SAVED Bl HIS war;
But For Her Dreyfus Would‘
Have Killed Himself.
HE AGAIN BREAKS DOWN IN COURT.
»- Dramatic Scenes at Rennes Yester-
day—Captain Lebrun-Renault Tes-
, titles—The Mysterious M. Well
Once Again In Evidence.
RENNES, Sept. 1.-—-Dreyfus has had
the most trying day he has yet gone
through. The strain proved too great for
him, and for the second time in the
inverse of the trial he gave way to his
readings and sought‘relief in tears. The
generals have branded him as a traitor
befare- the court, their subordinates have
pointed". the finger of scorn at him, but he
only-once liinched-when the olficial re-
port lofzh’is treatment on Devil's island
was readbetiore him and the picturesof
his-sulferings, mental and physical, were
thrown vividly on the screen of his mem-
ory. Then he hid his features and wept.
He passed through another such crisis
yesterday when, after Captain chrun-
Renault and witness after witness had
brought up before him again that cold
January morning which ushered in the
scene of his degradation, Major Forzineb
tl,-1 a man of heart, told in simple words
and unaffected manner the story of Drey-
fus’ struggle'with the maddening tempta-
tion .to take hls~life and the intervention
of his wife as an angel, pointing out the
road ofduty. Then again the prisoner’s
breast: harmedl with emotion, and tear
drops trickled down his cheeks. He rose,
mad, after a forced effort to remain calm
g§ h}; spoke a few words concerning his
denial to Colonel du Paty de Clam that
$6) wrote the bordereau, he turned to
rzinetti with a look of thanks for his
consolation, so needed. Dreyfus then
uttered‘. these words of heartfelt gratitude
to his wife for the courage with which
she inspired him:
“It is due to her,” he cried, “that I am
alive today.”
The prisoner could articulate no more,
but sat down abruptly to conceal his dis-
tress.
The proceedings concluded a few min-
utes later, and he was taken back to his
prison, where his wife visited him, and,
in the presence of Mme. Dreyfus and the
gendarme on guard, he broke down com‘
pletely. The tension had been too much
for him. He sobbed convulsively, and
the partner of his sorrows joined him in
D. solace of tears.
Captain Lebrun-Renault and the sup-
porters of his assertion of the Dreyfus
confession had an innings lasting nearly
the entire session, their depositions con-
firming little but what has already been
statedibefore- the court of cassation.
Captain Lebrun-Renault introduced the
new assertion that the fact that he had
not related the incident of the confession
to President Ca‘simir-Perier was because
he overheard himself called “canaille,”
‘fcurw and “traitor” while waiting at
theEliysee. He, however, could not ex-
plain why he kept this to himself for so
long a time instead of recounting the in-
cident before the court of cassation. Nor
did his explanation as to why he de-
stroyed the page of his notebook contain-
ing-the record of Dreyfus’ confession
sound very convincing.
. ; he other witnesses were a repetition
of Captain Lebrun-Renault. But a very
significant question was put to Colonel
Guerin by a member of the court, Lieu-
tenant Colonel Brongniart, who sits at
Colonel Jouaust’s right hand and always
puts pointed questions. He has thorough-
ly studied the Dreyfus case and is re-
puted to be one of the best authorities
on the case. It is certain Colonel Jou-
aust consults him frequently during the
proceedings. Brongniart is said to be a
rabid anti-Dreyfusard, and he. in a quiet
tone, asked Colonel Guerin if he thought
M. W'eil, who is a friend of Esterhazy,
also knew Dreyfus. 'lhe latter at once
rose and declared he had never before
heard of Wei]. The point of this ques-
tion was that Esterhazy has written to
Colonel Jouaust, as announced, and has
undoubtedly mentioned \‘Veil as a go be-
tween for Dreyfus. If relations can be
proved between Dreyfus and VVeil, and
Esterhazy adml'ts obtaining treasenable
informationlfrom W'eil. then he could as-
sume Dr‘e‘y‘fiis'was a traitor. The gener-
als, if sufficient evidence of a Dreyfus-
Weil-Esterhazy connection can be pro-
duced, can abandon the contention that
Dreyfus wrote the bordereau and admit
Ester-hazy is the author of it. This is
possibly the change of tactics on the part
of the generals which has been hinted at
recently. —
It. is reported that Generals Mercier.
Roget and Grouse and M. Cavaignac, who
are staying quietly at the house of a
friend, some miles outside Rennes, met
yesterday at General Mercie'r's house and
discussed the evidence Colonel Schwarz-
koppen‘s housekeeper, Mme. Battian,
could give it she were subjected to a
severe examination, with the result that
it-was decided her evidence was not con-
elusive enough to. justify summoning her
as a witness for the prosecution.
'l‘ravel Pay Reduced,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.——The dis-
covery of a shorter route between Ma-
nila and the United States has had rath-
er- a depressing effect upon some of the
troops, as it reduces their travel pay.
The old route was 8,050 miles, but of
late the transports have. cut off the 700
miles required by touching at Honolulu.
Some of the soldiers at Manila had re
ceived travellpay on the basis of the old
route, but part of the first payment has
been refunded to the paymasters. This
applied only to those soldiers at Manila
who rev-enlisted anzY received the travel
pay to which they would have been enti—
tled if they had returned to the United
States.
They Like Our Transport Service.
\VASI-IINGTON, Sept. 1.—.—The superi-
ority of the United States transport serv-
ice has so far commended itself to the
French government that Captain Vignal,
the military attache of the French em-r
bassy, has been instructed to'make an in-
vestigation of the plans of our transports
with a view of imprdv’ing the French
. transport system. He. has asked permis-
sion to copy the plans of the American
vessels, and as these are generally known
there has. been no objection to the re-
quest. ____

