VOLUME 21. DREYFUS PASSED A QUIET NIGHT. He Has Borne the Shock With Marvelous Fortitude. Has Signed the Application to the Court of Revision. Spoke Little, but Seemed in Better Spirits Than Anticipated, and His Wife is Bearing Up Rennes Has Been Perfectly Calm To-Day and No Sign or Demonstration Has Been Made and the Troops and Gendarmes Are Withdrawn.

RENNES, Sept. 30. Dreyfus has borne the terrible shock with marvelous fortitude, one might almost say with unnatural calm. Yesterday he seemed stupefied when M. Labori communicated to him the verdict, but has since rallied.

He passed a quiet night and when his orderly brought him wat. at 5 o'clock this morning, just as he did during the trial, when it was necessary. Madame Dreyfus and Mathieu Dreyfus, his brothei-, visited him during the course of the afternoon. His brother subsequently left for Paris. The application to the Court of Revision was taken to him at noon by M.

Labori's assistant and he signed it. To-day he has spoken but little, though he has seemed in better spirits than might have been anticipated. The meeting with hJ wife was naturally very affecting, but both held up as well as possible. He said to her: "I am not uneasy regarding myseK, as I shall soon be free, but I think of you and my poor children as the children of a traitor." He is convinced that the ten years' imprisonment to which he is sentenced will be wiped out by the five years of solitary seclusion he has undergone, and he expects to be released by October lath, which will be five years from the date of his former condemnation. He is so sanguine that he has made an extraordinary request of his wife for a novel to be read in the meantime, explaining that his mind is so shaken and weighed down by recent events that he needs to divert his thoughts and to try and get all the recollections of the last three months out of his mind.

He thinks that reading a novel will afford the desired mental repose and keep him from brooding. The correspondent of the Associated Press called upon Madame Dreyfus thla afternoon after her visit with ktu. busband and saw her father. M. Hadamard, who said his daughter was bearing up wonderfully well, considering the circumstances, but desired to remain undisturbed to-day in view of the strain of the interview.

If. Hadamard said that Madame Dreyfus and the family were hopeful and looked forward to some favorable developments. "The verdict," he added, "is an infamy. 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 yesterday's 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 contrary, the family just now see in his weak state of health and abnormal impassivity, an ugly sign and fear for him more than they care to express." The town to-day was perfectly calm. There has not been a sign nor a demonstration nor a cry for or against Dreyfus or the Jews heard anywhere. A number of people gathered to see Madame Dreyfus visit the prison, but they were quite respectful.

The troops and masses of gendarmes who yesterday gave the center of Rennes the appearance of a military camp, have completely vanished. There are hardly any gendarmes in sight except near the Dreyfus residence, where a few are posted. Cavalry officers were seen frequenting the cafes this afternoon, showing that the authorities no longer fear any trouble here and are allowing the officers to leave their barracks. So far as can be ascertained, military men are perfectly satisfied with the verdict which they interpret as safeguarding the honor of the army and at the same time doing an act of mercy to Dreyfus, who, they say, sufficiently expiated his crime in the awful existence he passed on Devil's Island. They point that even if he is sent to Fort Corte.

it will be to receive henceforth the humane treatment he has experienced since his return lo France. One strange fact Is the extraordinary defense of the opinion expressing the exact effect of the judgment, whether he was to be degraded again and whether the five years' solitary confinement he had undergone will be regarded as equivalent to the ten years' detention to which he is now sentenced and whether he will be releasee xc month. This matter is quite aside from the general impression that he will be pardoned in a few days by Present Eoubet. who will find some ground to exercise clemency. M.

Demange thinks the five years will count for nothing, and that Dreyfus, according to the law. will have to suffer ten 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 ot Dreyfus himself. The correspondent of the Associated Press this afternoon interrogated M.

