pared with 84.0 last month, 79.8 on
September 1, 1S9S; 78.3 at the corre
sponding date in 1897. and 78.4, the
mean of the September averages for
me last ten years. Tne condition on
tbe first of the present month was,
with the exception of the year 1896.
the lowest September condition in 25
years-
There was a general impairment of
condition during August, amount

in south Carolina and Louisiana,
sixteen in Florida, twenty in Okla

SUB-TREASURY PLAN.
Scheme Devised for Marketing Cotton and
Other Staple Products.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
New York, Sept. 11. More than
mild interest is being manifested in
this city by cotton brokers and com
mission merchants in the revival of
what has been called the "sub-treasury
plan" for marketing cotton and
similar staple products. The plan
contemplates the establishment of
bonded warehouses to store cotton,
etc, at low rates of storage and in
surance, and to use the receipts for
such goods as collateral in any part
of the United States as security for a
loan equal to eighty per cent, of the
market value of the merchandise. The
scheme is said to have been inaugu
rated in Georgia, and the promoters
hope to extend it to other Southern
States.

PROTEST AGAINST
DREYFUS' VERDICT
General Movement Against
Participation in the Paris
Exposition.
CONGRESS MAY TAKE ACTION.
Moremeat Among tbe Jews la California.
Mass Meeting to be Held in Chicago.
Agitation in Berlin Boston's
Sympathy to Mme. Dreyfus.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington. September 11. It is
believed that when Congress assembles
there will be considerable agitation of
a Dronosition for the government to
abandon its participation in the Paris
Exnosition. It is known that expres
sions hostile to the exposition, quoted
by Senator Stewart, are widely sym-
Dathized in. and it is thought if the
conviction of Dreyfus is permitted to
stand there will be little friendly feel
ing for France among member .of
either the House or Senate.
Such a move, howeyer, would be a
grave one. It is pointed out tnai to
withdraw from participation in ine
ATtvisition would be regarded as an
official insult to France. No further
legislation on the part of Congress is
nooripd to carry out plans of this
fm th exnosition. About
$1,200,000 has been appropriated for
the expenses oi tne commission ana
the government exhibit, the commis
c!rn h hMn rrointed. and the space
desired for exhibits from this country
has been secured.
congress Only Can Interfere.
There are now but two ways in
which Congress could interfere; one
would be t revoke such part of the
appropriation as has not already been
expended in tne expenses or tue com
mission, and the otner wouiu De to
nass a resolution declaring that on ac
count of the unsettled condition ot
France the valuable government ex
hibits should not be sent to Paris. To
do either of these things would be suf
ficient, it is believed, since the matter
has gone so far, to break oi all
friendly relations between the two
countries. Congress ana the State
Department may look at the matter
from different points of view. The
President and the State Department,
having the responsibility for maintain
ing our relations witn foreign govern
ments, cannot be expected to find in
this affair a reason for involving this
country in an international complica
tion, and it is likely that tne execu
tive branch of the government will
use what influence it can to prevent
hasty action.
Lnless Congress expressly forbids
it, this government will proceed with
the preparations for the exhibition
and will send to Paris such government
exhibits as are decided upon ; but this
will be done with a realization of the
probability that much of the space
secured with such difficulty for private
American exhibits will be left vacant.
Little doubt is felt that the latitude al
lowed a private citizen will be exten
sively availed of to withdraw from
participation in thefcxposition.
Another Difficulty.
Another difficulty in the way of an
effort to prevent participation in the
exposition, however, will be found in
the fact that before Congress has as
sembled, much of the government ex
hibit will probably be packed and on
its way to Paris, if not actually there.
The exposition opens in April and the
work of transporting and preparing
the exhibit will have to beein some
months before that time. Up to this
time, it is said the preparation of the
government exhibit ias not begun,
but the work will proceed as soon as
the government officials are read.
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
said he had cause to marvel at the
methods of French army justice, after
observing haw the trial of Dreyfus
was being conducted. No such trial
or verdict was possible in the United
States. He did not think it-would in
any way affect diplomatic relations
between this country and France, nor
did he think it would interfere with
United States exhibitors at the comine
exposition.
The Dreyfus verdict is attracting
much attention throughout official
quarters, but naturally those in re
sponsible position, whose opinion
would be valuable, are reluctant to ex
press adverse comment because of the
national aspect of the case. The feelinc
is general, however, in favor of Drey
fus, and a strong sentiment has devel
oped against the injustice, which, ac
cording to the prevailing belief, he has
Deen subjected to. Some of the offi
cials express fear that this sentiment
ill have a serious effect on th
Franco-American treaty when it comes
before the Senate, as that instrument
has not proven very popular, and the
present feeling may turn the tide
against it.

