Your Excellency to tell Nj. Casimir-Pe-
rer that int is proved the German EN-
bassy was never implicated i'm the Drey-

NJ Casimir- Perier then recounted how
he had expressed to the then Premier
and Minister of War his establishment
and indignation at the interview which
Captain Lebrun-Renaud gave the Figaro
on the subject of Dreyfus.
The witness told of Colonel Picquart's
visit to the Elysee at the time of the
trial in 1894 to inform him that Nj.
Bertillon's demonstrations had little eff
feet on the judges.
He added:
Il received NJ. Berttillon December

Minister of War who thought his demon
stration very curious, interesting an con-
elusive, but l must confess" said NJ.

He added:
All that was done and said among
knowledge.
The witness then related the facts in
connection with the futile efforts of NJ.
Waldeck- Rousseau to prevent the first
court martial in sitting behind closed
doors.
NJ. CassimirP erier concluded this part
of his statement by raising his voice
and speaking very eXcitedly, saying:
For the honor of the Chief Magis-
tracy, which | occupied, for the honor
of the Republic, | will not allow it to be
said that / had exchanged a word with
a captain in the French army accused of
treason"
This statement caused applause in
court, which Colonel Jonaust speedily
suppressed, threatening to clear the hall
if there was any repetition of it.
The former President ended his state
ment by saying:
Il affirm, before this tribunal of sol
diers, that my resignation was not con-
nected with the diplomatic incident con-
corning Germany. 1t pains me not to be
able to second the court in the work OF
justice confided to it, for from this place
must emerge at last, for the sake of
the country, reconciliation and peace"
pfApplause, which was quickly suppress

Colonel JouauSt then asked Captain
Dreyfus if he had anything to say.
Thereupon the prisoner rose and said:

ton of such a letter. The words the
former President Of the Republic have
just uttered are exact. | have never,

HACKMA GARRY A POINT THE STARS ARRIVE HOME HAD SAMRCHGE{
THE KINAU BACK IN SERVICE
AGAIN.
Claudine to be Taken OFF for Repairs.
The New Steamer Will be Here in
Few Weeks.

After being overhauled and repaired
throughout, the Wilder steamer Kinau
is back In service again and on Tues
day next she will make her first trip
on her new time table between here and
Hilo and way ports. The Claudine is to
be taken out of service and repaired as
the Kinau has been. She will be given
new propeller and shaft and will be
generally overhauled.
The improvements in the Kinau are
quite extensive. She has been given six
additional deck staterooms with lower
hunks three feet wide and upper hunks
two feet six inches. in them. The deck
awning has been extended twenty feet.
Below, the cabins have been fitted out
with electric fans and new electric fix
lures have been introduced throughout.
A new dynamo and searchlight have
also been ordered for her, but have not
yet arrived from San Francisco. The
boilers and all the machinery of the
vessel have been overhauled and plac-
/ ed in first class order and she was ac-
cepted as first class by the insurance
| examiners after an inspection.
The Kinau is the largest and probably
! the fastest of the Wilder steamers. Her
! lines of construction are so much supe-
rior to those of the Claudine that In
spite of her larger size she is capable
of equalling the Claudine's speed with
300 less horsepower than the latter
uses.

THE HIT OF THE SEASON.

j. w. Winton, the world renowned
ventriloquist, made big hit at the Or
pheum last evening. His work is strict
ly first class, and his collection of auto
nations are marvellous, acting as nearly
like human beings as possible. The
management are very fortunate in Sc
curing his services, but his stay will be
very short as he is due in San Fran
cisco to fill an engagement and leaves
on the City of Peking on the 29th. The
balance of the program was also good,
and the remark was made that taken
altogether, it is the best entertainment
the Orpheum has ever presented. With
a new opening piece tonight and new
songs, it will be very good and will
doubtless draw a crowded house.

RULE "a WILL BE MODIFIED AT
ONCE.
Drivers of Public Vehicles to be Allowed
to Wait in Front of Stores for Theii
Customers.

Minister King will repeal that part of
the carriage regulations forbidding
hacks to wait in front of stores ana
similar places for customers.
He stated this morning that he would
first consult with the attorney general
in regard to the matter, but that that
would be the course followed. The sec
ton forbidding hacks tying up at res
taurants and other places away from
the stand, and drivers leaving same, Is
not considered so much of a hardship.
The minister yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a communication signed by near
ly all of the hackmen in the city asking
for the elimination of the Objectionable
sections. This petition has been care
fully considered.
1t appears that the sections objected
to have been in the rules for about
twenty years, having been framed anc
inserted by the late S. G.. Wilder wher
he was Minister of the Interior. Here.
tofore they have not been enforced, ant
many other sections were allowed tc
lapse in the same way by former mar.
shals.
The rule forbidding a hack to stop II
front of a store has become very OBJ
iectionable, especially to ladies who ar,
in the habit of patronizing public con
veyances when shopping. At present {
hack so engaged, if for an hour or al
day, must return to its stand while tn,
customer is in the store and await {
call when a move to another store o.
other part of the city is desirable.
1t is understood this afternoon tina
if the section forbidding hackmen to til
up at restaurants is not also repealed
the matter will be taken to the suprem
court. Drivers believe the rule is un
constitutional

The present local boom in building
has its disadvantage TO some people.
The Woman's Exchange is one institu-
ton which has found il out. Since the
blockade of Merchant street incidental
to the construction of a new edfice ad-
joining the Judd building, the receipts
of the exchange have fallen from $1,000
or Sl400 a month to two or three hun
dred dollars. All this drop in business
is apparently, because people will not
take the trouble TO walk round an OBJ
structed bit of sidewalk. The exchange
will move as soon as possible TO a better
location.
"The falling off i'm our business is not
the fault of the contractors" said Miss

time mainly for the purpose of aiding
many Hawaiian women who were IN
destitute circumstances as a result of
the shutting off of many sources of
family income that royalty gave. It's
objects were to find work and to sell
goods, 10 per cent being charged for the
sale of articles. Now it has a large list

not receive articles from any but the

A-SHAMRoCK RACE AS

Commodore Hebron and President Dole

Judge Wilcox's Opinion.

The coming Columbia Shamrock race
for the America cup is exciting a deal
of interest among local yachtsmeu. All
of the enthusiasts are following closely
newspaper reports and pictures of the
respective yachts in the magazines. 1t
seems to be the concensus of opinion
that the Columbia will win.
Il have not formed a decided opinion
as to the relative merits of the boats

lu fleet. The newspapers have not given
a number of details that | should like 10
know about, and l suppose it is impos-
sibe to do so. | never feel safe in pass
ing judgment until | have seen both
racers, at the dock and at sea.
1T is doubtful in my mind If there
is much difference in the yachts. There
have been times when neither came mp
to expectations. The Shamrock behav-
ed worse than | had expected i'm light
wind; but so did the Columbia. 1t seems
| to be the general opinion that in heavy
weather the Shamrock will have the
| advantage.
But l believe the Columbia will win
! for a special reason, outside of the sail
ing qualities of the boat Sir Thomas
Upton has placed two captains on his
boat. This is a fatal mistake. | ur-
derstand that the men are already ex-

the Columbia superior to those of the

over the other in that particular. II
my opinion the race will depend on tn
weather, with indications on the sid
of the Columbia.
"If the Shamrock does win, the Am

the cup is brought back from the othe
side of the Atlantic. They will the
, find out how hard it is to build a yach

across the ocean and retain her sailn
qualities. 1t will take a vast improve

Judge Wilcox. commander of the Ha

boat and fears the friends of the CO

American side, and expects her to Civ
