turned.

NJ Matthew Dreyfus, brother of Cap
tain Dreyfus, visited the wounded man
this morning. Finding him to be pro-
crossing favorably, NJ. Dreyfus said:
s'Well mon bravet The revolver does
not seem to have done you much HARM
..Oh," replied NJ. Labor, smiling, re
volvers are no use against me. | am
too big. 1t needs cannon shot to do me
much HARM

has telegraphed to the sufferer, express
ing his sincere grief and expressing
hopes of his recovery.
Emil Zola has telegraphed NJ. Laberi
saying:

NJ. Demange had long consultation
with Matthew Dreyfus this afternoon
respecting t0day's session of the court
martial, the gravity of which is fuGy
recognized.
NJ. Demange is much upset by the
loss of the assistance of his colleague,
particularly as M. Labor had prepared
a special set of questions for Geatsal
Roget, and the absence OF this, together
with the fact that NJ LaBoris secrn-
tary was compelled to be away, put NJ.
Delnange to a great disadvantage.
Counsel for the defence however, will
take General Roget III hand the first
thing tomorrow
NJ. Hill, SecTetary of M. Labor, said
it had not been thorsht advisable to in,
form the patient today of the refusal
of the president of the court martial to
adjourn the sessions in view of counsel S
condition.
The refusal to adjourn is a great
disappointment to the Dreyfus family.
This is considered grave portent and
is taken to be an indication that the
members of the court martial have al
ready made up their minds unfavorably
to Dreyfus.
Maitre Mornard who represented
Madame DreyflIs in the revision proceed
ings before the Court of Cessation, has
been summoned to replace Maitre Labor
until the latter is able to return to hi,
post Nj. Mornard is expected to appear il
court tomorrow. He is, however, a pool
substitute for Labori..
LABORI is WEAKER.
Rennes, Aug. III a. m.-Doctor
Paul Reclus says that Maitre Labori
was weaker yesterday and suffered much
pain. The physicians have not yet ex.
tracted the bullet, and do not believe
that Labori can attend court Monday.
