MADE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
Col. PicGuart's Attitude in Court Sub
ject of Comment.

RDNNES August 11.-Col Piquart was
magnificent today, as he marched into
court, tall and strongly built dressed in a
frock coat and wearing the ribbon of the
Legion of Honor in his buttonhole. His
first words sounded through the court room
like a trumpet blast as he replied to the
questions of the president, giving his name,
etc. His advent was like a fresh breeze
clearing away the foul atmosphere of the
previous sittings- The colonel began his
deposition in the high resonant voice of 9
man determined to abide by every word
uttered. He was pale, but Rai a look of
grim determination on his face lie looked
the members of the court-,n4rtial straight
II: the eyes, and Immediately assumed ii
cold demeanor toward them, giving Co:
Jcraust. the president of the court, Just
such Difference as the latter could demand,
but not scrap more.
The strength of character of Col. Picquart
ana the attitude he intended 10 adopt in
court was shown "a the outset when, hay
ing been already stopped by Col. Jouaust
II ON entering into certain explanations, he
came TO the reasons why he entered the
war office, and declared:
Why He Entered War Office
Il am going TO explain iii a few words
why entered the var Office adding in a
resolute tone. and that will not be much -
Plcquart spoke, pa. pa bly,. under the infu-
ence of strong emotion, hut throughout he
maintained complete mastery over himself
He accompanied his statements with ener-
getic gestures and with an information that
brought out every point he wished to make
ana he made many, as the incessant muir
murs of approval from the audience showed
FROM the beginning to the end the testi-
mony Of the colonel was spoken without
hesitation. and his facts were arranged and
submitted in lucid, unequivocal language,
which was striking testimony to his finely
wrought intelligence. He was very effect
i've with some simple phrase as when re-
Ieating the late Colonel Henry's theatrical
denunciation of the Dreyfus court-martial.
he turned towards Dreyfus, and pointing
to him with his finger, said:
Henry said ii just as l am saying it
now"
And every one in court today had the
scene at once before their eyes
The strongest point made by Col Picquart
was undoubtedly against Patty de Clam on
the latter S motives in altering the date of
the bordereau.
Plcquarts arguments and courageous at
titude undoubtedly impressed the members
of the court-martial, and elected a con-
tinual ripple OF admiration from the audi
ence. But there was no demonstration
either on his entering or leaving the court
Great precautions had been taken to pre-
vent any attack upon Picquart, cavalry and
mounted gendarmes kept the public a quar-
ter of a mile from the court, and the
streets were swarming with policemen and
detectives

ROchefOrt Cheered and Cursed and
PeIted with Flowers and stones.
MARSEILLES, Feb The departure to-
day Of M. Henri Rochef0rt, the editor Of the
Intransigeant, the radical organ, for Al
geria, was the occasion for a remarkable de-
monstration. The Rue de la Cannebiere
was black with people and, guarded by
large force of police, when NJ. Rochefort's
carriage appeared it was quickly hemmed
in by bowling mob of friends and enemies,
internitting cries of "Vive Rochefort!"
and "Vive LArmeep' and boots and invec-
tlves, while the air was filled with flowers,
stones and oranges hurled Unfortunately
at the carriage. Fighting ensued and many
persons were injured, including two town
councillors.

had no jurisdiction in the matter. In a com
prehensive review of the case, Judge Cook
showed that this State did have jursdic-
ton in the matter. Mrs. Botldn. when asked
if she wished to say anything in her own
defense, stated that she was innocent Of
the horrible crime. Her attorneys gave no.
tlee that they would apply for a writ of

LONDON, Feb. Am alleged interview
with the French minister Of marine, M.
Lockeroy, published in Rome paper, has
created considerable stir in some quarters
in London, as it is held to show that France
has in no wise buried the hatchet, but is
determined to attack Great Britain at the
first opportunity. People here, however, can
hardly credit the veracity of the inter-
view, in which M. Lockeroy begins by de-
scribing the British naval organization as
being 'alI humbug,' and saying THE Eng
lish have only the brutal force of num-
bers." The minister of marine is also
quoted as declaring that war with Great
Britain is inevitable, and he is said to have
added in consequence: Let England con-
tinue to construct big war ships. Our naval
programme is steel-plated, powerful, swift
cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers and sub
marine boats"
The British newspapers have apparently
taken these utterances seriously, and are
urging the government to reply 'to words
with deeds" The French menace seems to
accord with confidential information to the
effect that military and naval circles here
are convinced that France means war. Sc
cret advices it appears, have been received
French authorities are noiselessly preparing
for the struggle. In fact, it is even said
the Napoleonic idea of an invasion Of Great
Britain is revolving in the minds of the
French military authorities and at the
present moment gradual but silent move
ment Of troops is said to be proceeding
towards the northern coast of France,
where, within two months time, 1t is as
serted, about 10000 men will be concen-
trated. The British war authorities are de-
termined not to wait Frances convenience,
but to call her hand, as they did in the
Fashoda incident, and will declare that they
regard this concentration of troops as an
act of war. In the meanwhile the British
navy is paying the greatest attention to
gunnery. The channel squadron this week
has been engaged every morning in firing
practice at moving targets. The results are
being carefully noted
