Labor!' iln.v nt the Lycw .vcstordiiy,
whi-ro Ciiptnin Alfred Ihi-jfus is stuiid

the central tin me of the Bcene. Ax tlie

drew nil recards'-not merely Klance of
curiosity, but the steady Rime of admira
tion. His mere presence brought bright
ness into the courtroom and fresh Unlit
Into the proceedings.
Lubori did what people had expected.
He ftalva'iijted the dormant defense into
an active, living thing. Maitre DemaiiKo
was i-onciliatory. He bus always seemed
to fear to tread on the military corn. La
bor! is a gladiator and always speaks to
touch his foe to the quick. Let there be
the slightest opening in his opponent's
defense, und he thrusts home.
When Maitre Deinange found nothing
to ask n witness, Maitre Lnbori's quick
ye had discovered weak spots, and lie
came forward with searching questions.
Ito opened with an eloquent speech,
and the audience could have listened for
An hour as his rich, melodious voice, in
modulated tones and then impnssionrd
outbursts, nccompunied by energetic and
speaking gestures, tilled the courtroom.
(tcncrnls Ungot. Billot, Mercier and
Boisdeffre, with the other military wit
nesses, gave one another anxious glance
and put their heads together to exchange
obviously disagreeable impressions as
Labori plied the smnller military fry
who occupied the witness stand succes
sively with disconcerting questions. ,
Labori corned lieneral Mercier on the
S.di wider letter, which the latter had
used in evidence nnd which Colonel
Schneider had repudiated as a forgery.
The general was surprised when Labor!
suddenly demanded that Mercier lie re
called. Evidently he hoped the tribunal
would support him in refusing to ex- ;
plain how he got a copy of a letter which
was of a later date than his incumbency
nt the ministry of war.
Hut Labori was not to be denied. He
insisted that Mercier should give some
ON-planation. Then, after hesitating. Mer
cier declared that he would assume all
the responsibility attaching to his posses
sion of the documents. This, ns Labor!
iutended it should be, was a demonstra
tion of communication by the general
staff of part nt least of the secret dossier
to an ordinary soldier, such ns Mercier
became immediately on leaving the min
istry of war.
(Jeneral Mercier made a pitiable exhi- i
bition. M. Labori in a passion fairly thuu- j
dered his questions. 1
"What can be the value of documents,"
said he, "which we cannot Ree and can- j
not discuss, documents for which it is ini-
possible to know who takes the responsi- :
bility? I appeal to you, M. le President,
to lie good enough to ask (ieueral Met- ,
cier how this document came into his pos
session." "M. le President," continued Labori,
"I insist that a reply be given. General
Mercier has sworn to speak the whole
truth. I must insist thut questions re
spectfully tendered by the defense be an
swered by him. The court martial, unlike
the court of cassation, has to deal with
the whole range of the affair, and it is
necessary that complete light be thrown
upon it. I insist that General Mercier an
swer me, for it is my right."
After Mercier's shuttling collapse M.
Labori sank back into his armchair, great
beads of perspiration standing on his
forehead, but his countenance radiant at
the impression he had made.
When Labori had attained his object
and forced n confession of grnve viola
tion of law on the part of General Mer
cier, he gave a smile of grim satisfac
tion und then added significantly, "I
shall have other questions to nut to Gen
eral Mercier."
The scene was highly dramatic and
made a profound impression upon all the
spectators. As the result of this admis- !
siou and with the additional charge of
communicating secret documents to the !
court martial of 1V.I4 Mender is liable to j
arrest at any moment. Indeed some peo-
pie think it not impossible that he will be I
lying in the military prison adjoining the
cell of Captain Dreyfus before the week
is out.
Another series of questions put by Mai
tre Labori concerned Lajoux. n spy for
merly in the service of the French war
ollice, but packed off to South America,
according to various military witnesses,
because lie proved a swindler. Labori
asked how it was, if (bat were so, that
Lajoux was still receiving monthly pay
ments. Commandant llollin, completely taken
aback, replied that a cessation of pay
ments was under consideration.
The impression conveyed by Lnbori's
questions and the replies given was that
Lajoux was being paid by the war ollice
to keep out of the way in the interest of
Kstcrhazy, whom Lajoux, iu a letter read
in court oflering revelations in the Drey
fus nffuir, indicated as the real traitor.
M. Labori s cross examination iu this
matter, therefore, was a distinct mlvun- j
tage to the accused.
M. Lubori iinuyiinced that he intended
to recall several witnesses who had made
deposit imiH during his absence. This
meiiss Mercier, Uoget and others, who
will fce nit to the test of u severe cross
examination. To his friends M. Labori
has expressed himself eonlideiit of being
' able to toHr to pieces the evidence these
generals have given so confidently before
a sympathetic tribunal.
Captain Dreyfus pursued the attitude
he took up Monday nnd replied to the
statements of hostile witnesses with ar
guments nnd the presentation of counter
facts, only once giving wuy to his feelings
and offering a cry of protest. This wus tit
the conclusion of Colonel lici't ill's deposi
tion, when, with broken voice, the ac
cused declared his love of Trance and the
army.
"Vcs," he cried, "I love France, and I
love my country, but It is with sentiments
different from the ones animating those
who come here today to testify against
me."
M. Lubori, if anything, was better aft
er his exertion than before. The excite
ment under which he labored seemed to
act as a ttliuuluut. although tuuuy
friends, noticing his Hushed face, feared
there might be a collapse.
So far from this being the case, be was
nble to go for a drive with bis wife In nn
nuto car in the afternoon, and on his re
turn he held quite a reception, spending
the time until dinner iu going over the ev
idence ami preparing for today
The scurrilous tactics of the nnti-Drey-fusard
newspapers may be Illustrated by
a panivrtiiph appearing in their organ
here, declaring that the ntt.uk on La
bori, which, it Insinuates, did very little

