DOSSlER UNDER DISCUSSION
General 0hapoins Continues His Explanation
Of the Documents,
RESUME THE OPEN HEARINGS SATURDAY
Extra Precautions Taken to Keep
Back the C~rowd-Less People
Present Than on Any Pre-
vious Day of Trial,

RENNES, France, Aug. 9.-The secret
session of the Dreyfus court-martial today
lasted from $50 a. m. until Has a. m. GEN
eral Chanoine nearly completed his part OF
the explanation of the dossier. He will be
heard tomorrow for about a couple of hours
and then NJ. Paleologue of the foreign office
win take up the task, which, 1t is under
stood, will be completed Friday next. A
public session, therefore, will take place
Saturday morning. The dossier consists OF
about 400 documents, OF which fifty we're
disposed of yesterday. Several of the docu-
ments are written in German.
During the proceedings today a German
dictionary was sent for and the correspond
ent here of the Associated Press learned
from a sure source tina, when certain words
and expressions could not be exactly under
stood, even with the aid of the dictionary,
Dreyfus, who is a perfect German scholar,
volunteered a translation and was allowed to
give explanations which were of valuable as
sistance to the court.
The precautionary police measures today
were much more stringent than yesterday.
Strong detachments Of infantry, instead OF
gendarmes, cordoned the streets leading to
the Lycee. Gendarmes alone performed this
duty yesterday and the public, who were
much less numerous, barely mastering 800
persons, were pressed still further back.
Persons standing inside the entrance hall of
a house within view of the door Of the
Lycee were even compelled by gendarmes to
retrsnt into the interior of the house and
the front door was locked. Absolutely no.
body but police and soldiers were thus within
100 yards Of Dreyfus when he crossed the
Avenue de la Care.
The police authorities explain the rigor
of these measures on the ground that yester-
day a few cries against the prisoner were
raised while he was crossing the avenue
Not a discordant note was heard anywhere

E SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Property owners living in the vicinity of
Thirteenth and o streets are very anxious
to have o street, from Thirteenth to Seven
teenth, graded in order to give a western
outlet. A petition requesting the city coun-
Gil to create a grading district and let the
contract for the work has been signed by the
necessary majority, but the question of
building a culvert across o street, near
Seventeenth street, has put a temporary stop
to the proceedings. City Engineer Beal esti-
mates that a four-foot culvert will be needed
to carry off the storm water and this will
have to be 400 feet in length. The engineer
estimates the cost of this culvert at 81, 600.
AS the city has no money for the payment Of
this work at the present time, it has been
suggested that the cost OF building this drain
be taxed against the grading district. Sew
eral of the property owners are willing that
this should be done, but in case the attempt
is made an entirely new petition will have to
be prepared. This will take considerable
time, as some of the property owners are
non-residents, and there will necessarily
have to be considerable correspondence.
Councilman Trainor is of the opinion that
the city should pay a portion OF the cost Of
the c%ulvert, on account of it being in the
nature of an improvement to a street. Mayor
Ensor does not follow this view, but thinks
that If the property owners at Thirteenth and
o streets desire to have the street opened
they should, under existing circumstances
pay the entire cost. DR.. w. S. White and
others are taking hold of the proposition
again and may successfully carry out the
project OF opening o street. This portion
of the city is being built up quite rapidly and
it is asserted that residents should not be
compelled to go clear around by Missouri
avenue in order to reach their homes.

MRS. pERoT READY TO COMPROMISE
VIII Deliver Her Child If Extraditton
Proceedings Are Withdrawn.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-W. H. Perot and MS
counsel, Mr.. Newton Crane, were in consul
tation with the United States ambassador,
Joseph H. Choate, this morning. Mr.. Perot
tells a representative of the Associated Press
that counsel for Mrs. w. H. Perot, charged
with abducting her daughter Gladys from
Baltimore, had proposed to him to consent
to the withdrawal Of the extradition pro-
ceedings, in which case the mother would
hand over Gladys to Mr.. Perot. and it was
to discuss the possibility Of such an arrange
ment that he visited Mr.. Choate, as the pro-
posal is entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Perot.
But the ambassador said he had applied for
Mrs. Perot's extradition, in accordance with
orders from Washington and he had no
power to withdraw the proceedings without
instructions, as the extradition proceedings
we're instituted with the view Of Furnishing
Mrs. Perot for an illegal act. Mr.. Perot
added that the writ of habeas corpus granted
to Mr.. Crane yesterday had not yet been
served, as Mrs. Perot is in hiding. She left
her former residence when she heard the
writ had been issued. 1t will be served at
the latest tomorrow, when she appears on
remand at the Bow street police court.

