Thursday, 21st., the sun entering

a few days in advance or a few days
later than the actual time of the sun
crossing the equinoctial line. The

The pardon will not lie signed for several

be curried out.
The decision of the cabinet to pardon
Dreyfus erented less interest in I'uria
than would the result of n biif burse
race. In fact, it may be said that it cant
ed 110 excitement whatever. There rcaa
no riotinit on the boulevards. In front
of the otliees of the I.lbre I'urole, whert
a crowd usually assembles iu the evening
to pnr.e upon the Iuirc colored transpar
encies outside the windows of the lead
ing anti-Semite organ, there was not th
slightest gathering or the faintest tdgti
of a demonstration either for or against
Dreyfus.
One would think that the fire of th
Dreyfus ngitittiou had burned itself out.
The nnti-Dreyfusnrd evening papers
tried to infuse interest Into the govern
ment's nction by a rabid attack upon
President Lou bet, but their effoits were
futile. The peaceful crowds that filled
the tables in front of the cafes, sipping
their after dinner coffee and cognac,
looked at the newsboys who displayed
the front pages of these sheets with their
violent headlines, but utterly refused to
get excited. The majority did not evsa
discuss the matter or only made the pass
ing remark that the decision was just
what had been expected and predicted by
every Parisian newspaper since the
Hennes court martial.
The ontl-Dreyfusard newspaper1 Poir
had the moat sensational caption, two
lines of enormous letters extending across
the entire front page, announcing "The
Traitor Dreyfus Pardoned Outruge on
the Army." Then in the course of an
article violently attacking President
Loubet It said:
"Loubet has given himself a coup dt
grace in pardoning Dreyfus. He should
be prosecuted for committing an out
rage upon the army, for his decision
amounts to this. By a Btroke of the pen
he has destroyed the effect of the sen
tence of two courts martial and has de
clared that two military courts have
lied."
The Solr adds: "The affair has become
grave when the chief of state assumes
the leadership of the anti-military move
ment and purdons a confessed traitor
under the pretext that he has been con
demned twice instead of once."
The Aurore, the leading organ of the
Dreyfnsnrd body, today publishes an ar
ticle by M. Fruuois de Pressensc, the
distinguished journalist, who from the
llrst was n leader In the revision move
ment. The writer says:
"If the president by pardoning Drey
fus wished to spare France the inefface
able shame of a judicial crime, this exer
cise of his prerogative, called mercy, so
far from impairing the necessary work of
justice, will only prepare and facilitate
it, for we must speak straight out.
"If it was imagined that impunity for
criminals could be purchased by pardon
ing an innocent man, if it was thought
that the friends of law would barter am
nesty to the scoundrels who perpetrated
those crimes upon the bruised body of the
man from whom they have torn out the
soul, then we throw from us this degrad
ing and deceitful offer. Dreyfus would
be the first to reject ns nn infamy such
trnflic with his honor."
Mny De Already Free.
LONDON', Sept. 20. The Rennea
correspondent of The Daily Telegraph,
wiring at S) o'clock lust evening, says:
"There is reason to believe that Dreyfus
!s already out of prison and that with
his wife he will probably leave Keunes
tonight."
Vrilltnni K. Vanderltllt nt the Head.
NEW VOltK, Sept. 20. The Times
today says: "The failure to place young
Cornelius Vnnderbilt in the directorates
of the New York Central and the Harlem
roads In plnce of his father was com
mented upon by persons familiar with
the old time Vnnderbilt policy of succes
sion. There was a belief that if the
present Cornelius was to succeed his fa
ther in the possession and management
of the bulk of the vast estate held by that
branch of the family he would be given
a place In the board of directory even if
in consequence of his youth and Inexpe
rience he whs not trusted with ollieinl
responsibility. The action taken yester
day, however, wns indicative of the as
sumption by William K. Vnnderbilt of
general control of all the Vnudeibilt rail
road interests. There is good ground for
thu ussertiou that this policy was favored
and provided for by Cornelius Vnnder
bilt. The entry of William Rockefeller
into the New York Central directory has
a deeper significance than appears ou the
Buifuce."

