and he didn't seem to want to part
from him until one Of the girls called
to Eim. He patted his son on the head
es he walked away, and. half dozen
yards away, turned his head to get a
last glimpse at the boy. He saw him
stepping into the Belmont carriage, to
be driven home to his mother.
Just when Mr.. Belmont will leave this
country, to follow his wife abroad.
could not be ascertaIned yesterday.
That he will not remain here long Is
undoubted. It was said that his lnten.
ton had been to leave here with his
wife and young Harold, on the Oceanic,
which viii not sail from here until jan
uary "a. But something occurred to
make this impossible, and then Mr..
Belmont busied himself In so arranging
his affairs that he might be in a posi-
ton to go at an earlier date.
How long the Belmonts intend to re-
main abroad has not been stated. Con-
slderIng Mr.. Belmont's political asplra-
tons, It IL believed he will be back in
this country before the presidential
campaign is In full swing.
AT the home of the Belmonts, No. 677
Fifth avenue, 1t was said last night
that Mr.. and Mrs. Belmont were at a
dinner party.

The changes in prices to-day were
largely due to operations by board
room traders. The erratlc fluctuations
in the market reflected the uncertainty
of this class Of spectators. They sold
the market at the opening on the lower
prices from London. The substantial
character of the buying demand which
they met and the consequent refusal Of
the market to go down caused them to
turn to the long side. The highly mer-
curlal specialtles were the favorites in
the dealings and some of them were bid
UP in a rather sensational manner.
Metropolitan Street Railway, Sugar
and Brooklyn Transit were the most
conspicuous features Of the market all
day. The rise In these was so consld-
cradle as to invite the realizing of pro-
Ats towards the closing of the day.
This caused the market to run off at
the cost of large part Of the earlier
gains established. The November
statement of St. Pauls earnings, show
ing the increase in the gross earnings
more than wiped out with resulting
decrease in the net return of over S7s,-

The sensations predicted for the Sec
ond public session of the Dreyfus court
martial were not wanting. The whole
days proceedings were of a nature tn
appeal strongly to lovers of drama and
the melodramatic. Those who have been
complaining of the passive, unemo-
tionai nature of the prisoner, will do
so no longer. AT the close of Mercier's
examination, the scapegoat of French
militarism sprang from his chair, and
with complete forgetfulness of mis-
studied self-restraint, defied the chief
of the living band of conspirators
whose Vaccinations had sent
him to exile. An outburst of
applause followed the prisoners words
and the incident formed the first great
sensation of the second process, Drey-
fus.
The other sensation of the day was
when ex-President Casimir-Perier vir-
tually gave the lie to MERCER and
begged the judges that he be allowed
to confront MERCER in Mondays ses-
sion.
The real importance of the days pro-
ceedings was the failure of MERCER and
other anti Dreyfusite witnesses to
make good their boasts of being able
to adduce conclusive evidence against
him. Not one iota Of valid evidence
was brought forward by them. This
means that MERCER and his clique are
discredited, and that the unearthing OF
scandal in high quarters of the French
army has just begun. 1t also means
that Dreyfus' acquittal is assured. In
fact the day marks turning point IN
popular opinion. Even Col, Jouaust,
who, during the early portion of the
court martial treated Dreyfus 50
brusquely, now returns the latter's sa-
lutes and shows a disposition to treat
him with the Difference due a brother

THE DEMOCRATIC MIDDLE

The statement is made that Governor
Altgeld of Illinois will stump the state
Of Kentucky for Ex-Governor Brown.
the silver candidate for governor. Com
ing Immediately after the announce
ment that Bryan will stump the state
for Goebel the regular nominee, it looks
as If the boy orator and his former
stanch henchmen are about to break.
and politicians are asking the meaning
of this latest phase of the democratic
muddle. Things are indeed in a con-
fused state. Following Bryans an
nouncement Of his intention to stick to
the silver issue, we find him coming
out for the gold candidate in Ken
lucky. Altgeld, on the other hand who
only last week, in an interview. pro-
claimed that silver should be side
tracked, is now pleading the cause az
a silver nominee.
Whatever else 1t may mean this all
goes to show that Altgeld no longer has
the influence with the Nebraskan Iaadar
he formerly had. His weak campa,en
for the Chicago mayoralty detaroned
MIN as leader Of the Illinois political
machine. Carter Fl. Harrison now co.
cupies the place once filled by Altpe,d
In the democratic counsals. The exnul-
sion Of Press Agent Devlin by the DEM
ocratic national committee clearly
showed desire to placate the Harrison
faction.

The Worcester and Webster Street
Railway Company is looking for SUI
perintendent. Several men have app
piled for the position and are being
examined by the officials as to their ca
pabilities, but no appointment has been
made yet.
Thirty motormen and conductors have
been accepted and are ready to begin
work at moments notice. The cars
which arrived last week are stored in
the barns in Webster, ready for service.
They have been painted in a combina-
ton of different shades of red, to distin-
guish them from other suburban cars,
and are quite handsome in appearance.

All doubt as to the purpose of the
democratic meeting at Saratoga to-
morrow has been removed by the
statement of Joseph ]. Willett of Ala
5ama. THE meeting" said Mr.. Wiilett
will be one of leading anti-Bryan men
from all over the country, and it's OBJ
ject is to save the democratic party
from committing suicide" 1t is not
strange that Mr.. Willett views the, ten
dsncy of the democracy with fears for
its sanity. When the members of that
party decide upon a watering place for
a conference which is to furnish inspir-
alton for the next national campaign, it
is apparent that democratic reason is
tottering and the party headed for the
madhouse or the wharf If the dem
ocracy is to be saved, Mr.. Willett and
other democratic leaders, whose minds
are still vigorous, must bring about a
speedy adjournment of the Saratoga
conference and hasten the leaders over
into Kentucky.
