The gates,\nhowever, were closed an a matter of\nprecaution aud ouly ticket holders\nwere admitted. The few spectators\nabout the palace were kept moving\nby tho police und inside the building\nmunicipal guards were stationed in all\nthe corridors leading to the court\nroom. Maitre Labordo, who was counsel for M. Zoln, during the latter's famous trial, was seated among the lawyers occupying the flrst row. Madame Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner,\nwas provided with u seat iu a corner\nShe was represented by Maitre\nMoruard. The Dreyfus appeal case\nwas called immediately after the opening of the court. Advocate liard\nopened the proceedings by referring to\nthe excitement and scandals caused by\nthe case, even before the appeal for a\nrevision of the triuljwas lodged. He\nthen reviewed tho history of the case,\nf mm Jthe arrest af Dreyfus, cud said\nhis condemnation was for one of the\ncrimes wliich inspires universal horror, and it struck ono of those in\nwhom the country had tho most confidence.\nContinuing M. Bard, spoko of tho\nefforts mnde to obtain a revision of the\ncase, referred to the denunciation of\nMajor Esterhazy and reviowed Madame Dreyfus appeal for a revision\nof the case. In doing so M. Bard\nsaid Ihis appeal wus based on the assumption that the Bordeerau was written by Major Esterhazy. He then\npointed ont thut there were suspicious\nfacts which justify the request for the\nrevision. Madame Dreyfus contended\nthat hor husband did not write tho\nBordereau, which all the experts reported he did. Tho court, therefore,\nwould have to examine these facts and\ndecide whether a revision was justified.\nM. Bard addod that the appeal for a\nrevision was decided upon in conse-\nqutneo of the lato Lieutouant Colonel Henri's confession, that ho hnd\nforged a document in tho case, but\nM. Bnrd said this forgery was com\nmitted in 1896 and could not be alone\nregarded as ground for a revision for\non ejectment, ot tho judgement rendered in 1894. Nevertheless, M. Bnrd\nthen said Lieutenant Colonel Houri\nhud committed forgery, his evidence\nwas tlie most crushing against Dreyfus and, ho continued, the evidence of\na forger is open to suspicion. There\nwua, therefore, tho presumption of innocence, based upon this fresh fuct\nwhich led to the appeal for u roviBion\nof the caso, and this wus also ground\nto uak whether another new fuct hns\nnot been brought to light and if Dreyfus was really tho author of the Bordereau and note written to Major\nKsterhuzy, and found in the apartment of Mile. Pays, in which the\nwriter naked what he should do ro-\napceting the Bordereau. M. Burd\nnext read Colonel Du Puty Clam's ro\nport of the arreat of Dreyfus, then a\ncaptain of Hie French artillery doing\nstaff duty, in which the colonel auid\nthat Dreyfus, while writing to biB\ndictation \"betrayed inteiiae excitement. \"\n\"But\" M. Bnrd added, amid the\nsurprise of his henrerB, \"photograph\ntaken of this writing docs not give\nthe slightest indication that Dreyfus\nwas laboring uuder excitement, and\nDreyfus,\" M. Burd, said, \"denied to\nOoi. Du Clam, that he ever had relations directly or indirectly with foreign powers. Col. Dn Clam's report\nfurther showed that Dreyfus had to\nwrite incriminating documents in\ndifferent ways, sitting nud standing,\nwith aud without gloves and-with ordinary and broad pointed pons. Later,\nM. Bard cited further facts fnvorablo\nto the revision and expressed aslon\nthat if the Bordereau was the princi\npal factor in the condemnation of\nDreyfus on the testimony of experts,\nhis condemnation ought to be revoked.\nDuring the session of the court of\nanti-revisionist mob, numbering about\n100 people aud headed by M. M. Dru-\nmont, Millevoye and Lasios, shouting\n'Vive l'armeo\" nud \"A mort les\njuifs,\" (Denth to tho Jews) attempted\nto enter the court of cassation, but\nthe pnssage of the mob wns barred by\nthe police and large reinforcements\nwere sent to guard tlie approaches to\nthe court.\nGreat stress was laid by M. Bard on\nColonel Picquart's lettor of July 14,\n1898, to the minister of justice, in\nwhich he gave seven principal arguments against, the probability of the\nguilt of Dreyfus.Including the impossibility of Dreyfus procuring the plans\nof fortresses aud projects for tho\nmovements of the troops undetected,\nwhereas, Major Esterhazy had free access thereto. This letter also cites interviews which Col. Picquart had\nwith Generals Billot and Gonze aud\nsays: \"With the proofs in my bands\nI have established the innocence of\nDreyfus.''\nTo this, General Gonze replied,\naccording to his letter to the minister\nof justice, \"What is it to yon if Dreyfus is on Devil's Island?\"\nColouol Picquart\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" But. he is innocent.