a convicted traitor, a concession which
excites doubt as to the strength OF the
case against Dreyfus
Moreover, public opinion is being
sobered by reading the comments OF
the world at large and by the prospect,
however remote. that the exhibition
will be boycotted, which would mean a
loss of millions to the country.
There is little doubt that the trial of
the Derouledeists next Monday, at
which it is asserted sensational evil
dence will be developed and the re-
opening of the Chamber of Deputies
will be signals for fresh troubles. At
present both parties are taking breath,
but the latent animosities are undimin-
ished
1t is estimated that the last years
proceedings have cost the Dreyfus
party at least 100000 francs. They
do not intend to let matters rest, and
rumors are revived of the impending
arrest of Gen. MERCER. He declares
that he does not care what happens, be-
ing quite satisfied that he has done his
duty.
1t is understood also that President
LouDel opposes Sucn al extreme course
as prosecuting MERCER or the other
generals. He is rather inclined to a
conciliatory policy, extending even to
a pardon for Dreyfus.
NJ. Demange has been blamed for
conceding so many points in his speech,
but it appears that he did SO in the
hope of winning another waverer
among the judges, who, however, fin
ally Joined the majority on condition
that the verdict would be accompanied
with the proviso of extenuating circum-
stances.

A GRAVE MOVE
Would be the Withdrawal of the Paris Ex
position Appropriation by Congress.

position Appropriation by Congress.
WASHINGTON, September H.
Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, who
has just returned from Europe, spend
ing part of the time in Paris, when
asked by Post reporter if the Dreyfus
verdict would hurt the Paris EXPOSE
ton, replied.
Beyond a doubt No nation can af-
ford 10 boycott the exposition as a ma
ton, because such action would be a
direct insult to France, but individuals
can express their opinion, and, in my
judgment, thousands who would ether
wise have visited Paris, will now re-
main on this side. This will touch the
French in a tender SPOT. The French
people are looking forward to making
a great deal of money cut of the show
1t is a good thing that the appropria-
ton for the exposition has been made
Congress would hardly be in the mood
now to appropriate money"
1t is believed that when Congress
assemblies there will be considerable
agitation of proposition for this gov
ernment to abandon its participation
in the Paris exposition. It is known
that expressions hostile to the exposi-
ton from Senator Stewart are widely
sympathized in and it is thought that
if the conviction of Dreyfus is permit
ted to stand. there will be very little
friendly feeling for France among
members of either the House or SEN
ate.
Such move, however, would be a
grave one.
There are now only two ways in
which Congress could interfere; one
would be to revoke such part of the
appropriation of 81 200 000 not already
expended in the expenses of the COM
mission. and the other would be to pass
a resolution declaring that on account
of the unsettled conditions in Frame,
the valuable government exhibits
should not be sent to Paris. To do
either of these things would be suffi-
Gent ii is believed. to break off all
friendly relations between the two
countries.
Unless Congress expressly foVb'ds ii,
this government will proceed with the
preparations for the exhibition and
viii send to Paris such government ex-
hibits as are decided upon, but this will
be done with a realization of the prob
ability that much of the SPACE secured
with such difficulty for private Ameri-
can exhibits will be left vacant. Little
doubt is felt that the latitude allowed
the private citizens will be quite ex-
tensively availed of to withdraw from
participation in the exhibition

calm prevails here. All the troops and
gendarmes quartered in the town and
it's environs have left and the journal
lists and others interested in the trial
have departed since Saturday. The
cafes, which for the last few weeks
have been thgonged with excited crowds
are desertd. This afternoon a soli-
tary gendarme paced up and down be-
fore the military prison and there was
not a policeman or a soldier near the
Lycee, which last. week resembled a
barracks. Woekmen were busy dis
mantIing the court room and packing
the chairs. tables and benches on a
trolley car outside.
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
in the prison this afternoon, but not
the slightest interest @as shown in their
meeting by the population. She found
him as calm as yesterday. The pris-
oner smoked pipe to-day, for the first
time in many days, which indicated
that he was in better spirits than could
be expected.