TROOPS ON THE MOVE.
Enitlntnl Ilnrrles Men and Ship to
South Afrlon.
LONDON, Sept. 20. Summonses were
issued late yesterday for a cabinet coun
cil, which, it Is understood, will be held
Friday. This is regarded as the result of
the visit of the premier, Lord Salisbury,
to London, whence he came in the ai'Hr
tioon, remaining nt the foreign otlice from
4-.II0 p. in. to ii:'M p. til, Mr. .Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, was present in the building
nt the same time, and, ns a private door
way connects the olliees, it is presumed
that the summonses were the result of
their joint deliberation.
Even rumors of a movement of the Mo
ors across the Xntnl border apparently
fail to excite tho military authorities
here, who profess nt least not to fear
such a contingency for the present.
In the meantime the movement of
troops proceeds. The Royal West Sussex
regiment left yesterday for Malta, where
It will replace the First Border regiment,
which goes by the same steamer to Na
tal. It Is announced that the British first
class protected cruisers Terrible and
Powerful have both been ordered to the
Cape. They have reliefs on board calla
ble of forming a naval brigade of 1,000
men.
The steamer .Telunga will tnke 500
troops bound for Natal today, and she
will embark a rille brigade at the island
of Crete for the Cape.

oval, measuring 1 7-18 by 1 Inches. The
relief is in flesh color upon a background
of black. The name of the designer, Tri

The Marlborough jewels for years were
considered of almost priceless value by
the family till necessity made their sale
Imperative. They were sold to David

shire, in 1S74 for $175,000 and have been
buried from sight until the present salt
at Christie's, in London.
Admiral Schley's Appointment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. K!.-Some time
ago Admiral Schley applied to the navy
department for sea service. At present
he is head of the retiring board. The
navy department has now granted the
request iind has notified him to hold him
self in readiness to command the south
Atlantic station. The department is
about to take steps to muke the command
commensurate with his rank by increas
ing considerably the number of vessels on

likely to be attached. Altogether there
will be five or six ships on the station
when the quota is rilled.

American Prisoners.
4 COSFEREXCE ALSO ASKED FOR.
lienrrnl Otis (irnnts the Meanest, nnd
the Heliels Promise to Itelense
the (apt Ives Hxchnnnre
of Prisoners Asked.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. Secretary
Root has received n cablegram from
General Otis that seems to Indicate a
wenkenlng on the part of the insurgents
In Luzon. It contained a proffer to de
liver the American prisoners who have
been for so many months in the hands of
the Insurgents nnd also sought permis
sion to parley with General Otis. This
cablegram was at once taken by Secreta
ry Root over to the cabinet meeting and
formed the main topic for discussion at
the beginning of the session. However,
upon reading the message carefully, its
apparent importance seemed to diminish.
Secretary Root himself did not regard
the matter as of Importance at this time.
He recalled frequent efforts on the pari
of the insurgents in the past to gain tims
at critical moments by opening negotia
tions, ostensibly with the object of mak
ing peace, and he was not sure but this
last offer was something of the same
kind. However, the secretary was of the
opinion that it would fail to afford the
insurgents any advantage. General Otis
would receive any messenger and listen
to him and make answer to his proposals,
but this would not restrain the military
operations in the slightest degree, and
the American arms would lose no ground,
no matter how the negotiations turned
out. There Is a possibility also that the
insurgents have become disheartened
at the renewed and intense activity in
the direction of re-enforcing General
Otis and concluded iu view of the great
force gathering to open the campaign In
the dry season that further resistance
would be useless.
It Is pointed out as a noticeable fact
that Agulnaldo's name does not appeal
in General Otis' dispatch, and though
this may not be of great significance, still
among some of the army officers It U
surmised that there are serious dissen
sions among the insurgents and that per
haps some of the discordant elements are
acting on their own responsibility. The
text of the dispatch follows:
"Two insurgent majors entered the
American lines yesterday under a flag ot
truce. They visited General MacArthui
nnd offered to release IIS American prls
oners, including Lieutenant Gilmore and
his men, from the gunboat Yorktown.
who were captured at Baler on April 12
lust. In return they merely asked per
mission to send these prisoners througt
the lines accompanied by Filipinos who
desire to confer with General Otis.
"The request was granted, nnd the In
snrgent officers returned to their lines
this morning, after promising that th
prisoners would be released in a few
days. No mention was made of an ex
change of prisoners, and the inmirfreutt
are evidently desirous of showing theii
magnanimity. General Otis has consist
ently followed the policy of releasing Fil
ipino prisoners of war, retaining only
their arms."

by Mr. Joseph L. Stickney, describing the
Admiral as Mr. Stickney saw him and talked
wiih him almost daily during his recent
homeward voyage through the Mediteranenn

regarding the transactions at Manila, and
many other matters of great interest. Mr,
Stickne was formerly in the navy himself; he

views of life aboad the "Olympia" during
her homeward voyage, and pictures of var
