THE INCIDENT IS CLOSED.
Gen. De Gallifet A~dmonishes French
Soldiers to Forget the Past.

PARIS. Sept. 21.-The minister of war,
General De Gallifet. has addressed an order
to the corps commanders, and 1t will be
read to French soldiers e~verywhere:
"The incident is closed. The military
judges, enjoying the respect of all. have
rendered their verdict with complete indie
pendence. We all. without harboring after
thought. bend to their decision. we shall.
In the same manner, accent the action that

France alone"
The Journal Oficiel to-day publishes the
degree granting a pardon TO Dreyfus. In a
report preceding the decree the Marquis De
Gallifet. minister Of war. points out that
Dreyfus has already undergone five years
deportation, but that. as the law does not
assimilate his deportation with seven years.
solitary confinement, the prisoner would
have to undergo ten years detention. The
minister also calls attention to the fact that
the health OF the prisoner Is seriously COM
promised and that he would not be able,
without great danger. to undergo prolonged
detention. The report Of the war minister
concludes thus: The government will not
have met the wishes of the country. which
desires pacifcation. IL 1t does not hasten to
efface all traces Of the painful conflict. It
belongs to you. NJ. lie Presidente, by an act
of lofty humanity. TO give the first pledge
of the work of appeasement which opinion

His Talk with a Correspondent Who
Travelled with Him from Bor-

ADVICE TO FRENCH ARMY
SOLDIERS WARNED THERE MUST BE
NO FURTHER REPRIsALS.
Urged to Remember the Dreyfus In
cident Is Closed and to Think
Solely of the Future.

PARIS, Sept. 21.-A dispatch from Car
pentras, department of Vaucluse, says that
former Captain Dreyfus arrived there this
morning and went to the home of M. Vala-
brogne, his brother-in-law, who has been
established as a cloth merchant In Carpen-
tras for a quarter of a century, was soon
known. No demonstration occurred. M
Dreyfus is expected there tonight. While
Dreyfus's health does not permit of his
receiving visitors. II Is hoped the climate
will restore his strength during the next few
months. which he Is expected to spend in
Carpentras.
LONDON, Sept. IA correspondent Of
the Daily Mail, who Joined the Dreyfus
party at Bordeaux and accompanied it to
Carpentras, describes Dreyfus as thought
full. prematurely aged, with soft eyes. a
smile like a woman's and rather the ap-
pearance OF a savant than a soldier" When
told OF the great wave OF British sympathy
In his behalf, he wrung the correspondents
hand and showed the deepest emotion. His
health, the correspondent said, is far from
satisfactory. He ate meat to-day for the
first time.
1T is against the Doctors ORDERS" said
Matthew Dreyfus.
"Ah," said the former captain Of artil-
lery. 'let me have a holiday to-day. /
will be sedate and obedient again to-mor-
row. / am just like a boy now, and feel
that ] could run and jump about the green
fields for very joy. Just think! i shall now
be able TO laugh and play with my children
in the beautiful country"
After the meal. despite his brothers half
laughing protest, he smoked several cigars
ito celebrate the holiday"
The sad note amid the rejoicing was the
death Of NJ. Scheurer-Kestner. II am
grieved beyond words" said Dreyfus. 'to
think that / hall never be able to thank
on obtaining his freedom was to have a
wreath sent to be placed on the coffin of
his companion and friend.
At present he speaks little of past events.
He says: II have forgiven. but I cannot
forget" and he intends to devote himself
to proving his innocence. When that has
been accomplished he will only ask to be
with his loved ones, far from the busy
world. His delight at everything on the
Journey" continues the Daily Mails corre-
spondent, was that of a man returning
from the dead to the world he loved. The
affection and solicitude Of his brother are
touching to see. His physical weakness
caused the deepest apprehension to his
friends. The journey was in the main un-
eventful. except for a few expressions of
disappointment on the part of the people
who endeavored to get a glimpse of him."

if he is not sustained by the committee he
will resign from all connection with the pa
rade.
To-day Governor Roosevelt, speaking at

