WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT.
Dreyfus' Friends Are Not Satisfied
With the Pardon.

Paris. Sept. 19.-The Press this even
ing says; 'Dreyfus withdrew his ap-
peal today. This was the various for
munication as remaining to be fulfilled
traitor viii now be set free and be able
to give lectures in England and Amer
lea on the secrets OF the iron safe in
the Etat Major Bureaux."
Pardoning Dreyfus does not drop the
curtain on the drama The Dreyfus-
ards are determined to pursue the cam
paign against the generals and other
officers of the general staff who have
lied and committed gross iilegalities in
order TO keep the prison door closed on
the victim.

IS headed rPardon-and What After

Press this evening. The writer says:
If the president by pardoning Drey-
fus. wished TO spare France the inef-
faceable shame of judicial crime. this
exercise of his prerogative called mercy

work of Justice viii only prepare and

straight out. Izlt was imagined that

The bruised body of the man rom
whom they have torn out the soul, then
we throw from us this degrading and
deceitful offer. Dreyflls would be the
first to reject as an infamy such traffic
with his honor
No. the pardoning of Dreyfus can
only be the natural, legitimate and
spontaneous action by which the repre-
SentativeS of the civil power refuse to
associate themselves with the obstinate
iniquity committed by the military
judges. 1t is the government of repub-
lican France repudiating with horror
any part in this denial of justice.
AS for US, we shall pursue with in
creased ardor the task of public saliva
ton to which we have devoted our
selves. There have been crimes and
offenSes committed in obScurity by a
gang of Pretorian conspirators with
MERCER at its head. We are going to
pursue more energetically than ever the
work of obtaining their chastisement."
NJ. de Prossenz goes on to declare that
when the generals have been punished,
the Dreyfusards will continue the cam
paign until courtsmartial have been
abolished and iron and fire have been
carried into the sores of the diplo-
matte corps and society,"
The foregoing article clearly outlines
the militant attitude of the Dreyfus-
ards. and shows that France win not
be allowed to rest quietly, even though
Dreyfus be set at liberty.
The campaign for his release has
given the socialist party a weapon of
which they will avail themselves to the
utmost and Dreyfusism will be extend
ed more and more into the socialists
agitation. Moreover, the lola trial and
Nine. Henri's prosecution of Joseph
Reinaeh for defaming the memory of
her husband, will shortly come on, and
they will be used by both sides as lev
ers to again excite public feeling.
Pardoning Dreyfus. therefore, only
closes one act OF the drama, and France
will probably again find herself in the
throes of the party passion before the
Paris exposition opens its doors next

night from the effects of injuries received
by being struck by a Union Pacific train
near Aspen station, were shipped to his
home at Juab, Utah, today.
The young man was driving a sheep wa
gon and had reached the track before he
received any warning of the oncoming
passenger train. which was speeding
along at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
AT this critical moment the horses baked
and before Whitbeck could collect his
senses, he was speeding on the road to
eternity.
The engine pilot cut the wagon in two
and killed the horses instantly. Whitbeck
was thrown sixty feet in the air and sus-
tanned skull fractures and internal in
juries.
The injured man was brought to Evan
sTon on the passenger train and all that
was possible was done by Company Ply
stefan Harrison to save his life. but after
suffering eight hours he passed away.
Whitbeck was employed by T. Scholes
and sons. sheepmen. and was entering
upon his first days labor He was 10 years
of age and highly respected in his Utah
home.

