THE DREYFUS TRIAL BEGUN.
VIII Devote Two Days Behind
Closed Doors to Consideration
of the secret Dossicr.

Rennes, Aug. THE town is ex-
tremely animated, but everywhere per-
feet tranquility prevails. Public inter
est is concentrated upon the arrival
from Paris of various Personages like
ly to figure in the trial of Capt. Drey-
fus. Among these are Generals De
Boisdeffre, Cons and Roget, all IN
mutt. NJ. Godfrey Cavaignac. former
minister of war, and NJ. Casimir-Perier,
former president of France.
A large crowd which had gathered
around the railway station, greeted
the generals on alighting from the
train with cries of "Vive L'Armee.' -
The revisionist spectators responded
with ''Nive la Republique," but there
was no disturbance of order.
NJ. CasimirPerier, who was much
fatigued by the long railway journey,
decided TO walk to the hotel. hoping
that he would not be recognized, b1t
his identity soon became known and a
large crowd followed him, as, attired
in light suit. he walked slowly along,
chatting with the prefect of police and
the chief of the secret police, NJ. vi
gueT, who met him at the railway sta
tion, and accompanied him to the hotel.
The crowd made no demonstration.
The authorities, however, deem it wise
to maintain the most stringent pre-
cautions for the safety of the former
president. and six gendarmes now pa
troll the front of the hotel where he
has apartments, while a number of
detectives watch the entrance hall
closely and scan all arrivals.
The trial will commence this morn
ing. After the indictment has been
read, it Is thought probable the presi-
dent of the court-martial, Col. Juast,
will order the doors closed for the con-
sideratiOn of the secret dOssier which
will be presented by Gen. Chamein.
The consideration of the dossier. it is
expected, will occupy two days, so
that the next public session will prob
ably be on Thursday, although per-
haps not until Friday. The general
impression is that the whole proceed
ings will occupy at least three weeks.

MONSTER MINSTREL SHOW
Will be Given In December for a.
Worthy Object.

Many of the well-known young men
OF the city, prominent in society
circles, held q meeting yesterday after
noon. to discuss aud formulate a plan
for giving q monster minstrel show
sometime during December. What
charity or public institution will be
the beneficiary, has not been decided
on, but it is intended to devote the
proceeds to some worthy object
There is an abundance of good ma
terial here for first class minstrel
show. and with the addition of several
young men, who have lately removed
to Ell PasO, and who have had consider
able experience in the minstrel line,
the public may we'll feel satisfied OF
seeing an aggregation of amateurs
that are not Overshadowed by some
professional companies now touring
the county as black face artists.
The idea of giving the minstrel per-
formance originated with Harry
BlOomstein, former resident of Nash
vile, but now located here in the
brokerage business. Mr.. Bloomstein
is prominent Elk, and several years
ago the Elks of Nashville gave an
management that eclipsed any other
amateur performance that had ever
before been given in that city. Hav-
ing such an able manager the per-
formance is almost sure of being an
unqualified success.
The performance will open with q
grand double first part. An effort will
be made to have as many men as pos
sible in the first part as the chorus.
Messrs. Charles Brown, Ross Thom-
as. Julius Krakauer, Ted Cooley,
Heige, w. Mari, Bushong, J. Marr,
will be the chief fun makers.
Jim Milne and Messers Kingsley,
Irwin and Hunter have been asked to
be the soloists in the first part.
With these gentleman it will be
seen that the chow will have high or
der of talent.
Harry Bloomstein will act as CONVEX
sationalist and direct the stage.
The various numbers for the Olio, or
second part are still In EN- bryo.
DR.. Stafford will do unique spe-
ciAlity, which will be q surprise to his
many friends, and the Guitar, Ban 10.
and Mandolin club will render q num-
Der of prices.
Charles Brown, chief of the army of
funmaksrs, will give one of his To-
imitable monolOgues, and the olio
will conclude with very laugha
afterpiece of very mysterious nature,
something never seen here in El Paso
before.
The performance will be continuous
and In this way the tiresome delays
that are usually found in ana teur-
performances will not be feature.

NO GREAT WARS

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-A Washington
special to the Times-Herald from
Walter Wellman says:
Emperor William is now distinctly
friendly to the United States and he is
equally friendly to England. In fact,
the three great Anglo-Saxon nations
the United States, Germany and
Great Britain-are now on the best of
terms, tactically understanding one an
other and working cordially together
whenever occasion warrants. They
constitute the best guarantee of the
worlds peace and the worlds progress
along wholesome lines. AS long as
thisstactical understanding exists there
will be no great wars. China may be
dismembered or dominated CONNER
cislly and politically under the open
door or the leasehold system, but it
will be conquest of peace. Russia
dare not make war with only France as
an ally, because Russia distrusts
France, distrusts her stability"
