LONDON, April 28.-Ernest Vizetelly
says that the German government has
addressed an expostulatory note to the
French government regarding the Drey
fus case. This note was recently pre-
sented to NJ Delcasse. the French minis
ter Of foreign affairs. by Count Won Mum
ster. the German ambassador to France.
and deals with the proceedings before the
court Of cessation. as published in the
Figaro. and which, the note says, sur
prised and panied the German govern
ment. The note, according to Vizetelly,
intimGted that in certain eventualities 1t
would be impossible for the German gov
ernment to refrain from officially pub
fishing the facts, in justice to its own
officers. who have repeatedly solicited
permission to speak. The note urged In
forcible terms the desirability, in the In
terests Of both countries. Of a speedy con-
clusion Of the present agitation.
Mr.. Yiztelly learns that eighteen of the
judges of the court of cessation are In
favor Of, and fifteen opposed to revision
of the Dreyfus case. 1t Is probable. Mr..
vizetelly adds, that on full vote Of the
Judges of the united court Of cessation
the revisionists will have a majority Of
eight.

Death Should They Interfere.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 2s-Word
has reached e. r. Durham, United States
marshal that the farmers who are in
sympathy with the might've judges of St.
Clair county have sOrganized a party 500
strong, which is pledged to escort the
three judges into 0sceoIa on May 1. when
the county court must meet and levy
taxes. and the mob will shoot down any
United States marshal or deputy who at
tempts to serveqano attachment paper en-
any Of the judges.
1t is understood that the farmers are to
surround the court house after tho
judges have taken their place inside and
prevent with their guns the entrance Of
any one else.
In order to make the tax levy binding
1t Is necessary that the judges hold their
meeting in the court house, otherwise
they would probably get together in some
secluded farm house, with the county
clerk and sheriff, who are in sympathy
with them.
In spite of this threat of an organized
gang Marshal Durham and a force of
deputies will be on hand May 1 to serve
attachments that have been issued by the
United States court. The federal court
here some weeks ago ordered the judges
to appear and show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt for
refusing to make levy to cover the
famous railroad bonds. Deputies have
been trying in vain ever since to serve
the order, the judges taking to the brush.
Dozens of st. Clair county judges have
gone to Jail during the last twenty years
for refusing to levy taxes to pay the old
bond issue.

TOO DECENT A MAN.

The oracles of the administration are
greatly intent on making it appear that
Thomas B. Reed has decided to retire
from public life purely out of desire to
secure a greatly increased income. Fairy
stories are in circulation of the tremen-
dous income which he Is assured of by
reason of his established connection with
New York law firm And there are ex-
pressions of great regret heard coming
from the clique whose operations are
the real cause of Mr. Reeds retirement
Speaker Reeds income has been all
that he and his family desire. He has SO
stated himself repeatedly. His position
in congress, which is assured to him In
definitely is. too. more acceptable to him
than any position, no matter how lucra-
tive, that might be placed at his disposal
in private life. So frequent have Mr..
Reeds statements in this regard been
that the fact has been universally rec
ognized in Washington society.
Why, then, did Mr.. Reed retire from
his position in congress? The question
is easily answered. His decision was
reached because he was unwilling to re-
main associated with, or, in any manner.

tons of those who are conducting the af-

of the public condemnation which is GER
tain. sooner or later, to be visited on
that administration by reason of the dis
graceful character and operations of it's
leading representatives Strong and re-
sourceful as he has shown himself to be,
he could not hope to continue to stem the
tide Of jobbery that has set in in the
effectuation of those mems operations.
He is clean-handed man. He is above
all personal reproach in his official ac-
tions. He desired to so continue in the
estimation of his countrymen. He would
never constitute himself the apologist Of
such crowd. He could see no oppor-
tunity to combat their influence with any
hope of success within his own party
They tried to drive him out. When he
had stayed long enough to virtually dem

went.
1t should be matter of grave concern

own sense of public and private decency
to remain associated with the men of his
own party who have been put in charge

BUSINESS are supplied to the press and af-
ford material for speculation and argu-

A member Of his household has given
the following explanation Of the position
of Gomez:
"Of course, Gen. Gomez continues to
favor, as he always has favored. ultimate
independence, but he considers a period
OF American control as logical prepar-

he wishes to cooperate with the Ameri-

Believe Americans Have Come Over
to Their Side in Samoa
BERLIN, April 2S.-The newspapers
here. commenting today on the latest
news from Samoa, express satisfaction
with the attitude of Admiral Kautz, u
s. NJ, interpreting it as sign that the
United States government will henceforth
side with Germany In the Samoan ques-
ton. The Boerson Courier says that
the American admiral's position may indi-
cate how differently the Americans and
the English in Samoa interpret instruc-
tions received simultaneously.
1t Is believed here that an understand
ing has been reached between the gov
ernments Of the United States and Ger
many, not only as to the relations in
Samoa. but In regard to other portions
Of the world as well. Some Of the Ber-
lin newspapers today condemn a speech
made recently by the United States con-
sui at Amsterdam, Mr.. George G. Corey.
in which 1t was said that from the year
1868 Prince Bismarck had been constant
ly scheming to seize Holland. The North
German Gazette. commenting on this as
sertion. says that the United States seems
to pick out singular specimens Of man
kind for diplomatic posts.
