Seriously.

the Figaro's parliamentary reporter that
he wrote:
'From all eyes blazed flashes of hatred.
From every mouth issued cries of ven
geance. Even the people In the galleries
were agitated and the turbulents seemed
to take part In this general rehearsal of
olvll war. I do not take the matter
tragically, but I think It la to be taken
very strlously."
The Chamber did not take It quite so
seriously, for it voted confidence in the
government, refused to take the Dreyfus
case from the Jurisdiction of the courts
and unseated Syveton. But tbe deputies
were a good deal worked up for awhile after
Jaures had galvanized the Dreyfus affair
skeleton and let the bones rattle around
the Palais Bourbon for two days. The
thing which caused the most excitement
was an alleged letter written by Oeneral
De Pellleux to General Zurllnden while
the latter waa military governor of Paris.
Jaures and ex-Premier Brlsson accused ex-
War Minister Cavalgnac of having sup
pressed this letter.
Cavalgnac at first replied that be had
regarded It aa of no Importance. Then
ioalng patience after being taunted Cav
aignao turned to tbe socialists, shouting:
"If you are not all cowards like Jaurea
you will listen to me."
This provoked a tremendous tumult.

by the Americen board of missions. Tbe
advices were from Rev. William U Sanson,
who said tbe arrest was made ci the
around that the natives preached against
tha German government. The natives were
seised December 2o. They were still noia

State Department Not Informed.
WABHtNOTON. Anril 11. The State de-
nartment has not yet received the com
munication from the missionary society.
It hss watched with a Jealous eye the in
terests of American missionaries In the
various quartere of tha world, but the of-
flclala do not hssttate to declare tnai so
far aa Germany la concerned they always
have been treated with ths utmost con
sideration. Aa to tha American mlaslonsries In ths
Carolines ths department years ago took
what It retarded as the necessary steps
to Insure their perfect freedom from moles
tation. At that time Spain ana uermany
both claimed tha islanda. For fifty years
tha American missionaries had been work
ing there, so ths United Ststes government
politely Intimated to bom parties to ids
controversy thst no matter who ultimately
tvnaaeaaed the Islands It would expect that
duo consideration would be given these
misslonartea and their property.
Positive assurancea wers promptly re
turned by both that tha missionaries would
be duly protected and Germany, after It
had purchased the Islands outright from
6paln, reiterated thla aasursncs. So the
ofOclala her have not the least thought of
friction on the scors of tbe missionary es
tablishments. Of course thsra have been Incidents that
gave rite to correspondenre In all such
places as the Carolines, where tbe mis
sionaries are working among a crude peo
ple, aa, for Instanca, la paria of China, In
parts of Turkey and la Africa, but It gen
erally happena that these Incidents And
their origin la a misunderstanding by tbe
estiva people snd of tha missionary eatab
llahments of the Immunities which ;hey ac
