OPINION ON THE MATTER

Need of Thorough Reform of the
General STAFF and Retirement, If
Not Punishment, of Omcers Who
Blundered and Intrigued In Drey-
fus Affair Is Suggested-Compro-
mise VIII Likely BE Proposed.

LONDON. May Following Constans
lister of the interior, M. Dupuy, has just
obtained confidential reports from pre-
fects throughout France regarding the
condition of public opinion ON the Drey-
fus episode and the possible course Of the
court Of cessation The government learns
that extreme partisans on both sides re-
main unmoved, but the latest portions Of
the evidence have much Influenced the
large body Of the people, which expected
the army would prove its case against
Dreyfus. Men Of thie thinking have from
the first been open minded and honest.
AS Lieut.. Col. Henry's suicide persuaded
them to reopen the Dreyfus case, so later
evidence inclines them to re-trial be-
fore another court-martial. The same
body of opinion is still more convinced OF
the need Of thorough reform Of the gen.
eral staff and the retirement If not pun
ishment Of officers that blundered and in
trigued in the Dreyfus affair.
The temper which these reports indi-
cate prevails also In the chambers,
though the Moderates are less strong
there than outside. M. Dupuy Is shap-
ing his course accordingly, and there Is
excellent reason to believe that two Or
three weeks hence M. Ballot do Beaure-
paire's report from the court Of cassa-
ton will recommend revision and re-trial,
that the court, perhaps by narrow ma
jority, will approve it, and that all this
will be done with the approval and CO.
operation Of the government.
M. de Freycinet furthermore is prepar-
ing plan of reorganization of the gen.
eral staff, especially of the intelligence
department Influential members of the
military party, especially generals be-
smfrched by Dreyfus intrigues, are mean
time urging the government, for the sake
of the whole army, to punish the culprits
as lightly and leniently as possible, and
M. Dupuy, with characteristic opportun-
ism, is nursing scheme Of such mild ac-
ton, which, with the rehabilitation of
both Dreyfus and PieQuart, may square
both sides.

LONDON, May 4.-Lord Byron, Of Lang
ford park, near Maldon, Essex, has gone
into the bankruptcy court with liabilities
amounting to e21,997 and assets "a,
All of his Indebtedness is unsecured. Lord
Byron's embarrassment Is due to his
lending money, through a third party, to
Mrs. Howard Kingscote, daughter of
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, British am
bassador to Spain.
Lord Byron first became acquainted
with Mrs. Kingscote in 1894. when she
wrote to him asking for help, as she was
in serious trouble He lent her $4,000,
which was subsequently increased to
100000 He says he was given to under
stand that Mrs. Kingscote was a co-heir-
ess of the estate of Sir Charles Wylxe.
She did not receive a sixpence under the
Wyke will and the family declined to pay
her debts.
This Lord Byron is the present holder Of
the title which the poet made famous,
and succeeded his uncle, the eighth Baron
Byron, in 1870. The poet was the sixth
baron.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-(Special.)-
That there is 20 be an extra session OF
congress now seems probable There has
been nothing official given out with ref
erence to the presidents intentions IN
that direction, put there are reasons to
believe that he has decided to call con-
gress together in October. In discussing
the matter prominent politician said:
There is every reason to believe that
congress will be called In special session
along in October. The president recognizes
the need of early action in a number
of questions growing out of the recent
war with Spain, and will likely call con-
gress together before the date fixed for
the regular session. That is the belief In
well-posted circles"
The questions which will come before
the next congress for settlement, includ-
ing as they do everything growing out
of our possessions acquired as a result
Of the war with Spain, and the general
legislation, including that relating to cur
rency reform, the Niearaguan canal and
the merchant marine, are Of such import
ance that the president is said to regard
1t as necessary that congress should meet
earlier than the session In December, In
order to get the work under way. The
retirement of Speaker Reed will naturally
entail considerable delay In committees In
the house, as 1T is customary to allow a
new speaker four OF five weeks to make
up his committees, and this furnishes an
additional reason why congress should be
convened before December or the sew
eral senators and members of congress
who are going abroad this summer, the
president has particularly inquired as to
the length of their stay, and has limited
that it was advisable that they should
be back in the early fall, as necessity for
an extra session might arise.
With others, it is said, he has dis
cussed the subject, and, moreover, it was
upon the presidents direct suggestion
that the caucus committee appointed by
the house Republicans to formulate
currency reform measure met when 1t
did. There had been talk of postponing
the meeting until fall, but the president
suggested that it would be we'll to for
mulate plan as early as possible, and
this statement was made to the members
when they met at Atlantic City as hav-
ing come direct from the president, to-
gether with the further statement that
the president might call congress in ex-
traordinary session in the fall, for the
purpose, among other things, Of passing
currency reform measure.
Representative DalzeH, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Representative Curtis, of
Kansas, both of whom are members of
the caucus committee saw the president
today. When the latter left the White
house he said he had no direct informa,
ton regarding an extra session, but that
he had all along regarded an extra ses-
sion as more than probable. At the
White house no confirmation could be
obtained of the statement that the presi-
dent at present contemplates calling
congress together in the fall It is said
that to visitors he may have made some
observations regarding the possible de-
STABILITY of such a course, and that
these may have been given too much
weight by his visitors.

BRIEF NEWS PARAGRAPHS.


The effective army of Spain for the
next financial year has been fixed at
los. 900 men.
For the first time since 1870 the Vat
lean party has obtained majority in
Rome in the municipal elections and
the fronts of the churches are fantas-
tically illuminated nightly in honor of
the success.
An explosion occurred at the War
Eagle mine, Rossland, u. c., on the
23d, the scene of the fatality of month
ago, and three men were killed and
another probably fatally injured and
n fifth is seriously hurt.
Harvey J. Ramsey, ticket seller at
the Madison Square garden, New
York, was killed by his wife. Mrs.
Ramsey, who is thought to be insane,
cut her husbands throat with a razor
as he lay sleeping in their room in the
Garden hotel.
The terra Gotta works of VIM. Gallo
way, at Philadelphia, were entirely
destroyed by fire on the 25th. The loss
is estimated at 500, 900, on which there
is an insurance of about SIS, 900. The
fire is supposed to have originated in
one of the k:lns. The works will be
rebuilt.
Secretary Easley, of the civic feder-
alton of Chicago, under hose auspices
a conference will be held in Chicago
Sept. 1916 to consider trusts and COM
binations and legislation for their con-
troll, has received hundreds of letters
from prominent men all over the coun-
try accepting invitations to be present
at the meeting.
According to reports received by
Secretary Martin, of the National Live
Stock association, continued drouth

orado ranges. Hundreds of cattle and
sheep are reported dying in the San
Luis valley. Northern New Mexico,
parts of Oklahoma, the Indian nations,
western Kansas and southern Utah
also report the ranges almost bare,
and it is feared the loss of cattle will
be heavy.
What is regarded by Postoffice In
spector Jas. Stuart as one of the larg-
est and boldest mail robberies in the
history of the Chicago postoffice was
detected on the Goth and the arrests of
Walter Porter and John Newman,
drivers of mail wagons, followed.
Porter made a full confession, impli-
eating Newman. Letters, money or
ders, packages and one check for 500,
600 was found at their boarding house.
The town os Kieng- Ning-Fu. in the
province of Fo- KEN, has been widely
placarded with bills offering a re-
ward of Fl 900 for the heads of mission
aries. Anti-foreign riots arc feared.
