Paris, May 31.-Three events took
place yesterday, each Of which, without
the others, would have sufaced to
electrify France. All coming togsther,
interest was diffused, and no eonvul-
sion thus far Is apprehended.
One was the landing Of Major Mar
chand at Toulon. The second was the
speech of General Herve and the pro-
csedings generally in the Paris court
of assizes, where the Deroulede- Habert
trial il going on, they being charged
with an attempt to rouse the army to
revolt. The third was the conclusion
of Judge Ballot de Beaupre's report on
the Dreyfus case, read by him before
the court of cessation.
Major Marchand is hailed as hero
by all the enemies Of the republic. He
is contrasted by them with the foreign
minister, M. Delcasse, whose good
sense in the Fashoda matter is stig-
matised as cowardice. To pay ova-
lions to Marchand Ia at once way to
let Of Anglophobe feeling and to be-
little the republic. He was educated
by the religious orders and has been
patronized by the Catholic missions In
Paris, which are only second in i'm
portance to the propaganda In Rome.
It may be that, being man Of humble
birth and uncultured, he will lose his
head and let himself be hoisted into
General Boulanger's saddle. but this Is
improbable Marchand Ia a silent man.
He never asks advice, but after ma
ture thought he acts ON the notion ne
has been rejecting upon. He must
think himself most fortunate, though.
to be ranked so high in the army and
the Legion of Honor and to be the re-
cipient of the exploration prize OF the
academy, Is 900 francs, to say nothing
of the swords of honor, the gold medals
and the ovations.
The call made by M. Drummont to
Parisians to hang out flags in honor
of Marchand has not yet been widely
responded to, but the flags are per-
haps reserved until the hero arrives.
1t is predicted that Marchand will
marry an heiress. leave the marines
| for the line and be entrusted with the
grand command in the French Soudan,
with a mission to watch Lord Kitch-
ener. The Egyptian question being still
open, the Soudan would afford a fine
| field for his energies.
M. Ballot de Beaupre's summing up
| before the court of cessation in favor
| of Dreyfus has not disturbed the town.
1t was a foregone conclusion, but as
the Judgment is to be revised, and
not quashed, there will be new trial
| before court martial, with every
probability of fair trial, and 1t is hard
! to doubt that the result will be ac-
quittal there being no proof against
Dreyfus.
M. Drummont expressed himself this
morning as delighted with the out
come, "inasmuch as the whole affair
shows that the Jews all the world over
will act as one man whenever Jewish
interests conflict with Christian" AS
a matter Of fact, there Is not a single
eminent Dreyfusite who is Jew. Still
the ignorant masses will not see that
this hatred, bred by the Dreyfus af-
fair, is not likely to die.
The main. feature of the Deroulede
trial is the attempt being made to use
It to blacken President Loubet as a
"Panamist. Nothing could be more
disingenuous M. Loubet was never
implicated in Panama affairs. He
with the cognizance of President Car
not, and with his approval, tried t
prevent the exposure of 1874 Republi'
can deputies in 1892 as "Panamists.'
He was minister of the interior ant
able to prevent 1t.
On the day following the suicide o
Baron Reinach the police were abou
to search his papers, which contained
proofs Of parliamentary corruption
Loubet, and Carnot az well, fearet
that the republic would founder If IL
deputies we're prosecuted. The min
lister interfered, and the search was no
made. That was all. But yesterday M
Quesnay de Beaurepaire, who was at
torney general In 1893, spoke in cour
of the president in most disparagln
terms. His drift was to impress tn
Jury with the idea that Deroulede wa
Justified in calling upon General Roge
to march on the Elysee on the day G
NJ Faure's funeral because Loubet ha
been elected president.
