of cessation, has resigned his position in consequence of a disagreement regarding the Dreyfus inquiry. ->-
 London, January, 1l99::-@-The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily News says:
 The action of M. Quesnay De Beaure- patre in resigning is astounding. He throws up one of the easiest and most honorable posts and salary of 1000 pounds year, which might have gone on indefinitely at time of life when men cease to be for tunate if they plunge into new ventures. It is believed that he intends to stand for the senate the academy and later for the presidency of the republic"
 Paris, Jnauary 10.-The Echo de Paris this morning publishes statement by M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire, of the reason for his resignation of the presidency of the civil section of the court of cessation. In a long document he virtually protests against what he suggests is a conspiracy on the part of the court of cessation to exon- crate Dreyfus. But he practically admits his partiality by declaring that his res s'g- nation was intended to avenge the army and it's generals for the sufferings they have had to endure in silence.
 London, January 10.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily Graphic says:
 'It really seems as if the Dreyfus affair can only move by earthquakes. Undoubt- edly the action of M. Quesnay de Baure- paire will precipitate crisis which may prove the gravest that the Dreyfus affair has yet evolved"
 The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mall says:
 ''Today's revelations of various kinds tend to show that the members of the court of cessation are themselves divided into two fiercely determined factions. M Quesnay de Beaurepaire's explanation of the causes for his resignation will probably lead to the fall of the cabinet. since he complains bitterly of the way M. LeBret the minister of justice conducted the inter- view with him. He offered to tne minister a statement of the relations between M. LeBard, of-the criminal branch of the court of cessation and Colonel Picquart.
 London, January 10.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Times says:
 "Of all the scandals produced by the Dreyfus affair, this of the resignation of M. Quesnay De Beaurepaire is certainly the greatest. What is beyond doubt is that the nationalists, who have not single man whose name was imposing or whose ability was dangerous now appear to have found a chief although his aim is still far from clear. With Quesnay De Beaurepalre leading the nationaists and anti-Semites, Paul DeRoulede leading the League of Pa- triots, and Godefrey Cavaignacc at the head of the Patre Franchise, the republic escapes will have a hard time,'

To Proclaim Liberty and Justice

We propose to proclaim liberty and jus tice and human rights in the Philippines or wherever else the flag of this country shall be planted Who will haul those prin- ciples down?
 No, MT. President, this entire argument of the senator from Massachusetts is a spectre, conjured up. by him in support of his position. 1 cannot be accused of not loving justice and pity and unselfshness as devoutly as the senator from Massachusetts love them. 1 shall meet the responsibilities that are to arise in connection with this great question within the spirit of the dec- laration of independence and the constitu- tion, and could never be persuaded to do otherwise
 Mir Hoar replied to the statement of Mr Platt reiterating and elucidating some of the points of his speech which he conceived MT Platt had misunderstood.
 Mr. McLaurin gave notice that he would address the senate Friday on the subject of the extension of American territory.
 The Nicaraguan canal bill was then taken up and Mir Caffery continued his speech in opposition to it. Mir Caffery, in reply to MT. Chiffon, said that he did not want an isthmian canal constructed jointly by the United States and Great Britain but he believed the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to be in as complete force now as when 1t was first negotiated.
 Messrs. Bacon, Money and Chiffon en- gagged in a general discussion of the bind ing power of treaties in general.
 Mr. Chiffon called attention to the fact that Great Britain had distinctly declined to abrogate the Clayton -Bulwer treaty Under the amendment offered by Mr. Caffery, the abrogation of the treaty was necessary, and if Great Britain should per- sist in her refusal he would like to know how the canal was to be constructed
 MT. Caffery waived answer to this in- quiry and continued his discussion of the canal itself.
 At the close of MT. Cafferys speech MT. Morgan, in charge of the bill. attempted to fix a time for the beginning of the vote upon the measure and pending amend ments. He suggested that the time be at 3>p on the 11th inst, but MT. Caffery ob- jctd
 MT Morgan then gave notice that tomor- row, if no arrangement could be made for a vote, he would ask the friends of the measure to stand with him until it was passed.
 The senate then. at 4:45 p. m., went into executive session and at 4:55 P. m. ad- journed.

The financial showing Of the recent
31.ine Music Festival is not encouraging
In Bangor tile receipts were 500, So less
rhau tie expenditures, not including any
compensation for Prof. hapman In
Portland the receipts exceeded the expen-
clitures by some three hundred dollars. OF
course these festivals have an education
al value not to be rech oned in dollars and
cents; but it is evident that they cannot
be continued without the dollars. One
plan suggested Tor the future is not to
have SO many high priced artists; and
some one has expressed the opinion that
more money would be realized if tickets
We're sold at a lower rate. 1t has also been
suggested that the Bangor festival be dis
continued, and have three days in Portland !;

will no doubt raise a guarantee fund to en-
sure the continuance of the festivals there.
At the annual meeting of the Eastern

there were thirty members in the Belfast
chorus, which would probably increase,
and that they were working with great

A 1'ruitless Quest for Bit of Glass. The

We do not know the technical name for
it, but it was simply circular piece
of plate glass with beveled edge, that
fitted inside a silver butter dish. 1t ought
to last several life times, but the one in
question was hit with sledge hammer, or
carelessly left under pile driver, and re-
duced to fragments. All efforts to re-
indispensable article were in vain; and
finally the man of the house determined
to 90 to Boston and get one, and the story
of his quest seems worth the telling. In

James Plummer, says that from the re-
turns received it is his opinion that the
State valuation has increased over 50, OOO,-
900 Tor this year alone. This is not what
would be called Cd DOM" growth, but is
d healthy increase such as marks pros
perous condition of affairs in every indus

''We have found among other things"
said Nj. Plummer, THAT there has been
an increase this year of over 5000 COWS,
while horses have decreased in number.
This is true not only here in Maine, but
all over the country, SO | am told. The
breeding of horses has decreased very
rapidly in Maine in the last few years, but
it will increase in the years to come. The
day of the horse is not ended by any
means and the Maine farmer will again
find it profitable to raise horses.
