Dreyfus Trial Wednesday,.

Rennes, Aug. 3l.-At the opening Of
the Dreyfus trial yesterday M. Paul Mey-
err, member of the institute and director
of the school of ancient manuscripts, was
the first witness called. He deposed in
favor of Dreyfus. After Moliniere and
CRY and M. Picot, members of the insti-
tue, testified in favor of Dreyfus, Gen
eral De Loye testified against the prison
er on the artillery references in the bor-
dereau.
The evidence Of Meyer, Moliniere and
Giry, who are handwriting experts of the
first rank, was a strong point for Drey-
fus. They were most emphatic in declar-
ing the bordereau was written by Ester
hazy, and created better impression than
Bertillon.
General MERCER asked to be allowed to
reply to Moliniere, and then confirming
the professors statement that Esterhazy
had changed his writing since 1894, puz-
zled the audience. That Esterhazy should
have deemed it advisable to change his
handwriting since the date of the Dor
dereau, which appears at first sight to in.
dictate that he wrote it, and that MERCER
should support Moliniere, aroused discus
sion as to its import.

Yokohama, Aug. 3l.-Via Victoria
Yokohama saw on the night of August Il
the greatest fire in her history. A densely
populated square mile OF the town was
burned with loss OF 10 lives and from
$5,000,000 to $6,OO0,0OO in property.
The disaster falls heavily upon homeless
people. Some Of them strongly imbucd
with western notions Of lynch law, formed
mob and proceeded to attack the owner
Of the house in which the fire originated
The man has died of his wounds. Apart
from the demonstrations, the calamity has
been taken with the utmost cheerfulness
Large relief subscriptions have flowed in
Rebuilding was actively progressing amid
the embers the day following the fire and
in week or two little or no trace OF the
disaster will be seen.
There is still much speculation over the
supposed new relations between Japan
and China and Russia. The most probable
outcome it is thought will be an excess o.
cordiality between the first two nations
similar to that which now exists between
the Anglo-Saxon people.
There has been nothing of late to indi
cate that the treaty revision has wrought
the slightest change in the relations o
foreigners to the japanese government
and people. Everything flows on smooth
ly and tremendously as under the oil,
regime.

The Secret Understanding.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-A special from OF,
tawa, Ont, says:
Washington dispatches relating to an
alleged secret understanding between the
United States authorities and Premier
Laurier are regarded here as having some
foundation in fact, though they may be
to some extent conjectural. Any under,
standing is necessarily unwritten and pri.
vate, it is stated. 1t is unofficial and tenn.
porary, and disposes finally of none of the
questions, but simply holds matters in
statu quo.
The secret understanding, according to
ministerial circles here, is merely to hold
in check and defer possible demonstra-
tons provoked by the intention Of the
president to cede to Canada free port in
the Lynn canal in return for Canadas re.
linquishing her claims to the entire head
waters of the inlet, including Dyea, Skag
way and Pyramid harbor.

Step Toward Independence.

Washington, Aug. Silt is expected
that the presidents proclamation relating
to the taking of the census in Cuba will
be made public at Havana very soon.
Although it is well known that the tax
ing of the census is intended as prelimin
airy step to the establishment of repub
lican form of government in Cuba, 1t is
positively stated at the war department
that there is nothing in the census procla'
nation to conflict the assertion that the
United States intends to give immediate
independence to Cuba. The taking of the
census will be followed by municipal cleo
tons and the Inauguration of autonomy
in localities where it is practicable.
The withdrawal of American troops and
the determination of existing military
government is not looked for, at the ear
liest, for several months yet.