Coupers, the Clerk of the court-martial, on this point. He was most emphatic in declaring that Dreyfus must serve ten years from the date of a fresh degradation, the court-martial having considered the case as beginning when Dreyfus appeared before them, disregarding altogether his previous sentence. THE RECORD-UNION. M. Coupers said: "I have no doubt whatever that according to the military code Dreyfus must undergo degradation again, as he was reinstated as a Captain in the army, and he appeared before the court in uniform.

That he will actually be put through this cruel ordeal I think doubtful. It' it depended on me I know what I should do, and the President of the republic may think with me." Colonel Jouaust also declared that Dreyfus must serve ten years, but speaking with friends to-day, he expressed a conviction that there would not be a fresh degradation. This ceremony requires breaking the prisoner's sword and tearing off his epaulets. But Dreyfus never had his sword restored to him, and he only wore undress uniform without epaulets, so that it would be impossible to carry out the regulations of degradation. This is Colonel Jouaust's view.

Those who think Dreyfus will be released 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 exactly ten years a confirmation of their view, but they are mistaken. He was sentenced to ten years not because that happened to double his confinement on Devil's Island, but because according to the military code the recording of two votes in his favor fixes the term of detention at ten years. Had the verdict been unanimous he must have been sentenced to twenty years. Those professing to have ascertained since the verdict the opinion of the Judges declare that the vote of five to two was not given by mutual agreement, but because the two Judges voted in his favor from a conviction of his innocence. The present procedure is the application for revision, signed by Dreyfus today.

It will be sent to Paris. The Clerk of the court-martial must send a complete dossier of the trial, including all the documents submitted. A reported will be appointed to examine it minutely and ascertain whether there be any flaw in the proceedings. The result will be submitted to the Court of Revision, which will maintain or annul the sentence. An interesting fact developed to-day is that the police had taken every precaution to get Dreyfus safely out of Rennes in the event of 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 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 to the Avenue de la Gare. No one would have expected him to leave through that building, 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 heard of his leaving. ABSOLUTE QUIET AT PARIS.

Slight Disturbances at Marseilles and Bel fort After the Verdict. PARIS. Sept. 10. 0 p.

m. The lay has been one of absolute quiet, with no public excitement, even in the Rue de Chabrol. There was a rainfall this afternoon and the streets were practically deserted. Slight disturbances occurred yesterday at Marseilles and Belfort after the verdict of the Dreyfus court-martial was published. The demonstrators stoned the residence of Jacques Dreyfus, brother of the condemned, at Belfort, breaking the windows and otherwise damaging the structure.

Many persons were arrested in both places. The Premier. M. was visited morning by most of his colleagues. The date of the next Cabinet council has not yet been President Loubet will probably not return to Ramboillet for several days To-morrow M.

Demange will visit M. TValdeck-Rousseau and submit a number of legal questions arising out of the trial. A semi-official note been issued denying the assertion of the morning papers that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Dei Casse, transmitted to Colonel Jouauat, the President of ibe court-martial through M. Paleolonrue, Friday, a statement by the "Reichsanzeiger," repeating the disavowals of Count yon Munster and Count yon Buelow of Germon relations with Dreyfus.

The note also denied that M. Del asked Germany to issue the statement. The revisionist press comments upon the verdict with deepest indignation, declaring- that the battle between the civil and military courts will continue until the victory rests with the Court of Cassation. The "Siecle" has opened a subscription to anSexpiatory monument in front of the Palace of Justice at Renneg to remind future generations of this outrage of justice. The referred to the rumor that the members rf the court-martial signed a recommendation to mercy but only as regards the degradation of the military rank, says the mere mention of extenuating circumstances proves that the Judges had a doubt of which the accused should have received the benefit and it urges the revisionists to remember that, in order to demand justice from the country, it is necessary first of all to act with calmness.

The "Gaulois" says: A great movement of rennaissance will spring from the Dreyfus case. FEELING OF STUPEFACTION. Agreed at Berlin That the Conviction is a Grave Political Blunder. i BERLIN, Sept. 10.

