NEW TRIAL FOR pREYFus.
On1cinl Announcement Made in Regard 10
Case of Famous Military Prisoner.

Case of Famous Military Prisoner.
London, May 2S.-Special dispatches
from Paris received here to-day say
that the government officially an
nounced that Dreyfus will be retired
by court martial, the sittings of
which will be held in a garrison town
distant from Paris.
Paris, May 27.-Early this afternoon
1t was rumored that the president of
the civil section of the Court of Cassa-
tiOn,- NJ. Ballot De Beaupre, had, re-
ported to the president of the Court of
Cessation, NJ. Bazeau, In favor of a
revision of the Dreyfus trial, and send
ing the prisoner again befort a court
martial.
This, later in the day, was confirmed
by a direct statement that the presi-
dent of the civil section had SO report
ed to the president of the Court Of
Cessation. 1t is believed that 1t Is
practically certain to be accepted by
the Court of Cessation, and means that
Dreyfus will be brought back to
France and retired.
From the President of the Court OF
Cessation, the Dreyfus report will pass
into the hands Of the procurer general,
Mr. Manau.
The proceedings Of the case will be
public, although the greater part Of
the court has been reserved for ticket
holders. The procedure will consist
of the reading of the report Of NJ. Bal
lot De Beaupre, followed by a speech
by Maitre Monard, counsel for Mime.
Dreyfus, and the address of the public
prosecutor, NJ. Maneau. The court
will then retire to deliberate upon a
verdict, which 1t is expected will be
rendered on Friday or Saturday.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Our Correspondents Airs His Views Con-
cerning Legislation at Salem.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 6 Especial to The
CHRONICLE. THE press statement here
that Jos. A. Wright, of Union county,
was to supercede the present superin-
tendent of the penitentiary, is very pre-
mature, and, in fact, is liable to he alto
gether talk.
The facts OF the case are that Governor
Geer has promised no appointment in
that direction, and all such runors
eminate from those who believe that
they have all power with the states
chief executive, and by their wind and
gall can force or coerce him to 60 their
bidding. We do not doubt that Mr..
Wright would make an excellent officer
at that institution, yet we are inclined
to dlstrust the statement of such choice
as being little short of the truth.
The past week has been taken up at
the state capital by measures, the more
pointed of which have been either back
ed or bucked by lobbyists. Among the
most conspicuous cases were the Daily
school bill, the sugar beet bounty bill,
the bill fixing salaries of district attor-
neys, and the great medical bill. This
latter measure is scheme, whereby the
the so-called "regular school" physicians
were to be declared by law 1.-THE only"
doctors which might practice medicine
in the state. The matter will be prop
rerly sat upon when it reaches the house.
The district attorneys are very eager
for that law to be enacted whereby they
can receive more money for their serv-
ices, from the public treasury, but they
may get dampener put on their un-
holy ami mbition " hen an august assembly
of lawmakers says init"
This will apply also to the gang that
is trying to run the sugar beet bounty
steal through the senate. 1t won't GO
unless your correspondent has counted
some member against it twice.
The Daily school bill will undoubtedly
become law, although a dozen repre-
sentatives of the hook trusts are urging
every available means to, in come man
ner, cripple the measure, SO that il
might become imperative.
Several meritorIous measures are VI
for consideration, relative to the fishing

queer character has been making
the rounds of the city for several even
ings past, and inquiring at the various
homes for nights lodging. He has a
weird appearance, is tall and thin. with
bushy brown whiskers, and has long
hair. He claims to be an evangelist and
that the Lord requires his people TO
make provision for his wants. At one
place he surprised the man who
answered his knock at the door, by ex-
claiming 'Peace be unto this house,"
and with the next breath asking for a
bed. The gentleman refused to admit a
stranger into his home, but offered him
money with which to procure lodging
but his visitor refused saying, .'Bless you,
man, [ can't take your money, The Lord
will PROVIDE" He seems to believe that
the Lord takes care of those who depend
on their neighbors, and has since been
doing the town, frightening many ladies
whom he has demanded conversations
with. No doubt he is insane; but al
though the attention of the authorities
has been called to his queer actions, he
has succeeded in eluding them.

known as the Police Patrol was perfected

prove OF great benefit to residents of this

protection for goods carried out of build

appointed from each company, will act
as police, and prevent any theft which
would otherwise occur. The marshal
