PARIS, May 3O.-Three events have
taken place today, each of which, with
out the others, would have sufficed to
electrify France. All coming together, In
terest was diffused, and no convulsion
thus far is appreherded
One was the landing Of Maj. Marchand
at Toulon. The second was the speech
of Gen. Herve and the proceedings gen.
orally In the Paris court Of assizes where
the Deroulede-Habert trial is going on.
The third was the conclusion of Judge
Ballot de Beaupre's report on the Dreyfus
case. read by him before the court Of
cessation.
Maj. Marchand Is hailed as a hero by
all the enemies of the republic He Is
contrasted by them with the foreign min
lister, M. Delcasse, whose general sense
In the Faschoda matter is stigmatized as
cowardice. To pay ovations TO Marchand
is at once to let loose Anglophobe feeling
and to belittfe the republic. He was edu-
Gated by religious orders and has been
patronized by the Catholic missions In
Paris, which are only second in import
ance to the propaganda at Rome. 1t may
be that, being a man of humble birth and
uncultured, he will lose his head and let
himself be hoisted into Gen. Boulangers
saddle. Yet think, for one reason, that
he will not. Marchand is a silent man
He never asks advice, but after mature
thought he acts upon the notion he has
been rejecting upon. He must think him
self fortunate to be ranked so high in
the army and Legion of Honor and to be
the recipient of the exploration prize of
the academy, 1900 francs, to say moth

made by M. Drumont to Parisians to hang
out flags in honor of Marchand has not
yet been widely responded to. but the
tags are perhaps reserved until the hero
arrives expect that Marchand will
marry an hefress, leave the marines for
the line and be entrusted with the general
command In the French Soudan with a
mission to watch Lord Kitchener The
Egyptian question being raised, the Sou
dan would afford a fine field for his ener-
gies.
DREYFUS CASE.

M. Drumont, this evening, expressed
himself as delighted with the outcome,

Is not single eminent Dreyfusite who is

not see that, and this hatred, bred by the
Dreyfus affair, is not likely to die.
DERoULEDE TRIAL.
The feature of the Deroulede trial is
the attempt being made, through it, to
blacken President Loubet as "Pana-
maist." M. Loubet was never implicated
nizance of President Carnot and with his
approval, tried to prevent the exposure of
124 Republican deputies in 1892 as "Pana-
maists." He was minister of the interior,
and able to prevent it. On the day fol-
lowing the suicide Of Baron Reinach, the
police were about to search his papers,
which contained proofs Of parliamentary
corruption. Loubet, and Carnot as well.

If 124 deputies were prosecuted. That Is
all. But today M. Quesnaye dc Beaure-
paire, who was attorney general in 1882,
spoke in court of the president in most
disparaging terms. His object was TO inn

Derouede was justified in calling upon
Gen. Roget to march ON the Elysee on
the day of M. Faure's funeral, because