The Dreyfus verdict causes a feeling almost of stupefaction in Berlin. It has been hoped that the statement of the "Reichsan zeiger," as emanating directly from Emperor William would have rendered impossible the repetition of what is described 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 blunder, a violation of the laws of civilization i and an act of moral cowardice which I the world will find it difficult to par. don. The German press unanimously scribes the verdict as cowardly and im- I politic, nor to say criminal. The "Cologne Gazette" says: Tt is a cowardly verdict, in the barbarous of the middle ages.

By this crime i the Judges have imposed a line of de- marcation between France and the rest SACRAMENTO, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, IMAGES. of the world, which although it will not pre diplomatic intercourse and stay the common exchange of products, will, according to all the notions of right, Justice, honor, tolerance and ethics which the civilized world bears with it in the twentieth century, form a barrier only to be removed by time and laborious effort. The ether leading journals comment upon the verdict in similar strains. INDIGNATION AT LONDON. Prominent Divines Allude the Infamy of LONDON, Sept, would be difficult to describe adequately the indignation the verdict of the Dreyfus courtmartial has evoked everywhere in England.

The excitement in the Jewish quarters of London is only natural. Special prayers were offered throughout Saturday in all the synagogues on behalf of Dreyfus, and as soon as the verdict was known Jews and Jewesses were seen at every street corner, expressing execration and many swearing bitterly. In the French quarter of London there was much excitement, accompanied by street fighting. In almost all the places of public worship pulpit references were made to the verdict. Canon Scott-Holland, at St.

Paul's Cathedral, said: "A nation is on trial. France stands at the judgment bar. All civilization is waiting to know whether to-morrow's news may add anything to qualify the naked cruelty of a bare tele-; gram, anything to relieve the staggered consciences." Rev. Hugh Price, the well-known Wesleyan divine, preached at St. I James' Hall and said: "Five unhappy Judges have already taken their places in the judgment of the human race beside Judas, Pilate, Judge Jeffries and other They-have sentenced their victim to ft decade of imprisonment, but they have decreed themselves forever to the scorn, derision and execration of the human race.

Unless France shakes orf this infamy, she will be left without an ally or friend." Rev. Arthur Robbins, Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen, preaching at Holy Trinity, Windsor, said: "The civilized world is aghast at this crime of five abject Judges." PRESS COMMENT. The "Daily Mail" says: Rennes is, France's moral Sedan. The "Daily Graphic" says: The Rennes verdict will live forever as the supreme effort of human wrong-headedness. The "Daily Chronicle" says that General Mercier issues from the case one of the blackest scoundrels in history.

The "Daily News" remarks: It is no longer Dreyfus, but France herself, that is on trial. The "Morning Post" declares that "the mitigation of the sentence will be Interpreted all over the world as evi-1 dence that the Judges who have con- demned Dreyfus really believed him innocent." The "Daily Telegraph" says: This infamous judgment disgraces France, dishonors her army, insults the Kaiser and offends the best principles of humanity. There seems nothing left for France but a revolution and a war will reduce her to i 'l of Spain. The "Standard" says: We are watching by the sick bed of a great nation, none knowing what new and deadly form the malady may assume. The "Times" observes: We do not hesitate to pronounce it the greatest and most appalling prostitution of justice the world has witnessed in modern times.

All the outrageous scandals which marked the course of the trial pale into insignificance beside the crowning scandal of the verdict. With the exception of the Jesuit organ in Rome and the Anti-Semite papers, the press of the whole world is ringing with execrations. Even the Russian press joins in the chorus, although perhaps the Jews are nowhere more hated than in Russia. The Judges are everywhere described as criminals and gloomy speculations are indulged in as to what future is in store for France. The German press is especially indignant, the "National Zeitung" remarking that "even the worst enemy of France could not have wished what happened." Papers of all nationalities fall in with the idea of boycotting the exhibition.

is understood! that General Sir Redvers Buller will Start for Cape Town next Saturday The Indian authorities are chartering steamers to transport troops to South Africa as rapidly as possible. Although the aspect of affairs is more peaceable, the special dispatches from Johannesburg report the greatest anxiety Fifteen hundred people left town on Saturday, and it is proposed to transfer the business of the Stock Exchange to i Cape Town. The Johannesburg Town Council is appealing to the Government for power to start relief work to meet the exceptional distress.

