ALLEGED DREYFUs CONFESSION.
Captain Wants to Know why He Was So
Long Hearin. Thereof

While General Mercier was on the
stand Colonel Jouaust said to him:
Tell us. general, why. when you We're
apprised of the confession, you did
not send some one to Dreyfus TO try TO
get a substantiation and discover what
he had not told Du Patty de Clam"
General Mercier-Dreyfus had writ
ten me that he refused to discuss the
confessions with Du Patty de Clam, and
i took no further steps.
Colonel Jouaust-But since the pris-
oner seemed to have begun making
avowals of his guilt why did you not
follow the matter up?
General Mercier-I might. perhaps,
have thought of II. But il did not oc-
cur to me-
The prisoner again protested that the
inquiry ought to have been followed
up. because il would have served to
destroy the fiction of a confession to
which such Importance is now at
tached."
Dreyfus continued: Il will state
the exact terms of the So
called confession of mine. The day

ment Denying the Alleged Confession
and Asks "A Pertinent Question.
Rennes, Aug. 25-Yesterday's ses-
sion of the Dreyfus court martial was
marked by one of the most exciting
scenes of the trial. The proceedings
opened with a skirmish entirely ia
yorable TO the defense over Colonel
MaureI, president of the court martial
OF 1894, who admitted reading one of
the esecret documents to the court which
had not been seen by the defense. He
protested that only one document was
looked ct, alleging that this sufficed
to enable him to form a conviction
that could not be shaken. This protest
made matters worse, because. as NJ.
LaboTi pointed out. If he perused one il
was his boundcn duty TO peTuse all.
Colonel Jouaust upheld Colonel Maurel
in his refusal to indicate the nature OF
the document he read.
Jouaust Assists the Prosecution.
All this however was only prolim-
mary to a fierce battle that ensued be-
the latter receiving reinforcements
from General Roget, General Gonse and
General de BOisdeffre. as well as in
valuable assistance from Colonel JOu-
aust himself. NJ. Labori took General
Mercier over the whole ground of his
previous deposition. This led to sew
eral sharp passages at arms between
the advocate and Colonel Jouaust.
Whenever MERCER was cornered he de-

Bodies Ill for the Defendant.
NJ LaboTi's cross-eXaminatiOn was
successful so far as il went, but Colonel
Jouaust prevented him pressing his adj
vantage tothe utmost. In fact JOuaust's
hostile attitude toward the counsel for
the defense evoked the severest criti-
Cism on the part of the public present
and bodies i'll for DTeyfus. General
Mercier faced Labori's fire with callous
demeanor. standing on the platform,
his hands behind his back and his face
only half turned toward his questioner.
General Roget's handsome but unsym-
pathetic features expressed the bitter
est scorn. as he spun round on his heel
and with arms crossed faced Labori or
the audience or the Judges
Admitted That He Did Wrong.
The examination of Chamoin showed
Mercier in a very bad light. as il
brought ont that he had privately COM
municated to Chamoin on the first day
of the secret sessions a report on the
Panizzardi dispatch for insertion in the
secret dossier. General Chamoin ad-
mitted that he did wrong in accepting
the report, but pleaded ignorance in
judicial matters. NJ Labori brought
General Mercier to the bar in reference
to this Mercier admitted that the re-
ports emunated from Du Patty de Clam.
but claimed that he himself did not
understand it's contents. though he
thought il would be interesting and
perhaps useful to Chamoin.

Cape Town, Aug. 25.-The Delagoa
bay incident in which the Portuguese
authorities held up a large quantity
of arms and war material consigned
from Germany to the TranSvaal,
coupled with the recent transit of a
large amount of ammunition, has di-
rected the attention of the British Of
ficialS to the immense accumulation of
munitions of war in the South African
republics, especially in the Transvaal.
The outlanders being debarred from
carrying arms the supply of weapons,
as shown in Lourenzo Marquee (Dela-
goa bay) returns for three years, is
greatly in excess of the burghers' re-
quirements, and consequently there is
n growing feeling among the British
community in South Africa that no

mentS.

Tho Benefit of Good Roads.

