Looking for Release.
Maltte Demange thinks the live yours
will count for nothing, and that Dioy
fus, according to law, will have to suf
fer ten yoar detention. Many others.
Aovvever, including sevornl lawveis.
hold a contrary opinion and declare
that ho will be released in October.
This, at already cabled, Is tbo belief
o Dicnfus himself.
The coi respondent of the Associated
Pi ess this afternoon lntenogated SL
Coupols, the clerk of the court'mai tlal
on this point. He was most emphatic
In declaring that Dreyfus must sctvo
ten yeats from the date of a fresh deg
radation, the court martial having con
sidered tbo case as beginning when
Dreyfus appealed before them, dlsrc
gaidlng altogether his previous sen
tence. M. Coupols said:
"I have no doubt whatever that ae
coidlng to the nitlltaty code. Dreyfus
must undcigo degradation again us
he was lelnstated as a captain In the
aimy and he appeared befoie the court
In uniform. That he will actually bo
put thiough this ctuel ordeal 1 think
doubtful. If It depended on me. I
know what I should do and the piesl
dent of the republic may think with
me."
Col. Jouaust also declared that Diey
fus must serve ten years, but speaking
w Itli friends today, ho expressed a con
Mctlon that there would not bo a fresh
degradation. This ceremony requires
breaking the prisoner's sword and
tearing off his epaulettes Hut Drej
fus never had his sweud restored to
him und he only wore undress uniform
without epaulette, so that It would be
Impossible to entry out the legulntlons
for degradation. This Is Colonel
Jouaust's lew.
The Itesult of Two Votes.
Those who think Dreyfus will be re
leased In October because the flv:
ycur3 on Devil's island will wipe out
the piesent sentence saw in the fact
that he was sentenced for exactly ten
yais a contlimatlon of their view, but
they mi- mistaken. Ho was sentenced
to ten eais, not because that hap
pened to be double his term on Devil's
Island, but because according to the
mllltniy code the recording of two
votes In his favor fixes the teim of de
tention at ten eais. Had the verdict
beer unanimous he must have been
sentenced to twenty years.
Those professing to have ascertained,
since the veidlct, the opinion of the
judges declnie that the vote of live to
two vas not given by mutual ngree
liient but becaus" tho two judges voted
In his favor liom a conviction of his
innocence.
The present proceedure Is the appli
cation for revision, signed bv Dreyfus
today. It will be sent to Pails. Th"
clerk of the couit mat tlal must pond
a complete dossier of the trial includ
ing all the documents submitted. A re
porter will b nppolnted to carr.ine It
minutely and ascertain whether there
be any llnw in the proceedings. The
result will be submitted to the court
of revision, wlilch will maintain or an
nul the sentence.
An lntetesting fact developed today,
is that the police had tnken every pre
caution to get Dreyfus safely out of
Itennes in the event of acquittal. In
which case it was unanimously
agreed, theie would hav" been spi-Ioih
disorder and piobably an attempt up
on his life. The police had arran-jed
to conduct birr back to the military
piioii. after tho verdict with tho
same precautions as during the tilal.
He was to have been gp en civilian at
tire and a false bear and then to luavo
lelt the pilson by the small door of
the reci ultlng olllce leading to the ave
nue Do La Oiro. No one would have
expected him to leave tbrougli tl at
building which is attached to tho inll
lt.ny pilson and thanks to tne dis
guise, the police hoped tie would roach
the station safely where a rpeclal train
was waiting to rush Mm off before
the ctowd could have learned of his)
leaving the prison
Quiet Day in Paris.
Pails Sept 100 p. m. The day has
been one of absolute quiet, with no
public excitement, not even In tho Kue
de Chabiol. Theie was a l.ilnfall this
afternoon nnd the streets were prac
tically deserted Slight distill bailees
occnued yesteiday at Marseilles and
ISclfott after the veidlct of the Drey
fus com t-niai tlal was published. The
demonstiatois stoned the residence of
Jacques Dievfus, hi other of the con
demned, nt Uelfort, breaking tho win
dows and otheiwise damaging the
structure. Manv pel sons were ai rest
ed in both places
The piemler, M Wnldeck Rousseau,
was visited tills morning by most of
his colleagues. The date of the next
cabinet council has not jet been fixed.
President Doubet will piobably not io
tuin to Rainboulllet for several dnvs
Tomotrow Mattro Demange will visit
M. "Waldeok Rousseau and submit a
number of legal questions niisiug out
of the ttall.
A seml-otllcial note has been Issued
denying the assertion of the morning
papers that the minister of foreign af
fairs. M Deleas.se, transmitted to Col
onel Jouaust the piesldent of tho court
martial, through M. Paleolnguc, 1'ii
day's statement by the Relohsan Zii
ger, repeating the disavowal of Count
Von Munster and Count Von Btielow,
of Oerman relations with Dreyfus. The
note also denies that M. Delcasse asked
Germany to issue the statement.
Tho revisionist press comments upon
the verdict with the deepest Indigna
tion, declarlnrr that the battle between
tho civil and military courts will con
tinue until the victory rests with the
court of cassation.
