CONDITIONS CHANGED.
United States Now Financing Euro
pcan Money Centers.

LONDON. Jan. II. At the semi-annual
meeting of the Union Bank of London, to-
day, Mr.. Schuester, the governor, in the
course of his report. said the United States
had become most important factor, which
must not be overlooked in forecasting the
future. He added that the remarkable ac-
tivity of trade in the United States after
successful war and prospective new mar
kets, together with abundant harvests, had
created an unprecedented trade balance in
favor of that country, which had already
made itself felt on this side, and for the first
time he believed it might be said that it was
not Europe that had financed the United
States, but New York that had financed
Europe. During the last few months the
United States had lent considerable
amount of cash and its discounts in Lon
don and Berlin. and its power to obtain gold
hence for very large amounts whenever it
chose must not be lost sight Of

New York Bankers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Press says:
"Plans have been made to buy the whole Of
this years crop of Havana tobacco. A
syndicate of twenty-one bankers, including
several that do an international business,
has been formed for the purpose. It's repre-
sentative will start for Cuba to-day. The
immediate scheme is to control the market
for Havana tobacco, but the whole plan
involves the purchase Of every Cuban tobac-
co plantation that can be bought at reason
able figures. The large sum of money re-
quired for such an operation has been sub
scribed. The managers of the syndicate say
that they are sending buyers of tobacco to

facture cigars from Havana tobacco"

DE BEAUREPAIRES CHARGES.
NJ. Beaurepaire has an article published
by the Echo de Paris. in which he
insinuates that Judge Loew, president of
the court, went out of his way to appoint
NJ. Baud reporter of the Dreyfus affair, be-
cause he was sure of his partiality. and that
he also appointed Dreyfusian magistrates
for other branches of the inquiry. More
over, NJ. Beaurepaire says the rehabiita-
tion of Colonel Picquart by Judge Loew is
tatamount to an uncaled for declaration
of the innocence of Dreyfus. Furthermore,
NJ. De Beaurepaire alleges that Judge Loew
displayed hostility and aversion to the gen.
erals when the latter were testifying, and
expressed approval of the attacks on the
general staff in the testimony of an eX-
officer who was cashiered for intemperance.
The assertion is also made that Judge Loew,
in examining the certificates of the army
and the officials of the War Office. put ques-
tiOns confusing them and that otherwise
he frequently showed bias.
The Liberte to-day quotes "a parsonage
closely connected with the Court of Cassa-
ton as saying that the inquiry into the
Dreyfus case is about finished; that de-
csion may be expected early in February
and that it will be almost unanimously fa-
vorable to a revision of the trial.
At a Cabinet meeting this evening the
minister of justice, NJ. Lebret, announced
that he had decided to institute an inquiry
into NJ. De Beaurepaire's latest charges.
NJ. Mazeau, first president of the Court
of Cessation, has been appointed to nvesti-
gate the latest charges of NJ. De Beaure-
paire.
In view of the governments attitude it
is possible that the numerous interpretations
announced for tO-morrow's session of the
Chamber of Deputies will be allowed to rest
until NJ Mazeaus inquiry is concluded, al
though M. Dupuy, the premier, will an
nouncer his readiness to answer all questions

that time used drafts upon New York
or other eastern banks. The plan
proved so convenient that it was con-
tinued, and grew to immense proper

banks were glad to get these checks In

When I saw Moussa I understood
what the American consul meant when
he spoke of a drivers face, says Mac
millan's Magazine. I had called on
the consul few days before with Kha-
led, the camel dealer, who supplies

the Journey between BagdGd and

the impression that Khaled was TO

rowed and pitted with years OF ex-
posure to the fiery heat of August and

tionless that were 1t not for slight
twitching of the mouth you would

thoughts turned instinctively to Nous

bers of thornbush fire, as patient as
fate. He looked like one who had
been devoted from his youth to great
trust. in which his life centored. /
cannot remember ever having seen
Moussa or the camel asleep. Moussa
never looked quite comfortable when
out of the saddle: the jogging swing
OF the camel was second nature to
him, and / have no doubt that he
