One Man Oifers to Murder Him â€" Editorial Vituperation. Paris, June 8.â€"Whether yesterday‘s attempt upon the life of Major Alfred Dreyfus at the time of the canonizing of Emile Zola in the Pantheon was only the individual act of a man believing himself to be an outraged patriot or had behind it an incipient nationalist plot, the Republican press are unanimous in deploring the ingident, and believes it inâ€" jured, rather than aided, that cause. Even tnose papers which doubted the wisdom of burying Zola in the Pantheon think that the shooting of Major Dreyâ€" fus consolidated the Republican sentiâ€" ment, and they evidently desire to see the incident ended as early as possible. Any attempt to reoper the old Dreyfus issue at the trial of Louis Gregori, the man who shot at the major yesterday, they point out, can easily be frustrated as being plainly extraneous. (m the other hand, the fury of the Naâ€" tionalist papers is unbourded. L‘Action Francaise fires a broadside, which recalls the most excitimgsdays of Dreyfus and Boulanger. At the head of its columns this newspaper prints a statement . by Charles Maurras which, it is likely, the authorities will investigate, In this artiâ€" cle the writer says that on Wednesday night "a resolute patriot visited M. Dauâ€" det and Lieut. Boisfleury, and himself offered to kill Dreyfus, but his proposal was rejected." A leading editorial in this paper appeals to the country to turn to the Duke of Orleans for redress, and concludes with these words, "Do you desire that Zola‘s body be ejected from the Pantheon?* Do you desire to march Drevius to ithe exeeution block? If so, With regard to the reasons for Greâ€" gori‘s act, the opinion prevails in Paris that there is much truth in his avowal that he was driven to the deed by the appeals to hatred with which the antiâ€" Semitic papers have been filled since the Government resolved to place the body of Zola in the Pantheon, _ The state of this feeling can be gauged by an interview with Henri Rochefort, edâ€" itor the the Patrie, which is published toâ€"night, and in which he says: "It would have been a glorious death for Dreyfus. It would have been his first ind only time under fire." Action Saved Life, It was definitely established at the reâ€"construction this afternoon of the scene in the Pantheon that Gregori fired the first shot from behind Dreyâ€" fus, the ball penetrating the sleeve of is coat and burying itself in a flower pot at the base of the catafalque. When Dreytus wheeled at the sound of the detonation he threw up his left arm over his heart The second shot was {ired point blank at his breast, the bulâ€" iet entering the wrist and ranging upâ€" ward. It was located this afternoon by means of a radioscope, but was not exâ€" tracted. The paper also republishes a number of London reviews of the Dreyfus case, insisting that he is a traitor,. The deciâ€" sion of the Court of Cassation to cut off the time for an appeal, the paper says, is illegal, and it concludes its article as follows: "What we ask for Drevfus is not six invoke our king "What we ask for Dreyfus is not six balls from a revolver, but the twelve bullets from the exeeution squad." Other newspapers declare that Gregâ€" ori, much, grieved at the recent death of his mother, has lately manifested signs of mental derangement. Mathieu Dreyius, the brother of Major Dreyfus, who sprang forward to save him, chivalrously protected Giregâ€" ori from the crowd which was raining blows with canes and umbrelias on the man, shouting: "It is not for us to punish; let the law take its course." Wouldâ€"be Assassin Talks, Gregori made a statement to the po lice directly after his arrest, and dur ing a second interrogatory toâ€"night h. said: "1 did not wish to kill Dreyius. _ It is true I aimed at him, but 1 only wanted to graze him, _ My object was to protest against the participation of the army in the gloritication of Zola and the rehabilitation of Dreyfus. My blow was aimed less at Dreyfus than at Dreyfusism." In describing the scene before the magistrate, Mathieu Dreyfus said that at the sound of the first shot he shouted at (Gregori, asking if the reâ€" volver was loaded. _ Gregori replied in the negative, as he pressed the trigger a sccond time, Other witnesses testified that they notie«d Gregori‘s suspicious movements as he pressed forward in the throng. He was fumbling in his coat pocket, and as Dreyfus passud he ducked Ixâ€" tween the ilegs of the bystanders and arose and fired at the major‘s back, During the course of the day the poâ€" lice made several hurdred arrests, but no serious importance is attached to these, as the prisoners are mostly students and rowdies who took part in munerous street brawls, Bullet Not Taken Out. (Gregori‘s sister is unable to account for his act, except that he was carried away by indignation at the idea that the army, to which he has devoted his life and which he so passionately loved, should salute with its flags the author of "Al Debacle." She said her brother latterly had displayed _ symptoms _ of melancholy. The authorities are pursu« mg their investigation with a view to determining whether or now there is a plot behind the attempt of yesterday. ‘This morping Gregori was taken to his apartment, and was present when the police made a thorough search of his rooms for possible incriminating docuâ€" ments.