F1L1r1xos GO UPON THE STAGE.
Late Residents of the Domain of

Late Residents of the Domain of
A~guinaIdO Give Dress Rehearsal.
Yesterday was an unusually busy day at
the Filipino village, which will open its
doors to the public this evening. During
a greater portion of the morning and all of
the afternoon the actors were kept upon the
stage rehearsing for the performance. All,
or nearly all. of the people in the village
are actors. but for fear that they might
be afflicted with stage fright Manager Moore
kept them playing, singing and dancing.
The Filipinos are a lot of small people
and when upon the stage they resemble in
size a party Of eighth grade schoolboys.
Their actions, however, are more like. those
of matured men. In their conversation they
are quick and always ready with their
answers. AS dancers they are all successful,
being graceful and light upon their feet.
Their dances are a good deal upon the style
Of the American waltzes, yet there are some
national dances that are altogether different.
Still none of them are in anywise sensational
or vulgar.
The singing of the Filipinos is low and
plaintive, in this respect being much like
that of the Hawaiians. Still 1t is strong
and possesses lots OF scope. In the orchestra
there are twelve pieces, including mando-
Inns, guitars, banjoes and a harp. One of
their catchy pieces is Aguinaldo's march,
which is about as quick as Yankee Doodle
and is rather pleasant to the ear. In their
repertoire they have Hot Time" Amer
lea" Star Spangled Banner" and a dozen
other familiar tunes which they picked up
by hearing them played in and around
Manila by the soldiers.

Made il Binding.

Among the marriage licenses granted yes
terday was one which permitted Phillip
Marlborough and Mrs. Eliza. Cole to wed
for the second time. This was not the result
of a separation, but merely to establish a
record that they found some difficulty in
obtaining from England, where they were
married twenty years ago. The record was
wanted in a legal proceeding, and it was
found easier to get married again than to
resurrect the original record. In the absence
of Judge Baxter Justice Foster performed
the ceremony and the bridal couple appar-
emily extracted considerable enjoyment from
the repetition Of their vows.

Grand Plaza
1t was a day given over to the children,
as all of the previous Wednesdays have been
since the gates OF the Greater America Elk
position swung in. The little folks were out
in goodly numbers, but there were fewer OF
them on the grounds than upon previous
occasions, which fact may be accounted for
by reason of the intense heat. All day long
the sun shone down with a blistering heat.
The children felt 1t and instead of running
here and there they kept in the shade or in
close proximity to some of the tanks thtt
were filled with ice water. All the Midway
people cut prices to the little folks, but
even this did not entice them within the
places of amusement. However, as the sun
crept out of sight, the youngsters started In
to do some sightseeing and during the re-
naming hours OF the day they trooped
through the buildings and visited the Mid
way, where they enjoyed themselves as only
children can.
In the forenoon, decked out with fancy
blankets and painted faces, the indians gave
a parade. They left the exposition grounds
by way Of the Sherman avenue gate and
proceeded Town town. where they covered
the principal business streets, reaching the
grounds on their return trip shortly after
noon. Although they were mounted, they
were pretty thoroughly tagged out by the
long ride and the heat and showed little
disposition to put much snap into their
movements
During the afternoon the Indians gave an
entertainment on the race track. This was
attended largely by the boys and girls, VINO
were amused immensely. The entertainment
consisted of foot and pony races and closing
with a mimic attack upon a stage coach
and the killing OF the occupants. 1t Is pre-
sumed that the Indians impersonated the
methods pursued many years ago in hold
ing up and disposing OF travellers.
In the evening the parents of many OF the
children visited the grounds for the pur'
pose of hunting out their little ones ant
seeing them safe home. Many of them re
NAMED through the evenings entertainment
which consisted of a concert by the bant
and fireworks on the Plaza.
