DREYFJS IN FRANCE.

Captain Dreyfus was safely landed in France
On Friday night, and is now at Rennes awaiting
retrial and, IT is TO be hoped, full vndcation.
His landing was effected clevery and quietly.
Instead of being brought TO Brest, to be con-
fronted by multitude of sghiseers, and e4-
posed 10 probable insult and possible assault
by his enemies, he was brought ashore at
Quiberon, where no one but the officers in the
secret were looking for him, and was safe in
his quarters at Rennes before the news OF his
landing was generally known. Some such ar
rangement was expected by judicious observers.
II is another proof that they order some mat
ters particularly we'll in France.
And what next? Well, Captain Dreyfus,
treated with the courtesy due to a man of his
rank, and arrayed in the full uniform of
French Army officer, will be put upon trial
again. we suppose, as soon as possible. The
trial will be conducted before court martial.
The names Of the members of the court have
been announced. They are not familiar 10 the
general public in this country, being those OF
subordinate officers who have not hitherto fig
ured in the Dreyfus controversy. The pre-
sumption is that they are honest and impartial
men. who will try Captain Dreyfus honestly
and render verdict in accordance with the law
and the evidence. One thing Is certain the
court has not been packed for either side; and
another. that It will not be coerced by Cab
met Minister nor seduced by the secret impart-
alton OF garbled versions Of forged documents.
The precise mode Of procedure has not yet
been announced. and we are not sure 1t has
been decided upon The case is unique In
French jurisprudence. There is no precedent
To be followed as i guide. There Is. therefore,
some doubt as to whether Captain Dreyfus will
be retired simply on the old charges-that Is.
on the old Indictment, without any new instruc-
tions-or whether new indictment Will De
framed and the trial made substantially new
one from the beginning. The latter course Is
undoubtedly the one his enemies would prefer.
They realize that the old indictment Is now
completely discredted and the old charges dis
proved Their Only hope Of convictng rests
upon the possibility Of bringing forward and
subsfantiating some new charges. entirely out
side of the grotesque mass OF forgeres that
made I'D the Dreyfus dossier, and secret dos

IT is great error to suppose that he actually

He did ride a mile on his wheel in less than
minute But it was not his pedalng that ac-
complished It, It was the railroad train by
which he was paced" He rode between the
rails. close behind the train and the rear of the
train was provided with sort of hood under
the very brim of which he rode. Thus he was
not merely screened from any head wind but ne

The renewed assurance sent out from Wash

PATRICK KERVIN DIES
UNDER SURGEONS KNIFE
Mining Expert Succumbs. to the
Effects Of an Operation for
Chronic Pneumonia.

SAN JOSE, July 11.-Patrick Kervfn,
one of the best-known mining men in
the West. died at the O'Connor Sani-
tarium in this city at 7 o'clock this
evening of pneumonia. He came TO the
sanitarium on June 13. Previous to
this he had been in the Waldeck Hos
pital at San Francisco for month.
Kerwin was a native of County Wex-
ford, Ireland, 81 years of age. He came
to California in 1868 and engaged in
mining which he had followed. success
fully since. Kervin was superintendent
of the Consolidated Virginia, Best &
BeIcher, Gould & Curry and Utah
mines. He was also interested in these
and other properties. For a number of
years he was superintendent of the on
tariO a. Park City, Utah. He returned
to California eleven years ago and be-
came identified with the Comstock
mines A widow and three children
survive him.
AS Kervin gradually grew worse the
pneumonia became chronic and the
only hope of saving his life lay in an
operation, which was performed this
afternoon. He never rallied.
KerVin was a practical miner, and
his judgment was greatly sought by
corporations. He aided in developing
many mines and did much to advance
properties under his superintendency.
He is reported TO have had a consider
able fortune. Arrangements for the
funeral have not yet been made.
