ROGET DENIES THAT
 COMPLICITY EXISTED
Generai's Testimony Virtually Speech for the Prosecution, and He Anxiously
 Watched Impression on Prisoner

Rennes, August 16-Referring to the ques- tion of the eomplicity of Henry and Es- terhazy, General Roget said: If Henry had been the aceomplice of Esterhazy, how can it be admitted that he himself brought the bordereau, which might have caused him to be suspected, to the intelligence department?"
 General Roget, while testifying, constant ly turned towards the prisoner to see the impression made by his deposition, which was virtually a speech for the prosecu- tion.
 The general discoursed lengthily on the famous scene with Colonel Henry in the office of M. Bertulus, the examining mag iStrate, and said M. Bertuius asked Henry to Inform the witness that he, M. Bertulus, was friend of the army, and begged the witness to call and see him when he would communicate the result of his investiga- tions into the "Blanche'' and ''Sperauza" forgeries.
 "In reply" said General Roget" he said: 'WheD you see M. Bertulus you will thank him in my behalf. Tell him the investiga- ton does not interest me in any way added that I was rather distrustful of this proposal, which, I pointed out, perhaps was trap.'
 The general added that M. Cavaignac Qhen minister of waD approved of his course toward M. Bertulus. 8f
 The general next dwelt on the seizure of papers at the house of Madame Pays, on which M. Bertulus largely founded his con- viction of the guilt of Henry, owing to the mention in them of a name of a. spy Rich- ard Cuers and Basic, where it was we'll known, spies were in the habit Of meet ing.
 Then tQhe general tried to refute M. Bertulus statement by dec,ating Henry brought three of these documents to the war office and that they did not contain tn enames of Basic or Cuers, as stated by M. Bertuus.
 The latter, however, has already shown before the whole court of cessation that, while he was mistaken in saying the words appeared in these documents they

On leaving the witness box Madame Hen

On leaving the witness box Madame Hen- ry looked sternly at the prisoner.
 General Roget followed. He traversed the old ground, giving his reasons for his convictions for the guilt of Dreyfus. He declared there was no charge against Es- terhazy with the exception of the resem- blanee of his handwriting to that of the bordereau. Moreover, the witness said there had been new facts since the court of cessation, namely, Esterhazy's confess sion that he wrote the bordereau. But he added Esterhazy advanced and withdrew his confession intermittingly.
 If Esterhazy had rendered services to the intelligence department there would have been traces of them in the cash book. But no money had been paid Ester hay, though even supposing he worked out of pure benevolence, he would have been paid. Yet, there was no trace of such payment. Esterhazy had said he wrote the bordereau under the order Of Colonel Sandherr.
 But" declared General Roget, "I, who knew Colonel Sandherr well, declare it is false. Colonel Sandherr was absolutely in- capable of such an order. I add that it is inadmissible because Colonel Sandherr was the last person to know of the existence of the bordereau, which was received in the ordinary way. This bordereau was handed to Colonel Henry, and was brought by him to the intelligence department It was shown to others by Colonel Henry af- ter he had pieced it together. Colonel Sand herr only saw 1t later.
 "Esterhazy has also said the document was stolen from embassy and brought by porter. It Is false to say the intelli- gence department ever had any relations with a porter of that embassy. It is possi- ble Esterhazy Is preparing some sur prises for us between now and the end or The trial They won't disturb me any more than other surprises"

M, LABORI WAS WORSE
 YESTERDAY WITH FEVER
Wounded Counselor Has Not Yet Been ln- formed of Court Martial's Refusal to
 Grant a Continuance of Trial.

