VERY FAST FLYERS.
Phenomenal Time Made by Homing
Pigeons Owned at Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, May 31.-This city
has some of the fastest long-distance
honaing pigeons in the United States.
This fact was demonstrated yesterday,
when five homers started from sac
ramento in the morning, reached this
city and returned to their lofts WITHIN
twelve hours after the start
The best time was by o. F. Zahn

DREYFUS REVISION.
THE COURT OF cAssATToN RE-
sUMES IT'S HEARING.
Procurator General Maneau Con
tinues His Speech Contending
'-sl Esterhazy Wrote Bordereau.

PARIS, May 31-The vicinity Of the
Palace Of Justice was almost deserted
to-day when the Court of Cessation
resumed hearing the arguments in the
application for a revision of the Drey
fus trial. Many of the public seats i'll
the court were empty.
M. Maneau, the Procurator General.
continued his Speech which was inter-
rupted yesterday by the adjournment Of
the court. He commended that Major
Count Esterhazy was the author Of the
bordereau, which has figured so promi-
nently in the case, and not Dreyfus.
In the course Of his remarks he said
that whoever was guilty, somebody had
committed the crime Of treason. Ester
hazy, however, he pointed out, having
been acquitted of the authorship of the
bOrdereau, cannot again be prosecuted
on this ground, even if he We're a hun
dred times guilty.
Later NJ. Maneau said: Definite
proof exists that there has been an act
Of treason Of a nature tending t. COM
promise the security of the State. Are
we not, perhaps, in the presence of q
number of unimportant documents, as
General MERCER thought, and, conse-
quently in the presence of mysterious
hoax, an audacious piece. of swindling
perpetrated by the author Of the bor-
dereau upon his foreign correspondent?
This is a terrible question, and one
which involves the most painful pre-
sumption-that of the martyrdom Of a
man whose innocence seems established
by several new facts
M. ManeauS address was largely a
repetition of the statements of the re-
porter of the case. There was the same
array Of facts, and similar deductions
therefrom. The ProcuratOr Generals
analysis of the secret documents was
very close, and he wound up with an
emphatic declaration that there was
nothing in the secret dossier to inciimi-
nate Dreyfus, saying: I'VE do not I'M
derstand why there was such delay in
submitting them to investigation
This statement caused a sensation.
Continuing, M. Maneau remarked:
"Of the three secret documents by
which M. Cavaignac Former Minister
of War; sought 10 justify the condemna-
ton, two were forgeries and the third
does not apply to Dreyfus.''
This declaration uttered with impress
sive solemnity, had an immense effect
on the audience.
In conclusion, NJ. Maneou said: I'VE
assert several new facts exist, of such
a nature as to prove Dreyfus innocence.
Therefore, may it please the court to
quash the judgment Of December -,
1894, and send Dreyfus as defendant
before such court-martial as the court
may decide
This statement caused applause,
which the President suppressed By Or
dering the court to be cleared.

Out, All Escaping in Safety
The Destroyed Building One of
the Landmarks Of San Mateo
County.

MEMO PARK, May 31.-There was
wild excitement here this morning,
caused by destructive fire which
wiped out one of the prominent old
buildings of this section. The building
was used as part of Hoitt's School for
Boys, which was transferred from San
Matoo to this place about five months
ago.
The building was the old Atherton
residence. 1t was about mile and a
quarter southwest of town and was
built of wood. The fire broke out late
in the morning. 1t was caused by a
defective f1ue in the northern end Of
the building. The children were all in
the building next to the Atherton
structure when the spires of smoke
were noticed coming from the roof and
wall.
The closing exercises were being held
in the other buildings When the cry OF
"Fire!" was given the children be-
came greatly excited and rushed into
the halls and out of the building. They
got off at a safe distance and watched
the old mansion burn.
The fire department at Redwood City
was summoned to subdue the flames,

and would have taken a sea of water
to quench the flames. To handicap the
Redwood firemen the water mains gave
but light supply Of water, and the
firemen had to watch the structure
burn to the ground without being able
to save any part OF IT.
:. + The old Atherton home was the only
building burned. No lives were lost ana
nobody was injured. There was large
crowd of people present-the parents
and friends of the boys.
The Atherton residence was a mag
nificent building, and was built many
years ago at great expense The
grounds surrounding it were beauu-
fully laid out. The place was many
times the scene of aristocratic gather
ings. George and Paxton D. Ather-