HAMIU KG, Aug. LM. - The Ham
burgisebe Correspondeiii!, discussing tlie
assertion that Germany should publish
certain documents proving the innocence
of Dreyfus, says, "The answer to this is
that documents of this nature cannot be
produced, for the simple reason that Ger
many never had anything to do with
Captain I ireyfus."

to the rate of exchange. He says the Por- 1
to Kicuns refuse to r gnize the value of

value was fixed by Secretary tinge nt 00
cents, the value of the Porto Kican peso
having fluctuated fur years between 4."

is only nbout o.OOO.Oimi pesos, nnd the
comparatively small amount of coin in
circulation enables the banks to secure

rate fixed by the United States. Lately
they have exchanged at from (51 to IaI

PKKTOIilA. Aug. '."..-It is ascertain
ed on the highest authority that no defi
nite reply has been sent to the proposal
of the British secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr. .loseph Chamberlain, to sub
mit to a joint commission of inquiry the
effect upon the uitlanders of the recent
franchise reforms. The precise situation
is that as a result of the pourparlers a
communication was dispatched Monday
to Sir Alfred Milner, British high com
missioner in South Africa und governor
of Cape Colony, which embodies certain
alternative proposals.
For various reasons these are kept
strictly confidential, but it Is believed
that they will admit of the conclusion
of a modus vivendi.
It la understood from miollicinl sources
of information that the alternative pro
posals of the Transvaal government are
for a five years' franchise nnd a one-fifth
representation of the uitlanders iu the
first rand, provided the imperial govern
ment does not further interfere In the in
ternal affairs of the Transvaal.
Official c ircles nt present regard the sit
uation ns tending to Improve. The am
munition consigned to tlie South African
Hcpublic is still detained by the Portu
guese authorities in Delagoa buy.
BLUE BOOK ISSUED.
Document Hrunrcllim the Transvaal
t'rlsls I'ubllslied.
LONDON. Aug. ".:. A parliamentary
paper dealing with tin1 Transvaal crisis
lias just been issued. It details the ef
forts of the Boer government during the
past year to have the question of the
suzerainty of Great Britain submitted to
arbitration ami Great Britain's repeated
refusals to disc uss the busier point.
The document adds thai Sir Alfred
Milner, the governor of Cape Colony and
high commissioner of South Africa, writ
ing to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the sec
retary of state for the colonies, last June,
said:
"The way in which the secretary of
state jugdes with the convention of IS'J-l
is rather irritating to a plain man."
The final dispatch from Mr. Chamber
lain, dated July .', IS'.KI. to Sir Alfred
Milner concurs with the bitter's view as
to tlie untenable Transvaal contention,
adding that the British government had
no intention to continue to discuss tlie
question of suzerainty with the Trans

assembly Mr. Cecil lthodes, referring to
the Transvaal quest ion, said yesterday:
"No. There will be no bloodshed.
President Kruger, like n sensible man,
will climb down. The less the Cape
Coloney is concerned in the quarrel the
better." Continuing, Mr. Uhodcs said it

