Ploqunrt. former chief of the Intelligence department of the war office was called to the wit ness stand and continued his dlsposl ti n. which was Interrupted yesterday l.v the adjournment of the court for th i"ay. The colonel as yesterday nave his testimony In a loud, fearless tone of voice. Ho began by do"laiing that he believed It necessary to reply ntmedlaiely to Gen. Hoget's airoign m. -nt of him. Continuing, the colonel referred to the secret dossier up the mainspring of the condemnation of Dreyfus, lie look up successively the (1 uutnents In It, referring to th" writ eis and addresses of the loters as "A" and "n." At the- outset of f'ol. Picquart's re murks Hen. Kogtt interposed and said he would reply to them.

Plcquart occupied practlcilly hf whole of today's session of the " ourt with it masterly presentation of his side of the ono. He spoke for five limns, and his voice a: the end of that 1'ine began to show signs of fatigue. His testimony was followed with the fV'sest attention of the members of the fun-martial and by the public in at tendance. Colonel Picquart's Testimony. 'oimiel Plciiuart In part mild: "I protest absolutely against the allega tion that I consented to the communi cation of secret documents to the mem bers of the Dreyfus court martial with out the prisoner's knowledge I never r'idereii such communication, and if it was done It was without my cogniz ance 1 hasten m add that. In my opinion, it would have heen an Insult t.i the court to believe Its members would lend themselves to such inachln at inns. I am ready, I repeat, to reply to .ery question. I will only point out that all General Hoget has re-(Hint.-il In detail was published In gen eral terms lu the Oaulois on Jan. 7. Having thus explained certain matters, I will continue my deposition." The colonel proceeded to discuss li l brase occurlng In the bordereau, T oin going to the manoeuvres." He mid tru-ie was no question of probation"-! lining to the manoeuvres lu Soplembei. That, he pointed out. would have eur t .led their period of probation in an entirely unusual manner. After deal ing with the testimony of the experts nt the court martial of 1S0I, Colonel Plcquart proceeded to examine the se- n-i dossier, a close analysis of which, he asserted, was particularly neces sary, "owing to the weight the docu ment had with the members of the court martial In 1S91." The onioned said It would facilitate his explanations If be were permitted t see the secret dossier, nihllns: 'I have already had It In my hands, but I fear my memory may fall me on Hume points." What you ask," replied the presi dent of the. court martini, "Is Impossi ble The ministers' orders are abso lute The secret dossier can only be examined under certain conditions." I regret it." answered Plcquart. But I will try to refresh my memory." The witness explained why Major du Paty de Clam's translation of the D'Avlgnon document, which has been classed as Idiotic, was open to doubt, and why Hie document. If it ever had nny meaning whatever, was as applic able to Ksterhuzy as to Dreyfus. Information Was Insignificant. Begardlng the correspondence of the military attaches, the witness demon strated the Insignificance of the Infor i nitlnn asked for. While Paty du Clam , regarded the. correspondence an con vincing and as clearly Indicating mi officer of the second bureau, Colonel iPlequnrt maintained that Hit terms oi the correspondence Indicated that the writer Intended lo ask a friend, and not a spy, for the Information desired. Many headquarters' otllcers, ho point, od out, wero on cordial and absolutely legitimate terms with the foreign mili tary attaches. During a brief suspension of the court Generals Mercler. ltoget. Hlllot and do Bolsdeffro and other witnesses saunt ered together up and down tbo yard of the Lycee or gathered in little groups and discussed animatedly thu colonel's testimony, which, although it contained but low new facts, was placed before the