| Rennes France, July 4.-Maitre Lab

fus ut 10 O'Clock this morning. remain
ing with him until noon. The lawyer
found the prisoner to be in even better
spirits than yesterday. and in the resist
ance Dreyfus has shown the frightful
blow he suffered in the Judgment of the
court martial and his terrible existence
| on Devils Island. combined with his
remarkable recuperation of physical and
mental strength since he left Cayenne,
Maitre Labor saw the strongest proofs
Of his innocence. Counsel was almost
joyful in appearance on leaving the MI
itary prison, and beyond doubt his inter
views with Dreyfus have given him the
most favorable impression respecting the
outcome of the court martial.
Dreyfus spent yesterday evening aud
this morning studying the documents
relating to the Esterhazy and lola trials
Maitre Labor, during his mornings
conference. explained to him the obscure
points. DreyfuS was naturally astonish-
ed at many incidents and at the atti-
tude of many persons since his deporta-
ton.
Madame ana Matthew Dreyfus are
to see the prisoner this afternoon when
Maitre Labori will again visit him.

journ at his chateau after the prisoners
acquittal, OF which the Prince expressed
himself as confident. The Comte. who
charges the prince with interfering in
an affair in which you are in no way con-
cerned,' says:
If, as a foreign sovereign. you thought
you could influence French officers in the
grave verdict they are about to pro-
nounce, | beg you to note that we do not
stand on an equal footing. as none OF us
would condescend to call to account q
prince who is under tutelage.
''You are, perhaps, a relative of Drey-
fus by marriage, but in that case. it is
premature to triumph. If. ON the other
hand, 1t is as protector of gambling
houses that you intervene, permit me to
tell you that Dreyfus would himself dis
