Utah Boys Welcomed.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 19.-Batteries A
and B, Utah artillery, arrived from San
Francisco at 1890 today. The soldiers
were given hearty welcome at the depot
by large and enthusiastic crowd. VAR
ious military organizations and civic So
cieties escorted the returning volunteers
through gaily decorated streets to CAL
der's park, where the governor and other
state officers delivered addresses of well
come. Responses We're made by Majors
r. w. Young and f. A. Grant. After dis
tributing state badges to all the state
volunteers an elegant luncheon was
served in the park. All business was sus-
pended for the day. and thousands of
people congregated all along the line of
march General w. Fl. Penrose was
grand marshal and all military and civic
societies of the city and principal cities
and towns in the state took part in the
parale.

No Chance Of AcQuittal.

London, Aug. 19.-Revelations of fur
ther forgeries, disavowals by foreign dip
lomatists and even Colonel Picquart's
evidence seem to fail to remove the deep
ening conviction in the minds of specta-
tors at the court martial being held in
Rennes that Captain Dreyfus has no
chance of acquittal. It is alleged that
members of the court martial have re-
fused to even take the trouble to read
copies of the court of cassations evidence
on the ground that they are fully compe-
tent to conduct an Independent inquiry,
and that this accounts for the ignorance
displayed at the trial and the tedious
character of the proceedings. Advocate
Moinard, who is assisting Maitre De-
mango of counsel for the defense. and
who watched the progress OF the case
yesterday, could not help remarking the
partiality Colonel Jouaust displayed,
especially his hostility toward Picquart,
who gave testimony in favor Of the ac-
cused man. Should Maitre Labori, as
now seems likely, resume his place as
chief counsel for the defense Monday or
Tuesday, it is probable his provocative
manner in cross-examinatiOn will irritate
the court much more than NJ. Demange's

Chinese ConSul'S Appeal.

San Francisco. Aug. 19.-Ho Vow, the
local Chinese consul general, has just
issued printed appeal to American cap
itaists. imploring them to organize a
gigantic corporation to take advantage
of the splendid commercial advantages
offered in China. The document, which
Ho Vow now asserts was not issued by
him in an official character has created
considerable comment in diplomatic cir
cles In fact, many experienced diplo-
mats go SO far as to criticize the Chinese
consul for uttering in his appeal what
they term anti-European sentiments
The consul openly refers them to the
friendly feelings his people hold for the
United States and intimates that the
GO, ernment he represents has little love
fC. the European powers.

Paris Press Comment.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The Paris papers are
full Of comments on Colonel Schneider's s
telegram. The Rennes correspondent of
the Petit Bleu says: General Mercier
will protest against the allegation that
the letter is forgery. He declares that
it is authenticated by comparison with
other documents from the same source.
The Figaro says: General Mercier's only
way to prove his good faith is to name
the person who gave him the document
and to prove that this person got it in
legitimate way.
The Rappel says: The Schneider for
gerry shows that in order to accumulate
proofs against Dreyfus resort had to be
made to another lie MERCER Picard.
NJ. Jaures, in the Petit Republque, de-
mands an investigation of the Schneider
matter.
The Echo de Paris says: Such little
foreign maneuvers are intended to inn
pose upon the court martial and were
quite expected.

THE REMARKABLE FEAT
Of Picquart and the Many Forgeries
Seem to Have no Effect.
PRISONERS CHANCES Of ACOU|TTAL
Appear to Be Quite Slim According to the Views
Of Those Who Watched the Actions of the
Judges-Labori Will Appear In Court Mon
day or Tuesday-The Assaiant Said to Be
Entirely Surrounded.

