Some Dramatic and Per national Vtf'- • tnree of the Evidence. Dramatic, and sensational as was Thursday's session of the Dreyfns coort- pac^ial, it yielded less substantial advan­ tage to thq defense than the friends of troth and justice anticipated. The politi- cal character of the trial was strongly emphasised. For the first time the court Itself directly intervened to shield and protect the military witnesses. The re­ frain so familiar at the Zola trial, "this qaestion will not be put," was frequently heard during Labori's attempt to cross- examine Mercier, the chief of the con­ spirators. Besides, many of the ques­ tions which eoaasel did put and which the; court could not decently rule out as irrelevant Mercier simply declined to an­ swer- With an unprejudiced court a few ses­ sions, like that of Thursday would mean a verdict of not guilty. The testimony of such witnesses as Mercier is evidently valueless, for only their illegal refusal to answer proper questions saves them from disgrace and exposure. But there seems no reason for believing that the court has any conception of law, evi­ dence or justice, that it is able and will­ ing to distinguish between the suspicions and opinions of mighty "champions of the army" and actual, valid and proper testimony. All that Labori succeeded ia showing was that Mercier was intriguing with Paty de Clam on the very eve of the present trial, that he inserted an alleged incriminating document in the secret dos­ sier which he had illegally held aud that he had tried to prevent the defease from knowing its contents. This document Col. Jouiiust was forced to rule out. Ail the rest of the scathing cross-examina­ tion related to the trial of 1894, now known to have been • flagrantly lawless and unfair, tind had no bearing on the question under inquiry except as tending to prove the existence of prejudice and conspiracy. At the opening of Friday's aeesian of the yoQurt-martial, a doctor's oertificate to the effect that it WAS impossible for Du Paty de Clam to be present was read. M. Labori asked the court that an official physician be sent to examine De Clam, but Col. Jouaust refused Rowland Strong, Facia correspondent •f the London Observer, and the only English witness to testify before the court, was the first witness called on Friday." He was resplendent in red whis­ kers and London clothes. Strong told how he tried to buy Bsterhazy's confes­ sion for publication, and that Esterhaey had admitted he wrote the bordereau. When Esterhazy quitted prison he told Strong several times that he would tell all and that it would ruin De Clam and all those who had abandoned him. Strong said Esterhazy impre&sed him as being a thorough crook and swindler. M. Gobert, handwriting expert of the Bank of Frtince, was called. Gobert told how he was originally called by the war office to examine the bordereau. After comparing it with specimens of Dreyfus' handwriting he declared that from first to last it was not the work of accused. Gen. Gonse was called to confront the witness. Gonse said that Gobert was wrong in the details of his testimony, whereupon the expert earnestly demon­ strated the correctness of all he had said. Gonse retired discomfited, but insinuated that Dreyfus had known the witness in the bank. ' Dreyfus denied emphatically that he had ever known Gobert. The rest of the day's session was given over to the testimony of M. Bertillon, head of the anthropometric department of the Paris police, and who maintains that he has proved Dr«yrfua was the au­ thor of the bordereau. Bertillon came into cowt accompanied by four soldiers carrying chants, portfo­ lios, compasses, logarithm tables, photo­ graphs, etc., which looked like proper­ ties ia a comic opera- The audience burst into laughter at the sight. The judges themselves looked dismayed as the procession approached the platform, and all those in the court who did not baVc to be there lied from the roviii. l.he rush for the doors was noted by Bertil­ lon, who remarked that it took intelli­ gent people to understand what he going, to denupistrata. <« After arrpngiug Ms paraphernalia about him ^ JSsblcs and chairs, the wit­ ness bej^nrhjHrtating that the iwrdereau had beear pcedsuoed jjte Jpreps of na­ ture, but that abra<'bodg, n>MMK ^ave writ­ ten it. This was given in Epe manner of a man announcing a great discovery. M. Bertillon continued by declaring that the bordereau had been traced by Dreyfus, who had cleverly imitated his" own hand­ writing. Then Bertillon proceeded to give the exact measurement of each pen stroke, and showed the "court s large diagram resembling the plan of a fort­ ress. • This he claimed proved-mathematicaliy that I>reyfHS was gwilty. The witness stopped constantly to untie packages and surround with a. mysterious ap­ paratus to the increased bewilderment of his auditors. Bertillon proceeded to demonstrate his whole system, which, with its ratios and angles, was under­ stood by IM» one in the court. The table in front of the witness was filled with charts which came iaexhaustively from numerous pouches. Bertillon s exhibi­ tion discredited the whole expert sys­ tem. His reasoning was based on taking as n fact some charge against Dreyfus which was unsupported by evidlence and then arguing in a circle until he reached the starting point. His methods seemed to impress weak-minded people that something was being proved. Bertillon's testimony wss ttot yfreg qourt adjoorned. •: ; WILL HOLD THE PHILIPPINES. ..........

