proceedings against lola should have
been brought by the court-martial
which he had attacked, and not by the
minister of war. The members Of the
court-martial brought fresh action.
The trial was removed to the court Of
assizes at Versailles, but lola pleaded
a technicality in the indictment and
the case was again referred to the
court Of cessation. A third time 1t
came up before the court of assizes at
Versailles, and lola again appealed
to the court Of cessation to uphold the
connection between the Dreyfus and
Esterhazy affairs, and was condemned
by default. lola had meantime left
France to await an opportunity more
favorable to an unbiased judgment Of
the case.
With the later events the public Is
more familiar. The application to the
court Of cessation for revision; the
granting of the application on June 3,
1899; the return of Dreyfus from Dew
lis island. June 80, and the exciting
details Of the trial, beginning Aug. Z,
are all fresh in the public mind.

OUTLINE OF DREYFUs CASE.
Principal Events That Have Taken Plac
During the Last Five Years.

Principal Events That Have Taken Place
During the Last Five Years.
The Dreyfus case is the most re-
markable of its kind in the history Of
nations. The following is mere out
line of the principal events:
Nov. /, 1894, it was announced that
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, Jewish STAFF
officer, had been arrested, charged
with treason. The charge in detail
was that he had furnished military in
formation to a foreign power Ger
many. His first trial began Nov. 10,
1894. 1t was held behind closed doors.
1t was military court-martial, and rem
dered verdict of guilty.
Jan. 5, 1895, Captain Dreyfus was
publicly degraded on the Champs de
Mars in the presence of the military
and an immense assemblage. When
his sword was broken he exclaimed:
81 am innocent; vive In Francew
He was condemned to life imprison-
ment on the lie du Diable, on the coast
of French Guiana.
The first effort TO secure justice for
Dreyfus was made by Colonel Pic
quart of the intelligence department
of the war office, but Picquart was re-
moved, sent to Tunis, afterward re-
called, expelled from the army, and
finally arrested. His release was an
important incident of the trial Just
closed.
The next attempt in Dreyfus' behalf
was made by NJ. Scheurer-K estner,
vice president of the senate, and was
unsuccessful. Dee. 4, 1897, the matter
came before the chamber of deputies,
who upheld the decision and de-
nounced all who had aided Dreyfus.
1t having been discovered that Count
Major Walsin Esterhazy was the au-
thor of the principal document on
which Dreyfus had been condemned,
charges were made against Esterhazy,
who was tried by secret court-mar-
tial and acquitted Jan. IL, 1898.
Emile lola, the novelist, became the
champion of Dreyfus, and on Jan. 10,
1898, published in Aurore his famous
letter Il accuse" in which he de-
nounced all who had taken part in the
condemnation of Dreyfus and in the
acquittal of Esterhazy, and defied the
government to prosecute him.
lola was tried in the court of as
sizes; the trial lasted from Feb. to
Feb. %. He was defended by Maitre
Labori-Dreyfus' counsel In the trial
lust closed. lola was condemned, but
appealed to the court of cessation. That
curt quashed the judgment of the
urt of assizes on the ground that the

Shelby, O., Sept. Cat 1905 a. m.
the fire department was called to the

discovered in the rolling mills. In
less than ten minutes the whole room
originated from an overheated oven.
The property loss will be very heavy
as the company had just completed ex-
tensive improvements and owing to
the works having large amount Of
government work on hand their loss
cannot be estimated. The rolling mill
is q total loss as is also the piercing
machine room, engine room and boiler
room. The fire was gotten under con-
troll at 2:25 a. m.

"The government considers that

Britain to define the constitution Of

The government has issued formal
