The latter replied, thanking Thomas and

Whatever has been said to the contrary,

witness recalled how information OF the

The name mentioned was that of a gentle
man. 45 years old and decorated, VINO used
to convey documents to the embassy,
which the witness described as a house
with large garden.

only a single real leakage, namely, the

sation.)

arrival Cordier explained that 1t was a
letter from an Italian lady with whom the
department was at that time in CORE
Spondence through an intermediary at the
Foreign Office
'I greatly respect Italian ladies in gen.
cral" said Colonel Cordier, but not when
Picquart not to make too much use of the
lady's offers, saying to him, there must
be no petticoatS.
Major Lauth, being permitted to speak
said Colonel COrdier's leave of absence
commenced September Is, and not Septem-
Der 90. to which Cordier replied that he
was surprised at contradiction on such an
unimportant point, but, nevertheless, his
original statement was true.
Continuing, the major commented upon
Colonel Cordier's testimony, especially the
statement that there were no anti-Semites
on the headquarters stan, remarking that
there was one exception, and this was
Cordier himself, who always was express
ing antipathy toward Jews, especially
when there was a question of introducing
Dreyfus to the department.
Yes exclaimed Cordier, quite true.
I was an anti-Semite but my opinions
never went to the length Of bringing false

science" Renewed sensa atom
Major Lauth proceeded to discuss other

as ancient. Tie eApldIicu tiiul lLc ttIlSlOll
existing in the department was between
the officers and Colonel Cordier.
When the President asked Cordier if he
desired to say anything in rebuttal of
Major Lauth's statement, Cordier replied:
Nothing at all.
When, however, the major asserted in
regard to the letter &c. c.. G." that Cor
dier had nothing to do with the Italian
affairs which Sandherr conducted, Cor
dier arose and said:
LAS deputy chief / was acquainted with
all the work done, while Major Lauth was
merely my assistant
At this iuncture Major Lauth handed in
a letter from Madame Sandherr contra
dieting Colonel Cordier's- statement rela-
tive to the presence of Sandherr at the
War Office on a certain day.
General Roget then mounted the plat
form, where his appearance caused gen.
eral stir. He said he would not reply to
Colonel Cordier's statements concerning
himself. but he added, 1.-The witness

a lengthy explanation, denouncing lie
Mercier-Picard as an imposter and swim
der apparently with the object of show
ing that Cordier's allegations that Mer-
cier-Picard was employed by the general
staff was unfounded. Roget also referred
to letter to Matthieu Dreyfus attributed
to Cordier. whereupon the latter again
arose and protested against General Ro-
gets inslnuations. He declared that when

the colonel described the efforts to pry
into the prisoners life, and said the in
formation at first received was very bad
and constituted strong proof against the
prisoner Later, however il assumed
quite a different aspect. 1t was admitted
that before his marriage Dreyfus was NOT

titled to wear wreath of orange blos-

The witness also said that while Drey-

Dreyfus, he continued, Dragged a great
deal. and probably now repented having
done so. Dreyfus inquisitiYeness, accord
ing to the witness, was probably explained
by his knowledge that he would not re-
main long on the headquarters staff and
he desired to obtain all information which
might be useful to him in after life.
The colonel then paid a tribute to the
memory of Colonel Sandherr, who exam
ned the immense mass of documents re-
lating to espionage and unearthed the
"Cette canaille de D." document which
seemed to the witness to date back to
antiquity.
In 1894 the witness regarded as INSULT

namely. the bordereau. He did not be-

that the judges were unanimous in con-
victing him changed the witness mind,
saw that the date of the bordereau re-
ceived in September had been fixed as

phatically. 81 had been reassured by the
unanmity of the judges, and l was abso-
lutey convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus
Now I am absolutely convinced of his
innocence" Great eXcitement)
Next the witness discussed the attacks
on himself. He said he was astonished at
being accused of being soured because he
was not given charge of the intelligence
department in succession to Colonel Sand
herr. 'as every one knew l wished to quit
the service simultaneously with my friend
Sandherr."
Replying to the president Cordier de-
clared that the approaches Of the Dreyfus
family to Colonel Sandherr were not at
tempts at corruption and that Dreyfus
brothers remark, Our fortune is at your
disposal was only the expression of the
famly's ardent desire to save an inno-
cent member of 1t.

