Dreyfus' Dramatic Arraignment-The
Prisoner Deathly Pale and Under Strain.
RRNNEs, France, Aug. s.-When
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
yesterday afternoon she found him
hopeful, but much unnerved, as the
vigorous examination, and especially the
unfeeling demeanor displayed toward
him by Colonel Jouast, proved q tre-
mendols strain upon him.
! There are many persons who were
present at the trial now under the i'm
preston the harshness of the presiding
Judge was assumed and was intended to
dlsarln the enemies of Dreyfus, who are
only anxious to interpret ordinary cour-
tesy into the grossest partiality toward
the prisoner If this be the case and
such an explanation is quite plausible,
Dreyfus is naturally unaware Of it and
the effect upon his highly strung nerves
must be very severe.
A meeting of the correspondents Of
foreign papers was held last evening to
protest against the manner in which
they have been treated in the distribu-
ton of tickets to the trial The English
and American press men, who are the
greatest sufferers, taking the leading
part i'll the proceedings, which ended in
a decision to make the strongest repre-
sentations i'll the proper quarters In fa-
vor OF an amelioration of the conditions.
Several prominent English and Amer
lean Journals were virtually excluded
from the session in favor of insignificant
continental sheets.

GERS stood on their feet. some mounting
benches to obtain a better view. There
were subdued cries of ..Sit down. !, amid
