France TALKS MORE WAR
SAYS SPAIN WILL YET RESIST.
An Absurd Statement by Some in
named Frenchman-What France
Thinks and Does LIS of No Inter-
national Importance.

Paris, Sept. 27.-While the reception
accorded the United States peace commits
sion here is ali that could be desired and
while the French foreign office has taken
great pains to treat the American and
Spanish commissioners IN precisely the
same manner, it must be admitted that
the general atmosphere of Paris, especi-
ally the diplomatic atmosphere, does not
incline towards America.
1t is the general impression here that
the American commissioners have instruc-
tions to provide for the retention of Ma
Mia and the island of Luzon, "and for
such a commission to pretend to negotiate
is farce" said a prominent diplomat.
He continued:
america will put herself diplomatic
ally in the wrong when she exceeds the
provisions of the protocol which both ma
tions signed. / know the Spaniards have
come prepared to make concessions, but
if the Americans instructions are of an
uncompromising nature, which is gener-
ally believed here to be the case, you can
rest assured that the work of the commits
sion will be futile. The Spaniards will
retire and America will at least have to
threaten the resumption of hostilities be-
fore she will gain her point"
The French newspapers, beyond an
nouncing the arrival of the commission
ers, make no comment upon the matter.

A MEN TRIAL FOR DREYFUS
CHARGES OF BRIBERY MADE.
Revision of the Dreyfus Case Is De-
cided Upon by the Cabinet-Morc
Lying by Esterhazy-Rochefo Effort
Makes Charges Against Ester
bazy.

Paris, Sept. 26.-At a meeting of the
cabinet this morning, all the ministers
being present, decision was taken in
favor of revision of the trial OF former
Captain Dreyfus, and the documents in
this case will be sent to the court of cas-
sation.
Crowds of people outside the ministry
of the interior, where the cabinet coun-
ell was held, loudly cheered the minis
tiers.
The cabinet ordered Minister of JUS
tice Sarrien to lay before the court of
cassat ton the petition of Madame Dreyfus
for the revision of her husbands case.
This court, therefore, will decide the le-
gal question as to whether the first trial
of Dreyfus was vitiated by the forgery
committed by the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry.
The minister of justice has given in
structions that proceedings are to be
taken Immediately against any one at
lacking the army.
In the Intransigeant today Henri Ro-
chefort accuses Major Esterhazy ofhaving
been bribed by the so-called Dreyfus syn
dictate to "cover himself with dishonor
by confessing to a forgery, of which
charge he was twice acquitted"
Rochefort adds that he paid Esterhazy
1000 francs for copies of all the docu-
ments in the case and in addition, with
two other newspaper men, he paid Ester
hazy, who was without funds, 300 francs
monthly to prevent him dying of hunger
while waiting to obtain a pension. Con-
tinuing, Rochefort says:
Recently, without any apparent in
centive, Esterhazy mysteriously went 20
London, abandoning 800 francs monthly.
Why this emigration? Who paid for this
journey? With what money has Ester
hazy paid for his meals?'
NJ. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, re-
marks:

