Congressman J, M. Levy announces that as soon as con grew meets he will introduce resolutions is tbe house withdrawing the support of this government from the Paris Expo-s- i tisn. .senator Stewart of Nevada has advocated the same cause, while many other publie men are in favor of taking some action which will reflect the disapproval of the verdict in a national way. The withdrawal of the appropriation wou ld probably m .considered as act of unfriendliness by the French government, and would result In a suspension of diplomatic relations. It is not believed that any such extreme measures will be carried out, the moral effect of agitation "being whst la mostly sought. However, there is little doubt that the number of private exhibits will be greatly diminished by Dreyfus' conviction. Drqhit CunvO-tlo- Msy AGU5NALDO TAXING CHINAMEN.
