THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Col. Partridge Does Not Think 1t
Applies to Lock Tenders.

Albany, n. n, Sept. 13.-Regarding
the operation of the cight-hour law in
connection with the work of lock tend
ing on the state canals, Col. Partridge,
superintendent of Public Works. said:
when the law first Lecame operative,
l had some doubts as 70 its applying to
all lock tenders. | refer to those lock
tenders who are stationed where their
work is not continuous. where they do
not actually labor mare than two or
three hours of the twelve they are on
duty. and where, in eA rene cases. they
do not actually see & boat during the
twelve hours they are ut work. To
change from lively, to eight hour
shifts would increase by 30 per cent.
the cost of lock tending. and the Legis-
lature made no provision for meeting
this added expenditure.
ITO increase the running expenses by
employing additional nelp sufficient to
man all locks with eight hour tricks
would mean a deficit and in creating
it | would be but violating another
law passed at the Last session of the
Legislature, which f0rbids any official
to create an Obligation against the
state in advance of mn appropriation
to meet such obliga zion. Only three
other courses lay open to me. one was
to increase the force of lock tenders
and decrease the force of men neces-
sary to proper care and maintenance
of the canals. in which case n dis
astrous break might occur at any time,
and would be in the position of hav-
ing serious trouble on my hands and
no organized force with which to meet
II.
Il do not believe ATTY dissatisfaction
exists among the employees of the de-
paltment because of the safe and con-
servative course l have adopted in this
matter"

MAY PARDON DREYFUS.
Prisoners Brother is Called to

seau Tells Friends of the Prisoner
What is Best to Do.
Paris, Sept. 13.-Mathieu Dreyfus.
brother of captain Alfred Dreyfus,
was called TO Paris by Joseph Reinach,
the journalist for the purpose of hold
ing an interview with Premier Wal
deck-Rosseau, who is reported as ad-
vising the family not to appeal to the
Court of Cessation. as the prisoner will
be pardoned on Jan. 1.
The proceedings in Dreyfus's appeal
for military court of revision are:
The appeal is first filed with the
Rennes Tribunal. Then it goes to the
Seine Tribunal. From there it is sent
to the Military Governor of Paris who
summons the Court. The Court then
appoints reporter to read over the
proceedings. These formalties will oc-
cupy so much time that it is believed
the appeal will not be heard for a
month.

accused had been proven? The five
Others, moreover. showed how deeply
their minds We're perturbed and how

Joseph Reinach in the Steele, says it
is the Governments duty to act with
out delay, and redeem the honor of
France. The means are not lacking;
the Minister of Justice can lay before
the Court Of Cessation the verdict
which was delivered in violation of its
formal ruling, or the Government can
take proceedings against the real guilty
parties and false witnesses. Either of
these courses would lead to further re-
