PARIS , June 4. The cabinet council this
morning decided that the French second-
class cruiser Sfax , now at Fort do France ,
Martinique , fchould proceed Immediately
and bring Dreyfus from Devil's Isleto
France.
The cruiser is expected to arrive at Brest
about Juno 24 , when Dreyfus will be handed
over to the military authorities and lodged
In the military prison at Rennes. His con
viction having been annulled by the united
chambers of the court of cassation his mil
itary rank nnd title are restored to him.
Ho w'lll occupy an officer's cabin on board
the Sfax and will bo allowed on deck from
1 to 4 o'clock every afternoon.
The de > creo of the court was communi

Hadymnrd , her father. She immediately
BcHt the following dispatch to her hus
band :
"Tho court of cassation proclaims revi
sion , with a now trial by court-martial.
Our 'hearts and thoughts are with you. Let
us share your Immense happiness. Tcn-
dorest klbsea from all. "
Ttio Figaro says that throughout the day
congratulatory telegrams have been flowing
In upon Mmo. Dreyfus , il. iMathleu Drey
fus anU Mnltro Mornard , their counsel.
Lieutenant Colonel Plcquart , on being In
formed of the court's decision , said : "There
is nothing bettor to bo hoped for. "
All the revisionist papers acclaim the do-
cIMon n the triumph of truth , justice and
'law and express the hope that all Franco
nnd all right-minded men will bow before
the' decree. They appeal for reconciliation
nnd calmness.
The antl-rovUlonlst papers consider the
duty of all to submit In order to restore
peace to the country A few of them af
fect to "await with confidence- verdict
of the now court-martial , " Implying that
this will bo another condemnation.

LAST WEEK AT UNIVERSITY
Unbared In by the Baccalaureate' Sermon by
Chancellor Maclean ,
DELIVERED AT THE OLIVER THEATER
Scholarly nml Timely DlncnNNlnu of
"Tho niiooh of American Manhood
I'ri'itnrntorj' lo Urn of World's
Kriiterulziitlon. "
LINCOLN , Juno 4. ( Special. ) Contrary
to the usual custom , the baccalaureate ser
mon before the graduates of the University
of Nebraska was delivered by Chancellor
MacLoan , The services were held In the
Oliver theater tonight. The senior class ,
members of the faculty of the university ,
Chancellor MacLean and clergymen of the
city formed In line at the Young Men's
Christian Association building this ovenlng
at 8 o'clock nnd marched to the Oliver thea
ter , where seats had been reserved for them.
The services opened with prayer and In
cluded music by the university chorus.
The sermon was on the subject "The Epoch
of American Manhood and Brotherhood Pre
paratory to the Bvo of the World's Fraterni
zation. The Ethical and Educational Issues
of the Spanish-American War. " In part
Chancellor MacLean said :
In the university , no less than In the coun
try , this has been the year patriotic and pa
thetic. Ono hundred and soventy-five unl-
vorslty students In camp and field and ten
on the honor role of university dead , with
the former commandant , Colonel Stotsen-
berg , at the head , suggests the thanksgiv
ings , vigils and prayers that have been ours.
Paeans of victory have alternated with
dirges for the dead. The requiem , for the
heroic colonel Is still echoing In our ears.
Memorial day services , peace Jubilees , peace
conference and Philippines war dispatches ,
make a strange medley. We are forcibly
taught that peace Is a creator nnd war n
destroyer. Wo have learned that war Is also
n revealer of peace's solid creations , from
which It strips all 111'ufilons. It Is difficult
as yet to give a Just estimate of the Span
ish-American war and Ho momentous issues.
God nud Oflftlii of War.
God renders to nations , ns to men , nc-
coidlng to their works to the Spaniards , to
the Cuban to the American. What was the
cause of the war ? Spain did not want It ,
the powers of Europe did not want It , Amer
ican party leaders did not want It , the demo
crats feared that It would icdound to the
perpetuation of the party in power , the re
publicans knew that the country was not
prepared for war and feared temporary de
feat and disgrace , the burden of expense and
the general responsibility. The president
and educators did not want it , they believed
that diplomacy would accomplish the ends
desired. Ideal sentimentalists didn't want
It ; they rclteratod the views of jurists and
philanthropists as expressed by Charfes
Sumncr In his address on the war system as
"this trade of barbarians , this damnable pro
fession ; war Itself Is hell , recognized , legal
ized , established , organized by the common
wealth of nations for the determination of
International questions. " The man of sci
ence did not want the war , though , accordIng -
Ing to President Eliot , he does not accept
Sumner's dictum that there can be no war
that Is not dishonorable. "The man of cl-
enco tegards war as the worst survival of
savage life. Ho admits occaEslonal war maybe
bo necessary to national1 security , Just as po
lice courts and prisons exist In civilized and
peaceful states. " The capitalist did not want
war , Prof. Herron to the contrary notwith
standing. The professor's bald , unsupported
statement that a conspiracy of capitalists
precipitated the war Is contrary to public
and private testimony of congressmen and
of the contemporary omniscient press. The
slender thread upon which the prophetic
professor's Imagination may hang his con
spiracy the bonds of the Cuban Junta nnd
republic was quickly detected and cut by
President McKlnley. Who , then , wanted the
war ? The newspapers it is said. Some ct
them aided atrociously In precipitating the
war , but did they originally wont It ? Tra-
dlttonaly and really they are not the lead-
cm , but the followers of the people. After
all , in this case the faithfully reflect the
will of the people as over against the presi
dent , diplomat , politician and HchoFastlc ed
ucator. The American people had taken In
earnest the gospel of humanity their preach
ers had given them , the logic of foreign mis
sions , the call of their philosophers to prac
tical altruism , the plea of their philanthro
pists for the relief of the Cubans , and tno
declamation of their politicians for the
spread of Tlberty and the rescue of the fp-
prusacd. The people willed It. Out still
deeper , it was the logic of events , the ova-
lutlonnrj movement , In which this contest
Is n mere episode in the hlHtory of humanity.
