Yohn 326 Market street. aug9 tf THE nAKRISBUEG TELEGRAPH. AUGUST 14, 1893. 5 THE DREYFUS TRIAL Continued from First Page. ence of General Gonse, who will testify thereto.

It was then that I ordered him to go to the President of the republic." Regarding General Mercier's declarations on Saturday last on the witness stand, M. Casimir Perier said: "General Mercier had no right whatever to intervene in a diplomatic conversation. I would have prevented such interference. It was I alone who conferred with the Minister, and I declare that the fSTpression I derived from that conversation was one of complete calm; otherwise the incident would not have been closed by the framing of a note. We had no telegram from Berlin that evening.

It was in regard to a note the Minister referred to Berlin. If there had been any news in regard to the matter on the evening of the 6th, we would not have waited until the 8th to publish the note. There was not a dispatch addressed to a friendly power relative to the incident. The incident ha3 been magnified. Besides, in the event of diplomatic complications the President would have communicated with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

General Mercier replied that he went to the Elysee Palace as Minister of War. He reiterated that General De Boisdefre could testify in regard to the orders received. M. Demange seized upon this declaration and insisted that General Mercier repeat the statement that he had given orders to General De Boisdefre on the 6th relative to mobilization. M.

Casimir Perier, resuming his testimony, said he did hot desire to reply to certain of General Mercier's insinuations. "I do not wish to answer them," said the former President. "The circumstances are too bad and. too tragic for me to desire to envenom the discussion. I am master of myself and of my conscience.

I would only state that General Mercier has made every effort to mix me as deeply as possible in this affair. But I have remained aloof, I affirm, during the progress of the investigation." The former President then complained of the incorrect behavior of his subordinate toward the Chief of the State. "As an instance," said M. Casimir Perier, "General Mercier undertook to shorten the term of service of 60,000 men without consulting the chief of the state, thus lacking in the respect he owed to the chief of the State." M. Demange asked General Mercier why he had not included in the dossier of 1894 the doubtful translation of the telegram of agent to his government, under the date of November 2d.

In reply General Mercier said riot one of the translations of the telegram was communicated to the judges because there still existed doubts in his mind. M. Demange remarked that the text was communicated lx Sandherr as official, and therefore doubts were impossible. M. Demange then asked, that M.

Paleo logue, of the Foreign Office, be recalled in order to state that only a single version of the telegram, was given him, as he understood General Mercier's uncertainty was aroused by the receipt of a semi official draft of the telegram. At this point, Major Carriere, the representative of the government, aske? that it be clearly shown that two versions of the telegram were given, one official and one semi official. M. Demange said that in communicating the official text November 2d, Sandherr, emphasized its official character. Counsel next asked General Mercier why the explanations of the secret dossier were not included in the dossier relating to the revision.

The General replied that he considered these explanations were given for his personal use and that was why he destroyed the document. At this M. Demange expressed a sense of astonishment and asked General Mercier if he did not have reasons for suppressing the document. The witness repudiated the suggestion. Dreyfus, at this point, rose from his seat and asked leave to explain in regard to the assertion that he had traced on a card the itinerary of a certain journey of the general staff.

Both the itinerary and the journey, he asserted, were purely fictitious. M. Casimir Perier then said he desired to reiterate that he had never promised anything to Dreyfus, adding that It was with M. Waldeck Rosseau alone that he had spoken in regard to th6 condemned man. Therefore M.

Casimir Perier reiterated his protests at the letters of Dreyfus referring to negotiations. General Billot, former Minister of War, was the next witness. He Avas in uniform, sat with crcs'ed legs and gave his evidence in a conversational manner. Ha said he would be 71 years of age to inor row. Like evoijbody else, he added, he had some knowledge of the Dreyfus affair before taking the war portfolio.

While feeling deeply on the subject remained olft from the. matter until he relumed to the Cabinet. General Billot referred to Colonel Pic quart's proposition to entrap Esterhazy, whom he suspected, but General Billot forbade this. He added that Colonel Pic quart always acted without authorization. General Billot referred to the eminent services Colonel rendered.

to the army, leading to his being entrusted with a confidential mission to the East, and afterwards to Tunis. He energetically protested against the. allegation that he had desired to send Colonel Picquart to a place from which he would never return. He explained that his devotion to the country and army and anxiety respecting the secrets of the national defense often entailed exceptional measures, like resignation and going to distant points, whence it was possible to return with a superior rank and where heroism certainly wiped out everything except treason. (Sensation).

M. Demange. invited General Billot to explain the statements of Mm. Barthour and Poincare, former Ministers, that tVie Geenral was once so doubtful of the guilt of Drevfus that he did not sleep for several nights. General Billot acknowledged the statements were true.

There was a. great sensation when M. Demange mentioned the opinion expres ed by M. Barthou that General Billot hal been forewarned in regard to the former of Lieutenant Colonel Henry. The General acknowledged that the Henry forgery was among the factors arousing 'his doubts.

Continuing, General Billot said he was immensely surprised and deeply affected by the revelation of the forgery. He said: "I never could have believed a superior officer could be guilty of forgery." Continuing General Bfiz? M. Cavaignac, former Minister of War was the next witness called. Replying to the president of the court, he said he the first cabinet minister to assume responsibility to Dreyfus. He had closelv followed the inquiry of the Court of Cassation, and still desired to associate himself with the responsibility of those who, in 1804, protected the country and the army against treason.

(Sensation). Continuing, the Avitness said that among the principal points upon which he based his convictions was the confession to Captain Lebrun Renault, in support of which contention he quoted a passage from an alleged letter of Dreyfus, but which in reality was part of General Gonse's report of the Minister of War on Colonel Du Paty de Clam's report of the alleged confession. SATURDAY MGHT'S STORM Wa the Heaviest of the Month A Soo re hp Yesterday. Welcome was the storm that came Saturday night about 9 o'clock and broke the drouth that has been parching the crops all over the country. The storm continued for an hour.

In all .83 inche.s of water fell, it being the hardest rain of the month. The lightning which accompanied the storm did little damage.

The traction company closed traffic during a part of the storm, but before the power Was cut off a number of cars were burned out.

On the Paxtang and Middletown lines wash outs drove mud and gravel over the tracks to the extent that motormen had to clear the rails before proceeding with their cars. Country people state that the roads have been considera.blydamaged and that wash outs were numerous. Mr. Demain, the weather man, said this morning that he thought the hurricane headed in this direction from the West Indies has been switched off and will not hit the coast.

"DAVY" HARTZ INJURED lie Fell from a Latter and Broke Rljrht Ankle. His "Davy" Hartz, employed by William Russ, Market Square, was on his way to the roof of the Russ building to paint it.

He was using a ten foot ladder to get to the trap door and stood it against the closets in the Governor's Troop headquarters. When about seven feet from the floor the ladder slipped and Mr. Hartz was thrown to the floor. He made an effort to light on his feet and in doing so his right ankle turned under him and was broken off, the bones piercing the flesh and protruding on the outside. The ambulance was called and took the unfortunate young man to his home, 319 Strawberry avenue, where an examination was made and every effort will be made to prevent amputation.
