THE DREYFUs TRIAL.
Outline Of Testimony Presented Before The
Court Martial at Rennes.

The general impression left by We'd
nesday's court martial proceedings is
unfavorable, owing 70 the absence Of
such cross-examinations as M. Labori
would have submitted M. Lebon and M.
Guerin to- and owing to the facts that
General Roget's arguments received no
reply.
Bertullus' testimony was kindly to-
ward Dreyfus in Thursdays proceed
ings. Picquart held his own under a
keen, rapid cross-fre declaring his be-
lief in Dreyfus' innocence and intimatlng
that De Clam was the real culprlt.
Colonel Pcquarts testimony Friday
was of striking character and great i'm
portance. He declared the secret dossier
contained nothing to implicate Dreyfus
and was worthless as evidence against
him. An attempt to confute his testi-
mony failed.
The stage was occupied Saturday sue
cessively by three enemies of Dreyfus.
Major Cuignet, General De Boisdeffre
and General Gonse. who mainly devoted
themselves to reiterating what they
had said in evidence against the pris-
oner, who followed them with COM
posture. But, when the moment came
for him to reply, the prisoner delivered
one of those brief utterances of indigna-
ton which have had such powerful eff
feet.
The evidence presented against Drey-
fus on Monday was weak. Demange lis
concerted several witnesses. Colonel
Jouaust showed his bias against Pic
quart and was hcoted and Kissed by the
audience. There is much disappoint-
ment at the absence of Labori.

Loss Of $4,000, 900 by Fire.

Cripple Creek, Col. Aug. 22.-Fire has
entirely destroyed the business portion
of the city of Victor, causing a loss es-
timated at s2.OO0.OO0. Beginning short
ly after noon, the fire ragged until night,
consuming everything in it's way. 1t
had its origin, it is thought, in the Mer-
chants cafe. A strong wind from the
south famed the flames, and in few
minutes all the surrounding houses We're
afire. Efforts were made to stop the
progress of the flames by blowing up
buildings by means of dynamite, and all
afternoon the hills roared with the ex-
plosions, but the effort was in vain The
first house was built in Victor in Oc-
tober, 1898. In July of the following
year the city was Incorporated and few
years later contained 10000 inhabitants.
That is about its population now

Epoch In Country's Political History.

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The newspapers of

opinion that the fall of DR.. Won MIGUEL

lobe also.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
NeeEs Average Rainfall the Smallest Of The
Season.. Moisture Badly Needed.

Following is statement of the wealth.
err and crop conditions of New England,
compiled from the reports of CORE
spondents throughout the section, for
the week ending Aug. 81:
The weather in New England during
the week was fair in all sections. Ex-
cept dense fogs during two or three days,
mostly In sections. offthe' southern coast
there was abundant sunshine. The fair
weather was favorable to farm work and
outdoor work generally. On account Of
the great need of rain, crops and vege-
ldtion in general made little progress.
ihe weather was excessively warm in
many inland sections. During the fore
part of the week the nights were very
cool, and frosts occurred in some parts of
each state.
Inc temperature ranged decidedly
higher than for the preceding week. The
average for the district was 60 degrees.
which Is degrees higher than for the
week ending Aug. IA. The mercury
ranged in the SOS in many sections, es-
pecially those of the interior portion,
during the closing days of the week.
owing to light winds and a high percent
of moisture, the weather in many cases
was reported unusually oppressive. The
high temperature end prevailing drought
were injuriojis to many growing crops.
The average rainfall for the district
was the smallest for any week of the
season. For nearly the whole of the
district there was no precipitation. Re-
ports from Oldtown and Afford, Mass,
indicate that seasonable conditions OBJ
tain in those localities, but for all other
sections of the district crops and vege-
tation generally are suffering for rain.
taking the district as an intregal,
crops are at standstill. A whole week
has passed without drop Of rain. Seven
days without precipitation, combined
with very high temperatures, have pro-
duced drought in sections where a
week ago the soil was in seasonable con-
dition. In other sections, where dry
weather had prevailed for week to a
fortnight preceding the week just closed.
crops have reached a critical stage. Corn
is rolling and following and the husks
becoming dry; the ears not filing full
and regularly. Tobacco and vines are
dropping. Small fruits and berries are
stunted and are drying and are devoid
of the usual juicy qualities. The dry
weather is especially injurious to pas
lures, causing great deficiency in fall
feeding and grazing. 1t is also affecting
the quality as we'll as the quantity of
milk supply. Grass in many sections
has become dry and brown, necessitat-
ing the feeding of stock at the barn much
earlier than is customary. In some To-
calities the supply of stock water is be-
coming matter Of serious considera-
ton, resulting in many cases in great
inconvenience and hardship to farmers.
Fhe ground is too dry for fall blowing
and seeding, particularly in northern
portions of the district.

EXPANSION CONTINUES.
Scarcity Of Iron and Steel Supplies Becoming
Serious. General Strenuth of Prices

The trade situation gathers strength as
summer Wancs. Reports Of expanding
fall demand arrive. accompanied by
cheerful advces as to the outlook in
most parts of the country. In manu-
featuring lines, production appears to
De at maximum, and the price situa-
ton retains most of it's old strength.
Notable in the matter of added strength
are most of the cereals, and iron and
steel in many forms. Judging from
numerous reports, the scarcity of sup
plies of iron and steel is becoming in
creasingly serious, supplies of struct-
ural and shipbuilding material being
reported inadequate at a number of
points.
There is an appearance of quiet at
eastern markets, not shared in, how
ever, by western centres, where sales
are reported large and price advances
numerous. Liberal bookings are re-
ported for the first quarter of 1900, with
some southern engagements reported
running as far ahead as autumn year
from now.
A notable exception to the general
strength OF prices is found in raw cotton,
which has disregarded almost unani-
NOUS reports of crop deterioration and
lost all of last weeks advance, owing
to the issuance of a bearish crop esti-
mate, which seems at least prematurely
issued. The strength Of the cotton
goods market is maintained.
The advance in boots and shoes seems
to have been felt but little and the
slight gain in leather prices imparts a
firm tone to hides. Most staples, aside
from those mentioned, are firm and I'M
changed on the week.
Lumber still reflects activity in build
Ing, and advances at western markets
are again reported.
Current railroad earnings show little
reflection of the falling off in the grain
and make excellent compar-
isons with preceding years
