Does Not Cause Excitement.

The Dreyfus affair appears to have
iost the power of producing any un-
usual excitement. The scene in the court

emn religious ceremony, and the elaborate
precautions to prevent the expected riotous
demonstrations proved quite unnecessary

was happening in the assembly. The judges

tureSQue. President Nassau and NJ. Ballot
de Beaupre, with their clean shaven coun-
tenances, resembled fine types of high &C.
clesaStics. On either side of them were
spread out twenty red robed councillors.
The entrance of the judges reminded one
of cathedral procession. A group of
summer costumed ladies gave touch of
small audience that could be accommodate
ed We're General Chanoine, former min
ster of war, and the mother of Dreyfus,
who was dressed in black.
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre read his report
amid religious silence and In tones of clear
ness and distinctness. The most charac-
teristic feature of his address is d scrupu-
lous impartiality. The first days task was
to summarize the ground and to classify
and explain the documents in his bulky
portfolio. Tomorrow he will give his per-
sonal opinion in the matter; but his aim
appears to be to let the evidence speak
ing to Illness, and the general belief is
that revision is secured.
The De Roulede trial presented vio-
