General Roget next confronted Colonel
Cordier. The general assumed the

dIsdalnful attitudes. His evidence,
however, was not very striking, nor
was that Of Colonel Fleur, nor ArchIvIst

points OF cordler's deposition.
Finally, General Mercier, who evil

Cordier on the witness stand.
The court room was packed to its
utmost capacity pa the distinguished
French gtRtsamsa began bis dsposl-

II was evident that the public was
anxious to see the former minister at
the witness bar, He is venerable
looking man, with scanty. snow white
hair and mustacbe, and was dressed In
a blue serge suit. He wore a little
black bow for necktie, and gave bis
testimony seated, and in a low voice.
This witness was expected to speak
about the thlrty-hve million francs
supposed TO have been contributed
abroad, mainly in England and Ger
many, to the Dreyfuslan war chest.
NJ. De Freyclnet began by expressing
the main which he experienced ct the
troubles his country was undergoing,
Later, he said he remembered a con-
ysrsatlon with General lamont, at
which time there was a reference to
money coming from abroad in support
Of the Dreyfus agitation, which, while
dlslnterested in France, might not be 30
abroad"
N. De Freycinet, however, did not re-
member the details OF the conversation
nor could he say If any specific amount
was mentioned.
N. De Freycinet then alluded to his
fears that attacks on the chiefs of the
army might be preiudIclal to dsei'
pine" adding: might not these at
tsoks lead to the disappearance Of dis
clpllne, and what then would be the
result If we found ourselves In difficult
ties with a foreign country?"
In short. N. De Freycinet delivered
patriotic speech, rather than deposit
ton, and concluded with the words:
IAN the world will accept your YER
dict, which viii open an era of recon-
clllation,"
The members Of the court martial
treated NJ. De FreycInet with the great

to put the question, the witness replied

NJ. De Freycinet was then conducted
to the witness seats, where he sat for
a few minutes besides General Billot'

On the other hand, in spite Of their

that the Beers had been compelled to

In spite OF the delay of General
Methuen in advancing. he is regarded
us largely the master of the situation,
and his entrenched position Is believed
to be unassailable. In the event Of the
Beers attacking Kimberley, General
Methuen would be enabled to make a
counter move with his artillery and cav

part OF the Beers, it was said, was NOT

MOODY'SHAPPY DEATH.

EAST NonrIrr1ELp, Mass. Dec. 23.-
Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist whose
fame was worldwide, died at his home
here. His family werc gathered at his
bedside aud the dying mans last mo.
ments were spent in comforting them.
1t was not expected until Thursday
by the members of Mr.. Moody family
and immediate circlo Of friends that
death would bo the result Of his illness.
The cause of death was n general break.
ing down, due to overwork. Mr..
Moody's heart had been weak for long
time, and exertions put forth in connec.
ton with meetings in tho we,t last
month brought on relapse from which
he failed to rally.
Tho evangelist broke down in Kansas
City. where he was holding services
about month ago, and tho seriousness
OF his cond ition was 30 apparent to the
