ENGLISH OPINION.

English opinion of the Dreyfus case Is undivided. It hears that the honor of the French army has been sacrificed in a base conspiracy, not to prevent the outbreak with Germany, but merely to screen the offense of individual off, cers of great influence. The duke of Connaught exchanged compliments with President Faure, and spoke with becoming tact, but the reputation of the French army cannot be restored in England until Dreyfus has been fairly tried.-From a Paris Cable Let ter.

The Philippine Question.

Last Monday the American COM
missioners presented a written ex-
preston of the United States to
take the entire group of the Philip
pine Islands and to assume such
portion of the Philippine debt as
has been spent for the benefit of
the islands or their inhabitants in
public works, improvements and
permanent betterments.
1t was also set forth that the
United States would not assume
any part of the Philippine debt
which had been incurred by the
Spanish government for the futher-
ance Of military or naval operations
to quell instructions of the natives.
The session was adjourned until
Friday in order to give the Span
iards time to prepare a reply.
The feeling at Washington is
that Spain will refuse to yield to
the demand of the Uuited States,
and there is reason to fear that the
peace negotiations will be abruptly
broken off. This will probably
result in the re-openlng of the war
and the settlement of the Philip
pine question by force instead of

SOUND DOCTRINE.

At the Quarantine Conference,
in New Orleans, last Tuesday even
ing. Dr.. Souchon presented an able
paper giving his views on the SUBJ
ject. From. a careful perusal
of the same, we infer that
he believes in the creation of
education by demonstration, and
regulation Of sanitation, rather than
Legislation by the nation. but is in
favor of the location Of a Federal
inspector at each maritime quar-
antine station, to enforce isolation,
and prevent any violation Of the
health stipulation by foreign i'm
migration.

To Raise the Maine.

The Acme Wrecking Company,
Of San Francisco, has made . re-
quest upon the navy department for
authority TO raise the battle-ship
Maine. The company has had ex-
perience in raising vessels on the
Pacific coast ana representations
have been made to the department:
as to its ability to accomplish the
task. It proposes to blow out
the mud from under the wreck by
means Of water and then to pass
under chains and attach them TO
framework connected with system
OF steel barrels. These barrels will
also be placed In the wreck and utl-
lized wherever they can be made
available. The company simply
asks authority to raise the Maine
and bring her to this country. II
the government wants The ship after
she reaches tile United States the
company will want to be paid sal
wage money through condemnation
proceedings. 1t is probable, in
case the government. did not want
the ship, the company would exhibit
her in different large seacoast cities
OF the United States. No money
is demanded from the government
by the company. It is stated at the
department. unotilcially, that in case
the company is found reliable the
authority asked will no doubt be
given.

The carbon obtained BY burning
sawdust is claimed to be purer than
coke, and consequently is available
for the manufacture Of calcium
carbide. As sawdust is produced
without any expense at every lum-
Der mill, it is only necessary to
erect retort in which it may under
go combustion to obtain carbon in
this form. A lumber yard near
Ottawa, Canada, has already in
stalled such apparatus. and COM
