though perhaps the Jews are nowhere
more hated than in Russia, The judges

as to what future is i'll store for France.
The German press Is especially III
Ggnant, The National Zeitung remark
ing that ..even the worst enemy OF
France could not have wished what has
happened.
Papers OF all nationahties fall III with
the idea of boycotting the exhibition.
1t would be difficult to describe ade-
quately the Indignation the verdict has
evoked everywhere IN England. The
excitement in the Jewish quarters of
London is only natural. Special pray
ers were offered throughout Saturday in
all the synagogues OH behalf of Drey-
fus, and, as soon as the verdict was
at every street corner expressing execra-
UlOuS anu
At the music halls the news was
greeted with groans and Misses. In the
French quarter. of London there was
much excitement, accompanied by some
street fighting.
In almost all the places of public
worship yesterday pulpit references
were made to the verdict. Canon Scott
Holland, at St. Paul's cathedral, said:
"a nation is on trial. France stands
at the Judgment bar. All civilization
is Whiting TO know whether tomorrow's S
news may add anything to qualify the
naked cruelty of bare telegram, any
thing to relieve the staggered con-
science.
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the well
known Wesleyan divine, preaching at
St. James hall, said:
"Five unhappy judges have already
taken their places, in the Judgment of
the human race, beside Judas, PLATE,
Judge Jeffries and other creatures.
They have sentenced their victim to a
decade of Imprisonment, but they have
decreed themselves forever to the scorn,
derision and eXecration OF the human
race. Unless France shakes off this
infamy, she will be lett without an ally
or a friend.
Rev. Arthur Robins, chaplain-in-or-
Ginary tG the queen, preaching at Holy
Trinity, Windsor, said:
"The civilized world is aghast at this
great crime of five abject judges"
The Daily Mail says: "Rennes is
frances moral Sedan"
The Daily Graphic says: 1.-The Rem
mes verdict will live forever as the su-
preme effort of human wrongheaded-
ness
The Daily Chronicle says tnat Mer-
cier issues from the case one of the
blackest scoundrels in history.
The Daily News remarks: ''It Is no
longer Dreyfus, but France herself that
is on trial.
The Morning Post declares that 1.-THE
terpreted all the world over as evidence
fus really believe him innocent
The Daily Telegraph says:
"This infamous judgment disgraces
France, dishonors her army, insults the
kaiser and offends the best principles of
humanity. There seems nothing left
for France but a revolution and a war
that will reduce her to the level of
Spain"
The Standard said:
"We are watching by the sick bed of
great nation, none knowing what new
and deadly form the malady may as
sume."
The Times observes: 1--WE do not
hesitate to pronounce it the greatest
and most appalling prostitution of JUS
tice the world has witnessed in modern
times. All the outrageous scandals
which marked the course of the trial
pale into insigniticance beside the
crowning scandal of the verdict
