trial thus far" and confident of a con-
clusion "eminently satisfactory to the
prosecution
iolnorroWs session will open with
closed doors to hear from Eugene Ger
huscni, the Austrian political refugee,
the name of the foreign attache he has
already mentioned as admitting that
ne had received reasonable documents
from Dreyfus. The remainder of his
evidence will be given in public
Cernuschi will be subjected to a
searching cross-examination. The
prosecution relies upon him as a last
straw. He was interviewed this even
ing. by several journalists and asserted
that he had in his possession docu
ments to prove every word of his state
ments, yesterday.
According to a rumor now going the
rounds the name of the foreign agent
who, as Cernuschi declares, showed
him documents from Dreyfus revealing
French military secrets. is Gerschen.
The latter is said to be an Austrian Of
fioer who passed three months in Paris
about the time Dreyfus was arrested.
Senator TrarieuX, who testified, to-
day. will probably be confronted by
Gems. MERCER. Gonse, DeBoisdeffre and
Roget. After that it is understood
that the deposition of Col Du Patty de
Clam will be read, Major Tavernier,
who examined him. having arrived at
RenEes. This practically completes
the list of dispositions. unless, as is
probable. Du Patty de CLAIMS testimony
leads the defence to summon witnesses
to controvert his statements.
1t is reported, this evening. that the
minister of war; Gen. Gallifet, has sent
orders to the generals and other mill
tary witnesses to leave RenneS and re-
turn to their respective posts within
two hours after the conclusion of the
dispositions and not to be present dur
ing the pleadings. They will thus be
absent when the verdict is delivered.
Gen. MERCER being on the retired list
is not affected by this order, but Gems.
Roget Gonse, DeBaisdeffre must go.
Their orders are intended not only to
avert the demonstration in favor of
the generals. accompanied probably
! by serious disorders. but also to pre-
vent the moral effect of their presence
in the court room when the judges are
! celebrating as to their verdict, and
| perhaps to prevent something even
worse than moral influences.
The court room was crowded, today,
and numerous applicants We're refused
admission. Public interest is heighten-
Ing Immensely as the trial draws to a
close. 1t is astonishing what a large
proportion OF ladies form the audi
cCcc. their smart costumes and gay
colGrs enlivening the appearance of the
chamber. Indeed, the journalists. who
themselves have to encounter serious
obstacles in order to get admission, Of
ten find their places invaded by wo-
men who apparently pass all barriers
with very little difficulty.

thought it had lots of room and some
to spare. but the great influx of cattle
surprised them somewhat. 1t was
more than they had looked for, and in

herds are in temporary sheds erected
