dynasty reconsiderations and by measures to avert q military pronun- ciament, backed by populur uprising. The revolution has momentarily re- strained the Carlists in the northern provinces, but has forced Sagasta to put his whole trust. in the leaders of the army.
 The generals are now absolute masters at Madrid and are likely to cast aside Sagasta as they have no further use for him. The artillery is the most demo- cratic as well as the most efficient branch of the military service and has always been early in taking an active part in any republican movement to oyerturn 8 dynasty. The entire mili- tary force of the garrison at Madrid is openly hostile to the government and if ordered to fire on the people would certainly refuse to do so, and would fraternize with the insur- gents. Several infantry regiments, when the emergency arises, are also ready to follow the example of the dr. tillery.
 1.-The dissatisfaction of the army in creases day by day. Officers of every grade accuse the ministry of ineapacity in conducting the war and charge them above all with criminal neglect in fail ing to supply the Santiago force with food and ammunition.
 Not a day passes without the empe- TOT of Austria is exerting his strong, personal influence with the queen re- gent urging her to make peace at once, no matter what sacrifice.
