able fantastic clues furnished the

produced from time to time by the
Humbert, Dreyfus and Syyeton at.
fairs, pales into insignifcance by com.
parison and the revelations which
crowded thick and fast during the
day point to the possible exposure OF
a national scanal which promises to
attract world wide attention.

ported already TO have begun secret
inquiry into the case to determine the
truth of the allegation printed here
this afternoon that n. Leydctte, thu

relations with Nine. Steinheil, who
induced him to stife the affair. ..
Political opponents like Henry
Rocheforte have been trying to make
political capital Of the affair by seek
ing to force an exposure of the scan.
dial connected with the mysterious
death of Felix Faure. president of the
republic in 1899. Although hushed
up at the time, it was .common knowl-

Nine. steinheil was with NJ Faure

say was the story of Jason. Accord

to his death, and she was greatly en-.
