APPEAL OF DREYFUS
BELIEVED HE WILL OBTAIN A
 REVISION.
Said to Be No Real Proof, Material or Moral, Existing Against
 the Ex-Captain of French Artillery.

Paris, Dec. 1.-France is looking for. ward with the gravest interest to the meeting tomorrow of the commission which will advise Minister of Justice Vale on thes question whether he shall or shall not grant Dreyfus's appeal for the revision of the sentence of the court martial at Rennes
 Though a revision Is foreshadowed by the consideration given to Dreyfus's pe- ttion. the reappearance of the affair bids fair to arouse a feeling even stronger than the excitement which prevailed while the former captain of artillery was undergoing trial and while he was imprisoned on Devils Island.
 The Government believes the commls- sion will advise a revision and is pre- pared to submit the case to the Court of Cessation. which can recommend 1t to the Court of War, but which, it is be- lieved, will itself render a decision.
 The latter course, M. Clemenceau and others regard as contrary to the law.
 A semi-ministerial publication gives q statement showing the reason which in- duced General Andre to favor a revision as the result of his investigation extend. ing over five months, during which time a number of persons were examined.
 It was said that several witnesses testi- lied falsely before the court which tried Dreyfus. The statement ends as fol- lows: Finally. an exceptionally impor- tant fact developed. It Is that there is no real proof, material or moral, exist ing against the former captain, and all the presumptions of guilt against Major Esterhazy were found. on the other hand, to be justified"

TaE SENATE.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The major part of the time of today's legislative session of the Senate was devoted to a discussion of the scope and character of the agree- ment with reference to the time of talk ing. vote upon the Cuban reciprocity bill.
 Some of the Senators on the Democratic side objected when Senator Lodge sought to have the Senate take up routine busi- ness which had been reported to the Senae and the objection brought out the fact that a number construed the az ee- ment to vote upon the Cuban bill and to consider it each day until voted upon as exclusive of all other business until that bill should be disposed if Senator Bacon advanced that idea and was supported by some of the other Sem ators. but Senators Lodge, Allison, Hale. Cuiiom and others. anta gonised this con- struction, contending that the agreement could not have the effect of shutting out routine business. This construction pre- vailed in the end and the routine busi. ness was proceeded with.

HEREsY IS ALLEGED.
Professor H. D. Downe Accused b Rev. e. A. Cooke.

Professor B. D. Bowne Accused by Rev. c. A. Cooke.
 Boston, Dec. 1.-Papers have been serv- ed upon Professor Borden D. Bowne of Boston University, calling him to trial be- fore the ecclesiastical court of the Motho- dist Episcopal Church to answer Q the general charge of heresy. e
 Rev. George A., Cooke, pastor Trinity Methodist Church, West Medford. and a member of the New England conference is the former accuser of Prof. Bowne.
 Professor Bowne is widely snow1 as a writer on philosophy and his recent state- ments concerning the Bible and :eiigious subjects have attracted much sttcntion. Mir. Cooke is the author of pamphlet issued several months ago and circulated throughout the Methodist Church. which criticizes Professor Bowne's teaching.
 The first specification against Professor Bowne is that the philosophers views concerning the Deity are contrary 10 the plain teachings of the Scriptures: the and authority of the Holy Scriptures gre also contrary to those Scriptu. es; the third, that his notion of the 1tonemcnt is contrary not only to the Scrips1r ss, but also to the ritual of the Lords srrper in the discipline of the church. The fourth charge refers to his teachings of cschsto- logy, which it is dscialed are directly contrary to the Scriptures and tne Metno- dist standards of faith.
 The last statement is that Professor Bowne disseminates views of. Christian experience contrary to the plain teach ing of the Hoiy Scriptures and contrary to the established doctrines O the Methodist Episcopal Church.'

 Speaking of the action of the Senate in connection with the Cuban Dill. Mir. Gros- venor said that the Senate reported the bill back and 1t was assumed that they wanted to stay here for some purpose. so they did not offer any resolution to ad- journ.
 .It would have been almost m insult for the House to have offered one" he said. What right have we to assume that the Senate of the United States would stop, would balk and refuse to go, I might say, in the language of the plalns they never had done such a ching before and they had not done so now.'
 There ts some reason, but 1t is wise one for 1t comes from the greatest par liamentery body on earth and greater than any in Heaven. So now are we waiting for what? For the Senate to say to us that they are through with that bill for the present and want to adjorrn. We cannot slap the Senate in the face by adopting a resolution that we want to adjourn when they are under the same call that we are and have not do,ie what we have done-dlscharged our duty. I assume that they are waiting Co consider more fully the character of that legisla- ton. They know but little about 1t. It just came from the House; they had it but few days. It is true that oficiaiiy we know that they baked on the whole business and will be ready st scme future time-no doubt some time during the present week-to pass that bill unless they send us word that they want to ad- journ.

 At 10:18 the House adjourned.

Yet George Turner Was Never Drunk
 in His TAfa


 New York, Dec. 1.-That a man who was never intoxicated in his life and whose only indulgence was a moderate drink of whislxey in the morning and another before retiring at night. may die from alcoholism has been demonstrated by an autopsy made at Bellevue Hospital in the case of George Turner.
 To his wife. with whom he had lived happily for fourteen years and to his friends. Turner was known as a man of extremely temperate habits. He was sud- denly stricken after a surgical operation, was carried to the hospital and dIed in the alcoholic ward from what the doctors declared was delirium tremens. Mrs. Turner declared the doctors had blunder- ed and demanded an inves tigation.
 After the autopsy and statements from attendants the coroner's physician de- clared Turner's death was due to Ire fined alcoholism" He said that the victim had been suffering from chronic meningitis and softening of the brain with other maladies of lesser nature.
