GREAT INTEREST
IN DREYFUS CASE
French People Are Preparing TO
Get Excited.
COMMISSION NOW AT WORK
CONCLUSIONS WILL BE SUB
MITTED THIS WEEK.

Paris, Nov. 3O.-The general belief
prevails in wen-informed circles that
the commission appointed to pronounce
upon the admissibfity Of the request Of
aired Dreyfus for a judicial revision
Of his case, VIII submit its conclusions
70 the minister of justice certainly
within q week, ard some persons say
before the end Of the present week. NJ.
Mercier a director of the ministry OF
justice and a member of the commits
sion, says the commission has not yet
assembled, and that ne has no knOwl-
edge Of the contents of the documents
TO be examined
"The committee" Mercier added,
proposes to take all the time necessary
20 deal with such an important qUes-
ton, but its conclusion win not be final
and may not be accepted by the min
lister of justice"
In this connection it is recalled that
the first consultation committee charged
to examine the petition presented by
Nine. Dreyfus in the name of her hUs-
band, then a prisoner at Devils island,
recommended against a revision, but
the minister of Justice Overruled this.
which is not considered a precedent for
Ike action in the, present development
by Minister Vale, who some time ago
went so far as to say that the policy Of
[
up and was favorable to Dreyfus what
ever the conclusions of the commission.
! though the officials expect them to sup
port the Dreyfus petition.
Two Points Under Review.
The commission will pass on two
potnts-the uses made Of the pretended
bordereau annotated by Emperor Will
ham or Germany and the alleged false
testimony Of CzernusH during the
courtmartial at Rennes.
Public interest has been aroused to a
nigh pitch by this latest phase of the
Dreyfus affair, which was relegated TO
second and third places, respectively.
by the Panama affair and the Humbert
inquiry. Some Of the sensational papers
connect the Humberts with Dreyfus, as
sorting that they used their influence
and money in his behalf in order that
the ministry might not be subjected to
the danger Of being shaken up.
In consequence Of the agitation fol-
lowing the action taken in the Dreyfus
affair, the government has allowed the
publication made at the last meeting of
the council by NJ Vale. the minister of
justice. The minister communicated TO
his colleagues the contents of the dos
sier and the result of the examination
made by War Minister Andre and him
self, adding:
You understand that I viii not con-
suit you, or solicit advice. I have sim
/ ply determined 70 inform you Of my
decision, which I have the right and
duty to take as minister Of justice, and
which I take on my own responsible
/ ity."
Deputy Congy Republican sOcialist)
today announced his intention to inter-
pellate the minister of war upon his
return to Paris, in regard to his action
in the Dreyfus case. but the ministry
replied that it had no intention of ar
guing the Interpolation until the com
mission had rendered its report.
