OMAHA, Neb, Aug. cob Gould Schurman, United States Com- missioner to the Philippine Islands, passed through Omaha Saturday evening. Edward Rosewater of the Omaha Bee met Mr. Schurman at the train and in the course of the conversation on Mr. Schurman’s mission to the Orient the Commissioner incidentally discussed matters of a political nature not relating to the business which took him to Manila. W. J. Bryan was billed to speak in Omaha on Saturday evening. This fact led Mr. Schurman to inquire about Mr. Bryan's prospects for a renomination fc the Presidency. He was anxious to know the at- titude of Demo tic leaders toward Mr. Bryan's candidacy, and in con- nection with the subject he imparted important information which may exert some influence upon party leaders who are disposed to doubt the expediency of choosing Mr. Bryan for Democratic standard bearer in 1900. It is well known that Admiral George Dewey is a member of the com- mission of which Mr. Schurman was chairman. Upon the latter's ar- rivai Maniia the two men were in almost daily consultation. Mr. Schurman said to Mr. Rosewater that William R. Hearst, proprietor of the New York Journal, dispatched James Creelman to Manila to tender to Admiral George Dewey the backing of the Journal and the unlimited financial backing of Mr.’ Hearst if the admiral would consent to the use of his name as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Schurman said Admiral Dewey declined the tender and asserted what has already been wired to this country—that he had no political aspirations. Mr. Hearst’s support of Mr. Bryan in 1896 is a matter of record. He flaunted the free silver candidate In the faces of the old school sound-money Democrats of New York and staked the reputation of his newspaper on the Chicago convention. The fact that he contemplates the candidacy of another man for 1900 is significant as indicating the tem- per of Democrats in New York. Admiral Dewey told Mr. Schurman of Mr. Hearst's tender.

In support of this asseriion he mentioned an alleged voluntary statement made by Mathieu Dreyfus, brother of the prisoner, in the | witness' presence, that he had been obliged to pull his brother from the clutches of a woman of this description living near the Champs Elysees. M. Gribelin recapitulated the discovery | of the leakage at military headquarters, the arrival of the bordereau, etc., and dwelt_on the system of espionage con- dueted, under cover of diplomatic im- munity, by Agents A, B and C.

In reply to the usual guestion, Dreyfus id that he never had held any conver- sation with General Sandherr, the Chief of the intelligence department, who was so little acquainted th he once addressed him by another name. Greater interest in the proceedings was manifested when the name of the next witness was announced, former Chief of the Detective Department Cochefort, who was present when Dreyfus underwent the dictation test in Paty de Clam’s office. M. Cochefort declared he knew abso- lutely nothing of the Dreyfus case when the Minister of War, General Mercier, summoned him to confer with him on the subject of the bordereau and the suspi- clons in regard to Dreyfus.

Grib- elin positively asserted that Esterhazy never came to the Intelligence Depart- ment. In regard to the dictation test the witness recalled Dreyfus’ reply to Du Paty de Clam, when the latter pointed out that his hands were shaking, name- ly, “my fingers were cold.” A member of the court-martial referred to M. Gribelin’s statements concerning the use Colonel secret service funds, and the witness ad- mitted the truth of Plequart's evidence that surveillance of Bsterhazy cost but little, Questioned as to alleged indiscretion of Colonel Picquart in showing Maitre Le Blois the secret dossier, witness admitted that when he saw M. Le Blois in Pic- av the secret dossier of the carrier pigeon service was lying on Picquart's table, they had not been removed from the en- velopes. The envelopes, he explained, wre open, but he admitted that that was customary. . When questioned concerning the “lib- erateur” document Gribelin admitted he still wondered how it came inte Ester- hazy's hands, and could not understand why Esterhazy was not arrested when he l‘-{_nught the document to the Ministry of ar. Colonel Jouaust, the other judges, and M. Demange closely questioned M, Gribe- lin on various points, and replying the witness imparted some informatfon re- garding the petit bleu and the circum- anc under which the secret dossier was communicated to Plequart. Replylng to M. Demange, M. Gribelin admitted having mixed up Du Paty de lam's and Henry's intrigues in favor of sterhazy. The admission created a sen- Ation. It was by order of Colonel Henry, wit- s added, he (Gribelin) put on spec- and went to the Rue de Doul to v a_letter, to which the reply ‘‘yes” or ‘“no.” It was also Colonel Henry who ordered wit- ness to accompany Du Paty de Clam to Mount Souris Park at the time De Clam masquere led under a false beard.

