FRENCH COURT ANNULS
The DREYfUS VERDICT

Paris, July 14.-Alfred Dreyfus has
been completely acquitted of the
charges on which he was at one time
condemnded as traitor, dismissed
from the service and imprisoned at
DEVILS island, and regarding which
France has been torn for years by the
most bitter political and racial agita-
ton.
His vindication was twofold, the
supreme court first announcing its de.
cision and the ministry later deciding
to present in parliament an urgent bill
restoring Dreyfus to the army with
advanced rank and otherwise giving
the government most ample repara-
ton.
The decision of the court was a
foregone conclusion, as exhaustive in
quiries had completely demolished the
fabric of the accusation against Drey-
fus, showing that the real culprit was
Major Count Esterhazy. The deci-
sion therefore annulled the condemna.
tion of the Rennes courtmartial and
ordered that the acquittal be posted
and published throughout France.
Name Goes to Legion of Honor
The ministers later held a prolonged
specila session at the palace under
President Fallieres. and determined
on the governments course in carry
ing out the decision. The texts of the
two bills were formulated which will
be at once introduced in the chamber
of deputies, concerning respectively
Dreyfus and Piquart, with the object
of restoring both to the ranks they
would have had if they had continu-
ously served in the army.
Dreyfus will consequently be nomi-
mated a major with eventul early pro-
motion to a lieutenant colonelship.
Piquart will Immediately become a
brigadier general.
Dreyfus name also will be inscribed
on the list of the Legion of Honor,
but he will not be directly nominated

decree placing him on the list will
shortly appear

ADMIRAL ROJES1VENSkY
DECLARED NOT GUILTY

Cronstadt, Russia, July 1l.-Admi-
raj Rojestvensky, whose trial on the
charge Of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
began before courtmartial here July
4, has been acquitted after a deliber-
alton by the court Of ten hours. -Four
officers of the torpedo boat destroyer
Bedovi who we're placed on trial with
the admiral were found guilty of hav-
ing premeditatively surrendered the
Bedoiv, and all four we're condemned
to death by shooting. But on account
of extenuating circumstances the en-
peror will be requested to commute
the sentences of the four officers to
dismissal from the service and to be
deprived Of certain rights which they
would otherwise enjoy.
st. Petersburg, July 1.-The full
report of the Rojestvensky courtmar-
tial shows that the admiral was &C.
quilted on the ground that he was not
in his full senses, and therefore was
not accountable for what transpired
at the time of surrender.

May GO TO SPOKANE
J. J. HILL TALKS OF PORTLAND
& SEATTLE ROAD.
Now Considering an Extension
to Inland Empire Metropolis.
Portland & Seattle to Be Best
New Road Ever Built in the
United States.

Portland, July Thames J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern,
reached Portland late last night on
the steamer Capital City from The
Dalles. With him are Lewis N. Hill,
vice president of the Great Northern !;
Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific; w. l.. Darling,
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific I;
A. II. Hogeland, chief engineer of the
Great Northern, all of st. Paul; G.
M. Levey, president Of the Portland e.
Seattle; b. 4. Palmer, assistant gen.
eral superintendent of the Northern
Pacific. of Tacoma, and Cory T. Hutch
inson. an electrical engineer from
New York.
The party came by special train
from st. Paul over the Northern Pa
cific to The Dalles, where the Capital
City, which is the property of the
Portland & Seattle railway, was placed
at the disposal of the officials. From
its deck, the heads of the Hill system
carefully watched the work in prog
ress along the north bank of the Co.
lubmia and the boat steamed along
close to the Washington shore to per
nit OF close observation. The train
came on to Portland over the o. X.
d N, and this morning carried the
party out to Seattle, and the return
trip. will be made over the Great
Northern.
Says Country Looks Well
Everything looks we'll out here"
said Mr.. Hill at the Portland last
night, where he occupied the "royal
suite.''
1.-THE crops seem to be large and ev.
erything has a prosperous appearance.
The land here, when the timber is
gone, has the advantage over most
land in a country where it is timbered
because when the timber is cut off the
land is good for all sorts of agriculture
and fruit"
In speaking of the new road down
the north bank, Mr.. Hill said
ut is likely the Portland e. Seattle
will be extended to Spokane. We can
not say definitely, but there are sur.
veyors in the field and if we can get a
low grade, we will no doubt build.
1--WE could use the Northern Pacific
line from Pasco, but it is expected
that the line will extend from Port.
land to Spokane. The Portland &
Seattle railway will be the best new
road that was ever built in the United
States"
When asked whether the new road
from Portland to the Sound would be
operated by electricity, he said he is
not yet sure.
"For part of the way at least, it
will probably be electric" said he.
81 brought an electrical engineer along
on this trip to look the situation over.
Mr.. Hutchinson is interested in the
electrical problems in this country.
We are considering the identification
of the Cascade tunnel"
