Dreyfus made some confessions in the
early part of the first trial that are on
record and will be- brought out at the
proper time, which compromise him to
degree, although not sufficiently to
sustain the severe sentence of the mill
tary trial.
Religion enters into the question to
a marked degree and the most intense
interest is manifested. From what he
has heard, Mr.. WheeloclS is inclined 10
believe that Capt. Dreyfus is not en-
tirely the honorable gentleman that he
should be, occupying the distinguished
office that he does.
The French laws give q defendant
the right to question witnesses and
make statements which in many cases
bring Out facts which might be over
looked in ordinary court procedure.
At the close of his business in
France, Mr.. Wheelock attended the an
nual convention Of the Iron and Steel
Institute at Manchester. The conven-
ton lasted four days. In addition to
the reading and discussion of scientific
papers, members Of the institute took a
trip down the Manchester ship canal,
which Mr.. Wheelock characterizes as
one of the greatest feats of modern en-
cheering skill. The canal Is 80 feet
deep and admits vessels drawing 20 feet

Of water. Daniel Adams, the senior
member of the firm that manufactures
| the Wheelock engine in England, was
at the head of the movement for this
canal, which was finally put through
after the bill had been rejected three
times. The Bridgewater canal, a
smaller issue, crosses over the main ca
| nal, and when a vessel is passing up
or down, a piece is literally cut out Of
the smaller canal while the boats are
passing.
The party also visited Chatsworth,
summer home of the Duke of Devon
shire. The duke was the first presi-
dent of the Iron and Steel Institute, and
the visitors were entertained in royal
style. MIR. Wheelock brought home a
neat souvenir of the occasion in the
shape of a medal bearing the likeness
of Queen Victoria. The custom of is
suing medals each year was instituted
by Henry Bessemer. the great steel
man, who made certain provisions that
medal should be awarded each year
to such subject as the council might
designate. This year it was decided.

Alderman James F. Carberry will Of

Here is the order: THAT the city en-

plan, the proposed change will provide
for a small Park or ornamental plot at

THE EXPOSITION WILL Be GREAT.
Interest in the Dreyfus
Case Is Intense in
Paris.

Jerome Wheelock of Wheelock engine
fame returned to Worcester yesterday
after months business trip through
England and France.
Mr.. Wheelock sailed Aug. and ar
rived in Boston in the New England of
the Dominion line Friday. He reports
pleasant voyage and speaks in high
est terms of the accommodations and
appointments of the New England,
which Mr.. Wheelock considers one of
the best ocean liners. The return trim
would have been accomplished in ex-
actly seven days. but for a dense fog
which necessitated staying outside until
Friday morning, when the fog lifted.
Mr.. Wheelock says business .cendi-
tons in France and England are excep-
tionally good, and that the firms who
manufacture his engines are doing
more business than for years past, es-
pecially in England, where a great
many OF the larger engines are being
turned out. Mr.. Wheelock landed in
Liverpool and started at once for Paris,
where he had an excellent opportunity
to observe preparations for the coming
exposition.
All classes seem to have taken a per-
sonal interest in the event, and are do
ing all in their power to make the occa-
sion the most noteworthy of the age.
Notices have been posted in rooms of
Paris hotels notifying guests that dur
ing the exposition rates will advance
francs a day. This advance is not
confined to the hotels alone, but ex-
tends to the steam railroads, cab lines
and nearly all branches of business,
representatives of which have contrib
uted a special tax to the general fund
assessed for exposition expenses. Mr..
Wheelock is of the opinion that the ex-
ira charges will be more than made up
to those who visit Paris next year in
the excellence of the exhibition
The degree of art attained in fitting
up the grounds surpasses the plastic
arrangement of the Chicago fair by far.
In the suburbs of Paris people are do
ing all in their power in the way of
decoration. The work goes on night
and day and Sundays, all working with
one idea in view to make the exposition
grand success and to impress on Wis
itors the idea that Paris is the grand
est city in the world.
Everyone is a ticket seller. Early in
the year 35,O0O,000 francs worth of 10
ySdi pciuo NciS ioSuVN " SdNH VI WHICH
is attached 25 tickets. The bonds bear
no interest, but are guaranteed by the
government and in this way the finan-
cial question is settled.
Mr.. Wheelock gives as his opinion
that the republic of France was never
so secure as at the present time. The
action of the United States during the
trying times of the past year has been
closely observed by French people and
has produced marked effect in France
Mr.. Wheelock had an excellent chance
to observe the excitement in France
relative to the Dreyfus case and says
that people in this country have no
idea of the feeling that exists In France.

stall Bicycle Trust Talk.
The lver Johnson Company which is
the only prominent bicycle factory in
New England outside the bicycle trust,
has issued its prospectus for the year
1900, and is in the lead in the announce
ment of prices and business policy. 1t
has been the custom for a number of
years for'tile various bicycle tnanufac-
turers to announce their schedule of
prices about the first of December, and
the Fitchburg company is thus early in
the field to forestali any trust talk
that might be started in opposition.
The company announces that it is
and always shall remain perfectly in
dependent of any combination of BIZ
cycle interests, and states that it is en-
tirely outside the influence of any COM
bination or pool. The schedule of
prices for the coming year includes
wheels at various prices from the S25
high grade wheel, which was manufac-
tured the present year to compete with
the trust, to the 1900 model chainless
wheel, which has been reduced to $50.
The announcement is made that the
company is prepared to double its out
put for the coming year, and is out now
