NO NEEDLESS SEVERITY
Was Shown the Prisoner on
DEVILS Island, According
to Colonial Minister
LebOn.

16EN MES, aug. 1Os-A1 shO OPohiuS .
of the Dreyfus court martial this morn
ing, M. Demange, counsel for Dreyfus,
asked for an adjournment OF the ses-
sions until Monday on account OF the
condition of his colleague, M. Labori.
M. Carriere, the Judge advocate op-
posed the request aud the court unani-
mously refused to grant it.
Senator Guerin was the first witness
called. His testimony was the same
as previously given before the court OF
cessation.
The next witness was M. Lebon, who
was minister of the colonies for the
greater part of the time that Dreyfns
was on the isle Du Diablo and has been
accused of being responsible for the
regime of torture to which the prisoner
was subjected.
M. Lebon testified that there was no
needless severity shown to Dreyfus.
He was obliged, he said, to resort to
extraordinary measures because of the
danger of the prisoner being rescued.
He cited as an example the occasion
on which an American bark lowered
about Devils island without being able
to give an explanation of why it was
there, and asserted that he had proof
that Dreyfus had carried on an '1rreg-
ular'' correspondence with his rela-
tives and friends.
He said he had copies of the prison
er's letters, taken and preserved, but
never seized any of the originals.
SPECTATORS IN TEARS.
During this testimony Dreyfus gazed
intently, but calmly, at the man who is
chiefly responsible for the cruelties he
has undergone.
Lebon's testimony ended in string
of excuses and lame apologies to Drey-
fus.
When he had concluded the prisoner
was asked if he wished to question the
witness.
mo-" replied Dreyfus, 81 have
nothing to say to the man who for five
years helped to make my sufferings
agonizing and barbarous. 1 am not
here to complain but to defend my
honor"
The recorder then read from the de-
tailed government reports Of the pris-
oner while on DEVILS Island. He
quoted a heart rending story which
moved the courtroom to tears.
The court adjourned until tomor
row.
Dreyfus is in worse condition today
than at any time since the trial began.
He is discouraged at the loss OF the de-
fense's right arm, Labori, and he
showed impatience and lack of nerve
that contrasted strongly with his man
ner on Sunday.
UNFAVORABLE SIGN.
RENNES, Aug. 16.-Labori has
slight fever this afternoon from the re-
suit of the operation made by the ply
sicians, in connection with the X-ray
apparatus.
The photograph plates are now being
developed and the probing for the ball
will probably be done tomorrow.
The courts refusal to adjourn until
Labori should be able to resume his
part in the case is regarded by Drey-
fusites as an unfavorsble sign.
They are, as consequence. disheart-
ened. Unfavorable comment is also
heard of the fact that M. Demange did

Population Of Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.,, May 11.-Chicago's actual
population 1t the present time is approx-
mately 2,025,000. The canvassing work
for the new city directory shows that the
population this year will be approximate
ly 1875, 600. The directory Ggul es, how
ever, do not take into considera ton a con-
siderable portion Of the population which
a national census would. Using the ba-
sis of calculation CT Superintendent Fitz-
gerald of the school census of last year,
the matnematicians have decided that
Chicago has more than safely passed
the 2,000.G0 mark and that the census of
next year-that taken by the general gov
ernment-woud prove it. Superintendent
Fitzgerald whose school census of last
year has the reputation of having been
an unusually careful one. believes the ac-

GOOD FEELING
TOWARD FRANCE

Washington, May 1.-THE good feeling
in this country toward France is shown
in three distinct projects for erecting sta
tues in France during the Paris EXPOSE
tion The latest Of these is to erect sta
tue of Rochambeau in the French village
of his birth. The plan was originated in
Philadelphia, where $4,000 will be contri-
buted, another $4,000 will be raised in the
country at large. Secretary Hay views
the project with much favor. Another
statue project is inxeharge of prominent
women, representing the women of Amer
lea, who propose to erect an equestrian
statue of Washington in one Of the pub
lie observations of Paris. Mrs. Justice
Field is at the head Of the committee and
$4,000 is in her hand. The French am
bassador has notified the Paris authori-
ties and has suggested to the prefect Of
the Seine and the president of the muni-
cipality that a suitable public reserva-
ticn be set aside for the scheme. A sta
tue of Lafayette also is to be erected at
Paris through the efforts of United
States Commissioner Peck. The state de-
partment has been advised of the ap-
pointment of Captain Vignal as French
military attache here.
