TESTIMONY OF COL. PlCQUART
siosT INCRIMISATING INDICTMENT
or FORMER CHIEFS.
IL Cleared Away tho MASS of For
gerry mud Perjury on which the
Guilt of Drcyfus WAS Butit.

New York. August S,--The Rennes cor
respondent Of tho Tribune, discussing to-
days session OF the Dreyfus trial, says:
Colonel PicGuart has formulated the most
discriminating indictment OF the former
chiefs OF the general stan yet brought 10
light, and in the opinion of eminent iurlsts
his evidence, which for Ave consecutive
hours riveted the attention of the court
and puhlic-and which was delivered
without consulting note and without hes
itation or repetition of single word or
phrase--constitutes the most remarkable
specimen of oral testimony ever recorded
in a French court of justice. The narra-
tive. not only not interrupted or aided by
question of M. De Mango, removed one
by one the tissues OF lies claboratcly
woven by Henry and Patty dc Clam to nx
Esterhazy's crime upon Captain Dreyfus.
Neither Mercier nor Roget in their dra-
matte combinations with Colonel Pie
quart dared deny any substantial element
OF his testimony which, TO any impartial
observer, sets forth as clearly us sunshine
the overwhelming presumption that II was
Esterhazy and not Dreyfus who wrote the
bordereau and delivered to Germany the
documents enumerated Ia 1t.
AS to the impression on the public, It Is
heart-rending TO record that the floods of
retctionary clerical and anti-Semitic pas
sions are SO violent as to preclude the pos
sihility of any examination of the case ON
its intrinsic merits The court itself.
which until the close of Colonel Pcquart's
evidence seemed as IL carried away by his
lucid demonstrations. was at once aroused
as IL from dream when MERCER and
Roget, encouraged by the smiles and ges-
lures of Billot and Zurlinden. once again
reasserted with categorical military blunt
ness the exploded dogmas relating to Cap
tain Dreyfus' guilt and Colonel Picquart's
disgrace.
Can it be that this court martial is
capable of being hypnotzed by the rank
and prestige of the four generals, who dur
ing the proceedings sit in a row of four
red velvet chairs, directly facing the judi
cial bench, and scan the countenances of
the judges as four cats might watch seven
mice?
Such is the question that the men per-
sonifyng intellectual France are now ask
ing themselves. II is painfully evident
that Picquart is Dreyfus sole defender.
Maitre de Mango seems as If glued to his
seat; his questions submitted TO the court
with view of cross examining the wit
nesses for the prosecution are perfunctory.
1t is scarcely possible for any one not
following the proceedings here in court
to appreciate the terrible loss the defense
has sustained by the shot fred by Laboris
would be assassin.

PARTISAN COMMENT.

Paris. August l9.The Paris papers are
full of comments on Colonel Schneider 5
telegram.
The Rennes correspondent of the Petit
Bleu says: General MERCER will protest
against the allegation that the letter is a
forgery. He declares that it Is autbenti-
Gated by comparison with the documents
from the same source
The Figaro says: General Mercier's only
way to prove his good faith is to name the
person who gave him the document and
to prove that this person got 1t in legiti-
mate way.
The Rappel says: The Schneider forgery
showed that in order TO accumulate proofs
against Dreyfus resort has been had to
another lie MERCER Uicard.
NJ. Jaures, in the Petit Republique, de-
mands an Investigation of the Schneider
matter.
The Echo de Paris says: Such little for
eign maneuvers are intended to impose
upon the court martial and We're quite ex-
pected.

A HARD DAYS WORK.

: he Battle Lasted Fully Seven Hours-rhe
isoers Completely DemoraIized.
LONDON, October M.-The earliest
dispatches regarding yesterdays battle
conveyed the impression that the whole
affair was over in couple Of hours. the
guns and infantry and then simply
charging right over the hill. Accord
ing to the latest adviees, however, the
battle lasted eight hours, and nearly
seven hours elapsed before the last
Boer gun was put out Of action.
The Irish Fusiliers and the Kings Ri
f1es meanwhile had advanced to the as
sault and were shooting their way up
the hill, driving the Beers back from
shelter to shelter. The final rush Of
the British carried them to the summit
1t was bright, clear morning which
enabled the operations to be followed by
the staff officers without difficulty. A
curious fact was that several times a
hull occurred in the firing on both sides,
the British infantry apparently taking
breathing space in the stiff climb and
the Beers also holding back their fire
The magnificent practice Of the Brit
ish guns was an immense help and the
success of the assault was greatly due
thereto. An enormous quantity Of am
munition was expended
Once the British bayonets showed on
top of Kopje the Beers retreated. and
when on descending the other side they
found British battery and British cav
airy outflanking them, retreat became
rout. The British guns followed, aud
Numbering from time to time, threw
shells among the flying foe.
The latter did not wait to try con-
illusions with the Hussars and mounted
infantry, who apparently seldom got
near enough to deliver effective voileys.
The pursuit was continued until dusk.
when the Beers were completely Gemcr-
allied. A heavy rain began to fall late

1t is striking coincidence that yes
terday was the second anniversary Of a
similar feat Of British arms In India,
when the Gordon Highlanders stormed
Dargai Heights.

