COL. PICQUART'S TESTIMONY.
Looked Upon Most Incriminnt- Ing Indictment of Former
 Chiefs of General Staff.

New York. Aug. 2O.-The Rennes correspondent of the Tribune, discuss ing Fridays session of the Dreyfus trial, says:
 Col. 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 rivetted the attention of the court, and public, and was delivered without consulting a note and without hesitation or repeti- tion of a single word or phrase, con- stitutes the most remarkable specimen of oral testimony ever recorded in a French court of justice. The narrative, not once interrupted or aided by question of Maitre Demange, removed one by one the tissue elaborately- woven by Henry and Paty de Clam to fix Esterhazy's crime upon Capt. Drey- fus.

 The Rennes correspondent of the Petit Bleu, says: Gen. 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: Gen. Mercier's only way to prove his good faith is to name the person who gave him the document, and to prove that this per. son got it in a legitimate way"
 The Rappel says: 1.-The Schneider forgery shows that, in order to ae- cumulate proofs against Dreyfus re. so.t has been had to another Le Mer. cier Picard
 Nj. Jaurez. in the ePtite Republique, demands an investigation of the Schneider matter.

Schnetlein says:
 The persecution of us, as we'll as scores of other American miners, be- gan months ago. and has grown in in- tensity, so that now an Americans life is in constant danger in the Atlin country. We were forced to abandon our claims, and were allowed q hours to leave"

MARKS A POLITICAL EPOCH.
The Rejection of the Canal Din by the Prussian Diet May Have
 Far-Reaching Consequences.

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The newspapers of this city recognize the fact that thu rejection by the diet of the canal bill marks an epoch in the political his tory of the country, and point out that the conservatives, for the first time since the formation of the empire, have openly detied mandate of their sovereign.
 One of the results of the political situation is that the socialists are ap. plauding the frmness of the agrarian junllers in upholding the principles oi constitutional right.
 The question of the dissolution of the diet, as a result of the defeat of the canal bill, is much talked about, bust such step is not likely until the upper house has approved the new civil code. Opinion is much divided as to what Emperor William may do in the matter, many persons believing that the ministry will resign, and that their resignation will be accepted. In any case, it is asserted, the govern ment will have to encounter in the next elections a great moral force, the conservative iunkers having hitherto been invariably on its side.

WERE READY FOR A BREAK.
Prisoners In tho Fort Sheridan Guardhouse Barely Miss
 Break for Liberty.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-H Hidden in th> clothing of one of the prisoners at the Fort Sheridan guardhouse, Sunday, was found the key to the post magt- zine. On other prisoners the officers, Investigating a supposed jail delivery plot discovered razors. knives, powder and cartridges. Further examination by Capt. +. D. Boughton, of the Fifth artillery, and Lieut.. Macoch, disclosed the fact that the three upright bars in the window of the guardhouse had been sawed through and the two hori- Zontal bars had been sawed until the eXerting of a little strength would break them. The 42 prisoners in the guardhouse would have found it an easy matter to obtain their libert '. The officers are satisfied that but for the escape of Private Miller, on Sat urday, the plot to free the men would have been put in execution that night.
 It is opposed the prisoners secured the magazine key in the hope that the guards might be deprived of ammuni- tion. When the cartridges found on the prisoners were examined it was found that the powder had been removed from four of them. and knife-b blades had been inserted in the lead. The cart. ridges resembled the ordinary article on the outside. The lead evidently had been melted and the knife blades sol dered in.
 The sergeant who commanded the aY.,1 b., ,,1o in arrest, but he is not believed to have been implicated in the plot. Sentinel Staice also has been placed in arrest, and it is probable that he will be pun ished for permitting Miller 10 escane.