The chief interest cen­ tered in his remarks regarding the Phil­ ippines, which he declared must after the establishment of peace be under the con­ trol of the United States. The President Baid: "I believe that there Is more love for our country and that more people love the flag than ever before. Wherever that flag is raised it stands not for despotism and oppression, but for liberty, opportu­ nity and humanity and what that flag has done for us we want it to do for all people and all lands, which by the for­ tunes of war have come within its juris­ diction. "That flag does not stand for one thing in the United States and another in Porto Rico and the Philippines. There has been some doubt in some quarters re* specting the policy of the Government In the Philippines. I see no harm in stat­ ing it in this presence. Peace first, then with charity for all establish a govern­ ment of law and order, protecting life and property and occupation for the well- being of the people who will participate in it under the Stars aad Stripes." The President and Mrs. McKinley, with Vice-President and Mrs. Hob art, Garret A.

Of. these operations the press corre­ spondent was permitted to send only an Inadequate dispatch, dictated verbatim by Major Geneval Otis. The censor writes stereotyped official phrases and adjectives into the dispatches, tending to magnify the opposition. General Otis says newspapers are not public institu­ tions, but private enterprises, and the correspondents aye only here on suffer- ance. The American troopa have been with­ drawn from all that part of the country which was half cleared of rebels in the expedition of the Americans in June last. The rebels have returned to San Mateo* which .was abandoned for the third time after its recent capture. •(RAMS** BOERS PEFY CRITMN. Military Is to Hole Johanneslm» a is the Case of Hostilities.

On July 24, 1886, a great hailstorm swept over Minnesota and North Dakota, wiping out nearly 8,000 acres of wheat and doing immense damage in other ways. Some of the hail stones were as big as hen's eggs. The biggest hail stones on record, however, fell at Whitehall, 111., in 1881. They were as big as goose eggs and drifts ten and twelve inches deep were found the day after the storm. In August, 1883, hailstones measuring thirteen inches in circumference fell and at Dubuque, Iowa, in 1882, monster hail stones weighing two pounds were picked up. Secretary Alger is not the first cabinet officer who found his position difficult. President Jackson removed William J. Duane, his Secretary of the Treasury, be­ cause he refused to sign an order to re­ move the United States deposits from the United States banks. With Duane went the Attorney General, John McP. Berrien, and the Secretary of the Navy, John Branch. In 1841 every member of President Tyler's cabinet resigned, ex­ cept Daniel Webster, the Secretary of State. In 1892 Janles G. Blaine resign­ ed from the cabinet of President Harri­ son, just before the meeting of the Na­ tional Republican convention in Minne­ apolis. The West Indies, which have been de­ vastated by a cyclone, are peculiarly lia­ ble to such" visitations. In 1880 nearly the whole island of Jamaica was devas­ tated, hundreds of buildings being de­ stroyed and twelve lives lost. In October, 1882, a hurricane crossed Cuba, killing forty .people and thousands of cattle. In 1888 a cyclone killed 1,000 peoule in Cuba.

In Kansas no one seems to desire the nomination. Kansas, Pennsylvania and South Dakota have Congressmen representing the State at large, the Legislature having failed to make a reapportionment of the State ainee the census of 1890. The position is unpopular, because there is no patronage, and there Is no chance of continuity in office, as the, territory is ilikely to be di­ vided into districts at any time.

The expenditures during last month were 150,581,090, as against $74,268,475 for July, 1898. The receipts last month from customs were $16,971,454; internal reve­ nue, $28,322,574; miscellaneous, $2,760,- 229. This is an increase as compared with July, 1898, of about $1,800,000 from customs, $2,200,000 from internal reve­ nue, and about $254,000 from miscella­ neous sources. The expenditures on ac­ count of the War Department last month were $194291,080, against $34,774,153 for July, 1898, and for the navy, $5,090,245 against $8,514,279 for July, 1898.
