NO HOPE OF DREYFOS
BEING GIVEN JUSTICE
The Convicted Artilleryman
Must Die In Exile.
LEADING PARISIAN TALKS
Member of the French University Pre
dicts “an Onslaught of Unparalleled
Violence on the Jews,” Who Are
Blnim-d For the Whole Trouble.
Paris, Feb. 1. — The most ardent sup
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done.
A prominent member of the Univer
sity of Paris who, from the first, has
been militant champion of a revision of
the trial says:
“For 99 out of 100 Frenchmen, the
guilt or innocence of Dreyfus is a mat
ter of sentiment. All the reasoning iu
the world would not induce them to
change their attitude. There are mil
lions of Frenchmen who will insist
upon Dreyfus’ guilt in spite of any proof
to the contrary. A terrible feature of
the situation is that the attitude of this
majority is dictated by motives which
they believe to be deserving of the
highest respect. I admit that some of
the Dreyfusards are much to blame for
this. The best cause may be ruined by
disreputable adherents, and there are
men on the Dreyfus side of whom every
patriotic Frenchman is the natural
enemy. While the majority of us have
merely demanded that justice should be
done, a pestilent minority has made this
demand an excuse for virulent on
slaughts on institutions we hold in
great esteem. ”
In conclusion the member of the uni
versity predicted that the result of the
agitation will be “an onslaught of uu
paralleled violence on the Jews, as the
masses are convinced that they are at
the bottom oi the whole trouble.”
Count Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy
was oiiicially informed yesterday that
his testimony before the court of cassa
tion in the Dreyfus inquiry being con
cluded, proceedings against him qa.
criminal charges -would be resumed in
24 hours. He left at once for an un
known destination by the Northern
railway.
FISTICUFF IN THE CAPITOL.
Mayor of Tuscaloosa and Representa
tive Lacey Go Together.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 1. “Are
you Mr. Jemison, mayor of Tuscaloosa?”
asked Representative Lacey, of the
lower house of the general assembly, in
the rotunda at the capitol, of a heavy
set, well groomed gentleman whom he
approached.
“I am, sir,” replied Tuscaloosa’s
mayor.
Mr. Lacey then placidly remarked
that he was the father of former Cadet
Lacey, who hazed Mayor Jem sou’s son
at the University of Alabama hist Octo
ber, and whom the mayor had called
from his room in the university dormi
tory after midnight one night se
verely horsewhipped.
After a short conversation Mr. Lacey
struck Tuscaloosa’s mayor in the face.
Mr. Jemison defended himself, but
Mr. Lacey got in several other licks be
fore friends separated the contestants,
and Mr. Jemison’s face was caused to
bleed freely. Mr. Lacey escaped injury.
Mr. Jemison is a man of recognized
courage, but it is understood in the lob
bies that he and Mr. Lacey have recon
ciled their differences.

A VOTE TO OCCUR ON
BACON’S RESOLUTION
Senate Committee ITo Longer
to Block Matters.
PLEASED AT THE OUTLOOK
Confident of Defeating All but One of
the Various Measures R ceutly li<
trod need in Connection With tile
Peace Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 1. The senate
committee on foreign relations today
discussed the various declaratory reso
lutions before tho senate in connection
with the peace treaty and decided no
longer to oppose the taking of a vote
upon any of them.
The first vote will oome on the mo
tion to refer the Bacon resolution to
the committee and this will not be op
posed by the members of the commit
tee. The committee is confident that
the result will be favorable to the mo
tion to refer. The committee is also
confident of disposing of all the other
resolutions in accordance with their
ideas.
They count upon having all the reso
lutions except that offered by Mr. Sulli
van voted down. They will not oppose
the Sullivan measure aud it now looks
as if it would be adopted.
The Sullivan resolution is as follows:
“That the ratification of the pending
treaty of peace with Spain shall in no
wise determine the policy to be pursued
by the United States in regard to the
Philippines, nor shall it commit this
governor nt to a colonial policy; nor
is it intended to embarrass the estab
lishment of a stable, independent gov
ernment by the people of these islands
whenever conditions make such a pro
ceeding hopeful of successful and desir
able results.”
A RESOLUTION BY LINDSAY.
Declares Against, llie Admission ol
Distant Territory.
Washington, Feb. I.—ln the sma’o
today Mr. Lindsay (Dom., Ivy.) offered
a joint resolution declaring, against thi
admission into the Union of territory
not adjacent to and geographically a
part of this coiitim-nr.
