THE DREYFUS AFFAIR.
ZOLA TO APPEAL.
Paris, February 25. In the Chamber of Deputies M. Meline said it was necessury that the Dreyfus agitation must cease in the interest alike of the army and the public peace. A vote of confidence in the Ministry was carried by 116 to 41. A socialist member, speaking on the motion of confidence, condemned the terrorism of the sabre, and said it was Boulangism without Boulanger. M. Meline admitted that the Generals had gone too far. He said external sectarianism must cease, or an nge of intolerance would return. M. Zola and M. Perreux intend to appeal against the sentence. The German and Austrian news* papers, commenting on the Zola trial, condemn the verdict, and predict that the fanaticsm aroused in connection therewith will react upon the French Republic. The Russian press regards the result of the trial as a blow to civilisation. Professor Grimaux, who, during the recent trial, swore General Billot asked the Cabinet to dismiss him because he signed a memorial expressing his belief in the illegality of Dreyfus' sentence, has been dismissed from the professorship at the Ecole Polytechnique. Other witnesses who gave evidence in favour of M. Zola have also been punished.
