WILL RECOMMEND NEW TRIAL.
Civil Section of Court Of Cessation
i'm Favor Of Revision.

Paris, May 3O.-It was currently re-
ported this morning that the report OF
the civil section of the court OF clSsa-
ton to the fun court favors a revision
of the Drcyfus trial and urges the re-
sending of the case to Il court-martlal.
Later in the day the report was di-
rectlv confirmed. 1t is believed the re-
port is practically certain to be ac-
ceptcd by the court of cessation ana
means that Dreyfus will be brought
back to France and retired.
The minister Of war, Camille krantz,
has issued stringent orders that no Of
ficcr, either in civilian costume or III
uniform, shall frequent the palace OF
Justice or its precincts mex week dur.
ing the public hearing for the demand
for a revision Of the Dreyfus trial, and
during the trial before the court OF as
sizes of Paul Dcroulede and NJ. Marcel
Uabert, on u charge of provoking Of
lenses aaginst the security of the state
and melting the army to mutiny.
On the day Of the funeral of the late
President Faure, February % last, as
the troops led by General Roget were
returning from the cemetery OF Pere
La Chaisc to barraC.s at Neullly-Sur-
Seine. Paul Deroulede, chief of the
League of Patriots, and a violent OPP
ponent of Dreyfus revision, called
upon General Roget TO march his
troops on the Elysee palace. The re-
quest was ignored.
NJ. Dcroulede, who was then jolneo
by NJ. Marcel-Habert, member OF the
chamber of deputies for liamboulllet,
another violent anti-revisionist, head
ed a band of men and entered the
courtyard of the barracks with the brl-
gadc. Deroulede and Marcel-Habert
boldly proclaimed that they wished to
lead the army into Il revolutionary
movement and to replace the parlla"
mentary republic by IA plebiscitary re-
public. They refused to quit the bar
racks and were placed under arrest.
On the following day the facts were re-
ported to the chamber of deputies,
which promptly authorized the public
prosecutor to take proceedings against
them on the charge of attempting to
turn the troops from their duty.

Of speech.
He was still sitting in the drawing-room
with his sister-when Valerie's letter wa
brought to him.
His cheek flushed, and his hand actually
shook, as he took the letter from t'& salver
"From Valerie Herbert" he said, hall
turning toward Miss Lawford, who, i tmaJ
be stated, had never approved Of the pro
posed alliance, regarding Valerie as o
heartless flirt, and even darkly limiting that
so giddy a wife would hardly be very trust
worthy.
He opened the letter, expecting, OF course,
a grateful acceptance, and as he read he
went livid.
Refused! Impossible! There must be
some mistake! lie read again; but there
was no misleading that plain and straight
refusal.
He sat staring Mt the page, the pallor in
his face changing to a purple flush; while
his sister watched him in intense anxiety,
and at last broke out with:
"Aston, what in Heavens name is the

HENDERSON THEIR CHOICE.
Wisconsin Congressman Decide To
SmnnOrt the IOMAn.

Milwaukee, May RELATIONSHIPS
delegation TO congress, numbering ten
members, will support the candidacy
of David b. Henderson, of Iowa, in the
coming speakership contest.
This decision was reached at u
meeting of all the members of the del.
egation at the Hotel Pfister Saturday
evening. A canvass of the members
before the conference was held showed
that they were almost evenly divided
in their support of Henderson, of Iowa,
and Hopkins, of Illinois, with the
chances slightly favoring the gentle
man from the Hawkeye state. One
thing was certain, and that was that
a western man was sure to be agreed
upon.
1t is said that but II ballot was nee
essary to decide the question, the
majority being in favor of Mr.. IIender-
son. Following the first ballot came
the decision to vote MS n unit for Col.
Henderson. 1t is said that several of
the members preferred Mr.. Hopkins
before the conference was convened,
but came TO a different conclusion aft
er a general discussion took place.

