Rennes, Sept. s-That Capt. Drey-
fus will be condemned is the almost
universal opinion in Rennes tonight
Hitherto there had always been d.
vergence, but now both camps, the
Dreyfusards and the anti -Dreyfusards
seem unanimous in the conviction
that the verdict will go against him.
Upon just what this is based and
the precise reason for the conclusion
Is mystery, but there is no disguis-
ing the fact that from NJ. Labcri down
to the numerous DreyfusardsS who
crowd the hotels and cafes and who
last night were still hopeful that
Dreyfus would be saved, all seem
now to agree that his last chance is
gone.
The one source of hope is Labori
himself, who said this evening to the
correspondent of the Associated
Press:
"We fear that Capt Dreyfus will
be condemned, but we do not intend
to throw up the sponge. We shall
60 on fighting for him"
M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, and
other prominent Dreyfusards ex
pressed a similar opinion Excite
ment is at fever heat and nothing is
discussed but the verdict tomorrow.
The news of the publication of
Count Won Buelow's speech in the
Reichsanzei reached Rennes today
and is considered very important on
the eve of verdict, which. in some
quarters, it is thought, will be re-
garded as slight by Germany, if it
be condemnation, as being tanta-
mount to a public refusal to take the
word of Emperor William, as his
minister is merely his mouthpiece.
According to the latest report the
verdict may be delivered betwee n3
and S tomorrow afternoon, the court
adiourning after NJ DemaDge's speech
until 8 O'Clock.
Maitre Labori fo1egoes the right to
speak for the defense, lest by doing
so he irritate the judges and destroy
the good effect hoped for from the
speech of NJ. Demange.
The court, therefore, will delibe
rate on the conclusion Of NJ. De-
mange's speech and the judgment
will probably be delivered before
noon.

A Striking Object Lesson.

For several years there has been
more or less discussion as to the advls'
ability of reducing the cotton acreage.
and Dumbe of conventions Of planters
have been held, and numerous address
es issued urging this AID showing It's
importance, but in spite of this the
cotton crop has continued to increase,
each crop being larger than the p:eced-
ing ope. All this shows that it is
practically impossible to secure anything
like general coacert Of action b3 plant
ers for material reduction of acreage.
If some reduce others increase; if
some States contract others expand and
the result is, unless some disaster occur,
more instead Of less cotton. and less
instead of more moaey to the planters
This is ssrikiOgly shown by the last
report of Secretary Hester, o! the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, in which,
speaking of the value Of the crop of
asst year compared with preceding
years. be says:
The average commercial value of the
crop is $25. 68 per bale. egaiust $z8 81
last year. $50 rs the year before and
S41 % 10 1895 90 and the total value
Of the crop is $2S2,773.0oo, against
1920, 553, 600 last year and $500, $685.
900 the year before. He calls atten-
tion to the fact that the money value of
the cotton crop just marketed is slightly
under that of the 1898 81 crop. which
was 3.725 ,023 bales less the value of
the 1893 81 had been $2S3, ,118,000 -

War and Navy Departments

Methods.

Washington, Sept THE activity
of the war department officials and
the close figuring that is being done
regarding the available force in the
Philippines indicates an early move
ment. It has been known that a
forward movement was contemplated
in November, but there are now in
dications that the campaign may
begin at least a month earlier if
there should be favorable weather
conditions
By Oct. 1st Gen. Otis will have an
army of $1,000 effective fighting

of the army that such force ought
to begin active campaign without

are such as to absolutely prevent

the suggestion that an army should

rear. This will necessitate the coop

win the Emperor Turn Up
His Thumb to Save the
Gladiator.

Rennes, Sept. e-The salvation of
Capt Dreyfus hangs on 8 word from
Emperor William. This is the gen.
eral opinion here tonight. If the
kaiser consents to allow Col.
Schwartzkoppen. the German mill
tary attache in Paris in 1894, to
testify before the coaftmsrtial, or to
send deposition, or, what is con
sidered still more probable, to allow
his deposition to be accompanied by
the actual documents mentioned in
the bordereau, then Dreyfus is saved.
IF the emperor. however, decides
that it is not 10 the interests Of
Germany for Col SchwartzkopPen
TO intervene. then Dreyfus' case is
hopeless and his condemnation Ger
tain.
Tonight the eyes of France are
looking across the frontier to Stutt-
CART, where the kaiser is staying,
sud anxiously awaiting his action.
They are in the position of spectat-
o.s of . gladiatorial combat in the
Coliseum in ancient Rome, with
Dreyfns lying at the foot of his sn-
sagoniss and watching whether the
emperor points his thumb up or
down. Al late hour this evening
