Colonel Henry. the Red Traitor.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Times says:
We are IN a position to state that in
addition to communications of slight
value enumerated in the bordereau
more than 100 documents of consider
able Importance We're furnished to the
German attache in Paris, Colonel
Schwarzkoppen, at various times by
Esterhazy, acting as intermediary for
and accomplice of the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry.
one of these documents contained de-
tailed information relative to the gen
eral plan of mobilization of the French
army The proceeds of this traffic were
divided between Esterhazy and Henry.
In Partisan diplomatic circles the lat
ter was known to be the red traitor for
several months before his arrest and
suicide, and besides, the power most di-
rectly concerned. namely, Germany.
more than one European government
received information to this effect early

that the latter's cross examination of

whole proceedings.

but it is doubtful whether his examina-
ton will be concluded before court ad-
journs until Monday. There will be no
session on Tuesday, that being AS
sumption day.
Maitre Demange, the principal coun-
sci for Captain Dreyfus, in an inter
view after to-day's session with a rep
resentative of the Associated Press,
expressed himself as very we'll con-
tented with the way in which matters
are proceeding, and, judging from his
manner one may say that the defend
ers of the accused have not yet met
anything very surprising or alarming
in the secret dossier. Naturally, NJ. De-
mango declined to give any particulars
respecting the contents of the doSSier,
but he declared that he and his col
league, NJ Laborie, were satisfied of
the conscientious desire of the mem
bers of the court to thresh the whole
matter out and to have full light
turned upon the accusations against
their client.
This will take some time and the end
of the month will be reached before
Judgment can be given. Meanwhile the
strain is telling on Dreyfus, who is
showing physical distress.

enough to come within the appropria-

The Water Tax.

The Evening Journal says every
consumer of water in this city has
been wronged. Over half million
! If dollars Of water surplus has been
applied to his detriment, and for the
benefit of nonconsumers.
As payers of water tax are prop
erty holders we should like to know
how they have been injured by the
surplus fund being paid over to the
, city treasurer, by whom it is paid
out to meet the current expenses of
the city, thus keeping down the city
tax rate. AS we have said several
times, if the water tax should be
reduced so as to have no surplus,
the property holders will find the
amount added to their tax bills in
July. Then why should we complain
Of the water tax and wish it reduc-
cd7 For our part, we would sooner
have the water tax raised and the
property tax reduced, as money is
generally more easily raised in
January than in July. We do not
Zee that it makes much difference
to the proprietor of the Journal and
Its attaches, whether the tax is re-
duced or not, as they pay very few
dollars of the tax they complain
about. The parties who complain
Of the water tax must have some
private grudge or be actuated by
some sinister motive. The denun-
Citations of the Journal have no
foundation and should have no in
Huence with the Legislature. As
20 men being ostraclsed who vote
against the bill providing for the
proposed change, it is mere bosh--
and the threat may be regarded
as nothing more than wind!
