Shot by Gregoris, June 4. 100S. . .
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

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.

SIGNAL HONOR FOR
G R EAT N 0 RTH WEST
Bishop Charles W. Smith, As
signed to This City, Leader
in Methodism. .
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

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.
