OPINIONS DIFFER.
Emily Crawford on Probable Result
of Dreyfus Trial.

Copyrighted by the Associated Press
RENNES, Aug. 19.-Opinions differ as
to what the judgment of the Dreyfus tri-
bunal will be. Townspeople think the de-
ciston will be against the accused. On the
other hand, at the Modre, which is the
great conversational news center now
the opinion prevails that Dreyfus will
have the decision in his favor
The tribunal certainly shares the feel
ings Of military witnesses, but there are
signs Of coming around. I noticed a
member Of the court-martiaI watching
Dreyfus today, with an expression of
compassionate interest. Then, again,
Col. Jouaust, the president, did not re-
Duke him for apostrophizing Capt.
Guignet, who led the procession of mill
tary witnesses today, nor order him, as
he was wont to do. not to speak until he
was ordered to. Maitre Demange is more
hopeful, although acknowledging the per-
verse use the Nationalist make Of the
Schneider and Panzzardi letters to ap-
peal to patriotic sentiment. That party
now demands the publication of the whole
of the secret dossier, so as to heap dis
grace on the military attaches and the
illustrious German prince involved.
prince who lived long in Paris. I should
not be surprised al q tie. This would en-
able the prisoner to leave the court a free
man, but would show that half the judges
believed him guilty.
The Schneider letter or telegram is re-
scented by all but the Dreyfusites as an
attempt to cast odium on the French
army. 1t ought to benefit the prisoner,
but does not. Military men say it will
set the face of the court-martfal harder
against him.
The majority seems to adopt Capt.
Cuignet's opinion. 1t is thought, though
not expressed, thus: The military at
taches have behaved abominably in the
Dreyfus affair; that the French govern
ment is in possession of numerous speci-
mems Of Schneider's handwriting; that the
document on which Gen. MERCER relied
will be a severe test, and that 1t has
been accepted by every minister of war
since 1894 and been compared with letters
written to six of them by Col Schneider.
The government seems more neutral
since the foreign minister, M Delcasse,
returned from his visit to Count Mu-
ravieff. Emily Crawford.

not the report of Col. Picquart, for the
general service OF the secret war funds.
These funds were expended as Col Pic
quart stated, 5000 francs by myself and
as Gen. Roget said, $4,000 francs in 1896
and 10000 francs in 1897 by Gen Come
The remainder was placed at the dis
posal of my successor, NJ. Defreycinet
who had this sum liquidated by Presi-
dent Lobet. l will not say another
word, but I must deal with the iperfidious
insinuatiOn made to the court of cassa-
ton, which IS calculated to deal a blow
to the delicacy, fidelity and honor of the
minister Of war;
This statement caused applause in the
rear Of the court, but Col. Jou&ust cut
The demonstration short by announcing
the adjournment of the court until Mon
day.
The most interesting portion of the pro-
ceedings was III the last half hour, when
Come, Picquart, Billot and Dreyfus were
on their feet in a series of confrontations,
a move, however, which had dramatic ele-
ments, and which produced much emo
ton ia court and occasloned from Drey-
fus unexpected outbursts of pent-up feel
ing. The prisoner spoke several times to-
day with an Indignation which rang sin
cere. But he never struck those chords
which thrilled his hearers last Monday
and Saturday.
The concentrations of Dreyfus and Col.
Picquart with Gen. Come and Gen. BIZ
lot were on side Issues, which did not
raise questions of fundamental import
ance and cannot be said to have much
effect either way, so far as testimony it
self IS concerned. But from point of view
Of the prosecution it is always a clever
game to bring the generals on the stage,
in the role of indignant defenders Of the
honor of the army for, as superior Off
GERS, their appearance is bound to ex-
ercise certain impression over the
judges, who are of the junior rank.

President Loubet This course is neces-
sary for the welfare of Franco and the
tribunal. In fact, it was expected that
the court Of cessation would order a re-
vision with directions for an acquittaI.
Another trial by court-martial was hard
ly expected. The motive FOR the crime
OF his conviction, aside from the prejudice
against him as a Jew, was the fact that
Col Henry and other accusers were
aroused by the attentions of Dreyfus in
another direction. They resolved tA prove
him traitor, and resorted to desperate
means to sustain themselves, as the for
gerry of the bOrdereau has shown. OF
his innocence there is no doubt, but that
strange quality called the honor of the
army must be sustained.

OPINION OF A JURTsT,
Thomas Terrell Believes Dreyfus
Will BE Acquitted.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Thomas Terrell, @.
C.. one of the leading jurists in England,
who has attended some OF the sessions Of
the Dreyfus court-martial, says:
There is an air of unhealthy about the
whole proceedings. Dreyfus alone seems
in earnest. No fierce conflicts Of intel
lect occur as would be the case in Eng
land, and, In my opinion. Col Jouaust
has already decided the case In favor of
an acquittal. This appears to be the case
from his evident anxiety TO preserve an
air of complete impartfality and. though
on occasions he is unable to conceal his
hostility to the defense, his intention
plainly is to acQuit
The cOurt-martial is as fair as u spe-
cial jury, sitting without legal assistance,
can be. The opinions it VIII form must
be feeble, and its judgment cannot have
the least weight to the legal mind. Most
prejudice is COMPOUNDED with patriotism
on both sides, but instructions from the
superior officials of state viii outweigh
considerations of legal evidence"

positive fact that negotiations to that
end are now under way.
Some of the Dutch newspapers, in point
ing out the need of such a treaty, express
fears of the United States Selling the

might be better, there is no valid reason

the two countries will doubtless do much
to improve those relations.
