NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. 9.-James B..
Eustis, ambassador to France during
the second Cleveland administration
and formerly a Senator from Louisiana,
died at his summer home in this city
at o'clock tonight of pneumonia. Mr..
Eustis was taken ill on Wednesday,
but the local physician thought the
trouble to be heart failure.
The patient grew worse on Thursday,
developing symptoms of pneumonia,
and on Friday there was consultation
of physicians, who stated that there
was scarcely any hope of recovery. Inc
end came tonight very peacefully. MI.
Eustis' son, James b. Eustis Jr., and
his daughter, Miss Celeste Eustls, were
at the bedside.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral, but it is thought the
body will be taken to Louisiana.
Mr.. Eustis came to his summer home
on Claiming avenue, as was his GUS
tom, early in July, intending to re-
main until autumn. All the early part
of the summer he was in excellent
health. devoting many hours to a crit
ical review of the Dreyfus case, in
which was embodied much valuable
material gathered during his official
residence in France. The extreme heat
prostrated Mr. Eustis and at the time
it was attributed in part TO overwork
AS he had never been troubled with
his heart, no special anxiety was felt
at the prostration, and later he SEEM
ingly recovered his strength and Vigor.
1t was not until the recurrence of the
trouble the past week that his illness
was looked upon in serious light and
then il was diagnosed as secondary
pneumonia. From the rapidity with
which dissolution came it is evident

the earlier attack.
James Biddle Eustis, lawyer, soldier
and statesman, came of an old New Or
leans family, than which none stood
higher in Louisiana, socially or finan-
cially Leaving Harvard law school
he went directly to his fathers office in
New Orleans and became an immediate
success. Possessed of remarkab BILE in
tellectual powers, his legal learning, to
which he was constantly adding, his
ambitious industry and his wit, elo
uuence and delightful manners gave
him an Independent position while he
was still very young. With the break
ing out of the Civil War young Eustis
volunteered as aid de camp on the staff
of General Magruder and was with him
until the general was relieved after the
slaughter at Malvern Hill.
Mr. Eustis took part in various enter
prises and especially distinguished him
self at the battle of Galveston. Toward
the close of the war he went on the
staff of General Joseph E. Johnston,
remaining with him until he received
his parole, signed by General Schofield.
After the war Mr.. Eustis went back
to his professional work. Always a
lover of books, he took his recreation
in his library, among other things
translating Guizot's History of Civili-
zation' into English.
He yielded to an invitation to go into
politics as a member of the Legislature.
and in that capacity was appointed
member and afterward spokesman of a
committee of three sent to Washington
to try to arrange for the reconstruction
Of Louisiana. His varied labors break

DREYFUS CASE PROTEST
FRENCH DEPUTIES WARN THE Gov
ERNMENT IN OPEN LETTER.
They Assert that the Proposed step
Would Lead to Civil DiscOrd.

PARIS, Feb. ga score of deputies, in
Guiding MN. Brisson, Bourgeois, Barthou,
Sarrien, Poincare, Pelletan and Millerand,
have addressed an open letter to the govern
ment, declaring their intention to uphold
the supreme principles of justice as above
all attack. The manifesto asserts that
there is no necessity to deprive the criminal
chamber of the Court of Cessation of the
right of rendering judgment in the Dreyfus
case. NJ. Lebret minister of justice) has
testified say those distinguished men,
bers of the chamber, "to the honesty of the
judges and if the court is disqualified it will
mean the triumph of calumny. The hon
esty of the whole Court of Cessation viii in
turn be questioned and the highest jurisdic-
ton of the country will thus be placed by
the executive power at the mercy of
defamation
In concluding the manifesto its signers
say: 1.-THE law proposed by the government
is not a law of appeasement but law of
civil discord, threatening the liberty, the
honor and security of the citizen at a juno
ture when the union of all republicans is
required to defeat a combination OF clerical
reaction and Caesarian demagogy pre-
pairing for a third assault upon the re-
public"
This step indicates the growing opposi-
ton to the revision BILL which, even if it
survives in the Chamber of Deputies, is al
most certain to be rejected by the Senate,
largely recruited from the magistrature and
strongly opposed to such changes of pro-
cedure as the bill contemplates.
The publication of the text of the revision
committees voluminous report and of the
Mazeau dossier serves to emphasize the hol-
lowness, not to use a harsner word, of the
charges of Quesnay de Beaurepaire against
the criminal chamber 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that man who was president of a
section of the court could have brought
such reckless accusations against the judges
of another section, and it is still more diff
ficult to explain how the government could
have been induced by such trivial charges
to introduce the revision bill, unless it was
riding for a fall. The general belief is that
nothing now can save the Dupuy Cabinet.
In any event, to-morrow's debate in the
Chamber of Deputies is expected to be a
very stormy one.
