Hknnis Sept 7 Tlio salvation of
Captain Dreyfus hangs on n word from
Kinpcror William It is the genimil
opinion horo if the kaiser consuntH to
allow Colonol Sohwurtzkoppen tho
German military uttacho in Paris in
1814 to testify before tho court mar
tial or send a deposition or what is
considered still more probable to allow
his deposition to bo accompanied by tho
actual documents mentioned in the
bordereau then Dreyfus is saved
If the emperor however decides that
it is not in tho interests of Germany for
Colonel Soli war tzkoppen to intervene
then Dreyfus enso is hopeless and his
condemnation certain Tho eyes of
Prance aro looking across the frontier
to Stuttgart where tho kaiser is stay
ing Ho is in tho position of the spec
tators in a gladiatorial combat in tho
coliseum in ancient Rome with Drey
fus lying at tho foot of his antagonist
and watching whothcr tho emperor
points his thumb up or down Ho has
not yet given a sign either way and
Frenchmen aro waiting with breathless
interest tho first indication of his will
To all interests and purposes Emperor
William stands todny tho arbiter of tho
internal poaco of Franco for every who
anticipates that King Humbert will
follow his lead This is probably tho
explanation of tho delay
Yesterdays public proceedings woro
marked by threo important episodes
Tho ilrst was General Zurliudens ad
mission that tho erasure and restitution
of Estorlmzys name in tho potifr bleu
could not havo been perpetrated by Col
onol Picquart and consequently must
be attributed to some one inside the
general stuff Tho second was the
declaration by M Paleloguo that tho
secret dossier contained a document
which showed that Colonel Schwartz
koppen admitted his rolations with
Estcrhazy and that Schwartzkoppon in
tho opinion of Paleloguo sent to Estor
hajiy the identical petit bleu for which
Colonel Picquart was detained 10
mouths on a charge of forgery The
third was General Billots broad insinu
ation that Esterhazy and Gupttiu Drey
fus wero accomplices which led to an
impassioned protest on tho part of the
accused
Tho great event of the sitting was the
battle royal between Labori and Jouaust
over certain questions which tho advo
cate wished to put to General Billot
M Labori lost control of himself under
the influence of his deep feeling of in
dignation and his belief that Colonol
lmiiiltLf ntic 1 1 1 linmi f il i iTiKfirimr lutti
nuuuuil l ua utiimiuiiij fifHH
in tho interest of tho military cliquo
His voice which at first resounded
through the court room became choked
with emotion Tho spectators held
their breath as ho retorted defiantly to
Colonel Jouausts rofusul to put the
questions his words drowning Touausts
voice in an irresistiblo torrent whose
force was heightened by his passionate
gestures

gcr publishes an iuterviow with Colonel
Schwartzkoppon which is believed to
define Germanys policy toward the
Dreyfus affair When asked whether
ho would go to Rennes Colonel
Schwartzkoppon curtly replied No
I do not think the emperor will permit
me to make a statement Have we not
already adopted a lino of conduct in tho
matter We havo done so twice First
our ambassador to Franco declared that
ve had nothing to do with the affair
Then Count Von Buelow German min

statement plainly and distinctly in tho
