THE DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Rennes, Sept. 7.-At the Dreyfus
trial today NJ. Labori asked for a roga-
tory commission to take the deposi-
tions OF witnesses unable to be present
in court. The request was denied.
The refusal of Col. Jouaust seemed
inexplicable, because it appeared to be
his duty to receive all evidence directly
bearing on the case and more especial
ly the evidence of the two attaches.
That Col. Jouaust's decision means a
condemnation CT Dreyfus was the
unanimous opinion of the anti-Drey-
fusards and it was also the opinion of
the majority of the Dreyfusards whose
last hope is that Col. Jouaust only
dared to refuse to take the evidence of
Col Schwarzkoppen and Major Paniz-
zardi because he had already made up
his mind to acquit the prisoner.
General Mercier appeared and at
tempted to explain why some of the
witnesses were rather vague in their
recollections regarding secret dis
patches His statements were met by
a chorus of disgusted ordinations
from the audience. General MERCER
then attempted to bring up two bad
points in TIE career of Capt Frey

Possibility Of a Verdict in the
DreyfuS Case Today
BUTFOR The FRENCH SUNDAY
Whichever way II Goes There Will
Be Rising Dreaded by the Gov
ernmenf - Varying Views OF
JouauSFS Exclusion of TeSfi-
m0ny of SChwarzk0ppen and
P1nIZZ ardi.

Rennes, Sept. To-day came the
beginning of the end of the Dreyfus
trial With the speech of the govern
ment commissary, Major CaIriere, the
case entered upon the final stage of
pleadings, and the verdict will be de-
livered on Monday There is even
talk tonight of the trial ending tomor-
row by holding an extra afternoon
session for NJ. Labori's speech and the
deliberation of the judges.
This, however, is considered unlike
ly, as the government is anxious to
have the judgment withheld over Sun
day in order to avert demonstrations
which would probably turn into blood
shed on day when workmen are
free. The government is not only
fearfu! regarding Rennes, but is par
ticularly concerned regarding Paris
and other large towns where passions
have been heated, and the verdict,
whichever way it is given, is practi-
cally certain to give rise to troubles.
1t is understood that the government
has intinated it's desire to the presi-
dent Of the court martial, Col Jouaust,
and there is no reason to believe that
he will not fall in with their views.
Gel. Jouaust this morning took the
most important position yet taken and
took it entirely upon his own respon-
sibility, although he is undoubtedly
only the mouthpiece of the whole body
of judges. His decision to exclude the
testimony of Col. Schwarzkoppen and
Major Panizzardi was most significant,
as it meant that the court had already
reached conclusion and that the
pleadings of the counsel were merely a
waste of time and might be dispensed
with if they were not a necessity.
The court has made up its mind, but
which way is a matter of view point
and ferns the sole topic of discussion !
Both sides are equally confident that |
the court will decide in accordance
with their views The Dreyfusards |
declare that the judge cannot con-
denim Captain Dreyfus after rejecting |
the decisive evidence which Col. |
Schwarzkoppen and Panizzardi would |
have given in his favor The anti |
Dreyfusards on the other hand ex-
plain today's rulings on the ground
that the judges recognize that the evil
dence of the two military attaches
would be worthless because they
would be morally bound to save their
agent at any cost.
The verdict may be a condemnation,
an unequiVccal acquittal or form of
aequittal that would be equivalent to
a Scotch verdict, Not proven" The
last will be the case if the judges
should pronounce against him by a
vote Of four to three. That is, he
would be freed, even though the judges
in his favor should be in the minority.
But this, naturally, would be very un-
satisfactory, as he would bear a stig-
ma for the rest of his days If con-
Victed, the judgment will be carried to
the military court of appeals, which
will be a formal matter. The special
court will only quash the indictment
and order retriaI if it should be
established that the present court had
erred in the matter OF procedure.

With about one hundred commits
stoned places yet to fill in the ten new
regiments under organization, Sscre-
tary Root finds himself overwhelmed
with applications even greater in num-
ber than the sum total of those re-
ceived at the beginning OF the Spanish
American war. 1t is said at the war
department that the large mapority OF
the men who held commissions in the
volunteer army in that war are again
applicants for service in the Philip
pine campaign, reinforced by nearly all
of those who held non-commissioned
places.
This same willingness to re-enter
the service is said to be observable
among the enlisted men, and the Off

per cent of men who served as volun-
teers in tha Spanish-American war and
nine per cent who were in the regular

of fifty-seven in one regiment.

tertain no personal applications for

preferred through the regular chan
nels.

Green, his widow, with her two sons,

the other two boys, Philip and John,
with their uncle, John o. Green, near
Angola. After the death of the mother,
Philip lost all trace of his brother
Thomas, and for the past 25 years he
did not know whether Thomas was
dead or alive.
Last week, through friend, who
had been visiting near Brldgeville,

that Thomas Green said he had a
brother by the name of Philip, but
did not know what had become of
him, Philip was informed of the fact,
and on Tuesday drove to Bridgeville
and recognized his long-lost brother,
after a separation of so many years.

BRAVE RESCUE IN MID-0CEAN

THE LATTER ABANDONED AT SEA
Men Hauled on Lifeboat by
Use of Ropes.


New York, Jan. 1.-The American
Line steamship Paris, which arrived
today from Southampton after tenn
pestuous passage, reports that on
Tuesday, December 2Tth, in latitude
40. 20 north and longitude 31,29 west,
she sighted steamer flying signals OF
distress. On bearing down to her she
proved to be the British tank steamer
Vindohala, Capt. Clarke, from Rouen,
France, December 18th, for Philadel-
phia, in ballast. She showed the signal
letters IN. DE- meaning must
abandon vessel'' A lifeboat was
launched, in charge of Chief officer
Bradshaw. Fourth Officer Webb and |
eight seamen. A dangerous sea was
running at the time, and it was i'm
possible to get the lifeboat alongside
the Vindobala. The Vindobala's crew
were fastened to lines thrown to the
boat and hauled on board. The ships
carpenter let go of the line fastened to
him and was lost.
1t took two and half hours to rescue
the men. The rescued men are M. j.
Clarke, master: A. Beckman, first
officer; G. Bird, second officer; S.
Weber, cook: ID. Treverrc, steward;
William Angus, boatswain, and Sea-
lntil GihnBCldio, hohttNhIs

men X. Martingussen, G. Wilcox, G.
A. Hanson, Joseph Mussen, T. Murphy
and III. Hasse, and Henry Happey,
engineers boy.
The drowned carpenter was A.
Oesterreich, aged 40, native OF
Stettin, Germany, and residing at
South Shields, England.
The Vindobala was an iron steamer
of 1,S65 tons gross measurement, and
registering 1,l67 tons, built at Heb
burn, England, in 1880, by Andrew
Leslie & Co., and was owned by John
Bell and Richard G. Simons, of New
| castle Tyne. The vessel was insured
| in London.
The Vindobala sprung aleak on De-
| cember 22d, and her officers wore un-
able to locate it. On the following day
a sea anchor was rugged and iibsail
set. She rode thus for four days On
Monday morning, December 26th,.. %
steamer passed, and paid no attention
\ to four rockets sent up. During that
night the steamer made seven feet of
water, putting out all the fires On
the 27th the Paris. bore down to the
rescue of the vessel. During the en-
suing night the wind attained hur-
ricane velocity, and all hands would
undoubtedly have been lost had not
the Paris picked the men up. The
ports and matches of the Vindobala
were left open, and there is little doubt
that she quickly went down after being
abandoned, as she was settling rapidly
when last seen.
