children of our borough who may bo between

found both the ofllco and tho truant offico

Uennafi, France, Aug. 11. The mem
lers of tho Dreyfus court martini yes
terday took the testimony of MM.
Chamoln and I'alelogue. The former
was examined from G:30 to 0:30 and
the latter whs on the stand from 9:30
to 11:45 a. m.. when the court ad
journed until today, when it will con
c ude fie examination of the secret
doseler.
Tho police-adopted the same methods
of precaution as on Wednesday, and
there was only the smallest gathering
of spectators. Captntn Dreyfus was
ullowed to walk to and from tbo Lycee
without his usual escort of four or six
gendarmes. Only a captain of gen
darmes was with him, and this officer
walked a few stops behind the pris
oner.
Saturday's public session will bs n,
veritable field day, probably tho most
important and oxcitlng day of tho
whole trial, as General Mercier nnd
M. Cnslmir-Perlor have been cited to
givo their tostlmony thon.
The first witness will bo Lieutenant
Colonel Do la Roche Vernot, French
military attache in Ilorlln at the tltm)
of the arrest of Droyfus. His evi
dence, it is expected, will be soon dis
posed of, and then General Mercier will
bo called.
A dramatic Bcene is anticipated by
the anti-Dreyfusltes, who roly upon
him to throw a bombshell nnd con
found the accused once for all. His
words, "I havo complete proofs of tho
guilt of Dreyfus," aro roraembored, and
both sides are waiting for him to
prove his statement.
Tho Droyfusltes believe that his tes
timony will bo torn to pieces by MM.
Labori and Demango, and that he will
loave the court utterly discredited.
Captain Dreyfus will havo tho right
to question him, and It Is expected that
the lattor's cross examination of Mer
cier will prove tho climax of tho whole
proceedings.
Former President Casimlr-Perier
will follow. If possible, tho same day.
but It is doubtful whether his exam
ination will be concluded beforo court
adjourns until Monday.

tho Mn.lor.
London, Aug. 11. Tho Timos says:
We nre in a position to state that. In
addition to communications of slight
value enumerated in the bordereau,
more than ICO documents of consider
able importance were furnished to the
Gorman attache in Paris, Colonel
Schwarzhoppcn, at various times by
Esterhazy, acting as intermediary for
and accomplice of tho late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry.
One of these documents contained
detailed information relative to tho
genoral plan of mobilization for the
French army. The proceeds of this
trafllo were divided between Esterhazy
and Henry. In Parisian diplomatic
circles tho latter was known to be tho
real traitor for several months beforo
his arrest and suicide, and besides tho
power most directly concerned, namo
ly Germany, more than one European
government received Information to
this effect early in 1S9S.
In an edito.ui bu&iu upon tho fore
going important information Tho
Times says:
"It is hard to Imagine anything in
the whole of romance to equal tho se
quence of events whereby a traitor who
has beon betraying tho most vital in
terests of his country to a foreign
power should, after contriving to fix
suspicion on an innocent man, and
after securing that man's conviction by
tho eloquence of his denunciation, bo
the very man to bo selected as head
of the secert intelligence department in
order to crush endeavors then begin
ning to be made to discover tho truth.
"The question arises: What gave
this half educated man such power
over his superiors that they wero im
pelled not only to lend tho sanction of
their high authority, but to devote
their whole activity, eloquence and
plighted word of honor to the task of
aiding him In his evil struggle against
the rlgut7 Is it not possible that, with
out confederates whose word would
carry greater influence than his own
Henry could have imposed on tho
simplicity of the whole general stafff
Jt is quite clear that the acquittal
of the unhnppy victim of perhaps the
touiest piot ever aeviseq will close but

internal conflict France has had to