Uettcr still , It was God , through affliction ,
working out tbo peaceable fruits of right
eousness , ( > vorcomlng evil with good , causing
ull things to work together for good ,
Clruiinmtniiucii of the AVnr.
In the circumstances of the war God again
rendered to each nation according to Its
works. The decision was not according to
force or numbers , The Spanish were su
perior In the size of the army In Cuba and
lu iff el and guns In Manila. The award
was not according to mure civilization apart
from Christianity. In the historic point of
a mere civilization the Spaniard was su
perior to the American in art , lu accom
plishments , social graces , sense of honor and
diplomacy , and be was equal In bravery
and all martial virtues , The weight of
European prestige and of an illustrious an
tiquity wore In favor of Spain. Relatively to
her population she was equal in commercial
activity and In Industrial stability. The
victory was not to mere machines. The de
cision was not to rest in man , but In the
men as Individuals and In the national1 pur
poses. In their education and character. In
their power to take the Initiative , to win a
battle without generals and officers , In their
freedom from superstitious fear , In the nerve-
given by high national purpose , the Ameri
can soldiers excelled , The intellAtual and
moral basis brought Into operation God's
law of Justice. The American soldier , by
persistence In good work , seeking char
acter , and reputation , and the Incorruptible ,
fur himself aud the Cuban , was rewarded
according to bU works. Great as ti our
pride In our men , wo dare not gay that the
victory wni due wholly to them
I The Incidents of the war , revealing that
, the residue of power Is with Oed , constrain
us In our par-an of victory to raise the nn-
) clcnt rsaFm , "Not tinto us. O Lord , not
| unto us , but unto Thy name give glory ,
i for Thy mercy and for Thy truth's sake. " It
| was this spirit , not of exultation over a fee
or of boasting of one's achievements , but of
Joy at the triumph of Justice and the prog
ress of freedom that led Captain Philip to
say to the crew of the Texas ns they stood
with uncovered heads In n moment of vic
tory , "I want to make public ncknowlodg
ment here that I believe In God , the rather
i Almighty I want all you officers and men
I to lift your hats and from your hearts offer
| silent thanks to the Almighty for the victory
He has given us. " At the end our spirit nnd
song were not "Remember the Maine , " but
thnt "Vengeance Is Mine , I will repay , ealth
the Lord. "
'I'm I n I n K Tells.
Perhaps the highest Teston of the war to
the observant American Is , that training
tells. While wo have seen that not the ma
chines , that not man ns man , determine the
victory , we have been taught that It vvns
the training of the gunners that made nn
Important difference between tbo Spaniard
nnd the American Knowledge was not
enough , equipment wns not enough. There
wore demanded skillful habit nnd Individual
Initiative In the Intelligent use of equipment
In short , professional training perfected by
patient practice , of officers , gunners , engi
neers , sailors nnd soldiers was the great hu
man factor , next to character , In determin
ing the war. Nebiaskans have at length
recognized , and I trust will not forget , this
truth In connection with the Klrst Nebraska
nnd Its fighting colonel.
In the stress of the oncoming struggle ed
ucation Is not a luxury , not on ornament ,
not a means for the ambitious self-scekor
to get on In the world with. It Is n neces
sity for the formation of the Individual
character , a necessity for the preservation
of the republic and for the uplifting of the
world In view of this truth , immediate re
forms nro necessary. Appointments In the
army and navy , whether volunteer or regu
lar , nnd promotions In the same must not
bo duo to political Influence or favoritism of
any kind , or even to mere longevity of serv
ice , but must bo made upon the basis of
preparation and performance. Not to have
experts In these places Is to bo responsible
for defeat and death. What Is true inwar
Is also true In peace. Civil service reform
must bo extended and not curtailed. The
business or merit system must prevail. With
the epoch of American manhood and of the
row education for It BO furly revealed , wo
may with confidence accept the unforeseen
obligations which the war has thrown upon
us and meet them by making the now era
ono of fraternl/atlon.
