De auJr1DuJe0 to some one INSIDE the
general staff The second was the
declaration by M. Palelogue that the
secret dossier contained a document
which showed that Colonel Schwartz
koppen admitted his relations with
Esterhazy and that Schwartzkoppen, in
the opinion of Palelogue, sent to Ester
hazy the identical petit bleu for which
Colonel Picquart was detained 10
months ON charge of forgery. The
third was General Billot's broad insinu-
alton that Esterhazy and Captain Drey-
fus were accomplices, which led to an
impassioned protest on the part of the
accused.
The great event of the sitting was the
battle royal between Labori and Jouaust
over certain questions which the advo-
cate wished to put to General Billot.
NJ. Labori lost control Of himself under
the influence of his deep feeling of in
dignation and his belief that Colonel
Jouaust was deliberately gagging him
in the interest of the military clique.
His voice, which at first resounded
through the court room, became choked
with emotion. The spectators held
their breath as he retorted defiantly to
Colonel Jouaust's refusal to put the
questions, his words drowning Jouaust's 8
voice in an irresistible torrent, whose
force was heightened by his passionate

KAISER HOLDS THEKEY
Fate of Captain Dreyfus Rests
With Emperor William.
HUMBERT WILL FOLLOW HIS LEAD

II Schwartzl<oppen Is Allowed to Give
Testimony Acquittal Is Predicted,
Otherwise Conviction Is Certain-La-
bori and Jouaust Clash.
RENNEs, Sept. THE salvation Of
Captain Dreyfrs hangs on word from
Emperor William. It is the general
opinion here if the kaiser consents to
allow Colonel Schwartzkoppen, the
German military attache in Paris in
1894, to testify before the court mar
tial or send deposition, OF what is
considered still more probable, to allow
his deposition to be accompanied by the
actual documents mentioned in the
bordereau, then Dreyfus is saved.
If the emperor, however, decides that
1t is not in the interests Of Germany for
Colonel Schwartzkoppen to intervene
then Dreyfus' case is hopeless and his
condemnation certain. The eyes OF
France are looking across the frontier
to Stuttgart, where the kaiser is stay
ing. He is in the position Of the spec
tators in gladiatorial combat in the
coliseum in ancient Rome, with Drey-
fus lying at the foot of his antagonist
! and Watching whether the emperor
points his thumb up or down. He has
not yet given q sign either way and
Frenchmen are waiting with breathless
interest the first Indication of his will.
To all interests and purposes Emperor
William stands today the arbiter Of the
| internal peace Of France, for every one
anticipates that King Humbert will
follow his lead. This is probably the
explanation of the delay.

marked by three important episodes.

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Early this morning
the colonial Office began to receive the
reply Of the Transvaal government di-
rect. Mr.. Chamberlain on being re.
quested to make statement, declined
to do SO until after the council tomorrow.
The colonial Office officials were busy
until after 8 o'clock this morning. Dis

Salisbury for the past few days. There
is rumor that in the event of war, Sir
Evelyn Wood, adjutant general to the

convoke parliament Immediately, if nee
essary, to vote the needed supplies, add
ing that "a further loss Of time may be

of the Transvaal government to Mr..
