IT MAY DEFEAT THE TREATY.
The Dreyfms Verdict May Find in
Indirect Response in the Unit
ed States Senate.

Washington, Sept. l2.-The Dreyfus
verdict is attracting much attention
throughout Official quarters, but natur-
ally. those in responsible positions,
whose opinion would be valuable, are
reluctant to express adverse comment,
because of the national aspect of the
case. The feeling is general however
in favor OF Dreyfus.and Il strong senti-
ment has developed against the injus-
ticc, which, according to the prevail
ing belief he mas been subject
ed to. Some of the officials
express fear that this SEN
timent will have Il serious effect on the
FTanco-American treaty when it
comes before the senate, as that in
strument has not proved very popular,
and the present feeling may turn the
tide against it.

.fus Verdict and Hints at
Possible

Paris, Sept. Recommending on the
verdict in the Drcyfus case, the Temps
say that all good citizens who had di-
vided on the Drcyfus affair. agree in
desiring that judgment should reopen
all era of peace and repose for France
that is far from being incompatible
with the Judgment.
Continuing, the Temps says:
I'VE have a strong belief that if the
judges did not give Dreyfus the bcne-
fit OF the doubt, they implied it in the
admission of eNtenuatinC circum-
stances. Considerations foreign to the
affair. above all the ~inprovident ut
terances of ill-advised partisans OF
the reNisionist campaign against :he
generals, are the cause of it. 1t is.
however, possible, that Dreyfus may
not lose this benefit. 1t would be
enough for the chief of state TO sign
his pardon. This solution would
bring about the ~pacification of which
France is i'll need"

Instructions to Otis.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Gen. Otis has
been instructed, in framing his plan
of campaign for tie dry season, to al
low for the fullest participation of the
naval forces now in the Philippines,
and as soon as he has been heard from,
the necessary orders will go forward
to the naval commanders to cooperate
with the army to an extent not before
contemplated. The naval officers have
always been willing t, do this, but
they have been restrained in the opera
tions by an indisrosi:;on TO interfere
in any manner with the plans of the
military commander. Tie ships will
undertake to capture any of the ports
now in insurgent possession that may
be desired by the army. and also to
hold them indefinitely, thus making
it possible to open the railroad or Luz
zon from the northern e~Xtremities:
while in Cavite province, with the large
force of marines now on band, it is be-
licved the navy can undertake to re-
Iieve the soldiers stationed there. and
make available a considerable force for
other operations.

"Up in the central part of Wisconsin"
said a Chicago travelling man, who had got
tired talking about the trusts, there is a
town that Is inhabited almost exclusively
by 'Yonsons.' The name OF the man who
keeps the hotel is 'Yonson,' the drug store
on the corner is owned by a man named
'Ionson,' the proprietor of the establish
ment that uses our goods is a Mr.. 'Yonson,'
and L noticed when l was riding up town
from the station that the grocer and the
butcher were both 'Yonsons.'
What's the matter here / said to the
bus driver, haven't you any people in
this town who don't belong to the 'Yon-
replied;
What's your name" / asked.
"'Yonson,' he answered.

qulries as to the Yonson' family, but at

HOME RULE FOR PORTO RICO.
the Island Occupies n Session of
the Cabinet.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The cabine,
meeting yesterday was occupied in the
discussion of a form of civil govern.
ment for Porto Rico. This matter has
been under serious consideration ever
since Secretary Root took his place
as secretary of war, and theindications
now are that some form of local gov
eminent will be decided upon and put
into operation within the next few
weeks at the latest. The details of
the proposed plan have not yet been
made public, but it is understood that
1t involves the appointment of a civil
government by the president. and also
the appointment of the chiefs of The
several great departments of the gov
eminent which would include a chief
of the financial department, a director
of pests and probably two or three
others. In addition the president will
appoint from the leading citizens of
the island a certain number to act in
a Legislative capacity with the civil
governor and the members of his coun-
Gil. These will be authorized to rec
ommmend any changes that may be
thought necessary in the existing laws
and to suggest such others as in their
judgment may be deemed best.
1t is not intended hat this form of
government shall continue beyond the
time that congress may see fit to legis-
late upon the subject; but it is the pur-
pose of the president to give the Porto
Iicans some voice in their own govern
ment pending such action.
Although the encouragement and
the members of his council will exer-
else general supervision over the Ell
forcement of any laws that may re-
ceive the approval of the president,
those relating to municipal matters
will be left largely in the hands of the
people of Porto Rico. They will be
permitted to administer their own af-
fairs subject always to the veto pow
er of the governor general and finally
of the president.
All the details of the plan have not
been worked out, but ii is the purpose
of the president to give the people OF
Porto Rico, as soOn as may be. the full
est measure of home rule that is con-
sidered consistent with perfect safety

Early in the Day.

Rennes, Sept. 10.-The appearance of
the streets when Rennes awoke, Sat
urday morning, left no doubts in the
minds of anyone that the final crisis
of the great trial had been reached.
Instead of scattered geEdarmes guard
ing the vicinity of the prison and the
Lycee, the whole town bristled with
soldiers, all the streets ncar the court
were guarded at intervals by double
lines of infantry, two companies of in
fantry sat on the church steps adjoin-
ing the Lycee, with their arms stacked
in front of them, while the courtyard
of the prison and at v:rious other
points cavalry could be seen in readi-
GeSS.
Everyone entering the court was
subjected to the closest scrutiny. Even
the women who attended the session
were deprived of their small sun
shades before being permitted to pass.
\ larger crowd han usual witnessed
the passage of Dreyfus from the pris-
on to the Lycee, but tie crowds were
nowhere large. and aside from the
presence of the military, the town was
as tranquil as usual.
The Last Session Opens.
The last session of the court-mar-
tial opened at 80 Il. IN. Madame La
bori was among the few ladies' pres
ent. and in the press seats there were
only about 80 reporters. The prison
er looked flushed and in ;ll-health, ap-
parently suffering from the great
strain.
NJ. Demange resumed his speech for
the defense. which was interrupted.
Friday, by the adjournment of court.
The audience listened TO his remarks
with the most serious attention. and
he was closely followed by the Judges.
In his appeal to them, lie strongly az
cenuated the words: "lou must not
say a thing is 4 possibility. \ judge
must have PROOF. No doubt must rest
on the conscience Of Il Judge"
