The third was tho conclusion of Judge Ballot do Deaupre's report on the Dreyfus caso, read by htm beforo tho court of cassation. Major Marchand Is hailed as a hero by nil the enemies of tho republic. Ho is contrasted by them with tho foreign minister, M. Dolcasso, whoso good sense In tho Fashoda matter Is stig matised as cowardice. To pay ova tions to Marchand is at once a way to let off Anglophobe feeling and to be little the republic. Ho was educated by the religious orders and has been patronized by the Catholic missions In Paris, which aro only second in Im portance to tho propaganda In Romp. It may be that, being n man of humblo birth and uncultured, ho will loso his head and lot htmsolf be hoisted Into General Uoulanger's saddle, but this (3 Improbable. Marchand Is a silent man.

The call made by M. Drummont to Parisians to hang out flags in honor of Marchand has not yet been widely responded to, but tho flags are per haps reserved until the hero arrives.

Ballot do Beaupro n summing up beforo tho court of cassation In favor of Dreyfus has not disturbed the town. It was a foregone conclusion, but as tho Judgment Is to be revised, and not quashed, there will be a new trial before a court martial, with every probability of a fair trial, and It is hard to doubt that tho result will be ac quittal, there being no proof against Dreyfus. M. Drummont expressed himself this morning as delighted with the out come, "Inasmuch as tho whole affair shows that the Jews all the world ovor will act as ono man whenever Jewish Interests conflict with Christian." As a matter of fact, there Is not a single eminent Dreyfusite who Is a Jew. Still, the Ignorant masses will not see that this hatred, bred by the Dreyfus af fair. Is not likely to die. Tho main feature of the Dorouledo trial Is the attempt being mado to use it to blacken Prosldont Loubet as "Panamlst." Nothing could be more disingenuous. M. Loubet was never implicated In Panama affairs. Ho, with the cognizance of President Car not, and with his approval, tried to provent the exposure of 124 Kepubll can deputies in 1892 as "Panamlsts." He was minister of the interior and able to prevent It, On the day following the suicide of Baron Relnach tho police were about to search his papers, which contained proofs of parliamentary corruption, Loubet, and Carnot us wol', feared that the republic would founder if 124 deputies were prosecuted.

Nearly 300 soldiers Ho burled there on a bleak mound surrounded by rlcn fields, rough boards marking tho graves, which aro ranged in five un broken rows. Beyond these are Span ish blockhouses nnd bamboo hedges, which wero mown by sholls from tho American guns. Tho few soldiers who could bo spared from tho trenches came to Battery Knoll, dusty and bronzed, bearing flowers with which to strew their com rades' graves. A silk flag was placod abovo each mound. Tho day was as mild as a New England spring day, when, Just before Bunsot, a few hun dred Amorlcnns gathered In a circle around Battery Knoll, In blue nnd brown uniforms. Among the soldiers were groups of American ladles, and brown faced natives peered curiously at tho unwonted spectacle from points near by.

General Otla has Informed the war department that he will be satisfied If the army under his command Is kept at a maximum of 30,000. Tho president will give him this number. Tho situation In tho Philippines was the subject of an extended conferenco yesterday between the president and Adjutant General Corbln. In view of the moro or less alarming reports which havo been sent to the United States from Manila It is Important to know that tho president does not sham In the anxiety which these dispatches have naturally created. General Otis has kopt In close touch with the au thorities here, and if ho was in tho tight position which the press reports seem to indicate It Is felt that he would not hesitate about making his dilemma known. On the contrary, the advlcos received from him show that ho Is not In need of a largely Increased army, Ho has cabled that the press report of the activity of the Insurgents south of Manila have been greatly exagger ate ana he thinks that 80,000 mon will be. ample to meet all requirements. The present strength of the army in the Philippines, Including volunteers who are still In the service. Is 36.000. When the volunteers return some, ouo regulars win remain, The rein forcements now en route to Manila or under orders to depart will bring the a9 regulars up to the required fig ure, put as tnero win do consiaerame loss through sickness. It Is propose to, decrease the companies nqw, stationed. in garrisons in this country to their minimum, and increase the companies m the Philippines to their maximum, Is believed that this arrangement rlll give General Otis all tho wen he requires, without disarranging tho army as It is at present distributed. H can bo stated on authority that until fltmeral Otis asks for an additional force there will be no enlargement ot the army, not even to the extent of ro crultlng the 38.QQ0 natives provided for lU tlw army reorganization bill vrhlch pasad the last congress. ills Life Was Saved Mr. J.

An Important tdvnnce whs made ysatenlay In the di rection of n scheme ot arbitration combining tho Russian, British and American proposals. Tho representa tive of thene nations arrived nt an agreement which seems to find general acceptance. Sir Julian Pauncefote con ferral yesterday afternoon with setn I)W and Mr. Holls, and both the Brit ish and American proponala were ex amined, with the result that the United States will support the I'auncefoto scheme for a permanent tribunal. - In all practical and essential features the British and American plans aro iden tical. A proposal will be submitted at tho meetlns: of tho drafting committee of the arbitration committee today, under which a nation which sees a danger or gravo disagreement with another state may npply to some third state, not hnving an Immodlato Interest In the case, to act on Its behalf with a view to mediation. The other party to the dispute, will then havo an opportunity of taking a similar countc, and the mediating states will Investigate with a view of finding a pacific solution. If, despite this, war should still break out, the mediating states shall continue to represent the belligerents, without nffectlng their rights nnd du ties as neutrals, with a view of bring ing about the speediest possible cessa tion of hostilities. It Is said several delegates of tho great powers aro favorablo to this proposal. If nil young women could have the right sort of motherly advice much of the uuhappiness of the world would be avoided. There are two troubles in the way. The girls hesitate to consult tnc mothers and the mothers really know onlv n little more than the girls. Coun- I gel of the best sort is at the SiS- command of ev en woman and if she will promptly avail herself of It she will soon be re lieved of her troubles. Thousands of women, every year, write to Dr. R. V. Pierce telling their symptoms and asking his advice, which is freely given without cost. For over thirty years Dr. Pterce has been and is to-day chief consulting phy sician of the great invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He is a specialist in the diseases of women and his " Favorite Prescription " has had the greatest sale of all medicines ever devised for the cure of the troubles peculiarly feminine. Every letter addressed to Dr. Pierce is held sacredly confidential and has the most careful attention. No testimonial letter is ever published until the written consent of its author has been given. Mrs. Mary B. Lewis, of Tanner, Oilmcr Co., W. Va.. writes: " For fifteen years I suffered un told mlserv. I bad given up all hope of ever getting well. I could not lie down to sleep, nnd everything I ate would almost cramp me to death. Was very nervous and could hardly walk across the room. I only wlghd ninety pounds when 1 commenced taking these medicines; I now weigh one hundred and forty pounds and am having better health than ever before. I have taktn the 'Favorite Prescription,' the Oolden Medical Dlwovery,' and the 'Pellets.' 1 take great pleaiure lu recommending your medicines to the sick for I know that If It had not been for them I would not have been livlnr to-day. I am very thanklul to God, who put the great power lu your meoiciues mat curcu me." CUBE GUARANTEED. trameT4t.
