SECOND TRIAL.
Opening Of the Court Martial
Which Will Give Him Liberty.
THE FAMOUS SECRET Doss1BR.

Lis Document Being Considered Be
hind Closed Doors, and the First
Public Session WIN Probably BE
Held on Thursday.
Rennes, France, Aug. THE second
trial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus on the
charge of treason, brought about by
the recent agitation throughout the
civilized world, began this morning.
After the Indictment had been read the
president of the court martial, Colonel
Jouauast, ordered the doors closed for
the consideration of the secret dossier,
which will be presented by General
Chamein. The consideration of the
dossier, It is expected, will occupy two
days, SO that the public session will
probably be on Thursday, although per-
haps not until Friday. The general
impression is that the whole proceed
ings will occupy at least three weeks,
The town is extremely animated but
everywhere perfect tranquility pre-
walls. Public interest is concentrated
upon the arrival from Paris of various
! personages likely to figure In the trial
of Captain Dreyfus. Among those are
Generals De Boisdeffre, Cons and Ro-
get, M. Godefrey Cavaignac, former
minister of war, and M, Casimir-Perier,
| former president of France.
A large crowd greeted the generals
on alighting from the train with cries
of "Vlve Parmee." The revisionist
spectators responded with "Vive la re-
publique," but there was no disturb
ance of order
M. Casimer-Perier, who was much
fatigued by the long railway journey,
decided to walk TO the hotel, hoping
that he would not be recognized but
his identity soon became known and a
large crowd followed him as he walked
slowly along, chatting with the pre-
feet of police and the chief of the So
cret police, NJ, Yiguir, who met him at
the railway station. The crowd made
no demonstration. The authorities
however deem 1t wise to maintain the
most stringent precautions for the
safety of the former president, and six
gendarmes patrol the front of the hotel
where he has apartments while q
number of detectives watch the en-
trance hall closely and scan all ar
rivals

shown a friendly spirit towards the
Americans II was thought they would
not molest them when they do go on

MIR. CUMMINGs ON MIR. REED
rom the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times
 ''I met Tom Reed down in Florida few
 months ago." said Representative Amos
 Cummings yesterday. "John E. Lamb, a
 former representative from Indiana, was
 with me. Lamb is one of the brightest and
 best story tellers that have ever met,
 and never enjoyed an evening more than
 the one in question. Reed talked Lamb
 talked. and I contributed my share to the
 conversation. If had had my wits about
 me I would have recognized the fact that
 the drift of Reeds talk pointed to his re-
 tirement from congress. He discussed all
 of the current topics of the day freely.
 Down in his heart Reed firmly believes that inc battleship Maine was blown up from the inside; that Spain was in no way re- sponsible for it. He is also opposed to any acquisition of territory by this country. The annexation of the Hawaiian islands
 was in direct opposition to his judgment, and he sincerely thought 1t to be a mis-
 take. He however, recognized the fact that public sentiment was against him. and
 that explains, in my opinion. his decision to retire from public life After I got back to my hotel in Florida following my talk with
 Reed I fell to thinking over what he had said. Tt means that he Is going to quit was the verdict I had reached when Lamb came in. He had formed the same impress sion and frankly expressed it. We both discussed the matter, however, and reach 1 cd the conclusion that we must be mis- | taken: that tcouid not be possible that Tom Reed actually had made up his mind | to resign from congress. And yet there was no other interpretation to be placed on MT. Reeds conversation. What big news paper scoop I might have scored if had comprehended the real drift of MT. Reeds talk. MT. Reed is opposed to expansion in any direction. apparently. He is not in sympathy with the public sentiment of the times. He may have some faint idea of eventually reaching the white house. but ,u .pv opinion his retirement rnarks the end of his political career. He will not be heard of again in all probability In the poli- tics of the country"

Louisville & Nashville Officials Inquii- ing Into Matter of Terminal Facilities

Selma, May 12.-(Special )--Today num- Der of the Louisville and Nashville officials who, after making a tour of inspection of the Pineapple division, came to Selma to make an investigation into the matter of terminal facilities and crossing the river at this point instead of at Gulf Junction, nine miles from here.
 In the party were the following officials: R. Montferd, chief engineer of the Louis- vile and Nashville; J. I. Mckinney, super intendent M. and M division Louisville and Nashville railroad; R. M. Quigley, of R. M. Quigley & Co.,, contractors; John Marston, Jr., chief engineer of construc- ton; F. L. Moore, president Southern Ala bama and Alabama and Florida railroad; F. o. Saltmarsh, superintendent Pensacola division Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 In conversation with MT. Quigley he stated that about S,000 men are at work on the completion of the Repton gap, the work being done on every mile of the dis tance at the same time.
 "The gap will be finished" said Mir Quigley, ''by September 30." The matter sf coming direct s'o FsiBla will be de- termined upon after the visit here today of the officials.
