BRIBESS OFFERED EXPERTS
One Witness in the ZoIa Trial Told
1t Would Re Profitable to
Change

PARIS, Feb 14-The important testi-
mony offered today in the case against
Zola was given by experts and related
to the handwriting of the famous bor-
dereau.
M. Bertillon, thought it impossible to
ask the minister for war for the in
eliminating documents, seized at the
residence of Dreyfus in 1894 which, ac-
cordfng to the testimony of the wit
ness on Saturday last, would enable
him to prove that Dreyfus wrote the
bordereau.
M. Laborie, counsel for M Zola, pro-
tested and twitted M. Bertillon with
being unwilling to testify in court,
while giving interviews to the news
papers.
M. Bertillon said the interviews were
false.
Being pressed by M Laborie, how,
unless he had seen the secret docu-
ments, he was able to prove at the
court martial that Dreyfus wrote the
bordereau, Nj. Bertillon answered that
he could not explain without docu-
mentS which were no longer in his pos
session.
This statement caused sensation in
court, and M. Laborie demanded that
the advocate general compel the wit
ness to reply. The advocate general
made no answer.
Finally M. Bertlllon, who persisted
in not answering questions, left the
witness stand amid considerable up
rear, M. Laborie remarking, land that
is the man upon whose evidence Drey-
fus was convicted"
M. Teyssonieres, another handwrit-
ing expert, testified to identifying the
handwriting of the bordereau as that
of Dreyfus. He added that the fac
simile had been blurred so as to make
it resemble Esterhazy's.
Later the witness created sensation
by testifying that friends of Dreyfus
had approached him and had limited
that it might be worth 100000 to 200, 600
francs if he moderated his views favor
ably to Dreyfus.
M. Yves Guyot, the former minister
of public works, testified that the Es-
terhazy court martial was "a parody
OH Justice" Excitement in court)
The further statement Of M Guyot,
that the inner circles of foreign gov
ernments were fully cognizant of all
that occurred at the Esterhazy court
1rertial, caused a renewed sensation
The crowd outside the court was
much calmer today.
The garrison of Paris has been rein
forced by troops from Versailles.
M. TharieuX, former minister of JUS
tice. threw such suspicion upon all the
evidence given by M Teyssonnieres
that the latter left the bar much dis
credited.
Altogether the day was rather favor
able for NJ. Zola.

CLERGY THREATENS WAR
LOCAL MINISTER'S HELD A VERY
SECRET MEETING YESTERDAY
Candidates for Office This Spring
Will He Asked to support Meas
ures of Reform Against saloon
and Other Evils-Another Meet
Ing Is TO he Held Next Week.

A meeting of the st. Paul ministers
was held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the. Y. M. C. A to consider
better municipal government and
purity in the local administration of
the affairs of the municipal ship Of
state.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. The star chamber session last
ed fully three hours. Three doOrkeep-
ers were posted without to keep out re-
porters and other secular individuals
About sixty local clergymen were
present.
The meeting was opened by w. L..
Wilson, the veteran champion of the
cause of temperance and reform Mr.
Wilson stated that the meeting had
Deen called to take up certain lines Of
work of the Christian Citizenship
league, which could not be continued
without the assistance of the clergy of
st. Paul as a body.
Following Mr. Wilson's outline Of
the objects of the meeting and sugges-
tions advanced. Rev. w. K. Marshall,
presiding elder of the st. Paul diocese
Of the Methodist church, was elected
permanent chairman
The meeting yesterday avoided the
question of supporting any particular
ticket, except that they would pledge
themselves to aggressively support
and pledge himself to assist the move
ment in st. Paul.
The ministers at future sessions will
consider the matter more fully than
was admissible during the session yes
terday afternoon, when the only mat
ters considered were the necessity of a
reform in the present prerogative of
the administration in the local applica-
tion of the municipal laws regulating
the sale of liquor and the running Of
questionable resorts in the city right
under the nose of the authorities.
The stand to be taken by the minis
ters on the question and the means of
getting at the ends were left until the
next meeting.
It was urged that one of the most
important points of attack should be
the common council. To secure the
election of virtuous men to this body
would be one Of the things which the
clergy and Christian Citizenship
league would aim to accomplish.
The outcome of yesterdays meeting
was the appointment of a committee
to look into the merits of the various
reforms proposed and report at the
next meeting of the ministers, which
will be held in the Central Presby-
terian church next Monday morning at
10 o'clock. At this meeting it is eX-
pected that nearly all the ministers In
the city will be present.
Definite steps will be then taken
and their position placed before the
public.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 14.-The
steamer Islander brings news that the
steamer Clara Nevada of Seattle, was
burned in Linn canal, and forty men,
WHO were on board are supposed to
have perished.
On Feb. 5, and when the Islander, which
arrived from Comox this morning,
reached Juneau the Nevada had not ar
rived there
The day that she should have reach
ed Juneau, fire was seen on the waters
of the canal and the opinion is general
that the flames were from a burning
steamer.
Whether the passengers and crew
reached land, or whether they perish
ed Is not known. 1t is feared that they
net with death, as there has been a
terrible wind and snow storm in the
north and small boats could hardly
live. Capt. Irving, of the Islander, re-
ports that the weather has been ter
rifle. The Clara Nevada is command
cd by Capt. C. B. Lewis and her crew
consists Of twenty-eight- men. The
officers are: Pilot Ed Kelly, First Off

Purser Foster Beck, Stewart O'Donnell
and clerk, George Rogers
SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. 14.-An I'M
connrmed report reached here this aft
ernoon that the steamer Clara Nevada,
from Alaska, has been sunk and that
her crew and passengers are lost The
report says that the steamer went down
at Seawart. 1t is stated that people
on shore heard her boiler explode and
saw the vessel on fire as ste went down.
The owners of the vessel had no news
of the reported disaster.
1t cannot be ascertained how many
passengers the Clara Nevada had, as
no report has been received of the
number who took passage at Skaguay
and other points.
The Clara Nevada last summer was
condemned by the government for the
reason she was out of date and was
scld to the Pacific and Alaska Trans
portation company, who had her thor
oughly over-hauled before placing her
in the Alaska line. She was consider
ed perfectly seaworthy.
ASTORIA, Ore, Feb. 14-Bulletin:
The steamship Oregon, which left Dyea
and Skaguay today, was towed back
this evening with her coal bunkers on
fire. The fire is said to be under con-
troll.
The fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion. The damage is very slight
and the Oregon will sail again tomor-
row morning.