Rennes, Aug 19.-The trial of Dreyfus
was resumed this morning at $50, no
special incidents marking the opening of
the proceedings. The first witness was
! Captain Guignet, an aide -de-camp at the
ministry of war, who was commissioned
| by General Come last year to classify
and arrange the different documents con-
nected with the Dreyfus, Esterhazy and
Plcquart affair. Captain Gugnet de-
clared that he was convinced of the guilt
of the accused.
! The first witness in the Dreyfus case
today was Major Cuignet, formerly at
tached to the ministry of war.
He was cross examined by NJ De-
mango. The witness declared that he was
convinced Of the prisoners guilt, but
counsel for the defense pointed out that
several of his statements contradicted
his previous depositions.
! Colonel Jouaust asked Dreyfus if he
had anything to say, whereupon the pris-
oner vehemently protested against the
denunciation leveled against him, an in
nOcent man.
"All the details which Major Cugnet
has given on this subject" said the pris-
oner, "sDrang out of his own imagna-
ton and are due to the same state Of
mind which prompts the unreasoning
/ bitterness even against an innocent
man."
General Boisdeffre, former chief of the
general staff, was the next witness. He
hurriedly reviewed the leakage in the
ministry of war, the discovery of the
bordereau, the arrest and trial Of Drey-
fus and the latter's alleged confession.
The witness believed the confessions
We're genuine. He next referred to Colo
mel Picquart's appearance in the intelli-
gence department.
! The witness said that Colonel Picquart
never doubted the guilt Of Dreyfus, and
never even expressed doubts of his guilt,
when he took over the duties of the inteli-
gence department. Witness next de-
/ scr.bed an interview between himself and
| Plcquart, when the latter first mentioned
Esterhazy, without however, connecting
i him with the Dreyfus affair. The witness
d.scredited Picquart's statement that the
! latter asked him (witnessD not to mention
/ the investigation to General GonZ. The
! witness then related incidents Of his in
! terview with Picquart, how he sent Pic
quart to General Gonz and Gonz's subse-
| quent visit to witness advising him to
continue the invest gat.on in regard to
! Esterhazy, but adding that the affair
must not be mixed up with the Dreyfus
case.
"At that time" witness said, st was
convinced of the guilt Of Dreyfus, and
this conviction is as strong today as
,;ot,n &c ho
same as al the commencement of the af-
fair. Esterhazy, it is true, confessed to
having written the bordereua, but he has
made many other statements. He is al
ways telling lies.'
| Witness referred to the trial and acquit-
| tai of Esterhazy, then alluded to the
Henry forgery and Caivagnacs interro-
cations of Henry.

Navigator Was Careless.

Manila, Aug. 19.-The board appointed
to examine into the causes of the ground
ing of the United States cable ship Hook
er. which recently went ashore near the
mouth of Corregidor harbor, finds that
the accident occurred in daylight on Il
reef shown on the chart, and that there
were evidences of careitssness on the
part of the navigator of the vessel. If
no storm intervenes, hopes are enter
tanned that the vessel may be hauled off
and repaired. Her hull was badly torn
by the coral reef on which she struck.

Indian War Exaggerated.

San Diego, Cal, Aug. ia letter re-
ceived in this city from NJ. Marks. one of
the proprietors of the Grand hotel at
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. contains the
information that the reports sent to this
country concerning the Yaqui Indian
trouble have been greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Marks claims to have obtained relia-
BILE information from an employe whom
he detailed to investigate the conditions
existing between the Mexicans and the
Indians.
1.-THE Yaqui insurrection is confined
only to the towns of Wiskam and Bo-
cam" says Mr. Marks. The government
has sufficient forces in the field to sup
press the trouble within the next few
weeks. None of the Yaquis have left the
great haciendas of the Gendares or Don
Andres Canon, where there are at least
$50 Yaquis living. They are all peace

PicQuart's Able Speech.

New York, Aug. 19.-The Rennes corre-
spondent of the Tribune, discussing yes
terday's session of the Dreyfus trial,
says: Colonel Picquart has formulated
the most discriminating indictment of the
former chiefs of the general staff yet
brought to light, and, in the opinion of
eminent jurists, his evidence, which for
five consecutive hours held the atten-
ton of the court and public and was de-
livered without consulting note and
without hesitation or repetition of sim
gle word or phrase, constitutes the most
remarkable specimen Of oral testimony
ever recorded in a French court of JUS
tice. The narrative, not once interrupted
or aided by a question of Maitre De-
! mango, removed one by one the tissue OF
lies ella borately woven by Henry and Du
Patty de Clam to fix Esterhazy's crime
upon Captain Dreyfus.
Neither Mercier nor Roget, in their
dramatic confrontations with Colonel
Picquart, dared deny any substantial ele-
ment of his Testimony which, to any i'm
partial observer, sets forth as clearly as
| sunshine the overwhelming presumption
that it was Esterhazy and not Dreyfus
who wrote the bordereau and delivered
to Germany the documents enumerated
in it. 1t is painfully evident that Colonel
Picquart is Captain Dreyfus' sole de-
fender. Maitre Demange seems as if
glued to his seat, his questions submitted
to the cour. with view to cross-ex
ming the witnesses for the prosecution
are perfunctory, while he never aids nor
draws out favorable developments from
his own witnesses. 1t is scarcely possi-
bic for anyone not following the proceed
| lngs here in court to appreciate the ter
rible loss the defense has. sustained by
the shot fired by Maitre Labori's would
be assassin.

! We are creditably informed that
! while the original invoice Of
{ this stock amounted to $25, 900,

: pany of that city and Butte,

; strength of this purchase the

I proved to be the most success
{ full sale of jewelry ever made in

s ton of the Butte house of j.

{ in the same manner. AS the
