THE TRIAL IN DETAIL.
Labori Does Not Appear-Nerdict
Expected About September 9TH.

RENNES. August A.-The third week
OF the Dreyfus trial began without Incl

Labor would reappear to-day proved un-
true.
1t is said the court will get through
with the ninety-odd witnesses by the

All OF the witnesses to-day were hostile

old statements, the audience followed

interest. a reference by NJ. Gribelin 10

Filipino Rebels at San Fernando Make -
Demonstration.
MANILA, July 3.-7:55 p. m.-TLe
rebels have made demonstration at
San Fernando. They took advantage Of
the darkness and rain to make sally
against the north line, seemingly only
for the purpose of annoying the Ameri-
cans, as they failed to push their attack.
The American loss was a private Of the
Seventeenth regiment killed and four
men wounded.
The firing began at 10 and the rebels
expended quantities of ammunition,
All the troops hastened to the trenches
in expectation of general attack. The
Seventeenth regiment, the Twelfth
regiment and the Iowaregiment partici-
pated in the engagement, but did not
advance beyond the outposts. After an
hour the Filipinos fred rockets, appar-
emily as signal to cease firing, but
there were scattering shots all night
long, which kept the Americans under
arms.
The enemy's loss was not discovera-
l :, but was probably small.
The Americans were guided in their
81 ooting only by the flashes of the leb-
IS rifles.

r MINNEAPOTAS. July 5.-Pliny w. Nc
Allister, who gave up politics to foster
an anti-treat society and who formed
an organization along these lines in this
city in 1897. is still interested in the
undertaking and in short time will
begin crusade which he hopes will re-
suit in the organization of anti-tre;t So
c;eties in nearly every important town
of the state.
1--WE are not temperance workers in
the ordinary sence Of the word said
Mr.. McAllister to a reporter. 1--WE
don't object to man taking Il drink if
he thinks he really needs it, but We do
object to the%systeln of treating which
has become such an evil in this country.
It is obvious that we are not lookin,
for the temperance people to join our
societies. They don't drink anyway
and there is therefore no danger of
them treating anyone or accepting of
the hospitality OF anyone. The people
we want to reach are the good fellows;
those who don't care very much about
glass of liquor or a glass of beer, but
will take one for the sake of sociability.
Dangers Of Treating.
There are hundreds of men i'm this
city whom know personally woull
not take a drink once in week if they
were not asked into saloon by a
friend. Once in there they feel that
they should rec;procate and the result
is that they have at least two drinks
before they leave. And then take the
,workingmen. for instance. those who
who work in large manufacturing in
stitutions and who are paid in checks.
In great many cases these checks are
cashed in saloons. Two or three men,
or perhaps half a dozen or more, will
enter a saloon and each man when he
gets his his check cashed will buy u
drink for his associates. Every man
has as many drinks as there are men
in the party and sometimes they will
get just enough in them to start them
on drunk. Now, if treating was
abolished it is more than likely that
these men would walk into a saloon,
buy one drink, get their money and de-
part. They would have practically a
full weeks pay when they get home
and would be sober.
