APPEALS TU SUVEREIGNS. LABORI ASKS THAT ATTACHES BE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY. The Court Refused to no Soâ€"-Secret Docn- moms Again Being Usedâ€"An Exciting Scene In Court. A despatch from Rennes says:â€" Tuesday was a momentous one in the trial of Capt. Dreyfus. The old ques- tion of the secret documents came up, and the fact was brought out that papers had been passed to the courtâ€" martial in this trial without the knowâ€" ledge of the defence. This is a start- ling fact when it is considered that Dreyfus obtained a new trial because he was convicted before on evidence that was communicated in secret to his jud'ges. Possibly, if he is again nonvicted there will be good. grounds for an appeal and another trial. The judges denied the request of M. Labori for permission to call as wit- nesses for Dreyfus military attaches of foreign Governments who, it is al- leged, had bought military secrets from Dreyfus. This is considered a. bad blow for the accused, though M. Labori seems to entertain the hope that he will 'be able to get this evi- ience before the court by summoning the attaches to attend in their person- al capacity. A feature of the session was the eloquent plea of a Senator of France for Dreyfus. It moved the specta- tors to tears, and made an impression upon the judges. :As announced by President Jouaust, the first part of the session of the courtâ€"martial was secret. LABORI’S FORMAL STATEMENT, When the doors were opened for the‘. public session, M. Labori read a brief; statement to the effect that it was‘ the consensus of opinion of the defence} that while they had hitherto not caned‘l foreigners to testify, the Government having set the example, they would{ no longer refrain from domq so. ‘ Then turning to President Jouaust, M. Labori, said: " We know the par- ticularly delicate position of all con- cerned in this matter, but we must ask that you also summon witnesses out- side of France for us. We want Schneider, Schwartzkoprpen, Paniz- zai‘di, and others to proVe directly and emphatically that Dreyfus never had relations with foreign powers, and never communicated to th :m the papers mentioned in the bordereau. " We also ask that the Government secure, through diplomatic channels, doppments bearingron the bordere‘afu." Major Carriere, for the prosecution. protested against the moral and maâ€" terial difficulties of such action, and said it would not assist the defence anyhow. of the morning sitting Was a scene in} which M. Labori, General Billot, Col.‘ Jouaust and Captain Dreyfus particiâ€"‘ plated. Things had progressed quietly and even monotonously up to that time. "La Dame Blanche," with her famous pearls in her ears and around her neck, kept whispering to her comâ€" panion. Others who from the first had taken the keenest interest in every word uttered in the court seemâ€" ed bored, and the intense heat in the room sent several asleep. Suddenly, when General Billet, in low, even tones, again brought out what many deâ€" clared is the General’s last card, name- ly, the complicity of Dreyfus and Ester- hazy, there was a remarkable change of scene. M. Labori, in terrible excite- ment and waving his arms, protested in a ringing voice. Dreyfus, who had been sitting like a statue, also jumped to his feet, despite the restraining hand that a gendarme placed upon his shoulder, and, with his face flaming with passion, said, addressing Colonel Jouaust: " I protest against this odious accusation.” M. Labori at the same time was demanding to be heard, Col- onel Jouaust, equally determined not to hear him, called out “Maitre Labori, I refuse to allow you to speak." When M. Labori finally gave up and sat down he was deathly pale and trembl- ing like a leaf. After some consultation, the judges retired to deliberate on the request. Their decision was awaited with a ten- sion that was painful. When the judges had returned, President Jouaust rose and announced that the court unani- mously refused to grant the defence’s request that the aid of foreigners be invoked. The anhouncement was fol- lowed by a hub-hub in court, which was quickly suppressed, and court was at once adjourned. TH E END NEAR. All the evidence in the Dreyfus case is in, and at the session the prosecutâ€" ing counsel commenced his address. The auditors on leaving the court agreed that :all signs point to the con- demnation of the accused. Acquitt-al, of course, is possible, but would be a surprise. The defence IS plainly dis- ouuraged, and is preparing points on which to make angappeal to the high military court in Paris. The appeal must {be heard within twenty-tour hours after the decision of the court~ martial. If not allowed, the degrada- tion of Dreyfus will follow, as the Govâ€" ernment is reported to be unwilling to again appeal to the Court of Cassaâ€" tion Major Carriere was then called upon to deliver the final speech for the pro- secu'ion, which only lasted an hour and a quarter, and which was generally characterized as a weak oration. His argumvnts, colored by his usual man- nnrums, evoked outbursts ot laughter. He said thht he Considered it to be es- tablished that Dreyfus wrote the