TOO, CLEVER FOR THE JEWELER.
swindled by Thieves While He
Closely Watched Them. I

Joshua Chaplin, a jeweler of London,
while visiting n diamond dealer in
Maiden lane, related this experience
with clever thieves, says the n. Y. Her
aid: 4
Long after | thought l knew all the
tricks of diamond thieves, | had an ex-
perience that taught me a lesson at the
cost of 5000 pounds. ,
"A gentlemanly appearing, plainly
Gttired man came into my shop one
morning and asked to see some solitaire
diamond rings. / waited on him, and
did so with great caution, yet tried to
AVOID giving ofTense. | placed before
him a tray containing forty rings, and
did not for a moment take my eyes
from his fingers, while he was EXAMINE
ing them. As is customary, the tray
was filled, so that a vacant place would
be readily noticed.
"My customer evidently knew the
merits of the stones, and vas able to Sc
lect the most valuable ones at sight. He
appeared to enjoy examining them, and
did SO in q deliberate manner that
aroused my suspicion. Finally, he APP
peared to be undecided as to one Of
three rings and ended by saying he
would cali the next day with his wife
and take one of them. This action,
made me the more suspicious, and L
was careful to see that all the rings
were in their places before he left the
shop. /;
"Whcn he did leave ] sent a clerk
after him, and we learned that he and
L., ,y,e, ,,n, Oh ,Y,n &C tho lnn1inn hn-
tells, registered from New York.
He returned with n the next
afternoon, and the tray of rings was!
put before them. They were both very.
deliberate, and examined every ring in.
the tray; but | took care not to have
more than two spaces vacant at q time
Finally, a ring, valued Mt 100 pounds,
was selected, and | was told TO mark ID
and send it with the bill to their hotels
| was about to suggest that l did not
like to mark the ring until it was paid
for, when the man handed me 10
pounds, which was more than enough
to indemnify me in case the ring was
not taken.
81 examined my tray very carefully
and found that it was full, with the ex-
ception of the space that had been oc-
cupied by the ring just sold. | felt re-
lieved, and congratulated myself on
having made a good sale. My GUS
toner gave instructions as to the mark
ing, and left the shop.
al handed the ring to our engraver to
be marked and proceeded to make a
bill to send with it to my customer.
Soon the engraver came excitedly to
my desk.
-'Do you know this ring is plated, and
the stone paste?' he asked.
81 was dazed for a second, and then I
saw it all. | hurried to the tray Of
rings and found every n of them like
the one the engrayer held. The man
had made an imitation of each ring, and
deliberately substituted the bogus for
the genuine ones, and thus robbed me
before my very eyes. / never Jaw the
thieves or the diamonds again"

Asks $4,000 of the County.

Sioux Falls, May 30.-Saturday aft
ernoon Attorney ii. II. Smith appeared
before the county commissioners Of
this county with a claim of $4,000.
For the loss Of the life of one Thomas
PARROT and another claim of $3.50 for
the loss of n team of horses belonging
TO said Smith.
This claim grows out Of a drowning
accident which happened last spring.
A party of men who work on Smiths
stock farm were driving home from
the city. On reaching Skunk creek,
about three miles from the city, il was
found that the water was over the APP
proaches to the bridge. An attempt
was made to cross the bridge. When
near the bridge the team, which was
made up Of colts, became frightened at
the fast running water and became
unmanageable. The horses crowded
off the approach into deep water and
drowned. In trying to save the horses
Ptrrott was also drowned. The com
m]issioners deny any responsibility and
Smith will bring suit to recover.

HARRISON MEETS LOUBET.
American Ex-Presidcnt and TrcncI

American ~EX-Prcsidcnt and French
Executive Have IA Friendly Chat.
Paris, May 3O.-Former President
Harrison, accompanied by General
Horace Porter, United States ambassa-
dor, Saturday had an interview last
ing twenty minutes with NJ. Delcasse,
minister of foreign affairs. The in
tcrview was of the most cordial char
acter.
In the afternoon Mr.. Harrison and
Mr.. Porter called upon President Lou
bet.
After a "cercmoniouS introduction
the former and the actual presidents
dropped all formality and ~convcrsed
i'm the most friendly manner upon top
les of interest to the two countries,
finally drifting to the general subject
of arbitration. Mr.. Harrison cV,
pressed the view that it was essential
i'm order to make the use Of arbitration
general, that the representative idea
should be eliminated from such tri.
bunals. In order that they should re.
tain Il purely judicial character every
member of arbitration tribunals
should, he thought, be absolutely in.
different to the individual interests Of
the parties in litigation.
In the course of an interview with
n representative of the Associated
Press, Mr.. Harrison said that PreSi-
