Again Was the Prosecutions
 Evidence Badly Riddled.
COURT SHOWS ITS HOSTILITY
Ii. Labori Keeps Stirring Up inc NOi- soma ESferhaZy SmeII, and inc witnesses For inc Army to Away With inc Odor About Them-DreyfuS' PrIVate ChaEaC- fer ASSaiIed.

Rennes, Aug. 23.-The. session Of court at the trial of Dreyfus todayj was comparatively uneventful. Tne dispositions were not productive of any really thrilling incidents. A syste- ma.fc production of the f1imsiest trash which the prosecution deems profitable to inftct on the judges and which the latter accept as evidence was pro ceeded with Much Ct the ridiculous testimony Of the morning was devoted to an attenT.t to blast Dreyfus' prl- vate character, though whsn Moitre Labo.i and Demange had finished with the witnesses their bubbles of tittla- tattIe were badly pricked.
 Much Of the time was occupied n reatind the testimony of Esterhazy and Mile Pays before the court of cessation, during which many of the audience left the court NJ. Labnri again distinguished himself in laying bars the weak points Of the evidence. He was less fierce, however, than yes teIday, though quite aggressive enough to arouse tha latent ho9ility of the judges, which showed itself in various little ways.
 VI. Labori is no favorite, either, with Major Carriere, the government cOmm.s42ry, and the latter makes no serious efforts to conceal his feelings toward the lawyer. M Labori bore I1tle traces Of the effect5 of the out rage upon him. He rose, sat down and moved his body and limbs apparently without much difficulty. Only oc- caetonally he put his hands to his back as though suffering pain.
 The only dangerous opponent Cz DreyfUs today was General Gonse. The witness began by dec-aring' that he came to defsnd his honor against those "drivelling" against him. But when his cross-exam.nation was finished he returned to his seat thoroughly dis comfited, for M. Lab0ri had driven him into Q corner on the attempts Of the general staff to shield Esterkazy. and had shown tk.1t the general staff, for which GOnse was resp0lsib-a, had en- gineered Esterhazy's escape from the hands of justice.
 M. Dubrieul showed astounding for getfulness of important points Of his evidence concerning Dreyfls' ac- qUa.ntance with the foreign attache, and when M. Demange completed his examination Of those points by prom ts.ng to show that M. DubriauTs record in the law courts is far from clean. the witness left the sand badly discred- tied.

machine the ticket will be made up as follows:
 J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster. for su- preme justice; Josiah R. Adams, of Philadelphia, for superior judge, and Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett, of Washington, for state treasurer The construction of the platform will likewise be the work of the Beaver statesman and his followers. The reso- lutions will give unqualified indorse- ment to President Mckinley and his war policy, and probably will plainly indicate the intention of the Quayites, in the state fight, to ignore the state treasury and legislative issues and re.y upon the national questions to make successful stand at the polls this fall.

General OiiS Excludes Inc Chinese

Washington. Aug. 23.-The state de partment has been informed through diplomatic channels that General Otis has applied the Chinese exclusion laws to the Philippines The information was a surprise to the authorities here both state and military.

 The first intimation in that direction came in a dispatch received q few days ago from the Chinese consul at AIarLla telling the Chinese legation here that the exclusion laws against the chinese had been applied to the Philippines The state department has received an important letter from MT. Williams CIT former consul at Manila who still re- mains there in q confidential capacity He says that the native FiIipinOs are opposed to Chinese laEor and in his opinion the exclusion of Chinese from the islands would materially aid in bringing the war to close.

GREAT YEAR FOR TRAVEL.
Railroads Carrying More People Than
 in the Worlds Fair Year.

Chicago. Aug. 23.-PasSanger traffic in all directions is breaking al former records. It is even larger than in the Worlds Fair year. The movement is not confined to any particular class of business. Gains are as conspiciOus, in local as in throcl2h traffic. in summer tourist as in regular commercial and mercantile business The volume of this travel is so great that all the reads are pressed for coaches. although they have been experimenting their sup plies materially for two years.
 For the fiscal year ended on June 30. in many instances it was passenger earnings that kept the balance on the right side. Freight earnings showed q decrease, but this was more than off set by the gains in passenger earnings. Since June freight traffic has rallied materially, and is again rushing in tre- mendOus volume, but it has not in creased at any greater ratio than pas senger business. Rates have been well maintained.