bor- dereau. The phrase concerning the CA RRIERE CAUSES LAUGHTER. THE EXCITING TRIAL covering of troops was very signifi- cant, he thought, and he pointed out that Dreyfus could have obtained the firing manual with little difficulty. Moreover, the Major argued, Esterha'zy could not say in August that he, was going to the manoeuvres, while Dreyâ€" fus could have thought so up to August 28. The Government Commissary af- firmed that he himself had noticed the alteration in Dreyfus" handwriting since 1894 in letters which he had writ- ten from Devils Island. Alluding to the secret dossier, the Major said that Esterhazy was not in a position to furnish the interesting information. Discussing the correspondence of "A ' Col. Schwartzkoppen, Major Car- riere declared emphatically his belief that Dreyfus had relations with the power of which “A” was the agent. ’He declared that Esterh-azy said nothing to prove that he was a traitor, and that Picquart had utterly failed to convince him of the innocence of Drey- fus. “My belief in the innocence of Dreyfus," said Major Carriere, in con- clusion, "has been transformed into a conviction of rhis guilt, which has been strengthened by the testimony of the jwitnesses for the prosecution. Toâ€"day. ‘ I come: to tell you on' my soul and conâ€" science Uhat Dreyfus is guilty, and to ask for the application of article 76 of the penal code." I M. DEMANGE SPEAKS. M. Demange stood silent for a mo- ment before he spoke, drawing himself together for the supreme effort of his life. He began by‘ saying he was a Frenchman, and the son of a soldier, "I always had alove for the army of my beloved country," said M. De- mnnge. Here he paused for effect. "Before this case was brought before the Court of Cessation, doubts arose concerning the guilt of Dreyfus. I shared in them. By the time the order for revision brought the case here, these doubts had grown into a positive conviction on my part that the accusâ€" ati’ns against this soldier were Without foundation, and have done a most grevious wrong to an innocent man.” "Recalling the testimony of Detec- tive Cochefort," continued M, De- mange, I"fiud this man was persecutâ€" ed, trapped. and pursued in an endeaâ€" vour to find him guilty. At the time of the dictation test to which he was subjected by Du Paty de Clam,’ a pis- tol was put before him for- an obvious reason. Dreyfus did not use it. Inâ€" stead, he cried: 'I will not die, I am innocent, and I will live to prove it.“ 0n the day after his condemnation he proved the sincerity of his utterance by sending a letter to the War Minisâ€" ter, in which he begged that the truth of his case be sought. SUSTAINED BY A NOBLE PURPOSE. " This purpose and this hope susâ€" tained him through the long years on Devil’s Island, and brings him here to- day when dishonour has been stamped on him before the world and a stigma put upon his name and that of his be- loved wife and children, demanding the stigma be cleared away and the inno- cence of which he has never failed to boaet, be proven before mankind.” Then came a scene which will live forever in the memory of those pre-w sent. M. Demange began reading from letters written by the prisoner while on Devii’s Island. These'were wonderful humin documents. They told of sufferâ€" ing which alternated with hope and deâ€" sp-aif. In them Dreyfus related how he lay in irons, and how the guards, more pitiful than their officers, stole into him during the darkness in order to cleanse with rags the chafed sores upon his wrists and ankles. “Yet through all this ordeal,” said M. Demange, with an eloquence that was now carrying his audience with him, " there was al- ways but one thought with him, “ I am innocent.‘ ’ M. Demange dwelt on the fact that M. Cavaignac had withheld evidence favoring Dreyfus from the court. He controverted the conclusions of Major Carriere, who spoke yesterday for the prosecution, and also those of Mercier, Boisdefire, Gornse, Roget, and Lauth. He dwelt especially on the evidence of Maj-or Cuignet, who had testified ve- hemently his belief in the prisoner’s guilt. Demange related the solemn declarations which had been made by the foreign attaches that they never lfiad dealings in any way with Dreyâ€" us. "Did they say Esterhazy was inno- cent? No,” said M. Demange, "while willing to speak for Dreyfus, they have pointedly refrained from men- tioning Esterhazy. You may draw y0u_r own conclusion." M. Demange then discussed the mural proofs of th-e prisoner’s inno- cenCe, including the f-orgeries of E3- tenhazy- and the late 00]. Sandherr, who sought to malntain his guilt. The Henry forgery and its consequences was alsol dwelt on by theAspefaker. ‘ M. Demange spoke of the Beaureâ€" pair-a witnesses humorously, and tore to shreds the evidence of the Austrian Oennux;ohi.. D REYFUS FOUND GUILTY. The ringing of a bell announced the entry of the judges in the court martial, an officer ordered "Carry armsl” and “Present arms The rat- tle of rifles followed, and then. 001, Jounust marched in, saluted, and laid his kep-i on the table, ' The other judges did likewise, the gendarmes shouted “Silence!” and the silence of death fell on the audience. Col.

