BILLOT'S TESTIMONY
IN DREYFUS CASE
Former Minister of War Censured the
Course of Lieutenant
Picu11art

PARIS, April 23.-The Figaro, continu-
ing it's publication of testimony offered
before the Court of Cessation in the
Dreyfus revision inquiry, gives to-day
the deposition of General Billot, recently
Minister of War. General Billot denied
absolutely any knowledge that Ester
hazy had rendered services to the gem
eral staff or had had interviews with
staff officers. He declared that the al
location of $4,000 farncs to Esterhazy
would have been impossible because of
the restricted resources of the IntelH-
gence Bureau.
He admitted he had recommended
Colonel Picquart's prudence in the in
vestgations aiming to incriminate Ester
hazy, and had refused to authorize Gen
erai de Boisdefree to send Picquart to
Tonquin. He told of the latter's en-
deavors to entrap Esterhazy by inviting
him to write a letter, adding that he
(Billot) opposed this plan.
Finally Colonel Picquart seized one of
Esterhazy's letters while in the post. and
on representations by General Come of
the danger of such seizure, he (Billot)
declined to send Picquart into exile. The
Witness repudiated, however. any idea of
sending him on a perilous mission,
General Billot denied ever having said
that Dreyfus ought to be assassinated.
In concluding his evidence, he maintained
the seriousness Of Colonel Picquart's con-
duct,

three or four were in the water. I
think two women went down in the
hull, but am not sure Of it. It was
clear enough to see everything plainly
and the trouble seer to be a lack Of
caution. The Kingston was not ex-
pecting the GlenoFle and got ratified" >"
The Glenogle was in charge of Cap
tain Cater of the North American
Mail Steamship Company. The most
plausible theory advanced. after a
study of the stories told. is that the
Kingston was proceeding toward Ia
coma under the impression that the
Glenogle was lying at her dock When
the Victoria liner rounded the point
and the Glenogle loomed UP just ahead
the Kingstons officers were. at least
momentarily, confused.
It is said the GlenogIe signaled the
Kingston to pass outside and had this
been done, witnesses say, the accident
would not have occurred. The King
ston's officers were probably unable to
distinguish the whistles, and in tho
attempt to pass inside ran directly
across the bows of the Glenogle. The
Glenogle was probably acting on the
theory that the Kingston would pass
as she had been signaled to do. The re-
suit was that both vessels were headed

The torch was applied to the pyre, the
negro was deprived of his ears, fingers
and other portions of his anatomy.
The negro pleaded pitifully for his
life while the mutilation was going on,
but stood the ordeal of fire with sur
prising fortitude. Before the body was
cool it was cut to pieces, the bones

the tree upon which the wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed of as

and a bit of the liver crisply cooked

was dead there was a tremendous

P. H. Kirwan, the owner Of con-
siderable of Renville county dirt,
came up from St. Paul last week,
and is figuring with the G. & M.
officials with the view of having a
townsite located on his land in
Henryville. Mr.. Kirwan stated
Sunday that a north and south road
was badly needed, and opposition to
such proposition could only come
by reason of it injuring the interests
of some town where the road does
not propose to strike.
The committee appointed by Pres
ident Baldwin to assist the Gulf &
Manitoba officials in framing a prop
ositlon to the voters of the towns
interested in having the railroad
built have held two or three meet
ings with the officials and among
themselves, and up to the hour OF
going to press there seems to be an
indication that negotiations will
fail. The original suggestion by
President Carpenter that half the
bonds, if voted, be turned over
when the line connects with the
Milwaukee on the north, and the
other half when it connects with
some point on the Great Northern,
still further north, and that he would
take his chances on getting $4,000
from the county on combination
bridge proposition, leaving $27, 800
to be voted in bonds.
Mr.. Campbell changed the course
of this suggestion in making his
proposition, and wants the bonds,
|if voted, delivered as follows:
$40, 900 when the road is completed
between here and Beaver Falls, and
cars running on the same, and

II the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad

due here at 4 o'clock was badly wrecked
at identically the same spot where the

hundred yards above the Terminal
Junction was pulling out on the main
line Just as the through passenger
train pulled around the curve. result
ing In collision which might have
proved more disastrous than II did.
The trains side-wiped each other,
knocking the cylinders and driving
rods Of each engine, together with q
part Of each cab. A large hole was
knocked In the mail car and smoker,
and the trucks Of the former coach
were thrown on the track.
Fortunately no person was injured,
but all were badly scared. The wreck
crew was Immediately put to work re-
placing the trucks Of the car, which
required four hours.

The time is close at hand when the
Pennsylvania will assume absolute con-
troll OF the Cleveland, Akron s. Column
bus. In fact, says the Cleveland Lea
der, It has been taking charge of differ
emit departments from time to time until
II has practically the general direction
OF all the movements. There will be,
however. an issue of circulars about the
first Of September that will tell Of the
disposition to be made OF the road, and
OF the general offices that are now loca-
ted in Cleveland.
The prospects are that there will be
important changes In the management
OF the road. In the first place, It Is eX-
pected that all OF the general offices
will be moved to Pittsburgh. There
will be left at Cleveland only the offices
OF the assistant general passenger
agent. Mr.. c. L. Rlmbnll. and Of the
assistant general freight agent, the In
cumbent for which has not been APP
pointed. There is a story that Mr..
Hodgden, Mt present the general freight
agent OF the Cleveland, Akron & COL

eral freight agent OF the line, with
headquarters in Cleveland. The gener-
nj freight agency will be with the gem
ernl freight agency Of the Pennsylva-
MIA lines west Of Pittsburgh. This will
take away from Cleveland the office OF
the general superintendent, which has
practically been abandoned already,
and with II that Of the auditor. whose
duties will fall to the auditor OF the
