PROSPECT OF DAMAGE TO THE EXPOSITION HAS A
 SOBERtNG INFLUENCE
ANXIOUS TO COMPROMISE
The Conspirators are Just Be ginning to Realize Their
 Great Wrongs.

PARIS, September D The open threats of boycott of the Paris Ex- position on account Of the Dreyfus verdict, reported in dispatches from the United States, Great Britain, Austro-HungarY, Italy and other countries, seem to be having so- bering tnfueoce upon public opin- ion here.
 There is 10 doubt tbat the yer dict of tke Bennes court martial was a first accepted with delight by the general public. Most French men seem to be willing to believe DreYtas guilty because the generals say he is guilty. The Paris shop keepers, owing to the fact that agi- tation is always detrimental to bus. mess, are anxious to have the con troYersy ended on almost any terms. Hence they hailed the decision as settling the intermiable affair.
 But the prospect that the exposi= tion may be boycotted, which would mean D loss of millions, causes uadeaiable alarm. Then want of logic is perceived in the verdict of sextennatlng cireum= stanees.n It is also perceived that the friends of Dreyfus are by no means silenced, but are resolved upon new and vigorous campaign.
 Fhe fact that other countries re. fused to accept the verdict as just might have been dismissed with contempt by the average Parisian, but the danger of Q boycott of the Paris Exposition is practical point which causes him to reflect. Any thing approaching failure of the exposition would mean severe per sonal loss to thousands of people. Whether the final effect ot the boy colt movement will be dogged anger against Dreyfus or an increasing lopepness to conviction of the gross i injustice of the Renpes verdict re. mains to be seen.
