All reports from France agree that the
Dreyfus case has now brought France 30
the eve of crisis. perhaps the most for
midable in the history Of the republic The
situation is rendered more acute by the
fact that it is threatening not merely the
existence of the cabinet, but the stability
of the constitution.
A significant feature of the situation Is
the attitude of President Faure. He is
known to be utterly opposed to a revision
of the case but the premier, NJ. Brisson.
and a majority of his colleagues have de-
cided I'm favor of reopening the mater.
and with the resignation of the minister
of war, General Zurlinden. as a result
there is but little doubht but that popular
feeling is still against the revision. Thus
the cabinet will come in conflict with the
people, while President Faure, as cham
pion of the army. and with the sympathy
of a majority of the nation, assumes a
formidable role which may lead to grave
developments. This will be clearly seen If
the cabinets decision leads, as II is seems
extremely likely, TO mob demonstrations

of military feeling the army will side with
the demonstrators against the cabinet

St Paul, Sept. 17.-President ]. ]. Hill
of the Great Northern railway returned
from Chicago to-day and made this state
ment to the associated press representa-
tive regarding the Baltimore q Ohio
story:
ANY connection which 1 may have with
the Baltimore q Ohio is simply Tor the
purpose of getting that road on its feet
and making it what it was at one time
one of the most important roads n tne
country. Recently IL has failed 20 such
an extent II was an incubus. Any inten-
ton / may have with regard to the Baiti-
more q Ohio has no connection with the
Great Northern. Neither has the Great
Northern or myself any connection with
any road between st. Paul and Chicago:
and Furthermore, neither do I expect to
have any such connection. Some one who
is responsible for statements to the con-
trary has an imagination that is alto
gether too vivid"
Further than this President Hill has
nothing to say regarding the matter.
