INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS Still Suffering, but Kesumes the Work tho Would-Bc Murderer In tended to Stop Court Expresses Its Indignation at tho Outrage and Welcomes the Lawyer Back. His Reply Scenes in the Court room Tho Advocate Cross-Examinee Gen. Mercier Corners the Former Minister of War Govern ment's Representative Comes to the Relief Labori Threatens to Compel Reply. Ttennes, Aug. 22. Mnltre I.nborl of counsel for Cupt. Alfred Dreyfus, who is being tried by court-martial here on the charge of treason, was In court today when tho proceedings were con tinued. Maltre Labori's arrival at the Lycoe, In which building tho trial Ib being held, caused scenes of extraor dinary enthusiasm. At G:l." a. m. three carriages, pro ceded by a number of bicycles, pulled up at the entrance to the Lyceo. Tho l'rst carriage contained Maltre Labori nnd his wife and physicians.. In the others were friends of the lawyer and some Inspectors of police. When tho crowd about tho building recognized the advocate a rush was made to the carriage and n number of persons thrust their hands eagerly thruugltathc windows to greet him. As he alighted 1-e was surrounded by friends nnd a bundled hands pressed him. while he was assailed with all sorts of questions, to which he smilingly replied: "1 am going on well, my friends, thank you. Thank you." As be entered the court room the au dience greeted him by rising and a general rour of welcome burst forth, ni-ompanled by the clapping of hands, winch was heard distinctly In the streets. Tears sprang to the eyes of the wounded man, who was evidently nffecicd deeply. Among the persons who shook hands with him were Gens. Billot and Mer cier, both of whom Inquired courteous ly ns to bis condition. The lawver looked very well, consid ering his recent expei-buiee. He walked nulte briskly, but held his left arm close to his side In order not to dis turb tho wound, lie was conducted t' a light, well-cushioned arm-chair Instead of one of the ordinary cane bottom chairs set apart for the law yers. Mme. Labori in Court. Mine. Labori, who entered the court room ahead of her husband, also re ceived a hearty greeting. As she seat ed herself friends gathered around nnd overwhelmed her with congratulations on her husband's recovery to which she responded smilingly. At first the audience seemed to be apprehensive that Colonel Jouaust. president of the court, might treat the applause of M Labori as a demonstra tion which would warrant him In clear ing the court room. It began, there fore, with a few timid claps of tho hands, which were followed soon, how ever, by general applause. As M. Labori shook hands with Gens. Billot nnd Mercier, who smilingly con gratulated him on being nble to reap pear In the case, he thanked them for cjinng at nis residence while he was in bed. Dreyfus entered tho court room soon after Matlro Labori. and after salut ing the Judges In tho usual manner ho turned to the lawyer with outstretched hand and his pale and usually Impas sive features were lighted up with a smile of pleasure. Matlre Labori took the prisoner's hand and shook It warm ly. Dreyfus seated himself, as usual, in front of counsel's table, with his back toward It. Colonel Jouaust read from a paper nn address to M. Labori. tho tone of the president being quite sympathetic. The lawyer made an impassioned re ply, lie was nffecied deeply, but his voire was clear, though not so strong us It was before ho was shot. He Mas very norvous and excited, and swayed to and fro as he delivered his reply, which Impressed his heareis pro foundly. The effort fatigued him con siderably and as he sat down his face was flushed and he put his hand to his side. He afterward once or twice twitched his lingers nervously, and his features contracted, as though he vu3 Buffeting twinges of pain. Madame. Itejalne, the well known ae trees, was In the court room today. Bin mad the trip to Rennes especially to see the trial nnd the return of M. Labori. She applauded most heartily t the -ntiy of the lawyer. The first witness today was M. Ciren lr. the former prefer t of Belfort. Ills testimony was favorable to Dreyfus, Inasmuch as his deposition was dis tinctly' hostllo to Lsterhazy. Major Rollins, of the Intelligence de partment, was asked during the couise of his testimony by M. Labor! how a rertnln document, of a later date than Ihe time of General Mender's admin istration of the war otllce. came Into ncncral Merclor's possession. ltollln g.ltd It Was not his hllslriosa in nv- plain, hut counsel Insisted, asking I vllCA ItlialnAn I. ..... I ,,UOC HUOIIirflO ll W,IP. Mercier Declines. Finally Maltre Labori asked Colonel Jouaust to request General Merrier lo explain. The general rose and said he declined to answer. M. Labori In listed emphatically, but General