berS to preserve calmness and to avoid
insulting language.
The state secretary, f. w. Reitz, said
he had called the previous day on the
British diplomatic agent, Mr.. Conyng-
ham Green. and had asked him what
reply the government could give in the
volksraad regarding the alleged nlassing
of British troops on the borders, and
whether Mr.. Green would communicate
with the British high commissioner,
Sir Alfred Miner. The reply from Mr..
Green, he continued, had been re-
ceived this morning and was in the fol-
lowing terms:
Dear Mr.. Reitz-The following is
Sir Alfred Miners reply to the tele-
gram which l sent him at your request:
II do not know to what Mr.. Reitz
refers when he aliudeS to the maSsing
If troops. This must be the British
:roops in South Africa, the position and
numbers of which are no secret. bat it
IS a matter of common knowledge that
they are here in order to protect Brit
ish interests and to make provision
against eventualities.
Violent Speeches Made.
Mr.. Coetzer and other members then
made violent speeches. declaring that
they could not understand Sir Alfred
Miners reply, since the Transvaal had
never threatened the English colonies.
1T is time exclaimed Mr. Coetzer,
''for the Transvaal also to prepare for
eventualities.'

Another concluded a warlike har-
angue in this strain: TT is time TO
send our burghers to the borders to
ask these troops what they want. The
fire is bound to start, so let them light
it and allow il to burn out quickly;
War rs better than the present state of
affairs Business is ruined and the
public treasury is drying up. Cham
berlain is trying to ruin the country.
These speeches and others attacking
Cecil Rhodes were loudly applauded by
the house and by the public. The de-
bate continued throughout the after
noon.
Mr.. Toscn. who declared that Sir AL
fred Miners reply was =tantamount to
a dasiaratioD of war, read telegram
from She field cornet of the Pietreltiof
district. stating that the people there
would rise in rebellion if President Kru-
ger went to another conference.
The chairman called 8Air. Tosen to
order Cor saying that the Jameson
raiders ought to have been hanged.
Give English Mauser Pills.
In the course of the debate Mr. Du-
toit insinuated that Mr.. Chamberlain
was intoxicated on the occasion of his
recent famous garden party speech"
at ffighbury. his Birmingham residence,
and be added that if Mr.. Chamberlain
continued to act as he had been acting,
the Transvaai would give him "Mauser
pills" which would be good purga-

frightened by the show OF sending out

Chamberlain must remember that when

STORY OF THE DAY.
Col. Jouaust's Refusal to Call Upon
Foreign Witnesses.

Rennes, Sept. when the ccErtmar-
tial resumed it's sittings this morning
it was noticed that the generals were
again in uniform, foreshadowing fur
Their field operations on their part. Ma
Jor Carriere, the government commits.
Sary, opened the proceedings with the
announcement that Eugene de Cernu-
Schi, the Austro-H Hungarian refugee.
was sick and unable to attend court
today, but held himself at the DISPOSE
ton of the court at his hotel.
After this Savignaud, the former or
Derby of Colonel Picquart, and one of
the witnesses. asked the court to GER
tify that Senator Tarieux. the former
minister of justice, had called him an
imposter and a perjurer.
NJ Tarieux rose and insisted that
Savignaud's evidence was a contradic-
ton of the evidence of Colonel Pic
quart, NJ. Scheurer-Kestner and M.
Roques, proving, he claimed, perjury
witnesses. M. Tarieux added that his
statements were in accordance with the
dictates of his soul and conscience, and
if ne was amenable to the law for
them. there was also law against per-
jurers. After the court had certified to
NJ Tarieux's charge, M. Labor rose
and said:
Il have received notice that for rea-
sons of public policy, Major Panizzardi
and Colonel Schwartzkoppen could not
come to Rennes to testify before the
courtmartial But I am also informed
from the same quarter that they would
answer the questions of commission
sent by the courtmartial 1 therefore

of Colonel du Patty de Clam. that Col

He Has Five Chances.
Captain Dreyfus thus has five chances

three or three to four will set him at
liberty, while unanimity, six to one or

Subsequently, Mr.. Wotmarens told

there is no reason to believe that he
will not fall in with their views.
Colonel Jouaust this morning took
the most important decision yet taken,
and took it entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility, although he is undoubted-
ly. only the mouthpiece of the whole
body of judges. His decision to exclude
the testimony of Colonel Schwartzkop-
pen and Major Panizzardi was most
significant, as it meant that the court
had already reached a conclusion and
that the pleadings of counsel were
merely a waste of time and might be
dispensed with if they were not a ne

Dreyfus viii Not Be Present.

A moment before they are to re-en-

their places behind the long table on
the stage the infantry guard Will pre-
sent arms and remain at present arms
while Colonel Jouaust, standing in the
center OF the platform, reads the YER
dict.
Captain Dreyfus will not be brought
back to the court room and Will not be
present at the public meeting of the
judges, but when the court room has
been cleared by the gen d'armes, which
will be done as soon as Colonel .Jouaust
concludes, the reading clerk of the
court will proceed to the room where
Dreyfus will be waiting and read to
him the verdict in the presence Of
couple of gen d'armes.
The public will thus be robbed Of the
spectacle of his emotions. which are
bound TO be most profound, whether
the decree sends him to the arms of his
family or back to the penal settlement.
The verdict may be condemnation,
an ecuivocal acquittal or a form sof
acqufttal that would be equivalent to
the Scotch verdict mot proven. The
last will be the case if the Judges
should pronounce against him BY vote
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-08
Verdict Has Been Reached.

The court has made up its mind, but
which way?
This is the view point and forms the
sole topic of discussion. Both sides
are equally confident that the court
will decide in accordance with their
views.
The Dreyfusards declare that the
judges cannot condemn Captain Drey-
fus after rejecting the decisive evidence
which Colonies acknowledgment and
Panizzardi would have given in his
favor.
The nti-Dreyfusards, on the other
hand, explain today's rulings on the
ground that the judges recognize that
the evidence of the two military at
taches would be worthless, because
their agent at any cost.
A sample of this reason was given
by an anti-Drefusard journalist who,
when praising Colonel Jouaust's deci-
sion, explained:
What weight could he attach to the
testimony of Schwartzkoppen and Pa
nizzardi? The receiver of stolen goods
must shield the thief as much as he
can
From the popular point of view, the
scene in court when Colonel Jouaust
delivers the judgment will be Invested
of its most sensational features, owing
to the absence of the central figure.
Captain Dreyfus will be taken to an
adjacent room when the judges retire
to consider their verdict.
