DREYFUS WILL BE CONVICTED.
Opinion of the Cousin of the Prisoner,
An Attorney of Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-"Dreyfus will be
convicted" is the assertion made by
Isaac NJ. Crane, local attorney who is
a cousin of the French Jew now hold
ing the eyes of the world.
Captain Dreyfus was unfortunate at
the start in having surrounded himself
with some suspicious circumstances"
said Mr.. Crane today. Jealousy on the
part of some of his brother officers, his
indulgence in wine and the element that
goes side by side with ii had much to
do in placing him in the predicament.
1T is generally believed by his family
that the present courtmartial will con-
Wet him. After this it is believed he
will be pardoned by President Loubet.
This course is necessary for the welfare
of France and the present tribunal. In
fact, it was expected that the court of
cessation would order Il revision with
directions for an racquittal. Another
trial by courtmartial was hardly ex-
pected.
THE motive for the crime of his con-
viction, aside from the prejudice
against him as a Jew, was the fact that
Colonel Henry and other accusers were
aroused by the attention of Dreyfus in
another direction. They resolved to
prove him a traitor and resortd 10 des-
perate means to sustain themselves, as
the forgery of the bordereau has
shown OF his innocence there is no
doubt, but that strange quality called
the honor of the army, must be sus-
tanned" t.le
The family of Attorney Crane and
that of Dreyfus have not correSponded
since two years before the captain be-
came involved in the present trouble

Where rainbows rise through sunset rains
BY shores forlorn CT Isles forgot,
A solitary voice complains

The voice me wind it. or the sea,
Or spirit of the shutdown west;
Or is it but breath set free
From off the islands OF the blest?
1t may be- but turn my face
To that which still | hold so dear;
And 10, dhe voices of the days
The world is not, the world is here"
IT'S the same old whichever way,
And either way is soon forgot;

ON TRAIL OF AssAILANT.
Evident That Would-be Murderer Is
Making His Way to Paris.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Rennes
SAYS: The assassin of Labori is sur
rounded, and should be caught and
brought in within forty eight hours.
His trail was picked up at a farm on
the road between the Fougeres road
and Servon, on the way to Paris. Here
he was seen Flooding along the road
early Thursday morning. He stopped
at a BARRIERS at Servon and got a
razor to shave himself. He looked tired
and worn ont.
Satisfactory traces were also found
of him at Chateau Giron, some miles
further on, and it is now evident that
he is following the. road to Paris.

Replying to NJ. Demange, witness adj
mitted he had ordered Colonel Picquart
not to concern himself with the hand
writing of the bordereau when he COM

Then, asked NJ. Demange sharply,
when you saw his handwritings were
identical with the writing of the bor-
derreau that made no impression on
you?"
Evidently" replied the witness, the
handwritings had great resemblance

Calls It Dinner Table Gossip.
When Dreyfus was asked the regular
question, he said: Il will reply direct
to the secretary of the ministry of war,
who said he saw me in the offices after
hours. AS regards General Gonz, l am
surprised that the general officer re-
peats dinner table gossip. There is
known to be insurmountable difficulty
in introducing any one into the minis
try of war. and it is absolutely impos-
sible for an officer to bring any one
into the ministry
To this the general replied: No
doubt it is difficult
Colonel Jouaust--No doubt it is diff
cult. but it is not impossible. The
ministry can be entered easily enough
at certain hours. Dreyfus was in a po-
sition to know that. tSensation.)
The prisoner will reply to Secreta-
~ Ferret. who has told a lie. What I
have 10 say to General Gonz is that
every time friend came to see me at
the ministry, even when a French Of
ficer. 1 was obliged TO descend to the
floor below, and even members of the
chamber of deputies who called on me
could not enter the ministry. 1t was
consequently absolutely impossible,
under ordinary circumstances, for a
subaltern to bring any one into the
ministry

De Clam Failed to Respond.


Amid a buzz of excitement, the name
of Major du Patty de Clam was called,
whereupon Major Carriere said De
| Clam had been officially informed that
| his presence was necessary to the
! courtmartiaI. and it was hoped he
would be able TO come as soon as pos
! sible. but the government commissary
/ had heard nothing from him since this
| notification was sent.
| At the request of NJ. Demange il was
decided to. notify de Clam that the
court was ready to hear his
deposition.
There was a further thrill of Curl
osity when General de Boisdeffre. for
| mer chief of the general staff of the
French army, advanced to the witness
box and took the customary oath to tell
the truth. The general remarked that
in view of the exhaustive evidence al
ready given he would try to be brief.
He hurriedly reviewed the leakage in
the ministry of war. the discovery of
the bordereau, the arrest and trial of
Dreyfus and the latter's alleged con-
fessions, before the ceremony of deg
radiation, to Captain Lebrun- Renault
Witness said he believed the confess
sions We're genuine.
He next referred to Colonel Pic
quarts appearance in the intelligence
department. although the witness had
hesitated TO appoint him because he
thought Picquart too self-confident and
sufficiently deferential towards hiS
chiefs.
Picquart Thought Dreyfus Guilty.
1T has been said" continued General
de Boisdeffre, that a secret package of
papers was shown to the judges of the
court-martial of 1894. / positively as
sert that so far as l am concerned, I
never ordered Colonel Picquart to con-
vey any envelope to Colonel Maurel I
may add that Colonel Picquart never
doubted the guilt of Dreyfus. and never
even expressed doubts of his guilt when
he took over the duties of chief of the
intelligence department.
THE first instructions / gave him
We're to follow up the Dreyfus affair."
and it is well known what was the re-
suit of these Instructions
The general next described the inter-
view between himself and Colonel Pic