London, June 8.â€"Continuing the deâ€" bate over King Edward‘s proposed visit to Russia, the Laborâ€"Socialists suggested that the visit had been engineered by Mussia, with the view of rehabilitating her credit, and John G. 8. Macaeiuli, Naâ€" tionalist, joined in the debate. _ Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary, on beâ€" haif of the Government deprecared the tone and the temper of this attack. He declared that the evidence proved clearâ€" ly that the system of Government in mussia had apparently bettered during the last two years, and such an atâ€" tempt to exert pressure as suggested wouid hinder this constitutional proâ€" gress instead of helping it. He then imnvited the House to consider what the resentment would bave been in Great Britain had the Emperor of Russia deâ€" clined to visit this country until a full seiiâ€"goverywent had been granted the Transvaal, _ The Government had adâ€" vised the Ning to pay this visit, whicn, according to its information, would be welcomed by all the moderate and liberâ€" al citizens of Russia, sir: bdward Grey then repeated that no negotiations were on foot for a ne w treul{l or convention â€" with Rusâ€" sia, and he said none would be initiâ€" ated during the visit. It was hoped, however, that the visit would have the political effect of improving the relaâ€" tions between the two countries. _ A few years ago such a visit would have been imposibie. The fact that it ocâ€" eurs now is intended to emphasize the knowledge that the relations between Great Britain and Russia are toâ€"day friendly, and he trusted they would so continue. The Foreign Secretary then went on to say that the consequences of the atâ€" titude of aloofness or boycott of Rusâ€" sia suggested by the Laborâ€"Socialists must be disastrous and wou‘!ld sooner or later lead to war. The Britsh Government was pursuing a policy . of peace. _ If the House rejected that policy he (Sir Edward) would fall with it. Attacks on the _ personal charâ€" acter of Emperor Nicholas were not justified. _ If the Cabinet advised the King to take up the attitude _ sugâ€" gested it might as well tear up the Angloâ€"Russian convention, the Foreign Secretary said, and he then reminded the House that the general peace of the world depended greatly upon Great Britain‘s relations with Russia, / Nr.

Forty Hours a Prisoner, and Nothing but Raw Dog Meat to Eatâ€"Afraid to Lie Down Lest He Should Freeze to Death. daughters St. John‘s, Nfld., June 8.â€"Capt. W. Bartlett, of ‘the steamer Strathcona, which has just arrived from the north, brings word of a thrilling experience which Dr. Grenfell recently _ passed through and which nearly cost the inâ€" trepid missionary his life. Late in the month of April the doctor set out alone one day to cross the Zish roads, bound to Belvue to amputate a man‘s leg, and took with him a team of eight dogs and komatik with his gun and a case of surgical instruments. He was lightly clad, as the weather was fine, and he expected to make a quick journey, but had not been long out when conditions changed and there were signs of a storm brewing. Though he thought of returnâ€" ing, he had covered so much of the way that he determined it would be just as well to push on to his destination, and never for a moment imagined that the journey . would prove to be almost his last one. P Phus! mds â€" 4 To avoid the obstacles inseparable from land travels in the northern wilds Dr. Grenfell was proceeding . over the jce along the shore when suddenly the wind began blowing from the land. In less than an hour it had reached _the velocity of a gale, and before the doctor could realize his position or make an attempt to reach the coast the ice parted from the shore and began to move rapidly out to sea, taking him and his outfit with it. Jt was an inâ€" tensely trying position to be in, but for hours the devoted missionary kept up bis pace, urging his team to their greatâ€" esi speed, hoping to effect a landing at some jutting point on the shore before the jice would clear it. In this he was disappointed, and when nightfall set in ON AN ICE FLOE. he found that he had to spend th# night on the floe. > This he was compelled to do, and a horrible time he had of it all through the long howrs of the night. The wind ; continued to increase in fury, and by the time darkncss set in he was alone on the ice several miles from the land, and going farther to sea at a rapid rate. I To make whatters worse, the dogs were | accidentally driven into a bad spot, . which consisted mostly of slob, and the | doctor had much difficulty to save llwl komatik and dog team. _ He did this | after great exertion, though he lost his ) gun, surgical | instruments . and some | clothing which he carried. It was terâ€" ribly cold, and to lie down was out of the question, as he had nothing but the komatik to recline on, and would freeze to death if he did so, therefore he had to keep running around on the ice all night to keep up his cireulation. ©‘To add to the miseries of the situaâ€" tion, both Dr. Grenfell and his dogs soon began to suffer from hunger. Eventually this became so pressing that the doctor decided to kill some of the animals. Their carcasses would provide food for himself, and the remaining dogs, while their skins would furnish a muchâ€"needed covering â€" against | the viereing cold. Having lost his gun, Dr. Grenfell was put to the necessity . of stunning the dogs with a stick and despatching them with his knife. In this way he killed four of the animals. He had a terdible time trying to skin the dogs in the cold, and time and again had to desist, but, believing that he might be days on the floe before succor | came, he persisted, and eventually sucâ€" ceeded. The carcasses of some of (he\ dogs were cut up and given to the other animals for food, and their skins kept the doctor warm. Had he not taken this precaution he would have perished | from cold and exposure. 1 The cold was intense, and Dr, Grenâ€" fell had both his hands badly frostâ€"bitâ€" ten while skinning the dogs.
