Jouaust-Did you not say: The
minister knows handed Owe the docu
ments''
Dreyfus-No: if I spoke Of the min
lister, who knew l was innocent, I re-
ferred to the conversation I previously
had with Du Patty de Clam"
Earlier in the examination Jouaust
asked: Had you relations with
a lady living in Rue Besat?"
Dreyfus replied: Il had no intimate
relations with her."
Jouaust-I do not mean from a moral
point of view, but from military point
of view This woman was suspected Of
spying. Why did you visit her?
Dreyfus-I only learned that at my
trial in "a Major Gondrion intro
duced me to her and as Gondrion be-
longed to the board of inquiry he ought
to have known if she were suspected.
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
in the afternoon and found him much
unnerved 10y the trial and feeling hurt
at the demeanor displayed by Col. Jou-
aust Many persons are under the
impression that the harshness of the
presiding judge was assumed to disarm
the enemies Of Dreyfus, who are only
too anxious to interpret every courtesy
as partialit-.
A meeting of the correspondents OF
| foreign newspapers was held last even
ing to protest against the manner in
which they have been treated in the
distribution of tickets to the trial
The English and American press took
a leading part in the proceedings
which ended in decision to make the
strongest representations in proper
quarters for an amelioration of exist
ing conditions. Several prominen
English and American journals were
virtually excluded from Mondays ses
sion in favor of insignificant continen

Paris, August S.-All me newspapers
Monday published frequent special edi
tions which were bought by waiting
crowds anxious for every detail of thu
Dreyfus court-martial. No paper!
declared Dreyfus embarrassed, while
the Journal De Bates said: 'Neithe
his face nor his words evoked sympa
thy. His voice sounds false and hi!
protestations of innocence are not con
vincing." The Tempes, on the othe
hand, said: HE replied in a tone o
assurance and with a clearness AM
conciseness which carried conviction.

MORE GOLD CERTIFICATES

Washington, August 6.-The treas
ury department yesterday made re-
QUESTION upon the bureau of engraving
and printing for the printing of $40
100000 gold certificates in denomina-
lions of $40 each. The treasurer now
holds large unissued supply of GER
titlcates of the larger denominations.
1t is the evident intention of the treas
ury department to be in position to
issue gold certificates freely for gold
coin, should the fall movement of cur
rency lead to a demand at the treasury
for gold certificates in exchange for
gold coin. 1t is to be noted That while
gold can be freely had in fenomina-
lions of fives and tens, the law restricts
the issue of certificates to denomina
lions of $40 or multiples thereof. It
is a debatable question whether gold
certificates will adequately meet the
demand for money of small denomina-
tions.

ering were Chairman Knapp, of the in

present evils advocated by both was
the legalizing of pooling of railway

necessity Of giving the interstate CON-

ious at Chippewa Falls-Citizens

Eau Claire, Wis, Aug. S.-President
Appleyard Of the electric railway and a
committee OF employees held a confer
ence yesterday afternoon. The presi-
dent later said the result is expected TO
be that three-fourths Of the old en-
ployes will be back on their cars today
at 10 cents an hour, with the time OF

Mayor Douglas, in response to writ
ten notices that distractions had been
placed on the tracks and missiles
thrown, endangering the lives of the
company's employees and passengers,
again put on special police to protect
the system. The mayor, during the
trouble on Water street, told Attorney
Bundy that he had no sympathy with
the company, though he would do what
he could, but he could not put police
officers on the cars because it would
violate the anti-pass law.
Situation Takes Serious Turn.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Aug. S.-The
strike situation on the street railway
between here and Eau Claire took a
serious turn last night, but one line
continued to run. The conductors and
motormen were greeted with bowls OF
''scab." Threats to tear up the track
on the interurban line are being made
and crew of men was sent out be-
tween here and Eau Claire to guard
the property of the company. Nearly
all the citizens refuse to ride on the
cars and the latter are occupied only by
the conductor and motorman. The
people are with the strikers and think
their demand for Is cents per hour is
only reasonable.

PUNISHMENT OF CONVICTS.
New Warden at Waupun Denies
Charges of Cruelty.

Waupun, Wis, August S.-Warden
McClaughrey of the Wisconsin state
prison says in regard to complaints of
severe punishment of prisoners, that in
some cases punishment has had to be
severe to enforce discipline. He has
changed the methods of punishment
and says that the effect has been good.
He denies, however, that any cruel
punishment has been inflicted. In no
case has a convict been punished with
out careful examination of the case
giving the prisoner full opportunity for
defense. One convict who made an as
sault with knife has not been disci-
plined at all for the offense, the war
den holding him for Indictment and
trial.
