Paty de Clam Will Escape a Cross Examina tion. uoionei uoraier Te3tines in Behalf of the Pris oner. Yesterday was a Day of Comedy in the Drama at Reanes De Frey cinet Reveals no Secrets. ; Rennes, Aug-. 29. There were touches of light comedy Sin (the Dreyfus trial to (day, which, though sometimes inap Iproprialte, afforded not an unwelcome relief. Even sensational evidence of intrigue and a rapid succession of startling incidents had become monot onous, and a touch of fun,, however forced, served to restore (the mental equilibrium. So, at least, every one in the court room, including 'the unfortu nate Dreyfus 'himself, found it during the threeshours that Colonel Cordier held ithe pla'tform. The evidence of ex-Minister of War De Preycinet, which the public expect ed would prove dramatic and sensa tional, was c'hiefly remarkable for what it did not contain. It was practically null and void. Outside the count' room, however, the air is still nried with rumors about a crisis in the situation which everybody believes is close ait hand. One of the most persistent rumors is to the effect that there is a division among the group of generals which Will soon be come an open rupture. It is known since the Henry forgery and suicide General Boisdeffre has taken no ac tiive part with Mercier and Roget and the, others who are so- frantically.; seek-, ing to bftock the course of Justice. He scarcely conceals his disapproval of fheir pollicy and his personal.' relations with them have recently become strained. It is. now assented 'that since Captain Freystaeter gave testimony Saturday it has been with the greatest difficulty thatJ General Boisdeffre has been restrained from returning to the stand and championing the cause of Dreyfus. General Gonse alone of Bois- deffre's old associates had sufficient in fluence to prevent him from following the dictates of his conscience and sep arating himself from 'these defenders of the "honor of the army." It is regarded as unfortunate that du Paty de Clam's deposition will be taken without any representative oi the defense being present. The Figaro today asserts the contrary, but this is a mistake. Du Paty de Clam will es cape all cross examination. COURT MARTIAL. Rennes, Aug. 29. General Mercier and most of 'the other generals interest ed in the case were present in the court hall this morning when the court mar tial opened. 'Colonel Cordier, deputy chief of the (intelligence department under the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, and who since his previous appearance in court fhas been released' by the minister of war from the oath of profe rrpv. was the first witness The wit- ness deposed strongly in favor oi Drey fus and was most amusing in deliver ing 'his testimony. He kepc the court in roars, of laughter by his comical wit ticisms. He several times mentioned the ambassador of Germany, which caused the president of the court to intervene and tell the witness he must not introduce the ambassador's name. The hasty .corcctions of the witness when he was repealing the same slips of tongue and the amusing manner in which he avoided mentioning Germans at other times caused the greatest mer riment. Major Lauth confronted tmonei or dier and stated he was incorrect oovirur thpre -were no ani! Semites in cn the general staff since Cordier himself If your eyes give , you . trouble, don't wait for them to got better of them selves, but come to us and, let us fit you With proper, glasses. ;Tiour eye, sight once ;ruin)ed cam never be recovered, Don't trifle with to important a mat ter; it's mo trouble to weiar glasses if ltiiley are 'rightly made, and to many: people they toe very becoming. Examination free. ' , Believing! was one. The colonel retorted, .turning ! as he cried, "Quite fane. I uas an. ABtisJ Semite but I never bore false' witness against the Jew. I am an honlfet man." This evidence was applauded. Geneva! Roget next conf fonted Omcn- el Cordier. The general assumed the wne supercilious air which ctajacter- zed him when he appeared at the wit ness bar, strutting about the stage in disdainful attitudes. His evidence. however, was not very striiinsr , ivor was Chat of Colonel Fleur, t,r Archivist Gribelin, who also contested' the m'nor points of CordSer's deposition. Finally General Mercier confronted Colonel Cordier. The general's remarks were of small importance, the mist in teresting' toeing a repetition of Colonel oaninerr's opinion or