M. Demange sank back in his chair and tears trickled down his cheeks, and M. Labori turned white as a sheet, while all around the court men looked at each other in silence. DREYFUS IS TOLD HIS FATE. Meanwhile a tragedy was being en- acted in the little room off the court room, where Dreyfus listened to the reading of the verdict. He had been told the result by his lawyers, and had wept bitterly, but when in the presence of the officiale of the court- martial! he listened impassively to the sen. tenge.

Both are much upset, though it can hardly be said that they are surprised. BRINGING IN THE VERDICT. At 5 o'clock the ringing of a bell announced entry of the judges with the verdict of the court-martia:. An officer ordered "Carry : : and "Present arms!" The rattle of rifles then followed. Then Col, Jou- aust, the President, marched in, sal- uted, and laid his kepi on the table. The other officers of the court-martia! did likewise, the gendarmes shouted "Sitence !" and the silence of death fell on the audience. THE VERDICT. President Jouaust then began and, without a tremor in his voice and apparently unmoved, read the verdict as follows* To-day, the 9th of September, 1899, i the cou. martial of the 10th Army | Corps, deltberating ehind closed doors tie President yutthe following question : "is Alfred Dreyfus, 14th Regiment of Artillery, proba- tioner on the general staff, guilty of faving in 1894 entered into machina- tions or held relations with a foreign power. or one of ite pnts, to in- duce it to commit hostility or under- take war agi France, or cure it the means therefor by ering the notes y tioned in the document calied the bor- derenu, according to the decision of the Court of Cassation of June 3rd, 1859 ?"

Paris cable: The Libre Parole says, coumenting on the Rennes ver- dct: "The soldiers at Rennes, without fear or reproach, have glven the world a fine spectacle and have saved the honor of the army. The verdict was equal to a second Austerlitz." M. Henr! Rochefort, in the Intran- Sigeant, says that France has at last taken reve on foreigners. The Petit Journal warns the Drey- fusards to accept the verdict quietly, else the nation. despite the scoun- drelly Govérnment, wll find means to make them. + he Croix. the Jesuit organ, says: "The verdict proves thac I France the army will not prosecuve an inno- cent man. The judges decided withouy ae or favor, as their consciences A COWARDEY VERDICT. Berlin cable: The Dreyfus ver- dct causes a feeling almost of stupe- fication in Berlin. It had been hoped that the statement of the Re'chsan- ze-ger, as emanating directly from Emperor Willain, would) have ren- dered impossible the repetition of what is described as "One of the greates judicial and political crimes of any age." The German press unanimously de- seribes the verdict as cowardly and impolitic, not to say criminal. THE FEELING IN GREAT BRITAIN. London cable: It would be diffi- cult to deseribe adequately the indig- nation the verdict of the Dreyfus court martial has eyoked everywhere in England, At the music halls, espe- clay the Palace Theatre, where cine- matograph 'p'ctures of the incidents and lead"ng 3 of the Dreyfus af- were exhibited, the news Was greeted with groans and hisses. 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 iiuman wronghead- edness." The Daily Chronicle says that Mer- cier issues from the case one of the blackest scoundrels in history. The Daily News remarks: "It is no fonger Dreyfus, but France herself that is on trial." The Morning Post declares that 'the mitigation of the sentence will be in- serpreted al! the world over as evi- denee that the judges who condemned Dreyfus really believe him innocent." The Daily Telegraph saye: "* This infamous Judement disgraces France, dishonors her army, insults the Kaiser and offends the best principles of humanity. There seems nothing !eft for Franee but a revolution, and war that will reduce her to the level of Spain." The Standard says: "We are wateh- ing by the sick-bed of a great nation, none knowing what new and deadly form the malady may assume." he Times observes: " We do not hesitate to pronounee it the grossest and most appaliing prostitution of justice the world has witnessed in modern times... All the outrageous éeandale which marked the course of the trial pale into insignificance beside the crowning scandal of the verdict." AMERICAN COMMENTS.

