COOPERATIVE INSURANCE.

We now have over 5000 worth of
property liable to destruction by fire
Such loss would seriously cripple our
work. In a few weeks we will have a
system of waterworks affording much
protection. At present we have no
protection at all. Hence we call on
each OF our more than 1900 members
to subscribe for as many of the 81 shares
OF insurance fund as he can nav on
short notice. No money is to be paid
in; but in case of fire each will be called
on In proportion to the amount of his
subscription. Send in your letters at
once, stating how much you will take.
we don't want TO pay extortionate
rates to the old-line companies. and so
ask our own members to carry this risk
on their own future homes. There will
thus be no expense at all, except in case
OF loss, and then merely enough money
TO replace. N. w. LERMoND, Sec.

Payls. Sept. a-Tho report put IN
circulation by news agency that a
revision Of the Dreyfus case had been
decided upon appears to be premature.
u is now pointed out that a revision
must be sanctioned by a cabinet coun-
ell under the presidency OF NJ. Faure.
No such council has been had as
yet. but NJ. Cayalgnac, the minister OF
war. conferred at great length ycster-
day with NJ sarien, the minister oi
Justice, and NJ. Brlsson. president OF
the council and minister Of the inte-
rlor. The presumption Is that these
conferences had to do with the propo-
sal OF a revision but tho results have
not been made public.
Great excitement prevails. II Is
thought here that Great Britain and
Russia are on the eve OF war. and tho
Dreyfus scandal viii involve France in
a war with Germany.
France Is trying 20 prevent trouble
with Germany, and may succeed la
getting over this crisis. Several min
isterial conferences have been held.
These and other ministerial confer
onoes were devoted to an endeavor TO
convince the minister for war OF the
necessity on political grounds OF a re-
vision Of the Dreyfus case, while the
whole country. including the army
now insists on Il.
High officers confess that the discus
sIons that will follow reveision Will
probably entail war. but they say that
would be preferable TO having the
army remain under a cloud. with the
possibilities OF again leading to inter
nal trouble.
