ZEURLINDEN IS
 MINISTER OF WAR Steps Into Shoes of M. Cavaig-
 mac, Resigned. CABINET CRISIS IMMINENT Will Study Dreyfus Case Carefully Be- fore He Discusses It With Cabinet Madame Dreyfus Appeals
 to Minister of Justice.
CABINET CRISIS IMMINENT.

Paris, September 5.-Interviews with the premier, M. Henri Brisson, and the late minister of war, M. Godefrey Cavaignac, on the subject of the political situation in France as it has been effected by the re- cent developments in the Dreyfus case are printed today in the Echo de Paris
 M. Brisson is reported as having said that all the members of the ministry are con- vinced of the guilt of Capt. Dreyfus, but that the government must consider the change that has come over public opinion since the suicide last week of Col. Henry. M. Brisson expressed the view that it is the duty of the government to end the ex- citement which is now paralyzing the busi- ness interests of Paris and the country.
 M. Cavaignac in the course of the inter- view printed in the Echo de Paris said that it would be serious mistake, if not supreme act of folly on the part of the government, to persist in it's present course, and that he was not willing to participate in-such a policy. "You will see,' said M Cavaignac, fin what a condi- tion the country will be after new trial"
 The newspapers of Paris point out that M Cavafgnac's resignation of the war portfolio has produced a painful impression in political circles, which, while recognz- ing the fact that the innocence of Capt Dreyfus has not yet been disproved, that a new trial against the accused at Devils Island has become necessary.
 It is said in some well-informed quarters that the premier, M. Brisson, will assume the war portfolio, relinquishing that of the interior, which he now holds, in addition to the presidency of the court, to M. Valle. In other equally well-informed circles it is said that General Zeurlinden who was member of the Ribot cabinet, has accepted the ministry of war.
 General Zeurlinden's decision to accept the war portfolio was communicated to President Faure after the cabinet meeting. After long conference with the minister of the interior M. Brisson and the minister of justice, M. Sarrien, General zeurlinden was interviewed by newspaper reporter. The minister of justice, the general said. asked for the Dreyfus dossiers. When these were given him he added he would study Inc documents and inform himself thoroughly regarding the case before discussing 1t with the cabinet. |
 When the cabino met today the minister of justice, M. Ferdinand Sarrien, informed his colleagues of the receipt of Madame Dreyfus' request for a revision of the ver- dict against her husband. M. Sarrien prom ised to give statement of the result of his into the matter at a meeting of the cabinet to be convened after the mib- ister of war shall have been appointed.

LABOR TROUBLES IN MANILA.
Strike Caused Suspension of Tramways
 for Three Days.

Manila, September 5.-There have been several labor strikes here. the demand be- ing for excessive wages. Because the American authorities in the early exigencies of the situation here agreed to the extrav- agant demands of laborers, 1t has been diff ficult to return to an equitable basis One of these strikes caused the suspension or traffic on the tramways of Manila for three days
 Copies of the new tariff have been cir culated here, but 1t has not been enforced pending the receipt of instructions from Washington. It is estimated that under the American tariff there will be an average reduction of one-third as compared with that of Spain.
 An insurgent newspaper printed in the Spanish language appeared here Tuesday.

To Reorganize State Militia.

Gov. Josiah Grout was in Burlington
Tuesday and is reported to have said
that the Vermont regiment, which is to
return at once from Chickamauga park.
would pc mustered out in few days
after its arrival. The national guard
will be reOrganized the governor said,
and made the following statement: The
LIST regiment, Vermont national guard,
though giving up its name and position
for the time being when it volunteered
for service In the United States army,
will upon its return constitute and be
reinstalled as the LIST regiment, Vermont
national guard. When mustered out,
the various companies of the regiment
will resume their former positions In
the national guard of Vermont, but on a
somewhat different basis. 1t is pro-
posed to discontinue the battery and to
allow its members to form a company of
Infantry. The discharge of the battery
will make possible the formation of
three other additional companies and an
organization of the command with two
regiments of eight companies each. The
company succeeding the battery will be
! located in Brattleboro; another of the
new companies will be organized in
Randolph, and the other two in Windsor
and Addison counties, which at present
are not represented in the national
guard. The new arrangement will give
all of the counties in the state, except
Essex, Grand Isle and Lamoille, COM
panies in the national guard of Vermont,
and will undoubtedly conduce to greater
efficiency, owing to advantages in drill
to be derived from the formation of the
command, and two regiments and four

as the money interest, and which in our
national politics is particularly repre-
sented by the CLEVELAND democracy, was
decidedly opposed to any change. The
impossibility of this interest remaining
dominant in American politics is illus
trated by the result, and will be illus
trated further in the future, if they do
not yield sufficiently in the question of
national finances to allow an American
system of finance to prevail, which will
give to all, rather than to few, the OPP
portunity of comfortable support.
The Republicans of the country, and
especially those of Vermont and New
England, must watch carefully that they
be not deceived or misled in this contest,
but In business as in war, at all times
and in all places, insist upon the Ameri-
can policy of a sufficient currency to
meet the wants and necessities of the
great body of the people.