Rennes, August 16.-5 p. m.-The corre- spondent here of the Associated Press has just returned from viist to NJ. Labori, who is lying at the residence of Professor Basch, an old rambling house. situated in a walled garden on the outskirts of Rennes. He found, unfortunately. that the wounded lawyer was worse. slight fever nas re- turned.
 The X-ray photographs are now being de- veloped so the position of the bullet is not yet discovered.
 Madame Labori is beginning to feel the effects of the nervous shock and fatigue.
 M. Hill. secretary of M. Labori, said 1t had not been thought advisable to inform the patient today of the refusal of the pres ident of the corTtmartial to adjourn the sessions in view of counsers condition.
 The decision of Colonel Jouaust mot to adjourn the court has created very bad impression in Dreyfusard circles, and pessj- mistic predictions as to the outcome of the trial It Is pointed out that the decision of the members of the court not to adjourn being unanimous shows that not one of the judges is well disposed toward the pris- oner.
 Emile Zola has telegraphed saying: "On learning of the outrage send you the eX- precision of my indignant anger. My heart is full of tenderness and admiration for you"
 M. Demange had a long consultation with Matthew Dreyfus this evening respecting todays session of the courtmartial, the gravity of which is fully recognized.
 M. Demange is much upset by the loss of the assistance of his colleague, particu- larly as M. Labori had prepared a special set of questions for General Roget, and the absence of this, together with the fact that M. Labori's secretary was compelled to be away put M. Demange to great dis advantage. Counsel for the defense, how ever. will take General Roget in hand the first thing tomorrow.
 The great disappointment of the Dreyfus family and M. Demangs. however, is the refusal of the court to adjourn when ap- piled to this morning. This is considered a grave portent, as 1t is taken to be bn in- dication that the members of the court martial have already made up their minds minds unfavorable to Dreyfus.

A Large Assembly.

The usual weekly assembly dance took place in the Sylvester block on Saturday last. The attendance that evening was the largest since Professor EdsOn took it in hand to teach the peo- pie the graceful art of tripping the light fantastic. Everyone appeared to have left their business cares be- hind them, and one and all joined in having good time. Light refresh ments were served during the evening: and as the clock sounded the midnight hour. everyone retired to their respec- tive homes feeling, no doubt, that these weekly dances are like an oasis in the desert of life.

Of a truth this is but a small world, and it's area is daily getting more cir cumscribed owing to moro rapid means of transportation. striking proof of aforesaid smallness of this earth occur red in the office of this publication yes- terday evening, when Mir Louis Wat son. of Watsonville, who has just re- turned nom Dease lake met Mr. w. J. Smith of the Wrangel Fish Curing Co.,
 The two men were well acquainted on the diamond-fields of South Africa 30 years ago, where they were both engaged in mining for the precious stones during the stirring times of l869- 1876.
 It is needless to state that they were both delighted to have talk about old times, and we could not get in word edgeways, in fact much of what the two gentlemen talked about was Greek to the scribe.

The EdSOn Academy.

Prof. Edson intends in the near future erecting building to be utilized as a Terpsichorean Academy. We have been privileged to examine the plans and specifications of same and they are most ornate. It will be circular build ing with waiting, dressing and refresh ment rooms included. The floor of the building will be composed of ingrain work, polished after secret process of the Professors own. The interior dec- oration will be mainly composed of clas- sic reproductions of Correggio and Titan. The apartment which will be devoted to the dispensing of light re- treatments will be miracle of art, to attempt to depict it in accordance with the plans would simply beggar discrip- tion, we may however state that among the numerous paintings will be that "Chef de ouvre' of Altheny Jones, "Napoleon crossing the Alps in an open boat" The waiting and dressing rooms will be marvel of combined ele- gance and comfort. and the whole will be 8 great evidence of the enterprise and public spiritedness of our worthy citizen Prof. Edson, and will also be yet one more building of which our city may justly feel proud.

These gentlemen came to Wrangel some six or seven weeks ago and went up the Stikeen river to the Dease and Teslin lake country where they have since been hunting with indifferent success, having only secured one black bear and moose.
 Their lack of success as hunters was no doubt due to the fact that Mir. Lang worthy was suffering from 8 lame foot, the result of an injury of years ago.
