Great in. totes: has been aroused by tho ar- rival at [tonnes of Max Home, the tor. lner Mayor of Algiers, and a notor- ious Jew halter. Dreyfus listened to the oration of M. Demange with a mark of impass- ihi.ity resembling his frozen attitude during the first days ot the trial. Whatever the prisoner‘s feelings were as he heard M. Demange pleading for his liberty he carefully concealed them. M. Demange was still speaking at one o'clook, and he announced that he woi.d need another two hours and a halt to finish his plea, so the court adjourned until seven-thirty to-mor- row morning, thus fixing the opening at the court on Saturday, an hour later than usual. The tact that Maltre Labori has to 'speak, and that prob- ably the Government Commissary, Major Carrion, will reply. make it practically certain that the verdict will not be given bctore Monday. .

Mereier'a change of front on this subject. In 1894 the gen- eral contended that it was in refer- ence to the commands of these troops that the leakage occurred, while he , now asserted that it was regarding the mobilization and transport of the , troops. Continuing to plead with l great warmth and eloquence and with I clear. closely reasoned arguments, which were followed with breathless Interest by the entire audience, M. Demange declared he did not believe in the complicity of Henry and Ester- hazy, for Henry was honorable and loyal. It he had been the accomplice of Esterhazy, Henry would have des- troyed the bordereau. Possibly Henry had inadvertently divulged informa- tion to Esterhazy, under the impres- sion that he was conversing with an honorable, straightforward man like himself, and, discovering that he had placed his hand in a tral- tor's, he committed a crime upon which counsel declined to nnlargr, since the perpetrator had alrvmly paid for it with his life.

Mr. Lewis is here to press the claims for compensation to the American min. ers who were evicted in the Atlin district of the Northwest Territories by the Canadian Government. The matter ot the American miners' claims against Canada has already been taken up, but no action will be taken until the arrival of Sir Louis Henry Davies, the Canadian Minister ot Ma.

The greatest dangers the Brit’sll contemplate facing. apart from the L'oors' steady hands and Mauser rules, are climate and the scarcity of ammu- nition. owing to the difficulties of transport.

Before the main British body of troops arrives it is thought poh'- sibie the Boers may score some de- cided successes, and that even after being overcome by the force of super- ior numbers, they may continue the war in gueri'rla tashion for many months. But conservative opinion places six months as the outside limit for the capture of Johannesburg and Pretoria. ' Though mobilization has never bean a strong feature in the British army, it is now believed its system fis as near perfection as possible, and has been prepared. The Commander-in- Ihiet, Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, Sir Evelyn Wood, Gen. Sir Redvers Buller and other generals have been working strenuously on it for months. Many new features have been intro- duced, several of them being based on the lessons learned by the American troops in the war with Spain. Among the latteris the extreme usefulness of mules in such a country as the Trans- vaal. The British officers who haw been in the United States, Spain and South America selecting bunches of these animals, have now been ordered to purchase and ship the muhs as quickly as possible to the scene of the probable hostilities.
