Brick Layers and Stonemasons' Inter

which he said Dreyfus displayed an

there might be differences OF opinion.

With regard to the date OF the bor-
dereau, du Patty de Clam expressed the
opinion that it must have been written
between the 18th and Goth Of August,
1894.
Regarding the interview with Captain
Dreyfus, du Patty de Clam declared that
he never said to Dreyfus: THE minister

p
Zerger publishes an interview with Col
onel Schwartzkoppen, which is believed
TO define Germany's policy towards the
Dreyfus affair When asked whether
he would go to Rennes to depoSe, Col
onel Schwartzqoppen curtly replied:
''No. l do not think the emperor will
permit me to make a statement. Have
we not already adopted line Of con-
duct in the matter? We have done so
twice. First, our ambassador to France
declared that we had had nothing to do
with the affair Then Count Won Bue-
low German minister of foreign af-
fairs) confirmed that statement plainly
and distinctly in the reichstag. What
was the result? One stuck to ones opin-
ion. What good can be done by fur
ther assurance that would have no 9TH
er reSult?''
WHY GERMANY WOULD REFUSE
London, September THE Odessa
correspondent of The Daily Mail says
1T is suggested that the explanation OF
Germanys reluctance to take more ac
tive steps to prove DreyfuS' Innocence
lies in the fact that, when the late CZal
Alexander wanted confidential informa
ton as to French military strength
with a view to the alliance, Captain
Dreyfus was one of the officers ordered
by the French to prepare the necessary
report. Two such reports were prepar
ed and rejected. One was stolen from
the archives by EsterhaZey and sold t.
Germany, which thus possesses dOcu
mentS in the actual handwriting o
DreyfuS, but is unwilling to avOW he
share in shady transaction

Atlanta, Ga, September 6.-The Con-

seemed more probable at that time
that the Coast Line was the new owner

London, September 6.-Today's news
