THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 180S.
CAVAIGNAC QUITS
HIS POSITION
A DANdEBOUS CRISIS RESULTS
, FROM THE ARMY SCANDAL.
Tho Minister of War Opposed tho
Reopening of tho Dreyfus Caso,
While n Majority of tho Cabinet
Favored It The Question Will
Probably Be Thrown Into tho
Chamber of Deputies No Military
Honors at tho Grave of Lieutenant
Colonol Henry.
Paris. Sapt. 4. A dangerous crisis
was precipitated last night by tho res
ignation of M. Cavolgnac, minister of
war.
Several conferences took place this
nltcrnoon between the minister ot war
nr.d MM. Bourgeois and Sarrlcn, re
ppoetlvely ministers of education and
justice, with tho result that M. Cav
nlgnac found It Impossible to harmon
ize his views regarding the army scan
dal with those of Premier Brlsson. He
accordingly submitted his resignation.
This action almost certainly forces
the retirement of the Brlsson cabinet
i. nil precipitates a dangerous political
crisis.
It means that the Question of revis
ion of the Dreyfus case will be thrown
Into the chamber of deputies and be
come again tho subject ot popular pas
sion and prejudice and perhaps vio
lence. Hero In Paris tho Muravleff circular
l. still a secondary subject In public
attention. Tho Dreyfus scandal, or
what Is now tho army scandal, Is the
supremo topic.
Today's developments were few un
til night. Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
body was taken quietly from the rail
road station attended by a single rep-rcsit-ntatlvc
of the general staff, and
thonrp convoyed to his native town and
Mu-icil without military honors. Sev
eral ministers were obliged to be out
of t iwn, nnd the cabinet council will
rrobably not decide upon Its policy till
Wednesday.
Cavalgnac's opposition to the pres
ent revision of the Dreyfus case was
so strong that It was said he would re
sign If the majority of the cabinet In
sisted. The attitude of the army ofll
cers Is now said to bp opposed to re
vision, but this Is not likely to continue
long In view of the Influence of public
opinion. In fact, the army's opposition
to complete the exposure of the scandal
will now probably Increase the public
demand that nothing be left uncov
ered. THREATS OF WAR.
A resort Is once more being had to
vague threats that war would bo the
Inevitable result of tho publication of
the whole truth In the Dreyfus case.
It Is solemnly urged that the country
Is unprepared for war, and It Is even
admitted that Injustice to Dreyfus
should not be corrected at tho expense
of a bloody conflict wherein 1870 might
repeat Itself.
It Is difficult to treat this bugaboo
with patience, and It Is somewhat en
couraging to note that It falls to
frighten tho French people as much as
It did a few months ago.
Moreover, there are hints that Rus
sian friendship will be sacrificed If the
truth be revealed, but this no longer
creates alarm, for the disgust over the
Muravleff circular has much weakened
the popularity of the Russian alliance.
Two scandalous facts now command
public attention, and are a crying re
proach to the French government. Plc
quart, an honest ofllcer who told the
truth and denounced falsehood, Is In
Jail for his virtues. Pafy du Clam and
Esterhazy, who are guilty of abomin
able crimes, still walk at liberty.
The mayors throughout France have
been ordered to remove -v copies of
M. Cavalgnac's recent h In tho
Chamber of Deputies tl - ntill be
posted on the walls In a. : 'me with
the order to placard It Issued shortly
nfter the speech was delivered.
London, Sept. 3. The correspondent
of the weekly Sun In Paris says In a
dispatch to his paper that never dur
ing the many years that ho has lived
In Paris has ho seen such a complete
revolution In so short a period.
Public opinion has veered clear
around, so that leading newspapers
which a week ago wouldn't hear of a
revision of tho Dreyfus case are now
not merely advising revision, but in
sisting upon It.
Only Rochefort, Drumont, and one or
two other editors hold out as a sacri
fice to decency.

STATUS OF COAL TRADE
"There has been a slight improve
ment In tho anthracite market during
the past month," says the September
letter of tho Anthracite Coal Opera
tors' association, "though llttlo In
crease In tho buying movement hns
been noted, nnd prices are practically
the same as at Its beginning. The gen
eral tone Is somewhat stronger, nnd
while buyers still hesitate to lay in
supplies other than for their Immedi
ate needs, they aro watching the situ
ation closely so ns to place their orders
promptly should there be any nssur
nnre of an advance In price. Tho gen
eral tendency Is toward a. condition
which may place tho market again In
tho hands of the selling companies and,
If this comes nbout during tho month
of September, further strength may be
anticipated for the remainder of the
year.
"A fair amount of coal has been sold
at present prices for optional delivery
at a later period, but whether this Is
In greater quantity than usual can
not be ascertained with any decree of
certainty. This practice has always
had nn Injurious effect upon the mar
ket, and It cannot be foretold what will
result from It this season. From tha
care with which most buyers aro
watching the movement of prices, it
might be Inferred that such provision
for their future needs has not been
greater than usual.
"Tho Western market shows no
change. The advance In price has been
on paper only, and all the coal being
delivered there, and that going to 'he
consumers' cellars, is at the prices es
tablished In July. There has been,
however, a greater quantity of coal
taken by consumers than last year,
but this Is probably a temporary move
ment to take supplies while this price
is assured. The Eastern market shows
a slightly better condition than that
prevailing at tide, though this Is, thus
far, largely In tho nature ot Inquiries
looking toward tho placing of orders
for future delivery.