Movement Airnlnst the Erie.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 23.-A movement
bus been started among railroad men, it
is said, to induce the Erie to withdraw
its reduced rnte on New York business.
It is probable, moreover, thut the pres
sure brought to hour will be so strong
that the Erie may hnve to make n virttiul
acknowledgment thut the rnte has been J
withdrawn, but that It will not be with-
drawn in fact. The Erie bus, it is said, '
quietly entered into nn agreement with .
a great many people to give them the
rule, and at lust it may take refuge be
hind the interstate commerce law, which
prohibits discrimination and insists thut
the low rate shall be given to all.

BRISTOL, R. I.. Aug. 23.- When the
nip defender Columbia meets he English
I'halleiiger Miniinock iu the first of the
International cup races olT Sandy Hook
next October, the American yacht will
be more heavily sparred and will carry
more canvas than she bus hail in any
race tli's season.
When the steel mast was tried iu the
new boat. It wns found that she stood up
much stiU'er than when using tlie pine
must, and as soon ns this became appar
ent the builders conferred with the? own
ers and decided to put enough additional
sail on to cause her to heed down ns orig
inally planned for. Orders were Imme
diately given to construct n new steel
mast, longer and bigger than the one
which collapsed off Newport the first of
the mouth. A new boom and gaff are
also to be built, longer than the ones used
in the tuning up process.
Managing Owner C. Oliver Iselln has
just placed an order with n Lawrence
(Mass.) duck manufacturing company for
2,000 yards of special duck, which is to
be cut up and used for the lower sails of
the Columbia. The ennvas is to be of a
special quality, made in such a mnnner
as to prevent much stretching, nnd will
weigh about 21 ounces to a yard. This
will give a total weight for the lower
sails, if the cloth is used for jib nnd stay
sail besides the mainsail, of about 2,1)00
pounds.
The ennvns for the sails used previous
ly wus also made at Lawrence, but the
order wns for only 1,000 yards, which
figures indicate that the owners nre con
templating an increase in sail of about
400 yards, or about 2.100 square feet, it
ynril of canvas containing ,'Vi square
feet. It is believed here that the Co
lumbia can carry this great increase of
sail without any dilliculty nnd thut her
speed will increase propoi tionatoly.
The Sliniiiriiek stripped.
NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-As light as
the day she was launched, the yacht
Shamrock lies alongside Iht Erie basin
pier. Completely stripped of all her sea
going spurs und rigging and with every
thing taken out from below, she floats
fully IS inches higher than she did upon
her arrival. The jigger must ami main
mast were lifted out in the forenoon yes
terday. They were laid on the deck of a
derrick mid biter taken to the storehouse
where the rest of the Shamrock's spars
are stowed. During the rifternoon n
number of bags of sand were passed up
from the Shamrock's hold and put on
board the tender Monouiiintue. It is
said they were used in the bilges and
other parts of the yacht ns ballast. The
Shamrock will lie where she is for the
present. She is not to be drydocked un
til the arrival of Sir Thomas Lipton, and
perhaps not then, for her captain says it
is not necessary to haul her out until the
time set for measuring her, just before
the races. The Shamrock is to receive
her racing rig nt once.

The Final Trial It a era.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The next
races between the ynchts Columbia anil
Defender will be sailed on Sept. 2, 4 ami
0 off Newport, R. I. The fiuul selection
of the Newport course for the finnl trinl
races meets the entire approval of the
managing owners of both the Columbia
nnd Defender, c hiefly for the reason that
the starting point is easier of access than
Sandy Hook, and again because, in the
event of an accident either to hull, spars,
rigging or sails of either yacht, more than
it duy can be saved iu reaching the Her
resclioffs, where all or uny of those re
pairs cuti bo mude.
Tellow Fever at I'll nn ma.
COLON, Colombia, Aug. 23. Several
