THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. i, 1898

UNPLEASANT, BUT not unexpected,
rumors are current, to the effect that
the President is opposed to public IN
yestigation of the conduct of the war,
lest the result thereof be damaging to
fhe men to whom the management OF
the war was entrusted, and necessarily
TO his own administration. Mr.. Mckialey
should know thatattempts to conceal de-
ljnouencies are more damaging than the
faults themselves, aud that man seek
ing reelection, for his own sake, let
alone that of the country, should hew

THE DREYFUS CASE.

Colonel Henry, who was arrested in
Paris and confessed forgery of one of
the letters which led to the conviction
of Captain Dreyfus, has committed sui
eide. 1t seems probable that the Drey-
fus case will be reopened. Captain
Dreyfus, it will be remembered, was an
officer in the French army who was
convicted of betrayiDg military secrets
to foreign government. He was sen.
fenced to soil airy Imprisonment for life
on Devil's Island, small strip of land
off the coast Of French Guiana, where
be now is.
Gen. Lemouton de Boisdeffre, chief
OF the general staff of the French army,
has presented his resignation to the
government. In his letter of resigna.
ton he says he resigns owing to his
misplaced confidence in Colonel Henry,
which led him to pronounce genuine
what was forged evidence against
Dreyfus.
Dreyfus, it is now believed, was con.
victed on the basis of secret letter
which was forged by Colonel Henry.
NJ. Cavaignac is said to be Frustrated
by this discovery. A great stir has
been created in the French capital.
Henry's confession, it is believed, will
exonerate Dreyfus, lola and others.

A CARD.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In the Gazette of August 81 under
the head of "a Destructive Fire" you
state that by some misunderstanding
those in charge of one of the engines
became confused and as on some other
occasions ran away from the fire in
stead of going to it, as the engineer
in charge of the engine that went
wrong [ feel that you have done me an
Injustice, also my company. As there
was no misunderstanding in the alarm
and no confusion. The alarm as it came
to the engine house was very plain
and could not have been mistaken, as l
myself and the three foremen of my
company were standing in the engine
house at the time and all four of Us
took the alarm alike. The alarm was
for the Third district and l gave my
driver orders to go to the Third district,
which he did. On reaching that dis
trict we were informed that the fire
was in the First district, therefore the
blame does not belong to us

had "pulls" upon the administration.

An OincInl Statement.

QUEBEC. oct. S.-The International
commissioners are preparing to leave
Quebec as quickly as possible, and IL is
doubtful If a majority of the commits
sion is present at the meeting to be
held Monday.
For several days II has been rumored
that Senator Fairbanks and Lord Hers
chell would give out an official state
ment Jointly at the close Of the session
here, and this statement has been look
ed for by the press representatives with
great eagerness. Last evening it came.
The statement is as follows:
"The high commission has made. con-
siderable progress with its work, but It
has been found necessary to obtain fur
ther information on certain points
which Is not Immediately available. The
commission will adjourn on Monday,
oct 10, until Tuesday. Nov. /. 1t has
been agreed that the next meeting shall
be held at Washington"
The commissioners positively decline
to make any further statement con-
cerning any feature of the commission
work. Several of the Canadian news
papers today print the statement as
coming from official sources that the
Bering sea pelagie sealing question has
been settled. 1t will be stated that the
United States government VIII pur-
chase the ships and equipment of the
Canadian seal fishers on condition that
all British rights 20 Berng sea be sur
rendered and that two appraisers, one
from the United States and one fron
Canada. have been named to fix price
upon the property. No official verifca-
tion. of this statement can be obtained
from the United States commissioners.
