THE DREYFus CASE.
The Court of Appeals Now Has 1t Unde,
Advlsement.

Paris. Oct 27.-The Court of Cassa
ton, which is to decide upon the ques.
ton of reopening the case of Alfred
Dreyfus, the prisoner of DEVILS island
who is alleged to have been falsely
convicted of selling important military
plans to agents of n foreign power
opened at noon to-day.
The belief is general tonight that
the Court of Cessation will pronounce
neither for revision nor annulment of
the decision in the Dreyfus case, as
either course would entail awkward
consequences.
To avoid the contingencies it is en-
pected the court will decide that as the
affair now presents itself there has been
no treason, and that, therefore, the con.
demnation pronounced upon Dreyfus
by the court-martal cannot be upheld.
The Courier du SOir says that the
revelations in the report of NJ. Bard
before the Court of Cessation as to the
part played by some members of the
general staff have produced a strong
effect in military circles and are like
ly to result in reaction tending to put
an end to the antagonism between the
civil and military authorities"

HAWAII ALREADY CROWDED.
Letter from Hawaiian knights Of PythiasNarn.
ing American Brethren.

\ A circular letter was received re-
Gently by Colonel Z. c. Harrington,
who is one of the leading members in
the Knights of Pythias in Maine, that
is somewhat out Of the ordinary run.
1t is a letter from a committee of the
two lodges in Honolulu, warning the
brother Knights in this country not to
come to that place with the hopes of
getting work, as it is already crowded.
The letter which is headed "A Warn
ing From Honolulu" contains the
following:
Hen olulu, H. l., August %, 1898.
To AlEPythian Brethren, Greeting:
The annexation of these islands by
the United States has caused many of
brethren to project attempts to better
their condition or to find employment
in what they consider a new country.
Such we consider it our duty to warn
and to speak to in plain terms.
The social and business communities
of these islands We're old and we'll
established before the rush to Cali
fornia.
This ds in no sense a new country.
The only opportunity here is for the
man of large capital.
There is no employment here for
mechanics of any kind or for unskilled
labor. Many men of ability, of good
habits and first-class recommendations
are now here practically stranded.
There were idle men in Honolulu be-
fore the American flag replaced the
Hawaiian flag.
All lines of small business are fully
filled and in most cases Over-crOwded.
Do not come here unless you have
the assurance in advance Of steady
employment or have the capital to en-
gage in land development enterprises
requiring large means.
We spread this positive advice be-
cause we wish to save brethren disap-
pointment and distress. We state the
facts, as in more than honor bound
and trust sincerely that this circular
will accomplish its mission.

discontinued on all sides and that is
the apparent feeling that exists among
the two branches of the service. The
men Of the 1st Regiment and the bat
terry members get along as rule with
nothing but little chatting so long as
they keep sober. but as soon as one Of
them puts little red liquor into his
system, he begins to look about for
member of the other body of men from
the enc to which he belongs, and to
look for trouble. "A little encounter
took place on Water street, Wednes-
day, where a member Of the LIST Regi-
ment. who was intoxicated picked a
quarrel with battery man. The lat
ter simply would not fight and ran
about with the infantryman chasing
him, calling him tin soldier, clam
digger and all sorts Of names. Other
cases have been known to occur where
the man abused did not run. Such ac-
ton only lower the men in the estima-
ton of the people. Certainly the bat
terry men are not at all to blame be-
cause they were not sent to the South,
and should not be twitted of it, any
more than the LIST Regiment should in
turn be twitted of not having chance
to go to Cuba. Both would have gone
had they had the chance, and so they
are quits on that score.
Remember boys, you are all fighting,
or would fight, for the same flag, and
you will see trouble enough, without
quarreling among yourselves.
