DREYFUS CONVICTED.
Sentenced to Ten Years Impri
sonment For Treason
Tat 9rt Years Already Served May It
Counted as Doable Time and lilt Karly
Release la I'robable The Verdict on
deuinad Hy All the Civilized fiovern
inent of the K.nllre Country.
RENNES, Sept. 11. Dreyfus hae
borne the terrible shock with marvel
ous fortitude, one might almost say
with unnatural calm. He seemed stu
pefied when M. Labor! communlcateJ
to him the verdict, but he has sincj
rallied. He passed a quiet night and
he rose when his orderly brought him
water at 5 o'clock In the morning. Jusl
as he did during the trial when it was
necessary.
Madame Dreyfus and Matthieu Drey
fus, his brother, visited him during the
course of the afternoon, his brothet
subsequently leaving for Paris. The
application to tha court of revision
was taken to him at noon by M. La
borl'a assistant and he signed it. He
CAPTAIJt DREYFUS.
has spoken little, though he has seemed
In better spirits than might have been
anticipated. The meeting with his wife
was naturally very affecting, but both
held up ns well as possible. He said
to her: "I am not uneasy regarding
myself, as I shall soon be free, but 1
think of you and my poor children.
They will be branded as the children of
a traitor."
He Is convinced that the 10 years'
imprisonment to which he is sentenced
will be wiped out by the five years of
solitary seclusion he has undergone
on Devil's Island, and he expects to be
released by Oct. 15. which will be Ave
years from the date of his former con
demnation. He Is so sanguine that he
has made an extraordinary request of
his wife for a novel to read In the
meantime, explaining that his mind Is
so shaken and weighed down by recenl
events that he needs to divert his
thoughts and try to get all the recollec
tlong of. the last three months out of
his mind. He thinks that reading a
novel will afford the d-slred mental
repose and keep him from brooding.
Madame Dreyfus' father said his
daughter was bearing up well, consld
rrlng the circumstances, but desired
to remain undisturbed In view of the
emotional strain of the Interview with
her husband. M. Hadamnnd said thai
Mine. Dreyfus and the family were
hopeful and looked forward to some.
favorable develpoment.
"The verdict," he added. "Is an In
famy Captain Dreyfus Is in poor
health as everyone knows. He has
been extremely ill from the moment of
his arrival In France and has been put
on a special regime. His health has
not Improved and the nervous effect of
this terrible blow Is bound to
react on his general condition. His
suppression of all outward emotion Is
due to his almost Incredible force of
will, but it does not Imply that he Is
Insensible to the mental and physical
torture he has undergone. On the con
trary, the family Just now see In his
weak state of health an abnormal Im
passivity, an ugly sign and fear for
him more than they care to express."
One strange fact is the extraordin
ary difference of opinion respecting the
exact effect of the Judgment whether
he can be degraded again, and whether
the five years' solitary confinement
he has undergone will be regarded as
equivalent to the 10 years' detention
to which he is now sentenced and he
be released next month. This matter
Is quite aside from the general Im
pression that he will be pardoned in a
few days by President Loubet who will
find some ground to exercise clemency.
M. Demange thlnka the live years
will count for nothing and that Drey
fus according to law, will have to suf
fer 10 years detention. Many others,
however, Including several lawyers,
hold a contrary opinion and declare
that he will be released In October.
This, as already cabled, Is the belief
of Dreyfus himself.
Colonel Jouaust also declared that
Dreyfus must serve 10 years, but
Fpeaking with friends, he expressed a
conviciion that there would not be a
fresh degradation. This ceremony re
quires breaking the prisoner's sword
and tearing off his cpauletes. But
Dreyfus never had his sword restored
to him and he only wore, undress uni
form without epaulctes, so that it
would he impossible to carry out the
regulations for degradation. This is
Colonel Jouaust's view.
Those who think Dreyfus will be re
leased in October because the five
years on Devil's island will wipe
out the present sentence, saw in the
fact that he was sentenced for exact
ly 10 years, confirmation of their view,
but they were mistaken. He was sent
enced to 10 years not because that
happens to be double his term on Dev
il's Island, but because, according to the
military code, the recording of two
votes In his favor fixes the term of
detention at 10 years. Had the ver
dict been unanimous, he might have
been sentenced to 20 years.
An Interesting fact developed Is that
the police had taken every precaution
to get Dreyfus safely out of Itennes
In the event ot acquittal, in which
case it was unanimously agreed there
would have been serious disorder and
probably an attempt upon his life. The
police had arranged to conduct him
back to the military prison after the
verdict with the same precautions as
during the trial. He was to have been
given civilian attire and a false beard
and then to have left the prison by
the small door of the recruiting office,
leading t the Avenue de la Gare.
No one would have expected him
to leave through that bunding, which
Is attached to the military prison and,
thanks to the disguise, the police hoped
he would reach the station safely where
a special train was waiting to rush him
off before the crowd could have learned
ot his leaving the prison.
INDIGNATION IN ENGLAND.
Everybody Condemn the Verdlot, Even
From the Pulpits.
LONDON, Sept. 11. It would be
difficult to describe adequately the In
dignation the verdict of the Dreyfua
court martial has evoked everywhere
In England. The excitement In the
Jewish quarters of London is only nat
ural. Special prayers were offered
throughout Saturday in all the syna
gogues on behalf of Dreyfus, and ai
soon as the verdict was known. Jewi
and Jewesses were seen at every street
corner expressing execration and many
sobbing bitterly.
At the Music halls, especially the
Palace theater where cinematograph
pictures of the Incidents and leading
actors of the Dreyfus affair were ex
hibited, the news was greeted with
groans and hisses. In the French
quarter of London there was much ex
cltement, accompanied by some street
fighting.
CONDEMNED IN GERMANY.

