IN THE KAIsER,s HANDS.
How the Empcror's Decision Nigh,
Affect the Dreyfus Case.

| Rennes, Sept. THE salvation OF
Capt. Dreyfus hangs on the word OF
Emperor William. This is the genra]
opinion here. If the kaiser consents to
allow Col. Schwartzkoppen, the German
military attache at Paris in 1894, to tes-
thy before the court martial, or to send
deposition, or, what is considered still
more probable, to allow his deposition
to be accompanied by the actual docu-
ments mentioned in the bordereau. then
Dreyfus is saved.
| II the emperor, however, decides that
1t is not to the interest of Germany for
Col. Schwartzkoppen to intervene,
then the Dreyfus case is hopeless and
his condemnation is certain.
| The eyes of France are looking across
the frontier to Stuttgart, where the kai-
Ser is stopping, anxiously awaiting his
decision. He is in position OF the
spectators of gladiatorial combat in
the Coliseum in ancient Rome, with
Dreyfus lying at the foot of his antago-
mist watching whether the emperor
points his thumb up or down.
To all intents and purposes. Emperor
William stands as the arbiter of the in
ternal peace of France, for every one
anticipates that King Humbert will
follow his lead. This is probably the
explanation of the delay. Emperor
William has gone to Wurtemburg, from
Alsace-Lorraine King Humbert is at
Turin. Communication between the
two monarchs is. therefore, somewha
complicated. and as they will undoubt-
edly agree upon Identical measures In
replying to NJ. Laborrs appeal, it is
possible that several days will elapse
before their decision is known.
The opinion generally held here is
that Emperor William and King Hum
bert will allow Coils. acknowledgment
and Panizzardi to be examined by a
rogatory commission and their deposit
tions to be sent to Rennes with supple
mentary evidence from the originals of
Esterhazy's reasonable communica-
tions.
The anti -Dreyfusards are extremely
|exasperated at what they characterize
as Labori's trick" He had long been
seeking an excuse to invoke the inter-
vention of the German and Italian SOW
ereigns and seized the appearance OF
Cernuschi as his opportunity, declaring
that the admission Of evidence OF this

1.-THE Transyaal has an ominous note of
Irritation and impatience. which at such
. critical stage can scarcely be inter-
Ipreted as anything but defiance Both
here and at Cape Colony the tension
land arming continues. Whether tomor-
rows cabinet meeting will afford i'm
mediate relief is still question of great
doubt. The more conservative believe
the cabinet will only put time limit
upon the negotiations. The Morning
Post contains special dispatch from
Pietermaritzburg, capital of Natal, say
ing an ultimatum will be forwarded to
the Boers. This Is scarcely credible,
however, as every well-informed source
here believes the cabinet will decide
upon the advisability of an ulti,matum.
Simla, Sept. 7.-Three regiments of
cavalry, four of infantry and three bat
teries of field artillery have been for

Conflicting Reports.

London, Sept. THE Diggers' News
the official Boer organ, says:
We can state that the diplomatic
correspondence between the Transvaa
and the colonial office is of a reassurine
nature; tha. the dispute has narrowed
to an issue which should make a settle
lnent possible. even speedy. The Trans
vaal is preparing for eventualities, but
remains hopeful of peaceful settle
ment."'
Nothing which can be learned here
tends to confirm the foregoing state
ment, and owing TO the pro- Boer source
from which it emanated it is regarded
with suspicion.
The Pail Mall Gazette's Cape Town
special says:
1T is believed in Afrikander circles
here that the Transvaal intends forcing
matters to sudden issue that war may
possibly break out within twenty-four
hours. 1t Is supposed their first act
will be an advance on Laings Neck
(sole route from the Transvaal to Ma
tab. 1t is also rumored that there is a
plot at Pretoria simultaneously to blow
up the British agency there"
The Pail Mall Gazette has not been
conspicuous for accuracy in South At
rican news.

given in regard to the mobilization Of
British troops on the Transvaal from
tier.
New York. Sept. THE World pub
fishes this morning the following dis
patch from Paul Kruger, president of
the South African republic in response
to a message sent by that paper:
The present agitation against
this republic emanates partly from
certain section of British residents
to whom the existence of the repub-
lie. which embraces the most
hourishing parts of South Africa,
is standing eyesore, and who suf-
fer from prevailing jingo mania,
partly also from the mining capi-
talists, who, not content with hav-
ing here the best mining laws in the
world, wish also to have complete
control Of all the legislation and
administration.
The franchise voting question
was taken up by England because it
was thought the republic would not
yield on that point. The object
clearly is the destruction of our re-
public and the complete control OF
the richest mines in the world.
We are determined to defend to
the utmost that freedom and self
government for which our people
have shed their blood in every part
of South Africa"

FOR BANKER CROSS WIDOW
1t Rains Dollars for Awhile at the
Hereford Show.

Kansas City, No, Oct. 26.-DoIars
rained for three minutes in the sale ring
at the Hereford show today. 1t was the
elimination of a scene that was entirely
foreign to a stock sale. The money was
for Mrs. Kate Wilder Cross, widow Of the
late Charles s. Cross founder of the Sun
nyslope kansas stock farm, and one OF
the most noted breeders in the country.
When Cross last fall found that he could
no longer keep up under a weight Of debt
which wrecked him and the Emporia Ma
tional bank, OF which he was president,
he shot himself His widow promptly
turned over to his creditors all that she
possessed Finally one calf, Bonnie Prince,
a Hereford OF fine lineage reverted 70 Mrs.
Cross She today put the animal up for
sale. When Auctioneer Colonel Woods
asked for bids. an offer OF 500 was made.
Immediately a spirited contest began, the
representative OF Marshall Field Of Chi
cago finally bidding $500. Then Colonel
Slaughter of Fort Worth, Texas. stepped
into the ring and, throwing silver dollar
into the sawdust near where Bonnie
Prince stood called on those present to
throw in a dollar as a little present for
the brave little woman" Dollars fairly
rained and when they were gathered up
they filed a peck measure. Then Mrs.
Pauline Whitman, whose late husband. c.
\. Whitman was one Of the great Here
ford breeders of the country. offered to
add 500 to the highest price bid for Bon
ME Prince. 1t was announced that Mar
