Immediately sent the following dis
patch to her husband:
"The Court OF Cessation proclaims
revision. Our hearts and thoughts are
with you. Let us share your immense
happiness. Tenderest kisses from all.
The Figaro says that throughout the

NJ. Matieu Dreyfus and Mnitre D'Mor-
nnrd, their counsel.
Count Esterhazy's confession that he
wrote the bordereau has fallen Ike a
thunderbolt here. II Is true that hid
word has not much value; In fact, the
only doubt about his authorship OF the
document Is that he admits his guilt.
AT any rate, nobody believes that
Dreyfus was n traitor. Those VINO re-
fuse to admit his innocence now are
simply bound hand and foot TO their
party.
Colonel Du Patty de Clam Is confined

He showed himself n torturing In
anIsitor bereft of conscience. What
an awful awakening there must now
be of the hidden monitor. Nemesis
has been less hnltIng than usual In
overtaking him. General Mercier flor

ness. though not the white feather. Hc
was advised to go abroad, but he VIII
not do so.
A pathetic feature OF the Dreyfus
case is the eleven supplicatory letters
10 President Fnure from Devils island.
Dreyfus fancied that General de Bois-
deffrc and NJ. Faure were his friends
and he wrote to them accordingly. His
whole heart. soul and exaspernted
nerves were expressed In these let
tiers. No wonder that NJ. Fnure In
dying suppllcated NIL those whom he
had Injured to forgive him. ''Those"
meant. coming from Fnures lips, Drey-
fus and his family. The late presi-
dent suffered himself to be black
mailed into hindering the work of JUS
tice and nemesis took him up also

PRESIDENT LoUsET ATTACKED.
Mob of Royaiists Reviie Him Mt the Races.
Paris, June 4.-Prcsident Loubet. ac-
companied by the premier. NJ. Dupuy,
md the chief of the military house
hold. General McBallloud. was hooted
at the Auteuil races this afternoon.
As the President drove out there he
was closely followed by Madame Lou
bet in second landau. They drove
along the Avenue Des Champs Elysees,
the crowd bowling respectfully, but on
nrriving at Auteuil they were met by
n violent demonstration, evidently or
ganlzed and directed against the Presi-
dent
There was storm of hoots, yelis
and cries of Panama, "a bas Lou
bet," and "vive rarmee." A few
shouts OF "vive Loubet' were drowned
In the clnmor.
During the grand steeplechase many
blows were struck. and several police
were injured in their endeavors to pre-
vent an invasion OF the presidential
stand.
AT the crisis OF the excitement, while
shouts of "vive rarmee" and "Vive
de Roulede' were heard on all sides,
Count Christiano rushed toward the
President brandishing stick and di-
rected n blow against him, striking his
hat.
The crowd rushed upon Christiano,
who only escaped severe handling by
being taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all the
while quite unmoved. talking with the
premier, while the officers OF his mill
iary household were defending him
against violence.
Police Inspector GrIlliere had his
head seriously wounded in the melee
and President Loubet has since deco
rated him with the Cross Of the Legion
OF Honor in recognition OF his devotion
to duty.
On returning to the Elysee palace, NJ
Loubet received many sympathizine
callers.
1t seems certain that the demonstra
tion was organized by the Jeunesst
Roynliste. the Ligue Des Patriotes and
the anti-Semites, the rnllying sigma
being a cnrnation In the buttonhole.
Most of the persons arrested repre-
sent some OF the best families ir
France. Comte Christiano Is held or
the charge OF attempting to strike th'
President. Comte D'Aubigney DAISY
Is charged with wounding Police In
spector Grilliere and another police
man.