BERLIN, Sept. 11. The Dreyfus
verdict causes a feeling almost of stu
pefaction in Berlin. It has been hoped
that the statement of the reichstag, as
emanating directly from Emperor
William, would have rendered Impos
sible the repetition of what Is de
scribed as "one of the greatest Judicial
and political crimes of any age."
It Is universally agreed that the sec
ond verdict Is a grave political blun
der, a violation of the laws of clvlllza.
tlon and an act of moral cowardice,
which the world will find it difficult
to pardon.
The German press unanimously de
scribes the verdict as cowardly and
Impolitic, not to say criminal.
FRENCH FLAG BURNED.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 11. When the
news of Dreyfus' fate reached Indian
spoils, Captain Wallace Foster, who
originated the plan of floating the
American flag over Indiana school
houses, announced that he would have
the flag of Franco burned in the pub
lie streets.
That evening a large crowed was
drawn to his home In North Capitol
avenue, and encircled by women, chll
dren, bicycles and buggies, the trl
colors were brought out and burned on
the Macadam boulevard.
There was loud cheering as the flag
which Captain Foster had obtained at
the world's fair was reduced to ashes,
A Frenchman participated In the cere,
mony.
Drryfnn Mill Not He Deported.
PARIS, Sept. 1. Under the terms of
his eentence. Dreyfus will have the
privilege of serving it In France. He
will not be again deported. It Is ru
mored that the five years he served
on Devil's Island r. - be reckoned as
equivalent to a similar period of con
finement In a cell, nich counts dou
ble. In this event D-eyfus will be con
sidered as having purged his convic
tion and will be released. If he is again
degraded the ceremony will be carried
out In the Champ de Mars at Rennes.
Public 1'repared For a l'ardon.
PARIS, Sept. 12. The Journal de
Debats says it hopes that after the
Rennes verdict the sentiment of hu
manity will find scope even in the most
desperate of conflicts. Public opinion,
It adds, is quite prepared for the event

CONSUL UNDER A CLOUD.

at llnWAon f ty.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Ther la
another Pennsylvania tonsul best !es
Dr. Bedloe against whom charges ar?
pending at the state department, a d
James C. McCook, stat'oned at Daw
son Cltv, Northwest Ter.ltrry, ig the
unlucky man.
The state department has clippings
from the Klondike Nugget of Dawson
wherein it is set forth that on April 12
McCook had a very hilarious time with
the men and women in a dance hall.
The newspaper alleged that he tried to
beat a young Canadian because he re
fused to forswear allegiance to her
Britannic majesty, when McCook came
Into the hall, roaring out. "Who's not
an American?" and offering to equip
anyone not so blessed with a full-
fledged citizenship in this glorious re
public.
Before the consul left the dance hall
he lost his watch chain and the next
day he had a girl arrested for the
theft, but the evidence produced at
the trial was to the effect that during
the evening McCook had told the girls
who surrounded him to take anything
he had, and had given the watch and
chain to "Nellie."
Before the affair of April 12 the rec
ords of the state department show thit
Consul McCook sued The Nugget for
$20,000 for libel, the action being based
on a cartoon showing the consul per
spiring very profusely In an effort to
write a dispatch In grammatical Eng
lish. The record shows that . he lost
his suit. The department knew noth
ing about the scrape in which the con
sul was Involved until In his dispatches
he began defending himself. Then he
was investigated and the facts were
brought out.
The department has Just closed the
newspaper Incident by admonishing
Mr. McCook that a consul should avoid
controversies with newspapers.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Taxation af Deeds for War Keveaoa Ea
tend to i hnreh Property.
WASHINGTON. Sept. I. Acting-
Commissioner Wlliams of the Internal
revenue bureau has rendered an im
portant decision on the question of the
taxation under the war revenue action
of a deed of conveyance of church
property, executed by the executors of
a Roman Catholic bishop to his suc
cessor. The acting commissioner held
that such deed was taxable.
The question arose in the case of the
Right Rev. Bishop McGovern of Har
rlsburg. Pa., who willed the property
to his executors, and they in turn con
veyed it to his successor. Right Rev.
J. F. Shanahan, the present bishop of
the diocese of Harrisburg.
It wan contended in opposition to the
tax that the bishop holds the title to
the property in trust, and that he has
no personal interest or estate therein.
It Is held, however, that the deed ful
ly vests the title, and under the law
the succeeding bishop is a purchaser,
although he does not pay any consid
eration for the conveyance. A stamp
tax of $1 per $1,000 of value will be re
quired. t'recautlo" Againat a Panic.
