Paris, April 7.--It seems that the do- pate m the Chamber of Deputies yestsr- oay and today which resulted by a vote of Sl 70 z2 in the invalidation of the elec- uon Of the Nationalist Deputy syveton is likely also to lead to the reopening of the Dreyfus case and perhaps to the ro- mobilization of the former prisoner cx Devils Island. This is mainly dus 4o two facts brought out by the Sociali6k leader. M. Jaures. in the course of the debate. One is a falsified document benr- ing alleged annotations by the German Emperor which were forgeries and which helped to convict Dreyfus and the other IS that the letter written by 0enerai Pei. lieux to M. cavaisnas. when the iatter was War Minister in 1888, was supp<essed. This letter was written just after the discovery of Colonel Henry's forxsries. and reads as follows:
 "Duped by men without honor, unabis any longer to count on the confidence or my subordfnates without which 1t fs ffa- possible to command and on my side bo- ing unable to feel confidence iii tiiose of my chiefs who have made me work with forgeries. ask to be retired"
 M. Jaures in his speech in the Chamber today constantly lashed the Nationalistn to the highest pitch of fury, the Cham Der resounding with cries of ''traitor.ss Y liar" Ego to Berlin." and other shouts. drowning the speakers voice. M. Jaures finally concluded with the assertion that the republicans have the right to cor- demn this ,abominal campaign against tho republic and demonstrate to the declinine Nationalist party that it's attitude todar cannot excuse its evil deeds of yesterday. If the chamber tolerates 1t 1t win be q stigma on our conscience and the shame of our regime" xh s "Traitor'f and ALiar.n
 M. Jaures had hardly left the trfbssns before War Minister Andre plunged into the midst of the bitter. angry debate and announcing that the government wns ready to open an administrative inquiry and i'd in the widest investigation of the truth regarding the Dreyfus case Gen eral Andre declared that the honor of the army was not involved but that the con- science of the country was greatly dis quieted by the appearance of extenuat- ing circumstances in the Judgment on a crime of the nature of which Dreyfus was accused. He said he did not wish to take sides and was ready to proceed with an investigation and he would seek the assistance of magistrates in the exami- nation of the dossiers.
 The remainder of the debate was main ly taken up by former Minister of War Cayalgnac who attempted to explain the suppression of General Psllieux's letter. This gave the Socialists an opportunity of which they fully availed themselves. to adopt the tactics of the NationaIists and drown the speakers voice.
 After the invalidation of M. syveton'm election had been voted. the debate waa continued on the various orders of the day which were postponed. Finally one was adopted by 25o to B declaring con- f1dence in the government and the deter- mination of the chamber not to allow the Dreyfus case to pass from the tudi- ciai domain. The chamber then adjourned after sitting until 1o:3o p. n-
 The vote was a great triumph for Ms Jaures.
