OF the Delegates to Bring the
Soldiers Home,

Huron, S. d., Aug. 19.-Three hum
dred delegates from all parts of the
state attended the convention to lay
plans for the return to the state from
San Francisco of the First South Da-
kota regiment. 1t was determined
that the expense of bringing home the
troops should be betrayed by individ-
ual subscription or otherwise. A COM
mittee of sixteen on finance was named
also reception committee to go TO
San Francisco. composed of the gov
ernor, state officers, congressman and
senator's, with one from each city hav-
ing company in the regiment, each
committeeman to bear his own eX-
penses.
A certificate plan is likely to be
adopted by the finance committee in
raising the $4,000 depending on re-
endorsement by the state at the next
sitting of the legislature. Three thou
sand dollars will be provided as hos
pital fund.
The committee on transportation is:

(Great sensation.)
The witness bitterly recited the de-
tails of the various Vaccinations with
a view of discriminating him, instiyat-
ed by Henry, Esterhazy and du Patty
de Clam, together with the orders
sending him on an inconsequennal
mission to Trivili. with view of get

quent orders to Gen. Leclerc, command
ing in Tunis, TO send Picauart 10 the
frontier, which Leclerc did not do.
The witness then told of securing the
services of a lawyer for his own pro-
lection. and how the lawyer got the
matters up in the senate.
AT the conclusion of Picquart's depo-
sition which occupied the entire ses-
sion, Generals Roget and MERCER were
allowed to be confronted with the Wit
ness. but the conformation only lasted
a few minutes and did not prove SEN
sational, having reference only to com
paratively minor points.
Picquart showed marked ability and
keenness in the presentation of the
case and was listened to most intently
throughout. The court was adjourned
until tomorrow.

London. Aug. 19.-Eng,and. has
practically, ceased to discuss its own
affairs, everything being side tracked
Till it is seen how the French republic
will emerge. from the direct crisis
which threatens its existence. English
men now realize that Dreyfus is a
mere label to designate the great stru9-
gle involving the church. the army,
the aristocracy. the royaiists and the
civil power of the republicans.
A keen observer who is attending the
court-martial at 1Rennes, writes:
'Drevfus has become the smallest fig
ure in the case. He gives the conflict
its human note, but only to foreigners.
To the French he isaa mere exhibit, a
mere she'll. the seed wherefrom the
oak sprung. The sap Of the oak is the es-
sence of revolution"
1t is now recognized here that the
agitation will not cease, whatever the
verdict OF the court-martial. The
chief Significance Of it all to England
iis that it is likely to. reduce. the Franco
Russian alliance is faGG nnllitS., !. 1t

votion to the ideas of the peace con-
ference. besides his nervous horror of
strong action. will not count on the
side of a needless war.

Rennes. Aug. 19.-By Associated

morning with the testimony of Major
Cuignet, formerly attached to the min
istry of war. He began by saying that

gan making plans for placing mines
under fhe eastern railroads, for the
purpose of destroying them in case it
was necessary. Dreyfus pestered the
witness fora knowleder of general
iplans for mining railroads till the Wit
ness gave them TO him. Dreyfus made
.copious notes. When Dreyfus' house
was searched these notes were not
found.S The witness did not believe he
destroyed them, leaving the inference
that he sold them to foreign power.
Then the witness declared his belief
in Dfeyfus' guilt on three grounds:
First his confession to Lebren-R enault.
Second. the technical nature of the
contents of the .bordereau. Third, the
result of determination of the secret

parts Of the county. The largest crowd
that has gathered at one .point ttor

excellent speeches. There are said TO
have been 1900 people on the grounds
and the estimate. is considered to be
very fair. Gov. Shaw was present and
he made one of his very best speeches.
He spoke chiefly on the war question,
and paid high tribute TO the boys now
seeing actual service. The large tent
was packed with interested listeners
and the governor WAS at his best. Gen.
Bailey. department commander Of The