EMBASSADOR EUSTIS. His Funeral Will Take Place This Evening at Newport. NEWPORT (R. Sept. 10.

The funeral of James B. Eustis, former United States Embassador to France, will take place Monday evening from the home of the deceased in Eustis avenue. A short Episcopal service will be conducted by Rev. Henry Morgan Stone, rector of the Trinity Church, and then the body will be taken by boat to New York, and thence to Louisville, where it will be buried beside the remains of Mrs. Eustis.

The body will be accompanied by James B. Eustis. a son, and William C. Hustis. a nephew.

A brief committal service will be held at Louisville. There were many callers at the Eustis cottage to-day offering condolences and leaving floral tributes. Mr. Eustis' review of the Dreyfus case, with which he had been occupied during the summer, had been so far completed that it needed only the concluding chapter, and that chapter would have been finished in the reconviction of Dreyfus Saturday. Mr.

Eustis did not live to write it. TRADE ON THE LOWER YUKON. Several Transportation Companies Will Quit Business. Only Four Companies Wiii Remain in the the Field. Falling Off of the Passenger Business Has Been Very Marked This Cleveland Brings Down a Million Dollars From St.

Michael for the Seattle United States Assay Office. ST. MICHAEL, (Alaska), Aug. 24 (Via Seattle, Sept. 10).

The season which is rapidly drawing 1 to a close will see the exit of several companies engaged in the transportation business on the Lower Yukon River, leaving the field to four companies, the North American Trading and Transportation Company, the Alaska Commercial Company, the Alaska Exploration Company and the Empire Transportation Company. It is thought by transportation people that the latter company will devote the greater part of its attention to the ocean and Cape Nome. The experiment by the Empire Company of trying to navigate the Lower Yukon with the three-stack, six-crew tug Empire, towing three or more barges has proven a failure. It is said the experiment cost a large sum of money. The Empire Company has secured from the Government a concession of land between the North American Trading and Transportation Company and the Alaska Commercial Company upon which a wharf and warehouse will be built.

The Alaska Exploration Company, which has had its plant across the bay from the two old companies, has spent a large sum this year in building warehouses, a hotel and wharves on this side below the Alaska Commercial Company. The falling off in the passenger business has been very marked this season, hundreds coming down the river where thousands came last year. 1 COAST BASEBALL.

The Karri man Syndicate Quietly Working for One. CHICAGO, Sept. 10. The "Chronicle" says: It is said by prominent railroad men that the Harriman Syndicate is quietly working on a plan for transcontinental railroad system. This is to be brought about by the extension of the Illinois Central Railroad to Omaha.

The latter company has its line to the Missouri River town about finished. It is said that when this connecting link is completed the Union Pacific and Illinois Central systems will be welded financially and physically to form one line from Chicago to the North Pacific coast. When this is done, the Harriman Syndicate will have the Baltimore and Ohio from New York and Philadelphia to Chicago. From Omaha it will own the Union Pacific and the Oregon Railway and Navigation line. In addition to this, it owns the Illinois Central from.

Chicago to New Orleans and the Chicago and Alton to St. Louis and Kansas City and is figuring on the control of the Kansas City, Pittsburg ancj Gulf from Kansas City to the Gulf of Mexico. Chicago will be the center of this great system. From here it will have its own lines to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and two routes from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico and a side line to Sioux City, lowa The syndicate's system will also be strongly allied with the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the two largest railroads in the Southwest. With the purchase of the Minneapolis and St.