trlhunulso cleverly and wuh spoken so effectively that It could not full to repeat thu Impression mude yesterday. Dreyfus, naturally, drank In all the witnesses' words, which culm as a bnlm to the wounds Indicted on him by Genernls Mercler and Hoget, and he scanned closely the faces of his Judges, ns though seeking to read their thoughts. From the standpoint of the public, the session was the most monotonous since the opening of the trial. Even the confrontation of Colonel Piequnrt and Generals Mercler and Hoget at the end nf It lucked the dramatic force of the slmllnr Incidents which have mark ed almost every previous session. Colonel Picquart's deposition was a fine performance. He spoke without notes nnd, In view of the mass of facts adduced, It must be runked as a feat of memory. The members of the court-martial took copious notes during Colonel Pic quart's testimony, and It wns evident that several of the explanations he gave came ns fresh light to them. When the colonel hud concluded Gen eral Hoget and General Mercler Jumped up together and nsked to be heard In contrndlctlor of some of his statements. Colonel Jounust asked General Hoget to speak llrst. That ofllcer thereupon faceil Colonel Plcquart. who replied promptly to his questions, which the general delivered In a theatrical man ner and with frequent gestures. Gen eral Mercler adopted a quieter de meanor. Neither, however, said any thing which could be described us dam aging to Colonel Picquart's evidence. The court adjourned at 11.40 a. m. until tomorrow. M'COY KNOCKED OUT. The Kid Was Too Confident nnd Was Made Drowsy by Mr. McCormlck, of Philadelphia. Chicago, Aug. 19. Jack McCormlck. of Philadelphia, knocked out Kid Mc Coy In about one minute tonight. The bout was to have been for six rounds and It was generally thought that Me Cornuuk stood no show at all. He himself said before entering the ring that he was going to do his best. The light wns so short and so quickly over that there was almost nothing to It but the punch that put McCoy to sleep. The fight M-as under strict Qucensbury rules, hitting with one hand free permitted. When the gong sounded McCormlck started In to rush things, relying on his greater weight and superior strength to offset McCoy's science. Ho received a straight left In the mouth the first time be tried and a second later a sav age left hook on the side of the head halted him a second time. He then rushed twice more, currying McCoy to the ropes both times. The (list time he hit McCoy over the kidneys with his right. The second time, as they came from the ropes still clinched. McCoy freed his left nnd sent a hook to MeCormlek's cheek, dropping him to the floor. Mc Cormlck lay quiet, making a pretence of olulmtTlFr n'-fdul, although none had been committed. McCormlck rose on the order of He feree Hogun with a sheepish grin on his face. The knockdown had not In jured him In the slightest. The men squared off once more and then came to the end like lightning from a clear sky. McCoy was moving cautiously around McCormlck, both hands low down, neither being ns high as the belt. McCormlck suddenly left fly his light and landed It full on the jaw. McCoy went down like a dead man, flat on his back, legs and arms out stretched, his face pointing squarely to the celling. It was evident the In stant he struck the lloor that his fight ing was over for tonight at least. Pandemonium broke loose In the hall and there were wild yells for McCor mlck. shrieks of "Get up. Kid." "Get up." Hognn went down on one knee bv the side of McCoy and shouted his ca'l of the seconds in the lighter's car. but McCoy was past all hearing. At the word "ten" he raised his bead slightly and Hosim paused an Instant before he shouted "out." but McCoy was still out of It. Thirty seconds would not have brought him Into condition to fight ngaln. THE GARMENT WORKERS. Much Business of Importance Trans acted nt Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Aug. IS.

