COLONEL JOUd UST,S CTION.

The action yesterday of Colonel
 Jouaust president of the court-martial
 which has the fate of Dreyfus in it's
 hands, gives everybody a chance to guess again M. Labori read an appli
 cation saying that as considerations of public policy prevented the appearance of Colonel Schwartzkoppen and Major Panizzardi before the court-martial commissions should be sent to examine them in order to permit those officers to state under oath all that they knew in regard to the case. M. Labori urged the importance of the testimony of these two witnesses, whom, he declared, he would not have cited if Cernuschi had not been called. The court retired to deliberate on the motion, and on it's re- ment. It declared that the President of the court alone was competent to ap point a commission to interrogate Colo nel Schwartzkoppen and Major Paniz- zardi, and the court unanimously pro- nounced itself incompetent to give ef- feet to counsePs motion. M. Labori asked Colonel Jouaust whether, seeing that he alone was competent, he refus- ed to grant the application. Amid pro- longed excitement Colonel Jouaust re- piled: II do."
 Does this mean that the court has come to the conclusion that Dreyfus is guilty, or does it mean that the court thinks no more evidence is needed to show that he is not guilty? It doesn't | oner unless the court is going to acquit | him. We shall soon know. l

not surprising, seeing that they are borne by many Frenchmen of position and real distinction. Indeed, it is al- most traditional that every French Ambassador to the Court of the Vat lean should be created Count by the Pope, and 1t is only few months since the customary distinction was conferred upon M. Poubelle. It would be il'-bred to refuse-almost impossible, indeed, as 1t would be for French President to decline the honorary canonry of St. John Lateran. M. Loubet, like his pre- decessors, is, indeed, already a Canon of the Lateran.-Pall Mall Gazette.

F.lSHION NOTES.
Looking Ahead to Winter.

A good guess can now be had at the general character of the winter gown. There will be no startling innovation, though there is sure, of course, to be some subtle alteration of outline that will differentiate 1900 from 1899 As to details, there is some measure of reliable information. It is the final blend that cannot be settled for some months
 Sleeves with shoulders set well up over the round of the arm and fitted as far as possible to conform to the arm line will extend well oyer the hand, usually without elaboration at the wrist. This means a very long arm. The high shoulder or short shoulder seam, may often be obviated in its narrowing effect by shoulder pieces or extended revers.

Amos l.. Allen, for many years Speak CT Reeds private secretary, wants to go to congress from the first Maine dis trict, and a rather curious attack has been made upon him on the theory that he was part and parcel of the ex-Speak- CTS opposition to the administration. A pamphlet, which was prepared by a prominent Republican of Portland, Maine, says that the constituents of MT. Reed were treated with scant courtesy in the letter of resignation. No reasons were given and no thanks uttered for the many honors bestowed. The pamph- let declares as follows: What is now required of congress, more than at any time since the period of reconstruction after the Rebellion, is statesmanship of the pure American type. We want no personal politics now, no ant-adminis- tration candidate, no man who will cast a suspicion upon the stalwart Republic anism of the first Maine district We want, and must have. a candidate who will heartily and spontaneously support our Republican president and congress and who has the intellectual strength td ably do It.
 It is little rough on Mir. Allen to charge him with MT. Reeds offenses, but politics is rough game. It is also q very smooth game.

The address of MT. Russell the presi- dent of the American Bankers associa- tion, contained some remarkable state ments concerning the development of banking in the West In the state of Michigan, for example, there were in 1899 national banks to the number of BO. state banks numbering 1855, and three trust companies. During the wear ending with June the deposits in these banks increased nearly $21,000000, over $8,000,000 being deposited in saw ings banks. During the six months from January to July the deposits rose from $12S,O0O,0 ,0OO to over $140,0O0,000 or nearly $13,OO0y0OO. This rate of increase, the president thought, had taken place throughout the great states. of the west. and it explains the fact that in- terest rates have recently been lower in central and far western cities than in New York. This year, MT. Russell maintained, and probably for the flu lure, Eastern capital will not be needed to move the crops"

The Agricultural department of Geor- gia is ambitious to make that State something of rival to Louisiana in sugar production. It is believed that the section lying south of Macon, both east and west, is peculiarly fitted to the production of sugar cane. In some sec tions cane is already raised to the ex- clusion of other staple products, but so far no attention has been paid to the raw material save in the production of syrup, which is sold at very low price. By the making of sugar the price now gained from the raw material would be trebled, and the introduction of refineries, on small scale at first is urged. To interest the farmers, as al- so the business men, in the subject, a campaign will be begun next month, when Dr. w. c. Stubbs of the sugar ex- pertinent station in Louisiana, Prof. H. C. White of Georgia University, and other men familiar with the sugar cane Industry, will make addresses through put the State.

According to the returns issued by the London board of trade for the last quar- ter, 7200O emigrants embarked for places outside Europe from the various offices of the united kingdom at which emigration offices are stationed. The proportions in which England, Scotland and Ireland took part in this exodus may be roughly stated as being, for every two Englishmen, three Scotsmen and twelve Irishmen. It is significant to note that, in comparison with similar terms for the last three years, the Eng fish emigration rate shows this year decrease of per cent, the Scottish an increase of Az per cent, and the Irish an increase of + per cent.

By recent decision of the United States Supreme court the county of Gunnison, Colorado, will be compelled to pay for an issue of bonds repudated in 1886. The original amount was $175,- 900, and the county commissioners have been ordered to levy an assessment at once to cover 80 per cent. of this amount and 8 per cent. compound interest in addition, making total of s350,000.