\"\nGeneral Gonze\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"Youknow Mercier,\n(former minister of war) and Saucier,\n(former militnry governor of Paris)\nare mixed up in this affair. Do you\nwish to compromise them?\"\nTho letter then continued thnt on\nleaving General Gouzo, Colonel Picquart declared ho was convinced of\nthe innocence of Dreyfus and lie\nproposed to fight the matter out and\nrepeat what he knew. These stato-\nmets upon the part of tho advocate\ncaused a sensation in court.\nAfter further reference to Colonel\nPicquart's charges, that tho minister\nof war and the general stuff hud tampered with the documents and bad\nmanufactured evidence iu the Dreyfus\ncase and a presentation of the contradictory statements of Colonel Picquart\nand tho minister of wnr relative to\nsecret documents snid to have been\ncommunicated to the oonrtmartial, the\nhearing of the case was adjourned till\ntomorrow. The belief is general tonight that the court of cassation will\npronounce neither for revision, nor\nfor annulment of the decision in tbe\nDroyfus ense, as either course would\nentail awkward consequences. To\navoid this it is expected the court\nwill decide, as the affair now presonts\nitself, that there has beon no treason\nnud that theroforo the condemnation\npronounced upon- Cnptnin Dreyfus by\ntho court martial cannot be upheld.\nSECRET OF BRISSON'S DEFEAT\nLoudon, Oct. 28.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTho Paris corre\nspon,lint of the Daily News says :\n\"The Brisson cabinet was overturned ostouaibly because it failed to\nprotect tlio army from slander.

This journal is well\naware that mere Btates that no\njurisdiction in fiscal matters,\nsuch power boiug vested iu the\nadministration at Washington,and the\nparagraph that the Rossland Miner\nquotes from theso columns does not\noonvey nny different meaning. The\nsaying that \"it would not be surprising to find Washington stato going iu\nfor an export duty ou ore\" may convey the idea to dense minds, foriver\nafflicted with incurable obtuseuess\nnot to be eradicted, the impression\nthnt the power of Washington state to\nimpose an export duty is implied, but\nif the Bossland Miner will read the\nmatter over again slowly and carefully\nso as to grasp tho meaning of tho\nBeutonces. it will see if, it wants to\nsee, that no such deduction as it indulges in will apply. If wc should\nsay, as we have frequently said that\nBritish Columbia should go in for\ncertain imposts does that imply thnt\nBritish Columbia has the power to\nimpose tho tux? Scarcely. Yet the\npolemical soul of the Rossland Miuer\nrises an exactly similiar statement.\nFor capacity and ability in getting\nat tho meat of a matter, not the meat\nof the Burns monopoly, the Rossland\nMiner has wou high distinction and\nit is not for us to say a word that\nwould in any way mar that brilliant\nreputation.\t\nTHE PROVINCE IS LIABLE.\nThe posiiton of the reigstrar in regard te settlement of accounts for\nmeals supplied to jurors during the\nsitting of the assize court recently,\ndoes uot seem to be woll taken. It\nappears so fur as the Miner can learn,\nthat the judge instructed Iho sheriff\nto have the meals prepared for tho\njurors at a certain time and that\nthe sheriff, as is liis duty, took tho\nmen to nn adjacent, hotel where the\nmeals were served. The jury was an\nempanelled one and wns part of the\ncourt whether at the hotel during ro-\ncess or locked up in the court room.\nHad tbe meals been served to them in\nthe court room the caso would be the\nsame. These meals ure supposed to be\npaid for and the question arises by\nwhom? Certainly not by the sheriff\nwho acted under instruction from\ntho court. Therefore, the proviuco is\nliable and the province will havo to\npay. The judge who presided ut the\nsittings of the court will so decide\nBhould tbe matter be submitted to\nhim. It iB n very trivial affair and it\nshould have been disposed of at once\nwithout being made a matter for public discussion.\nfound himself in such a position that\nVJry grave consequences hung upon his\ndecision, his political opponents would\neither Btand aloof or indulge in criticism for the purpose of hampering\nhim and weakening his action. If we\nneoded an'instance of these undermining methods of politicians, we bavo\nbut to look at tho covert opposition\nthat beset President McKinley in\ncarrying out tho war witb Spain after\nthe declaration bad been mnde. Many\nefforts were put forth to embarrass\nhim and now political sentiment\nis being agitated against him on the\nground that ho has burdened tbe country with debt. The manly conduct\nof Englishmen as shown in tbeir general flupport of the Salisbury policy in\nEgypt is a lesson to tho politicians of\nthe world. There aro times when, in\nthe public interest, it is ucccssary that\npolitical partios should cohese and\nthis was such a time. It speaks highly |\nfor the character of her public men\nthat Britain should find unanimity of\nopinion aud nn unbroken frout just\nwhen sho needed them.