Seventy-two , I'aki.s (By Cable). The Court, of Cassation ha3 decided to grant a revis on. o; the Dreyfus case, and institute a f uri)1ementary inquiry. The court, however, has declined to order the re lease of Dreyfus. The judges of the coart were occupied three houra and a ;:i!f in considering the judgement. The public, whoso admission to the court v, as regulated witn the greatest care, awaited the decision with marked calm ness. During the suspension of busi ness the public crowded into the lob bies and there was evident anxiiety to hear the verdict. There was no de monstration when the court rose. I or the Confederate Veterans Reunion. At a special meeting of the city Youncil of Charleston, S. C, it was unanimously voted to devote the funds known as the Thomson bequest and now iti the treasury, to the erection of an auditorium building, to be used at the reunion of the Confederate veter ans, which is to be held there next Year. The sum thus appropriated umounts, all told, to $23, 000. V The city hod already donated 5,000 towards the erection of the auditorium, so the build ing should be a handsome one when completed. - - Hobson's Report. Constructor Hobson in his report Lefore the board of naval bureau chiefs, paid that in his opinion the Colon and Vizcaya could be raised and brought to drv docks at New York or Norfolk at a cost of $500,000 for one and $400,000 for the other. Mr. Hobson, also gave the bureau chiefs some information con cerning: the Reiua Mercedes and the Met rimac. The former could be easily raised, he believed, for it was apparent that she had been only scuttled. The Merriinac could be raised and he said she must be removed from the mouth of the harbor in someway. Now Arranging the Details.

Spain and the Philippines. Pakis, (By Cable). While the Span ish and American peace commissioners now stand upon the threshold of the Philippine question, it seems probable, in the light of this hour, that the United States will take over the entire archipelago. In 1897 Spain issued by royal deoree bonds in the sum of $40, 000,000, to which were pledged the re venues of the Philippines and to which the Spanish national guarantee was added.; These $40, 000, 000 represent tne Jr nilippine debt, which is entirely outside of the $700,000,000 of the so called Philippine and Spanish general debt. The conditions also differ, the Philippine debt having been created by royal decree because the archipelago was not a parliamentary colony, while the so-called Cuban debt was created by law. The difference raises the question bf the non-responsibility of tne Philippines when removed from the sovereignty under which its resources were pledged. Some well informed persons believe that Premier Sagasta has determined to be rid of the Philip pines, and would direct his commission to sign a treaty bv which tho United States should take the islands and as sume the $40,000,000 of debt. Governor Candler Inaugurated. Allen D. Candler was inaugurated Governor of Georgia at noon Saturday. In the course of his inaugural address Governor Candler said: "Not content with the extent of our magnificent na tional domain, we are reaching out, thousands of miles, for the islands of the sea, with their heterogeneous pop ulation, and there are those, in both political parties who would reverse the policy of more than a century and enter upon an extensive and expansive scheme of colonization, as have the monarchies of Europe, which will ne cessitate an immense standing army and a large and costly navy to be sup ported by taxes imposed upon the peo ple of the States. It will not do for us to wander too far into the realms of ex periment.. Five of the Alen Decline to Serve. A special from San Juan de Porto Rico, says: Political agitators continue their statements regarding the unpop ularity of- the re-appointment of the Munez cabinet. Ot the 24 ban Juau councilmen appointed by Gen. Brooke five have declined to accept the posi tions, stating that they will not serve under men who administered Spanish affairs. Senor Francisco del Yalle has been appointed mayor of San Juan, in succession to Senor Villamil, the late Spanish mayor. A Complete Evacuation Mav Follow. The Paris correspondent of The Lon don Sunday Special, says that the gen eral opinion is that Major Marchand's retirement from Fashoda will be fol lowed bv a complete evacuation of that place by the French. This change of policy is attributed to the disappointed hope yarding the action of Russia. Telegraphic Briefs. Col. George E. Warns died at his home in New York City of yellowfever. .He contracted the dreadful malady in Havana. Two thousand claims for pensions on account of the war with Spain have been filed up to date. Seventy of them are on account of victims of the JUaine explosion. Judee Simonton in unamoers at Char leston, S. C, has made his restraining order against the railroad commission of that State perpetual. The question involved was an effort by the railroad commission to compel the telegraph companies to pay the war tax on mes sages sent in that State.

