intoxicated individual in front of a
Washington avenue saloon, a few even

army a lesson in patriotism as exempli-
fed as the singing of national airs.
When the collection is taken, it is sell

him. Notwithstanding his condition..
To begin with he had the lads and
lassles" sing several of the 'songs o

onto gospel hymns, and after he had got
his moneys worth in that respect, he
asked, as a grand finale, that America"

That was where he chad 'em going.'
A doubtful look settled down over the
face Of the leader, but he determined to
make the attempt. He started out with:
"My country it's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee l sing
He got a feeble response, and then his
memory failed him. No one else knew
enough of the song to prompt him, and
, he had to stop.

haven't lived up to your contract. Give
me back my money" demanded the inn

Handwriting Experts Testimony as to the
Bordereau.

Rennes, Aug. 2S.-Mercier was
present at the opening of the fourth
week of the Dreyfus trial, thus mega
tiving the report that he had fled.
Boisdeffre has not been present for
several sessions. Rumors are that he
is preparing to desert the general staff
as sinking ship. Paray-Jatal,
draughtsman, concluded his testimo-
ny in refutation of Bertillion's argu-
ment to prove Dreyfus wrote the bor-
dereau, followed by Bernard, who ar
gued along the same lines in favor of
Dreyfus. Teyssonieries followed. as
serting his belief that Dreyfus wrote
the bordereau.
Charaway, expert in ancient
manuscripts, testified that specimens
of Esterhazy's handwriting sub
mitted to him since the eXamina-
tion had convinced him that Ester
hazy, not Dreyfus, wrote the bord-
ereau. His conscience was relieved
to be able to exculpate Dreyfus from
the charge formerly made by the wit
ness.

London. Aug. 2s.-Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies,
made an important speech at Highbury
Saturday evening on the subject of the
Transvaal situation. Chamberlain said:
Il wish l could say that the differences
between the government and the
oligarchy at Pretoria had been settled.
We have made, perhaps, little pro-
gress, but / cannot say that the crisis
is past. President Kruger procrastinates
and replies in dribbles, each reply be-
ing like water from a squeezed sponge.
He accompanies his offer with condi-
tions which he knows are impossible,
or else he declines to allow us to make
n satisfactory investigation as TO the
nature of the reforms he pretends to
concede.
II do not think it will be denied by
any one that we have been very mod
crate and conciliatory in all that we
have said. and that we have exhibited
our relations we are paramount and
they n subordinate state. We
cannot ask less and cannot take less.

; There is little fresh news from South
Africa. The Pretoria correspondent of
The Daily Chronicle declares that
President Kruger's concessions are so
far-reaching that it is doubtful whether
the burghers will ratify them. He
thinks that they will demand Kruger's
resignation and the appointment of a
younger man. All this mornings pa
