Refuse n Pardon.

PARIS, Dec. Sin his second article in
the Journal, published this morning. NJ.
Labori, replying to interview in the
Echo de Paris. denies that he wanted

on an innocent man in whose behalf he,
Labor, and others, in passion for an
idea, had not hesitated to stir up the
country.
Replying to the charge that he wanted to
live off the affair, Labor declares that his
connection with the case had cost him al
most his entire practice, which only began
TO pick up again after the amnesty was
granted and against which, contrary to his
own interests, he had increasingly strug-
gled.
There is recrudesence of the Dreyfus
case discussion in the press. but the ques-
ton Of the innocence of Dreyfus is not
affected. The Steele says that Dreyfus re-
pudiates the Echo de Paris interview,
which he neither directly nor indirectly in
spired.
