FRENCH CRISIS.
Fate Of the Republic Trembling in
the Balance.

PARIS, Sept. u.-There will be cabi-
net council at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing to decide whether or not it would be
advisable to summon the chambers to
meet at once.
1t is believed that M Meline, who was
premier of the last ministry, has sent
circulars to his followers urging them to
add their signatures to those already
secured to request the convocation of
the chambers. t-,
In case M. Meline obtains the legal
number of signatures the defeat of the
government Is certain. On the other
hand, the government has a chance
of victory, If it calls a session of the
chambers for the defense of the repub-
lie.
M Miller and the socialist member of
the present cabinet, who holds the port
folio Of minister of commerce, had an
hours interview with Premier Waldeak-
Rosseau today, and promised the gov.
ernment the support of the socialists in
the present crisis
Matthew Dreyfus was called to Paris
today by Joseph Reinach, the journalist,
for the purpose of holding an interview
with Premier Waldeck-Rosseau, who ia
reported as advising the family not to
appeal to the court of cessation, as the
prisoner will be pardoned by Jan. 1. -

COMPLICATIONS MAY COME.
Possibility of America Withdraw
ing From Paris Exposition.

Possibility of America Withdraw
ing From Paris Exposition.
WASHINGTON, Sept lit is believed
that when congress assemblies there will
be considerable agitation of a PROPOSE
ton for this government to abandon its
participation in the Paris exposition. 1t
is known that expressions hostile to the
exposition, quoted from Senator Stewart,
are very widely sympathized in, and 1t
is thought that If the conviction of Drey-
fus is permitted to stand, there will be
very little friendly feeling for France
among members of either the house or
senate.
Such a move, however would be a
grave one. 1t is pointed out that to
withdraw from participation in the ex7
position would be regarded as an official
insult tc France. No further legislation
On the part of congress is needed to
carry out the plans of this country for
the exposition. About $1,200,000 has been
appropriated for the expenses of the COM
mission, and the government exhibit;
the commission has been appointed and
the space desired for exhibits from this
country has been secured
There are now only two ways In which
congress could interfere; one would be
to revoke such part of the appropriation
expenses of the commission, and the
other would be to pass a resolution de-
claring that OH account of the unsettled
conditions the valuable government eX-
hibits should not be sent to Paris. To do
either Of these things would be sufficient.
it is believed, to break off all friendly
relations between the two countries.
Congress and the state department may
look at the matter from different points
of view. The president and the state
department, having responsibility for
maintaining our relations with foreign
governments, cannot be expected to find
in this affair a reason for involving the
country In an international complication,
and it is likely that the executive branch
of the government will use what inf1u-
ence 1t can to prevent hasty action
Unless congress expressly fcrbds IT.,
this government will proceed with the
preparations for the exhibition aud will
send to Paris such government exhibits
as are decided upon but this will be done
with n realization of the probability that
much of the space secured with such diff
Guilty for private American exhibits will
be left vacant. Little doubt is felt that
the latitude allowed the private citizen
will be quite extensively availed of to
withdraw from participation in the ex-
position.
Another difficulty in the way Of an eff
fort to prevent participation In the ex-.
position, however, will be found in the
fact that before congress has assembled
much of the government exhibit proba.

Paris, If not actually there. The cxposi-
tion opens in April, and the work Of
transporting and preparing the exhibit
will have to begin some months before

preparation Of the government exhibit has
not begun, but the work will proceed

FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Gen. JOubert Defines Situation in
the TransvaaI.

PRETORIA, South Africa, Sept. H.
Gen. Joubert, commander of the Beers,
writes as follows:
1.-The swarms of capitalists and adven-
turers who have been attracted to the
Transval by its gold are not content with
trying by their cunning to swindle the
Beers out of their lands and their riches,
but they would control the country alb
solptely.
"For this purpose England is used as
cat s. paw by these men: What could bet
ter serve their end, than loudly to COM
plain that the Beers are depressing the
uitlanders? Then the whole world will
cry shame upon the Transvaal.
Next come Joseph Chamberlain
screams for the maintenance of suzerain-
ty. and on top of that his quarrel with
the Transvaars franchise regulations.
This reaches the ears Of the whole world,
and the Transval, deserted by all the
civilized or great" powers, Is unable to
get either impartial investigation or ar
bitratton. r..

must bow the knee to Chamberlain, must

CALM AT RENNES.
Old French Town Resumes Its
WOnted Quiet.

RENNEs, Sept. 11.-A state Of calm
prevails here. All the troops and gen
darmes quartered in the town and Its
environs have left and the journalists
and others interested in the trial have
departed since Saturday. The cafes
which for the last few weeks have been
thronged with excited crowds are de-
serted. This afternoon solitary gen
darme paced up and down before the
military prison and there was not a po-
liceman or a soldier near the Lycee,
which last week resembled barracks.
Workmen were busily dismantling the
court room, packing the chairs, tables
and benches on a trolley car outside.
Nine Dreyfus visited her husband in
the prison this afternoon, but not the
slightest interest was shown in their
meeting by the population. She found
him as calm as yesterday. The prisoner
smoked a pipe today for the first time
in many days, which indicated that he
was in better spirits that could be ex-
pected

1t is officially announced that the arti-
Gle in the gold law about the confisca-
ton of claims and mines belonging to
people convicted Of treason or conspira-
cy against the state, which was last
year eliminated, will be REINFORCED. The
article also gives the government power
to order that the mines be worked, and
provides that if this instruction Is dis
regarded the government may work them
through it's own agents.
Commander General Joubert denies that
the war department is ordering heavy
ordnance and rifles. He declares that he
is anxious for the preservation of peace.
The burghers Of this place are offering

ESTERHAZY's VIEWS.
Expresses Belief That Dreyfus Will
Be PRrdOned.

LONDON, Sept 11.-Maj. Esterhazy
commented today on the verdict in the
Dreyfus case in the Evening News, say
ing Dreyfus was justly condemned, as
the inevitable result of the evidence col
lected by Gen. Mercier. This, accord
ing to Esterhazy, bore conviction to the
minds of the judges and, he added, the
court-martial following the previous
finding, declared Dreyfus guilty and me
innocent" Continuing, Esterhazy said:
81 believe the sentence was in accord
ance with an understanding with the
government. Dreyfus was in a posi-
ton to claim a reduction of his sentence
by one-half. The whole business was q
farce arranged in advance, and doubt
less he will soon be liberated"

people are looking forward to making

Dreyfus Difficulty.
PARIS, Sept. 11.-Commenting, on the
verdict in the Dreyfus case the Temps
today says that all good citizens who
are divided on the Dreyfus affair ."agree
in desiring that Judgment should reopen
an era of peace and repose for France
that is far from being incompatible with
the judgment. Continuing the Temps
says: ..... ,.s...,,.,.
I'VE have strong belief that if the
judge did not give Dreyfus the benefit Of
the doubt they implied it in the admis-
sion of extenuating circumstances. Con-
siderations foreign to the affair, above
all the improvided utterances of Had
vised partisans of the revisionist cam
paign against the generals, are the cause
of it, 1t is, however, possible that
Dreyfus may not lose this benefit. 1t
would be enough for the chief Of state
to sign his pardon. This solution would
bring about the pacifcation of which
France Is in need"

a proper subject for formal action by
the club. However, some of those who
favored such a meeting thought that
Mayor Kiefer should take the initiative
and the mayor signifed individually his
sympathy with the purposes of such a
meeting, but expressed the belief that
it would not be proper for him as a
public official TO call it. He would, how
ever, permit his name to be used as a
private citizen in connection with COM
