Dreyms' Innocence Proven.

Paris, Feb. 23.-The Soir announces
that ". Manu-, the procurateur general,
will submit his report in the Dreyfus
affair next week. The report will ask
the court of cessation, it is said, to an
nul the conviction without ordering a
retrial. If this is correct it shows that
the evidence before the court not only
proves Dreyfus innocent, but that the
crime for which he was punished never
existed, as the French Law allows the
court of cessation to quash a sentence
without retrial only when there is
proof that the otfense alleged was
never perpetrated.

The basis OF the suit is the default in the

Philadelphia millionaire, and Anthony J.

Formal Opening of the Her Grand
Proves 10 BE Something of
Social Function.

The weather that Forecaster Welsh has
been handing out to the general public for
the last few days cast a gloom over most
OF the entertainments set for last evening,
but the formal opening OF the Her Grand
hotel seemed TO have been but little affected
by it. The old-time settlers OF Omaha and
many of the prominent society men and
women were there by the score This may
have been because OF the fact that p. E.
Her is the proprietor. or it may have been
due in measure TO the popularity OF Man
ager Powell.
In the hotel arrangements for the accom-
modation Of large number OF guests had
been made and the manager was not disap-
pointed in the attendance. During the
evening the manager and his assistants
were kept busy showing their guests
through the building. An orchestra had
been engaged for the evening and a spacious
room prepared for dancing for those who
were so inclined. In the cafe luncheon and
punch were served to the guests.

BERESFORD ON OPEN DOOR
America the Greatest Gainer by the Adoption
of Such Policy.
SHUT OUT OF THE ORIENT WITHOUT 1T
Each European Nation Would Monop-
olize the Trade in Its sphere OF
Inhuence-China Also the
Gamer by the Policy.

SAN FRANCISCO Feb lO--The new jap
anese liner America Maru arrived here to-
day from China and Japan, via Honolulu
one day ahead OF time. On board the ves-
sci was Lord Charles Beresford admiral OF
the British navy. The America Maru was
met at The Heads by government tugboat
bearing a party of distinguished citizens
who went to welcome the visiting admiral,
who comes to this country in a three fold
capacity, viz: as a British statesman, an
officer of the royal navy and a commissioner
from the Associated Chambers of Commerce
OF England. The party landed before the
vessel docked by special permission and the
admiral was driven to the Palace hotel.
Lord Beresfords proposal OF an "open
door policy in the Orient has been received
with great attention throughout the world
and II VIII likely play a most prominent
part in the settlement of the far eastern
question. In an interview today Lord Beres-
ford said:
1T means simply that instead OF spheres
of influence which means the breaking up
OF the Chinese empire, that England, Amer
ica, Germany and Japan shall by agreement
maintain free and equal commercial rela-
tions for all In the Orient. 1t includes the
reorganization OF the Chinese army ofiicered
both as 10 commissioned and non commits
elohth OJ r-uiOpeduS, lHdt the 'ul-
nese empire may be properly policed and
life and property made safe As II is now
m0bs and rebellions are liable at any time
TO destroy both lives and property. as
actually happened not long ago when about
5000, 900 taels worth OF property belonging
TO the French mission in western China was
destroyed
China must have a revenue and the open
door policy, by guaranteeing order and uni
formtty in customs regulations and tariffs
will provide II in greater abundance than
It has ever been provided before, besides in
surlpg that IL shall not be wasted as IL is
now. 1t will mean the opening up of the
empire In an it's provinces and the develop
ment OF Its wonderful resources OF mining
and commerce. The returns from conces-
shons OF these natural resources now lying
Idle will be a source of great revenue to
the empire.
IF the spheres OF influence policy is al
lowed 10 be adopted Russia will OF course
become all powerful In the north, France in
the south. England, OF course, cannot get
everything. Germany win get what she can
while America will probably get nothing.
Cor though l think she is destined to be
great trading nation in the Orient greater
than Great Britain or any other country
her interests there now are comparatively
slight and In the scramble II is not likely
that the American people would feel their
interests demanded a struggle for a por-
tion OF II at this time. But
