NEW DREYFUS FACTS
BROUGHT OUT BY HIS ATTORNEY
IN REVISION PLEA.
ESTERHAZY TO BLAME
Procurator General Asserts That
Change in the Date OF the Border
eau Constituted New and Import
ant Fact - Anti-Semites Bitter
Against Dreyfus' Attorney.

Paris. May 31.-M. de Beaupre today
read fresh report drawn up by NJ.
Maneau, the procurator- general on
Sunday last, in view of the recent de-
velopments, enumerating ten fresh
facts in favor of Dreyfus, viz:
The Henry forgery.
The changing of the date of the bor-
dereau to August instead of April.
Contradictions of the handwriting
experts.
The absolute identity of the paper
upon which the bordereau was written
with Maj. Esterhazy's letter paper.
The sentence, am starting for the
maneuvers, which could not have been
written by Dreyfus.
The police report withheld by the
court martial.
Lieut.. Col. Henry's weeping confess
sion in Burtulu's office.
The Finizzardi dispatch
Official documents proving that
Dreyfus had no relations with foreign
embassies.
A document demonstrating that
Dreyfus never confessed guilt.
Maneau's report concluded with an
expression in favor of a re-trial of
Dreyfus. De Beaupre amplified his in
dictment of Esterhazy, saying one
new fact, from legal point of view,
was the discovery of the bordereau
written upon precisely the same paper
as that used by Esterhazy. The judges
in 1894 did not know this, and, De
Beaupre declared, on his soul and con-
science, according to his conviction, the
bordereau was written by Esterhazy.
He deplored the attacks of the revi-
sionists upon the army, but said that
the honor of the army was not depen-
dent upon the retention of an innocent
man on Devils island. De Beaupre
concluded: Il do not ask you to pro-
claim the innocense Of Dreyfus, but"
cried he with profound emotion, cit is
with firm conviction and high sense
of my duty and responsibility | say
there is reason to grant a
revision of the trial of '94 and send
Dreyfus for retrial before another
courtmartial, whose task will be to
give a decision with a full knowledge
of the facts. My report is ended"
said De Beaupre, while cries of bra
vo," and other marks of appreciation
filled the court room. Amidst great
excitement, Maneau, proeurator-g ener-
al, began his address to the court. He
claimed the change in the date of the
bordereau constituted a new fact apart
from the numerous other new facts,
and declared the bordereau was really
the work of Esterhazy. Maneau
dwelt upon the strangeness OF the gen.
eral staff's protection of Esterhazy and
the latters ambiguity. The court ad-
journed at 5 p. m. without incident.
The news that De Beaupre directly as
cribed the authorship OF the bordereau
to Esterhazy produced condition of
stuptication among the members Of
the league of patriots in the precincts
of the court. ut is the collapse of
our charges" shouted Maurice Barres,
novelist and deputy. The anti-Semites
generally bitterly denounced De
Beaupre, whom they accused of having
sold himself.

PRESBYTERIAN PROBLEMS.

Philadelphia, May 31.-At yester-
days session of the general assembly
of the United Presbyterian church Dr..
Alexander Gilchrist of Omaha was
elected corresponding secretary of the
board of home missions to succeed DR..
Owens, resigned. The question of
marriage with the deceased wife's sis
ter was disposed of by declining the
request of the Chicago Presbytery to
refer the question of repeating the
present confession of faith on that
point to the various presbyteries. A
memorial on secret societies was pre-
scented from the southern presbytery of
Illinois asking whether membership
in every secret society is forbidden by
the articles as they now stand. A res

WArERTowN's NEW MONUMENT
Big Delegations from Surrounding
Towns Attend the Ceremonies.

WATERFOWL, May 31.-An immense
crowd gathered yesterday to attend the
dedicatory ceremonies of the soldiers
monument presented to the city by Mr..
and Mrs Robert f. Lewis. Big del
egations of veterans and others came
from Madison, Sun Prairie, Lake Mills,
Jefferson, FIT. Atkinson and other sur
rounding towns. After an imposing
parade Mayor David s. Rose of Mil
waukee delivered the memorial ora
ton. He was followed by Gov. SEQ
field who made a splendid, thoughtful
address. He said in part:
THE American soldier is as brave
today as the American soldier of the
revolution or of the civil war, as was
well shown during the brief war of
last year, and is now being signally
demonstrated in the struggle in pro-
gress in the far islands of the Pacific
There are none OF us, however, but
look upon war with horror; none but
would be happy If the contest of last
year could have been averted, and be
glad If the present struggle might be
honorably and quickly ended. But
there are some things worse than war
and one is for nation to neglect plain
duty or to attempt to evade respon-
sibility for it's own acts. There were
those when war was imminent last
year who thought they foresaw some
such consequences as have come from
1t, and sought to point out the danger.
Rightfully or wrongfully, the country
was forced into war, and like a wise
and brave people we did our best while
in it. What the war has brought to us
may not be to our liking. No one was
ever wise enough to forecast the con-
sequences Of war. But for us to at
tempt now to evade the responsibility
for our own acts would be dishonor-
able and cowardly. Even if it be said
that we were unwise in entering upon
war, let it never be charged that we
were not brave enough to accept its
consequences, having taken the first
step"
The monument was then delivered TO
the city by the Rev. G. c. Weiss. form
erly pastor of the Congregational
church, on behalf of the donors, and
the gift accepted by Mayor VI. G. CRUDE
on behalf Of the city. A chorus of
several hundred voices rendered sever
al patriotic songs, which added much
to the impressiveness of the cere-
monies.
The monument is of Barre granite,
and stands so feet high. Its weight is
106 tons. The monument was built by
j. j. Archeit 81 Sons of this city, and
was designed by Jones Bros Of Boston.
On each side of the die appears the fig
ure of a soldier, while the shaft is sur
mounted by huge bronze eagle with
outspread wings. The inscription on
the die Is as follows
