PARDON OF

Action Was Tabu Upon Ibc Helinott

TAKE EFFECT IN
A FEW DAYS
He Will fio Abroad to 'Avoid Demonstra
tion Sure to Occur Upon Promulga
tion of Pardon.
I'AisiH, Supt. 10. Tho council of
miniatura deeidtd today to pardon
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, in principlo.
Tim pardon will tuku (."fleet in ti few
days.
iJroyfus tins relinquished his upjieal
for n revursul of tlm judgement of tins
court-martini.
"In principlu" ia nil idiom sometimes
used in euini-oHiciul nnnouneumenta of
fortlicotn intr notions. It euuiiib lo havu
but slight hearing on the mutter, except,
perhaps, hut that it umploya the fulfill
ment of yurious fornmlitiea before the
pardon ia actually issued, thereby quali
fying the announcement of tho pardon
with alight lentntivenosH. It ia not
known yet whether tho pardon includes
aniui'flty.
Thuru is much runuuk here on the
etrnnge coincidence of the death of
Scht'iirer Keatner, the first champion of
Dreyfus, ur.d to whom Dreyfus will
virtually owe his freedom, on the very
day the cabinet decided to pardon the
prisoner. .Scheuror Keatnor'a death was
sudden. Hu had been ill during the
last few dayp, but is was not thought his
illness would prove fatal.
Tho announcement thai Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been diB
diluted by predictiona and tbero waa
absolutely no excitement alone the
boulvarda when newsboys ran along at
:i:15 p. in., with the flrat editions con
taining the statement that tho cabinet
had deeided to pardon Dreyfus. Every
one expected it and the decision met
witli no opposition.
TheDioltsDel Homme, socialist organ,
says : "Our tuek remains the eame after
us before the liberation of Dreyfus, to
continue the campaign ngaiuat all those
who are responsible for the lamentable
afluir, and unmask tho forgers, traitors
and false witnesses, even though they
may ho covered with glittering decorations."
It is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the promulgation of hia
pardon inordor to avoid demonstrations.
Hknnkh, Sept. 10. The news thot the
council of ministers had decided to
pardon Dreyfus was received hero with
intfnee excitomont. Drovfua is still a
prUoner.
Ni'.w Youk, Sept. 11). A dispatch to
tho .Innriittl nnil AiUnrliRRr aavs ! The
pardon of Dreyfus is not in tho ordinary
eenso of tho term, regular, for the ieon

forum! condemnation the military chiefs
aro entiafied. If a pardon follows, much
of tho force rauit bo knocked out of the
Dreyfus campaign, and incidentally out
of foreign criticism.
A campaign for the re-trial of a man
enjoying full liberty can never evoke
much sympathy, and the fact of the
man's second condemnation by the
COUrt-tnarttal muni. In n la ran extent
exculpate Mercler, Gonse, Rogetand the
oiuer generals. Thus the latter will not

There ia more Catarrh 111 thia section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few yeara
was eupposed to be incurable. J?or a
great many years doctors pronouueed it
local disease, und prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore reauires constitutional treatment.
