o o DAY FOR DREYFus.
with one Exception the witnesses Testify
In His Favor.

RENNEs, Sept. 2.-Yesterday was a
very satisfactory day for Dreyfus. The
Beaurepaire witness, German, who
was to prove that Dreyfus attended the
Alsatian mnneuvers, found his state
ments denied by q reputable witness.
while German himself, it was proved,
underwent two convictions for swind-
ling. This was the only testimony
against Dreyfus, the remainder of the
dispositions being in his favor, several Of
them being very weighty, as in the case
of Captain Carvalho, General Sebert
and Major Hartmann, their evidence
going to show that particulars of the
firing manual of the "12O" gun and
hydro.pneumatic brake We're almost
matters Of common knowledge among
the officers and that the contention that
Dreyfus, from his special position on
the staff and peculiar movements could
be acquainted with them has no solid
basis. This was the sum of the pro-
ceedings, which were not marked by
any unusual incident, the Roget Bray
ere episode in which General Roget
clearly gave himself away, being the
only matter which attracted special at
tention.
NJ. Bertillon was severely snubbed by
the presiding officer when he wished to
reply to General Sebert, who had con-
demned his system as fanatic.
AS socx as General Sebert had fin
ished his testimonyM. Bertillon bounced
up and asked to be allowed to speak,
but Colonel Jouaust quickly turned to
the usher and said: "Bring in the next
witness" whereupon NJ. Bertillon, ex-
tremely annoyed, returned to his scat.

DREYFUSP PLOT IS Bare.
Du Patty de Clam Makes Sensa-
tional Revelations.
PLACES GENERALS IN PERIL.

Acting Under Instructions of General
All the Crookedness of Which He Has
Been Guilty-Generals Hold Conference.
NEW YORK, Sept. "A special to The
World from Rennes says: / am in
formed OH the best authority that Col
onel Du Patty de Clam has made the
most sensational revelation, exposing all
the crookedness of which he is guilty,
in obedience to the direct instructions
of his chiefs of the general staff. This
was revealed to Major T~avernier, the
commissioner appointed by Colonel
Jouaust, president of the court-martial,
to take Du Patty de CLAIMS testimony in
Paris, where lie lies i'll.
A meeting Of the generals and Of the
principal satellites is being held in the
house which NJ. Cavaignac, a former
minister Of war, has secretly maintained
here as the headquarters of the inner
circle of the i-Dreyfusites. M. Ca
vaignac pretended to go to Paris after
the fourth day Of the trial. He really
has been in Paris since the first day Of
Major Tavernier's examination Of Du
Patty de Clam. He has been pulling
! wires in the attempt to learn as to what
Du Patty Gle Clam has been testifying.
Cavaignac returned here last night.
Ilearnt hathe brought, if not a complete
copy Of Du Patty Gle CLAIMS testimony,
at least a fairly explicit synopsis of it,.
Upon his return was issued the hurried
summons which gathered the generals
in his house. They are now discussing
their plan of defense. General Roget's
and Captain Cuignet's Abandonment of
him has defiantly antagonized Du Patty
de Clam. All efforts by General Gonse
to pacify him have been in vain. Du
Patty de CLAIMS family has persuaded
him to resign his commission in the
army as soon as he has cleared himself
of all responsibility for this crime
against Dreyfus. So he has no fears;
he does not care.
That M. Cavaignac should have pro-
cured even n synopsis Of Du Patty de
CLAIMS testimony is in itself illegal, for
the law says that testimony so taken
must be kept secret until it is read in
court. But M. Cavaignac risked crime
and called together the generals. They
knew Du Patty de CLAIMS revelations
would place them in extreme danger.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Johannesburg
correspondent Of the Standard says: 1t
is generally understood that there is the
strongest inclination in the volksraad to
repudiate British %suzerainty. A large
section Of the Beers is strictly opposed
to o concession of the franchise on the
basis of a five-year residence, and the
situation is still very grave.

Nothing In the Rumor Of Compromise Be-
tween Aldermen.
A Big CELEBRATION OF LABOR DA,
Has Been Decided On by the Unions.
A Five story business building to
Be Put Up-visitors Were Few.

Galveston. Texas. August 27.--The old
war between the city administration and
the majority of the council was about to
be ended was nipped in the bud this morn
ing by one who ought to know. He de-
clared that all talk OF a compromise was
the merest moonshlne and said that no
slate will be agreed on tomorrow
II will give you an idea OF how the ma
jority proposes to compromise" said he.
AT the last meeting OF the council there
was a lot of talk about giving the chief Of
the force. That sounded well and reso-
luton was passed to that effect. The res
olution had hardly cotton by the shoals
of vote when an amendment was tackled
on that the members of the council were
to have the privilege of submitting three
names each for places on the force. These
recommendations are now in the hands
of the chief There are thirty-six patrol
men on the force and as each of the twelve
alderment want three of them. there will
not be very many left for the chief to
select. Out of the thirty-six names re-
commended to the chief only about
dozen are now on the force and the others
are raw recruits and the men who have
from time to time in the past been drop
ped from the force for one cause or an
other. 1t is fact that one of the men
who has the NEST fowery endorsement
refused to particpte with the police when
they had their trouble on the wharf last
year, giving as his reason that he did moi
propose to get shot at for anybody. The
list is now up to the mayor and the chief
of police and 1t is likely to stay there for
some time TO come. You can put 1t down
as pretty certain there will be no compro-
mise on any such grounds as these
1t is only fair, however, to say that the
author of this is friend of the mayor.
The other side, of course, says that all OF
their friends are patriots pure and simple.
The upshot of 1t all will likely be that
the dogs of war will not be called off vet
awhile.
