PARIS IS GREATLY EXCITED
SENSATION FOLLOWS SENSATION
 OYER THE DREYFUS CASE.

lieutenant Colonel Henry, After Con-
 fessing the Forgery of Letter Intro
 duced as Evidence Against Dreyfus
 Commits Suicide by Cutting Ills
 Throat With Razor-The Cabinet
 Under President Faure Holds Two
 Stormy Sessions.
 Paris, Aug. 31.-Great excitement pre- vails in Paris over extraordinary de- velopments in the Dreyfus and Zola cases. The sensation, caused by the ar rest of Lieutenant Colonel Henry last night, after his confession of having introduced forged evidence against M. Zola, at the recent trial of the novelist, has been intensified in the extreme by that officer committing suicide late to- day by cutting his throat with a razor.
 During the recent Zola trial Henry accused Colonel Piquart of falsifying telegrams. A duel followed in which Henry was wounded. The next scene occurred in the chamber of deputies where Colonel Piquart proclaimed a letter, introduced as evidence against Dreyfus, a forgery and, as a result, was arrested, while Henry's villainy was rewarded by his being appointed Colonel Piquart's successor in the In- telligence department. Henry confessed he forged the letter with the express object of paralyzing Colonel Piquart' S efforts to expose Major Count Ester hay and to get a revision of the Drey- fLs case. The letter was written in bad French, a fact which first led it to be regarded as spurious. It is said that if the cabinet decided upon revi- sion of the Dreyfus case, M. Cavaignac, minister of war, will resign.
 The scene of Lieutenant Colonel Hen rvs avowal was most painful. When he saw it was almost useless to deny further his tongue grew too thick in his mouth, and he was unable to speak. It was feared that he would have an apop1etic stroke. After his arrest he was permitted to visit his wife while on the way to the fortress at Mont Va lerein. She thought he really had a fit. He addressed her as My poor wife, adding, II am under arrest" The off, cer accompanying him was under or ders not to lose sight of him for mo- ment, and therefore, he could not see his wife alone. All three proceeded to his bedroom to get the necessary cloth ing. Henry then clasped his wife in his arms and exclaimed: My conscience is pure and free from everything" This exclamation is much commented upon as going to show that he may possibly have forged the letter under orders from his superiors.
 Lieutenant Colonel Henry was a peasants son. He was born on Pouzy in Marne in 1848 and enlisted in a foot regiment as his brothers substitute in 1863. He had a good military record for bravery. He was a prisoner of war in 1870, and was wounded In the Alger- ian campaign. He retained much of the rough and ready manners of a non- commissioner officer. He was lacking in education, spoke no foreign Ian guage and owed his promotion prima- rilyto his reputation for blunt straight forwardness. ...

 Paris Aug. 31.-The cabinet has held two stormy sittings under the presiden- cv of M. Faure It finally rose between 6 and o'clock, having apparently fail- ed to arrive at a, decision on the ques- tion of revising the Dreyfus sentence, for the customary official note was not issued. It is possible, however, looking to the excited state of public feeling, that the government deems 1t advisa- ble to proceed cautiously and to conceal it's decisions for the present.