The si- ience was immediately broken by a rush of the reporters to drop; their previously prepared telegrams into the M. Demamge scorned fihe idea that Dreyfus was a gambler, and asked the judges to consider the conduct of the accused not as evidence of guilt, but as an example of common, military habits which spelled innocence in Large letbers.

The noise called forth stern cries of "Silence!" "Silencel’ and again all sounds were hushed until 001. Jouaust finished speaking. He concluded by saying the court would remain sitting until the room was cleared. He asked the audi- ence to go out quietly, and not to raise a shout of any sort. The gen- darmes than closed around the audiâ€" ence and pressed them outside . Not a cry or a word was raised by anyone. Everything passed off with complete calm. ‘ THE VERDICT READ TO DREYFUS. As the people emerged the gendarm- es kept them moving away from the court. The small Cl‘OWd of people out- side cheered for the army, but the gemdarmes did not interfere, and there was not the slightest disorder. The Judgment was read to Dreyfus In an adjoining little room by the clerk of the court, M. Coupers. Dreyfus lisâ€" tened impessively, did not give the slightest sign of emotion, did not utter a word, and marched back to prison like an automaton. _It is understood that Dreyfus Will be. sent to Fort Corte, in the Island of Corsica. Interesting Experiments With New Anu- mn- (If “I'Hfrll “'nnMps. A despatoh from London says;â€"In- teresting experiments with a new 'arm- our plate for warships have just been concluded [at Shoeburyness, at the m-sxuiJh of the Thames. The outer plate six inches thick, is made of the best steel, the backing consisting of a spe- cial composition, the nature of which is being kept a secret. New plates were fired at with a 350- pound projectile at a distance of 200 yards. When black powder was used the armour plate was, after Several sthi‘o‘ts, foumd to be practically {uninjurâ€" ed. The shot was in some instances reduced to powder by the eforce of the impact. With cordite it was found that the outer plate could be penetrated three inches, and under certain cirâ€" cumstances the shot went right through, but the severest tests failed to crack the plate. In naval warfare, a hole ,made by a shot below the waterline can always be plugged up, but cracked and split armour plates necessitate dryâ€"docking and new plates. .. ‘ - n w...“ “v .. r_v. -Vvv \Vhen two shots were fired simul- taneously, hitting the plate two 'feet apart, there was still no Sign of' trac- tare. Four Highwaymen Waylald Citizens and ‘ Fired at a Policeman. A despatch from Ottawa says :â€" About two o’clock on Thursday morn- ing Alvin tPeecod was waylaid by four highwaymen at the corner of Pitt and Third street. They stepped from be- hind a high fence and knocked him down with the butt end of a revolver. After searching him they bound Pescod hand and foot, and gagging him with his own hat, carried him into a side street. Another man who happened along was served in the same way. When Officer Lalonde reached the corner the quartette stepped out, and two of them covering him with re- volvers, ordered " Hands up!” The ofâ€" ficer sprang out in the roadway, and the highwaymen fired four shots, none of which took effect. Laionde reâ€" treated down the street, and went af- ter Chief Cameron, but by the time he returned the quartette had made themselves scarce. Last Season's Second Only to That 0 1897. A despatch from Ottawa says :â€"-0fâ€" ficial returns place the salmon pack of British Columbia for the present season at 676,000 cases, which is second only to the phenomenal pack! of 1897, when 1,105,477 cases were put up. The pack am the American side brings the totai output of the Pacific coast up to 1,316,008 cases. Twenty cents per fish was the average price paid to the fishermen by Canadian packers, and 12 cents the average paid by American canners. Train