The Phenomenon With the Ones Dies
of Consumption In Mexico.
'RROGRESO Mexico, Sept. 1.—The
phenomenal career of Frank Ives, the
Napoleon of billiards, is ended.
Coming into public notice with the sud-
den brilliance of a champion who had
none of the intermediate steps to pass
through, when all the present billiard
celebrities were all before the public, he
died before any one of them.
His death occurred here yesterday
from tuberculosis. It had been expected
' for several days.
Consumption made its appearance 18
months ago. Ives and his wife imme-
diately went to the Adirondacks seeking
relief. from the blighting malady. After
a sojourn in the northern mountains the
Academy. It was evident then to those
who watched his painful efforts that
Ives’ days were numbered.
In January he played Slosson in Chica-
go at the Central Music hall, defeating
him for the championship. The progress
of the disease was very rapid, and Ives
started with his wife for Mexico by the
advice of physicians, going by way of
Havana. Reaching Havana he was so
weak that it was impossible to proceed
on his way.
Not until a few days ago was be strong
enough to resume his trip to this city.
He Was at the point of death when he
arrived here, and died in a few hours.

Mrs. Lungtry Makes a. Hit.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—Mrs. Langtry’s
appearance at the Haymarket theater
last evening in Sydney Grundy’s new
comedy, "The Degenerates,” was a de-
cided success. She daringly portrayed
what are generally understood to be
scenes taken from her own life. The
realism of the initial act is so intense,
bringing in, as it does, all the scandals
associated with her name, that the unan—
imous comment at the close of the per-
formance was, “It is good, but she is
awfully brave to do it.” Mrs. Lapgtry
acted better than ever before, seeming to
throw herself thoroughly into the spirit
of the comedy, which bristles with epi-
grams, but is occasionally vulgar. Mr.
Grundy‘s usual clever dialogue met with
the usual appreciation. It is probable
that “The Degenerates” will be taken to
the United States in the course of a few
months. '
The Dewey Home Fund.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—-Frank A.
Vanderlip, chairman of the Dewey home
fund, and Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer,
yesterday issued the following statement
to the public regarding the fund: “The
Dewey‘home fund now exceeds $21,000
in the hands of the treasurer from 27,095
contributors, with sums aggregating
about $15,000 or $18,000 reported as
subscribed still held by local committees
and subscribers. Delay has occurred in
raising the fund by reason of published
rumors that Admiral Dewey has declined
to accept the proposed gift. The com-
mittee has never received any declination
from him and, on the contrary, has every
reason 'to believe that he will accept as a
gracious and precious testimonial a home
purchased for him in the name of so
many of his admiring fellow citizens.”

To Study A‘bundoned Fann’s‘l.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—-Secretary
of Agriculture \Vilson is arranging for
an exhaustive scientific investigation of
the abandoned farms of New England
with a view to their reclamation. He
has had many letters from New England
inviting his attention to this subiect and
has resolved to send several of the scien-
tists of the department thither to make a
study of the conditions. Later the secre-
tary himself will make a personal inspec-
tion. Without having investigated the
conditions Secretary Wilson inclines to
the opinion that the abandoned farms in
New England have been deprived of
phosphates, potash, nitrogenous matter
and the other essential ingredients of
production by unscientific farming and.
that by careful culture the fertility of
the soil can be restored. A soil physicist
will be dispatched to make a careful
analysis of the soil to determine exactly
what it lacks. T e secretary thinks that.
the planting of rasses, legumes, clover,
etc., will restore the nitrogen and that
phosphates can be had by the introducd
tion of domestic animals. Potash must
be purchased. The secretary is vet:
sanguine in his belief that science can
reclaim these once fertile but long aban‘
doned farms.

Negro Longsh'oI-e‘in'e‘X’iSifilES. ‘
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 31.—
TWO hundred negro longshoremen em-
ployed at the Chesapeake and Ohio piers
went on strike. There are about 600
colored men and only 53 white men en-
gaged in the work of loading and un-
loading the Chesapeake and Ohio stelm‘
ers. Recently the negroes organized a
local union branch of the National
League of Longshoremen. The whites
refused to unite with them, but applied
for a charter for a separate organiza:
tion. The colored union prevented them
from getting the charter and gave notice
30 days ago that they would walk out
unless the nonunion Whites were dis-
charged. No heed was given to their
threat by the company. The 30 days
expired, and the negroes carried their
threat into. execution.

The gameof whist originated in Eng‘

from the older game of triumph, or
trump, which was played as early as
1350. In fact, in that year sermons
were preached denouncing the game
of! the truths of religion. In 1421 whist
is first mentioned in English literature.
