WITNESSES AGAINST
DREYFUS BRIBED
Arrest Of French Officer May
Form Sensational Sequel
to Famous Trial.
PARIS, June Is.

PARIS, June 49,
A sensational development in the Drey-
fus case is expected to follow the arrest lr1s1'
by order OF the Minister OF War, OF NJ
Dautriche, the keeper of the archives at
the Ministry of War. who is now con-
fined in the fortress OF Mont Valerien.
According to the Information News
Agency which obtains It's military in-
formation from the Civil Cabinet OF the
Minister of War. the officers arrest Is the
result OF a recent examination of the ac-
counts Of the Second Bureau. when 1t was
discovered that the sum of $4,000 was mss
ing. and could not be accounted for.
1T was afterward found. however, that
this sum had been employed by the gen
eral staff as brides to suporn certain WIZ
nesses who gave evidence at the Dreytus
trial at Eennes.
The affair is likely to cause consider
able sensation, and other arrests IN con-
rection with the bribery OF witnesses at
The Dreyfus trial by the general staff are
imminent.
With regard to NJ Dautrlche, It Is OF
course understood that any acts commit
ted by him must have been carried out in
consequence of orders from superior
oficer and 1t does not appear, therefore.
that his personal honor is in any way
questioned.

DINNER I'm THE DARK
is THE LATEST CRAZE
Will-o'-the Wisp Parties Become
Popular in French and Swiss
Smart Society.
PARIS, June is.

In smart French and Swiss society the
latest vogue Is to dine in the dark s.
Dinner begins as usual. but suddenly. to
the surprise OF the guests the light goes
out and all Is left in darkness
Nothing has gone wrong, and before
the guests have recovered from their as
constituent the dining room doors open
and shadowy forms steal in bearing a
blazing mass Of light.
1t Is the next course illuminated.
Silently the figures come to your side
and In few moments on everyone's plate
is, say. your fish, and q acknowledgements
light by which to eat II, but otherwise the
room remains In complete darkness
This new mode was first introduced IN
serving the ice, and with sooseberry Ice,
which is n very fayorite sweet Just now,
the electric lights, shaded With dell
cato green In the shape OF n gooseberry,
are very effective,
The fashion has caught on In the most
amazing way. and some foreign host
essos, who issue their lions, 'Goma
and dine In the dark" arc meeting with
no refusals.
Sometimes every other course Is served
in the dark, and ocraslonally only the Ice.
AT che note! In Lucerne the proprietor
seryes the ices every night In this way.
The utmost excitement prevails when
tho lights in the dining room 80 out, and
sll ewes are strained to see In what quaint
and novel form the illuminated dish will
appear.
Great ingenuity Is shown In the various
designs which are nightly adopted. and
