GOOD DAY FOR DRtYFUS
Labori Is Beginning Great
Career.
ANOTHER PLOT PLANNED
The Army ConspIrators Win Attempt
to Make Out That Esterhazy and
Dreyius We're Accomplices
in Treason.

London, Aug. 23.-The special oorre
| spondents at Rennes agree that al
though yesterdays sitting of the court
martial was monotonous it was ,l,o-
gether good day for Dreyfus. The
proceedings, though much less exciting
than on the previous day, were still
dominated by the strong personality of
M. Labori. People are beginning to see
a likeness to the opening of Gambctta's
career and are asking whether Labori
will go 50 far.
The most important point in the ,ro-
ceed1ngs perhaps was the disposal of
General Gonse, who practically had TO
confess that the general staff had
shielded Esterhazy. Thus Mercier and
Gonse are both practically shelved and
the general staff is beginning to show
signs of wavering.
Another good sign was when a point
of law arose on certain matter and
Colonel Jousaust, the president of the
court martial replied:
Il am not up in law. 1 will make in
qures, and if 1 find l have the right to
co So / will make the order"
This was in reply to Iaboris request
for certain information concerning the
character of a witness to be furnished
by the public prosecutor, and it seemed
to indicate desire on the part of the
judges honestly to seek the truth.
The correspondent of the Times says:
Il learn on good authority that the
forces of the prosecution, led by Gen
eral Roget, are very seriously discuss
ing the advisabilty of adopting entirely
new tactics. According to my nforma-
tion they hope to be able to render
plausible the following theory:
In the presence as they are, oe un-
doubted facts of treason, Us proved by
the existence of the bordereau and
quite unwilling to admit that Colonel
Henry was capable of treason; con-
vinsed, moreover. that only a general
STAFF officer could possibly have obtain
ed the information contained in the
solution 1r as an explanation the .dSa
that Dreytus and Esterhazy were ac-
completes, brought together by Weyl on
the Yacht, and thus Esterhazy's ad-
mission that the bordereau is in his
handwriting is accepted by the court Of
cessation, would be accepted by the
court-martial, while Dreyfus would be
looked upon as the real traitor and pur-
veyor of .he documents to the military
attaches of the triple alliance.
Il need not marshal against this
hypothesis the numerous proofs of its
improbability and even of its impos-
sibility, but I mention it here because
the very fact of it's being now under
discussion shows sudden and brilliant
light on the panic-I do not hesitate to
use such a term-which has seized hold
of the little band of conspirators against
justice, as they have beheld the Rennes
judges during the last three days SLOW
ly but surely placed in possession Of
those facts of which only French super
ior officers inside the war office Still re-
main in blissful ignorance"
