THETRIiLATRENNES
' Dreyfus’ Counsel Are Satisfied
With Proceedings.
OPEN SESSIONS RESUMED TOMORROW
Anti-Dreyfusards Rely Upon General
Mereier and Expect a Dramatic
Scene When He Testifies—The
Prisoner’s Friends Confident.
RENNES, France, Aug. 11.—Maitre
Demauge, the principal counsel of Cap—
tain Dreyfus, in an interview with a
press representative after yesterday’s
session, expressed himself as very well
contented with the way in which matters
are proceeding, and, judging from his
manner, one may say that the defenders
of the accused have not yet met any-
thing very surprising or alarming for
him in the secret dossier.
Naturally 1‘. aitre Demsngn declined to
give any particulars respecting the con-
tents of the dossier, but he declared that
he and his colleague, Maitre Lairori, were
. satisfied of the conscientious desire of the
members of the court to thrash the whole
matter out and have full light upon the
accusations against their client.
This will take some time, and the end
of the month will be reached before judg-
ment can be given. Meanwhile the strain
is telling on Dreyfus, who is showing
evident physical distress.
Tomorrow’s public session will be a
veritable field day, probably the most im-
portant and exciting ’day of the whole
trial, as General Mercier and M. Casimir-
Peri'er have been cited to give their testi-
mony then.
The first witness will be Lieutenant
Colonel de la Roche Vernct, French mili-
tary attache in Berlin at the time of the
arrest of Dreyfus. His evidence, it is ex-
pected. will be soon disposed of, and then
General Mercicr will be called.
A. dramatic scene is anticipated by the
anti—Dreyfusards, who rely upon him to
throw a bombshell and confound the ac-
cused once for all.
The Dreyfusards believe that his testi-
mony will be torn to pieces by Maitres
Labori and Demange and that he will
leave the court utterly discredited.
Captain Dreyfus will have the right to
ques-Li‘éh'him, and it is expected that the
iatter’s-oross examination of Mercier will
prove thug-climax of the whole proceed-

: Wiiat-the'Borderenu Contains.
’ LONDON, Aug. 11.——-The Times says:
"‘YVe are in a position to state that, in
addition. to communications of slight
‘value'enumcrated in the bordereau, more
than 160 documents of considerable im-
portance were furnished to the German
attache in Paris, Colonel Schwarzkop-
pen, at various times by Estérhazy, act-
ing as intermediary for and accomplice of
the late Lieutenant Coloneljlenry.
“She of these documents contained de-
tailed information relative to the general
plan of mobilization for the French army.
“The proceeds of this trafiic were divid-
ed“ between Esterhazy and Henry. In
Parisian diplomatic circles the latter was
known to be the real traitor for several
months before his arrest and suicide, and,
besides the power most directly concern-
cd—namely, Germany, more than one
European government received informa-
lion. to this effect eagly in 1898.”

The Bridgeport Inquest.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 11.-—The
third session of the coroner’s inquiry in-
to the trolley catastrophe of last Sun-
day developed some sensat‘onal evidence.
The feature of the inquest was the testi—
mony of an electrical expert to the ef-
fect that the electrical equipment of the
wsecked car had been tampered with
since the accident and the" testimony of
another witness as to the repairs that
were made near the bridge the morning
after the disaster and before the coro-
ner’s jury examined it. The latter wit-
ness exhibited some views which he took
at the time showing the company’s men
lumping. dirt along the track at the
northern end of the bridge. The coro~
her and jury visited the hospital and
took the statements of three of the in-
jmred, which, however, failed to bring
out anything new as to the cause of
the accident.

eral policy of ._extr:1dition between this

THE PREMIER FRIENDLY.
Sir Wilfrld Denies the Truth of the
Recently Published Interview.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-—In a personal
letter to H. H. Kohlsaat of the Chicago
Times-Herald Sir \V‘ilfrid Laurier, the
Canadian premier. denies the truth of an
interview recently given out by F. W.
Fitzpatrick of the treasury department
at W ashington, in which Mr. Fitzpatrick
asserted that Premier Lauricr had stated
to him he would not accept an invitation
to the Chicago autumn festival, believing
the somewhat strained relations between
the two countries might result in some
unpleasant incident during his visit. In
his let er Premier Laurier says:
“You are at liberty to say that I have
paid. no attention to an interview pub-
lished recently in a Washington paper
in which the reporter purported to give
to the public words not spoken to him by
me, but to somebody else. Life is too short
for a busy man to take notice of this kind
or any kind of hearsay evidence. If I had
any communication to make to the public
I would prefer to make it directly and in
my own words.
“It seems to me that I need hardly add
that the invitation of the Chicago au-
thorities will receive from me the most
courteous consideration."
