—i>■ «im« TEN YEARS IN PRISON. THIS IS THISENTENCE IMPOSED UPON DREYFUS. Captain 't> Confident of Release Despite the Judgment New Degrada- I tion of Condemned Man Is Not Poe- I eible —World to Boycott Paris Fair, j All France is perplexed over the effect of the verdiet in the Dreyfus court martial, which sentences the unfortunate officer to ten years’ imprisonment in a fortress. Even the men most familiar with the nation's law differ in opinion as to whether or not the condemned man

will have to suffer the ten years' detention imposed by the judges. Dreyfus himself holds that tlie five years’ solitary imprisonmeut wi:l offset the new sentence and many prominent lawyers bold the

same view. Attorney liemange of counsel for the defense, Col. Jouuust, president of the court martial, and Clerk Coupois of the military tribunal declare that the imprisonment on Devil's Island will count for nothing and that the new term must be served by the captain. The theory that the sentence was fixed at ten years by the judges, that the punishment would exactly equal that already undergone, seems ‘baseless. It was shown that be, vote of the court martial—-5 to 2 —made such verdict obligatory and the question of the accused man's early release was not con(Udered by the tribunal. —~ Xz A second degradation will not be possible, ,ns Dreyfus' sword was not returned to Mm and he has no epaulets on the undress uniform which he now wears. Formal application for revision will be made as soon as the necessary papers can be prepared. Dreyfus bore the terrible shock with marvelous fortitude, one might almost «ay with unnatural calm. He seemed •tupefied when Attorney Labori communicated to him the verdict, but he afterward rallied. Mme. Dreyfus and Mathieu Dreyfus, his brother, visited the prisoner during the course of the afternoon, his brother eubsequentiy leaving for Puris. The application to the court of revision was taken to him by M. Lubori’s assistant and he signed it. Sunday he spoke but little, although he seemed in better spirits than might have been anticipated. The meeting with his wife was naturally very affecting. but both held up as well as possible. He said to her: “I am not uneasy regarding myself, as I shall soon be free, but I think of you and my poor children. They will be branded as the children of a traitor.” Dreyfus is convinced that the ten years’ Imprisonment to which he is sentenced \ d ii r y Ow will be wiped out by the five years of solitary seclusion he underwent on Devil’s Island, and he expects to be released by Oct. 15. which will be five years from the date of his former condemnation. TO BOYCOTT PARIS EXPOSITION — Reports from All Ports of Civilization Would Indicate Th * Result. Reports from all parts of the w rid in- | dicate a general boycotting of the Paris exposition because of the verdict in the Dreyfus case. Germany will doubtless lead in this effective condemnation of the nation which bears the Dreyfus scandal. Although the various governments have already been allotted space for exhibits and their buildings are under way. it is probable that many of the powers will decide to abandon their plans for the big fair. Whore it will be impossible for the governments to cancel arrangements individual exhibitors will refuse to participate and they predict utter failure for what was to have been the crowning event of the century. The London press is open in denouncing the judgment of the Rennes court. Leading papers cf Russia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary and other nations unite in advocating a boycott of the exposition. In the United States, from which France expected to draw thousands of visitors, a similar movement is said to be on foot. From many New York pulpits Sunday the verdict of the Dreyfus court martial was denounced in unmeasured terms. Everywhere in the city, where the result of the court martial was discussed, the judges who rendered the verdict of guilty were severely criticised. In Chicago this feeling has been noticed everywhere. From gray-bearded men of business to the newsboys there is now a feeling of

LATEST PICTURE OF CAPTAIN DREYFUS. Ik A

Business Situate ? Chicago Correspondence: The strength of the general business situation is shown by the small number of failures. At no time in the history of this country have there been so few bankruptcies as now. The liquidation which came with the panic of 1893 was thorough and complete and opened the way for the laying of foundations of the safest and soundest character for legitimate business operations. The outlook, therefore, is still of a promising character. Notwithstanding the great improvement that has taken place in the last two years all of the best trade authorities agree in the prediction that the culminating point of the advance is by no means yet tn sight and that there :s every reason to believe that present conditions will continue to prevail for several months to cvme. The developments of the last week have all been in the direction of improvement. Reisuts of railroad earnings have shown further gains, the bank clearings are again well ahead of those for the corresponding week last year and from every section comes the news of steadily increasing activity in trade and manufacturing lines. Prices are being well maintained for the reason that the pro- ■ duction. great as it has been in the last few months, is still considerably below the demand. Collections are uniformly reported to be Rood and wholesalers say that the proportion of each transaction is showing a gratifying increase. In the security market-, there has been some uneasiness shown with regard to ■ tlie Transvaal situation and money rates have also shown a tendency to harden. The result of this has been that during the latter part of the week prices for ■ stocks showed a considerable declitm. On all the recessions, howwer, good buying , I has made its appearance in the standard ' i stocks. Trading sentiment nt the tn • is somewhat mixed. but the b. st oj . Is that as soon ns money again ea- - up the-stock market will again deve p ■ • a bull affair. Meantime, it .< expected to continue to have two s.de<. with ti n tuations covering a range of two or thoe points. Business on the Board of Trade suffered to some extent from the state of the weather. The volume of speculative transactions was thereby curtailed, and the la<‘k of activity gave to the markets an appearance of weakness which was more apparent than real. Holders of wheat had to battle with increasing receipts, but were sustained in their efforts by the liberal outflow toward foreign ports and the fact that, notwithstanding almost daily claims of no demand from abroad, the weekly shipments from this country to Europe exceeded by about 4<» per cent the combined efforts of all the other exporting countries of the world. An argument for lower prices cannot well be founded on any such condition of affairs. Corn closed Saturday without any appreciable change in price from that ruling at the close of the previous week. Reports from the country very generally claimed damage more or less from the extremely dry. hot weather, but the speculative appreciation of the amount of injury is displayed in the immobility of the grain's : value, notwithstanding the excellence of I the shipping demand. It is true that freight rates are hardening, ami that would have a natural tendency to depress prices west, but they could not me kept down on that account if there was any doubt of a large crop being practically as sured, although it may not he so overwhelmingly heavy as promised two weeks ago. i The dry term has come to an end, and *«■> >-r s vt- rfl t' nr r ■• <.

No mountain can withstand a Zerubbabel with Jehovah’s spirit in hi shcart—■ । tb.'uigh a mere mole hill had kept Zerubbabel idle for many years before that ; spirit touched him. The bringing forth : ] of the headstone, with the cry, “Grace, j ' grace unto it,” appears to refer to the approaching completion of the temple, and . the spirit that should animate the people 1 When they gather for that final long- 1 awaited task. If the Lord give not his 1 grace, no headstone can make the build- ; ing either safe or beautiful. “Except the I Lord build the house, they labor in vain j j that build it; except the Gird keep the 1 i city, the watchman waketh but in vain." | i (Psalm 127: 1.) j The reference to the seven eyes Is ob- ■ ; score. It is to be compared with 3: 0, where seven eyes are engraved on the j • stone that is set before the high priest, i i representing, no doubt, the all-seeing wie- । dom of Jehovah.