"The efforts of tho selling companies
to avoid overstocking the tidewater
market during tho past month have
been fairly successful, though there
has been no resulting Improvement In
prices. Nor has there been any more
activity In selling than was shown In
July. Retailers have been In doubt as
to m nether or not prices would decline
further, as happened last year; would
remain constant, or advance, and con
sequently have purchased only enough
to supply their current needs from
week to week, For the same reason
they have not made any effort to in
duce their customers to take coal in
their cellars.
"Tho present dull condition of tho
market Is a natural result of the anil
ity which the selling companies dis
played In previous years. They have
promised low prices In spring and an
advance In fall, but have done tho re
verse. Retail dealers formerly bought
coal early In the season, at the price
then prevailing, and induced their cus
tomers to fill their cellars with snflh -lent
fuel to carry them over the sum
mer and well Into tho fall. While they
have had this coal on hand, the selling
companies allowed the price to decline.
Consequently, the customer called up
on the dealer for tho difference, nnd
tho latter tried to secure a similar con
cession from the company which sold
the coal to him, but with doubtful re
sults. "After meeHng this difficulty year
after year, and finding that It was
folly to expect their Interest to bo
protected by the selling companies, tho
dealers have practically ceased solic
iting such trade during the spring nnd
summer months. In permitting this,
tho anthracite sellers have given the
utmost aid to the gas companies. When
an agent of the latter endeavored to
introduce a gas range, the household
er who had ten or fifteen tons of coal
in his cellar was not prepared to con
sider changing his anthracite burning
range to a gas stove, but the man who
had no coal was an easy prey to the
exponent of the merits of gas, nnd es
pecially so when assured that there
would be no charge to him for the
change which It was proposed to make.
"If the summer consuming market Is
permitted to develope further In the
direction which It Is now taking, tho
amount required will, before many
years, be too small to warrant continu
ing the collieries In operation. What
would be the effect upon the railroads
of the cessation of all trafllc earnings
from nnthraclte for a period of one,
two or three months, Is not dlflicult to
comprehend.
"The 'Hiiiook for September Is good
by i-oiuparison w'lth the extremely un
hatlsfactory conditions which havo
prevailed for the months past. Thero
will undoubtedly be a stronger buying
movement at tide and In tho East,
which, In view of tho relatively smnll
Blocks being carried at tide or lino
points, must bo filled direct from the
collieries. At tho snme time, Western
and Canadian shipments will tnko a
considerable portion of tho product,
and the movement to lay in a winter
supply will begin In Northern New
York and at all-rail points In the east.
There is nothing, however, to warrant
tho hope of marketing an unusual ton
nage, but with a conservative estimate
for tho month, 3,750,000 tons, tliera
would bo good grounds for anticipating
lower stocks at tide and higher prices
for the fuel before tho month closed.
"An uncertain feature as to the com
ing months la tho possibility that the
vagaries of one disturbing Interest
may lead tho others to an effort to
make Its position untenable. Whether
or not this will be dono cannot bo fore
told. If It should happen, thero would
result a condition which would muko
further nnd serious Inroads on tho nl
ready decreasing rurplus which, ac
cording to the unnual statements of
the Interest referred to, it accumulated
In past years.
"The rational outcome of any move
ment to place the anthracite Industry
on a fixed nnd prosperous basis, will
be In the formation of one selling agen
cy to purchaso all coal.produced at the
collieries of both tho railroad com
panies' mlnea and thoso of the Indiv
idual operator. While thero aro many
details which would require thoughtful
study, tho plan In Itself Is sound and,
It must bo admitted, tho only ono
through which active measures can bo
taken to better suicidal concessions In
prices. Tho history of the trade has
shown that no matter how sincerely
tho vnrlous interests now controlling
tho product, may promise, or Intend,
to malntnln o firm stand In those mat
ters, they invariably fail to do so when
It 13 to their Immediate dlsadvantngo
or, as has been too often the caso, some
personal fancy hag been permitted to
over-ride business Judgment.
"It 13 not proposed, nor would It bo
pleasant, to review In detail the his
tory of tho past. It Is too well known
to all who have had Interests in nn
thraclte, nnd tho enormous sums of
money which havo been lost to the
railroads and to tho operators, are
more than sufficient proof that meth
ods which havo been permitted them
are, to sny the least, wholly Irrational,
and havo no place In the conduct of
any enterprise, and certainly none In a
business whoso product yields over one
hundred and twenty-five millions of
dollars annually.
"It Is not unusual to hear tho opin
ion expressed that individual operators
have no place, no reason for c.s.lstlns,
as a part of tho anthracite Industry.
Without entering into an argument as
to what their rights may bo, It can be
asserted that they are In it, havo their
money Invested In It, and will remiln
In it until they have exhausted their
leases, or havo the opportunity, and
desire, to proPtnbly dispose of their
interests. Whether they should havo
taken a part In tho mining Is a ques
tion which might have been decided
llfty years ago.
"At the present time It Is a fact that
they are time. During all tho years
that they have been mining, the rail
roads have opposed them, have charg
ed their product an extortionate rate
of freight, and resorted to every means
to resist their efforts to secure an
equitable arrangement as to their pro
portion of the selling price. And nfter
each strong effort, the railroads have,
finally, been forced to concede nt least
a part of what was asked. In order to
protect thel" own mining Interests.
"An operator, as an Individual, pro
ducing ono or two hundred thousand
tons a year may not be In a position to
engage In a lengthy and expensive
controversy with theso corporations,
but the operators combined, represent
ing a greater output than the owned
tonnage of any two of the mining com
panies owned by the railroads, are In
a position to make their wishes suf
ficiently clear to be well worthy tho
attention of the transporters."
IN THE PLAY HOUSES.
Miss Clara Thropp, who will appear at
tho Lyceum tonight In Leopold Jordan's
now operatic comedy, "Where's Ma
