PIceUART WAS MAGNIFICENT.
Made Favorable Impression Upon
All Who Heard Him.

Rennes, Aug. 17-Colonel Picquar,
was magnificent today, as he marched
into court, tall and strongly built,
dressed in frock coat and wearing the
ribbon of the Legion OF Honor in his
butronhole. His first words sounded
through the court room like trumpet
blast, as he replied to the questions of
the president, giving his name, etc. His
advent was ike Il fresh breeze clearing
away tine .oul atmosphere OF the pre-
vious sittings.
The colonel began his deposition in
the high. resonant Voice CT = man de-
termined to abide by every word ut
tered. He was pale, but had look of
grim determination on his face. He
looked the members of the courtmartial
straight in the eyes, and once assumed
a cold demeanor towards them, giving
Colonel Jouaust, the president of the
court, just such Difference as the latter
could demand, but not scrap more.
The strength of character of Colonel
Picquart and the attitude he intended
to adopt in court was shown at the out
set, when, having been already stopped
by Colonel Jouaust from entering into
certain explanations, he came to the
reasons why he entered the war office,
and declared:
Il am going to explain in a few words
L
in Iesolute tone, and that will not be
much.'
Picquart spoke palpably under the
influence of strong emotion, but
throughout he maintained complete
mastery over himself. IIe accompanied
his statements with energetic gestures
and with an information that brought
out every point he wished to make, and
he made manE, as the incessant muir
of oil Of fan
showed.
From the beginning to the end, the
testimony of the colonel was spoken
without he station, and his facts were
arranged and submitted in lucid, TN
e'iulvocal language, which w0s striking
testimony of his finely wrought intel
ligcnCe. He was very effective with
some simple phrase as when repeating
the late Colonel Henry's theatrical de-
lie turned towards Dreyfus, ana, point
ing. to him with his finger, said:
Henry said il just as 1 am saying
il now" and every one in court today
had the scene at once before their eyes.
The strongest point made by Colonel
PiCquart was undoubtedly against Patty
du Clam, on the latter's motive in al
tering the date of the 5ordereau.
Picquart's arguments and courageous
attitude undoubtedly impressed the
members Of the courtmartial and ellie
tied a continual ripple of admiration
from the audience. But there was no
demonstration, either on his entering or
leaving the court.
Great precautions had been taken to
prevent any attack upon Ficquart.
Cavalry and mounted gen d'armes kept
the public a quarter of a mile from the
court, and the streets were swarming
with policemen and Detectives
Madame Henry made poor impress
sion in conformation with Magistrate
Bertullus, and from the tone of her
voice and absence of emotion, it was
plainly seen that ner intervention was
prearranged, and that she simply re-
peated what she had committed TO
memoir.

DREYFUS' ONLY HOPE.
German Government Must Reveal
Name of Real Traitor.

London, Aug. 1.-THE correspondents
of London papers in Rennes are almost
unanimous in taking a gloomy view of
the prospects of Captain Dreyfus. They
seem to believe it likely that he will be
found guilty.
The representative of the Daily Tele-
graph says that unless the German
government reveals the name of the
real traitor it is quite on the cards that
the same verdict will be rendered as in
the previous courtmartial.