At last definite answer has been
secured from Turkey on the subject of
paying damages for the destruction of
American property at the time of the
Armenian massacres. The sultan de-
clines to pay any damages, disavowing
all responsibility. Which means Turkey
declares that the property of foreigners
under her jurisdiction is there at its
own risk-a decidedly new construction
of international treaty rights. Perhaps
the holding of review of our war ships
of the mouth of the Hellespont might
occasion a revision of these views on the
proper Interpretation of our treaty.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.


The butter market is very tame, and there
has hardly been enough trade in a whole
sale way the past two days to establish
values. fairly STEADY tone has been main
tanned, and the only change to note is that II
takes higher grade to bring extreme prices
than last week. Buyers have fallen back to
a considerable extent on the cold storage
stock, which is coming out in first class con
ditiOn, and can be used instead of the best
fresh now arriving. This is the main cause
of the inaction at present, and II may have
its influence on the market for a week or two
more.

more than jobbing business. AS the mar

a country shipper to count on getting more

PEACE.

1t is with sincere qualification that the
American people see the signs of return
ing peace. And this qualification is COM
plete, because it appears that we will
accomplish everything that we hoped to
accomplish from the war. In few words
this means the entire cessation of Span
ish rule in the Western hemisphere, and
the practical transformation of all her
American territory to the United States.
And this result means the continued and
natural advance of American rule, and,
in that respect, is precisely what the
REGISTER has ADVOCATED with great per
tinacity for several years, although it
has seemed to us, and we still think,
that the same result might have been
reached by wise diplomacy; that is, by
our wits and perhaps 100000, 900 instead
of by war, that will cost two to four
times this amount, and large number of
American as well as other lives. But
the result, which was both inevitable
and important, has been gained both
quickly and thoroughly by war.
1t will be remembered that, as usual in
all such matters Of advancement for the
general welfare, that interest engaged
particularly in the management or accu-
mutation of large properties, and known

MORE ABOUT RAILROADS.

We elsewhere published a communica-
ton from travelling man on the sub
ect of railroad mileage and "scalpers."
We think Commercial" has not read
the Rutland Herald in the proper spirit,
for certainly that paper is not entitled TO
the strong language used in its condemn
alton by the correspondent. The
Herald is simply and naturally a little
biased, but it has told a good many
things worth knowing on this subject,
and it has our thanks therefor.
"Commercial" is right in calling at.
tentlon to the fatal flaws in the Herald's
reasoning. We trust our contemporary
does not desire to convey the impression
that theft is so common among railway
conductors as to necessitate concerted
action on the part of railway corporations
and the bringing into play of national
forces in congress. Theft of so great
an extent as that would needs border on
the calamitious. We do not recall any
millionaire conductors; while it appears
that in spite of the enormous populations
of that class, the poor railway presidents
and other officers who suffer the loss
manage to struggle along and add to
their wealth.
Again the Herald trips up on the
subject of passes. 1t says that scalpers
deal largely in them, while "Commercial'
says he never had a pass offered to him
during a somewhat extensive experience
with brokers. Does the Herald wish us
to understand that passes are issued
in large numbers in spite of the inter-
state commerce law?
1t is possible that the Rutland road
may redeem some of the transportation
it issues, but we do not think the conces-
sion is general. If we are in error in
this, it is a peculiar circumstance that
the railway lobbyists who were in
Washington in the interests of the anti
scalping bill should have placed SO
much stress on the clause providing
that after the passage of the bill rail-
roads should redeem their tickets on pre-
sentation.
But after all that can be said in defense
of the railways in this matter, there re-
mains the fact that these corporations
almost uniformly badger and worry
their patrons through conductors where
ever there is the slightest suspicion
given of the source of the transportation
offered.
The fight in Vermont has nothing tC
do with "scalpers" directly. The com
plant that is constantly appearing in the
state press is occasioned by the treat
ment received by railway patrons alone
The ticket brokers are not heard in the
matter; they can and do take care OF
themselves. 1t is the helpless travelling
public that must bear the punishment
and they object.
