Hope for DreyfuS.

PAEIa. Oct 2S-The belief is general
that the court of cassa ion. which is
now in session. will pronounce neither
for revision nor for annulment of the
decision in the Drcyfu> case. as either
course would entail awkward conse-
Guences. 10 avoid these. it is expected
the court will decide that as the affair
now presents itself, there has been no
treason and that therefore the con-
domination pronounced upon Dreyfus
by the court martial. cannot be upheld.

afterward two barns filled with
hay and corn belonging to w. E.

barn be set on fire. While sitting
there he heard match strike and
two people talking. Before he