the sidewalks and walked up and down
the roadways laughing and chatting.
The cafes all around were wide open,
doing roaring trade, as though the
hour were 10 in. the evening instead of 8
in the morning. Men in evening dress
and women in smart evening toilets
could be seen sitting at the. little mar
bic tables, or lolling over the pewter
covered bars of the cabarets. The
greatest animation prevailed.
Drew Large Crowd.
While the crowd was awaiting the
expected assault on the fort smart peo-
pie kept riding up in open vehicles un-
til line of more than 100 was drawn
up nearby. The occupants alighted
and were soon jostling with the mob
of nondescripts and night birds that
swooped down like locusts when the
news of the affair spread.
The government had decided to flood
the fort had Guerin refused to sur
render, and had a couple of hundred
firemen with steam pumps, fire es-
capes and miles of hose. All the build
lngs around were filled with police and
municipal guards. Guerin's house is
lower than the surrounding edifices and
the firemen were placed on upper stor-
les of the latter, overlooking the fort,
prepared TO turn on the water as soon
as the signal should be given, while
below in the street the engines were
Snortlng as the firemen fed the fur
naces and kept steam at top pressure.
Black Flag Still Waved.
Infantry officers and officers of the
municipal guards paced up and down
during the hours of waiting. glancing
up at the windows of the fort, from
which, in the dim, gray light of the
early morning, could be distinguished
black flag. hoisted from the second
floor by Guerin and a white sheet
hanging down with the device in black
letter: .Vive pArmee" and .tAbas les
Traitres."
When M. Guerin's companions sepa-
rated they took coaches and were
driven off. Chanteloube joined his par
ents. Then the troops departed, fol-
lowed by the municipal guards and the
police, except a few who remained in
the Rue de Chabrol to keep order. An
immense crowd fingered to the end to
watch the proceedings. and then dis
persed with little or no disturbance
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-20

Paris, Sept. 19.-The council Of min
listers decided today to pardon Dreyfus
in principle The pardon wiz take eff
feet in few days. Dreyfus has re-
linquished his appeal for reversal of
the judgment of the courtmartial.
In principle is an idiom sometimes
used in semi-official announcements Of
forthco9ling actions. It seems to have
but slight bearing on the matter, ex-
cept perhaps. that it implies the full
fiilment of various formalities before
the pardon is actually issued, thereby
qualifying the announcement of the
pardon with slight tentativeness. 1t
is not known yet whether the pardon
includes amnesty.
The decision of the cabinet to par
don Dreyfus created less interest in
Paris than would the result of a big
horse race. In fact, it may be said
that it caused no excitement whatever.
There was no rioting on the boule-
wards. In front of the otdceS of the
Libre Parole, where crowd usually
assemblies in the evening to gaze upon
the huge colored transparencles outside
the windows Of the leading anti-Semite
organ. there was not the slightest
gathering or the faintest sign of DEM
onsuration, either for or against Drey-
fus.
Burned Itself Out
One would think that the first of the
Dreyfus agitation had burned itself
out. The anti-Dreyfusard evening pa
pers tried to infuse interest into the
governments action by rabid at
tack upon President Loubet, but their
efforts were futile. The peaceful
crowds that filed the tables in front
of the cafes, slipping their after dinner
coffee, looked at the newsboys who
displayed the front pages of these
sheets with their violent headlines, but
utterly refused to get excited. The ma
jority did not even discuss the matter,
or only made the passing remark that
the decision was Just as had been ex-
pected and predicted by every Paris
ian newspaper since the Rennes court
martial delivered its verdict.
The antf-Dreyfusard newspaper.
Soir. had the most sensational caption,
two lines of enormous letters extend
ing across the entire front page, an
nouncing The Traitor Dreyfusard

Then. in the course of an article vio-
lently attacking President Loubet, it
said:

rage upon the army, for his decision
amounts to this. By a stroke of tbs
pen he has destroyed the effect of the
sentence of two courtmartials and has
declared that two military courts have

The affair has become grave when
the chief Of state assumes the leader

and psrdons confessed traitor under
the preteXt that he has been con-
demned twice instead of once"

Abiding to General Otis dispatch re-

DELAYED By THE RAINS.
Otis Is Disappointed In Carrying Out
Military Movements.

New York. Sept. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Accord
ing to official advices received at the
war department today, General Otis has
been disappointed in carrying cut sew
eral military movements contemplated
at this time, by reason of the continued
rains. He fears now that the American
troops will be able to do little if any
thing in the way of aggressive action
before Nov l. The authorities had
hoped to get news of several important
engagements, plans of which they have
known for some time.
In some respects they consider that
the delay will be beneficial BY Nov.
General Otis will have 10000 more men
and will, therefore, be able to put a
larger army into the field and begin a
much more aggressive campaign than
is possible at present.
