will be completed Friday next. A public
session, therefore, will take place Sat
urday morning. The dossier consists of
about 4U0 documents of which fifty
were disposed Of yesterday.
Several of the documents are written
in German. During the proceedings to-
day German dictionary was sent for,
and the correspondent here Of the Asso-
ciated Press learns from sure source
that when certain words and expressions
could not be exactly understood, even
with the aid of the dictionary, Dreyfus
who is perfect German scholar. vol

to give explanations, which were of
valuable assistance to the members of
the court.

day were much more stringent than yes
terday. Strong detachments of infantry,
instead of gendarmes, cordoned the
streets leading to the Lycee.
Absolutely nobody but police and sol
diers were thus within 100 yards of
Dreyfus when he crossed the avenue de
la Care.
The police authorities explain the
rigor Of these measures on the ground
that yesterday a few cries against the
prisoner were raised while he was cross
ing the avenue. Not discordant note
was heard anywhere today.

removal will be the second of the kind
from York county. About one year ago

The Springvale concern has been run
