DREYFUS GIVEN
A FINAL CHANCE
Supplementary Investigation
Comes Next.
THEN TRIAL BY CIVIL COURT
ALLEGED BITTER REMARK OF M
LABoRL

Paris, March 5.-The criminal branch
Of the court of cessation today granted
the appeal of Alfred Dreyfus for re-
vision of his trial at Rennes. The court
held that a sufficient showing had been
made to warrant a reopening of the
case. and ordered a supplements ry in
VestiSatiOn for the purpose of estab-
iishing all the doubtful points which
nave been the basis for the present an
pncation TO reopen the case.
Inc decision is another marked sue
cess FOR Dreyfus. although fl is not
yet hnal, owing to the extended supple
inehtary investigation which must fol-
low the courts decision.
Little Interest Taken.
The decision was given at the close of
the third days hearing. Comparatively
niue public interest has been taken in
the sessions of the court and the court
room was almost deserted, there being
less than fifty persons present at the
final session. Among those were Maitre
Labor, the famous lawyer who defend
ed Dreyfus at Rennes.
Most OF the day was given to the ad-
dfess OF Maitre Mornard, one of Drey-
rus counsel. He argued that the charge
made against Dreyfus is a tissue of in
NehliOn. he closed with an eloquent
appeal, saying the honor of the army
and its officers demanded the removal
OF the stain Of this unjust conviction.
Labori Has Doubts.
An incident occurred during NJ. Nor
nard's address. Counsel referred to
Dreyfus' great qualities of heart and
exalted character and turned toward
M Labori as IL making a personal ap-
peal to have his statements confirmed.
Thereupon NJ Labor arose and left the
court room, causing some cOmmotion.
NJ. Labori was quoted as saying in
the corridor that he did not wish by
his presence to confirm the eulOgy pro-
nounced upon his former clients heart
and character.
Following NJ. Mornard's address the
court retired, remained closeted for an
hour and then returned and gave out
the decision sustaining the appeal for a
, revision of the trial and ordering a
supplementary investigation This de-
cision from the highest tribunal in
France goes a long way toward the
complete rehabilitation of Dreyfus. the
subsequent steps being generally re-
garded as formalities for carrying out
this favorable attitude of the court.

ton win be held here Monday, April
Is This was the unanimous decision
OF the Democratic state COMMITTEES,
which met today. The real result was
arrived at before the committee met.

1t was believed that some acrimony
would result at the meeting over the
selection of the place and time. it be-
ing known that Tammany desired to
have it held in New York. but Senator
Hill acceded TO Mr.. Murphy's request
TO set the date for the 18th instead of
the 18th. and Mr.. Murphy. finding that
Mr. Hill controlled a majority of the
committee. acquieSced in the selection
of Albany, 50 that there was no friction
over the matter in open committee.
1t is understood that the Kings county
delegation would have voted with the up
state delegates as against TammanN on
this single proposition had the question
been put to a vote, thus giving Mr.. Till
about thirty votes out of total OF fifty.
There was an undercurrent Of friction
between the two factions, and this found
vent aIterWard in statement prepared
at the request of Mr. Murphy after the
adjournment of the committee. This
reads:
Mi PAJ Ske-AGA-ACA4l-
1T was hoped that the meeting of the
state committee would be the occasion
for a demonstration of Democratic har-
mony which would be an earnest inten-
ton of the Democrats of the state TO bury
all past facti0nal differences and present
an united front in the battle of this year,
the first skirmish of which was won last
year IN the city of New York. The firss
indication of any breach IN the harmony
was afforded when the intima ton was
conveyed that the state committee would
be asked at its meeting to pass Tesolu-
tons, If not of endorsement. at last Of

The statement points out that the queS-
ton of the date and place Of the con-
Nenuon was more matter of the con-
venience of the delegates than Of i'm
portance in itself. and concludes:
This would seem TO be the year when
Democratic success in state and nation
IS entirely dependent upon the measure Of
Democratic harmony, and when the CUES
might well await a favorable verdict OF
the people upon our candidates and pol
icies. which can only be averted by our
pickering"

CHINA NOT TO BLAME.
Brigands Taking Advantage of Rus
so-Japanese War.

Paris. March 5.-The official view here
does not share that which is said to
prevail at Washington. and in Berlin
that the threatening anti Russian atti-
tude Of the Chinese generals, Ma and
Yuan Shi Kai, the commander in chief
may lead to a breach of China's neu-
trality and compel France TO take ac-
ton in behalf of Russia. Reports re-
ceived here confirm those which have
reached Washington and other capt.
tals-that the Chinese troops are show
ing much activity in northern China
and along the Manchurian border. They
also indicate that bands of Chinese bri-
gands are taking advantage of the OPP
pOrtunity to resume their depredations
ard raids through Manchuria, but the
officials here say it is a mistake to con-
meet such action OF Irregular Chinese
forces with the actions of the Chinese
government. The reports received here
show that irregular actions by various
branches of the Chinese army are like
~ To be unfavorable to Russia anG
favorable te Japan. but the French
government viii not consider such ir-
regular military excursions as placing
the Chinese government in a state Of
war against Russia.
