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. i j — - Ji Ills HEART It Was On Right Side Os Self- Slain Mam.
