The Transvaal, he said, is anxious to

cause trade is stagnant and the coun-

the British government in bringing

that the Transvaals last dispatch

The Chronicle says: "Extenuation Is
merely an Illogical, shameful dodge to
ease the consciences that were sur
rendered to General Mercier." Ii adds:
1T is idle to talk Of appeasement In
these terms. Injustice is not to be
paliated by extenuating circumstances,
and this piece OF hypocrisy must serve
as fresh stimulus to unflinching ag-
itation."
The Chronicle proposes that ma
tiOnal address expressing sympathy for
Dreyfus be prepared, and 1t offers to
assist In obtaining signatures.
The Standard says: 1.-The verdict Is
a calamity for France In every way.
There can be no rest for the unhappy
country. Saturdays decision will be
the beginning of fresh troubles. 1t may
even lead TO international compiled
tions Of a serious character. Ii is a
gross insult TO Germany. and, less di
rectly, TO Italy. Assuredly Frances
enemies may rejoice over her today.
We are watching the sick bed of
great nation. None can tell what new
and deadly form its malady will as
sumo"
The Times says: I'VE do not hest
tate TO affirm that the sentence is the
grossest and most appalling prostitu-
ton of justice the world has witnessed
in modern times. 1t is a slap in the
face 10 not only two great powers, to
not only the highest judicial body in
France. but TO public opinion of the
civilized world and to the conscience
of humanity. France cannot close
her ears to the voice Of the civilized
world, for il is the voice of history.
She is arraigned ut the bar of a tri-
bunal far higher than that before
which Dreyfus stood. 1t rests with her
to show whether she will undo this
great wrong and rehabilitate her fair
fame, or stand irrevocably condemned
and disgraced by allowing it to be
cOnsummated."
Numerous pulpit references were
made to the Dreyfus verdict, the min
listers echoing the public Indignation.
Among those who denounced the
judgment OF the court martial were
the Rev. Mr. Alexander of New York
at Westminster chapel, the Rev. Hugh
Price Hughes, who denounced 1t as
Jesuitry and scoundrelsm, and Canon

Scenes Of great excitement occurred
at Rennes Saturday night The anti
Dreyfusards broke loose and started a
demonstration which, but for prompt
and rigorous measures by the police,
would undoubtedly have developed in
to serious disorders. About o'clock
the crowds gathered at the Cafe
de la PAX and i'm the square beside it
and the adjacent street. Just then an
incident occurred at the Hotel Mod
erne, which is known as the Dreyfus-
and center. Two men, notorious
anti-Dreyfusards, entered the winter
garden, inside the hotel, and sat down
at one Of the little marble tables under
the palm trees and ordered coffee. At
an adjoining table sat La Dame Blanche
with "A companion, while at other
tables were seated NM. Bernard, Lazare
and Gorzinetti, with other Dreyfus-
ards.
The two newcomers mt once began TO
make offensive remarks about Dreyfus
and Jews generally. One of them,

WHAT WILL THE NEXT BEq
Some Believe 1t VIII BE "A rtion at Once
Move for Revision.

The first thing done by the counsel
of the condemned man after the YER
diet was announced was 10 prepare pa
pers for an application for revision Of
the verdict. Captain Dreyfus signed
this application and Labor and De
mango left Saturday evening for Paris.
The general belief is that Dreyfus will
be pardoned but this will not satisfy
his friends, who vehemently declare
that they will refuse to accept the YER
dict and will continue the battle until
the judgment is reversed The YER
dict, they say. is directed more against
the Jews than against Dreyfus, and If
allowed TO stand will make their ex-
istence in France impossible
There is also the assertion made that
as Dreyfus has been condemned TO ten
years detention and as he has already
suffered five years solitary imprison-
ment, which counts as double the or
binary detention, he probably will be
released at the end of n fortnight
Another question discussed is whether
a new military degradation will be
necessary. Some say IL will. while
others say no; that Captain Dreyfus
was never given back his sword. and
during his trial he wore no epaulets, so
that he technically has neither sword
nor epaulets to be deprived of again.

the inexplicable clause in the verdict
