PARIS , Jan. 21. ( Now York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) The decision of
the court , of cassation will be made known
in a couple of weeks and la likely to produce
a crisis ending In revolution. No event In
tlio whole Dreyfus scandal haa created a
deeper Impression than the resignation of
Qucsnay Dcaurcpalre. With a view to as
certaining ilio views of the most prominent
nd active men on each side on Eeaure-
Dalro's conduct and the general outlook , your
correspondent obtained atgncd statements
from Francis Prcssenso and Luclen Mllle-
Voyc. Prcssense Is one of the ablest and
most respected French publlclatH and editor
of Temps. Ho says :
Dcnurepalro will probably derive from
Ertio do Paris better pay than ho received
from the court of cassation. Another reason
given by friends to cxcuso him IB that ho Is
Buffering from Incipient Intellectual do-
Tangemcnt. Thcro Is a plot afoot , not a
military plot , but almply to discredit the
rourl of cassation. They wish to prevent a
Judgment of acquittal , which -would be a
condemnation of the war olflcc. That the
result anticipated bos not followed Ilcauro-
palry's action Is proved by last Thursday's
vote In the Chamber and today's In reject-
Ins Faure'K demand for permission to In
terpellate on the trial of Plcquart. It la a
great crisis. Tbe forces of reaction are
seeking under the mask of nationalism to
defeat Justice The Judgment decreeing
Dreyfus' Innocence will be accepted by pub
lic opinion when ' .hat opinion Is Informed of
oil * he reasons on which It Is based. I do
not know what will bo the Judgment of the
r : ourt of cassation , but from documents I
' 'mil my frleirjs have I bcllevo there will been
on .acquittal. If the- court gives reasons for
, Its decision Franco will accept them. It Is
impojilblo to bcllevo otherwise. If Dreyfus
returns to Paris I don'.t believe there will bo
any serious disturbance. There may be
Homo slight demonstrations In the streets ,
Unit notdlng more. "
Ludihi Mlllovoye , one of the most ener
getic of the extreme' anil-Dreyfus agitators ,
writes :
"Bcaurepalre , la thorough patriot , resigned
bec.iuso Indignant nt seeing certain magis
trates of the court of cassation making
themselves Instruments of the International
and nntl-natlonnl campaign. His declara
tions have already produced a result by
I'.oldliiK In suspense the decision of the crim
inal chamber. His resignation has pro
foundly moved public opinion. The par
tiality of .tho . court Is evident and the Judg
ment rendered ouch that the conditions will
cot bo ratified by the public conscience. It
the criminal chamber remits'the case to a
new court-martial Franco will wait that
eolation , but If It should care to annul wltn-
out remitting the agitation will assume
Rrnva proportions among the people and In
the army. France la n military democracy ,
passionately attached to the principles ot
liberty , but firmly resolved to defend hot
Independence and lier honor. Every citi
zen Is today a soldier. An Immense ma
jority of them preserve their respect for the
flag. If a foreigner Imagines ho will ue
nblo to make profit out of this agltatlor
lie deceives himself. The French soul if
awake. "

A divorce suit brought by her second hus

COMEDY FOLLOWS THE BALL
Uncut nt 1)iielie of Devonshire' *
Function Apprnm n * Ilefendnnt
In Suit for Foolivenr.
( Copyright , 1899 , Jjy pTcss Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Jan. 21. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) There Is *
great deal ot talk about the Duchess of De
vonshire's great ball at ChaUworth's last
week. The duchess of Marlborough , who
had the first dance with Lord Ilosebcry , waa
much admired. She wore white tulle elab
orately palllettcd In palo pink and blue
flower , with n cincture nnd bow of pink vel-
vott n crown of diamonds , a superb po-r.
colla'r with diamond clasps nnd a chain ot
the same costly gems.
H haa been remarked that , though he Is
in England , the duke of Manchester , ttio
duchess of Devonshire's grandson , was not
among the guests. The reason given Is that
nfter hla return to England the young duke
became engaged to a pretty comic opera
singer. Only last week his grandmother
stopped In Just In the nick of time to pre
vent his marriage with her. There wa
great consternation at the posslbllty. The
remarkable thing Is how easily the youthful
duke takes these repeated obstacles to tne
courao of his true love. He has decided tal
ent for acting himself and will almost cer
tainly end by going on the stage. Ho Is verj-
boyish and popular and If he can be steered
safely through the shoals and quicksands
for a couple of years ho will probably settle
down.
His mother , the duchess of Manchester , Is
at St. Morritz with her delicate daughter ,
Lady Allco Montague , whoso health Is mcnC-
Ing slowly , though never likely to bo ro
bust.
Another incident associated with the De
vonshire ball Is the old circumstance that
Sir Ocorgo Sltwell , the baronet on whom
fell the honor of opening the ball with tne
duchess of Devonshire , appeared two days
later In the Bloomsbury county court at the
suit of a bootmaker for the payment or n.
bill of $100 for his wife's footwear. Lafly
Ida SlUell , n daughter of the carl of Lons-
borougli , was originally proceeded against ,
but the plaintiff found she had assigned her-
Income to Sir George In consideration of his
paying her debts , amounting to $13,500. The
judge said this arrangement looked like nti
attempt to cvado payment on the part ot
this , titled pair. The suit Is not finished.
Repudiation of a wife's debts Is becoming
quite fashionable. It appears only recently
that Hurfa Williams set up a similar plea
against a claim of $2,000 for his wife's mil
linery hills. Mrs. Hurfa Williams , nn ac
knowledged leader In the smart society , felt
this publicly so keenly that she left London.

