ALL HOPE IS GONE.
The oreyius Supporters No Longer Expect
Justice to Be Done.

Paris Feb. 1.-The most ardent sup
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done. A prominent
member of the University of Paris,
who, from the first, has been a militant
champion of revision of the trial
says:
For 90 out of 100 Frenchmen the
guilt or innocence of Dreyfus is a mat
ter of sentiment. All the reasoning in
the world would not induce them TO
change their attitude. There are mil
lions of Frenchmen who will insist up
on Dreyfus' guilt in spite of any proof
to the contrary.
"A terrible feature of the situation
is that the attitude of the majority is
dictated by motives which they believe
to be deserving of the highest respect.
l admit that some of the Dreyfusards
are much to blame for this. The best
cause may be ruined by disreputable
adherents, and there are men on the
Dreyfus side of whom every patrioc
Frenchman is the natural enemy.
while the majority of us have been
merely demanding that justice should
be done. a pestlent minority has made
this demand an excuse for virulent on
slaughts on institutions we hold in
great esteem

result of the agitation will be an on
slaught of unparalleled violence on the

they are at the bottom of the whole
