PARIS. June 4. Just at the close ot the ceremonies attending the canoniza tion of Kmlle Zola In the Pantheon to day, when the President of France, the Premier and a host of Ministers of State were taking their departure, Lpuis An theno Gregoris, a military writer of rote, drew a revolver and fired two shots point-blank at Major Alfred Drey fus, for whose liberty Zola fought ant won. Men distinguished in all walks of life filled the Pantheon and, when the shots rang out., there was great excitement In tear that the President had been assas sinated, but even the attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus' created a profound im pression. Soldiers speedily surrounded Gregoris and he was taken to jail, bruised and bleeding, with his clothes Almost torn from his back: Gregoris ?o Ignorant Fanatic. : The affair has created a tremendous Sensation In. Paris and live motive, of ' the would-be assassin Is the cause of much mystification, for Gregoris, in stead of being an ordinary fanatic such aa is carried away by the political passions of the moment, is a man of mature age, having been born in 1844, and was highly esteemed in the circles where he was known. Although, born of Italian parents, he has been an ar dent Frenchman for years, and has written authoritatively on military Subjects, enjoying close, relations with many high French officers. He was one of the correspondents who followed the big French and German maneu vers, obtaining data ror technical pa pers. Royalist Plot Suspected. His friends are at a loss to under stand what Induced him to commit such a foolhardy act, and many are disposed to question his statement that he simply shot as an individual protest against participation of the army in the ceremonies at the Pan theon. Some do not hesitate to ex . press the opinion that he may have been the tool of a little clan of roy alists who, under the name of l'Action Francaise, have never ceased to Insist that the Court of Cassation illegally prevented an appeal of the Dreyfus case, nor abandoned hope of seeing a revision favorable to the contentions of the Nationalists. Significant Words of Iloyalists. Some colpr is lent to this theory by a scries of remarkable articles that ap peared in this morning's l'Action Fran caise from the pens of Charles Maurras and Leon Daudet, son of the poet, who lire the leading spirits among the roy alist supporters of the restoration of Philippe of Or'eans. The articles appar ently anticipated today's event, that of Maurras declaring that "there may be a rumbling before the revolution." Daudet wrote: "The real hero will be Dreyfus, and Dreyfus may ask himself whether thl9 nocturnal glorification of modern crime will not conjure up a ter Tlble dawn. Ho has already heard the stroke of midnight." Furthermore, the Sollel. a jroyalist or gan, this morning printed an entire page eulogizing the Duke of Orleans, accom panied by his picture. Plot to Throw Body In Seine. --' Other stories are afloat to the effect that there was an actual plot of royalist Catholic stud ints to dump the hearse containing Zo.j's body into the Seine Inst night, but that it was discovered nd frustrated. Such rumors, however, receive no official confirmation and the general f.ublic rejects them as being far fetched llepub'ican imaginations among the masses. Major Dreyfus was not seriously in jured. A bullet entered his forearm, but did not injure "the bone. At a late hour tonight the official statement was made that his condition was very fa vorable and that no complications were feared. ' ' Withi regard to the-reasons for Gregoris'-acU-tlia 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 anti 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 gautred by an interview with- Honrt Rochefort. editor of the Patrie, whicl is pub lished tonight,, and in" which he says: Koclie fort's Vicious Words. "It would have been a. glorious death for Dreyfus. It would have been his llrjjt and only time under fire." Mathleu Dreyfus, brother of Major Dreyfus, who sprang forward to save him, chivalrously, protected Gregoris from the crowd which was raining blows with canes and umbrellas on the man. shouting: "It Is not for you to punish; let the law take its course." Gregoris made a statement to the po lice directly after his arrest, and dur ing a second interrogation tonight he said: "I did not wish to kill Dreyfus. It is - - ' tip - - fc St ; true I aimed at him, but I only wafited to graze him. My object was to pro test against the participation of the army In the glorification of Zola and the rehabilitation of Dr&yfus. My blow was aimed less at Dreyfus than at Dreyfusism." During the day the police made sev eral hundred arrests, but no serious importance Is attached to these; for the prisoners are mostly students and rowdies, who took part in numerous street brawls.