gage was searched to ascertain his Identity
nnd bcsldo a passport was found a letter of

deposited more than 300,000 florins In San
Francisco banks. The American conaul gen
eral at Vienna failed to trace the heirs , al
though the American papers gave publicity
to the affair. Freyo left no will , so the
property would fall '
to the state's ex

claim to be FroyeVbetrs. Uoshardt * claims
to bo F.reye's brother , and Meyer his brother-
in-law. Freyc's real name , they say , was
Jacob Bosbardt. He emigrated In 1873 and
settled In Son Francisco
, assuming the name
of Frcyo. He studied medicine and later
engaged In successful mining speculations
In Oregon. Since 1873 ho only once visited
Europe , when he saw his relatives. In let
ters to them ho never signed himself Freye ,
but always Jacob or Ucehardt , but sent
them envelopes for a reply addressed Dr.

"What a marvelous old lady Is the Eng

and conversed with her forwfully an hour
and a half. She Is a charming conversa
tionalist , full of tact , sympathetic and re
markably well informed on mtttcra interestIng -
Ing to Americans. "
President Iglestas said the queen showed
great Interest In Costa Ulco and waa anxious
to learn his Impressions of England. Ho
continued :
"I told her I admired the energy and
bustling activity of the English people. 1
talked especially of the -wonderful sight in
the city of London every morning. 'But ,
your majesty , ' 1 added , 'I confess I don't
like the hardness which an Englishman
shows in making bargains. '
"Queen Victoria smiled genially at that
and I did not feel at all 111 at ease for hav
ing said it. *
"I went on to liken the English severity In
commercial matters to American methods.
Her majesty showed great Interest In what
I told her of the Unltod Statee. , She asked
mo whether I knew the United SUtPs well.
I described my Journey coming over. She
said : 'They nre a wonderful people , ' and
she made the remark in a lone as though
she regretted she had never visited the
United States. "
"Did she say so ? "
"Ah , " responded President Igleslas , check
ing himself , "I must commit no such breach
of etiquette. I do not think I ought to re
peat her words. This I will say. Her ad
miration for the United States la the result
of thorough knowledge of the American people

