ANOTHER DENUNCIATION.
Nova Scotia Official who Would strik.

Halifax, N. S., September ii.-Hon.
J. W. Longtry, attorney general OF Nova
Scotia, will publish a letter In tomor-

denounoes the second condemnation of
Drefyus and urges the nations of the
world to join In q general boycott Of the
Paris exposition. Mr.. Lnngtry says:
"The fabric upon which social exist

being that is called upon to tread this
earth fer O longer or shorter perind is

himself of its opportunities rests upon the
conviction that he shall receive iustice
at the hands OF those with whom his
destiny is limited. 1t Ia not surprising
therefore, that the world should stand
agnast at the spectacle OF a human being
being condemned absolutely without evil
dence. after a public trial, In the face OF
the whole world, condemned in the face
OF the fact that theA evidence pointed al

that his former conviction was the result