ABLEST OF, THE NEW MEN General Conference Recognizes Boundless Possibilities of Church Growth In This Section of Country Editors Chosen. BALTIMORE. May 29. (Special Cor respondence.) Few friends of the Pa cific Northwest dared hope that the general conference would signally honor that section of the country by assigning- to It a bishop of such hisch rank as Bishop Charles W. Smith, whose official residence for the next four years will be In Portland. It is accepted that this bishop Is by far the ablest man elected by the gen eral conference, and it had not been thought possible that the Northwest could be recognized as of suca im portance thatN it would be conceded as expedient to put the strongest man in that new field. But this body does recogniEe the great significance of the movements of the church in that re gion of boundless possiblities. Though Dr. Smith is nearinij three score and ten years, he is a man in vigorous health, of almost oiuulless faith and K'ent vision. His wide ex perience in- the ministry wi'l be of immeasurable importance in hi work of superintendence of the conferences of the Northwest. He is a widower, with two children, a son and daughter; lilfe daughter keeps house for him, and his son is a young lawyer ju.it enter ing upon his profession. Bishop Sn,ith. authorizes the sta-.e-nwlt that he expects to go to Port land with his family, make it his home, and give the cause in that re gion the fullest and most effective su pervision of wii ch he is capable. Goes to Congenial Station. A multitude of people will regret the going of Bishop Moore and his excel lent family from Portland to Cincinnati. This genial and untiring worker will have ills home during the coming quad rennial among friends who have loved him from his boyhood. He was born and reared in Ohio. He has spent a large part of his ministerial life In Cin cinnati, six years as president of Wes leyan Female College, three years as pastor, and for eight years editor of the Western Christian Advocate. Both he and his family are greatly gratified over his assignment to that city. The San Francisco people are rejoic ing over the appointment of Bishop Hughes to that city. Bishop Hughes has had a glowing experience as pastor and this, with his great success as a college president, will make him avail able In the solution of many difficult problems connected with Pacific Uni versity near San Francisco and the Southern California University of Los Angeles. A large number of petitions and memorials came before the general conference from various places asking that the bishops be appointed to the same conferences for a number of consecutive years. After prolonged consideration. Dr. Buckley reported this morning. and the conference adopted a recommendation to the bishops that they so arrange their ap pointments to the annual conferences as to make It possible, where it is expedient, that the same bishop shall have charge as long, as it seems wise, of the same annual conferences. This report was a surprise to many of the leaders of the conference, but was easily guided to adoption under the masterful management of Lr. Buckley. Favors Pacific Northwest. The' fifteenth general conference dis trict was brought before the general conference this forenoon by the fav orable report of the committee on boundaries. When it was first intro duced Into the committee it was met by such a solid opposition that it seemed hopeless to undertake to carry it through the general conference. But the fight for it was led with such con summate skill and unflagging patience by the Rev. W. B. Hollingshead, who was seconded in all his move ments by the Rev. H. M. Marvin, of Pullman, Wash. Dr. Hollingshead had mastered every possible point that could be raised, and so readily an swered every objection that the report came to the conference with the un animous support of the great commit tee back of it. It was opposed very earnestly by the Rev. Mr. J. F. Goucher, of Baltimore, who. since the elevation of Dr. C. W. Smith to the Episcopacy, is regarded sec ond only to Dr. Buckley In his Influence over this great body. But so complete were th? answers given to every point rR3S23B (TRANSPARENT) Only those who use Jap Hose can appreciate the loxuryof a perfect bath soap its delicate fragrance and delightful effect on the sKin. , These qualities are found in no ether soaps.

Kirli & 1 ' wH K IT Smd o oc innumsi far e ltrf anwinn r X"Vi.XL Childran faMarion MilUr, wilhsnt snir 70 of his objections by Dr. Marvin, Dr. Robert Forbes and Dr. George Elliott, that the district was formed with less than a dozen votes against it. So it is readily seen that the Northwest is re ceiving every consideration that can be given it by this conference. It is now the question of importance who the favored ones shall be from the Northwest, who shall be selected for representatives of the various general boards of the church in this district. Editors Are Elected. Just before adjournment fo the noon recess the election of editors for the va rious publications of the church was re ported. There was only one nominee for each of the papers, except in the case of the vacancy of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. whose editor was Bishop Smith. For this place there were three contestants. For editor of Sunday school literature the candidates were T. J. Mc Farland and W. W. Martin. Rev. G. A. Landen was nominated as a candidate for the position of editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate, but he Immediately declined the nomination, leaving but one candidate for that position, present editor, Daniel L. Rader. The counting of the ballots was an nounced as resulting In the election of all the editors who had charge of the periodicals of the church for the past four years, except in the case of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Rev. J. J. Wallace was selected to fill this va cancy. Daniel L. Rader was re-elected editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate, receiving 694 votes out of 704. This is a gratifying vote, especially in view of the fact that Mr. Rader was so sorely dlsS abled during more than a year during the last quadrennlum.
