GERMANY DOES NOT LIKE 1T.
EVIDENCE IN THE DREYFUs CASE
BRINGS FORTH A NOTE.

German Government Threatens 20
OficiaIIy Publish the Facts-Eigh-
teen of the Judges of the Court OF
Cessation Favor Revision, While
Fifteen Oppose It-BeIieved on the
Final Vote the RevisiOnists WIFI
Have a Majority of Eight.
London, April 2S.-Ernest Vizotelly, who
has hitherto shown that he is well-inform-
ed on the subject treated, has an article
in the Westminster Gazette to-day, in
which he says the German government
has addressed an expostulatory note to the
French government regarding the Dreyfus
case.
This note was recently presented 90 NJ.
Delcasse, the French minister of foreign
I~affairs. by Count Won Munster, the Ger
man ambassador to France, and deals
with the proceedings before the Court of
Cessation as published in the Figaro. and
which the note says, surprised and pain
ed the German government.
The note, according to Mr.. Vizotely, in
timated that in certain eventuaities, II
would be impossible for the German gov
eminent to refrain from officially publish
ing the facts, in justice to it's own off,
GERS, who have repeatedly solicited per-
mission to speak. The note urged in forci-
BILE terms the desirabilily, in the interests
of both countries to a speedy conclusion
Of the present agitation.
The presentation of this note led M. Du-
puy, the French prime minister, to bring
pressure to bear on the Court of Cassa-
tion which, however. by a majority Of
three, decided to continue the proceedings
in its own way and hold a supplemental
inquiry, which is now virtually ended.
Mr. Vizotelly learns that eighteen of the
judges of the Court of Cessation are in
favor of. and fifteen opposed TO the revis-
ion Of the Dreyfus case.
1t is probable, Mr.. Vlzoteny adds, that
on full vote of the judges Of the united
Court Of Cessation the revisionists will
have a majority of eight.

ExoITEMENTs OF BALLooNING.
A Leap for Life From Hight of 1870
Feet.


From the Youths Companion.
Mr.. Arthur Williams, a professional aer-
onaut, and Mr.. Sidney Darby, journal-
list, recently undertook to cross the Eng
lish channel from London to France. The
appointed day was stormy, but the jour-
nalist who, as ii appears had the expe-
dition In charge, was persuaded that this
would be no disadvantage, but rather the
contrary, as the wind would only serve
10 hasten the passage. The men were pro-
Vided with carrier pigeons, provisions,
pneumatic blouses TO aid them in swim
ming In case they were precipitated into
the sea, and other appliances.
BY the time they reached the neighbour
hood of Brighton, on the coast, the aero
nauts found that, on account OF the con-
densation of the gas, they could keep
themselves up only by throwing out bal
last; and they perceived that at the rate
they were throwing 1t OUT, they had rot
enough to carry them across the channel
At the same time. the balloon was blowing
very fast in the direction Of the sea.
Nothing remained for them but to de-
scend, by whatsoever means they could.

the whirling rope. Mr.. Darby followed, as
closely as possible.
Mr. Williams reached the ground with
out serious injury, but as he let go and
fell, the thing happened which should have
been foreseen-the balloon, relieved of his
weight, shot upward, carrying poor Dar-
by with 1t. He let himself down TO the
very end of the rope, but this was now
far above the earth. 1t was impossible
for him to climb up again into the bal
loon and TO do so, even If 1t were possible,
would only postpone the inevitable calsm-
ity.
of the sea- he might at that moment be
above Il. II was too dark to see anything
clearly. The balloon was still ascending.
He could hope to get no nearer to earth
than he was at that moment. With death
above and probably death below, he had
but poor choice. Nevertheless he chose
20 let go and fall. feeling that his best
chance lay ia dropping to the earth while
there might still be the earth below him.
He let go and fell into the darkness
He lost consciousness and knew nothing
Of what happened after that Next day
he was found. alive but badly hurt. In a
marsh close by the sea. His pneumatic or
air-cushioned clothing had broken his
fall, and he had providentially dropped
In such position that the water Of the
marsh did not drown him. He was taken
10 Brighton, and received medical care.
He could hardly have fallen from a
hight of less than one hundred and fifty
feet.

Increasing Commercial Ties Bind
Us to Great Britain.


London, April %.-Mr. Robert P Porter,
VINO was the principal guest of the White
Friars' Club tonight, responding 10 a
toast, The Anglo-Saxon Brotherhood"
dwelt upon the ever-increasing commercial
ties binding the United States to Great
Britain, ties which, he said, would be ''still
further improved by the fact that the tar
ifs for Americas new dependencies would
be patterned after England's open door, 3"
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Porter
said that during his recent visit to Ger
many, he had tried 10 make it understood
that Germany could profit as we'll as Eng
land by manufacturing American raw ma =
terials. In this connection, he observed
that despite recent events, the United
States was in CLOSE sympathy" with Ger
many.
