before Justice Spencer this morning

SENSATIONAL SPEECH
Labori and Demange Differ
on the Proposition of
TeIegraphing an EN-
peror and a King.

RENNES, Sept, Can unusually
larges crowd were seeking an entrap ce
to the Dreyfus courtmartial this morn
ing, everybody realizing that the trial
had entered upon a new phase. Hither-
to it has been the Dreyfus trial. Now
Labori has called in the nations Of the
world and placed France on trial.
The closed session today lasted two
hours and the prosecutors new wit
ness, Cernuschi, was subjected to q
severe examination. Great reticence
session, but it is stated that while the
witness stuck to the points of his story
the defense showed that he had an
evil reputation and was q swtndler and
, gambler:
Cernuschi's story is either prepos-
ferrous or serious according to the point
of view: taken. Any way his appear
ance gave Labori the opportunity to
summon foreigners to the aid of the.de-
fense.
M. Demange dissented from the pro-
position of telegraphing Emperor Will
liam and King Humbsrt, fearing5 the
effect on the military element and on
French prejudices. This Labori did
on his own responsibility.
After some desultory testimony then
came one of the Eaost sensational
speeches of the trial. M. Palelogue,
representing the foreign office, took
the stand. Labori questioned him con-
cerning that portion OF the dossier in
which Count Won Munster, the German
minister at Paris, is said to have de-
clared that Col. Schwarzkoppen wrote
the ''petit bleu" to Esterhazy.
Palelogue replied that Count Won
Monster had written to M. Delcasse, the
French minister of foreign affairs, that
Schwarzkoppen had sent many "petit
bleus" to Esterhazy, land this was prob
ably one of them, though he was not
absolutely sure.
The court almost jumped off their
chairs at this revelation and there
were whispers in the room, "This Is
Germsny's reply. He admits Ester
hazy is the traitor" This will clear
Dreyfus," "Germsny has now given
her word. Next she will send docu-
ments and witnesses" etc.
RENNES, Sept. ct was learned
today that Labori has received replies

and King Humbert. Their nature
cannot be ascertained. Your cores

THE MILLS BUILDING.

Delayed in Construction Owing To
the Non-Arrival of the Steel Col
umns To Be Used in the Con-

the Real Estate and Mining
Brokers, Have Leased the Ground
Floor For a Period of Three
Years.
The delay occasioned in the compile
tion of the Mills building, corner Of
Oregon and San Francisco streets, is
due to the non arrival of the steel col
umrs which will support the two upper
stories from the ground floor.
The building will be three stories,
gon street, and fine attractive arch
will be built across the alleyway.
Most of the apartments have already
been spoken for, and Wilson & Miller,
the real estate and mining brokers,
have taken q three years lease on the
ground floor.
Three of the four rooms in the base
ment have already been rented, and q
large photograph gallery will occupy
rooms in one OF the upper stories.
In taking lease in the ground floor,
Wilson to open q general mining ex-
change in addition to their regular
business of real estate and investments.
Large mineral cabinets will be placed
around the walls of the room and in
these cabinets ore from every mining
district tributary to Ell Paso will be
exhibited for the benefit
of the public and visitors at large, and
mining investors in particular. The

ton obtainable will be given.

in certain districts, and will also prove
an exhibition of much interest to visit
