PLANS FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS.
fntcnde to Combine the Good Quail
ties of BnttIeships and ARM
Ored Cruisers.

Washington. Sept. 19.-The naval en-
gineers have projected plans for the
new battleships which, if adopted, will
provide an entirely novel type for the
navy. Tie purpose is to have these
ships combine in themselves the good
qualities of battleships and armored
cruisers. The aim will be to have the
highest possible speed for such ships,
in this case 20 knots per hour. This
will be attained by the use triple
screws, two small side screws for use
in ordinary cruising and a big central
screw to add to the ~propulsive force in
case high speed is needed. The ships
would be of $4,000 or $4,000 tons dis
placement. and with seven inches of
the latest armor would be almost as
strong in defense Is a regular battle
ship. The coal capacity would be
about 1900 tons.

4 PARDON FOR DREYFUS.
The French Council of Ministers
Decides to Grant a Pardon
to Capt. Dreyfus.
The LATTER WITHDRAWS HIS APPEAL.
The Action of the Ministry Had Been
Discounted, Consequently IL oc-
cnsioned But Little Surprise On
h Streets of Pnris-The FiEarO's


1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his
pardon, in order to avoid demonstra-
tons.
in principle" is an idiom sometimes
used in semi-oflicial announcement OF
forthcoming actions. 1t seems to have
but slight bearing on the matter eN-
cept, perhaps, that it implies the full
filiment of various forIualities before
the pardon.
There is much remark here on the
strange coincidence Of the death OF NJ
Scheurer-Kestner, the fist champion
OF Dreyfus, and to whom Dreyfus will
virtually I'VE his freedom, on III very
day the cabinet decided TO pardon the
prisoner.
NJ. Scheurer-Kestncrs death was
sudden. He had been i'll during The
last few days, but it Was not thought
that his illness would prove fatal.
No Excitement in Paris.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been dis
counted by predictions, and there was
absolutely no excitement displayed
along the boulevards when the news
boys ran along, at about 3:15 p. NJ,
with the first editions containing the
statement that the cabinet had decid-
ed to pardon Dreyfrs. The newspa-
pers sold quickly, u there was NO
rush for them upon the part of the
boulevardiers.
Those who bought the papers sat
down in front of the cafes and read
the announcement without comment.
Everyone exepcted it and the deci-
sion met with no opposition.
The Droits Del 'Homne, the social
list organ, said: Our task remains
the same after as before the liberia
ton of Dreyfus, to continue the cam
paign against all those who are re-
sponsible for the lamentable affair,
and unmask the forgers, traitors ana
false witnesses, even though they may
be covered with glittering decora-
tons"

The contractors for building the

hinG in the delivery CT the ship to u

The EiEnrO.s Comments.

Paris, Sept. 19.-Reviewing the gov
ernmental pardon, the Figaro says:
The government has decided to par
Ion Dreyfus because such an act is the
natural sequence OF the Rennes court
martial. The discussion which took
place before the eyes of the world
showed that there WAS noproOf against
Dreyfus. 1t is the hrst time in the his
tory of courI-martialS that a military
tribunal had to choose between 4 gem
eral of division and Il captain of artil-
lery. From a judicial point OF view the
decision of the council OF war can not
be defended. Neither our government
nor any other government could stand
up in the face Of the nations and de-
fend that decision. 1t may be some
what cXcusable to military minds and
from Il military point of view, never
theless il is the duty of the govern
mcnt 10 put both in accord. This duty,
it performs to-day. and no nation will
encourage our government more in its
line of honorable duty han the United
States.
