fus case to a commission to be selected
by the minister of Justice, NJ. Sarrien.
The minister for war, General Zurlin-
den, and the minister for public works,
Senator Tillaye, left before the coun-
Gil adjourned, which is interpreted as
meaning that they do not agree with
their colleagues in this matter and
that they intend TO resign.
The council met at the Elysce palace
at half past o o'clock, President Faure
presiding. According to a semi-oficial
note the minister of justice said that
after having examined the papers he
felt unable to decide upon the CUES.
ton of the proposed revision OF the
Dreyfus Ease until he had taken the
opinion of a special committee OF the
ministry of justice. The cabinet there
upon authorized the minister to sum
mon a committee for the purpose.
II is reported now that the portfolio
of minister of wal will be offered to
General LeBrun or NJ. DeFreycinct,
and that If they refuse to accept the
office Nj. Brisson, will assume the du.
ties Of minister Of war, in addition 20
the premiership, and NJ. Vallee will be
appointed minister of the interior.
The reason that a retrial is so
dreaded by the French military chiefs
is that it may prove Dreyfus innocent.
This would be a shock to the prestige
Of the army chiefs who convicted him.
A retrial would also make public Sc
crets connected with the French spy
system; IL might show that Russia was
not the implicit friend of France and
1t might disclose general incompetence
in the army management.
Official circles and the public gener'
ally are in no way p~erturbed by the
news from Fashoda. On the contrary
they appear to be Indifferent. Mucl
greater excitement prevails respecting
the Dreyfus affair.

made James j. Hill, president Of the

and the Northwest what is practically
n trunk line from cea to ocean con
trolled by Chicago capital.
Mr.. Roam engineered the deal by

controlling interest in the Baltimore

gap between the terminus OF the Great

Western railway, but that is u matter
for the future.
Mr.. Ream will become a member OF
the executive committee Of the reor'

AGUlNALD0'S LATEST TALK.

He Expects Americans to Tvacuste Phil.
ippines-Nct Needed and Not wanted.
MANILA, Sept. l9.--Tho Philippine
general assembly was inaugurated at
Malolos yesterday with great cnthus-
iasm. There were thousands Of visit
ors from the province, and a great dis
play was made. ~Aguinaldo, who was
received with cheers and also with
cries OF viva America" by the large
crowd of natives inside and outside the
hall, read n decree converting the mem
bers, who included several Spapiards.
He next read a message eulogizing the
army, and thanking the friendly ma
tions which had set the historical ex-
ample Of liberty and had assisted n
downtrodden race.
Continuing, Aguinaldo urgently and
cloquentlv eShorted the assembly TO
follow the noblest principles" n in
voked the ''spirits of the martyred
Filipinos." The assembly then adj
journed for the day.
During the afternoon many Ameri-
cans and Europeans arrived and
Aguinaldo was kept busy receiving
NiSltOESs ibClublhB "a Sch-
sui.
Aguinaldo protested entire ignor-
nnce Of the autonomous system in
vogue in the British colonies, OF pro-
tectoratcs and Of American state
autonomy. He said he was unable to
understand the idea and only under
stood absolute independence" Per-
sonally, he believed n p~rotectorate for
the Philippine islands was desirable,
but he feared that the people would be
disappointed in this. lie had not
studied political economy md knew
nothing about the various forms Of
government. lie inquired whether
Australia was an American colony. and
said he had never heard of q Malay
protectorate.
Continuing, the iusurgeDt leader
said there was no need for protection
for the Philippine Islands, because the
Filipinos were able to cope with any
army. lie admitted that he had never
seen n foreign army, with the cxcep-
ton VI the garrisons at Hong Kong
and Singapore and he had never seen
these troops on parade.
A~guinaldo refused to discuss the
American army and protested his I'M
dying gratitude to the Americans. He
said they had come TO the Philippines
to fight the Spauiards only, and, now
that they had finished the task, it was
to be expected that they would return
to America. He was n unwilling to be-
lievc hat the Americans would de-
mand u reward for an act Of humanity
aud he declined to admit the necessity
of a guild PRO quo.
The Filipino leader expressed him
self confident that the newly founded
government would build a navy ulti-
mately. In the meantime, he said, the
great nation should protect and aid a
young nation, instead of grabbing her
territory. If the Americans should
refuse to withdraw, the national as.
sembly, he said, must decide the policy
to be p~ursued-a policy which he de-
ciined to forecast.