Mor :lei: refused ngnln. and Major Car flere, the government commissary, supported him, on the ground that tho examination was entering on a. mutter which ought not, In the Interest of France, to be discussed publicly. M. Labori then said In a loud voice that he would resorvo to himself the right to take tho necessary measures to obtain the desired Information. The next point was made by Dreyfus, In his reply to Major Rollln. The latter had remarked that all tho prisoner's papers were seized when his rooms were searched In 1891, nnd Colonel Jouaust said that certain papers from his text book, the School of Wnr, were found missing. To that the prisoner retorted: "Not In 1894, colonel." Thai caused some sensation, as the obvious Interpretation whs that the pages were torn out at the war office, and that then the fact was used against him ns an insinuation that he had com municated the missing pages to for eign agents. A former secretary of the war olllce, named Ferret, testified to seeing Dreyfus prying Into other olllcers' work during their absence, and the prisoner replied, excitedly, that Ferret's statements were concoctions by n former minister of war. which caused a sensation. Then, In a cooler manner, the prisoner explained the dllllcultlcs In the way of a civilian, such as Ferret, entering the oillces of the general staff. General Gonso thereupon presented two letters to the effect that the writ ers, both of whom were civilians, ob tained admittance to the ofllces. Dreyfus retorted smartly thnt the regulations were most strict In that respect, and that, therefore, some per sons had been guilty of gross breach of discipline. Mnltre Demange scored n point by adding that If entry to those olllees was so easy evidently anybody could procure the Information that Dreyfus was alleged to have obtained so surreptitiously. Lieutenant Colonel Bcrtln, who was In charge of the office In which Drey fus worked In 1S94, was the next wit ness. He showed himself to be u most virulent enemy of the prisoner. He had evidently learned his testimony by heart and delivered It In a strident, aggressive tone of voice, which grated on the ears of the audience. Some of his remarks particularly his declara tion that he was convinced of Dreyftis's guilt by M. Hertlllon's chart, and his Introduction of Ksterhazy's statements ns testimony against Dreyfus, elicited smile? In court. Bertin's Testimony. Lieutenant Colonel Benin's test imony was concluded with a passage at arms between him and M. Labor!. The latter said that Colonel Uertln himself, by remarks which he had made on a certain occasion, convinced the lawyer of the Innocence of Dreyfus. counsel then recalled other words used by Colonel Uertln to the effect that M. Demnnge was counsel for the German embassy because he had defended oth er persons accused of espionage. Tho wltutss admitted the correctness of M. Laborl's quotation, wlwreiitinn r. Dennnge protested ngalnst Lieutenant Colonel llertln's statement. Sharp words were exchanged until Col. Jouaust Intervened and refused to allow any further discussion of a matter outside the case. Lieut. Col. Jeannel repeated testi mony which he had given before the court of cassation. Ho was very hard on Dreyfus, but while testifying he scarcely once looked the prisoner In the face. The last witness of the day, Cnptain Malstre, read a letter from nn olllcer at Nantes, affirming that while he was on the general staff as a probationer, with Dreyfus, the latter told the olllcer of his visit to Alsace Lorraine and re counted how he had followed the Ger man army manoeuvres on foot and on horseback. That was Intended to show that Dreyfus was not telling tho truth when he denied being present ut any time ut tho manoeuvres in Alsace-Lorraine. Another part of Captain Mulstre's testimony proved to be In favor of Dreyfus. In contradiction of other witnesses who declared that Dreyfus frequently stayed late at the olllce pry ing Into other ofllcers" duties. Captain Malstre said that Dreyfus was disin clined to work nnd often left the ofllces before the regular time. The prisoner, in n clnm tnno. rnniin.i to Captain Malstre's allegations, and added with reference to M. Beaure palr's accusations that the latter's im morality would ero long be demonstrat ed before the court martial. The court tnen rose for the day. Mnltre Labori was immediately sur rounded by friends and almost every one In the room tried to shake hands with him. He was cheerful and smll In: and had a few well-chosen words for every one. The lawyer returned home In a car riage, as he had come, with an escort of two mounted gendarmes. Police men, gendarmes and detectives were also distributed along tho road ns a precaution against a fresh outrage. NEW LAWS FOR ALASKA. Territorial Convention to Be Held In Juneau to Frame Them.