they embarked for the Cape. The bat
talions. the First Scots. the Second
Coldstreams and the Third Grenadiers
left. The fact that the day was raw
and foggy did not deter large crowd
from assembling at Chelsea barracks at
s O'Clock, and when the first detachment
wheeled out of the barrack gates. the
people cheered till they were hoarse.
Along the whole route a lusty ovation
awaited the troops, the spectators In

the men. Before many yards were COW
cred ranks were broken and the women
linked their arms with the soldiers, who
were carried along in the surging, sing
ing crowd TO the station. where M inn
mense coacourse was awaiting them to
give them a tremendous reception.
Friends grasped the rifles and Kits
of the troops and insisted on carrying
them. The men marched to the plat
form singing while the band played
Scotch airs, in which the crowd that
was not allowed to go upon the plat
form joined, all uniting in Aud Lang
Syne' as the train pulled out of the
station.
The Second Coldstreams marched to
Nine Elms station, amid similar enthu-
siasm and many affecting scenes. The
officers allowed the women to mix free
ly with the men on the line of march
and before they entered the station.
The guards left in detachments and
the last of the Scots and Coldstreams
did not depart until some time past
noon. Each successive contingent was
cheered by the increasing spectators
until serTied ranks OF people lined the
route.
Crowds assembled also near the We'll
lington barracks, from which the Gren-
adler guards emerged at halt-past
twelve, after an inspection in the bar
racks yard by Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood,
who complimented the men on thsir
smart appearance.
They certainly looked very workman
like in their Khaki helmets and red
field tunics: and the march to Waterloo
station was triumphal progress.
Their own band preceded, playing popu-
lar and patriotic airs. The scenes in
the streets were similar to those at
tending the departure of the Scots and
Coldstreams, except that If possible,
the enthusiasm was more intense.
Friends and relatives marched with
them and soldiers and spectators join
ed in songs, which were frequently
drowned by hurricanes Of cheers as the
troops passed points where the crowds
were massed. At times they had the
utmost difficulty to get through the peo-
pie seeming to wish to carry them to
the station shoulder-high. Cheer after
cheer shook the building as the trains
steamed out, the troops responding lus-
tily.

THE SENATOR.
Serious Alarm Beginning to Be Felt
for tho Zig Transport---W as in a
Typhoon of Terrible Force.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, October 21.-
The transport Senator, having on board
the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers and otn-
er soldiers to the number of 100,
should reach San Francisco within two
or three days unless it suffered a seri-
Gus accident in the typhoon which
struck 1t soon after it left Yokohama
on October g.
News of disquieting sort is brought
by COL Charles DENLY and Prof. Dean
Worcester, the remaining members of
the Philippine commission, who are re-
turning post haste to Washington.
These men saw wreckage in the swell
OF the typhoon that crossed the track
of the Senator. They saw the glover
ing storm and were caught in the edge
OF it. Their own boat, the Empress
OF Japan, a ship accounted far staunch-
er than the Senator, suffered damage
from the half-spent force of the gale.
The sailors said they believed the Sem
ator was in the midst of the typhoon.
The next day life boat and a spar
were seen floating on the frothy sea,
over which the typhoon had swept.
Il should certainly not wish to cause
needless alarm" said Col. DENLY, but
! am forced to admit there is cause for
some apprehension for the fate of the
Senator.
ct would not be we'll to say at this
time the transport is lost, for that
would perhaps cause needless anguish
to the friends and relatives of those
aboard 1t, but it is well the meagre
truth we know should be made public. ;"

Rumors of the Engagements of a Princess

Rumors of the Engagements of Princess
and an Arehdu hess.
LONDON, October 2-Rumors of royal
engagements and marriages multiply. 1t
is said the czarewitch is fallen in love
with Princess Margaret of Connaught
with whom he has been associating a great
deal in, Scotland. The announcement of
the betrothal of the Austrian Archduchess
Stephanie to Count Elmer Lonyay former
secretary of the Austrian embassy in
Rome seems to be corrdeet. 1t is said tho {
her sad experience as the wife of the i'm
per.al crown prince Rudolph, whose tragic
death with Baroness Marie Vetsora was
one of the great court scandals of Europe
made her thoroughly Disguised with the
formalities of court life.
Emperor Francis Joseph and King Leo
pold of Belgium have both given their APP
prevail to the marriage. Count Lonyay
threw up his diplomatic career shortly af-
ter becoming privately engaged to the
archduchess, and he has since been prepar-
ing home for his royal bride.
Vanity Fair predicts the forthcoming
divorce of Prince Herbert Bismarck, who
since the death of his father, has re-
sumed his bachelor mode of living.
The appointment of Miss Monro to the
pastorate of the Brotherton Congreg tional
church is believed to be the first instance
in England of such proceeding. Specu-
lation Is rife as to whether she will adopt
the title OF Reverend. In any event the
appointment marks a new era in Congre-
gationalism-

ILL HEALTH
Causes Deweys Physician to Recommend
Cancellation Of engagements.

Cancellation of engagements.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 21.-
BY advice of his physician, Admiral
Dewey has Cancelled his proposed trips
to Philadelphia and Atlanta and will
accept no more invitations.
The following official statement on
the subject was made at his Office here
to-day:
Acting on the advice of his physic-
ians, Admiral Dewey finds that it will
be necessary to cancel the engagements
he has entered into to visit certain cit
les and to decline all invitations fol-
the present. He finds that the mental
strain incident to such visits is serious
ly affecting his health"
1t is said by one of Admiral Dewey 8
friends that this Is not to be taken as
an indication of any alarming change in
the Admiral's health, but that to man
of his temperament the excitement and
mental strain incident to the various
public functions in which he has been
participant have proved unusually
trying. He will remain as quiet as pos
sible for the balance of the winter, and
it is hoped by next spring he will be
able to take short trip south and visit
some of the places whose inhabitants
have been SO anxious to welcome him.
The invitations for his Philadelphia
and Atlanta trips were Cancelled by
telegraph to-day, and the situation was
explained to the Charleston delegation,
which was anxious Tor MIN to include
South Carolina in his southern jour
ney. The Admirals indisposition will
have no effect on Lieut.. Brumbys visit
to Atlanta.