Loaded Wm: Sold'ers and Work men Falls Into a Ravine. A despatch from London, sayszâ€"The Daily Mail’s correspondent at Cairo says advices have been received from Berber on the Nile, near the confluence of the Atbura, that a train returning from Wadyâ€"Halfa with soldiers and workmen for the Albara district fell into a ravine owing to the collapse ofa viaduct, with the result that 24 were killed and 30 others injured. ’l‘he Imposing Headgear of the Brlusll (“lavas ls Doomed. A despvatch from London says :â€"â€"The imposing headgear of the Guards, the classic bearskin is doomed. It appears that gremt difficulty has been exper- ienced of late in keeping up the neces- sary sup-ply of busbies, in consequence of bearskins becoming so scarce, and a committee will shortly meet to con- sider the important question of a new helmet.

A despatch from Toronto says :â€"In1 the midst of the laughing orowds‘ thronging out‘ of the Adelaide street theatres last night, an unknown wo- man drank carbolic acid, and died an hour and a half later. Though probably a dozen people were eyeâ€"witnesses to the act, and hun- dreds more saw the woman, no one knew her, and all enquiries failed to elicit a single fact that might lead to her identification. Several people on Adelaide street between Bay and Yonge streets beâ€" tween nine and eleven o’clock noticed a slim girl clad. in white, passing back and forth, apparently watching for some one near the Toronto Opera house. While her actions were not peculiar, she attracted some attention by her preoccupied air and purposeful gait. Shortly after eleven o’clock she stop~ ped her walk in front of W. Spink’s saloon, and, suddenly putting her hand in her pocket, she drew out: a blue two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid, and raising it to her lips, swallowed the poison. Then she threw the empty vessel on the pavement, and walked on some yards farther. She stagger- ed and leaned against a store front for a moment’ before slowly sinking to the sidewalk. DIED AT THE EMERGENCY. Those who had been watching her had until now seemed paralysed, but at pnce a crowd surrounded the prosâ€" trate form. She was picked up and carried into ’Bingham’s drug store. Dr. Crawford was summoned, and he did all that was possible until the ambuâ€" lance removed{ the patient to the Emer- gency hospital. Here the house sur- geons and Dr. Crawford labored with her for an hour, but at twentyâ€"five minutes to one death relieved the wo- man of her suffering. The suicide was probably about twentyâ€"two years old, fair, slim, and of about the medium height. She wore a white blouse, a white pique skirt, a sailor hat, and a pair of russet shoes. On her breast was a badge consisting of an American flag bearing the let- ters, “ V. R. 0. Y. G. B. 1.,” arranged upon it. Underneath was the motto " Fraternity, Protection and Aid.” The woman’s underclothing which was of a rather cheap variety, bore the marks ‘C., 2103,’ 'C.R., 296.’ Attempt to Rob the. Union Bank Frus- tratedâ€"Tools Left. lielllml. A despatch from Smith s Falls, says: â€"R. Baird. junior clerk, and C‘ John, ston, cashier, of the Union Bank here, who both sleep in the bank, were awak- ened by a noise at the ‘front door. Bath clerks jumped up, and with re- volvers loaded. went to the door and demanded of those outside what they would have. As no answer came, one of the clerks threatened to shoot when the intruders took to their heels and made off. Nothing more was heard of them that night, but an ex- amination in the morning showed Where the attempt had been made to get in. Some iron ‘crowbars, taken from Mr. J. Craines shop. had been wsed to pry open the door, and the latâ€" ter was pretty badly scraped and splintered in the attempt. It was evident there were two in the party. and they had made a search of the tprcmises before tackling the front door. There is no clue as to whom the would-be burglars are.
