 in the Testimony.

crowds and demonstrations at the trial of M. Zola and Perreux. The force of the republican guards around the court was increased to four companies.
 It was announced today that Gen. Elliot, minister for war. has instituted proceedings against M. Courant, the barrister who, at the close of the proceedings in court yes- terday, was arrested for shouting: Down with the commanding officers.''
 Col. Picquart, who was recalled, said he believed Gen. Pellieux had not thought it incumbent upon him to order the Borde- reau to be submitted to expert examna- tion for the purposes of the Esterhazy in- quiry, and, the witness added, Maj. Ravary doubtless unwittingly took the same course and founded his judgment on incomplete and inadequate documents
 M. Henri, who was recalled. said that document was on the table when IaBlols visited Col. Picquart.
 M. LaBorie pointed out contradictions in M. Henris evidence and Maj. Ravarys re- port, whereupon M. Henri advanced excit- edly upon M. LaBorle and shouted: II will not toearte your casting suspicion upon my evidence"
 Picquart Has Lied.
 Col Picquart protested against M. Henrfs language, whereupon the latter shouted:
 
 this matter" (Uproar)
 Col. Picauart addressed the jury. He said:
 You have heard Nj. Henri, Major Lauth and Major Paty Du Clam bring abomi- nable charges against me. All the steps I took in this matter have not been for gotten. I believed it was expedient to in troduce light and justice into the affair, in which I was overwhelmed with insults. I am the victim of good faith, and l have +, tnfxr sNfrt ann for my attachment to the cause l con- slider just"
 There were heated discussions in the Hobbies today, the Zolaists claiming that today's evidence might result in a revision of the Dreyfus case and the anti-Zolaists on the contrary, claiming that Maitre de Mange had not furnished any proof
 In view of the possibilities of a demon- stration, three and half squadrons or cavalry were stationed in the Rue Droute, the Maire Clestin and the Chateau dAy barracks.
 A Brave Man,
 On the resumption of the tral M. Ranc, a prominent newspaper man, testified that M Zola was struck by the partiality shown at the Esterhazy courtmartial and he classed M. Zola's article as being the act of "a great-hearted, brave man."
 M. Jaures, the socialist deputy, fol- lowed He criticised the government gen. orally and attributed the secrecy at the Esterhazy courtmartial to the necessity for concealing the contradictions in the opinions of the experts in 1891 and 1o97 on the Bordereau.
 Continuing, M. Jaures charged the gen. eral staff with connivance with Maj. Es- terhazy, adding that the only object of the courtmartiaa seemed to be to justify him.
 The socialist deputy iauded M. Zola for "denouncing his maligners and persecut- o,.c,, nd stdrauiDsp the staff from its miserable irresponstbility which is pavng the way for future disasters"
 Ths remark caused a tumult in which cheering and groans were mingled.
 Court was then adjourned till Monday. The crowd acclaimed the officers and there were a. few scuffles, but nothing serious occurred.
 Duel to Follow
 It is reported Col. Picquart has sent his seconds to M. Henri on account of the lat ters accusation that the colonel lied.
 Upon arriving at his residence, M. Zoia was mobbed by a crowd, who assailed him with insulting and abusive epithets, but the police quickly dispersed the crowd. The latest movement of the anti-Zola agitators is signalling with a whistle which quickly brings together a mob of professonal row dies when Zola is near. It is reported thae when tN excitement shall have abated the sentence of Dreyfus will be submitted to the supreme court of Casstion, the 1ur1s- dfction of which extends to courtmartiai when martial law has not been proclaimed. The secret document, the report says. will be submitted to these law lords in Camara.
 Zola Is Safety
 The question of Zola's personal safety IS seriously exercising his friends, who as- sert that several notorious criminals have been seen lowering about the court building throughout the week.
 It is suggested that they have been law ishly bribed to injure Zola seriously, even if they do not kill him. .
 The grave feature of the situation is the incursion of mob laws inside and outside the Palais de Justice. Every dwelling of the Rothschilds is guarded as if it were powder magazine.
 It is expected that the trial will be con- cluded on Thursday next. It appears that there are certain flaws in the proceedings which may entitle M Zola to appeal to the supreme court.
