Paris, Sept. 27.-At a meeting OF
the cabinet Monday, all the ministers
being present, a decision was taken
in favor of a revision Of the trial OF
Capt. Dreyfus and the documents IN
the case will be sent to the court OF
cessation.
The cabinet ordered the minister Of
Justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition Of Mad
anne Dreyfus, wife OF the prisoner OF
DEVILS island, for a revision Of her
husbands case. The court, therefore,
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial of Capt. Drey-
tus was vitiated by the forgery COM
mitted 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.
The minister of justice has an
nounced that he has given instruc-
tions that proceedings are to be taken
Immediately against any one attack
ing the army.
1t is supposed that the instructions
to prosecute any one attacking the
army were issued at the request of
Gen. Chanoine. The city is excited
and the bourse is in disturbed con-
dition. The conservative papers,
however, counsel the people to re-
main calm. 1t is doubtful if the de-
cision of the cabinet is popular
among the masses, particularly the
country people.
It is understood that Brisson liter
ally wrung consent from the cabinet
for a revision after a remarkable dis
play of eloQuence and personal inf1u-
ence and the stormiest of scenes. His
strongest opponent was Sarrien, min
lister of justice, who expressed a de-
sire to resign and told the other min
listers they were assuming a terrible
responsibility. The minister of COM
merce supported Sarrien. BrissOn fell
into a violent passion and declared
officially that the ministers ought to
credit him with understanding all
the difficulties and the best way OF
meeting them. Should they abandon
him now by refusing a revision 1t
would be to face dishonor. AS final
argument he pointed out that it would
be a grave matter to force a cabinet
crisis while the chamber was not in
session. The dissenting ministers
then reluctantly yielded. Then Chan
oine, minister of war, remained neu-
trail.
President Faure hastily returned to
Paris in the afternoon, but Brisson
went to Bots de Bologne to avoid
presidential interference until the pa
pers should have announced the de-
cision in favor of a revision, Faure
being still strong against it.
The criminal chamber of the court
of cessation, which will examine Dos
sier, consists of Is judges and a pres
ident, who happens to be Jew.

HAMLIN GARLAND RETURNS.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept 27.-Hamlin
Garland, the author of a number of
charming stories of western life. has
returned to his home in West Salem.
after very trying experience in the
hlondike. He made one excursion
into the frozen wilds IN the mountains
and came, he says, as near starving to
death as ever any one did who came
out OF the experience alive. There is
not enough money to be had, he de-
clares, in that entire region to induce
him to so back there and repeat even
half of the experiences that he mas
gone through. The hardships he has
suffered tell on him considerably,
though he is yet in fairly good health.
1t is more than probable that Mr..
Garland will write book on what he
saw and experienced in the gold fields.

Gov. Black will not go into the con-
vention. His friends are urging him
to do so, but up to this time he stout
ly maintains that it would not be dig
nified. One of the first who called on
Depew was Senator Platt. The gov
ernor cordially received Depew. The
fact that the platform will endorse
Blacks administration is indicative Of
good feeling. The platform will en-
dorse the administration of Governor
Black and review the proceedings of
the last two sessions of the republican
legislature. Beyond that the platform
will not deal with state issues, but
will chiefly touch questions of nation
al scope, including unqualified ap-
prevail of McKinley's administration.

ready here. The boom of Justice
Robert G. Titus Of Erie was among
the first to be launched. Mayor J. K.
McGuire's friends are naturally nu-
merous and enthusiastic in his home
town. All of the Tammany delega-
ton have not yet arrived, but there
is a sufficient number here to keep
the talk of Mayor Van Wyck's can
didacy before the people. His chances,
however, received a setback last
night when the members of the Erie
county delegation announced that
Croker had stated to them that the
candidate for governor would not be
named from territory south Of Albany.
The first gubernatorial candidate to
arrive here was Congressman William
Sulzer. The next was John B.
Stanchfield of Elmira. No on at this
time dares to predict the nominee for
governor.

THEY GOT BIG SWAG.
Friday Nights Robbers Made a Good
Haul

Kansas City, Sept 27.-Notwith-
standing the strong alibi that John
Kennedy has established for his
whereabouts Friday night, when the
Missouri and Pacific express car was
blown up, the police refuse to believe
he had nothing to do with the crime.
The officers at work on the case say
they do not believe that Kennedy was
one of the five who actually did the
work, but they believe he planned it
and knew those who did do it. Chief
Hayes does not hesitate to say that
the men who Lave done nearly all the
robbing around Kansas City i've in
the east. He believes the robberies
net more gain to the thieves than the
express companies have ever acknowl-
edged. When the wrecked and bat
tered express car of Friday nights

people found 81 200 in silver scattered
around. This is pointed to as proof
enough that the robbers were we'll

| Clarke d. Browne, formerly a news
paper man in Minneapolis and st.
Paul, is in happy luck. He is en-
gagged to marry Miss Nellie E.
Waters of Little Falls, N. Y, young
woman of fortune, neiress to over a
quarter of a million. From ST. Paul
Mr. Browne went TO Milwaukee, thence
to st. Louis where he drifted into the
theatrical business and became press
agent for a theater. Last summer he
was press agent for the Ringing cir
Gus, and on lis way stopped in Utica,
n Y, where he met Miss Waters. 1t
was a case of love at first sight, and
when the circus proceeded to New
York, the young woman found occa-
sion to visit the city. Later, when the
circus visited Little Falls, n. Y, Mr..
Browne met Miss Waters again, pro-
posed and was accepted. The young
woman is prominently connected, and
traces her ancestry to the Churchill
family of England. Her father was
the late J. c.. Waters, president of
the New York Central railway. Her
uncle, James n. Churchill a widely
known turf patron in New York state,
became her guardian, and on his re-
cent death he left her a considerable
fortune. Another uncle to Miss
Waters was Harvey D. Calvin, form
erly mayor of Chicago.