At the suggestion Of General Roy
Stone, Director Of the Office of road
ioquiry of the Department of Agrieul-
been making exper.us usfdsss':tEFPapt EMS E4ta has has
free delivery of mails upon good roadA
Tie object was to prove that improved
highways in country districts would
enable the Postoffce Department to
operate rural free deliveries at about
half the present cost and time, thus
permitting extension or twice-a-day
service at little additional expense.
The postofice officials selected four
routes in Burlington County, n. J.,
for the test. These centre at the
towns Of Moorestown and Riverton,
and lie over good stone roads. In
most rural districts it has been found
impracticable. on account of the high
ways, to deliver more than twelve
miles from the distributing centre. It
was found shat at the test places in
New Jersey the mails could be deliv-
cred twenty-five to twenty-four miles
away in the same time usually taken
for twelve, or instead there could be
two deliveries a day FOR little moro
than the usual cost of one.-Washing-

Tests Of Road Metal.

In order to discover the source Of
she constant accumulation OF mud on
zone roads, Professor Elliott, of the
Engineering Department of Cardiff
University College, Cardiff, Wales,
recently undertook some interesting
experiments. He secured samples of
about twenty kinds of stone used in
bodybuilding, and subjected them to
tests by percussive attrition and alb
sorption. For the former test, each
sort of stone was "subjected to rapid
motion against the ribbed sides OF an
iron cylinder in manner calculated"
says Stone, ''to reproduce the action
w. ,ulting from vehicular and other
traffic" In four hours test, three
samples produced less than seven per
cent. of dust; five gave between seven
aud ten per cent; six between ten
and thirty per cent. and three between
thirty and eighty-nine per cent. In
the absorption test most Of the stones
showed but mere trace after seventy
two hours OF soaking, only two varie-
ties actually absorbing any amount of
water.

B GOOD ROADS NOTES.
HEAVY Vote For Good Roads,

Complete returns of the Minnesota
State election show that the State aid
amendment to the constitution has
been passed by the people by q vote
of 1908 to 3S,o17. The returns only
recently have been completed, owing
to the unsettled condition of the
northern aud eastern portions Of the
State. This is the first time that a
popular vote has been taken in any
State upon the good roads question,
and the result is most emphatic in
dorsement of State aid as its solution.
The Farmers National Cor rgress, which
met at Fort Worth, Texas, recently,
passed strong resolutions in favor OF
State aid and commencing the efforts
of the League Of American Wheelmen
toward its introduction. The Min
nesota 7oteis another notable iadorse-
ment of the work of this organization.
The constitutional amendment was
introduced ct the session Of the Min
nesota Legislature by A. B. Choate,
of Minneapolis, as the representative
Of the League Of American Wheelmep,
and its passage by that body was the
result of his persistent and diplomatic
work in behalf of the measure. This
left it to be submitted to popular vote
for its final passage. 4 strong educa-
tionai campaign for good roads was
carried on by the league throughout
Minnesota last summer and fall, with
the active assistance of the Bureau Of
Road Inquiry at Washington and the
press of Minnesota. 4 large edition OF
pamphlets, explaining the State aid
system of road-building and its advan-
tages to farmers, WAS distributed and
numerous a. .icles and editorials upon
the subject appeared in the papers IN
various parts of the State. The re-
sultiny vote for the amendment is al
most two to one in its favor.
The Minnesota Legislature now
will take the necessary steps to put
system of State aid into operation,
such as is in force in New Jersey aud
in yew York. Farmers especially
will appreciate this, as it will enable
them to obtain durable hjg hways
without being obliged to bear the en-
tire expense, as they do at present. In
New Jersey and New York the cost Of
rt sds built by State aid is divided be-
tween the State, the counties and the
local taxpayers in the towns. Many
towns ayailing themselves Of the New
York law are securing funds for road
buildiugpurposes from outside sources,
equal to iour or five times that which
they raise themselves. Country tax
payers have learned that State aid to
roads provides a means by which the
large city taxpayers and corporations
owning valuable franchises from the
State are made to share in the expense
and that it remains optional with the
farming districts to avail themselves
of this assistance Or not, as they may
choose. This explains the popularity
of State aid in Minnesota and the
| large vote in its favor.
