discussed publicly.
M Labor then declared in loud
voice that he would reserve to himself
the right to take the necessary meas
ures to obtain the desired information.
The next point was made by Dreyfus,
in his reply to Major Rollin. The lat.
ter had remarked that all the prisoners
papers were seized when his rooms were
searched in 1894, and Colonel Jouaust
said that certain papers from his text
book, the school of war, were found
missing. To this the prisoner retorted:
''Not in 1894, my colonel"
Interpretation Was obvious.
This caused some sensation, as the
obvious Interpretation was that the
pages were torn out at the war Office
and that then the fact was used against
him that he had communicated the
missing pages to foreign agents.
NJ. Ferret. q former secretary of the
war Office next testified to seeing Drey.
fus prying into other officers work dur
ing their ahsenca, and the prisoner re.
piled excitedly that Ferret's statements
were cohcoctions by Former MINISTER
of war, which caused sensation. Then,
in cooler manner, the prisoner made
a statement explaining the difficulties
in the way Of civilian, such as Ferret,
entering the offices Of the general staff.
General Gonse thereupon presented two
letters to the effect that the writers,
both of whom were civilians, obtained
easy admittance to the offices.
Anybody Could Get In.
Dreyfus retorted that the regulations
were very strict in this respect and that
therefore some persons were guilty of
gross breach of discipline, and NJ. De-
mango scored by adding that if entry
in these offices was easy, anybody could
procure the information Dreyfus was
alleged to have obtained so surrepti-
tiously. The next witness, Lieutenant
Colonel Berth, who was the head of
Dreyfus' Office in 1894, showed himself
to be the most virulent enemy of the
prisoner. He had evidently learned his
testimony by heart, and detained it in
2 striaent, aggressive tsne, which
grated upon the ears of the audience.

Rear Admiral Discusses the Tension Over

The Herald from Washington says:
In report received at the navy de-
partment from Rear Admiral Howison,
that officer describes the tension exist
ing between the Transvaal and Great
Britain. He indicates that war may be
precipitated by the hot-headedness of
the Beers. It would not be surprising
in the event of war If the British gov
eminent requested the United States to
take care of its interests in the Trans
vaal, and a ship from the South At
lantic station will undoubtedly be sent
to Delagoa bay to safeguard American
interests.
According to Rear Admiral Howison,
there can be only one result of war
between Great Britain and the South
African Republic-the absorption of
the latter country. The Beers are de-
tsrmined, however, TO fghtfor their in
dependence.

his holiness dates back even before the
ascension of Leo XIII to the papal

even hear the pontiff's breathing. At
