Witnesses Before the Court Favor
able to Capt. Dreyfus.
Paris, April S.-The Figaro, continuing
this morning its publication of the evil
dence offered before the Court Of Cassa-
ton, gives the deposition of Maj. Hart
man, of the Twenty-second Artillery, call
ed as a witness for the defense.
He testified that the cannon of 120-cali-
bre was not new in 1894, but was adopted
an 1896, and that one foreign power has de-
tails concerning it. The manual of firing
instructions also was not confidential, he
deposed and many officers and civilians
were acquainted with it.
Some artillery regiments were unable to
obtain copies and had them printed by the
regimental printing presses.
Mai. Hartman pointed out that Count
Esterhazy was present at the maneuvers
Of masses of artillery of the Chalons
Champs, and that he probably, while there
saw the firing of the 120-calibre gun. The
witnesses cOntended that it was impossible
for the bordereau to have been written by
an artillery officer, either Dreyfus or any
other.

THE GOOD THAT THE TRUSTS DO.
As Seen After Considerable study by
MIR. II. Il. Thurber.

Washington, April 7.-Nr. +. b. Thur
Der, president Of the United States Ex-
port Associati ton, in testifying as to trusts
before the Industrial commission to-day
took positive grounds in support Of trusts,
saying that he had at first been prejudieed
against them, believing that they would
oppress the public with high prices.
Il had" he said, mo conception that
they were natural economic development
consequent on the development OF the
great forces which now control the world
steam. electricity ana machinery-Or thnt
there was any national basis for their
existence But a careful study Of their
effect, ranging over period of years, has
materially modified my opinion
Taking up the history of trusts, he said
they began with the consolation of the
railroads into trunk lines. lie said the
fear had been that the combinations would
result in exorbitant rates for transporta
tion, but this had not proved TO be the
case He quoted figures to show that on
the contrary there had been a reduction.
The entire transportation performed by
railroads of the United States during the
twelve years ending June 80. 1894, was
equivalent to moving 1856. 799 677 ,S22 passen-
gers and S07, ,935. 49,, ,S3S IONS of freight one
mile Had rates averaging as high as
those of 1882 been collected on this traf-
fic the railroads would have earned ST.
629, ,0l3, 459 more than they actually re-
ceived.
Under the consolidation effected by the
Standard Oil Company, oil had deprecated
in price from 25.7 cents Per gallon in 1871
TO 81 cents in 1898, and similar condi-
tion was shown as the result of the forma-
tion of the sugar trust due to the pur-
chase of the raw material al a cheaper
rate than individual hsiiners could get it,.
Mr. Thurber suggested that these are
but types of many in Che evolution Of in
dustTies.
That there have been instances Of hard
ship and injustice attending this revolu-
tion cannot be doubted" he admitted,
but it is equally certain that the total
results have been beueficial to the public
at large and TO the interests of The la bor-
ing classes especially who constitute the
majority.
In other words, the profits Of capital
have been steadily decreasing while those
of labor, especially organized labor, have
steadily Increased"

CHATTANOOGA and Galveston Also
Remembered by the Executive in
Naming Warships.
Washington, April THE President to-
day named the twelve new warships re-
Gently provided for by Congress as follows:
Battleships-Georgia New Jersey, Penn
sylvania.
Armored cruisers-West Virginia, Ne
braska, California.
Cruisers-Denver, Des Moines, Chatta-
nooga. Galveston, Tacoma, Cleveland.
This settles a spirited rivalry which has
been going on between the several states
and cities Petitions by the hundred have
been flowing in to the White House and
navy department ever since the new ships
we're provided for, urging the merits of
the various names.
The President ana Secretary Long en-
loved the good-natured contest and in
making the final determination, considera-
ton was given, not only to the urgency
Of the influence brought to bear, but also
to the several sections of the country.
Georgia did not petition the navy depart
ment, and il is believed that the choice
Of a Southern state was due to a desire
by the President to compliment those with
whom he visited in his recent trips to Sa-
yannah, Atlanta and Thomasville.
Description of the Georgia.
The battleships Georgia, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey are described in the act
authorizing them as follows:
Three sea-going coast line battleships,
carrying the heaviest armor and most pow
erful ordnance for vessels of their class
having a trial displacement of about 13 500
tons, to be sheathed and coppered, and TO
have the highest practicable speed, and
greatest radius of action, and to cost ex-
elusive of armor and armament, not ex-
oeading $3,6OOOOO each.
The armored cruisers are similarly des-
cribed, except that they are TO cost $4,000 =
000 each, and are to have a displacement
of 1900 tons
The cruisers Denver, Cleveland and 9TH
ers are described as protected cruisers of
about $500 tons displacement, and to be
sheathed and coppered, and TO have the
highest speed compatible with good cruis-
ing qualities, great radius of action, and
to carry the most powerful ordnance suited
10 vessels of their class, and to cost, ex-
elusive of armament, not exceeding 81, Ill.,

SOUTHERN PROBABLY HAS 1T.
Reports of the Purchase of the
Louisville Air Line,


Atlanta Ca. April 7.-The inspection
trip which President Samuel Spencer and
Vice Presidents Finley and Cannon of
the Southern made IN Thursday over the
Louisville Air Line is taken as confirma-
tion of the reports that the Southern has
secured control of that property.
The Air Line is the shortest line be-
tween Louisville and ST. Louis and 1t gives
the Southern a strong route from the West
to the Southeast Indeed, it is the only
through line, or win be when consolidation
occurs, controlled by one system between
st. Louis and the South Atomic Sea-
board.
The great value OF the new system to
the Southern will be in the handling of
traffic between the West and the South
east For example, If the Southern should
undertake TO enter The export grain car
rying trade, It would have a strong route
by way of Atlanta to Brunswick. This
would be shorter rail haul than from st.
Louis TO New York.
1t is not unlikely that the Southern will
bid for the grain and meat of the West,
carrying il to Brunswick for shipment
across the ocean.
Many things point to some important
changes in the railroad map of the south
east this year. All the large systems are
watching each other and they are all play
ing for position.