Congress has awarded 1,635 medals to the
naval heroes of Manila. The face of Dewey
Is upon the obverse. Upon the reverse is a
young soldier , stripped to Ills waist , sitting
on a cannon with n flag across his knees nnd
one foot resting upon n swinging rope.
Strength beauty nnd the pure Intention of
youth radiates from the face nnd pose of
the figure that bespeak alertness nnd fear
less uprightness. The moment seized Is not
that of victory , but of readiness for Its
achievement. In the critical moments of this
commencement season you are the young
America of the medal. You are within the
circle of the era of world fraternlratlon ,
upon the obverse of which Is the epoch of
Dewey , Do equal to the opportunity. Be
equally ready to wait for It or to make It.
It Is jours aloue to be ready. As peculiarly
the sons nnd daughters of the state , the
graduates of a state university have , com
mitted to them , the flag , to uplift It In the
cause of a common country and n common
Christianity.

drvxHCH the Student * ) .
BELLEVUE , Neb. , May 4. ( Special. )
The baccalaureate sermon to the students
of Bcllevue college was delivered at the
Presbyterian church this evening by Rev.
Stephen Phelps , D. D. , of Omaha , Instead
of by President D. R. Kerr , as previously
announced. The church was crowded with
students and friends of the college to hear
this well known divine. Dr. Phelps had
chosen as his text Revelations III , 8. "Bo-
hold I set before thec an open door and
no man can shut It. "
The speaker began with congratulations
to the graduates. He then gave the cir
cumstances under which the text was
spoken and the warrant for using the words
as applicable now , In the accompanying
words , "Ho that hath an car , let him hear
what the Spirit salth unto tbo churches. "
Ho then called attention
To the earnestness and emphasis of the
words.
To their individual and personal charac
ter , "I sot before thee. " God has nn open
door for each of you.
The contrast of Himself with man : "I
open , no man can shut ; " "If God bo for
you , who can be against you ? "
The sovereignty ex-pressed. The key Is
a symbol of authority. Very suggestive is
the expression , "I have the key of David ,
and the keys of death and the grave " Ho
opened to David his life task. Neither
King Saul nor any other could prevent. He
opens death to all who dlo. None can pro-
vent. Ho opened the grave to Himself nnd
escaped from It. And all that are In their
graves shall , In due tlmo , hear His volco
and come forth. Ho who Is thus sovereign
says to each of you , "Bfhold I set before
jou an open door , and no man can shut It. "
What doors ?
First The door of knowledge. In your
courses of study , though excellent and
thorough , you have only been looking Into
cpcn doors. You have scarcely more than
crossed the threshold of any science. Vast
realms of truth lie beyond. Press on ,
farther and farther. Into them. You will
find that all truth Is from God , and that
there Is no conflict between His works and
His word.
Second The door of opportunity. He has
a place for you. If you are ready for It ,
It Is ready and waiting for you. There are
five ways , In some or all of which you will
find your open door or your life task. By
the suggestions of the Holy Spirit to you ,
By the USD of your own reasons. By the
counsel of others Samuel was sent to
David , Elijah to Elislm , Annanlas to Paul
and Paul to Timothy. By His word it is
"a light to your path and a lamp to your
feet. " By His providence.
Now , thus guided and aided , bo watchful
for opportunities Queen Isabella entered a
widely opened door when she pledged her
Jewels to support Columbus. Martin Luther
entered a divinely opened door when he
nailed his theses to the cathedral gate. Man
mightily , but vainly , tried to close it , for
Ho had opened it who cpeneth and no man
shutteth Cyrus entered Babylon through a
door , which God bad promised for more than
a hundred years to open to him , yet Cyrus
'himself ' had much to da in opening it. He
turned the Euphrates from Its course and
marched his men under 'the ' walls through
its empty channel , Ho co-operated with
God. So must you.
You are coming to your llfework In an age ,
tbo busiest that ever was , but among the
( crowding , tolling millions there Is a pface
for you. Find it ; enter It , (111 ( It , leave It
only when God shall call > ou from it to
the place prepared for you in the life be
yond.

ture passed over Hock Ilnplils last night
about 7 o'clock In a northeasterly direction.
The funnel-shaped cloud was viewed by a
great many persons along the path of the
storm.
About six miles northcaat of town It
dipped down to earth , gathering dirt , leaves ,
straw nnd fences and threw them high Into
the air. A short distance farther on It
caught the barn on the L It. Smith farm
and moved It entirely off the foundation.
The large hen house was blown over the
barn nnd dashed to pieces across the road
to the north.
The atorm took n zigzag course to the
westward for hnlf a mile , then turned east-
vvnitl and picking up the Henry Hcmple
house , occupied by Adolph Jueigcmcn anil
family , seven In all , turned It bottom up
ward nnd entirely demolished It. The family
was nt supper when the storm struck and
had no notice of the monster until they
were fljlng In the air.
Heavy rain accompanied the storm nnd
helped extinguish the flro that started from
the stove. The family miraculously escaped
with only n few painful bruises , the oldest
girl having her dross burned nearly off
The storm scooped up earth In several
places ns It passed on north Into Minne