At Mr. Lindsay’s request the resain
tion was left on the table subject to
call.
In accordance with notice previously
given, Mr. Rawlins of Utah addressed
the senate on the Vest antiexpausion
resolution.
An effort was made to secure consent
to vote tomorrow on the Bacon and
other resolutions, but Mr. Garter of
Montana objected unless the vote could
take place after Mr. Spooner addressed
the senate.
At 2 o'clock the senate went into ex
ecutive session to consider the peace
treaty.
The house today, immediately after
the reading of the journal, went into
committee of the whole, (Mr. Hopkins
of Illinois in the chair) and entered upon
the consideration of the river and har
bor bill.
Mr. Burton, (Rep., O.) chairman of
the river and harbor committee, opened
the debate with a general statement of
the necessity of continuing the river
and harbor work.
This country, he said, was now en
tering upon an era of commercial ex
pansiou. The vast amount of our ex
ports, as well as their excess over im
ports. was the marvel of the commercial
world. The greatest factor in this ex
pansion was the improvement of our
rivers and harbors in order to cheapen
the cost of transportation. We had
expended iu all $320,000,000 in river aud
harbor work. The estimates upon which
this bill was based aggregated
000. The committee recommended
amounts of over $300,000,000.
EAGAN PLEADS FOR MERCY.
Growing Belief flint McKinley Will
31 odify the Senteiic’.
Washington, Feb. 1. Commissary
General Eigan, having learned that the
courtmartial found him guilty of con
duct unbecoming an officer and a gen
tleman, the penalty of which is dis
missal from the service, is seeking to
have influence brought to bear upon the
president to modify the sentence. He
has called upon a number of senators.
There is a growing feeling that the
president wall so modify the sentence as
to permit General Eagan to go upon the
retiring list. This could be done )±y
suspending him for a time just before
the date of his retirement. It has been
stated, however, that the president does
not purpose being even that severe upon
the commissary general.
It is the belief today, apparently well
founded, that some of the officers who
composed the court have joined in a
note to the president a-king the exercise
of clemency, but, as stated last Satur
day, the verdict of the court is unquali
fied, no mercy having teen recom
mended by the court as a court.
A Paris Youth Guillotined.
Paris, Feb. I.— Albert Peuguez, a
youth who murdered a woman aud boy,
was guillotined here today. The fact is
notable, this being the last execution
which is to fake place on the place de La
Roquette, the famous execution place of
Paris. As Peugnez’s head w’as being ad
justed in the guillotine he shouted: “I
will never confess! I;will never con—l”
Here the knife fell and the sentence was
never cofnpleted.
FATAL SNOWBALL BATTLE.
Men Quarrel at Hatclierhubbee aud *.
Double Tragedy It' SiiltS*
Phenix City, Ala., Jan. 31.—Newt
has reached here of a double tragedy
at Hatchechubbee, Ala. Hyram W.
DeLacy killed Arman Riley, tried t*
kill a negro who wanted to interfere,
attempted to kill C. E. Ingram, wli
had saved the negro, aud then, deprived
of his weapon—a double-barreled shot
guu—went home, secured another gua
and blew his own brains out*
DeLacy was about 35 years of age and
unmarried. He was in the habit of
drinking occasionally, and his reputa
tion was not the best.
Riley, the man killed, kept store at
Hatchechubbee. His family is among
the best known in that section of Ala
bama. He bore the reputation of being
a quiet, peaceable man. Riley was
about 30 years old and uuuiarried.
It seems there was a snowball battle
at Hatchechubbee, in w hich DeLacy and
Riley participated. The affair caused
hard feeling in some way. DeLacy and
Riley got into ail argument over some
trivial feature of the matter. DeLacy
said Riley must retract certain remarks
that he bad made. Riley declined to de
so. DeLacy went off, muttering threats.
About 11 o’clock DeLacy re-eutered
the store, armed with a shotgun. This
he deliberately, and without warning,
discharged at Riley, who was killed ij
stantly. A negro present made a movt
to save Riley, and DeLacy, enraged,
tried to kill him. He was prevented by
C. E Ingram, an artesian well man.
who seized his gun. Ingram was i*
turn attacked, but not injured. De-
Lacy then left the store. Going to hi*
home, he got a pistol aud shot himself,
dying at once.