Attempted to Escape Bat Was Captured With Blood Hounis. Charles D. Shaw, of Wilmington, aged 23 years, was shot and instantly killed by W. F. Moore, a white con vict. The shooting occurred near the convict camp, 15 miles south of Raleigh, on the Raleigh & Cape Fear Railroad. Moore who is 40 years old and from Lumberton, is serving a five-year term for stealing a mule. He is a dishonest fellow. He was what is improperly and in fact unlawfully known as a "trusty," and his work was done at night. Thus ne slept during, the day. He found means to take a shot-gun and a dozen cartridges, each loaded with 16 buck shot. He left the camp about 7 or S o'clock and followed a barbed wire fence a thousand feet, crossing aud re crossing it every 25 or 30 feet Then he retraced his steps nearly to the begin ning and made a dash through the woods in the direction of Lumberton. The roll was called, Moore was discov ered absent and seven guards and elev en bloodhounds went after him. When the dogs bayed him it was 11 o'clock. Despite his efforts to mislead the dogs by his manouvre at the wire fence and also by his use of iodoform to destroy his scent, they tracked him unerringly. When the dogs bayed him Moore got in the shadow of a pine near a fence. He opened fire on the guards, and shot G times. His last shot was at Guard Shaw, who was only 15 yards away, and 12 of the 15 buckshot struck in a space as large as one's hand, immediately over the heart. Death was instanta neous. A volley was fired at Moope. He had, after each one of his shots fallen to the ground. After his last shot he turned" to run, but fell and broke the stock of hi3 gun. His fall was the means of saving his life.for only one buckshot struck him. This wound is in the neck and is nob at all serious. There will be habeas corpus proceedings to take Moore from the custody of the penitentiary and put him in jail, so he can be tried for the murder and properly hanged. He is an utterly unconcerned criminal. The Governor Issues a Proclamation.

Courtesy and kindness have won many battles, and instnmvs r.ot wanting to shov how easily an eiiomy may be convened into a friend." A writer in LippiiK-ott.- Mag.iair:. tells how the utter absence of f.f;tr o:;-t saved a man's life.. in Many years ago!-' the late Doctor Shlppen, of Philadelphia, left h's house in the-early nu.rr.u' and was "hurrying down the street, when ln noticed a singular anil ferocious l ink ing man. whose gaze v.v.s fasten 'd upon him. With rr.stkiciive politeiuss Dr. Shippen smiled, raised his hat a:ul passed on. Then a shot was heard. Turning quicklj'. Doctor Shippen four.u th:t the stranger had ji:: h f t his hor.K' with the insane inteiitieii of killing tje first man he nut. Doctor Shippen was that tirst man; but his absolute fearlessness and constitutional as well as cultivated courtesy had put the man of his guard, and the next passer-by had caught tho bullet intended for him. That smile aud bow had saved his life. ' When the country was a century younger, a gentleman" -upon the fron tier was hunting with friends, when he became separated from' them and lost his way. Every effort to retrieve his steps led his still farther Into the wilderness, and night overtook him in a strange forest. Overcome with fatigue, he lay down under a tree and slept, in the morn ing he awoke with an indescribable feeling that some one was looking at him, and glancing up. saw that he was surrounded by' hostile Indians. The leader of the band, In war-paint and feathers, was bending over him in no amiable mood. The gentleman realized hi- dan.ircr, but had no means of averting It, not understanding a word of the Indians' language; but he was self-possessed, knew the universal language of na ture, and believed .that even under war-paint and feathers, Va man's a man for a' that." He fixed' his eye boldly upon the Indian and smiled. Gradually the fierceness passed away from the eye above "him, aud at last an answering smile came over the face. The white man was saved. The savage took him to his wigwam, and after a' few days restored him to his friends. Courage, self-command and tact had saved his life. When Herbert Spencer two years ago promulgated Ms theory that the world had made a great mistake in generally adopting the decimal system as applied to coinage and weight 3 and measures ad endeavored to convince his readers that a duodecimal system, reckoned by twelves, would be much simpler, people just listened and went their way. They felt that while phil osophers might multiply and divide by twelve easily enough common folk could ma'nage.it more easily with ten. Trofessor Benjamin Smith Lvman is not likely to receive any better treat ment. The Professor says the world would be brighter and better if the decimal system had never been in vented, and thinks avo ought to reckon by eights. The next man will probably say seven is the proper figure, that having for centuries been regarded as the lucki- number. Meantime rne decimal system goes, winning con verts. Tetter.
