How the Time Was Fixed.

nose who think Dreyfus will be releas-
ed IN october, because the five years on
levi Island will wipe out the present
sentence saw in the fact that he was SEN
fenced Tor exactly ten years, a confirma-
Ilon OF their view, but they are mistaken
he was sentenced to ten years. not be-
cause that happens to be double his term
on Devifs Island, but because, according
10 the military code, the recording of two
votes IN his favor fixes the term of de-
tehtloh at ten years. Had the verdict
pech unanimous he must have been SEN
fenced to twenty years.
Ihose protesting to have ascertained,
since the verdict, the opinion of the Judges
declare that the vote of five to two was
not given by mutual agreement, but be-
cause the two judges voted in his favor
from a conviction of his innocence.
The present procedure in the application

VIII be sent to Paris. The clerk of the
courtmarual must send a complete dos
sler OF the trial, including all the docu-
ments submitted. A reporter will be ap-
pointed TO examine it minutely and as
certain whether there be any flaw in the
proceedings. The result will be submit
ted to the court of revision, which will
maintain or annul the sentence.
An AcGuittaI Was AnticiDated.
AN interesting faet, developed to-day, is
that the police had taken every precau-
ton to get Dreyfus out of Rennes safely
IN the event of acquittal, in which case
II was unanimously agreed, there would
nave been serious disorder and probably
an attempt upon his life. The police had
arranged to conduct him back to the mil
itary prison after the verdict, with the
same precautions as during the trial He
was to have been given civilian attire and
a false beard and then 10 have left the
prison by the small door of the recruiting
office leading to the Avenue de la Care
No one would have expected him 10 leave
through that building, which is attached
to the military prison, and, thanks to the
disguise, the police hoped he would reach
the station safely, where a special train
was waiting to rush him off before the
crowd could have learned of his leaving
the prison.

third of a mile apart, in order to avoid
danger of collision. The procession Is
over forty miles long. AS most of the