to say that it must not be understood
that he endorsed all the witness had
said, 'in reference to "A foreign mill
tary officer who, at present. held dip
lomatic appointment in France (Sen-
sation.) Demange then took the wit
ness in hand and convicted him of
contradicting the evidence given by
him before the court of cessation.
When asked if he wished to reply to
the witness Dreyfus declared that he
had never asked Cuienet for docu-
ments' except at the direction of his
chief. "All the details Cuignet has
given on this subject" said the pris-
oner, "sprang out of his own irnagina-
ton. and are due to the same state of
mind which prompts his unreasoning
bitterness even against an innocent
man." Then De Clam was called for
but failed to appear. Gen. de Bois-
deffre for the chief of the general
staff was next sworn. He hurriedly
reviewed the leakage in the ministry
OF war, the discovery of the borde-
reau, the trial of Dreyfus. and the lat
|tter's alleged confessions, the
genuineness of which he be-
lieved. He said his instruc-
tons to Picquart, as the chief of
the intelligence department, we've to
follow up the Dreyfus affair. He de-
clared that he was convinced of ORGY
fus' guilt today as strong as ever. He
said it was an abominable crime to
substitute man of straw like Ester
hazy since that could not lesson Drey-
fus' guilt Esterhazy chose singu-
larly opportune monument for his con-
fession that he had written the hor-
dereau but Esterhazy was always tell
ing lies. 1t was certain that he could
not have delivered the document nam
ed in the bordereau. The witness
then told of the suffering he endured
as a result of the exposure of the Hen
ry forgery, and his resignation as chief
of the general staff.
General de Boisdefrre said the disap-
pearance of documents from headquar-
tiers ceased for a year after Dreyfus'
arrest. but was renewed after that.
Dreyfus declined to reply to Bois-
deffre's testimony when the latter fin
ished. General Gonse followed Bots
detfre. He maintained that the pris-
oner was guilty and declared that the
Henry forgery was known week be-
fore Henry's confession. He admitted
that while he was struck with the sim
ilarity of Esterhazy's handwriting and
that of the bordereau he nevertheless,
forbade Picquart to investigate the
matter. Picquart was then recalled to
explain certain allusion to secret SER
vice funds, and after General Billot
had spoken in rehuttal OF Picquart's
statement the court adjourned for the
day ,5 M

Many of the Documents Ho
Considers Forgeries.

.Rennes. Aug. 1s.-(By Associated
Press.)-Monnard appeared as counsel
for DreNfus at the opening of the
court this morning. Col. Picquart re-
Sumed his testimony. He discussed the
dossier as the main spring for the con-
defamation OF Dreyfus. He took up
the documents successfully, referring
to the writers and addresses of the
letters as "a" and "B" Before taking
up the dossier, however, lie protested
against the allegation that he had con-
scented to the communication of the
secret. documents to the first Dreyfus'
court-martial without the prisoners
knowledge. declaring that it would
have been an insult to the court to be-
lieve they would lend themselves to
such Vaccinations. He then proceeded
to discuss the phrase, occurring in the
bordereau, Il am going to the ma
neuvers." He said there was no ques-
ton Of the probationers going to the
maneurers in September. This would
have curtailed their period of proba-
ton in an entirely unusual manner.
The witness then carefully analyzedsthe
secret dossier. The dossier," he said,
: may be divided into two parts. The
! first contains three documents: One
"a document known as 3D. the Avignon
documents, the terms of which are
about as follows: i doubt the proofs
and service letters. The situation is

only as coming from the ministry.
Two--A document containing the
words 'Cette canailleSde d. Three
A document which is nothing but the
3Teport of a journey to Switzerland
made in behalf of foreign power.''
4'Ihe second part of the dossier,'" con-
tinued Picquart, was constituted
chiefly of a supplementary review of
the first. 1t contained the gist of sew
en- or eight documents. one OF which
