EMILY CRAWFORD.

Many Of the letters and reports of the
Dreyfus trial published in American
newspapers are signed "Emily Crawford.
AS little is known about this exceedingly
clever and gifted woman journalist In
this country, newspaper makers and In
telligent resders generally will be inter
ested in some account Of her life, and. the
success she has won as reporter, jour-
nalist and author.
Mrs. Crawford is the daughter Of An
drew and Grace tombstone, and was
born In Dublin, Ireland. Her education
was home one until she went to Paris
in 1867. Her reading was extensive, and
when young girl she was engaged &c
write q daily letter to the Morning Star.
she married, in 1864. George Morland
Crawford, of Chelsfield Court Lodge,
Kent land member OF Lincoln,s Inn who
was then Paris correspondent of the Daily
News.
After her marriage she greatly aided
her husband in his work, remained In
France during the war of 1870, and was
in Paris during the communal civil war.
She frequently contributed leading and
miscellaneous articles TO the Daily News
and wrote for many papers, besides
English and American magazines aud
reviews; among others Truth the Illus
trated London News, . the Illustrated
journal, the Pail Mall Gazette, the New
York Tribune, the Gentleman's Magazine,
the Century and Maomillan's, to which
she furnished. In October, 1877, mon O
graph on M. Theirs. She also wrote the
biography of that statesman which ap-
peared after his death In the Daily News.
Mrs. Crawford's first review article
was asked for by the editor of the Museum
of Edinburgh, ON the suggestion of the
ate Matthew Arnold, who, when he
made it. WAS not acquainted with her,
but had been struck with some observa.
tions which she had made on the weak
side of the system of higher education In
France, and had entered into a CORES
pom dence with her on the subject. Mrs
Crawford has also contributed to the
Contemporary and Universal Review and
Subjects of the Day. Mrs. Crawford
was proposed for the Gross Of the Legion
of Honor, but preferred that the decora,
tion offered her should be given to her
son, Robert Crawford.

The Presidents ides, as gathered by
correspondent OF Harper's Weekly, from
several conversations with him, is to
introduce the Cubans to self government
gradually, and not all at once through
a constitutional convention. He would
try them first by turning over to them
the governments of some cities and
towns. Then, II they succeed, he would
extend the experiment to the provinces,
and finally turn the government of the
whole island over to them. This seems
plan which has much to recommend 1t.
10 turn the whole government over to
them all at once would very likely put
upon them a strain which they could
not stand, and If failure resulted, las
very likely would be the case, it would
be likely to be regarded In this country
as demonstrating their unfitness for self
government. and would probably be the
means of postr oning for very long
time, II not indefinitely, any further
experiment in that line. If they
are allowed to grow up gradual
" to the work, as the Presidents plan
Contemplates, they will bs more likely
to achieve success In the end. Those
people who are anxious for the annexa-
tion of Cuba would undoubtedly prefer
that self government should be thrown
upon It's Inhabitants all at once, since
they have every reason to feel confidence
that under such circumstances 1t would
break down and lead to such disorder
that the United States would have to step
in again. The Presidents plan is I'M
doubtedg we'll adapted to bring about
successful self-goyernment in the island,
but as 1t involves an exercise of consider
able patience on the part of the leaders
there we question If 1t proves popular
with the Cubans.

Tor the past two days the drift of
opinion of those who have been watching
the Dreyfus trial has been more favorable
fer acquittal than 1t was the first of the
week. This has been due largely to the
testimony of Col Picquart aud the m ag-
ietrate Bertullus. both of whom gave
s'reng evidence in favor of the prisoner.
The chief difficulty of form ing judg-
ment in regard to the outcome of the
trial Is uncertainty as to the impair
TALLY of the judges and their disposition
tc abide by the evidence. The fact that
tine caurt Is u military one is unfavor-
able to the prisoner. inasmuch as In some
way 1t has come to be generally accepted
by army officers that the honor of the
army Is involved in the trial, and that an
acquittal will discredit 1t. On the other
hand the present ministry is showing
signs of being favorable to Drsyfus, or at
least to giving him fair trial, aud this
fact may mitigate tie effect of the
prejudice which as officers of the
army the court may entertain TO-
ward the accused. As evidence is I'M
derstood in this country but precious
little has been given against Dreyfus, but
three or four ex-war ministers have
denounced him vigorously and expressed
themselves as convinced of his guilt.
There is preponderanoe of opinion
against tho accused, but there is not only
not a preponderanoe of evidence but
scarcely none at all so far.

bonds brought face and drew 6 per

$500 for the blank bonds. Now
the issue al S per cent is sold at n
premium of SIs35, the buyer
furnishing his own bonds. The
