Paris, February lit Is persistently re-
iterated in the Hobbies of the Palais Bour-
bon that the committee OF the chaAber
OF deputies now considering the govern
ments revision bill has already decided
that the allegations made by Quesnay do
Beaurapaire against NJ. Loew and other
members of the criminal branch Of the
court OF cessation were without foundation.
According to rumor the committees ex-
animation submitted by NJ Mazou, which
has been the subject OF NJ. Beaurapaire's
charges, shows it to contain letters euiogiz-
ing the criminal section written by M
Mazou's own colleagues. The Mazou dos
Ter ia also said to contain letter from
NJ. Loew declaring that the members of
the criminal section have received letters
almost without number containing insults
and threats of death. M. Loew's letter IS
also said to explain that he appointed M.
Byrd, who is a young married mar, to make
the original report on the Dreyfus case
In order that If these threats of violence
We're carried out whole family should
not be plunged into mourning.
Paris, February 1.-The Echo do Paris
this morning contains communication
from De Beaurapaire asserting that the
new inquiry has revealed that the court OF
cessation before 1t had even examined
better than the dossier had already de-
cided to declare Dreyfus innocent by
decree q,Iashng the sentence and that the
court had purposely ignored passages in
tho secret dossier duplicating Dreyfus.
Paris, February Count Ferdinand
Walsn Esterhazy was officially Informed
yesterday that his testimony before the
court Of cessation in the Dreyfus inquiry
being concluded. proceedings against him
on criminal charges would be resumed III
twenty four hours He left at once for
an unknown destination by the Northern
railway.
Rotterdam February 1.-Comte Ester
hay arrived here today from Paris and
left Immediately for Amsterdam.
Paris, February 1.--Comte Esterhazy's
flight to evade arrest on the charge
brought against him by his cousin, Chris
tian Esterhazy, of obtaining money under
fraudulent pretenses, has been the sepsa-
ton of the day. On reading the warning
letter which was brought to him by the
detective Esterhazy swore and called the
letter a .'canaille rie, "a trick forthy OF
the beats have had to deal with" 1t is
understood that his hasty withdrawal OF
the safe conduct granted him was the out
come of his cavalier treatment of Mr. Ber-
tulus, the magistrate, and his refusal TO
give further testimony.
The latest victim of the anti-Dreyfus
party is the grand rabbi, Seodak Khan.
who is being denounced as the ringleader
of the infamous Jewish conspiracy against
France" On the strength of a story just
published to the effect that after Dreyfus
was sentenced the rabbi at the request OF
Matthew Dreyfus tried to get through
friendly Jewish officer in Esterhazy's regi-
ment some particulars as to the counts
movements. LIE Soir demands the resig-
nation of the rabbi. and as the latter is
virtually State official it Is not unlikely
that the agitation will become serious
matter for him.
Curiously enough the editor Of lie Soir,
which is one OF the most violent of the
anti Dreyfusard organs, is himself Jew
named CASTOR Hollenai.
According to dispatch to La Presse
from Cayenne, capital OF French Guiana.
Dreyfus was so angry on learning that
Captain Renault had asserted that he con-
fessed at the time of his trial and degra-
dation that he declined TO answer any more
of the questions put to him by the court Of
cessation unless taken back to France.
