lola Returning to Paris.
Special Gable De,patch TO THE Sun.
rAR1s. June 2.-Lieut.- Col du Patty de Clam is
lodged in the cell in the Cherche Midi prison
which was occupied by Dreyfus and afterward
hyCo picquart. His arrest was to have taken
place after the decision OF the Court OF Cessation
in the Dreyfus revision case. but was hurried
because tho Government was informed that he
was about to leave France. The charges
against him are fraud and forgery.
Du Patty de Clam detention Is du secret. His
counsel, NJ. Menard. applied to-day fc. permis-
sion to see him. but it was refused.
The prisoner expected for several days to be
arrested but he resisted the entreaties Of his
wife. who is a Belgian. to 60 to Belgium. say
ing that he was not an Esterhazy.
1t is noteworthy that nearly all his friends
have forsaken him. 1t is the opinion. now
that the exalted military men have thrown
him over. that he will not spare them
at his trial. which is expected to furnish some
sensational Developments Rumors hang
around other namS. but who will be the next
person to be arrested. II any. is mere specula-
ton. Gen. Boisdeffre's association with the
Russian alliance is likely to protect him.
The Libre Parole publishes q letter written
by Du Patty dc Clam in which he asserts the
right to prosecute his calumniators or to ask
thu favor OF a trial by a court OF the charges
made against him. His arrest preceded the
receipt OF this letter. In connection with this
arrest. 1t is stated that proceedings are to be
taken against other officers. particularly Gen.
MERCER. who was Minister OF War at the time
OF the Dreyfus court martial. in 1894.
The question OF freeing Col. Picauart pro-
visionally has not y ct been discussed. 1t will
he decided by the Court OF Cessation after tho
decision in the Dreyfus case. The Echo de
Paris says that Gen. Zurlinden has granted the
request made by Gen. de Gallfet for the pro-
vIsionnl release OF Col, Picquart. This state
ment is not confirmed. The Figaro says that
the arrest Of Du Patty de Clam should be the
signal for PicQuarts release.

PARIS. Juno 2.-Thc correspondent OF THE

trary to various announcements which are be-
ing made here tonight. the deliberations OF

have ended. each Judge having explained

bined court on tho application OF Nine Orgy
Loew and Tanon. After the three Presidents
had spoken they were followed by the forty
Judges. who spoke in the order OF seniority.
N. Mazeau. First President OF the court spoke
last
The result was that NJ Ballot Beaupre was
requested to make certain changes in the
draft OF a decree. which he Is now doing.
The new draft will lbe submitted to the
court at noon tomorrow. and it's adop-
ton will be mere formaity and
quickly complied with. The decree will be
pronounced before O'Clock. as the court has
asked NJ. Ballot Beaupre to alter only portion
Of his explanation why the court quashes the
sentence passed on Dreyfus in 1904.
1t is unnecessary to add that the principle OF
the reporters recomm endations has been ac-
cepted. and that to-morrow's order will call
for Dreyfus's retrial by new court m rtial.
The Court will fix tho place for the holding OF
the court martial. Tours. BourGes. Lille and
Rennes are being mentioned. but no decision
has yet been reached.
l may state that no little stupefaction will be
caused by the courts decree. it being
even moro theoretically in favor OF
Dreyfus than the report OF NJ. Bal
ot-Beaupre. 1t will not only support
the view that neither the writing nor the
raper Of the bordereau can be attributed to
Dreyfus. but will formally add second new
fact OF nature to establish tine convict's nno-
cence. being no less than definite decision
that the famous candille document which was
secretly communicated to the rt-martial Is
absolutely inapplicable to Dreyfus.
The decree will not mention Esterhazy. his
possible connection with the bordereau not
being before the court.
The Councillors to-day were nearly unani-
nous in favor OF revision. their discussion
turning almost exclusively on the terms OF the
decree.
1t is stated that the decree OF the Court OF
Cessation will be printed and posted in every
commune in France

NEW ALASKAN PROPOSAL.
4 MoDUS TIyENDI SUBMITTED TO

Ambassador Chonte and Lord Salisbury Com
fer on the subject-A Temporary Ar
rhnEement Sought to Avoid Trouble on
the Disputed Border-No Neutral Zone.


the Disputed Border-No Neutral Zone.
Specidt cdbi Dispatch 10 THr sux.
LONDON. June limited States Ambassador
Choate had all important conference with Lord
Salisbury at tho Foreign Office to-day in refer
encc to the Washington Anglo American Com
mission. At the conclusion OF the conference
n long cable despatch in cipher was sent to
Secretary Hay.
WASHINGTON. June "a new proposition.
designed to effect temporary arrangement
for the present serious difficulty over the
Alaska boundary dispute, has been advanced
Ivy the United States and was probably laid
before lord Salisbury b. Ambassador
Choate at q conference held at the For
eign ONCE in London to-day. In effect
the United States suggest molus vivendi,
which contemplates the restriction OF
British and American soldiers and police to
certain prescribed territory. 1t is notntcndcd
by this Government that a neutral zone shall
be established. nor will the United States
attempt to arrange a temporary boundary
line. The proposals OF this Government are
intended merely to bring about an arrange
ment which will prevent boodshed along the
disputed border line. where the feeling be-
tween the British and American settlers is
verv high
the subject came to an end about two weeks
ago that It would be impossible to make an
agreement with Great Britain for the settle
ment OF the dispute by arbitration The dead
lock on the arbitration proposition was caused
by the attitude OF Canada. which has domi-
mated Great Britain in oil the proceedings The
new proposal OF the United States is in
tended to remain In effect only until the two
Governments can reach some agreement for
the settlement OF the entirel question. In
formation as to the details OF the American
overturcs is not obtainable from officials but
it is understood that territory in tho vicinity
OF Skagway will be affected IL 1t BE- determined
TINT the armed forces Of Great Britain and the
United States shall not enter n certain pre-
scribed area. The instructions on the subject
were sent to Mr. Choate few days ago.
The United States Government In presenting
the suggestion through its Ambassador in
London will carefully avoid giving Great
Britain any ground for believing that the re-
strcted territory constitutes a neutral zone
As the proposition is understood by The Sun
reporter there will be no area into which one or
the other party to the boundary dispute
cannot go II necessary to preserve order. but
that the armed forces OF both nations cannot
occupy the same territory at the same time.
It was said to-day that no temporary boundary
line had been suggested. The objection OF the
United States to agreeing to a neutral zone Is
that Great Britain might accept such a sug-
estion as an admission on the part OF this Gov
eminent that the territory included in the
zone was OF doubtful ownership.
