COURT or CAssATIoN's POWER.
1T Can Require The Testimony of the
Highest officials.

Paris, Oct. 30.-By Saturdays decision,
the Court Of Cessation obtains the most
absolute control over the Dreyfus case.
It can demand and examine any doca-
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 sincere use
of its powers the truth viii have a much
better chance of being discovered than
it would have been had it merely ordered
revision before another court martial,
whose members might have been aetuated
by a desire to shield the general staff.
Having concluded its 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 a com~
municaton to it of the alleged secret dos
sier if this is still in existence, while the
numerous generals who have expressed
their belief in the guilt of Dreyfus will
now be called upon to explain the grounds
OF their convictions.
Although the liberation of Dreyfus has
not been ordered, the court can direct
that he be brought to France at any mo-
ment, and will probably do so at an early
stage Of the inquiry. The court RETAINED
from ordering his release on Saturday, be-
cause il would have been presumption
of his innocence.

Some Doubt as to Joint Session at

Paris, Oct. S0-Senor Montero Rios,

the Spaniards would consent to enter

There is a strong impression, which has

entire Philippine group, would quit the

1t is believed here tonight, on the eve

On this point Judge Day, through the
associated Press, has already pontedly
denied the existence of an actual construc-

spondence and this denial is supported by
the French yellow book.
NJ. Cambon, however has given the mat

termination not to tolerate partisan poll

Carefully prepared reports were submit

committees.
The meeting received with enthusiasm

rights, the cessation of the present mill
