the programme by singing the "Marsellaise."

have upon the success Of the Paris Ex position.
Henri Merou. Consul for the French Govern

upon the verdict in the Dreyfus trial. but says
emphatically that the result will not injure the
success OF the Exposition. The opposite view is
taken by Ulrich Daniel. local commercial repre-

that the people will stay away from France
owing to the fear that the loyal friends Of
Dreyfus will take advantage OF the exctem on t