Disastrous Expedition of a Party of
Gold Seekers.
WAS AN EXPENSIVE TRIP
THEIR ALASKA OUTFIT COST
THEM AN EVEN $4,000.
Succeeded In Digging Out $4,000
Worth of Gold Dust-Were All
From Chicago, and They Are Now
Returning Home Loaded Down
With Hard Luck Stories.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. Nv. H.
Rosecaulp of Chicago, who was a mem
Der of the Dusty Diamond party of
Chicago, has returned here from
Alaska with an interesting story con-
corning the fortunes of that party. The
party was composed of fifty men. MEM
bers of the. Chicago fire department
and manufacturers of that city. They
sailed from Seattle in May, 1897, in
tending to go to Dawson City. Through
ill luck they reached ST. Michael late
and were detained there untilsit be-
came too late to make the upriver trip.
Then they headed for the Fish River
country in the Golovin bay district
from which good reports were coming.
There they have remained ever since.
Their expedition outfit cost an even
$4,000; $1,000 being put into the propo-
sition by every member of the party.
After sixteen months of enduring hard
ships and privations they have been
enabled to draw out $500 to the man.
The party is now broken up and dis
persed. Thirty mine of the men worked
steadily through June and July last
sluicing on some claims owned by the
party on Ophir creek, a small tributary
to the Neukluk river in the Golovin
bay country. For this two months
Work tley got only Sf,UUU, WHICH was
divided pro rata among the fifty men.
Hard Work For Little Money.
Bed rock they found from eighteen
inches to four feet below the surface.
There was an immense amount of
water in the creek and a great deal of
dam had to be built in order to make
it possible to sluice at ALL
Throughout the long winter months
the party worked laboriously, whip
saving lumber and preparing for the
season. The winter was
passed without great hardship. owing
to the abundance of fuel and the large
amount of supplies on hand.
Finally coming TO the conclusion that
the Dusty Diamond expedition was not
to be a success, the members decided
to liquidate and wind up the affairs of
the company. They sold the steamer
which cost them $4,000 for $1,000, to the
Alaska Exploration company. They
sold a lot of their goods and during
the open season made some money
with the steamer.
Twelve of the party returned to
Seattle by the Alliance. Captain

and who was once a CAP
tain in the Chicago fire department.

Party Discipline All Essential.

This is not the year." says the court journal. flor committee domination" the reference being. of course, to the naming by the state executive committee of a day in April for the selection of legislative can didates. The Age-Herald desires to express the opinion that the year 1900 is emphatical- ly year for party unity and party or sanization and party discipline. It is presidential year, and any weakening of the lines in Alabama will be felt in other states. An adverse result in this state in August would be severely felt. It would be extremely embarrassing and hurtful. and it would be difficult to explain it away.
 The populists and republicans think they see such a result shining through the rents that the court journal invites and is striv- ing to render possible. The populists have resolved through their state executive com mittee to make a straightout, determined campaign. putting up full state ticket, presenting a candidate for United States senator, and contesting every county office. The republicans are also said to be active and hopeful. They will endeavor to take advantage of any divisions that present themselves.
 The Age-Herald is therefore justified in saying that 1900 is particularly year for party discipline and party unity; and any one who believes that the dominance of the democratic part is all essential to the states safety and prosperity will closely follow the duly selected authorities of the party. Until a state convention can meet the sole governing authority of the demo- cratic party of the state is the state execu- tive committee. In state matters it acts as absolutely as the national committee acts in national matters. It speaks and acts for the Alabama democracy in like sense and to a like extent.
 No democrat can afford to follow the court journals advice. It means party dis organization, and therefore party defeat. What defeat of the democratic party means in this state, some can remember, and none will invite-at least not outside of court circles.

BACK TAX MEN NEGLIGENT

From the Opelka POSt.
 The tax commissioner of Walker county should look after the assessments of one Joseph F. Johnston, now governor of Ala bama. From published statements it seems that 12,535 acres of land in that county, owned by Governor Johnston and General Rucker, were given in for taxes at 5000, or s279 per acre; and that the mineral rights alone in 2,969 acres of the same lands were sold for s33, 100, or s1111 an acre. The mineral rights in less than one-fourth of the lands brought nearly the assessed value of the whole tract. Again, the American Coal and Coke company, said to be owned and controlled by the same gentlemen, have just sold for $125, ,0OO their coal lands given in for taxes a s19,SO0. Our "business'' gov- ernor should have his own tax assessments revised by the tax commissioner.

COLLAPSE OF INDUSTRIES

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Promoters and professional manipuators have succeeded in uloading upon weak in- vestors a great variety of industrial stocks, nearly all of them having some merit, but watered to the limit. Whenevr there gs a little pressure upon the part of money lend CTS these stocks collapse by sinking to smoothing near their actual value. Weak investors are shaken out; then ensues a season of recovery and recuperation, and in due time the ghme is played over again.
 It is a gross abuse of terms ta call these collapses in speculative values actual losses. They are a mere letting out of wind. bene- ficial process from relieving the fatulency of the markets by enforced liquidations, with results which are advantageous to legitimate business.