ing:
Might not these attacks lead TO the dis
appearance of discipline. and what then
would be the result If we found ourselves
in difficulties with foreign country?'
In short, M de Freycinet delivered a pa
triotic speech rather than a deposition,
concluding with the words "All the world
will accept your verdict, which will open
an era of reconciliation"
Following are the more important pro-
ceedingS in detail:
The appearance of Colonel Cordier, for
merly Deputy Chief of the Intelligence
Department at the Dreyfus court-martial,
aroused great interest. Speaking in firm,
audible tones, the colonel testified that
September %. 1894, he left Paris on a
fortnights leave of absence and that
department of the War Office of the dis
covery of treason.
Continuing. Colonel Cordier said that
the day after he returned to Paris Colonel
Sandherr, greatly distressed, handed him
copy of the bordereau on foolscap
paper. Colonels Cordier and Sandherr
aanimatedly discussed the bordereau,
Sandherr considering 1t ample evidence
of treason. The bordereau was photo
graphed and an investigation instituted.
resulting in suspicion against Dreyfus
being aroused. Prior to this there was
no presumption of Dreyfus' guilt. 1t was
October that the suspicious of the pris-
oner's guilt became definite. Witness said
he believed the bordereau arrived at the

were then aware that treason had been
committed Witness thought it necessary

statements of his assistant, Major Lauth,

At this point Major Lauth. rising in the
center of the court. exclaimed

Proceeding with his testimony, Colonel
Cordter said he believed the bordereau
was handed to Colonel Sandherr by Col
onel Henry. Cordier then explained what
was 'the ordinary channel by which in
formation reached the War Office
The ordinary channel" the witness
said, was a very clever spy attached to
the intelligence department. who had the
habit of visiting great houses but who
preferred the company of servants to the
company of their masters.

DISCLAIM KNOWLEDGE
OF AN EXTRA SESSION
Currier and Smith Say Burns Will
Have a Hard Fight If One
Is Called.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.-Senators
Currier of Spadra and c. Smith OF
Bakersfield were in Los Angeles to-
day. Senator Currier when approached
on the subject of an extra session of
the Legislature disclaimed any ex-
elusive knowledge about the probabil-
ity Of one being called and said: "If
such a session is convened | shall go
into caucus upon the SenatOrship and
will abide by the action there taken.
That was my attitude last winter dur
ing the regular session, but l was out
voted by a majority OF the representa-
tives from down this way. We should
have elected Senator last winter and
not put the State to the expense of an
extra session. Senator Bulla tells me
he will not go into caucus in the event
of an extra session. He seems to know
where he stands now, which was not
the case at Sacramento the last time.
Senator Currier was Bulla sup
porter during the regular session, later
transferring his allegiance to U. ).
Grant.
Smith placed U. S. Grants name be
fore the Joint session last winter and
has been looked upon as one of the
leaders Of the anti-Burns element.
When asked what he knew regarding
an extra session he replied: 1T is my
some time about November
Does that mean the election of
Burns for SenatOr?" Not necessarily
At the close of the regular session and
after he had strained every nerve, Mr.
Burns had but thirty votes Less than
half enough to- elect. [ am not pre-
pared to believe that he has secured
during the recess two votes to where
he then had one. L am much mistaken
if there has been any such change in
public sentiment in his favor.
"If the whole Republican vote is
present at a caucus L do not think he
can control it. But if he could get a
caucus with about sixtyone votes
present he could probably get ma
jority of that number and thus bind the
whole siXty-one. 1t is reported that
sixty-one have agreed to go into cau-
Gus 1 doubt that. l have not signed
such an agreement, neither have 1 been
asked to. 1 do not know that there are
any other candidates at this time. Both
Grant and Barnes have declared them
selves out of the race. But if there is
an extra session there will be more
than one candidate in the race"

COLOGNE GAZETTE ON
THE RENNES TRIAL
Says Germany Has Done as Much as
Could Be Expected to Clear
Drauf1IS

BERLIN, Aug. 29.-The Cologne Gazette
to-day in an inspired article replying to
the foreign press, says:
after the failure of Major PaniZzardi
and Colonel Schneider to convince the peo-
pie, Colonel Schwarzkoppen's intervention
in behalf of one innocently sentenced
would ybe futile, especially since Germany
has already done more than could be ex-
pected by Count Won Bulow's silemn dec
iarations, whcih were given as represent
ing the empire and the Emperor, and
his declarations in November, 1891, that
he never had any relations with Drey-
fus."
The Tageblatt says the Government
might name the real spy.

followed 1t with a eulogy Of the pioneer
of the Dreyfus campaign, NJ. Scheurer-
Kestner, former vice president of the
Senate, whose character, he said, he
held in the highest esteem.
NJ. Labori then secured another con-
cession favorable to Dreyfus by getting
NJ. de Freycinet to admit that he could
not recall a single fact going to prove
that money had been sent into France
from abroad to promote a campaign in
favor of Dreyfus. The general feeling,
however, was that his appearance on
the witness stand has not materially
helped the accused
