Ex- amination of the seoret espionage dossier mentioned by Captalu • Cuianet during Monday's sitting occuplea the greater" portion of yesterday's seoret session of the court,, When the open session of the cournmeatial began M. Labori presented a formal application to tho court for an order upon Major °eerier% the Govern - talent commissary, to request that inter- ested foreign governments, tarough " diplematio channels, communioate to the court various doomnents relating to the bordereau. AL Labor' explained the purposeoftlae applioation by citing the fact that the court wasnow th an extremely delloate situation, and added that he had pointed out to Major Carrier° Colonel Schwartz- koppen and Signor Paniziardi as mit- nesses be deemed necessary to suninaon. M. Labori saida he thought this step would worry nobody and that it was in conformity with precedents. Carriere's Reply. Major earriere replied that he did not think the Government would ask another government for the restoration of dam - meats, He suggested that the defence) should obtain and submit the papers semi -officially to the court. He saw no objection to hearing Colonel Schwartz- koppen and Signor Panizzardi if tbei'' consented to mine. M. Paleologne said ,that while ;..t. Laborite request appeared quite logioel and just, there vvere diplomatic consid- erations which made it inadmissible foe the Government to take such initiative as was proposed by counsel for the de- fence. A Reporter's Testimony, Colonel Jouaust said the court would decide the matter later, and meanwhile proceeded with the taking of evidence, The first witness w.ho was called to the bar yesterday was the reporter, 'Basset, whom The Matin sent to London to interview Major Count Ferdinand Welsin Esterhazy. The witness deposed that Esterhazy confessed to him that he wrote the bordereau under orders from Colonel Sandherr, who was then thief of the Secret Intelligence Bureau. The order. Esterbeay Baia, was to catch the traitor at the headquarters of the general staff, whom Estethazy afterwards said was Captain Dreyfus. Major Carrier° here burst out with an extraordinary protest against Major Esterbazy's ipsinuetions against Colonel Sandhera peatest," he eriad, "in the name and memory of Colonel. Sandherr against the insinuations introduced against him." A Ridiculous Pretention. M. Labori, however, ignored this pro- test, whiela he styled "a ridiculous pre- tention." M. Labori then called upon General Beget to testify regerding letters he bad received from Major Esterhazy since the openingof the triaL General Beget yesterday looked the, glaoet of his former active self. His face was careworn and showed little of that fighting s,pirit whioh first characterized his appearance upon the stage. He replied that he only opened one letter from Major Esterhazy, which he had forwarded to Colonel Jou- aust. General Beget added that he de- clined to receive other letters, The Letters Were Read. M. Labori then asked Colonel Jouaust to have the letters read. Colonel jouaust at first declined, but M. Labori insisted so firmly.that Colonel joua.ust; after wrangling awhile, gave way and. consented tha the letters should be read. Colonel jouawit ae-plaiaed that be opposed tbe reading of the letters be- cause they only contained personal at- tacks upon Various parties and would only lead to a prolongation of the trial.. General Beget then read the one Ester - hazy letter which be admitted having opened. In this letter Major Esterhazy said be court' not prove the existence 61 the alleged syndicate organized IR the interest of Dreyfus, and complained that the general staff had refused to give him a fair bearing. M. Labori then put ae series of ques- tions intended to bring alit the fact that the general staff bad rnade use of Major Esterhazy, even after he was known to be unreliable, .peneial Roget said he had tat considered Major Esterhazy's avowals to be of any value. Labori sought to question the Gera eral more closely on his statement that none of tbe generale of the general staff had any relations with Major Esterhazy, but Colene1 Jouaust declined to allatv further discussion. Another Scene° This led to another scene between the president of the court-martial and counsei for tbe defence, M. Labori delaring that General Beget, who came more as a pub- lic prosecntor than as a witness, refused to reply to probing questions. A unee later M. Labori pusbed the question on General Billet, on what le known as the liberating document.

Trarieux is an excellent speaker, with a good presence. He has iron -grey hair and least:who, ancl a clear,' resonant -voice, wbich could be beard outside the court room. M. Tarrieux's deposition olosed the public sessiou. He made a very telling speech, describing how his orig- inal belief in the guilt of Dreyfus was 11x.st shaken, and then completely changed to sionvietion of iiinooeneeaby subsequent developments and the noble cop:emit of° M. SOtteurer-Kestner, fornierlY vioeVosi- dent of the Senate. The letters exchanged betweeu General Gonse and Lieut. -001. ?legume also strengthened his conviction. M, Trarieux spoke of the machinations against Picquaaa, aud said he teemed nobody. He believed, however, that the chiefs were deceived. M. Trarieux re- countecl a conversation with a foreign ambassador, who deolared, in a tone of great sincerity, that preyfus had never had relations with him Or with any °facer of his country, while, the arnba.ssa- doradded, he poseessed doomnents prov- ing the guilt of Major Eeterhazy. . An Impressive Passage. M, Trarieux delivered'a very impres- sive passage, recalling, the exocutien on the . oharge of treason of the English' admiral, Byng, who was afterwards found to have, been unjustly condemned. M. Trarieux said that Frenchmen might well dread to have such a bloosIstain upon their jestery, as the execution of Admiral Byng mars the history of Eng- land. M. Trarieux saia that General Beget and Captain Ouigetet veere 'wrong in the conolusion that they bad drawn flamalie coriespandence of agents "A" anti "B" that Dreyfus was guilty. 'He reiterated that the ambassador to whom he had previously referred- had olaimed that Major Esterhazy was the traitor; and the former Minister of Justice 'de- clared In an enaphatio tone, and made a deep impression upon his hearers, that no parallel ought to be drawn between a model officer like Dreyfus and Major Esterhazy, who had not even the soul of a Prenchman. Carrier° Interrupted. M. Trarieux, on alluding to the border - eau, was interrupted by Major Carrier% who said that while he opposed direot °facial application to' foreign govern- ments, yet, if be a side wind the docm- ments mentioned in the borclereau could be prooured, be certainly would be per- sonally- much pleased. This is practically an invitation to Germany to eolunteer to communicate the documents in question. At the conclusion �f M. Trarieux's testimony, which was a veritable speech for the defence, and which, apparently," made an impression upon the judges, the courtenartial went behind closed dqors and examined the secret espionage dos- sier. Laborl's Request Refused., The court also deliberated upon M. La,bori's request that application be made to Germany for the docuinents clesoribed ita the bordereau. The decision was unan- imously reached to reject the application, on the ground that thee -court was incom- petent to invite the Government to take diplomatic steps to obtain the documents In question. It was also -decided to hear M. Cernusehi behind olosededoers to -day. TzetronenY LINE AGREED O. Modus Vivendi in the Natter of the Canada -Alaska Boundary. Washington, Sept. 6. -Great Britain and the United States have praotically agreed upon a temporary line defining the boundary between Alaska and Can- ada.
