t DREYFUS CASE IS CLOSED His Innocence Established and Army Rank Restored. RIOTOUS SCENE IN CHAMBER l Rehabilitation of Dreyfus Gives Rise to Stormy Scenes Between Govern ment and Opposition Defenders. Alfred Dreyfus was completely ac quitted of the charges on which he was condemned as a traitor, dlsmlss i ed fnm the French army and im prisoned on evil's Uland, and regard ing which France has been torn for years by the most bltterpolitienl and racial agitation. His vindication is two-fold, the snprenve court first nn- nouncing its decision establishing the entire innocence of the accused man, and the ministry later deciding to present an urgent bill in parliament restoring Dreyfus to the army with advanced rank, and otherwise giving the government's most ample repara tion. The decision of the court wass a foregone conclusion, as exhaustive ., Inquiries had completely demolished Hie fabric of the accusation against ' lVeyt'us, showing that the real cul Jirit was Major Count Esterhazy. The (leclslgii therefore aunuailed the con tieniniition of the Rennes court mar tial and ordered that the acquittal lie posted and published throughout J'ranee. The bill to reinstate Dreyfus was passed by parliament 473 to 42, while I hat for the restoration of Colonel I'icqnart received 477 affirmative to 17 negative votes. . The scene of tumultuous disorder V-hieli marked the enactment of the Jaw restoring Alfred Dreyfus to the army was followed by a bloody duel in which Under Secretary of State fiarraut was dangerously wounded by the sword of M. Puglle.si-Conti. The duel assumed the aspect of a verit able combat between the Government Jnd the opposition, as M. Sarraut's Seconds were Ministers Clemenceau and Thomson, while M. Pugliesi Conti's were M. Millevoye and Gener al Jacquet, who were drawn from the elements which bitterly resist the Government's rehabilitation of Drey lus. Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the ar tillery, a member of a wealthy He brew family of Alsace, where he was lK)rn in 1S59, was, on October 14, 1894, arrested on the charge of com municating French military secrets to a foreign 'power. Two months later Dreyfus jwas tried by court martial and found guilty and January 5 he was publicly degraded and deported to Devils Is land, near Cayenne. French Guiana, there apparently to spend the re mainder of his life. The friends and relatives of Drcy Su, notably his wife, always believed ' in his innocence and devoted all their energies to the work of proving that he had been unjustly condemned. Colonel Picquart, when he became chief of the intelligence department of the French army iu 1S95, examined the documents in the proceedings against Dreyfus and questioned the correctness of the proceedings and, conrlnudng his investigations, formed the spinion that the evidence pointed to Major Count Esterhazy as being the guilty man. Picquart determined to see that justice was done and there ensued a fight, to preserve the honor of the French army. Dreyfus, on November 15, 1S97, charged Este.Thazy with writing the most incriminating document, but the latter waB acquitted by a court mar tial in the following January.

HUE'S DID IS LOWEST New Firm is Winner After Long Fight for Armor Plate. UNCLE SAM WILL BE GAINER Carnegie and Bethlehem Companies Will Have to Lower Prices to Get Federal Work. Armor plate of the highest quality U to be furnished for the battleships South Cnrolina and Michigan by the Mldvale Company at $34S a ton, which Is below the cost of plate that is be ing placed on battle-ships now in construction. The Midvale people will get the contract for the plating of both ships, and the Carnegie and Bethlehem plants will soon have to close unless they get orders from abroad. Each bid was a surprise to the ordinance officers of the navy. The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies for the first time said they would not ask the Government to pay royalties. The bids submitted by them were net prices. The three companies made big cuts under the bids made by them a little more than a year ago. The Mld vale people dropped 52 a ton on pres ent prices, Carnegie $97 and Bethle hem $(i2. These figures are on class A armor, which includes the heaviest plates. On class B armor Mldvale dropped $4S, Carnegie $73 and Bethle hem $02. On class C Midvale made a reduction of $14, Curnegie $41 and Bethlehem $30. The bids were as follows: Carnegie Steel Company, 7.32S tons, aggregate bid, $2,733,500, which was upon a basl3 of $370 a ton for the bulk of the armor. Bethlehem Steel Company, 7.32S tons, aggregate bid, $2,813,508, upon a basis of $381 a ton or all the armor except a small amount used for bolts ami nuts.

Dun., & Co. 's review of trade says: Midsummer quiet conditions nre more in evidence that at any previous - time this saason, al though trade continues fur in. excess of earlier years, and pre parations for fall nnd winter are un abated. Confidence Is ivi commer cial sentiment, induced by exception ally favorable crop reports and the absence of any distinctly adverse fac tor in the wholesale distribution for this period, and the majority of re ports indlcate satisfactorily prompt collections, while at some points sum mer stocks are being reduced by clearance sales. Not only the leading Industries but neiarly nil manufacturing undertak ings have orders assuring activity well into the future, and scarcity of labor Is still the chief complaint. Dis putes as to wages are practically set tled at the soft coal mines, and an thracite collieries are resuming on a sliding scale, giving hard coal miners an advance of 1 per cent In July. Evidences of the unexcelled business during tho fiscal year just ended are found in every statement that ap pears. Railroad earnings in Juno were 10.8 per cent larger than in 1905, and for eign commerce at New York for the last week shows an increase of $1, 899,887, in imports and a loss of $794,622 In exports, as compared with last year's figures. Temporary ease in call money did not weaken the quotations of time loans, which re flect the expectation of heavy ship ments of currency to the Interior for crop moving In the near future. Many iron furnaces and sleel mills have resumed after a brief season of Idleness for repairs, inventories nnd settlement, of wage scales, so that the production is once more very heavy. Textile manufacturing conditions nre not materially altered. Failuris for (lie week numbered 202 In the United States, against 223 last year, and 21 In Canada, compared with 20 a year ago.
