New Witness Yesterday Seems to Have Changed the Situation "If Prisoner Did Not Write Bordereau He is Still a Traitor." Seems to be Theory Judges Must Now Work On The Result of Care . fully Planned Scheme. Rennes, Sept. 4. The surprise of the day in the Dreyfus court martial was the deposition of Eugene CerJuschi, the new vodunteer witness, who describes himself as a political refugee and a de scendant of the Servian royal family. His deposition amounts to this: That, in June, 1894, he ijecame ac quainted with Colonel Schneider, the Austrian military attache in "Paris, who, at the first meeting, volunteered the information that Dreyfus and three other officers of the French army, whom the witness has not yet named, were a band of traitors who systemati cally supplied the embassies with all the military secrets of France. A month later according to the witness, Colonel Schneider opened envelopes in his pres ence and took therefrom plans for the mobilization of the French army, at same time explaining that "tfhey came from Dreyfus. The witnessjadded that he told the story to a Frenh agent af ter Dreyfus had been 'arrested, and signed a statement .which wa3 reduced to writing. He further said this state ment should now be" on government file. When the court recovered its breach J :"rrbori passionaitely demanded What the government should" request Austria and the other pQsjvem to furnish evi dence confirming or denying these ter rific allegations, and in the name of eternal justice, to at once for all itime let 'full, liprht on this affair. There was no response to this appeal. A little later came another surprise. This was the announcement by one of ithe headquarters underiiegs that there was etill another secret dossier at the war office, ,of which nobody had heard before. Labori promptly uemanded that this be produced, and later in the day the court acquiesced, ordering a- 'secret session for tthe purptfse tomorrow. Such was the situation after.a day full of dramatic events when an ad journment" was reached, and such is. the situation which aroused Rennes to a pitch f .emotion which seems to threaten the sanity of some persons. It should be said at the outset, examin ing this sensational development, that had it occurred in the normal trial, it would be a matter of trifling import ance. v The first expectation which came from Paris this afternoon might prob a'bly have heen true, namely, that 'the volunteer witness is a lunatic. There is no oorrohoration of this explanation however. On the contrary there are in dications thait this desperate move of Dreyfus' enemies was carefully planned It is learned Chat the first outline story as sent' to Colonel Jouaust, president of the count martial, in Au gust; also ithat all mem bens of the: court were acquainted with the story. Cernuschi will specify the three al leged accomplices at iflhe secret session tomorrow.' It is easy to guess that Es terhazy and Weill will: he named as Dreyfus' companion in guilt. ; The proposition, nowi definitely before the court i.that even if Dreyfus did nott write 'the bordereau he is still a traitor, and the judges must deal with this theory instead of taking refuge in an acquittal r'pn ithe bordereau alone. Calm judgment and a peaceful solution of ithe problem how appears to he sim ply' impossible . It might almost 'be said that the verdict of the court mar tial is no longer of much cocsequencs1, Pso faT as 'public opinion is concerned, It will settle nothing beyond ithe cus tody of the prisoner's body and it will Comfort Glasses. ' Glasses are a necessity with, advane ing yeans.

This was officially denied later. THE COURT MARTIAL. Rennes, Sept. 4. The court martial of Dreyfus began today with .the larg est attendance yet seen at the Lycee. Interest grows as. the denouement ap proaches. Six, txnten days are given as the outside limit.for the duration of the trial. The first witness was M. Cernuschi. His letter to Colonel Jouaust, offering testimony, stated that having been mixed up in the political troubles in Austria-Hungary, he sought refuge in France, where he had a friend. The friend told him that certain foreign agents in France might denounce him. Another foreign officer similarly warned him . One day, the witness said, when visiting the latter, he saw ihim take from his pocket a volum.inous packet containing military documents. The officer said in France one could buy any thing, aa. in g 'Hv hat is v good of Jews if you don't use 'then??'' Major Carriere asked the court to hold further examination of the witness behind closed doors' m view of the diplomatic side of the testimony. ' The second witness called was M. Andre, clerk to M. BertilTus, judge of the court of cassation, who received the confession of the late Lieutenant Co lonel Henry. Andre . deposed that he overheard Henry exclaim: "Don't in sist, I beg. you. The honor of the ar my must be savd before everything." The next witness was Mathematician M. Painleve, who foegan by earing Ber tillon's sjtetem of argument to pieces. Painleve referred' to the evidence be fore the count of cassation and pro tested against the version given ' by General Gonse of the conversation, with M. Hadanrarde. "Never," explained Painleve, "dld-Hadamarde doubt the. innocence of his cousin." General Gonse mounted the stage. He insinu ated .that the faith of Hadamarde and Painleve in . the innocence of Dreyfus had been strengthened recently. Painleve- replied warmly. The two men then ' went at it hammer and tongs, Painleve facing General Gonee with his arms folded, and thrust home wilh questions and retorts until General Gonz became red in the face. Genefi. Roget joined in the discussion. - -J Labori began the cross examination ofjGofez regarding a certain documert in the dossier sa-wiiicrt oonz njifiiT&a, but which"' had not been submitted., to the court.. Labori not receiving satis- factory answers and finding Colonel Jouaust declined to allow him to pre?re the matter, became extremely indis- j nant and protested with ' considerable warmth against Jouaust's veto of the questions. This causod a rcene be tween Jouaust and Labori. Finally ihe latter asked why certain despatches from the French ambassador at Rome relative to the payment of money to Esterhazy by an Italian agent had not been included in the1 secret dossier presented to the court. General Gonse replied that he had not considered the despatch of sufficient importance to be included in the secret dossier. Jouaust again refused to allow some of Labori's questions. , .Labori fuming with ingination was obliged to submit. He afeked Genera Gonse who compiled the secret dossier. "I did," shouted Commandant Cuignet from the body of the hall. Commandant Cuignet came to 'the bar and declared he had 'omitted all the documents Jjrom abroad "because foreign1- .were Inter ested in . driving us." Commandant Cuignet added another despatch exist ed, relating to a conversation between a foreign sovereign and a French mil itary attache in the course pf which the sovereign said: "What is now oc curring in France is proof of the pow er of the Jews." This despatch was also omitted from the secret dossier. The question, of the report drawn up by Cuignet and the witness dealing ex haustively with the secret dossier was introduced and General Bilot arose to explain. "I gave this report,"- he said, "to , Cavaignac, former mini-ster of waf- "When?" said Labori, "Let us have Cavaignac'c explanation of what became of the report." Jouaust called for Cavaignac, but- the former minister of war was1 not in the court room. The court adjourned after the testi mony of a couple of. minor witnesses was heard. .

He said in part: "Today the world is making it- f.gbt for financial and industrial, freedom, and again we &ee the government, the commercial interests and the powerful influence of society in oppookion and striving to defeat the new movement.

ALTGELD. mental ownership of foads gives the people the carrying service for but lit tle more than half what private owner ship charges. The great trusts and monopolies levy tribute upon every man, woman and child in the land to satisfy greed, while the great mass of the people must sell their products in the world's competitive markets. "You ask,. 'Can these monopolies be destroyed?' I answer 'No.' Most of them cannot be. destroyed. Concentra tion and monopoly can greatly cheap en production, and if tthe people at large got the benefit of it then con-' centraion and monopoly would 8horten the hours of labor and advance civiliz ation. They would improve xne conui- tfon of all men and of all women. The trouble now is . that the benents or. cheapened production do not go to the people, but go into the pockets of a' few greedy men.
