handwriting of the bordereau with that
of Esterhazy. Just at the time of the
Henry forgery, however, broker
named De Castro had dealings with
Esterhazy, and a year after looking at q
fac smile of the bordereau exposed to-
public view. announced that the writing
was that of his stock client Esterhazy.
The next month, November, 1897, Es-
terhazy was openly accused, and the
Minister of War ordered that he be
court-martialed, directing General de
/ Pellieux to make the necessary pre-
liminary examination.
That officer without comparing the
writings or making any searching in
vestigation reported back that there
was no foundation for the charge
against Esterhazy, holding that the
case regarding the bordereau was res
adjudicata," and not therefore to be In
ouired into. Esterhazy, however, in
sisted upon a court-martial, and ne
was acquitted, he admitting that the
writings in the bordereau was his, but
that it was tracing made over his
writing.
A certain discriminating postal caro-
had brought the crime home to Ester
| hazy, who declared that it was the
work of Colonel Picquart. Later, how
ever, Zola having put forth his famous
accusation, Esterhazy fled from the
country, and in exile confessed repeat
edly that he wrote the bordereau, but
that he did so by order of his superior
officers, while Colonel Schwarzkoppen,
the military attache of the German
Embassy, revealed that he wrote the
postal card which EsterhaZy charged
to Piccuart.
A year last January Zola made his
charge ia his famous letter arraigning
the court that convicted Dreyfus as
infamous and perjured, for which aecu-
sation Zola was brought to trial and
punished, compelling him to leave the
country, though his property suffered
to meet his fine. He likewise accused
/
of knowingly acquitting a guilty per-
son. Shortly after this Colonel Henry
confessed that he forged evidence
against Dreyfus, and then proceeded to
commit suicide, and a little later nus
private Secretary also killed himself.
These tragedies We're, however, prior
to the Imprisonment Of Picquart. This
brings the story down to the review
by the Court Of Cessation in this year,
which refused to consider the dossier,
the alleged bundle of documents con-
| tanning evidences of guilt, on the
ground that such testimony was value
LESS. Then followed the order for re
vison, and we reach the present trial.
In the meantime the Minister of War
has visited punishment upon the chief
actors in the prosecution of Dreyfus,
/ by removing them from their posts to
| lower positions, and he has likewise
| placed the trial court at point sup
posed to be without the atmosphere Of
antagonism and partisanship.

THE COMING VEHICLE.


Los Angeles Times: That the auto
mobile is the vehicle of the future be-
comes more and more evident. 1t may
be some time before we reach the stage
talked of by some enthusiasts when
the horse will be a curiosity-and tar
off be the day; but there is no doubt
that within a comparatively few years
the horseless carriage will be as COM
mon on our city streets and country
roads as it is now rare. Whether that
time shall be few years sooner or
later depends largely upon the price
at which these vehicles can be pur-
chased The present cost of an auto
mobile carriage which is said to aver
age about 81 200 is SO high as to make
it a luxury that can only be enjoyed
by few The average man will figure
on that interest at the rate of per
cent on this amount repays cost OF
keeping a horse. There is, however, no
doubt that with the increasing demand
for these vehicles and greater facilities
for manufacturing them, the price will
be largely reduced. 1t will be the story
of the bicycle over again, and we
should not be surprised to see improved
horseless carriages selling, at one-third
the present price within a couple of
years.

Fresno Republican: From the

Professor Atwater has done is to meas

intention Of General Young to prevent
AguInaldo reaching 1sayonbong seems
evident, but this seems scarcely prob

made in the transmission of the dis
patch. Bayonbong is evidently meant
instead of Bayombong The town CIV

HIS TEMPORARY ADVANTAGE.
The Insurgents Have Gained a STRAIT
egic Position in the Northern End

igOs Suspected Of TreachsFy,

NEW YORK, Nov. PA dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says; The
oplhiOn.of many military men ana of
resident foreigners Is that Aguinaldo
has probably escaped by changing the
seat OF war into tho northern part Of
the island. They think he has taken q
considerable army with him. This, IL
true. win necessltate a new series of
operations on our part and Aguinaldo
has gpined temporary strategic adj
vantage. Those holding this view point
out the fact that the insurgents never
intended to hold the alleged capital at
Tarlac as permanent capital, as 1t is
only slightly fortified. They also claim
that the rallroad being left intact while
much rolling stock was destroyed, In
dicates that rapid retreat was made
several weeks back
This retreat must have been accom-
pllshed at the time Lawton began his
San Isldro movement. Therefore the
insurgents have had time to move out
their principal supplies. It is a fact
that our circle OF troops has been clos
ed up so far wIthou. material resist
ance except in the region of escape to
the north, near Wheaton's co1lmn: The
captured supplies too. have proved in
significant, compared with those that
would be required Agulnaldo's sup
posed army in this valley was estima-
ted at from 10000 to 10000 Their
known large quantities of artillery are
still uncounted for.
Generals Differ in Views.
The opinions OF General Otis and
General schwan differ somewhat from
this view. They say to-day that they
do not know whether or not AguInaldo
with his army has escaped into the
tobacco valley to the north. II 80 they
doubt whether he has escaped with any
considerable force. They believe that
Aguinaldo himself has gone, They also
believe that a considerable number Of
insurgent force is scattered In small
bands within our lines as amigos.
General cts says that the railroad
repairs win be rushed. New rails will
be laid and the bridges raised, The
railroad will be operated throughout in
short time. The opinion here is that
we have gained tremendous advaht
age over the insurgents. It is impos-
aible to say how large force Aguinal-
do has been able to hold together, or
whether after the loss Of the railroad
people in the north viii still support
him.
This whole movement has shown the
advantage of cavalry FOR expeditions
operations in the Philippines. The fall
campaign has been remarkably vigor-
Gus,
ii is believed here that Aguinaldo's
retreat to the north IN no way affects
the confronting insurgent force south
Of Manila.

Justice Goodrich, writing the opinion

AS to the question of the excellence Of

does not find that there is any differ
