, GETS NEW TRIAL The Unfortunate Ex-Artiller Ist Has New Chance FOR HIS VINDICATION And The', French Mob Shouts Vive la Revisiene. Paris, Sept. 26.—At a meet ing of the cabinet this morning, all the ministers being present, a decision was taken in favor of a revision of the trial of former Capt. Dreyfus, and the docu ments in the case will be sent to the court cassation. The court ordered the minister of justice, M. Sarrien, to lay be fore the court ol cassation the petition of Mme. Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner of Devil’s Island, for a revision of her husband’s case. The court therefore will decide the legal question as to whether the first trial of Capt. Ereyfus was vitiated by the forg ery committed by the late Lieut. Col. Henry, who was a witness before the court martial and who confessed to having forged a document in the case. Tne minister of justice has announced that he has given instructions that proceedings are to be taken immediately against anyone attacking the army. The cabinet meeting was pro longed and animated. The min ister of agriculture, M. Viger, is reported to have bitterly oppos ed a revision, and it is rumored he will resign. He left the meet ing before it ended, remarking to a newspaper man that he was completely voiceless. It is supposed that the in structions to prosecute anyone attacking the army were issued at the request of Gen. Chanoine. The city is excited and the bourse is in a disturbed condi tion. Conservative papers, how ever, counsel the people to re main calm. It is doubtful if the action of the cabinet is popular among the masses, particularly the country people, who, it is point ed out, still cling to the fetich of “the honor of the army.*’’ BRISSON CARRRIED THE DAY FOR REVISION. It is understood that M. Bris son literally wrung consent from the cabinet for a revision, after a remarkable display of eloquence and personal influ ence and the stormiest of scenes. His strongest opponent was M. Sarrien, minister of justice, who expressed a desire to re sign, and warned the other min isters that they were assuming a terrible responsibility. MM. Viger and Maruejouls, respectively minister of agricul ture and minister of commerce, supported M. Sarrien. M. Brissoh fell into a violent passion and declared tearfully that the ministers ought to cred it him with understanding all the difficulties and the best way of meeting them. Should they abandon him now by refusing a revision, it would be to face dis honor. As a final argument he pointed out that it would be an extremely grave matter to force a cabinet crisis while the cham ber was not in session. The dissenting members then reluctantly yielded. M. Marejouls said : “It is not worth while to resign when it is known that we shall bo over turned in a fortnight.” M. Chanoine, minister of war, remained neutral. President Faure hastily re turned to Paris this afternoon, but M. Brisson went to Bois de ; Bologne, probably to avoid pres idential interference until th 3 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 and a president, who happens to be a Jew. HIS HEART It Was On Right Side Os Self- Slain Man. San Franc’sco, Sept. 27.—The police of Oakland were much puz zled over four bullet w< unds found over the heart of Lleophiae Gre goire. He had been a stationary engineer but was recently dischaig ed for eccentric cunduct- E.verything pointed to euiede, 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 his body, and of the four bullets in tended tor that vital organ only one grazed it and the other pene trated the lungs causing a hemor rhage, which ended in death.
