Paris, July 12.-AIfred Dreyfus was today completely acquitted of the charges on which he was condemned as a traitor, dismissed from the army and imprisoned on Devils Island, and regarding which France has been torn for years by the most bitter pontical and racial agitation. His vindication is two-fold the supreme court first announcing its decision establishing the entire innocence of the accused man and the ministry later deciding to present an urgent bill in parliament restoring Dreyfus to the army with advanced rank and otherwise giving the governments most ample repara- tion.
 The decision of the court was a fore gone conclusion as exhaustive inquiries had completely demolished the fabric of the accusation against Dreyfus. showing that the real culprit was Maj. Count Esterhazy. The decision tnere- fore annulled the condemnation of the Rennes court martial and ordered that the acquittal be posted and published throughout France.
 Tonight the ministers held a pro- tracted special session at the Elysee Palace under President Fallieries and determined on the governments course in carrying out the decision. The sext of the two bills when formulated,

 Dreyfus was consequently nominated a major with eventual early promotion
 to a lieutenant colonelship. Picquart will immediately become a brigadier general Dreyfus' name will also be inscribed on the list for Legion of Honor, but he will not be directly nominated to that distinction, though probably a decree placing him on the list will shortly appear.
 Discussions of the bills will be talk en up immediately and the ministers will endeavor to have them pass both houses in the course of the day, the cabinet desiring to settle the matter before the parliamentary vacation In order to avoid a recurrence of the agi- tatiOn in the country.

DIVORCE CASE
 BOMB STRUCK
By Change in Mrs. Hartje' s
 Evidence
The Bottom of the Plain tiff's Damaging Evidence Receives a Jar.

Pittsburg. July 12.-Mary Scott Hartje. who is contesting the suit for divorce brought by her husband, Au- gustus Hartje, the millionaire paper manufacturer was the startling wit ness when the case was taken up to- day after q weeks adjournment to all low counsel for both sides to examine the handwriting, with experts, in let ters that Mrs. Hartje is alleged to have written and which figure prominently in the case.
 Mrs. Hartje threw the counsel for her husband into somewhat of a dis concerted attitude when she fiatly con- tradicted her testimony of last week and declared that she never wrote the Susie Wagner letter, known as exhibit No. 6. This lette is one of the standards" in the case and formed a large part of the premise in the case, from which the handwriting experts for her husband argued that she wrote the famous forty letters alleged to have been written by her to Tom Nadine the coachman correspondent in the case.
 The sensation thus produced was further heightened when David N. CarvalhO, the handwriting expert. was called for Mrs. Hartje and declared on the stand lnaL the torn and muJlldUeQ exhibit No. 8. on which the case Is in part based was a forged and mutt lated document" He said he had noted three distinct handwritings in the ex- hib.ts.
 MT. Hartje's lawyers asked for an adjournment, that they might deter
 mine their course. An adjournment
 was refused, but a recess was taken When the case was resumed, at 2 o'clock, Carvalho went on the stand
 and reiterated his testimony. Dr. Mar l shall D. Ewelt the Chicago writing ex- pert, followed CarvalhO on the stand and corroborated him. Both said the | letters they had examined were in the i same handwriting as the Wagner let
 ter. Court adjourned for the day witt ! Mir. Ewelt on the stand.
 | Both Carvalho and EweIt will bt
 called to the stand again tomorrow
 when the court resumes and each O

CONSERVATISM
 BRYAN'S IDEA
Is a ReVdmping of Old
 Principles
His Attitude to Nothing Has Been Unchanged by Extensive Wandering.

London, July 12.-William J. Bryan. having had the opportunity of reading American newspapers. consented today to discuss some of the questions which have been raised since he has again become prominent as a presidential possibility.
 He said: 'I notice that I am de- scribed by some as a conservative. and in order that there may be no misuu- derstanding on that subject. permit me 10 say that in one sense l always have been conservative. The democratic policies are conservative in that they embody old principles applied to new conditions. There was nothing new iu principle in either Of the platforms on which I stood
 We were accused of attacking property, when in fact the democratic party is the defender of property. be- cause t endeavOrs to draw the line be- tween honest and accumulation by hon est methods on the one side and pred atory wealth and immoral methods on
 the other. It is to the interest of every honest man that dishonesty should be exposed and punished: otherwise the ! deserving are apt to suffer for the uu- ! deserving. However. fl by the word : conservative they mean that I have l changed my position on any public question or moderated my opposition
 to corporate ggrandizement, they have a surprise waiting for them. I am more radical than I was in 1896 and have nothing to withdraw on the economical l questions which have been under dis cussion.''

 OF TENNESSEE
Nominate Il. C. Evans for
 Governor

 Natural Consequence.

Nashville, July 12.-Henry Clary Evans. of Hamilton county, former commissioner of pensions and recently American consul general at London. was tonight nominated for governor by the republican state convention. D. C. Swab, of Claiborne county, was nominated for railroad commissioner.
 The nomination of Evans for gov ernor came after a most exciting ses- sion and marks the transfer of repub- lican leadership in Tennessee from Congressman Walter P. BrownIow, of the first district, to MT. Evans. liar mony was indicated this morning, when MT. Brownlow declared he would not oppose the Evans candidate for permanent chairman and the tempora- ry organization with T. Asbury Wright presiding, was quickly effected.
 Then came long waits for the com mittee on credentials and tonight the storm broke. over its report There was a division over some of the con- tested counties and the attempt of each faction to seat it's choice soon changed the convention into a bowling mob. Delegates crowded the speakers s stand, ran over the press tables and 1 threatened to engage in fist fights.
 Quiet finally being restored, the Evans report as a whole was at length adopted. on motion of a Brownlow man. the result arousing a wild demon stration. Then the report of the com mittee on permanent organization, naming Congressman Nathan Hale for chairman was adopted and the remain ing business of the convention quickly and tremendously dispatched MT Evans appearance before the conven- tion was the signal for frenzied dem onStTatiOn.