KRUGER MAKES NO DEFINITE REPLY SITUATION THOUGHT TO BE MORE HOPEFUL. War Ammunition Consigned to the South African Republic Is Still Detained by the Portugese in Dela gon Bay Distribution of Mausers Still Going On Tho Exodus of Miners Continues. Pretoria, Aug. 22. It Is ascertained on the highest authority that no de finite reply has been sent to the pro posal of the British secretary of state for tho colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamber lain, to submit to u Joint commission of Inquiry the effect upon the Outland ers of the recent franchise reforms. The precise situation Is that as a e sult of the Pour Parlors, a communi cation was despatches yesterday to Sir Alfred Mllner, British high com missioner in South Africa and gov ernor 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 Is understood from unoill clnl sources of Information that the alternative proposals of the Transvaal government are for a. five years' fran chise nnd a one fifth representation of the Outlanders in the first rnad, pro viding tlie Imperial government does not further Interfere In tho Internal affairs of the Trnnsvnul. Ofllclal circles at present regard tho situation ns tending to Improve. The war ammunition consigned to the South African republic is still de tained by the Portugese authorities In Delagoa bav. Johannesburg, Aug. 22. The Held cornets are busy distributing Mausers and ammunition to the burghers. Tho exodus of miners continues. Pretoria, Aug. 22. The government of the Transvaal has received a com munication from the governor of Lour enzo Marques relative to the stoppage of arms there, to the effect that Portu gal' obligations to all nations. In cluding Great Britain require the en (forefcmon of the TraifsvatVl-I'ortiqT gese treaty, and, as an unsatisfactory explanation existed as to the trans portation of arms they were stopped at Delagoa bay, and until the terms of the treaty arc complied with. There Is no doubt the matter will ultimately be arranged satisfactory. THE TRACK WAS FAST. Straight Heats in the Grand Circuit Knees. P.eadvllle. Mas., Aug. 22.

THE NUMEROUS LETTERS Documents by tho Score in Hands of Senator Quny Tho One Cnndidnte Who Hns the Weight of Indorse ment from the Bench, Bnr nnd People The Result of the Conven tion Difficult to Foretell Until More Delegntes Shnll Hnve Arrived. Judge Archbald's Candidacy Will Be Pushed by All Honorable Means. Ildltorlal Correspondence. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 22. The situ ation with respect to Judge Archbald's candidacy Is simply this: It has tho unmistakable Indorsement of represen tative public opinion ns expressed In letters and telegrams from every sec tion of the commonwealth. More than ti bushel basket full of these missives are now In the possession of Senator Quay. The conversation of prominent leaders, except when deflected by local necessities, Is almost unanimous In favor of Judge Archbald's nomination. He Is the one candidate among those whose names have figured In the pub lic discussion of candidates who has the preponderating weight of Indorse ment from the bar, from prominent Jurists and from the Intelligent opin ion of those whose Judgment merits respect In the filling of a position upon the Supremo bench of the state. He Is supported in considerable number by the delegates who will sit In Thurs day's convention and the votes cast for him will honestly reflect the best in telligence and tho prevalent desire of the Republican masses. This being true, will ho be nomi nated? The answer cannot be given with ussurance until a larger percent age of the delegates shall have ar rived on the spot. Only a small frac tion of the total membership of the convention is now in the city, but It would bo Idle to deny that the conven tion Is In Senator Quay's control and reports would Indicate that Quay has decided that the nomination shall go to J. Hay IJrown. It is true that tho uniform precedent of years calls for the nomination of a sitting magistrate, while Hrown Is an attorney In active practice. It is true that many of tho best friends of Senator Quny have pointed out to him the disadvantages of decreeing a nomination not called for by any representative popular de mand. It Is true that the Influences said to be behind the candidacy of Mr. Brown are Influences which have fre quently been hostllo to the senator and are today considered to be unreliable In their promises of future support. All these things are admitted to be true and vet the talk of Brown con tinues. The name of Judge Archbald will go before the convention and the strong est effort will be made which can bo made by honorable means to secure his nomination. If this should succeed, well and good; if It shall fall, it will leave among his supporters the con sciousness of having done their best. They Intend to locate the responsibility- Llvy s. Richard. FEW LEADERS ON HAND. Headquarters Established for Judge Archbald nnd Mr. Pnlmer. By Associated Prevsi. Harrisburg, Aug. 22. There Is little to Indicate tonight that tho state Re publican convention will nssemblo within forty-eight hours to nominate candidates for the sin to ofllces to be filled in November. Only a few of tho party leaders have put In an appear ance nnd none of th delegntes will reach here before tomorrow, when the state committee meets to make up tho roll. Senator Holes Penrose hns been on the ground since Monday nrrang lng the preliminaries with State Chair man Elkin nnd Vice Chairman Kyre. Secretary Jero 13.

