can be little doubt, in tho light Of q multitude Of
indications, that lola and the other champions
OF Dreyfus are now in "a minority in Paris and

the triumph Of justice is impossible. and this IL
one OF those moments In Franco. 1t 10 impossi-
Bile that the matter should end at its present

1t seems also impossible that tho mystery
attaching to the whole Dreyfus case can much
longer DO maintained. The emphatic doclara.
tion Of Germany Is that she is not interested in
reticence. Tho French Government has 70.
vived ono Of the early rumors, to the effect that
Russia was tho country p~roiting by Dreyfus's
alleged treason, the explanation being that tho
st. Petersburg Government desired to know the
real efficiency Of French war machinery before
making the present alliance.
There has not yot been any renewal Of the stu
dent disturbances. Strong squads of police are
stationed at all bridges TO prevent any mobs
from crossing the Seine. A committee Of stu
dents sent n letter to lola protesting against his
attack upon the French Army. He replies to-
day that he has not attacked tho army, which
he honors, but he merely told the truth about
certain individuals who are unable to dishonor
the army as o whole unless they arc permitted
to remain now that their unworthiness 10 e&-
posed.

LONDON. Dec. 15.-Mr. Joseph Chamberlain
and the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
have been this week giving Q valuable sdyer-
tisement to the American axe. A patriotic
British workman In Tasmania. distressed by
American axes monopolizing the colonial mar
ket, wrote to the Colonial Office. Mr.. Chamber
lain sent copies to all the Chambers Of Com
merce in the manufacturing districts.
The Birmingham Chamber discussed the let
ter lengthiIy. and ~sorrowfully admitted that the
Americans make q style Of axe suited to tho
colonists which British manufacturers couldn't
or wouldn't copy.
One gentleman frankly confessed that the
American axe beat the world In quality and
price. For one thing, the American axe, when
driven into timber, could be pulled out again.

often lacked.
The outspoken member quito upset the Cham
Der, which dropped the subject without at

Mr.. Cievelaud's Summer Home Broken Into
Wtne ana Other Articles Taken.
BUzzARp's BAY, Jan. 15.-Gray Gables, the sum.
mer home Of ex-Presldent Cleveland, has been
ransacked by burglars and considerable plumber
carried off, including the contents of the wine
cellar. The robbers are at large. The discovery
was made about a week ago by Brad Wright,
who has charge OF the estate, but he kept quiet
about the matter, except to notify ono of the
Selectmen Of Bourne, who notified State Dotec-
tive Lottenney and who started an investiRa-
ton. It was learned that entrance had been
effected through one of the windows facing tho
bay. In the dining. sitting. bedrooms and attics
every article of furniture had been moved In
search of valuables.
From tho collar the thieves entered Mr.. Cleve-
lands wine closet. and judging from the bung-
ling Job they did In forcing an entrance to this
closet it would seem that they were o~veranxious
to sample the stock kept there. Everything in
tho wine closet was taken. A gallon OF wood
alcohol found In another room was sampled. but
was not carried of.
From the condition of tho kitchen IL 10 evident
that high carnival WAS held there. The only
room not entered was the gun room, where the
ex.President kept his fishing tackle. This room
faces tho village.
Just what the value OF the thieves haul was
cannot be learned until one of the Cleveland
servants arrives. Detective Lettenney has ar
rested a man named Harry Benson ON suspicion.

Of the Men.
Speoia: Cable Dsspofch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, Jan. 1B.-Thero has beea much con-
lecture in regard to the real position OF the
parties to the strike. Everything points to the
speedy collapse of the men. Yesterday the joint
Trades Union Committee passed q resolution to
intimate to the employers that their demand for
a forty weight hours week will BIO withdrawn.
This committee originally made the demand,
and doubtless the executive committees of tho
unions represented thereon will support The
withdrawal.
Tho employer meeting yesterday at Man
chester did not consider this withdrawal suffl-
Gent to close the dispute, saying that the unions
must accept officially the forms Of the West
minister conference. which include the freedom
OF the management of tho works.
The Fairfield Company. the latest great re-
cruit of tho employers. has already taken on
many Of the old hands. As the non-unionists
and masters generally expect, there will bo
numerous applications for reinstatement on
Monday.
The Amalgamated Society Of Engineers TO-
day made its thirtieth weekly distribution Of
strike pay. Eighty-three thousand men ro-
ceived tho sum Of $1s5, 900.
1t was decided by the society to notify the EN-
ployers' Federation TO make overtures for tho
immediate resumption Of work, thus practically
ending the great strike.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 15.--The new Yale

ment of tho name Of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
who married Miss Grace Wilson, as a post
graduate student. Young Mr.. Vanderbilt was
y member OF the clnss OF 90 and has been out Of

candidate for the degree OF Doctor Of Philosophy
and expects 70 study hero for about three years.
He has not taken up his residence hero, as his
studies do not require his attendance at tho
university more than two or three days 0 week.
He has q brother, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
here, and while In this city he makes his head
quarters with him.
Mr.. Vanderbilt Is making q speciality of
scientific studies. although he Is doing a little
work In history. Instead OF taking up n busi-
ness career. as II had boon supposed was his in
tention. he will evidently give his attention to
an intellectual life. This seems to Indicate that
his tastes closely resemble those OF HE uncle,
George Vanderbilt, the designer Of Biltmoro.