Tho Slecle has opened a subscription
to erect nn explatoiy monument In
front of the mince of justlco at Ren
nes to remind future generations of
this outrago on Justice.
Tho Temps, lefenlng to tho rumor
that the court-niartiul signed a recom
mendation to mercy, but only ns ie
gards degradation from military rank,
says the mero mention of extenuating
circumstances proves that the Judges
had doubts of which the accused should
have received the benefit and it urges
the revisionists to remember that, In
oidur to demand Justice from the court,
It is necessary first of all to net with
calmness.
Tho Oaulols says: "A great move
ment of ronnalssance will spring from
the Dreyfus case."
Stupefaction in Berlin.
Ileilln, Sept 10 The Dreyfus ver
dict tames n feeling elinost of stupe
faction in Retlln. It had beon hoped
that tho statement of the llelchxanzel
ger, iih emanating directly from Hm
noror Willlum. would have rendered Im
possible tho repetition or what Is de
scribed ns ' one of the greatest Judicial
nnd political cries of nn;' ago."
It Is universally ngreed that tho sec
ond veidlct 13 a grave political blun
der, a violation of the laws of civiliza
tion nnd an not of rnornl cowardice
which the vvoild will find It difficult to
pardon.
The Oerman press unanimously de
scribes the verdict ns cowardly and
Impolitic, not to sav criminal. The
Cologne GnKette savs: "It in a coward
ly verdict in the busy barbiroui spirit
of the middle ages, ny thils crime tho
Judges have Imposed a line of debark
ation between Franco and the rest of
the world which although it will not
prevent dlplocntlc Inteieouis or stay
the common exchange of products, will,
according to nil thu notions of right,
justice, honor, tolerance and ethic.
which the civ llbed world bears with
It In the twentieth ennturv, form a bar
rier only to be removed by time and
laborious defeat."
The other leading Journals comment
upon the verdict In similar Htr.tlna.
ENGLISH INDIGNATION.
The News of the Sentence Kecelved
with Groans.
London, Sept. 11. It would bo dim
cult to describe adequately the Indig
nation that the veidlct of the Dreyfus
court-martial has evoked everywhere
In Hngland. The excitement in tho Jew
ish quartets of London Is only natural.
Special piajeis were offeied through
out Satin day in all the svnagogues on
behalf of Dnyfus and as soon as the
verdict wns known, Jews and Jewesses
were seen at every stieet corner, ex
piesslnjr execintlon and many sobbing
bitterly
At the music halls, especlallj the
Palace theatio, whete cinematograph
nletures of the Incidents and leading
actors of the Drevfus affair were ex
hibited, the news was greeted with
groans and hisses In tho French
quatters of London there wns much
excltement.accompanled by some stteet
fighting.
In almost all tho places of public
w oi ship yesterday pulpit leferences
were made to the verdict. Canon
Scott-Holland, at St. Paul's cathedral,
said"
"A nation Is on Its tilal. Fiance
stands at the judgment bai. All civil
ization Is waiting to know whether to
monow's news may add nny thing to
qualify the inked cruelty of .i bais
telegram, anything to relievo the stag
geicd conscience."
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the well
known Wcslejan divine, preaching m
St. James hall slid: "Five unhappy
judges have already taken their places
in the Judgment ot the human race,
beside Judas, Pilate, Judge Jeff revs,
and other creatuies. Thev have sen
tenced their victim to a death of im
julsonment, but they have decreed
themselves forever to the scorn, de
rision and oxcci.it Ion of the human
race. Unless France shakes off this
Infamy, she will be left without an ally
or a friend."
Rev. Arthur Robins, chaplain in or
dinal v to the queen, preaching at Holy
Ttlnlty, -Wlndsoi, said- "Tho clvllbeil
world Is aghast at this great orimo
of five abject Judges "
The Dally Mall sas: "Rennes Is
France's moral Sedan."
Tho Dally Graphic says: "The Ren
nes verdict will live forever as the
supteme effort of human wiong-head-edness
"
OPINIONS OF RABBIS.
Dreyfus Was Simply the Scapegoat
Americans Will Toiget.
Chicago, Sept. 10 Piomlnent Jews
of America were asked by the Tribune
for their opinion on the Dieyfus ver
dict. All united In denouncing the ti ial
and Its icsult as a travesty on Justice.
Rabbi Hmll G. II lif.cn. of Chicago,
said: "It is the old, old stoiy. When
a counti y wants a scapegoat on which
to unload all Its shortcomings It se
lects a Jew. That Is tiue the woild
over. I have no doubt that had Drev
fus not been a Jew the icsult would
have been different I think the out
come of this tilal will Inlluence Jews
to stay away from the Palis exposition.
"The effect on the American people
as a whole may be diffeient. Just now
they think Franco has done Dieyfus
an injustice, but they will foiget. Last
year tho Trench levlled America be
cause wo dated to whip Spain without
Franco's consent. This year the Paris.
Ian hotels could not hold the vast
hordes ot Americans. That Is the way
wo forget."
Simon Wolf, of Washington; Rabbi
Joseph Kraus, of Philadelphia, and
Cyrus Adlfr, of Washington, expiessed
themselves strongly.

The Cnthedial chapter of Gian, cap
