COURT OF CESSATION SUPREME.
Having Agreed to Revise the Dreyfus Cas-
IL Has Entire Control.


1t Has Entire Control.
Paris, Oct. 31.-By Saturdays decision
the court of cessation obtains the most
absolute control over the Dreyfus case.
1t can demand and examine any docu-
ments whatever. including the "dossier.' %
of any case bearing upon the Dreyfus
matter and can examine under oath
any witness. however high his position.
In short. if the court makes a sincere
use of its powers the truth will have n
much better chance of being discovered
than would have been the case had it
merely ordered revision before another
court-martial, whose members might
have been actuated by desire to shield
the general staff. Having concluded it's
inquiry it can present a new dossier to
either a civil or a military court for the
final decision. Its proceedings will not
be public and there can. therefore, be no
objection to the communication to it of
the alleged secret dossier, If this is still
in existence. while the numerous gen.
erals who have expressed their belief in
the guilt of Dreyfus will now be called
upon to explain the grounds of their
convictions.
The decision of the court first declares
that lin view of the arguments of the
public prosecutor denouncing to the
court the condemnation pronounced by
the first court-martial of the military
government of Paris on Dec. %, 1894,
against Alfred Dreyfus, then a captain
of artillery attached to the general
staff: in view of all the documents in
the case" etc. and as the matter has
been brought before the court according
TO certain laws. etc. the court declares
the application to be in proper form and
legally admissible. and states that it
will institute supplementary inquiry,
and declares there is no ground at the
present moment for deciding on the public
sion OF the penalty After all the turbu-
lence the mere proposal to investigate
whether the Dryfus case should even
be talked about il a curious fact that
Paris is free of riots in the face of this
decision.
Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered the court can or
der him brought to France at any mo-
ment. and will probably do so at an
early stage of the inquiry. The court
refrained from ordering his release on
Saturday because il would have been
a presumption of his innocence Paul

urday morning. DR.. Blauvelt, who had
been attending Colonel Waring, was
hastily summoned to che quarantined
house at l o'clock in the morning. The
patient had grown decidedly worse, and
the dread symptom of black vomiting
had made its appearance.
This symptom contPued until the
colonel died. Nothing could be done for
him. and the physicians and his friends
stood helplessly by until the end came.
His body was taken to Swinburne's ISL

Chicago, Oct. 31.-In the presence of

table at the county hospital, to undergo

surgeons and attaches of the county

The operation developed the fact that
Collier was right in regard to the cause
of his erratic conduct. The blow he re-
ceived on his head some years ago, CIV

preston of the skull. but the surgeons
also believe it caused a tumor in the
brain, the location of which will be
made by another operation, possibly. On

RELATIONS MUCH STRAINED.
England and France Regarded All But
at Swords Points.


London, Oct. 31.-There was an un-
expeetedly gloomy feeling this morn
ing on the stock exchange and the
Paris bourse. Both markets are be-
ing influenced, it is inferred, from the
aggressive tone of some of the French
papers, Besides this something ex-
traordinary seems to have happened,
and il looks as if n crisis was ap-
preaching. British naval preparations
are being pushed with great activity,
The British emergency squadron is
gathering at Davenport with all pos
sible speed. Seven battleships and
one cruiser have been thus far desig-
mated to join this squadron. Officers
and sailors have been hurriedly re-
called from leave of absence and sever
al battleships and cruisers at Ports
mouth are taking full crews on board
and other warlike preparations are
being made.
A sensation was caused by the ar
rest this morning of a supposed Rus
sian spy at a fort near Harwitch. He
tried to obtain information from a
sentry regarding the Notifications.
1t is reported the commanding
officers of the London volunteer regi-
ments have received orders to prepare
for immediate mobilization and that
the artillery corps has been informed
as to the forts on the southern and
eastern coasts to which they have
been allotted. The Pail Mall Gazette
says: England has been and even
now is so near war the govern
ment has carried preparations to
the sarthest limit of the preparatory

out the reserves and militia and mo-
bilize the volunteers simultaneously,

having a pool they We're getting lower
rates for the people and preventing dis
ordinations. Their legislation pro-
ceeded upon the thought that there Is
but one line, for instance, between New
York and Chicago, whereas there are
eight lines. Now it is possible for a
combination of capital to take the -veak
line and ship it's product over tha- line
upon and agreement much below the
current rates. The weak line may be
in the hands of a receiver ard have no
obligations to pay either upon its stock
or upon it's bonds-in other words. upon
the invested capital which built it. The
other lines cannot afford to go into
bankruptcy by following this rate, and
so they let the weaker line have this
traffic. or they conduct their own traffic
upon regular and reasonable rates.
1.-THE effect of this is very soon evil
dent. The rates which these big ship
pers get over this bankrupt line enable
them to make their product so much
cheaper than the people who are sit
uated upon the other lines, or who send
to market from other places than the
terminus of the bankrupt line, that they
drive them out of business. Their the
antitrust, anti-corporation, anti-com-
bination people, by their own device,
trust. This process has been going on
ever since the interstate commerce act
and the arti-pooling provision were en-
forced.
1.-The objection to a pooling --y has
always been that the railways would
combine to raise prices. 1t is apparent
ly useless for the railroad man to say
what he knows to be a fact-that the
demands of the different markets, the
~
conditions of the different centers at
which freight is gathered make it i'm
possible for the railways to raise rates.
But the railways are not only willing
but anxious that this danger should be
obviated by giving the government su-
pervision and control oyer all pooling
