DREYFUS REVISION GRANTED
COURT OF CESSATION WILL INsTI-
TUTE AN INQUIRY.

1t Declines. However, to Order the
Release of the Prisoner on Devils
Island - Text of the Courts De-
cision After sitting for Three
Hours and n Half - Public Calmly
Awaited the Verdict But Made NO
Demonstration When Announced.
Paris, Oct. 29-The Court of Cessation
has decided TO grant a revision of the
Dreyfus case, and will institute a supple
mentary inquiry.
The court, however, has declined to or
der the release of Dreyfus.
The decision of the court, textually. is
as follows;
I'm view of the letter of the minister of
justice dated Sept. 20, 1898; in view of the
arguments of the public prosecutor de-
nouncing to the court the condemnation
pronounced by the first court martial of
the military government Of Paris, on Dec.
%, 1884, against Alfred Dreyfus, then a
captain of artillery, attached to the gen.
eral staff; in view of all the documents
in the case, and also articles 44S to 446 of
the code of criminal procedure, amended
by the law of June 10. 1895. relative to
the admissibility of an application in
proper form for revision.
Whereas, the matter has been brought
before the court by the public prosecutor,
in virtue of the express order of the min
lister of justice;
Whereas, the application comes within
the category of the cases contemplated in
article 44S and has been introduced within
the period fixed by article 444;
Whereas, the Judgment, a revision of
which is demanded, has the force of a
chose jugee;
Whereas, the documents produced do
not place the court in a position to decide
all the merits of the case and there is
ground for making a supplementary in
quiry;
For these reasons the court declares
the application to be in proper form and
legally admissible, and states that it will
institute a supplementary inquiry, and de-
clares there is no ground at the present
moment for deciding on the public prose
cutor's application for a suspension of the
penalty"
The judges of the court were occupied
for three hours and half in considering
the judgment.
The public, whose admission to the court
was regulated with the greatest care
awaited the decision with marked calm
ness.
During the suspension of business th'
public crowded into the Hobbies and ther'
was evident anxiety to hear the verdict.
There was no demonstration when thu
court rose.
The decision created no public excite
ment and complete tranquility prevails OF
the streets.

PROF. NORTON's WARNING.
lie Thinks the Pension List "a List of
Corruption.

Cambridge Mass. Oct. 29.-Prof. Charles
Elliott Norton. In an address before the
Graduates Club OF Harvard College, ex-
pressed sentiments which are likely to
arouse as much discussion among Har-
ward men and others. as has followed
many OF Prof. Norton's recent utterances
The speakers subject was THE New
America"
In the course of his remarks he reviewed
the conditions which made this republic
In many ways an experiment in the his
tory of democracies
Continuing, he said: mo one would
nave thought the American nation so de-
Vold or sense as to go to war In the De-
ginning of the hot season In a tropical
climate and without any adequate prepara-
lions TO carry that war to a successful
issue
This war was a revelation. The old
America came TO an end with a declara-
tlon of war. The new America threw over
many of the old ideals which have been
maintained by this Old America and sub
stituied forthwith those of the other ma
tions of the world We must make up our
minds to the new conditions. We are 20
be military nation. Moreover all brutal
tendencies viii be encouraged by the re-
cognition of force as the last appeal by
the central government itself And, too.
entanglements with other nations must
arise. Meanwhile we have no leaders and
hence we find ourselves with great respon-
sblllties and no guidance for the ignor-
ant uninformed, infammable popu-
lace and we are allowing events
to carry US in the most dangerous situa-
tons. The whole system of government
was needed to be revised and reorganlzed.
The pension list Is a list OF corruption
and has lowered the morals OF the recipi-
ents, while 1t has increased the national
Indebtedness
rs there nothing to be done? We must
divorce the government of these depend
encies from politics, or else they win be-
come dens OF corruption"
Prof. Norton advocated leaving the Phil
ippines to the care of Spain.

HOBsON BEFORE HIS CHIEFS.
He Explains the Conditions of the
wrecked spanish Ships.


Washington, Oct. 2s-Naval Constructor
Hobson arrived in this city to-day from
Philadelphia, where he took part in the
peace jubilee.
This afternoon he appeared before the
board of naval bureau chiefs for the pur-
pose of explaining the condition Of the
Spanish ships wrecked Off the coast Of
Santiago, and the progress ard prospects
of the efforts which are making for their
recovery. 1t is said that over a million
dollars will be required to continue the
operations and the Secretary of the Navy
desires to know what chance there is of
success before authorizing the expendi-
ture of so large an amount of money. The
action Of the department viii be based
upon the reports Of bureau chiefs after the
examination of Naval Constructor Hob
son. The latter was with the board all the
afternoon and gave a great deal of detail
ed information as to the condition of the
wrecks He was of the opinion that 1t
was useless to continue the services of the
wrecking company any longer. and that
results did not warrant the $500 per day
1t is receiving.
Constructor Hobson said that in his
opinion the Colon and the Nlzcaya could
be raised and brought TO dry docks at
New York or Norfolk at a cost of $4,000
for one and $780, 900 for the other, and
possibly both could be brought in for $400,-
900 each. Mr.. Hobson wanted to be plac-
ed at the head OF the wrecking company
which he should organize, and be author
lied to expend from $4,000 to 100000 on
the two vessels. He said the huh of the
Vizcaya was intact, and he proposes to
I.taFl1 1as her "A M hrtr
her to the surface, afIer making repairs
necessary to float her.
Mr.. Hobson also gave the bureau chiefs
some information concerning the Rena
Mercedes and the Merrimac. The former
could be easily raised, he believed, for
1t was apparent that she only had been
scuttled. The Merrlmac could be raised,
and he said she must be removed from
the mouth OF the harbor in some way. The
board will have another meeting Monday,
and possibly make some recommendations
to the secretary regarding the wrecks off
Santiago
