CAPT. ALFRED DREYFUS
 A PHYSICAL WRECK

| the health or eA-Caplaln DfeSluS. u WAS his superior moral force that bore him up, but the strain has weakened his body and his health is broken. The emotion at sec ing his children has shattered his Nerves, which necessitates his close seclusion- The martyr is now seeking the repose so much needed.
 Mme. Dreyfus dreads the colonial ills | from which her husband suffers and which often take a sudden bad turn. She pre- poses to take her husband to a milder ch- mate, the weather at Carpentras being sharp and chilly Visitors have been re- quested to postpone their visits. Picquart, | Trarieaux, Havef, Monod and others have been notified that Dreyfus is not in eondi- tion to receive them.
 l Telegrams of sympathy and congratula- tion pour in from all over the world. Dreyfus has refused an offer of million francs for history of his case, written by | himself Commandant Forzinetti has succeeded in persuadng Dreyfus to accept the Prince of Monoca's invitation to visit him. He has l impressed upon Dreyfus the fact that such an invitation from prince is a practical rehabilitation in the eyes of the world and | that being a guest of prince will suffice 1 eo iCStOIC lhuCI OL lllo pltStiSt. 1 Many delegations have presented Dreyfus with resolutions of sympathy. In the city of Ledignan near Carpentras, three streets have been named in honor of Dreyfus. The names of Zola Picquart and the Dreyfus | family have been inscribed on electrical cards.
 Carpentras was chosen as a resting place for Dreyfus because it is the residence of .;-t oJ,r
 Gallifet is having serious difficulties. He has succeeded in pleasing no one in the army by affirming that the Dreyfus incl dent is closed Prompted by the highest motives he has brought down the wrath of | the Dreyfusards.
 I've want to destroy clerlcalism in the army" Jaures declared to a group of po- 1 litlcal friends. He was not interested in the Dreyfus case. but Was glad Che had chance to stab the army, which he charac- 1 terized as the enemy of the people. 1 Waldeek-Rosseau feels that Gallifet is l heavy weight to carry in the cabinet before the chamber. He is afraid that the left will not swallow Gallifet. Since the army con- demned Dreyfus the leftists blame the min ister of war Gallifet, however, continues to refuse to take hints.
 Waldeck- -Rosseau gave Madame Dreyfus 1 legal points during the entire period since the first demands for a revision of the trial were made.
 The funeral of M. Scheurer-K -Kestner is to be the occasion of a great demonstration. Mime. Dreyfus has teegraphed the family | that she regretted she could not attend, and has sent the following message of con- dolence:
 'We are profoundly afflicted and asso- clate ourselves with your sorrow and shall | treasure as an eternal souvenir the mem- ory of the great and kind-hearted man and his grand devotion to the cause of my hus- band, myself and children"
 The nomination of Hartmann, director of the artillery at the factory at Puteaux, has been generally considered a promotion, but in reality it is the result of boycott of the army against him. It practically removes him from active service without depriving him of rank or title, and places him in an industry of the army instead of in the army itself After Hartmann's evil 1 dence before the court of cessation he was placed in quarantine by his superior, and his fellowofIicers would have nothing to l do with him. The situation lhas become al- most unbearable since the Rennes trial, and things have become so aggravated that life is nearly impossible Hartmann, at Versailles, is summed like leper, and | he has been placed beyond attack so as to render life possible. Gallifet withdrew | Hartmann from Versailles and gave him a | factory, where he would not be exposed to contact with the officers who had boycotted him.
 Captain Fraestaetter has been appointed l to command the Eleventh company. This is a regiment of infantry. Gallifet has been asked to restore Negrier and Boisdeffre to active posts in the army.
 The choice of a successor to Braurt, head of the general staff, is causing much strife in the cabinet, and with the complot the | republic is certainly in danger. The cabi- | net believes that the selection of the head of the army is a matter of deep importance to the future of the republic. A man like Saussier, whose republican principles were not doubted, is difficult to find.
 Berenger is busy with the dossier of the complot. Today he commenced work at | o'clock in the morning. A wagon load of boxes has arrived at the Luxembourg, to be used for classified documents.
 The commission will attend in a body the funeral of M. !Scheurer-Kestner.
 The deposition of Casimir-Perier at Rennes is bringing up the question of pres idential prerogative in France. The con- s'tituulonal rights of the first magistrate of the republic is open to discussion in politi- cal circles in France, and what are the rights of the president forms the chief top ic of conversation, which the chamber may l be asked to regulate. Among republicans there are two groups. One pretends to maintain that the president of France merely presides, and does not govern, and 1 that he has only moral influence over the | council of ministers. The other group | Casimir-Perier's friends, declares that the chief of state should exert an active in- l fluence in the affairs of the state and as 1 commander-in-chielfo of the army he cannot be ignored. Of all the presidents Casimir- ] Perier is the only one who has refused to