Louis by the Illinois Central, which is reported to be near a probability, the syndicate will also have a line to St. Paul and Minneapolis. THE BANTAM MATCH. Terry McGovern and Pedlar Palmer Fight To-Night. NEW YORK, Sept.

Mo- Govern of Brooklyn and Pedlar Palmer of England are to meet to-morrow for a 910,000 purse in a twenty-flveround bout at 110 pounds at the Westchester Club, and the fight has attracted unusual interest. McGovern and Palmer, the sportsmen say, are two very evenly matched fighters, and as each has trained hard there should be a battle from start to finish. Both are clever, game and clean cut. They have scores of victories to their credit, are pugilists of the widest popularity in their respective countries, and consequently the interest will be at the fever point. A number of Englishmen have come from the other side to back Palmer in the fight, and scores of them already in America will journey from distant points for the same purpose.

The preponderance of money here is naturally in the hands of the Americans, and almost to a man they have picked Mc- Govern to win. Consequently he is a favorite in the betting. A POPULIST CHAPLAIN Advocates Undivided Support of the Administration's Policy. LINCOLN Sept. James Mailley of the First Nebraska, who preached the sermon at the formal opening of the State G.

A. R. reunion this evening, turned the initial exercises into a genuine expansion love feast. Chaplain Mailley is a Populist, but his sentiment was that there should be but one opinion on the question of expansion, and that the policy of the Administration in the Philippines is worthy of undivided support. He declared the war in Luzon a holy one, and said that rather than see a backward step taken he would return to the islands and fight.

Other speakers spoke in the same strain, and the soldiers applauded the sentiments. BICYCLING AT VAILSBURG. McFarland Wins the Five-Mile Professional Race. NEW YORK, Sept. was great enthusiasm among the 6,000 spectators at the Vailsburg (N.

Trying to Array the Latin-American Countries Against Us. The Brazilian Government Influenced bj Reports. Clearly a Prearranged Plan of Spanish and Other European Governments to Excite 111-Will Against United States in Order to Promote Their Commercial Interests and Diminish Ours. MEXICO CITY, Sept. advices received from Brazil show that the Government here has been greatly influenced by the accounts regarding: the alleged secret understanding between the Bolivian and the United States Government, by which the latter Power was to take over the territory on the upper Amazon claimed by Bolivia, a region rich in rubber.

The Buenos Ayres "Standard," controlled by British subjects, asserts that President Rocas' visit to Brazil was to consult with the President of that country with a view to mutual defense against the Yankees. "There is no doubt that the Spanish and European Governments generally have given their organs in Latin America the hint to publish articles designed to embitter South and Central America against the United States and its people, and break up the growing sentiment in favor of Pan-Amenm nism, which is greatly dreaded by European commercial interests so strongly intrenched in South America, where American interests have few newspaper champions and defenders. It is shrewdly calculated by persistent newspaper attacks on the United States that tho Americans can be gotten into hiu'i disfavor, and that concessions will be refused them. The journey of Wiliam McElroy Curtis, formerly of the Bureau of America tt Republics to Peru and Bolivia i reported to be in the nature of a secret mission for his Government. There is a profoundly suspicious sentiment developing in Latin-American circles regarding the designs of the United States, whose power is dreaded, and whose Administration is accused of cherishing imperialistic projects on this continent.

Joe Patchen Sold. JOHNSTOWN Sept. H. Y. Hawes of this city has sold the famous racer, Joe Patchen, to Senator Mc- Carthy of Goshen, N.

Y. Hawes paid about $20,000 for Patchen a few weeks ago in Cleveland, O. It is understood the price paid by Senator McCarthy, whose check arrived to-day, was in excess of what Hawes paid. Mr. Hawes says that Senator McCarthy will put Patchen on his stock farm near Goshen.