THE SHAMROCK MS ARRIVED CHALLENGER COMES AHEAD OF SCHEDULE TIME. i Had Not Been Expected for Several Days Arrived lu Good Condition. Captain Hogarth Highly Pleased with the Yacht's Bohavlor To Anchor Off Tompkinsvlllo Was Towed Moat of the Way Over. New York, Aug. 18. The Shnmroek, the new cup challenger, arrived early this morning, greatly to the surprise of yachtsmen, who supposed that film Mas still In mldocoan, and did not ex pect to see her for several days at least. The cup challenger passed the Hook Inward bound at f o'clock this morning, in tow of the tug Hubert Haddon. From her main truck fiew the private signal of her owner, tho green shamrock In a yellow field with green borders. The ensign of the British naval reserve had ben hoisted to the head of her yawl mast. The code signal flags S. 11. S. K Indic ating her name, were strung up at the mainmast. She Mas painted n light green. Though not very beautiful In Iter present rig, she looks n smart craft, and likely to give the Columbia a squnro light when properly fitted up. Fir Thomas Upton's steam y.icht Krln. which accompanied the Sham rock across the sea, passed Sandy Hook nt 8.11 this morning, closo In the wake of the challenger. The Krln M-as painted white From her fore truck the owner's private signal m'hs flying, from the spring stay the code signals H. C. M. H. were displayed and the naval reserve er.slgn Hunted over her tnffrull. When the yachts passed the Hook they M-eio saluted by the marine observers. Th Shamrock arrived nt quarantine nt 9:4! o'clock. The Krln arrived there nt 0:05. The Shnmroek M-as boarded off quarantine by Deputy Health Offi cer L'llommodlou and promptly clear ed The steam yacht was then boarded and cleared. At 10:01 the Shnmroek left quarantine, tollowed nt 10:10 by the Krln. Both yachts mnde for Tomp kinsvlllo, where, it was expected, they would anchor for a dav or two. Tho Shamrock Is commanded by dipt. Ho garth and manned by foity-three men. The officers and crew s-ald they -.verr-well satisfied with the bhavior of the challenger. None of the crew of the Krln would talk about the voyage, perhaps because they wunted to obey orders, perhaps because the officers of the steam yucht were never out of hearing distance. Captain Hogarth, of the Shamrock, Mild: "The Shamrock behaved beautifully. I am more than satisfied with her. In fact. ' am delighted, becnuse my most sanguine anticipations have been more then realized. But I will say thK ih.U gleeful as 1 am Mith the bouivi.ir of iht. boat, I was more than sur prised with the generous reception M-hlch she gpt from the time that v.'e Were abreast o Sondv Hook." The fact that the Shamro.-K wu:i towed the greater part of the May across makes It of little value to com pare her performance with that of for mer challengers ns a test of her abili ties. Valkyrie 111, I,nrd Dunraven's yacht, made an exceptionally long pas sage, and fears were entertained for her safety. She encountered Tory heavy weather. Valkyrie II made an ordinary run. Both these yachts, how ever, came the M-hole distance under their own sail. Thev followed prac tically the course chosen for the Sham rock. TUPPER'S SUSPICIONS.

No set tlement ever could be reached through the even side commission suggested by the United States. We have reached nn Impasse and have no Intention of resuming negotiations in regard to matters pending between Canada and America until the Alaska question Is settled.

Gueiiti, the presi dent of the Anti-Semite league, who has been barricaded In the headnuar tors of the league since Saturday Init, when nn af tempt M-as made to arrest b'ln, will not surrender. He decided tonight to energetically maintain his i wn propositions and refused to ac cept, those proposed by General Jaj quev. M. Gueiin's decision not to surrender was delivered after a deputation of tho Natlonnl Defense group had waited on him nnd Informed him of the contents of the seml-ofllclul note. General .lac quey and M.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Hevlew of Trade .will say tomorrow: The Cramps have dlscharp-ed many hundred hands and asked Hussla to ex tend time of the completion of two warships because they cannot get the steel. Completion of twenty-one out of thirty-seven vessels building In the Delaware Is also ffectcd. It Is a curi ous experience ior this country, but shows the glguntlc expansion of home demand. No one can question the fact that payments through the principal clearing houses have been In August 6.V9 per cent, larger than In 1S92 for the month thus far.,and outside New York 23.0 per centi,VJo better tet of th. volume of business Is known, but there Is a growing handicap In the advance of prices How long and how far this advance will go without reaction Is .he problem which level-headed business men are studying. Kvldences of check ed consumption are rare, but It would be childish to hope that at some point higher prices would not hinder buying. In Iron the question Is of steel billets which the great consuming companies have bought far In advance, so that all new orders have a narrow market. For six months billets have sold at $4 to $B higher than the rails made from them. Other demands not covered by con tracts are mainly for vurlous shapes and sizes only prescribed In contracts. While prices have risen ."i cents for southern pig Iron. 50 cents for Chicago local coke and 7"i cents for grey forge at Pittsburg, rails have advanced $1 per ton. with work coveted for all thl year and -100,000 tons or more taken be yond what can be delivered until next year. Other finished products do not change, although the demand at all points exceed present capacity.