PROCLAIMS HIS INNOCENCE. Col. Jouaust, President of the court, asked Dreyfus if he had anything to add in his bebalf. The prisoner rose and in a voice choked with emotion declared he had only one thing tosay, but of that he was perfectly assured. He said: "I affirm before my country and army that i am_ inno cent. My sole aim has been to save the honor ef my name, the name children. I have suf- a to attain my desire, through your loyalty and justice. Co!. Jouaust--Have you finished, Dreyfus? Dreyfus--Yes, Mr. President. THE SIN JOSE. SCALE the Commissioners Report Damage Overestimated. FURTHER WORK NECESSARY. Toronto report: That the damage to fruit trees in the Province of On- tario by reason of the ravages of the San Jose scale has been somewhat over estimated was one of the salient points brought out by the c@fmission: appointed by the Ontario GdvVernment to investigate the matter. The report was received by the Minister of Ag- riculture yesterday, and recommend- that further operations be carried on to exterminate the pest if possib-e. The commiss! ppointed were Dr. James Mi.ls, Chairman, President of the Agricu:tural College at Guelph; Prof. John Dearness, of London, and W. H.-Bunting, of St. Catharines. The inquiry «was started on June 2th, and ended July 14th, the com- missioners visiting the Counties of Lincoln, Welland, Wentworth, Elgin, Kent and Essex, in Ontario; also the New York side of the Niagara River, and Catawba Island in Ohio. One bun- dred and sixty-eight witnesses were examined a't¢ gether. f he c«tent of the infestation, the greatest is in one corner of Ni- agara Township, near Niagara-on-the- e, and in the Township of Harwick, Kent County, in the neighborhood Gou.d's Postoffice. There is limited in- festation at Kingsville, and smaller ones at St. Catharines, Winona, Bur-- ington and*near Chatham. In 91 other cases, trees planted within the last two years were found infested. These were all destroyed, and this year's inspection failed to discover scale in any but 13 out of the 91 places. The scale was found in five nurseries, but the infested stock was destroyed. While the worst areas of infestation were not Jarge they were in good fruit districts, and the Inspector es- timatted it would be necessary to des- troy 156,200 trees to be reasonably sure of exterminating the scale. The commissioners are in doubt as to the possibility of checking the fur- ther spread of the scale and eventu- ally exterminating it by the destruc- tion of the trees as provided by the San Jose seale act. While the inspec- tor thinks the scale can be exterlun- ated by prompt and vigorous enforce- ment of the act, the commissioners ineline to the .opposite opinion,, and they are satisfied the result can 'be se cured only by a very large expendi- ture of money and something like a 14 exterminate the sca ge i trees and shrubs of unprofitable va- rieties or in all unhealthy condition, even though they may not be very much injured by the scale: single in- neches or limbs on trees which appear to be otherwise free from infection; that all infested trees and shrubs, except the above, and all d trees be treated according to that are otherwise free, or supposed to free, from the scale.

The su of the commission- rs are: That the utmost care be taken to prevent the scale from spreading. That valuable trees be notelestroy- ed when it to e them pecially those who are directly inter- ested by infestation or exposure, be enlisted as far as possible by and with the official workers in an effort to le. That a brief circuit of instruction in regard to the most important facts in the life history of scale insects and of the San Jose scale in par ticular, and the approved methods in treatment be prepared at once and sent to every orchardist in the infested areas.

An Intimate Friend Estimates it at Between $125,000,000 and $140,000,000 New York despatch: While it is generally known that Mr. Vander- bilt was an enormously rich man, yet little is known of his actual for- tune. He was a most reticent man about his private affairs. His for- tune has been variously estimated at all the way from $*0,000,000 to $200,000,000. It was mostly in railroad stocks, bonds, and securi- ties. He was not interested toany great extent in any of the new in- dustrial companies that have beeen formed, and in fact had no holdings of moment in any corporations aside from railroads. He was com- paratively not a" large real estate owner. f One who was close in the confi- dence of Mr. Vanderbilt said it would be folly for anyone to try to make an accurate statement of the value of the estate, but that it might be roughly estimated from $125,000,000 to $140,000,00 ; this was sheer surmise. Mr. Van- derbilt's holdings were not specula- tive in any sense of the worl, und so his death had no perceptible ef- fect on Wall street. When he suf- fered the first stroke of paralysis, his affairs were placed in such shape if he should die the fortune would be intact and no confusion result. $i00 Rewaid $100, The readers of this paper will be pleased to Jearn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in ali its stages, and that is Catarrh.
