REHEARINa CERTAIN
May Be Preceded by the Release Of
Dreyfus


PARIS, Sept 6.-The Figaro says today
that General Saussier refused to accept the
war portfolio because he had been con-
nected, as military governor of Paris. with
the Dreyfus case, and he therefore con-
sidered that he should leave to another the
settlement of this matter. The newspapers
confirm the report that the acceptance OF
the office by General Zurlinden. military
governor Of Paris, was due to President
Faure's insistence. Some Of the papers
praise his acceptance Of the office under the
existing difficulties of the situation, and at
tack M. Cavaignac, the later minister Of
war, declaring that his action In resdgning
was uselss and illogical.
The newspapers regard the revision OF
the Dreyfus case as being assured, saying
that the prisoners counsel will now make
strenuous efforts to secure public re-
trial.
The Matin says that Colonel Picquart yes
terday signed demand for the provisional
liberation Of Dreyfus. ,
General Borin has been appointed acting
military governor Of Paris, in succession
to General Zurlinden, who has accepted the
portfolio Of minister Of war. rt'tt-
The government denies the rumors OF the
death of Dreyfus. and the fact that NJ
Taure has left the capital is regarded as
! indicating that matters will be quiet for
time.

AN ENGLISH ADVANCE
Commerce to Be Opened With Interio
Africa

LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch from
Khartoum announcing that five British
gunboats have pushed UP the White Nile
is regarded as highly significant.
The Sirdar telegraphed on Saturday that
the condition of the bank Of the Nile made
1t impossible to utilize the gunboats in
the pursuit Of KhaNfa AbdMllah, who had
fed toward, Kordofan. The only inference,
therefore, is that the gunboats have now
gone to join hands with Major Macdonald,
who is now on his way northward from
Uganda, an operation which has long been
contemplated by the government.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor
of the exchequer, announced In parliament

ing put forth by the operators to have the
governor send in troops. Deputies have
