OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Practices of the Court Martial Now
Trying Him IrreEular-Verdict of
Guilty Would he Set Aside.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 21.-M. Leon
Bureau, of Paris, formerly private sec
rotary to NJ. Labor, is in this city a
guest of DIR. Adriene Monod, French
vice-consul, He said yesterday that the
| present trial of Dreyfus will result in
! his acquittal. If a verdict of guilty is
| returned the court of cessation. the
higher French authority, will at once
set IT aside and order another court
martialand so on until he is acquitted.
The court of cessation knows that
French law is being juggled by this
military court and there are two
grounds on which it could set aside
such sentence: First, violation of
the law, and, second, an abuse of
power.
when the court of cessation sent
Dreyfus back for a second trial he
was remanded on the charge of having
been the author of the bordereau Now
this is the only thing he could be tried
Tor. Instead of sticking to this the
court has permitted witnesses to tail,
OF his relations with women and other
outside matters which is directly n yio-
latlon of the French law. If some
matter not connected with the border
eau should come up in the Testimony
proving Dreyfus' guilt, this court-mar- |
tai could not try him, the court of |
cessation would have to order a new
trial for the specific purpose"
NJ. Bureau said it was within the
power of the court of cessation TO have
decreed Dreyfus innocent. In fact
there was but two things for the
to do; either adiudge him not
guilty or send him back for re-trial
rms latter proceeding was deemed
best as through retrial medium
would be furnished and so give the
party "A chance to redeem it.

the eyes of the world, and help to take
away the odium an acquittsl by the

1t has been suggested that if one

called upon Yesterday afternoon 10y a
correspondent of the press, who in

position of the anti-Dreyfusites.
Although unable TO receive the cor
respondent in person, Gen. MERCER
sent his oldest son TO convey the fol-
lowing expression Of his views;
Gen. MERCER considers II useless to
attempt TO convert foreign opinion re-
garding the Dreyfus question, in
which, moreover, foreigners have no
right to intervene. Foreign peoples
have been misled by their press, which
is violently Dreyfusard, for the very
good reason that majority of the
foreign newspapers have been bribed
by the Jewish syndicate. Gen. Mer-
cier considers anything he might say
explaining his position, which is that
of majority of the French people,
would be useless. The best reply TO
Drcyfusard statements abroad will be
the condemnation of Dreyfus.
This condemnation is only matte
of ten days or fortnight, for con
demned Drcyfus certainly will be
Foreigners win then see that then
journals have deceived them, for they
will recognize that the mass of the
French nation, who will receive the
news Of the conviction of Dreyfus as

ficials and that if the majority of the
French applaud the condemnation, it
will be because it is Just and merited.'