Monument Unveiled on St. Prlvnt Battlefield In Memory of German Foot Guards Mnll-Clad Archangel Leaning on a Sword at the Top of the Shaft Stands as Gunranteo of All Soldiers of Both Armies. Berlin, Aug. IS. Kmperor William yesterday unveiled a monument on the St. Piivut battlefield to the dead of the first regiment of the foot guards. In the address which his majesty made he said: "Hallowed recollections attend to day's festival, making hearts beat higher. My first regiment of foot guurds Is represented by one company, Its glorious flags and many old com rades Mho fought and bled on this spot. I unveil this monument In re membrance of those who fell on the Held of battle. This ceremony also takes place In tho presence of mv youngest regiment and the Mhole army, represented by the troops of the slx ttenth corps. This Is almost the onlv lcgiment which has not hitherto been lepresentod by a monument on this blond-drenched field. Yet with a full clr.lm to one. Although It Is nearly rn lited by history to my house, M-hose riinces nnd kings It has been called lo t'aln up. and though It might rlghMc. therefore, be considered as a family household regiment, yet my gr.md titlier did not hesltnte for a moment to sacrifice to the welfare of tho coun tiy the troops so dear to him. His tory tells us hoM- the regiment foim't, bled ond fiiltlilled Its oath, and how lis behavior evoked the applause and Its sorrow the tears of the great emperor. This regiment, with me ns Its senior comrade, today sets up a memorial of stone to Its heroes M-ho rest beneath tho swnrd. Design of the Monument. "The design of this monument dif fers from that usual on battlefields. A mull-clad urchnnsel leans In calm re poe on a sword adorned with the regi ment's proud motto (Semper Tails). I desire that the meaning of this figure be generally known. It stands on thl blood-stained field us a guarantee of all the brave soldiers of both armlei, French nnd German, M'ho fell here. For the French soldiers M-ho found a glori ous grave at S't. Privat also fought bravely and heroically for their em peror and fatherland. When our flags are lowered In greeting before this bronze sta'tue and flutter mournfully over the graves of our dear comrades, may they wave over the tombs of our foes and whisper 'that we think sor roMingly of their brave dead. With deep thanks and an upward glance to the Lord of Hosts for the guidance he so mercifully vouchsafed to our great emperor, we will recall that the count less souls of nil those who once stood face to face In hot encounter will look down upon us this day from whence they stand around the throne of the Supreme Judge, united In eternal peace." Kmperor William emphasized strong ly the words "a'l" and "both" In his utteiances, when referring to "all tho brave soldiers of both armies," SECRETARY ROOT SELECTS OFFICERS Compares Their Efficiency Efforts Doling Spanish War List That Vill Be Sent to the President for Approval. Washington, Aug. IS. Secretary Hoot was busily engaged the latter part of the day In selecting olllcers to fill the new regiment, going over the lists of names that have ben sub mitted with recommendation for ap pointment and comparing their effi ciency efforts during the Spanish war. The secretary Is giving the matter of these selections his personal attention and the list Is being prepared In Ids private office After the selections ore made by the secretary they will be sent to the president for his approval. Preparations continue actively In the matter of arranging for the speed transportation of the troops to the Philippines: The quartermaster's de partment has been considering the ad visability of chartering more trans ports on the Pacific coast. Already the shljis chartered make It possible to send nearly all toe organization now formed by September 23 instead of two weeks later which was the scheme first shown to Secretary Hoot. The transpoits Logan and Thomas are now being fitted up iu the Atlan tic coast and It Is expected they will bo ready to sail by the middle of Oc tober and will take three regiments via the Suez canal. Vt the latest calculation It Is now believed to be possible to land all the new regiments In the Philippines by the first of December or very soon af ter that date. Seen of the lieutenant-colonels named yesterday are now serving lu the Philippines. They Mill remain there and await the arrival of their regi ments. While It may not be necessary to use all the troops In the Philippines, It Is understood to be the plan of Sec retary Hoot to have a HUtllcient force to n it only defeat the insurgents nt every point but to garrison ani boll tho places ihnt may bo taken and thus Insure a safe lino of communication.
