On Jan. 4, 1895, while all Paris was
physically freezing, but mentally at boil
ing point, Captain Alfred Dreyfus was

primary purpose, for all other trOui!es

FRENCH MINISTRY pAKDONS DKEY-
LUS.
The Decision Reached ut II Mc,iing OF the
& ,hinCt this aIorning, the Pardon
tn rake Effect In
Few Day.

Paris, Sept. 19,--Thc council OF
ministers drcldcd today to pardon
Dr"yfua in principle. Tho pardon
will tukn effect in fow days.
Dr"yfus has rcliuqlshcd his ap-
peal for Il reversal OF tho Judgment of
tho court MARTIAL
1t is SAID that Droy fus will bo sent
abroad before thopromulgation of his
pardon, in order to avoid uemonstru-
ton at his rccaHc.
Tho official announcement was
made in this form in order to avoid
demonstrations Of any kind ut
Rcnncs and in Paris. but tho
pardon Of DroyGus is not morcly inn
mlnont, but was actually signed this
morning.
Tho announcement that Droyfus
was to DO pardoncd had already boon
discounted by predictions and thcro
was absolutely no oxcitomont dis
played along tho boulovards when
tho nowsboys ran along at about 3.l5
p. N. with the first editions, contain
ing tho stntomcnt that tho cabinet had
decided to pardon Droyfus. Tho
newspapers sold quickly but thcro
was no rush for thcm upon tho Fart
Of tho boulovnrocrs.
Those who bought tho papcrs sat
down in front Of tho cafes and
rcau tho announcement without
comment. Every ono expected it
and tho decision met with no oppo-
sititn.
Tho Droits Del liommc, the social
IsC organ, said:
sour task romans tho samo after
rs before the liberation of Droyfus,
to continue tho campaign ngninst all
those who aro responsible for tho la
mcntablc affair.""
"ln principle" is an idiom somo-
times used in scmi official announce
mcnts Of forthcoming actions. 1t
seems to havo but slight bearing
on tho matter, except, perhaps,
that it implies tho fuilillmcnt of
various fornulitics before tho par
| don.
There is much remark hero on tho
Str"n"o coincidoncc' of tho death Of
NJ. Schurcr-Kos'nor, tho first camp
ion Of Drcyf"s, and to whom Drey-
fus will virtually owe his Freedom, on
tho worry day tho cabinet decided to
| pardon tho prisoner.

tonSc was confronted with I'icuuart and
denied this.
Roget also confronted picquart, who
refused to modify his testimony in the
slightest degree, and the same result was
arrived at when Mcrcicr also faced the
lieutenant colonel. Mcrcicr was compcll-
cd to ndmit for the first time that he had
sent secret documents to the court mar
tal III 1891, one OF which was the fa-
nous "cc canaillc dc -" letter. He also
shocked even the members OF the court
martial by the cold hloodcd admission
that evidences practically known to he
false was used 90 secure tho conviction
OF Drcyfus. When pressed for a reply to
tho question rs TO whether hc did not
know all the time that the %" referred

said. "WclI | bad nay dwlbt3." Major

him the general scheme Of mining rail

Enct at first refused, hat finally yielded
10 nrryfus' opportunities. when the lat
tcr's house was searched the notes were
not discovered. On cross examination the
major was made to cn3traac, himself on
several important points. DrcyfUS de-
MpUncrd him In court as Il liar. At this
point Major Carrirrc announced that

The price of butter has increased

A similar advance in cheese is also

Notwithstanding the frequent ex-

all are equally fraudulent. and the
perpetrators should be placed behind
