ESTERHAZY rs IN PARIS.
Arrived Last Night to Testify in the
Dreyfus Case.
Rotterdam, Jan. 1S.-Major Comte
Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy started
for Paris this evening.

Paris, Jan. 16.-Major Comte Ferdi-
nand Walsin Esterhazy arrived this
evening to testify before the court of
cessation in the Dreyfus inquiry. Sew
eral newspaper men met him at the
railroad station, but he declined to be
interviewed.
Soir to-day publishes another inter
view with General Mercier, who was
minister for war at the time Of the
condemnation of Dreyfus General
Mercier reiterates his former statements
and reasserts that the bordereaux was
certainly the work of Dreyfus and not
of Esterhazy, who was not aware Of
it's existence until long subsequent to
the trial. Under the plea Of protesting
secrecy he declined to explain how the
war officers obtained the bordereaux.
The secret dosier, he said, consisted Of
war ministry documents fully proving
the differences deduced from the border
eaux. The suggestion that it contained
letters from a foreign sovereign he
characterized as pure invention, as
was also, he declared, the statement
that M. Casimir Perier resigned the
presidency of the republic on account
of the Dreyfus affair. Regarding the
motives that prompted Dreyfus to COM
init the treason imputed, General Mer-
cier said: "Dreyfus was too fond of the
society of women of a certain class.
Had 1t not been for his reputation In
this respect he would have left the mil
itary college among the first three of
his class, but owing to his known i'm
moral proclivities he was only placed
eleventh. I think he resented this, and
that his treason was probably an act of
revenge for it, Dreyfus was also in the
habit Of talking unpatrlotically."

elaborately upon the Newfoundland
difficulty he said:

elaDorately upon the ELECTROMAGNETIC
difficulty he said:
I'm spite of charges to the contrary,
nobody here has the slightest desire to
evade the obligations Of the treaty of
Utrecht, but we do desire that the
rights conferred upon France by that
treaty should not be extended and
abused to the injury of our pocket. If,
when those rights are properly defined,
they are found to possess value for
France, we shall be perfectly willing to
observe them or, If France is willing, to
arrange for their extinction on fair and
reasonable terms of compensation.
Mr.. Chamberlain described in detail
how the French had been continually
encroaching and striving to extend
their claims on the French shore, while
at the same time their interest In the
fishery had been continually decreas-
ing. I'm fact he said, 'by means of
alleged rights, under antiquated trea-
ties, they have strangled our colony OF
Newfoundland and have done 1t with
out a penny of advantage to them
selves If they are sincerely desirous
of amity with England it will be an
easy matter for them to abandon these
antiquated rights for satisfying COM
pensation."
In concluding Mr.. Chamberlain paid
high tribute to the success of Lord
Salisbury's foreign policy, remarking:
"It is cause for satisfaction that two
great nations, Germany and the United
States, both protectionists at home,
have proclaimed their intention to ad-
here to the principle Of the open door
in their foreign possessions. We shall
regard their expansion without jealousy
and shall welcome their cooperation,
and think, without being too sanguine,
we may rely upon their sympathy and
assistance in securing the general adop-
tion of principle to which we attach
so much Importance"

READY TO MOVE.

Our readers will be interested in an
astonishing article, in another column,
from the Chicago Times Herald (McKin-
ley's organ), of last Saturday, which in
dicates the splitting up of the Democracy
of the nation, and the marching of the
free silver element thereof, under the
Popuist banner, in 1900
Some such result seems inevitable The
recent defeat of Altgeld, in Chicago,
shows what Plutocracy can accomplish
when it sets about it. They will pack the
next Democratic national convention, and
if they are short hundred votes or so
they will buy them Bryan is already de-
feated.
A fragment of the Democratic party
can scarcely ask the harmonious Peoples
Party to follow their tattered standards;
but they will be compelled, if they want
united action, to come into the Populist
camp: there they will be treated as friends
and brethren.
We do not attach much importance to
the gossip, as to Details in the foregoing
article: but its great features are I'm
doubtedly true. There must come a
smash-up of the Democratic party; the
Bryan crowd will be BEATEN and they
must 60 somewhere: and where can they
90 except into the Populist camp?
Organize your referendum clubs at
once. everywhere or Plutocracy will put
forth its power to corrupt the Peoples
Party, as it has been corrupting the De-
mocracy
Remember the mighty interests at
stake, involving the whole future OF the
human race.
Organize! Organize! l. D.