MRS. DIAZ NOT COMING
WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCOMPANY
HER HUSBAND TO CHICAGO.
President of Mexico Voted 800, o by
Trip to the United States.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. H.-Mrs Por-
forio Diaz, wife of the President of the
Republic, will not be able to
her husband to the United States, still be-
ing under the care of her physicians and
forbidden to take any exercise. II Is a
great disappointment both to her and to the
President, as she has lived in the United
States and speaks English well, and Amer
cans in Mexico. who hold her In the high
est esteem, had hoped she would be strong
enough for the journey. but to-day the
physicians in attendance on the distin-
guished patient said 1t would be impossible
for her to make the journey.
President Diaz will make his trip to Chi
cago in palatial style. Besides having been
granted twenty days leave Of absence In
order that he may attend the Chicago fes-
tival, he has been awarded $4,000 out of
the national treasury to meet expenses in
cident to the journey. Friendship TO the
United States is strlkingly shown In this
action, following so closely On the unani-
nous voting of leave of absence. Yester-
day the representatives passed a bill appro-
priating 100000 for the trip. 1t was hurried
over to the Senate and was approved as
quickly. There was not a word Of dissent
in either branch of the national assembly.
When it is figured that President Diaz Is
thus authorized to make expenditures at the
rate Of ZOO a day, some slight idea of the
splendor in which he is to travel may be
gained.

have nothing to say upon any OF the

Judge Tarvin is a speaker of national
prominence and has been favorably
mentioned for place on the national
ticket with the idol of Democracy, Will
lam Jennings Bryan. At the great
Dollar Dinner in New York, last week,
Judge Tarvin and Mr.. Bryan made
speeches. OF the latter's address it
was said that it was the browning effort
of his life. When Judge Tarvin sat
down, the entire assembly rose to its

bly, closer to Mr.. Bryan than any other
man in Kentucky, and though doubt
less receiving much inspiration from
the matchless leader, we are pleased
that in this worthy disciple Kentucky
affords such a valiant champion of the
peoples cause. His coming hither will
be the signal for great outpouring of

A Young Lawyer Wins His First Case and
Upsets a Thirty Year Practice.

For third of a century, almost, va
grants have been sold in this state to
the highest bidder and "no questions
were asked" 1t remained for Young
barrister of this city, Mr. John Ii.
| Chandler, to establish the unconstitu-
1 tiOnality of this barbarous custom that
has been practiced so long in violation
of the XIII Amendment te the Con-
stitutiOn which says that Neither sla-
very nor involuntary serYitude, except
in punishment of crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted.
shall be allowed in the United States,
or any place subject to their iurisdic-
tiOn.' And again in violation of Sec. s,
which says Excessive bail shall not be
required, nor excessive fines imposed,
nor cruel and unusual punishment in
| fiicted"
Mr.. Chandler held, and truthfully,
that yagrancy is a misdemeanOr, NOT
crime, and cited Thompson VS.. Bur-
ton," Supreme Court of Missouri, to
support his contention.
Mr.. Chandler, who had been ap-
pointed by Circuit Judge Scott to de-
fend Ben Burton, colored, indicted for
vagrancy, demurred to the indictment
on the grounds that the vagrancy law
of our state is in violation Of the Con-
stitutIon of the United States. Mr..
Chandler showed that vagrancy is not
a crime but misdemeanor. But grant
ing it is crime, the punishment con-
templated by the constitution is fine.
or imprisonment in Jail or penitentiary,
over which the State exercises super
vision. But that selling one man to
another is slavery or involuntary servi-
tude, which comes under the inhibition
of the Constitution, against "cruel
and unusual punishment" Judge
Scott sustained the demurrer and the
negro was released, unmindfnl of the
fact that in securing his liberty his at
torney had for himself gained a victory
that elected the warmest congratula-
tons from the Judge and the members
of the Bar, who say that this is the first
time the point has been raised in Ken
lucky and new law will have to be en-
acted TO cover the case.
Though this is the maiden effort Of
Mr.. Chandler it is notable one and we
trust it foreshadOws a brilliant legal
career for the young gentleman. lie

county, Ky. His father possesses one
OF the brightest minds in Central Nen-
lucky, and the son made a fine record
atCentral University, being salutatO-
