Negative and Defiant.

London, Sept 1s.-The reply of the
Transvaal to Mr.. Chamberlain's latest
note is said to cover nine pages. 1t is
eminently of the negative and incon-
elusive" character which Mr.. Chamber
lain declared would compel the imperial
government to consider the situation
afresh. 1t practically repudiates suzer-
ainty, reverts to the seven years fran
chise and declines to give equality to
the Dutch and English language in the
volksraad. In short, il is politely mega
tive and defiant. The full text may not
be available for day or two, but it
will not change the aspect of affairs:

PREPARING FOR WAR.
The Transvaal Repudiates the Suzeranty
of Great Britain.


London, Sept. 1s.-All dispatches from
South Africa this morning talk of the
imminence of hostilties and the prepa
rations for them. In Johannesburg it
seems to be taken for granted that the
Orange Free State has approved Presi-
dent Kruger's note and promised active
assistance in the event of war.
An official telegram posted at Volks-
rust says that the Transvaal, with the
assent of the Orange Free State, repu
dates British suZerainty and adheres to
the seven years franchise.
At Cape Town it is rumored that Mr..
Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader, sent
communication to President Steyns
Of the Orange Free State entreatins
him to do his utmost to preserve peace,
but that he received in answer the
words TOO late"
All military men agree that it is out
of the question to begin hostile opera
tions before the middle of next month,
no rain having fallen and the Veldt be-
ing still bare.
1t is supposed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaal is an
appeal to the powers, begging them to
recommend arbitration on the lines of
the conference at The Hague.
A dispatch from Charlestown says the
widest rumors are current there, and
that great alarm is felt owing to The
unprotected state of the town, espe-
cially as Boer signaling is plainly WIS.,
ible on the adjacent mountain.
There was serious disturbance in
the market square Of Johannesburg en-
Saturday afternoon. A meeting called
by labor agitator named Balm to con-
denim the British policy and to enroll
volunteers to fight for the Beers. led
to serious fights with the police, last
ing couple Of hours. Many persons
were injured. among them the recently
notorious DIR. Matthews. who made a
charge against a mounted policeman.

such thoughts, much less uttered these
words.
Several minor officers testified in sup
port of Lebrun Renaud's account of the
interview with Dreyfus.
Major Forzinetie who was in charge
of Dreyfus while located at Church, in
Midi Prison, testified that he had heard
nothing but protes'ations of innocence
from Dreyfus who said he would commit
suicide. Forzette told him to hold up
as on the day of condemnation, remind
ed him of his duty to himself and family.
He said Dreyfus was subjected to terri
BILE persecution by De Clam. The wit
ness cautioned De Clan against his
measures being too harsh on man
who had not been proved guilty.
Boisdeffre and Roget interrupted the
witness several times but were unable
to shake the majors splendid showing.
The whole court was profoundly stirred
when Dreyfus arose at the conclusion of
Forzette's testimony and said with
streaming eyes "That am here today,
aye, that am in the world even, | owe
to Major Forzette.'

The First Appearance of Mr..
Fresh.

"The Finish of Mr.. Fresh" one of
Greater New York's latest and most sue
cessful, witiest and most winsome and
whimsical farce comedies, is to be pre-
seuted at the Barre opera house, on Sat-
urday, Sept. 2. a chance open week for
one night performance having given Mr.
Lapoint rare opportunity, of which he
was quick to take advantage, paying the
biggest percentage in annals OF his
house. The novelty and mirthful mag
netism of the play and the notable
strength, talent and versatility of its me
tropolitan cast, warrant the assumption
that popular appreciation will fully JUS
tify the exceptional cost incurred.
Mr.. U. r. Fresh, an uncommonly
perfect stage portraiture of a not uncom-
mon class of social adventurers. is the
happily hapless central figure in mas
terky plot of pleasantries and pleasure
founded upon gay Bohemian phases of
city life, novel even to the majority of
New Workers themselves, and admitting
of the appropriate, effective and artistic
introduction of a wide range of funny
and fasinaing characters, bright and or
iginal music by Prof Leon Austin, of
London, England, typical songs and fin
ished vaudeville specialties. Artful
dodger, as Mr.. Fresh assumes to be, he
hopelessly cmm"shcs himself on a net
of the most ludicros and unexpected
complication, to his own utter undoing
and the immeasurable delight of the
spectators of his convulsion finish.
Negotiations are pending for an early
production of this great American sue
cess at prominent London theatre.

Dreyfus Could Not Have OBJ
tained the Documents
Strong EYidenceinFaYor
Dreyfus Had Opportunity to
Possess More Important
Tracts But Did Not
Avail Himself

Rennes, Aug. 31-The secret session
that was called today lasted two hours,
after which the public sitting was re-
sumed.
Gen. De LONE who yesterday testified
adversely to Dreyfus took the stand in
the secret session today and gave expert
testimony on pieces in the bordereau.
He reiterated his belief in the possibility
of the accused having obtained them.
He dwelt more at length on their value
to foreign powers.
Expert Artillery men Ducros and
Hartman were then called by the defense
and they testified as to the impossibility
of Dreyfus being able to obtain the doe
uments in question.
Ducros also testified that Dreyfus had
many opportunities to obtain much more
important documents than those cited in
the bordereau and he did not avail him
self of them.
Hartman testified as to the lecture
on hydraulic brakes given at the Mill
tary School at St. Cyr when hundred
officers were given as much of an op-
portunity to learn all about it as Drey-
fus had.
Captain Rebrun Regand was the first
witness at the public session. 1t had
been alleged that to him Dreyfus made
confession of guilt, and his appear
ance, therefore, caused intense interest.
He said: "When visited the prisoner
he said to me: | am innocent. In
three years my innocence will he cstab
lisheu and the ministry knows it, Dn
Patty De Clam came to my cell a few
days ago to tell me that the ministry
knew it and was aware that ii had de-
livered documents to Il foreign power
they were unimportant and done only to
obtain more important ones in return "
This version of what Dreyfus had
said was different from either Dreyfu
or Mercier's account and the only con-
fession about it was the one implication
that Drryfus accepted De CLAIMS words
and quoted them as Il just slilicalion to
himself.
The court: "Was it you who told
Mercier?'
Witness "Only what have told to-
day"
Dreyfus: "Where was the conver-
sation held?"
Witness: "In the little hail.
Drcyfus; "My words, Il am inno-
cent were in reply to a question, and
were reiterated. | do not understand
how an officer could hear any such
serious words as you say you heard
from me without asking an explanation.

ceive that you transformed my words
