DREyFUS GAINS GREAT POINT.
jselcisi Exsmisation TO Be Made Of Famous
Case.

Paris by Cable).-The efforts OF
Alfred Dreyius to secure judicial cx-
animation OF his case have at last been
crowned with success. After cxamin-
ing the dossier in the case submitted
TO him by General Andre, the minister
Of war, Minister OF Justice Vale has
transmitted that document, together
with the petition OF Dreyfus, for re-
vision OF his sentence to M. Durand,
the president OF a commission insti.
fuied by the Ministry OF Justice. This
commission will pronounce upon the
EdnTissibility OF the request for a revi-
sion OF sentence.
M. Dreyfus owes the favorable ac-
tion taken to the careful consideration
given the case by Minister Andre,
whose conclusions are regarded as in
the highest degree favorable to Drey-
tus, since they determined the Minis
ser OF Justice to refer the question OF
revision to commission.
Nothing has yet transpired to indi-
cate that General Andre has discov-
cred documents OF doubtful authentic
ity, or that there was maneuvering on
the part OF the ministry OF war during
the Dreyius trial to conceal important
facts. though assertions to this effect
have been made. 1t is stated that NJ
Gribelin, formerly principal keeper OF
The records OF the headquarters staff,
has made important revelations. The
commission will receive the documents
next Wednesday.

The Governor says during the last

condition and so arc those OF the coun-

caused by loose methods many years
ago, and the results OF which methods
the counties affected are making every
effort to overcome. The territory, as
we'll as most OF the counties, is reduc-
ing its Indebtedness, while several
counties are reiunding their indebted
ness at lower rate OF interest.
The assessed valuation OF New Mex
leo shows an increase OF about 81 ,ooo,-
600 over that OF the preceding year,
but as the average assessment rate IS
only about 20 per cent. OF the real
value, the actual increase OF taxable
valuation, owing to the elimination OF
double assessments, reported i'll former
years, is almost $3,oooooo. Tax collcc-
tions for the last six months by the
territory exceeded those OF the same
period OF the previous year by about
$4,000