Mathieu Dreyfus when the prisoner's brother went to s?e the colonel to ask for justice in behalf of Captain Dreyfus. Mercier admitted that Sandherr said, "Mathieu Dreyfus impressed me as an honest man who was prepared to make many sacrifices rto save Ms brother." M. de Freydinet, former minister of war, former minister of foreign stffairs and premier followed Colonel Cordier on the -witness stand. The court room was packed. Evidently the public was anxious to see the former minister at the witness bar. De Freycinet began by expressing the pain experienced at the troubles his country was undergo ing. JUater he said the remembered a conversation. wUifch General Jamont, at which there Was reference to money coming from abroad in support of the Dreyfus agitation. De Freycinet deliv ered a patriotic speech! rather than a deposition, concluding with the words, "All tfche world will accept your verdict, which will open an era of reconcilia tion." ' GUERIH SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SURRENDERING. "Why He Has Some Sympathy People Leaving Paris in Fear of Trouble. Paris, Aug. 29. The blockade of the headquarters of the anti-Semite league continues. Guerin stMl maintains h':e defiant attitude. Nothing worthy of note occurred today. The reported death in Guerfiai's (house ihas no confirmation, unfless it be ob tained from' the .odors now rising from the lndlosure. They are elimply un bearable and the neighboring houses are being watered With disinfectants by order of the government. 'It is reported the London hotels are full of Parisians desirous of escaping the troubles of the capiltai , Guerin miay "be trieid by the govern- ment for attempt at assassination on ! account or ms urawing a weapon on a police agent '-The;' reason , why.;; Guerin Jlnd nticjt&pry is entirely vouitside hia wEld teafching of 'deatih to the Jews,' but on account of the growing disgust in France for the police raids, Hillegail atrreste and illegal seizures of papers. The French are slowly growing away from the idea itihat a sitate reason is a sufficient excuse to practice flagrant il degalities, not only in the Dreyfus case, but an any kind of affair the police may choose lt)o select. One serious piece of news after an other comes quickly from the French colonies demonstrating the absolute chaos created by such administrations as those of Lebon and Guifllan. They left the colonies full! of revolts, mur ders, corruption and slavery. The stor ies all make sensational reading. Guil Qan's system in Madagascar, whlich be came so tainted during his governor ship, is being rapidly corrected by his successor, Who has muc'h native dis content to deal! With, and the ultimate pacification of the country is still a long ways off. j Chanoine and Voulet are in a state of rebellion, but the two officers may yet found an empire which the European powers might one day have to recog nize. It lis eviident if the two rebellious officers carry out their treat and estab lish a kingdom1 in Africa of their own they would find plenty of French ad venturers of the De Mores-Guerin type to come and share it with them, to say nothing of Italian and Prussian out laws. A good many men who are re garded as shady in France would be glad to play a role in (the new em pire. The government has no intention of overlooking any recent offenses and will undoubtedly bring suit against the Libre Parole, Le Solir and L'lntran 'sigeaint for their effort to stir up a re bellion.. k The reception of Henry Lavedan into the Acadamie Francaise has been de layed for three months and the elec tions to vacandies caused by deaths have been deferred until next year on account of the unsettled condition in France. ...Oakland Heights ASHEVILLE, N.

J. R. M'LEAN'S MAN IS SET ASIDF. Norton Defeated for Chair manship of the Ohio Convention. Zanesville, O., Aug. 29. The 'city i crowded with democrats in atendance on the conventinafa which meets tomor row. A canvass of the situation late to night leaves little doubt that McLean will be nominaitied. The committee cm permanent organization tonight, how ever, rejected Congressman Norton as permanent chairman, of the convention. This was a decided surprise, inasmuch as Norton is one of McLean's most ac tive agents. He was also slated for the place and even had his speech pre pared.

The feeding lis general amoner the officers that 'the insurrection will be suppressed before the beginning of the next rainy season.
