Remarkable Exhibition the Dreyfus Court Martial. in Labori Works in Vain to Un fold the Huge Con-, spiracy. Court Sides With the Army Officers in Shielding Mercier "Hnring Cross-Examination. - Rennes, Aug. 24. The features of to day's session of the Dreyfus court mar tial ; was $he long expected cross-examination of Mercier by Lrabori. It serv ed only tto demonstrate anew the au dacious policy of the powerful coterie who are reailUy ;on trial -before h The w'orld. Iabori made a gallant and per sistent struggle to bring out the truth of the conspiracy which- sent Dreyfus tto Devil's island and hopes- to r'-tum him thence, but what could any, law yer do to force a witness who takes refuge in silence When hard pressed and whom 'the court encourages in his xecallicitrancy ? It must be confessed ifchat Mercier bore the ordeal better than was expect ed, some1 of his replies scarcelv tp2:ne' anything. Nothing suprises the spectators at this strange trial,-but it ate impossible for American and Englishmen in the audience to realize the seriousness cf the proceedings which permits ali the officers of the general staff who were present to leap to the assistance of itheir comrade who was getting corner ed, and all to harangue the court to gether upon the podnt at issue. 3aius today Generals Gohee ani Ro gett, Major Lauth, Captain Cuignet and others all ran to ithe- platform' and join ed in the-debate when Labari pressed Mercier into a corner and he seemed at loss for an answer, when there was no excuse for silence on the ground of pro fessional secrecy. It is now clear until the end of 'he ial no limit will be placed upon the irrelf-vpnt twaddle which by any con struction creates a bad impression against the prisoner, while all attempts to elucidate-the grave mysteries of the case will' be successfully resisted. Thtts is not being dtone in a manner so outrageously defiant of all principles of jusitiice as at the Zola trial, but none the less it. is being done effectually. The Sun correspondent today asked the defendants lawyers why they bad not seri'ously attacked Muller's iucred ible story. The reply was that the wt ness was either a lunatic or a knave, and it was impc&slible for the judges to attach "the slisrhest importance to his statements. . THE REPORTERS HOAXED. Not' a day passes without its outside p-sroitement. In the midst of dinner to night a paler, pantfng jVechman rushed into the principal hotel shouting that a bomb had exploded at Labori' s house Three hundred newspaper men await ing their dinners immediately left the tables and started for the scene of the reported outrage. Every cab in Rennes was pressed into service. Those who could not secure a calb ran two miles ito Tahari's house un tne bxtoutds. a small army stormed the portals of the residence, and the guards there made a-padv to reoel a mob. It was finally explained that the report was .a noax, whereupon the bedraggiea, perspiring reporters returned to the .Motels. THE COURT MARTIAL Vmitimc. Auer. 24.

As Labori lashed him with poirtted questions the cdftonel (hesitated and an- swereu . in a ShoHL chormv Tnta.nr. J Counsel had drawn, from the colonel the confession (that the secret wdosaier1 was comnrunflcated to the Judge f ? t3ie : court martial of 1894 bjc du Paty. de Clam. . This avowal produced a senlfeu-: tkn ftn court. Mercier them' went on the stand. La bori put a (series of searching questions to him with reference to the communi cation of the secret dossier and Ms at titude in, 1894 and an interesting scene ensued. , The general refused to reply to all the questions and there were sharp pas sages at arms between the counsel and Colonel Jouaust, who uphed the gen? era! and Labori became . Acrimonious. The lawyer made a stroWigE point on the part Esterhazyt playefite jfSKrcfier '.said he did not know Eaeibazy and only, saw mm once at the ZoJa trial. 'That is very interesting," exclaimed Labori, "but surely General Mercier was present alt the Esterhazy trial." The general retried that he was not there and knew nothling about )the evi dence in x the Esterhazy prosecution". "Whatl'V cried Labori; "General Mercier, wtoo was the chief accuser of Dreyfus, did not even follow the pro ceedings in Elsterbazy's prosecution?" A loud murmur of surprise and in dignant comment came from the au dience. '. The counsel then brought General Mercier to the 'assertion that thirty-five million francs were sperit by the de fenders "of Dreyfus and asked the gen eral to tsay how he knew this, who spent it, and other awkward questions, which the general was unable, to an swer. The question as to bow the bordereau arrived at the ofiice of the general staff, led to a strange scene for a court of law. . . " General Roget, on mounting the plat form to give explanation, was follow ed by General de. Bolsdffre, M. Gribe- lin, Major Lauth and other military witnesee, all holding ,up their hands to signify they desired to speak, while at the .same time M. Labori was firing questions. The result was a perfect babel until the president of the' court 'remarked that) the judges could not hear; a .dozen people at the same tlime. General Risbourg recounted what Cantain Renault said about Dreyfus and this brought the latte to- his .fecit with a thrilling declaration. He point ed out that 'the captain shook -M- by $he hand when he returned to the brtof on, wince, a at . variance, i im nj!

Otherwise I cease to understand the matter." A number of other witnesses were heard, including de eBaurepaire's friend Muller, who was responsible for the stsory that he found a marginal note on the subject of the iarrest of Dreyfus on a newspaper in Emperor WlilMam's bad room at Potsdam-. He testified to 4this effect. The coutt adjourned at 11:45 a. m. for the day. GUERIH FAILED TO GET PROMISED RELIEF The Parade of tha Market Men Sid Not Materialize Paris, Aug. 24.

Judge Hilton died thSa afternoon at bis mansion in Wood landiPark. The death was due to hearfe' trouble. The end was painless. His on, Colonel HHton, was at his bee side when ho passed away. Judge Hilton's prominence beyond the circle where his legal talents gave him a reputation, was chfiefly due to his connection with A. T.
