Action OF the Council tof Ministers Will

listers has decided to pardon Dreyfus in

in few days. Dreyfus has relinquished

It is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his
pardon, in order to avoid domonstra-

{, The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been dis
counted by predictions and there was
absolutely no excitement displayed
along the boulevards when the news
boys ran along at about 1916 p. m. with
the first editions containing the state
ment that the cabinet had decided to
pardon Dreyfus. The newspapers sold
quickly, bnt there was no rush for them

EFFECT WAS DISCOUNTED

I PANS, Sept. 20 The decision of the
cabinet to pardon Dreyfus created less
interest in Paris than would the result
Of . big horse race. In fact it may be
said that it caused no excitement what
ever. There was no rioting on the
boulevs1ds. In. front Of the Office of
The Librs Parole, where q crowd
usually assemblies in the evening to
gaze upon the, huge colored Transparent
eies outside the windows Of the leading
anti-Semite journal, there was not the
slightest gathering or the faintest sign
of demonstration either for or against
Dreyfus. One would think that, the
whole D1syfus agitation had burned
itself out. Tho anti Dreyfusard even
ing papers tried to infuse interest into
The Govs1nnnent's ASTON y,
BY rabid attack upon President Lou
bet, but their efforts were futile. The
peaceful crowds that filled the tables in
front Of the cafes, slipping their after
dinner coffee, looked at the newsboys
who displayed the front pages Of these
sheets with their violent headlines, but
utterly refused to get excited. The
majority did not even discuss the mat
ter or, only made the passing remark
that the decision was just what had
been expected and predicted by every
Partisan newspaper since the Rennes
courtmartial delivered its verdict. The
anti-Dreyfusard newspaper soir had
the most sensational caption, two lines
extending across the front page an
nouncing, 1.-THE traitor receives pardon.
Outrage on the army"
-, The Fight Will Be Kept Up. :.
,, The pardoning Of Dreyfus does not
drop the curtain ON the drama, The
Dreyfusards are determined to pursue
the campaign against the generals and
other officers 81 the general staff who
have lied and committed gross illegali-
ties in. order to keep the prison door
closed on their victim. The campaign
for his release has also given the Social
istparty weapon of which they will
avail themselves to the utmost and
Dreyfusism will be extended more and
more into Socialistic. agitation.
: The pardon of Dreyfus, therefore.
only finishes one act of the drama and
France will again find herself in the
throes of party passion before the Paris
exposition opens it's doors next May. -
