His wnistcont.

Rennes, August 1.-THE red and white
$40 o'clock this morning when Captain
Dreyfus crossed the avenue de la Care
and entered the building for the second
public session OF his trial by court mar
tial The same stringent police precan-
tions were taken, but barely twenty per-
sons had gathered to witness his crossing.
Colonel Jouaust, president OF the court
martial, and the other judges arrived
shortly after o'clock, They were fol-
lowed by Generals Billot and Mercier in
uniform, The latter drove in an open car
rage and the small crowd which had
gathered by this time greeted him with
cries of "Vive Armee!" and "Vive Mer-
cier," On alightng at the door OF the
Lycee, General Mercier looked very anx-
ious, but Immediately assumed smiling
demeanor He spoke few words to the
officers at the gate and laughed, but MS
laugh sounded false and his face, as he
ascended the half dozen steps and disap-
preston of anxiety.
NJ Cisimir- Perrer arrived on foot short
ly afterward. The crowd saluted him,
Then came Colonel Picauart, who was
greeted with shouts of viva Picauart!
which he smilingly acknowledged
The session opened at $50 with pre-
cisely the same formalities as on Monday.

quick, jerky step. His features were pale
and rigid. He took seat upon the plat
form and the reading to the court of DR..
Ransom's report relative to the finding of
document in the lining of Dreyfus
waistcoat was then begun.
The opening of the proceedings was at

waistcoat by penitentiary officer he adj
mitted keeping souvenir copy of the
bordereau. He owned to this calmly and
without any trembling of the voice. Then
he listened calmly to the reading of DR.

prosecutor, who occupied about ten min.

tache and was smartly dressed. He testi-
fled regarding the translation of the Paniz'
zardi dispatch.

BULL MOVEMENT IN STOCKS.
Only n Fair Amount of Success Has
Been Attained.

New York. August 11.-There have been
vigorous professional efforts during the
week to turn the prices of stocks upward
The argument has been that conditions
in the money market were working them
selves out satisfactorily and so as to give
assurance against stringency In the fall.
The bull movement has met With some
success but the strength 81 the market
mo yement has been very doubtful. There
have been some very notable movements
OF individual railway stocks due to special
causes. Money has come into the New
York market from outside sources, Ut
tracted by the higher rate ruling here, but
the additional funds offering have been
mostly put into call loans and the rates
foi time money have been held very firm.
The iessened anxiety over the money out
look has been prime factor In the

The article concludes: AS for Mexico.
ipasmuch as she is not in position, owing
TO her remoteness, to enter into alliance
with the more important nations OF South
America, she ought at Least to adopt
a policy Of rapprochement towards all her
neighbors to the south, and In the hrst
place with Guatemala. which. rather than
a friend. has always been hitherto our
enemy owing to the support which Meg
leo has constantly given to Salvador IN IT,

impolitic. seeing that Mexico has natural
enemy in the ambitious Republic Of the
North, that II should encourage the enmity
OF its neighbor to the south.
