mo JUSTICE IN france.
The Supporters Of Dreyfus No Longer
Entertain Hope that Justice
Will be Done.
VIEWS OF A PROMINENT REvIsloMIs1.
Seutlm ent Rather than Reason Governs the
Majority Of French chmen-Mi'li0ns Ready
to Insist Upon Dreyfu Guilt In Spite of
Proof to the Contrsry-Ruined by Dis.
reputable Adhersnts.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The most ardent
supporters of the, theory that Drey-
fus was unjustly condemned now ad-
nit that there is no longer the least
hope that justice will be done.
A prominent member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, who, from the first has
been militant champion of revi-
sion of the trial, says:
A MATTER OF SENTIMENT.
For ninety-nine out of hundred
Frenchmen, the guilt or innocence OF
Dreyfus is matter of sentiment.
All the reasoning in the world would
not induce them to change their atti'
tude. There are millions of French
men who will insist upon Dreyfus
guilt in spite of any proof to the con-
trary. A feature of the situation is
that the attitude of this majority is
dictated by motives which they be-
lieve to be deserving of the highest
respect. l admit that some of the
Dreyfusards are much to blame fol
this. The best cause may be ruined
by disreputable adherents, and there
are men on the Dreyfus side of whom
every patriotic Frenchman is the
natural enemy.
A PESTILENT MINORITY.
"While the majority of us have beer
merely demanding that justice shoult
be doue. a pestilent minority ha!
made this demand an excuse for viru
lent onslaughts on institutions W.
hold in great esteem"
In conclusion, the member of th'
university predicted that the resnl
of the agitation will be IAN on
slaught of unparalleled violence OF
the Jews, as the masses are convinced
that they are at the bottom of tn
whole trouble"

An Incident ut the GuillotIniny OF Albert
Psusnss. Who Murdered Woman
and Boy, ut Paris.

Paris, Feb. 1.-Albert Peugnez,
youth who murdered a woman and
boy, was guillotined here. The fact
is notable as being the last execution
which is to take place on the place de
la Roquette. the famous execution
place of Paris. An immense crowd OF
people witnessed the beheading OF the
murderer and there was much ribald
rowdyism during the night.
As Peugnez's head was being ad'
iusted into the grillotine he shouted:
II will never confess. I will never
con-" here the knife fell and the
sentence was never completed.

OlutiOn:

St. Louis, Feb. 1.-Incidental to ito
inquiry into the conduct of the Of
fee of the excise commissioner the
"Lexow" committee are delving into
the composition of the Valley Liquor
Co., which appears to be made up OF
prominent office holders, under the
direction of Louis c. Nelson. brother
in-law of Gov. Stephens. There seems
to be an under-current of belief that
the Valley Liquor Co. and the excise
commissioner Office are in some way
related, and the efforts of the "Lexow"
committee appear to be directed to es-
tablishing the connection, if it really
exists.