MRS. EYLER'S ILLNESS. Probably Caused by Prospects of Arrest for Cruelty. Trenton, X. J., Aug. 22. Managing Trustee Cook, of the Girls' Industrial school, today called nn the governor and showed him a letter from Trustee Carter, who Is In the Adirondack mountains. In which Mr. C.irter offers to resign If the governor deslre3 him to do so. Mr. Cook made no offer of his own resignation nnd the governor did not request It. Mr. Cook said that Mrs. Byler was still confined to her bed. but that she Is not dangerously 111. 'President Bishop, of the Paterson So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, reached Trenton this after noon and went before n Justice or the peace and left a sworn statement of Sadie Wiseman, n former Inmate of the school, charging Mrs. Kyler with cruel ty. President Bishop then went to City hospital to get another sworn statt -mont from Katie Rarlow, nnothor In mate of tho school. A formal com plaint will then be sworn to by Mr. Bishop and u warrant will be issued for Mrs. Kyier's arrest. Inasmuch as Mrs. Eyler Is sick, her appearance be fore the Justice will bo waived until she recovers. At the City hospital Mr. Bishop was refused permission to see Katie Bar low. The refusal wus made under orders from Dr. Witt, the physician In charge. Mr. Bishop then returned to Justice .Mills' olllce and swore out a warrant for Mrs. Kyier's arrest for cruelty to Katie Barlow. Tho com plaint wns sworn to on Information and bellof based on statements pre viously made by the girl. No warrant was sworn out In the Sadie Wiseman case, because it was discovered that the alleged cruel treatment occurred more than two years ago and was shut out by the statute of limitation. The warrant In the Katie Barlow case will be given to a constable In the morning to serve. Owing to Mrs. Kyier's Illness she will probably not be actually arrested, but will bo notified to appear before the justice for a hearing. Munnglng Trustee Cook late this evening consented to resign. His re signation will go Into effect upon the appointment of nil the members of the new board. The governor this evening selected two of tho new members of- the bnnni. They are John B.

FILIPINOS BRACE UP Recent Overwhelming: De feats Have Not Dis couraged Them.

Otis Howitzes Ammunition Useless Supplies Be ing Tnken from Maniln to Aguln nldo's Forces. Manila. Aug. IP. (via Hong Kong,, Aug. 22.) The Filipino rebels appear to retain much more of a fighting spirit than might be expected after their defeats recently nt Snn Fernando, and the "drubbings" General Lawton gavo them In the south. Having abandoned San Fernnndo af ter a feeble struggle, the Insurgentfl entrenched themselves nt Angeles, working for several dnys nnd Impress ing non-coinbatants Into the work, thxia saying the armed men for the fighting. They engaged Lieutenant Colonel Smith's regiment and the artillery warmly for four hours, making one of the most stubborn resistances of tho campaign. In the province of Cavlte, where It was supposed the rebels had been scattered nnd demoralized be yond recuperation, they have asscm bled an army of several thousand men, which Is distributed among the Impor tant towns from the lake to the bay. After the San Fernando engagement rebels nttempted to dissuade the Amer icans from a further advunco north ward by menacing the railroad com munication. Several hundred of Gen. Plo del Pllnr's men crossed tho Rio Grande, between the American out post towns, and threatened Ballnag, Qulnqun nnd other places with small American garrisons, while, during Sunday and Monday nights, smaller bands tried to tear up the railroad track at several points between Blgaa. and Mnlolns. Reinforcements of American troops, however, wore sent along tlie railroad from Manila to San Fernando, while the forces nt Ballting nnd Qulnqun sallied out against Gen. Plo del Pllar's men, and the rebels wero easily driven away. In tho brushes, however, the Ameri cans during the three days lost several men. Press Censorship.
