Four Handwriting Experts Testify in Fa-

Rennes, Aug. 31.-The air of Rennes
last evening was filled with rumors of
conspiracies and predictions of coups

be ascertained. General Mercier's at

mystified his followers in the case. In
the matter "a evidence yesterday was

loye, being unfavorable. The testi-

Information in regard to the ''120 short
gun" which had a pneumatic brake,
which was communicated to foreign
power, and that Dreyfus had abundant
opportunity to know these things.
Dreyfus, in reply, said that he saw the
hydro-pnuematic brake once at Bour-
he never saw it used because, while
on the general staff, he was never
present at firing practice.
Tcday's proceedings, behind closed
doors, will deal with the question
whether Captain Dreyfus was in po-
sition to divulge the information re-
garding the artillery which was prom
ised in the bordereau. The session will
be very important and is bound to
have tremendous influence upon the
judges one way or the other, because
they are all artillery officers and will
be able to appreciate such evidence
better than the cryptographic intri-
cacies that have been laid before them
by the handwriting experts. The
Dreyfusards express confidence that
their artillery witnesses, Major Hart
man and Major Ducros, will effectively
satisfy the judges that Dreyfus was
ignorant of the matters mentioned in

Pretoria, Transvaal, Aug 31.-The
British diplomatic agent here, Conyng-

tary of state, F. w. Reitz, the reply of
the British secretary of state for the
colonies, to the Transvaal's alternative
proposal to that for a joint commits
sion suggested by Great Britain to in
quire into the effect which the pro-
posed franchise reform measures will
have upon the outlanders. Greene aft
erward had a long audience of the
state officials. The nature of the dis
patch is not disclosed, but was subject
to the consideration of the executive
yesterday afternoon. 1t is understood
that another conference may occur at

awaited.

London, Aug. 31.-The Times says
editorially this morning: There is
the best reason to believe that the re-
cent note of Mr.. Chamberlain will be
almost the last occasion on which Great
Britain will ask President Kruger
whether he is in earnest in his prom
ises of concessions. The note undoubt-
eddy called for an immediate answer,
and when reasonable time for answer
has elapsed Great Britain will nolonger
pay much attention to President Kru-
gers word, but will form her judg-
ment by his actions. The Beers should
bear in mind that, throughout the
whole controversy, The Cologne Ga
zette has warned the Transvaal that it
was placing itself in an unfavorable
position and that in the event of war
nobody would lift finger to prevent

Cape Town, Aug. 31.-There was a
violent scene in the Cape house of as
sembly yesterday when Cecil Rhodes
repeated his conviction that the Trans
vaal secret service fund was largely
used during the last Cape Colony cleo
lions for the expenses of the Afrikander
candidates. He said he hoped that in
the forthcoming Transvaal settlement
the secret service payment list would
be destroyed. as otherwise many Cape
families would feel uncomfortable. Sew
eral ministerialists were afterward re-
proved from the chair for fiercely re-
torting against this statement.
