UNLUCKY CHARLES DUPUY
MAN WHO HAS BEEN PRIME MINIS
TER AT UNPROPITIOUs TIMES

1900 thereby covering the period Of transfor-
nation OF public opinion in favor OF the new
trial Of Dreyfus. and which was the thirty
eighth Cabinet OF the third republic. was ship
wrecked by the Socialists because the police
acted with too great severity during the popu-
lar manifestations that took place on Sunday.
the day Of the Grand Prix de Paris. N. Dupuy
has earned the reputation OF possessing the
EVIL eye" His Inadequate police precautions
at Auteuil made the Christlani assault upon
President Loubet possibility. His excess OF
police and military measures on the following
Sunday at the Grand Prix de Paris at Long
cbamps dissatisfied everybody and brought
about his fall The orders to the police were to
act with energy" The hot-headed "musca-
dIns" OF the reactonary Auteuil assault disap-
neared like magic during the Socialist demon
STATIONS last Sunday The police were there
fore left in the presence Of the Socialists,
against whom they vigorously carried out ther
instructions. As NJ. de Cassagnac pointed out
.it was the red carnation after the white car
nation"
NJ. Dupuy has certainly been the reverse OF
mascot for the Presidents OF the republic under
whom he has served. He was Prime Minister
when Carnot was assassinated; he was Prime
Minister when NJ. Casmir- Perier retired from
the Presidency; he was Prime Minister "hen
M Felix Faure died, ana ne was f'Iihie 1hii''s'''
when President Loubet was insulted upon his
return from Versailles after his election ana
when he was assaulted at Auteuil. NJ Dupuy
was also Prime Minister when Dreyfus was con-
demned II President Loubet Is at all supersti-
tious he should not be sorry to see NJ Dupuy
replaced by some more propitious counsellor.
The new conditions which the next Cabinet
must confront-the increased Socialist influence
in Paris and throughout the larger towns ike
Lyons Marseilles and Lille. are already viewed
with uneasness. The Socialist leaders immedi-
ately after the escapade Of the Royalist youths
at Auteuil were wise enough to seize the OPP
portunity 10 prove their loyalty TO the repub-
lie and thereby to draw the republic nearer to
themselves and further away from the SOUND
nrinciples that moderate Frenchmen have at
heart
The small but noisy group OF anti-reVlsionists
under the lead OF Drumont. Millevoye, Arthur
Meyer. Rochefort and Quesnay &c Beaurepairs
already predict serious disorders at Rennes upon
the arrival there of Captain Alfred Dreyfus
Cl4menceau and Francis de Pressense. who. in
the opposite camp are most eager in demand
ing reprisals in the Dreyfus affair declare that
Colonel de Sake the presiding officer OF the
court martial which sits permanently at Rennes
the headquarters OF the Tenth Army CORPS
where Captain Dreyfus is TO be retired. Is
notorious opponent Of revision. and has ex-
pressed his opinions on that point upon several
occasions A few days ago NJ. de Pressense
wrote as follows in the "Aurore": 1t would De
simply Infamous to permit Colonel de Sake to
direct the proceedings Of the Rennes court-mar-
tial because this officer has never failed to vent
his fury upon Dreyfus who will come before
| the court martial not as convict, as Colonel
de Sake seems to suppose. but as an officer who
is to be tried"
To this article Colonel de Sake replied as fol-
lows:

Sir: The rules OF the service do not allow me
to answer your insolent letter article that you
published In the "Aurore," but II Is not IN the
hover OF any one to prevent me from informing
you that you are an .'immonde poisson idir'y

! NJ de Pressense in an article In to-day's "Au-
rore" publishes Colonel de Saxie's letter, ana
with the remark that the impartiaty OF the
! Colonel de Sake, who is president Of the Rennes
| court martial seems TO be Adequately proved
| by his own statements
| NJ Cornely. in a series Of articles in the FL.
caro-" and in the "Matln." expresses his convic-
| ton that the Rennes court martial. no matter
what the personal views of its members may
| be cannot do anything but acquit Dreyfus OF
| the charges brought against him, simply for
| want Of evidence but admits that II Is at
| Rennes that the ant-revision leaders mean 10
| make their last and desperate stand.
| The Younger school of French musical COM
| nosers has lust lost one Of its most promising
| members in the person Of NJ. Ernest Chausson,
| q nupil OF Cesar Franck. Chausson made his
debut fifteen years ago with several melodies
| which earned for him a reputation among must
cal anna tours. although he is but little known 10
| the public Chausson's symphonies and quar-
| tets for piano and string instruments were sue
cessfully performed this winter at the Colonne
| concerts and at the Lamoureux concerts three
years ago. His opera. "Roi Artus,' to which
| Chausson devoted the last three years of his
| life was only completed a few months ago.
| "Roi Artus" has Just been accepted by NJ. Care.

| Chausson was an admrer OF Wagner, and was
| regarded by the Partisan musical critics as the
most brilliant Of the younger French compos-

was due TO a bicycle accident He was riding
down a steep hill on his own property near
Nantes. when he lost his pedals and the cycle
dashed into a stone wall Chausson's skull was
fractured and death was instantaneous.
The mass composed by His Royal Highness
the Landgrave Alexander Frederick OF Hesse.
and dedicated to the Pope. which was per-
formed at the Madeleine Friday, is highly
spoken OF by the Partisan critics. The style Is
alternately that OF Palestrina and OF Bach The
fugue movement predominates-possibly a little
TOO much go The Christie Eleison" consists OF
solo parts in A fiat major and fugue. The
Gloria" In G major is a short song for choru~
to which a fugue is added The "Credo' begins
) with theme frequently repeated. and after the
, introduction again OF fugue some enectVe
solo parts come in. which are terminated with
, a fugue The "Sanctus" In Is fiat major Is short
, and OF about the same character. The "Bene-