ATLANTIC COAST LINE.
Authoritative Explanation of tbe Terms
of Agreement With the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, September 11. The fol
lowing explanation was made to-night
by authority of August Belmont &
Co., of the actual terms of agreement
between the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Louisville & Nashville.
"It is true that the Louisville &
Nashville has disposed of a half-interest
in the lease of tbe Georgia railroad
to the Atlantic Coast Line. The papers
have not been delivered yet, but the ne
gotiations have been completed. By the
terms of this transaction the Atlantic
Coast Line becomes a co lessee of the
property on equal terms with the
Louisville & Nashville, which has for
the past year been sole lessee. Origi
nally the Central of Georgia was a
co lessee with the Louisville & Nash
ville, but forfeited its interest by fail
ing to pay its part of the expenses in
curred, the courts declaring that the
Louisville & Nashville then became
sole lessee. We then had a right to
dispose of this half interest in the
Georgia Kailroad lease, and we have
done so to the Atlantic Coast Line.
"It is not true that the Coast Line
was acting for the Southern Railway
in this transaction. The Atlantic
Coast Line is an independent railway
system, of which Harry Walters, of
Wilmington, N. C, is president. The
Southern railway does not own a dol
lar of its stock, so far as is known.
"The Southern railway is an inde
pendent railroad system, of which
Samuel Spencer, of this city, is presi
dent. The Louisville and Nashville
is another independent company
which we are managing for the hold
ers of its securities. These three in
dependent corporations are in no way
drawn together by the terms of the
lease of the Georgia railroad. All re
ports to the effect that these railroads
have in any way acquired control, one
or the other, or have pooled traffic
interests, are without the slightest
foundattion merest nonsense."

LIKELIHOOD OF WAR

London. September 11. The
ac
tivity in the war and admiralty offices
continues to-day though there is
nothing new regarding the Transvaal
situation. It is said that orders have
been sent to America for light iron
girders and bridging sections for pro
bable use in South Africa.
Transports are moving to the docks,
preparatory to embarking troops.
Pretoria. September 11. Excite
ment prevails here pending the de
cision of the cabinet. Secretary of
State Reitz has left this city for
Johannesburg and Cape Town. The
likelihood of war is much discussed.
The coming of British troops is not
regarded as meaning certain war, but
merely as making up for the paucity
of troops in South Africa so much
commented upon in the last month.
The Burghers of this place are of

Cape Town, September 11. Four

During the past week the relief com
mittee of Johannesburg assisted 2,000

THE SITUATION IN PARIS.
Both Parties Taking Breath and the City
Unexpectedly Quiet But Not Likely
to Continue So.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Paris, September 11. Except for
slight street disturbances to-night
Paris has remained unexpectedly quiet,
but this condition of affairs is not
likely to continue. The long heavy
rain yesterday, combined with the
facts that tbe leaders of the opposing
parties were all at Rennes, prevented
any organized demonstration. Then,
too, the general public were delighted
with the verdict as confirming: the
chose jugee.
Wow, however, they are beginning
to see the want of logic in conceding-
"extenuating circumstances" to a
convicted traitor, a concession which
excites doubt as to the strength of the
case against Dreyfus.
Moreover public opinion is being-
sobered by reading the comments of
the world at large and by the prospect,
howeyer remote, that the exposition
will be boycotted, which would mean
a loss of millions to the country.
there is little doubt that trial of the
Derouledists next Monday, at which
it is asserted sensational evidence will
be developed, and the re-ooeniner of the
Chamber of Deputies, will be signals
for French troubles. At present both
parties are taking breath, but the latent
animosity is undiminished.

The actions of "many people in regard to
the use of Glasses would lead the informed to
believe that their eyes are located in the back
of their heads, because they never look into tha
future. In eye use and abuse they go year
after year with never a look ahead or a thought
for the ills neglect will bring. They cling to
the old, foolish, erroneous idea that it is best to
pnt off the use of Glasses until forced to put
them on. They wait until their vision Is so
deteriorated that even proper Glasses cannot
entirely restore it to former acuteness, when,
If taken in time. Glasses would give the same
easy, restful vision enjoyed in younger days.