He traversed | the ground covered by his evidence be- fore the Criminal Division of the Court of Cassation in regard to the circum- stances under which Henry communicat- ed the bordereau. He said that when the bordereau reached the Intellegence De- | partment Henry was absolutely the only officer who knew the agent who furnished it and was the only officer known to the | agent. Henry, he explained, had appoint- | ments with the foreign spy in question only at & or 9 o'clock at night at the va- | | rious places. So it was impossible for | Henry to hand the papers received to | Colonel ~ Sandherr the same evening. Therefore he took them home and brought them back to the office in the morning. Very often these appointments were kept on Saturday, and Major Lauth believed the packet containing the bor- | dereau was handed to Henry Saturday September 22, and was taken to the office | September 24. “One morning,” said Lauth, “it may have been September 24, or another date. though it cannot matter much, I arrived | at the office and was about to enter the room in which I actualiy work, when Col- | onel Henry, who was walking in the cor- ridor, called to me and took me into his tl room. Captain Mather arrived simulta- | neously. We had scarcely entered when Colonél” Henry showed the packet re- | celved, and exhibiting some pi had | pasted together, said: ‘It is frightful.

We discussed who could be the author. “I must add that M. Gribelin entered | | the room and was informed regarding the document. At the same time the bor- derean was only shown to Colonel Sand- herr half or three-quarters of an hour later, when he arrived. Next discussing the petit bleu. Major Lauth said it reached Colonel Picquart inclosed in a packet, early in March. In. cidentally the witness mentioned the mis N ch Henry went, and ame to the Intelligence Department to for his whereabouts, as she knew nothing of his departure. “It was the same with all officers of the deparimen Said Lauth. “Our famil- ies never Knew where we were going when we were sent on a mission, and it was through the department that they corresponded with us. That proves that things were not conducted jn the Fourth Burcau as alleged by Colonel Picquart, and the officers were not so negligent and carel. he h; asserted.” Witness malintained this also disposed of Picquart’s assertion that Henry was in the habit of working at home in the pres- ence of servants. As a matter of fact, he added, the officers were very reserved lhl‘fl)rfl their families. Continuing, wit- ness proceeded to speak of Picquart's orders to destroy all evidence of the petit bleu having been torn, and to determine the office of origin by affixing a postmark, “The spy Cuers,” said Lauth. “entered into relations with the Ministry of War with the avowed purpose of revenging himself on his Government. He refused to accept payment beyond his fare to Basle. Cuers was evidently an agent rovocateur, who had been sent to us. ut we were never able to get anything of the slightest value from him. It was said,” sald Lauth, “that we bullied him to prevent him from speaking. I wish the erson who made the statement to come ere and repeat it. The truth is we bul- lied him, not to prevent his speaking, but because he refused to say anything which was not known, and that means the same thing.” (Laughter.) Major Lauth's extremely Ionfi tion was listened to in profoun He protested at Picquart's alle against him in the course of the pler inquity, when Picquart repr Lauth as the instigator and perha; the writer of the Henry forgery “T declare,” said Lauth, “that if by in- spiring or writing it I had a share in any way whatever in the perpetration of the Henry forgery I should have avowed it the day Henry committed suicide. I am not even now afraid of the razor nor the rope of Le Mercier-Picquart. nor even of a broken glass omelette.” After controverting further statements of Picquart. Major Lauth, in conclusion, declared that * enr"‘, who knew nobody on the newspapers,” held quite aloof from the ‘‘press campalgn organized in re- sponse to the action taken by the friends of Dreyfus.” Aftor a short adjournment the court re. assembled and the Judges questioned Ma- jor Lauth. They asked his opinion of the chneider letter of November 30, 1897. Wit- ness replied that it was authentic, and emanated from Agent Pierre. Replying to | M. Demange, witness said he never saw the photograph certain newspapers as- serted he took, representing Picquart and Schwarzkoppen strolling arm in arm at Carlsbad. “1 suppose it was I who took it,” the witness added ironically. M. Demange—I do not accuse you. » Af the instance of M. Demange Colonel Picquart again described the alterations of the petit bleu and declared that the last time he saw it, the day before he started on his mission, the petit bleu was still in the same condition as when Major Lauth handed it to him in November, 1897. When Picquart saw it in the posse: deposi- silenice. tions sion of General Pellieux, former Minister of War, it seemed to him that the hand- writing had been somewhat modified, and at the Tavernier inquiry he noticed that alterations of quite a serious character had been made.. Ruled lines had been erased. Moreover, experiments showed he address had been written in ink made ‘f gall nu while a superimposed word was written in_ink made of logwood. Replying to the president of the court, Major Lauth said that when he photo- graphed the petit bleu he-did not notice any sign of erasure. Picquart said the plate taken by M%}m‘ Lauth bore 1o traces of erasure. The photograph alone hau been tampered with. “olonel Jeuaust—Was there amination? i Picquart—Ye: it was a searching in- quiry.
