MIR. WARMERS VIEWS
He Thinks Mr. Reed Will Re-
 main in Congress.
He Surrenders inc Speskership Only Because He Is Not in Entire Harmony Wiih His Party-The West Solid for Expansion.

Washington, Aug. 21.- Representa-
 tive Warner of Illinois. who is in Washington looking after soldier mat ters. expressed the belief that ex- Speaker Reed will remain in congress, though retiring from the speakersh.p.
 q do rot pretend" he said, ito any information on the subject; I give it merely as my guess that Reed will stay in the house. I believe ths:, ind ing himself cut of harmony with the sentiment of his party with respect to some important questions -expan- sion and so fOrth-he decided that, as a man Of a high sense of honor, he could not retain the speakership and be free to advance his own views on these questions, and that he there fore decided to .ake his place on the floor and do the best he can to ad- vance the views he holds.
 Of course, if he does this his strong personality and great intellectual power will give him an influence, but the republican party is in favor of eX- pansion, and it will not be able to overcome that sentiment I regard Reed as the biggest man in America, but I do not agree with him on the expansion question and would noJ yield my views to his, nor would othsr republicans on the f1oor He would have to maintain his position against very general and very active attack in trying 10 fight expansion.
 T do not know how you people in the east feel about the matter, but the western sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of taking what we can get and holding what we take. The western people are expansioriS..s While they respect Reed and admire him, they would not be influenced by him :O change their position on this question.
 Speaking of the prospects of legis- latiOn this winter, General Warner said he did not anticipate an exciting session; did not think .here would be any final legislation relating to our new possessions, and did not expect any financial legislation beyond the definite adoption of the gold standard. He thought the gold standard would be fixed definitely, as it should be, and that legislation would stop there.

 iteS af Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 21.-T1he first fn- stallmeill of delegates and visitors to the state conventions of the POpuhSts, Democrats and Free Silver Republi- cans put in am appearance this morn ing, and tonight, as the trains arrive from all over dhe state, tine f1Epour will be heavy. The delegatels on the ground declare that the silver allies are preparing to make the fight of their life to carry Nebraska this fall. There are numerous candidates for the nomination as supreme judge, hhe principal office to be filled this fall, but to which of the three wings of the fusionists the nomination. will be given appears very uncertain as both the Popufist and Democratic delegdes as sert with much vigor that they will name the candidate.
 It is apparent that chances are re- solved into almost certainty that ex- Governor SiIas M. Holcomb will re- ceive the nomination for supreme judge, which is the mes. imp 7rtant ef- fioar~ to be voted for at the fall cleo tion. It is conceded that the platforms Cf all three conventions will be dic- tated by friends of Bryan.

THE CANADA CUP
A Fierce Aquatic Contest Was Bs-
 gun Yesterday.

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 21.-No previous contest for the Canada cup has ever aroused such intense and widespread interest on both sides Of the boundary line as the races between the Genessee and the Beaver, which begins this af- ternOon on Lake Ontario, off Toronto harbo-. Hundreds of strangers are in town from Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Detroit, New York, Rochester and many other cities, eager to witness the great struggle be- tween the two speediest yachts on the great lakes. The Chicago delegation is especially large, the unusual interest taken in the contest by the Chicago yachtsmen being due to the fact that the American challenger will race un- der the coIors of the Chicago Yacht club The Beaver, which defends the cup. represents the Royal Yacht club, of Montreal

THE DREYFUS TRIAL
The Partial Character of inc
 Court Made Patient.
The Prisoner Has Improved inc Method of His DefenSe-DespiC- able Conduct of One of Inc Wit. neSSeS of Inc Army.

Rennes, Aug. 21.-Three points
 stood out prominently in .oday's pro-
 ceedings. They were Col Jouaust's display of partiality, the new attitude i taken by Dreyfus, and the contempti- ble conduct of the last witness, Junck. The spontaneous utterances by Jouaust of '5he word encore" Cagain) when Picquart asked to be heard, is a topic of conversation this afternoon, as
 Jouaust fer the first time thus openly and csndidIy revealed his partia,ity and hoisted anti-Drsy syfusard colors. Throughout the trial neither he nor the judges have shown particular love for PicquaTt, but he has never com mitted such a fragrant violation Of justice and his duties as judge as he did today.
 Col. Picquart's attitude of manly in dependence and utter fearlessness when in the witness box, his refusal tO gently murmur the evidence in the ear of the judge instead of, as he cid, uttering his testimony in a trumpet vCive, so that not . person in court missed 2 syllable, irritatsd the judges, who showed their impatience in the tone of the questions they put to him. Picquart today was perfectly within his rights, and it was even his duty 10 ask to b9 heard in the true interest of justice in order that the fullest light should be shed on the affair, and it is well remembered that when. last week, General Billet and other generals asked to be confronted with Picquart, NJ. Bertullus and other witnesses, Col. Jouaust readily accorded permission. The Dreyfus press is certain to take up this ma'5ter. The only Dreyfusard newspaper at Rennes has already pub hshed a protest this afternoon.
 The second point the change of at titude on the part of DTeyfus, has given universal satisfaction to his friends. HitheTtOfOre he has confined himself, when asked by the judges if he had any reply 70 make to the witnesses, to an impassi0ned pOItestation of his in nocence. This made an immense, but l transitory impression on his hearers. | Moreover, General Roget made the re-

She steers with a six foot tiller, with a light tackle, handy to use in a breeze. Her skip per in the present contests is Charles G. Davis, reputed to be the most skill full amateur sailor on Long Island sound.

THE THIRD WEEK.

Rennes, Aug. 21.-The third week of the second trial of Dreyfus began with out incident at 6:30 this morning. There was a large attendance at the Lycee at the opening of the court. in view of the possible re-appearance of Maitre Labori, the leading counsel for the defense. But though he is pro gressing as satisfactorily as possible, his physicians deemed it best for him to remain quiet.

mark in court last week that an innO- cent man does not merely protest his innocence, but defends hdmself This
 undoubtedly stung Dreytus irto the line he adopted today when he rose and replied argumentatively in a calm voice to the various points raised by
 the witnesses. It was in response to Captain Junck that he made his long est statemers-, occupying about ten minutes, during which he used the notes he had taken while Junck was speaking, and with a methodical ar raignment Of the facts, and in uns- Guiyccal language he effectively dis cussed the inaccuracies Of Junck's tes- timony. The prisoner punctuated his remarks with nodere.:e, well chosen gestures of his night hand, standing erect, facing his judges and holding his gold braided kapi in his left hand.
 The third point, the conduct of Junck in repeating the confidencss made to him as a comrade by Dreyfus, disgusted his hearers, and in the mind of any right thinking man must have considerably impaired the value Of the remainder of his evidence. He and Dreyfus sat together n the same of flee and naturally exchanged conf dences regarding their relations with women. But, it was pointed out, that no one but a contemplate person re- peats them in cou-.., and especially in the case Of a man passing as an officer and gentleman. Dceyfus, in replying scored distinctly when he brought out Junck's utter lack elf a sense of honor and he himself declined to enter into a discussion of the matter.