WHARNLIFFE, w. Va, September
u.-Deyil Anse Hatfield, fifty-eight
years of age, and who for fifteen years
has Led the clan bearing his name dur
ing their bloody warfare with the Nc
Coys along the border of West Virginia
and Kentucky, was arrested late this
afternoon for the first time in his life.
His son Bob, and son-in-law, John
Dingess, were also arrested at the same
time. Stories of Hatfelds lawlessness
and thirst for blood have been told
all over the country, but now that
Mingo county is becoming more civil
liked the inhabitants are tired of feuds,
and a few weeks ago concerted efforts
were made by citizens TO stop them.
Accordingly, posse fifty strong,
composed of the brayest men in this
county, assisted by half dozen off,
Gals of Huntington, to-day boarded a
special train at Gray, and came to this
place for the purpose of making an at
tempt to capture all the HatfieldS and
their kin against whom indictments
have been returned either here or in
Kentucky.
This is the Hatfelds' stronghold,
their big fort being located only a short
distance away.
Strange to say, when the train
stopped, Devil Anse," his son Bob and
John Dingess were standing near. At
first sight of the posses, all started rap
idly toward their fort
The posse debarked quickly and after
several shots had been fired, the Hat
fields, seeing they were oyerpowered,
surrendered. The posse, armed with
Winche5ters, hurried ON to the big fort
with the hope of capturing the notorious
cap" Hatfield
To their disappointment the fort was
vacant, but in it were found ammuni-
ton and provisions for small army.
Cap" had evidently escaped to the
relatives, and a portion of the posse
is in the mountains tonight and hope
to locate him soon after daylight
The men arrested were taken to Will
hanson, on the special.
Elias Hatfield, who murdered Doc.
Ellis on a passenger train last summer,
is now on trial at Williamson.
There is great excitement in Mingo
county tonight, and it is difficult to
predict the outcome of to-day's cap
lures. At least forty more Hatfelds
and relatives are hiding in this region,
and should the posse come upon them
in a body, a bloody BATTLE will result.
All the men arrested to-day carried
Winchesters 1t is predicted a lynch
ing will occur before the trial of Elias
Hatfield is concluded,

WASHINGTON, September IL
State Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., of
Pennsylvania, was before the industrial
commission to-day. He spoke in oppo-
sition to the Standard Oil Company.
He claimed that the railroads were re-
sponsible for TIE great growth of the
Standard Oil Company, and said that
the contract made between the South
Improvement Company and the rail-
roads in 1872 was practically in effect
to-day. Under this arrangement there
had been discrimination on the part
of the roads in favor of the Standard
company up to the present day.
Mr.. Emery cited case tried in 1890,
in which determinations by the Penn
sylvania road were charged in favor
of the Standard Oil Company. He said
that while President Roberts and the
general freight agent of the railroad
company had both denied that rebates
were given, the auditor and some of the
bookkeepers had sworn determinations
were given amounting to from to %
cents a barrel. He was, however, so
harassed after three years effort that
he compromised his claim of $107, 900
for $4,000. He also said he knew Of
instances in which rebates had been
paid as late as 1893, and that complaint
had been made to the interstate COM
merce commission, which had rendered
its decision against the railroads for
$3.50 900.
Mr.. Emery claimed to have been
twice driven to the wall by the combi-
nation of the railroads and the STAN
dard Company against him. He claim
ed that the Standard company had in
herited all the privileges of the old
South improvement Company and read
the contract between that company and
the railroad organizations to prove
that it provided explicitly for rebates.
He also read letter addressed by the
receivers of the B. & o. railroad TO the
interstate commerce commission, adj
hitting, Mr.. Emery claimed, that re-
bates had been given up to January
1899.
Mr.. Emery gave a detailed history Of
his efforts to secure a footing for the
product Of independent companies in
Germany. In this connection, Mr..
Emery eulogized the German govern
ment as model. ct isl he said,
zone of the best governments on the
face of the earth. 1t protects all its
citizens. You get the right hand of
fellowship there, but you don't get it
here"
He had gotten the relief which he
had sought in Germany, while he had
been praying for relief in the United
States since 1872. There was no dis
elimination on either the railroads or
the canals in that country.
Witness contended that the Standard
company does reduce prices for the pur-
pose of driving out competitors and
said he could bring stack of proof to
show that this was the custom to the
present day. He also charged the
Standard company with exerting the
utmost efforts to prevent legislation
and Of preventing the making of APP
preparations to carry such laws into
effect when made. Mr. Emery was still
on the stand when the commission ad-
journed for the day.