IDAHO GETS A BUILDING.
Also Receives the Weather Bureau
Service Mt Boise.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Shoup's
stay in Washington during the last two
weeks has been productive of several
good results for individuals and enter
prises in the state of Idaho. First of all
he came to Washington TO learn the rea-
son for the delay in the construction of
the public building at Boise. The sena-
tor was assured before he left here last
July that the work on the public building
would be commenced on an early date.
When he returned here he found that
practically no progress had been made.
In fact the supervising architects office
had about decided to let the work go
over until next spring, claiming that the
weather conditions in Idaho were sucn
that no material advantage could be
gained by beginning the work in this fall
Senator ShOup appealed at once to the
secretary of the treasury and had no diff
Guilty in convincing him that the weather
in Boise in the winter would not in any
way interfere with the construction of
the building. The secretary at once di-
rected the plans for the building to be ex-
pedited in the architects office and alse
ordered the preparation of advertisements
to be at once issued for the various de-
tails of the construction.
Weather Bureau Service.
Senator Shoup has also been laboring
for several years to secure the establish
ment of a weather bureau at Boise, a
oapo,,,l b,,raa,, fo,. tba s+o+a of T1obo IL
was not until this year that he was sue
cessful in having a sufficient appropriation
made for that purpose. The secretary OF
agriculture assured the senator last July
that the bureau would be promptly es
tablished, but owing to the extension Of
the bureau service in the West Indies, il
has been delayed. The senator had a con
ference with Chief Moore to learn when
the service for the state of Idaho could
be established and received assurance:
that it would be done about the first o.
October
The office which will be opened in Idaho
will be state headquarters and of the first
grade, having fine complement of instru
ments which are now being prepared
therefor. To prevent great rush of ap
plicants for positions in the weather bu
reau office at Boise, it may be stated her,
that all the employees will be under the
classified civil service, and will therefore
be selected from those skilled in tn,
weather bureau work in other cities. But
one exception to this is the position o
messenger in the office, which Senator
Shoup has already secured for Charles
c. Garrett of Boise.

Yhe Partisan Cabby.

The Paris cabby is not merely an In
stitution, he is a social treasure. He
can be as drunk as a lord, as witty as
the boulevardier, the worst scamp in
Christendom, and in all capacities he
is the strangers best guide, philos-
opher and friend. Get on the right side
of cabby and he'll tell his passenger
anything from state secret to the
latest Partisan scandal. AS a cicerone
he is invaluable, because, having a
fund of fairy tales" at command, he
is never at loss to answer any ques-
tior the stranger asks. The other day
fiacre stopped In front of the Column

his head out of the door to inquire of
his jehu what the column might be.

The "stupid boy" Championed.

The Stupid boy" who has long
posed upon the ounces block, serving
to point a moral and adorn tale for
other little boys to jeer at, has at last
found a kindly champion. She says
ut is we'll to remember that boy is
not necessarily stupid because he is
pronounced stupid. He may be stupid
ly judged. The fire of intellect may
kindle slowly; it may be smouldering
under a heap Of ashes, hopelessly sup
pressed. Genius does not always shoot
up like skyrocket. 1t may come like
the rising of the sun to meridian splen-
dor-slowly and steadily. Moreover, a
stupid judgment of boy is damaging
to him. To call him a blockhead, d
Ounce, an idiot, is unwise, as we'll as
unkind.
Give the stupid boy chance, and
it will be known ere long whether he is
really or only apparently stupid"
AS an example of this the case of
Isaac Barrow is given. When he was a
boy his father considered him so stupid
that he used to say if it pleased God to
take from him any of his children he
hoped it would be Isaac. Yet Isaac
was not taken. He grew, instead, to be
one of the greatest preachers of Eng
land. a professor in the University of
Cambridge and teacher of Sir Isaac
Newton.

Woman on II War Vessel.

There is one instance, and one only,
the friend and ally OF Alexander, con-
celning whose naval prowess Herodo-
tus tells such wonderful stories, of a
woman who lEas fought on board a
man n-of-war
She was the wife of one of the gum
ners on Admiral Rodney's flagship and
piled the trade of bumboat woman.
1t was during the war between
France and England and their colonies,
which in American history is known
as the French and Indian war, and
Rodney had charge of the fleet in de-
fense of the English Channel.
During a hot engagement the Ad-
miral noticed, to his great astonish-
ment, that woman was serving one Of
the guns and doing it we'll.
The fight was too severe to interfere
at the moment, SO that, the story goes,
in spite of the hagrant breach of dis
c;pline the Admiral let her alone.
When the enemy had struck his col
ors he went to the woman and demand
ed
What are you doing here?"
Fighting the French, your honor.
Ny husband is wounded and down in
the cockpit, and so | took his place.
And why not, your honor? Do you
think I'm afraid OF the French?"
She was reprimanded very gently and
sent ashore with ten guineas as re-
ward for her bravery
