To Try the Charges Brought Against
Count Esterhazy.
Paris. Dec. 4.-The military governor
of Paris, General Saussier, has ordered
a court martial to eNa-nine into the
charges brought against Count Ester
hazy, the retired major of the French
army, who is accused Of writing the
letter which brought about the sentenc-
ing OF Alfred Dreyfus to imprisonment
for life The Journal says that the de-
cision of General Saussier lis based on
the report of General Pellieux, who was
appointed by the minister of war to ex-
anime into the charges brought against
Count Esterhazy, and which were as fol-
lows: So far as Dreyfus is concerned,
the case has been tried, no new facts
have been brought TO life and no new
documents were submitted to justify a
revision Of the trial. In consequence.
there is no ground for proceeding
against Count Esterhazy so far as re-
CARDS the crime of high treason for
which Alfred Dreyfus was condemned.
Later in the day brief official an
nouncement was made of the decision OF
General Saussier regarding the report OF
General Pellieux. 1t was as follows:
General Saussier has ordered court
martial TO be instituted for an investi-
CATION into the affair of Major Esterila-
zy."
Both sides say they are pleased with

Is Coming to Crowd the French Product
in the Markets.
London, Dec. 4-From the British con-
sui reports il appears that Germany is
beginning to seriously rival France as a
champagne exporter. The making Of
sparkling wines in Germany has late
ly been brought to such perfection that
German wines Of all brands now rank
nearly equal with French champagne,
and the price is much lower. Their ex-
port is chiefly to America, Great Brit
ain and eBlgium.
The French method of manufacture
mas been generally adopted in Germany,
this being considered easy, owing to
the fact that the largest champagne
