Berlin, Sept. lO,--Though the gov
ernment has taken pains to preserve
its equilibrium the result Of the Drey-
fus trial has tremendously shocked the
German people, irrespective of creed
and politics. The bitter insult implied
by the utter disregard upon the part of
the Rcnnes court, of the official Reich
anzciger's declaration of Dreyfus'
innocence is deeply felt here. Owing
to the peculiar relations with France,
these sentiments have not found full
vent in the press, and the government
organs have even done their best to
smother them. but in conversation tho
real feelings of the people, indignation
and almost contempt, are universally
and freely expressed.

FRENCH TREATY IN JEOPARDY.
Chamber Would Resent American Boycott
Of Paris Exposltlon.

Washington, Sept. ls,-The rccipro-
city treaty between the United States
and France may not be ratified by the
French Chamber Of Deputies, owing to
the threatened boycott Of the Paris cX-
position, Already great opposition to
the ratification Of the treaty has dcvel-
opcd in France.
There are now pending before the
Chamber of Deputesno less chan TWEEN
ty bills lcvcled at particular commodi-
ties exported by the United States, II
any one of these bills were taken up
and passed the reciprocity treaty just
negotiated would be nullihed, for tho
reason that every one Of the commodi-
ties upon which special legislation Is
now being sought in France is cmbrac-
cd in the treaty.
In the event that the threatened boy
colt Of the French exposition is persist
ed in by the people Of the United States
it Is not improbable that the French
will rctaliate by passing some one of
these special bills and thereby kill the

the state department that the threaten
ed boycott of the Paris exposition Is
calculated to wound the pride and
arouse the resentment Of the French

ROAD WILL BE BUILT.
Milwaukee Business Men Further Consider
the Belt Line Project.

The Business Mems association, of
Milwaukee, held another meeting last
evening to consider the proposition of
the building of two new railroads to
that city. In one, the terminal belt
line, Kenosha is deeply interested. At
the meeting it was shown that the plan
to build the proposed belt line was
making great Roadway and several of
Mi1waukee's best-known capitalists
have already interested themselves in
the matter. The Chicago and western
roads have taken stock in the new COM
pany, and according to the statement
of E. p. Hackett, one of the main
promoters of thesnew line, the build
ing of the belt would introduce twenty
five Western roads into an entirely
new territory.
The plans of the Wisconsin Central
were laid bare and Mr.. Hacl1ett an
nounced that while it was originally
intended to build the road wholly for
use as a freight carrier it was now set
tied that the tracks would be leased to
the Wisconsin Central for use in the
passenger service.
Mr.. Frank Hoyt, who also addressed
the meeting, urged that the association
take immediate action.
John Wegner, who formerly was the
father of a railway ordinance in this
city, appeared before the meeting in
regard to the construction of new
road out of Milwaukee to the South
west. The road would not touch
Kenosha if built, and the people of this
city are taking little interest in the
project. From the present appearance
of the case it seems that the belt line
will be built next spring, and at that
time the Wisconsin Central will have
station in this city.
