The iRev.

DrNE. J. Thurber will The questions before the commission are delicate for the final conclusions as to the course of the bullet may conflict with those of the French medical experts. The latter base the accident theory on the upward range of the bullet, but the American officials believe that an independent autopsy will establish the fact that the range was almost horizontal, thus indicating a direct shot from an aimed weapon. The United States consulate staff is also taking the depositions of witnesses independent of those taken by ye French officials.

So far this action has not developed any new features, but the depositions furnish a complete and unprejudiced statement of the case and will be forwarded to the State Department at Washington. Mr. Gowdy will be reperesnted at the examination of De Rydzewski, in whose apartment Mrs. Gore was killed, but as an observer, as care will be taken not to create an impression that there is the least official doubt of the thoroughness of French Justice. RE-ENACTED THE SCENE.

The French officials Raving the case in charge decided unexpectedly to hold the reconstruction of the scene" this afternoon instead of waiting until tomorrow. This interesting formality took place in the room where the tragedy occurred. De Rydzeyvski re-enacted the details of the fatal scene and submitted to the cross-examination of officials at every step. The only persons admitted were theJ examining magistrate, the Commissary of Police, Dr. Socquet, who performed the autopsy; Gastinne Bennett 't the expert armorer; De Rydzewski and.

Lawyer Cruppi. A representative of Mr. Mi Pacquet, applied for permission to bd present but the "magistrate refused -oa the ground of requirements of the law. The party arrived at- the house at 3 o'clock. i De Rydzewski was in a cab and was accompanied by two police officers.

He ha4 handcuffs on and looked pale and emaciated. He shielded his face from the gaze of the crowd at the door and, followed by the magistrate and the officers, mounted- the stairs to the room where the fatal scene was re-enacted. There is every reason to believe that th' accused repeated his story as first told and said Mrs. Gore's death was the result of an accident. i AMERICAN DOCTORS.

Hence, the next municipal administration will have a deal op its hand. Upon it will devolve the task of carrying out the scheme of public improvement embodied In the bond ordinance. The expenditures and contracts will be on a scale heretofore unknown in Oakland. Interest in the coming election is also deepened by the generally accepted belief that the" Union Labor party will put a ticket in the field.
