When the full and complete story of

Paris, Sept. THE engrossing subject
Of conversation to-day in. Paris is Drey-
fus, the martyr. Not even the famous
note of the czar of all the Russias, call
ing for the armed multitudes OF Europe
to disband, has been able to secure
more thar second place in the estima-
ton of the Frenchmen as a topic Of ami
mated discussion in cafe and on boule-
ward. One yer hears il asserted that
this Dreyfus iasco is likely to cause
such a fierce and growing wave Of in
dignation to sweep over France that
the republic will be engulfed and the
world treated to another of these spec
tacular changes for which this country
is famous
Three notes of the general discussion
stand out amid the clatter of tongues.
First, that Dreyfus must have a new
trial; second. that of all women the de-
voted wife of the unfortunate exile is
the most to be admired: thirdly, that