derstand now why the English and Ameri

"What was your flret Impression of the

"Most agreeable disappointment. A com

the two great characteristics of the English

Princes , barons , exclusive officers of the
Prussian guard and men with names of
European reputation arc Involved. In addi
tion to Its military membership there were
scions of old country families In the civil
service , officials , public officers , Berlin and
Potsdam racing men , gentlemen , riders and
young bankers. Half a dozen men formed a
club they called the "Jolly Boys" or "Inno
cents. " One committceman was an elderly
gentlemen. Others were officers In ttie
guards and two were titled. The elderly
man was a stranger to Berlin officers and
had on enormous circle of acquaintances in
smart and aristocratic circles.
The committee hired a magnificent apart
ment , ono large nnd two small rooms en
suite at the principal hotel at a rental of
50 a month. Card tables were scattered
around and refreshments provided on a
lavish scale. Invitations to Join the club
were sent out on notepaper containing a
gorgeous crest of a count and the commit
tee. They were addressed to all uouveaux ,
th richest young swells of fortune and
wealthy men known to pine for social
preferment.
About 600 gulls of this variety were enared
and were greedily and remorselessly plucked
by the older officers and aristocrats who
had gained proficiency In every gambling
bell In Europe. On Saturday nights 400
were often present and engaged In all kinds
of play. Many officers came In uniform , a
circumstance which Intensely angered the
kaiser when the secret was discovered , for ,
strange to say , the police never located the
"Innocents" although they paid periodic
visits to the hotel. The magnificent corrl-
, dor leading to. the rooms was paneled with
mirrors. One of these was a door 'to the
gaming rooms. There was no handle and
no keyhole.
The play was always high. Incredible
sums were lest. Some sittings lasted over
thirty hours. It began to be whispered about
that first ono young officer and then an
other lost his fortune. Cards nnd notes and
I O U's written at the club began to be a
feature of certain money-lending transac
tions.
At last suspicions attached to the elderly
gentleman who originated the committee.
His Oerman was excellent , although a slight
foreign accent was noticeable. His man
ners were Irreproachable. It was even
whispered that not only In money matters
was his readiness to oblige so observable ,
Any young blood wishing to bo put on the
track of highly' spiced adventure could ob
tain full particulars from him with nothing
to pay and no questions asked. He has been
seen at Ostend , Monte Carlo and elsewhere
on the Riviera. At last when It became
certain that ho wcs Identical with a well
known sharper of European reputation he
decamped , together with two or three of hli
aristocratic colleagues. It Is believed they
ere now In Nice.
Dreadful consternation was caused -when
the kaiser , hearing of the scandalous conduct -
duct of his officers and officials , gave orders
that the whole affair bo Investigated. Offi
cers of several of the regiments of guard :
have been examined. In all cases where an
officer confessed to participation he has beer
severely reprimanded and In eome cashiered ,
The civil authorities are also stirring. Oravt
revelations are threatened , but It Is doubtful
whether this will be permitted In view ol
the high character of numerous aristocratic
families Involved.

LINCOLN. Jan. 21. ( Special Telegram. )
The vote on senator today shows little
change from that ot yesterday. Instead ot
making the promised gains Hayward bliowcd
only thlrty-nlno votes as compart with
forty yesterday.
Yet this Is not a loss , Inasmuch as Rouse ,
ono of the Hayward men , failed to record
himself on account ot absence. Israel , who
voted for Hayward yesterday , left him for
Adams , giving the latter two votes , while
Halderman , who hod been voting for Lam-
bertson , went over to the Otoe county candi
date.
date.Tho
The net result Is , therefore , a gain of one
for Adams and a loss of one for Lambertsou.
The other candidates showed simply the
same votes which they have recorded practi
cally since the senatorial game began.
The total vote today was only 124 and
sixty-three would have been enough to elect
a senator had any candidate mustered that
number. The greater number ot the ab
sentees came from the populists' column ,
leaving only flfty-ono for Senator Allen out
ot the Qfty-nlno which In reality belong to
him. The fuslontsts who were absent were
Senators Halo and Howard and Repre
sentatives Crockett , McQlnlcy , Wymun ,
Loomls , Watson and Taylor.
Representative Tanner cast his vote for
A. L. Blxby , probably as a compliment to
that Journalistic associate , 'but later changed
back to Allen like a good democrat.

The fact that Hayward failed to make the
usual gain today has naturally set the
tongues to wagging and created additional
bustling around senatorial headquarters.
Were It not for the fact that many of the
senators and representatives left for their
homes Immediately after the adjournment
over Sunday , there would probably be the
liveliest hustling for votes right now of any
tlmo during the campaign.
The forces of D. E. Thompson particularly
are exhibiting signs ot satisfaction over the
present state of affairs and Insisting that the
tide Is turning In favor of their choice.
They say that everything has moved along
precisely ax their managers had mapped It
out and that they will soon be In a position
to reap tbo advantage ot their forces which
have heretofore been kept under cover.
There Is no question but that Thompson Is
still the factor most feared by the other
candidates , and that his show of strength
ened conlldcnco la creating new alarm
among them. The absence of so many mem
bers from tbe city precluded all caucus talk
because a caucus cannot be held until they
return , even were all agreed upon this plan ,
As a matter of fact , however , there seenu
to bo no more assurance of an early caucus
than there was last week.
A number of men who have been supportIng -
Ing different candidates announced Imme
diately upon their arrival that they would
not enter any caucus until they f lt sure
that Thompson U out of the race.
