GETS NEW THIRL
Ifhe Unfortunate Ex-Rrtiller
I ist Has New Chance
5 FOR HIS VINDICATION
i ( And The French Mob Shouts
Vive la Revisiene.
4 Paris, Sept. 2G._ At a meet
ting of the cabinet this morning,
will the ministers being present,
ife, decision was taken in favor of
Sn revision of the trial of former
I'Capt. Dreyfus, and the docu
ments in the case will be sent to
i the court cassation.
V The court ordered the minister
pf justice, M. Sarrien, to lay be
1 ore the court ot cassation the
Petition of Mme. Dreyfus, wife
jf the prisoner of Devil’s Island,
, for a revision of her husband’s
1 '-base. The court therefore will
; the legal question, as to
ijvhether the first trial of Capt.
•jSreyfus wrs vitiated by the forg
ery committed by the late Lieut.
i a Joi. Henry, who was a witness
■ lefore the courtmartial and who
■ionfessed to having forged a
■locument in the case.
I Tne minister of justice has
f>.nnounced that he has given
•i nstruetions that proceedings are
«o be taken immediately against
nyone attacking the army.
| The cabinet meeting was pro
mged and animated. The min
< ter of agriculture, M. Viger, is
Ksported to have bitterly oppos
’ 1 a revision, and it is rumored
• a will resign. He left the meet
i|ig before it ended, remarking
■ a newspaper man that he was
Ompletely voiceless.'
*1 It is supposed that the in
i’ ructions to prosecute anyone
'ptacking the army were issued
. the request of Gen. Chanoine.
The city is excited and the
ourse is in a disturbed condi
jn. Conservative papers, how
j 'er, counsel the people to re
ain calm.
, It is doubtful if .the action of
’ e cabinet is popular among
I e masses, particularly the
pantry people, who, it is point-
1 out, still cling to the fetich of
Lhe honor of the army.”
IISSON CARRRIED THE DAY EOR
REVISION.
It is understood that M. Bris
n literally wrung consent
>m the cabinet for a revision,
ter a remarkable display of
’I aquence and personal influ
; ce and the stormiest of scenes.
I His strongest opponent was
I . Sarrien, minister of justice,
; io expressed a desire to re
t ;n, and warned the other min-
;ers that they were assuming
errible responsibility.
MM. Viger and Maruejouls,
m spectively minister of agricul-
•e and minister of commerce,
•I'' pported M. Sarrien.
M. Brisson fell into a violent
ssion and declared tearfully
it the ministers ought to cred
aim with understanding all
, i difficulties and the best way
meeting them. Should they
andon him now by refusing a
ision, it would be to face dis
aor. As a final argument he
nted out that it would be an
remely grave matter to force
I abinet crisis while the cham
was not in session.
'he dissenting member© then
ictantly yielded.
4. Marejouls said : “It is not
rth while to resign when it is
>wn that we shall be over
tned in a fortnight.”
I. Chanoine, minister of war,
lained neutral.
‘resident Faure hastily re
ued to Paris this afternoon.
but M. Bri sou went to .Hois de
Bologne, probably to avoid pres
idential interference until the
papers should have announced
the decision in favor of a revis
ion, M. Faure being still strong
ly against a revision.
The criminal chamber of the
court of cessation, which will
examine the dossier, consists of
fifteen judges aud a president,
who happens to be a Jew.

Slain Mam.

police of Oakland were much puz
zled over four bullet wounds found
over the heart of < lei phiae Gre
goirs. He had betna stationary
engineer but was recently dischaig
ed for eccentric conduct-
Everything pointed to suicide,
but the doctors could not account
for a man firing four shots into
his heart, when one bullet should
have been fatal.
So an autopsy was held with a
result that is almost unparalleled
in medical records.
It was found that Gregoire’s
heart was on the right side of bis
body, and of the four bullets in
tended for that vital organ only
one grazed it and the other pene
trated the lungs causing a hemor
rhage, which ended in death. Dr.
Buleau. who made the autopsy,
said there was a general displace
ment of the internal organs.
