at the truth. At military headquarters

mitted suicide. Colonel Lobe had been one
of the most conspicuous personages on
the scene since the beginning of the trial.
At the tine of the assault on M. Labori
he led the platoon detached to maintain

shooting. There he was somewhat alb

Colonel Lobe took these attacks to heart

he was obliged to leave the room, saying
that he was too i'll to remain until the

of his death leaked out. What serves to
give an air of mystery to the happening
was the conflicting statements about the
cause Of death. Two men who knew Lohe

Chicago Bridges Closed.

Chicago, Aug. 1s.-Two bridges over
the Chicago river have been ordered
closed to traffic, seven others were con-
demned as dangerous and two were
labeled Every suspicious" These last
will be allowed to remain open for a time
unless something happens. All this came
about today because the bridge over the
Calumet river at Ninety-tifth street
dropped into the water when it was
swung for repairs. The bridge broke
suuarely in half over the center pier
and both ends went down into the water.
Two bridge tenders went with the ends.
They We're rescued unharmed. When
City Engineer Ericsson heard of the acci-
dent he cal me to the conclusion that sew
eral others might drop with somebody
besides a bridge tender or two, and he
at once issued orders closing the north
Halsted street and Wood street bridges
and announced that those at Clybourne
place, Northwestern avenue, Twenty
second street, Archer avenue, Southwest
ern avenue, Randolph street and Polk
street were condemned as dangerous.
The bridges at North avenue and Chi
cagO avenue, he says, may do for time.
All Of these bridges are old and have
been in use for many years. To make
the situation more serious 1t Will require
at least $1,000. 900 to build new bridges or
properly repair the old ones, and there is
no appropriation for the purpose.

PicQuart'S Strong Evidence

New York, Aug. 1S.-The Rennes cor
respondent of the Times, discussing yes
terday's proceedings in the Dreyfus court
martial, cabled: Colonel Picquart's
clear, penetrating voice, carrying with it
an honest ring, absolutely convincing to
all English speaking spectators in the
court room, apparently did much to re-
move the unfavorable impressions re-
tanned by the court after Roget's whole-
sale affirmation of Dreyfus' guilt and
EsterhaZy's innocence. Colonel Picquart,
like Roget, as former under secretary Of
the third bureau of the general staff, once
had Captain Dreyfus under his orders
and supervision, and the following points
were established by Colonel Picquart's
evidence. which explained the military
technicalties of the staff mechanism:
First, that, contrary to the testimony
of Generals MERCER, Cavaignac and Ro-
get, Captain Dreyfus could not have had
access to information about the modifica-
tons of plans for assembling the
"troupes de conVerture" troops in case
of mobilization) to be thrown toward the
frontier. so as to cover the actual mobil-
ization, which is one of the subjects
that. also contrary to the evidence OF
Generals MERCER, Cavaignac and Roget,
Captain Dreyfus was by no means the
only officer, civil or military employe,
who could have obtained the information
| indicated by other documents mentioned
| in the bordereau. Colonel P.cquart
! showed, for instance, that the alleged
mysterious firing manual was not a state
secret, and that copies of it were gwen to
any officer under staff instruction who
cared to ask for it.
! Great astonishment was expressed at
another portion Of Colonel Picquart's tes-
| timony, which disclosed the fact that
some of the most important plans and
documents were trusted to the sole care
| of a few civil clerks and enlisted men,
and kept in a room at the war office, ac-
cessible to visitors, where Colonel Won
| Schwarzkoppen and other military at
taches were received once week. These
facts, developed with admirable clearness
| in Colonel Picquarts testimony, made
| marked impression on the court, which IS,
| nevertheless, still under the spell OF this
point blank, swashbuckler affirmation of
the galaxy of generals. All the points in
favor Of the defense so far adduced by the
| testimony Of M. Bertullus and Colonel
Picquart are purely presumptive.
The present phaze of the case, so far as
can be ascertained by closely scru;inizing
| the countenances of the members of the
court martial and by observing the ques-
! tions put to witnesses, is that evidence OF
| more sledge-hammer and crushing
! character than has yet been presented
will be required, in order to convince the
court of Captain Dreyfus' innocence.
Much is expected from the continuation
| of Colonel Picauart's testimony.

United States Should Arbi-
trate the Matter
OF ALASKAN BOUNDARY
He Says the Refusal to Do This Shows
Weakness of Their CaSe--He FavOrS
Canada Building a Railroad to
Dawson City. ...

New York, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to the
Times from London says: Sir Charles
Tupper has left London for brief stay
in the country. He came across to at
tend, as chairman, the annual meeting
of the British Columbia new gold fields
company, which, after only two years OF
active work. declares a dividend of 20 per
cent. Although his visit is in no way
official, he has given the interested au-
thorities his views on the Alaskan bound
ary difficulty. Sir Charles says ne has al
ways tried to keep on the most friendly
terms with the United States, but that
in diplomacy it is a difficult matter. If
America We're either just or believed her
claims just he thinks that the whole
question would be referred to arbitration
unreservedly He believes the Washing
ton authorities will have some difficulty
in satisfactorily explaining any opposi-
ton to arbitration to people whom he is
sure want only what is just.
If arbitration is not to be had he firmly
believes that by running a railway
through British territory exclusively to
Dawson, any hope that Americans may
have of establishing a great shipping
trade to the Kondike region will be shat
tered. In fact he is not certain, arbitra-
ton or none that it would not be a good
policy for Canada 40 build the railway,
although many hundreds of miles must
pass through an inhospitable desert. He
looks forward to the next Canadian gen
ernl elections to place the conservatives
in power, in which case a vigorous Cana
dian policy IS promised. He sails for
Montreal on September Z.