\nPERSONAL MENTION-\nc.\nHill,\nP. Hill,\nIdaho,\nPort\non\nCOMMUNICATIONS.\nTo the Editor of The Miner:\nSir:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI notice a paragraph in today's\nMiner iu whioh Mr. Simpkins states\nthat all nccounts which were preseuted\nto him in tho proper way had been\npaid and that if I had engaged extra\nhelp during the sittings of tbe court\nit was my own lookout to seo that\nthey were paid.\nThis statement is misleading, during the seven years that I have managed this court, witnesses, jury and\nfee business thero bus never been ac-\ncomplaiiit. Tho moment witnesses,\njury, or a special constable was dismissed I paid their fees out of the\nmoney supplied mo by the government\nagent for the purpose, but since the\npaying of witnesses, jurors, etc., has\nbeeu handled by Mr. Bimpkins there\nhas been no end of kicking. Witnesses have been held over, some coming from n distance and when settled\nwith had to run after him and wait\nover for their pay, and accounts like\nthese referred to which were incurred\nby order of the court, and which have\nalways been paid before,Mr. Simpkine\nrefused to pay. And if as yonr article\nstates the government should pay\nthem Mr. Simpkins is the man who\nshould have paid them.\nThe government would certainly not\nobject. I have received nothing so\nfar for my services and I am afraid\nthat it is the registrar's personal ill\nfeeling toward mf that has prompted\nhim to do au injustice to men who\nshould have been paid promptly, to embarrass me in the matter and place the\ngovernment in an unenviable position\nbefore the publie.\nYours truly,\nW.

The lead output of this\nprovince for the year ending December 31, 1897, as given in the report of\nthe minister of mines, was 88,841.35\npounds. Report No. 040 of tho geological survey of Canada, covering the\nsame period, gives tho total product of\nthe Dominion as 119,018,219 pounds.\nOwing to tho existing conditions,\nthe mine owners of this province are\nforoed to seek iu the United .States a\nmarket for tho lead in its raw state,\nunder the present tariff of that country the duty on lead contained in\n\"lead bearing ore of all kinds\" is one\nand a half cent per pound ; where as\nthe duty on lead bullion, or lead in\npigs and bars, and lead iu any form\nnot specially provided for iu tho act,\nis two and buo-eighth cents per pound.\nThis discrimination, brought about\nby the influence of the lend trust, was\noriginally iuteuded to keep out Mexican load British Columbia at that,\ntime exporting little or no lead.\nBut the result of course is to discour-\nago lead smelting in Canada. At\npresent prices the duty on lead bullion, or on lend in pigs and bars, is\nprohibitive, whilo tho duty ou the ore\nplaces Canada nt n great disadvantage in comparison with thc United\nStates.\nThnt duty, as stated, i.s onn and a\nhalf conts per pound ; in reality it is\none and two third cents, as, according to the roport of the British Columbia minister of mines, tho United\nStates smelter \"ouly pays the miner\nfor ninoty per cent (of tho loud. \" The\nmiuer, however, is obliged to send his\nore to the United States smelter because of the discrimination against\nlead bullion. The Canadian industry\nis put at a further disadvantage by\nsection 80 of the United States tariff\nact of 1897, which provides for a ro-\nbate of 99 por cent of the duty of tho\nexportation of the manufactured products of foreign lend.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The practical effect of these conditions in to render lead mining in Canada unproductive ; in fact, the industry would be'eutirely abandoned if it\nwore not for its association with silver. Thus considering the high grade\nof British Columbia silvor-lead ores\nand their enormous deposits, it becomes of the utmost importance for\nsome plan to be devised by means of\nwhich the industry cnn be placed on n\npaying basis.\nAn effort is being made to induce\nthe Canadian govermnont to raise the\nduties ou lead and its manufactures\nto a level with thoso imposod by the\nUnited States, which are from two to\nthree times greater than tho Canadian\nduties. Tne contention is that if this\nwore done the homo inarkot at least\nwould bo secured for the Canndian\nproduct. At present that market is\nsupplied almost entirely from importations. The home consumption of\nlend is about 25,000 tons per annum,\nwhile the total output of thoDoniiuion\nis less than 20,000 tens. Thts the.'e.is\nnow a home market for 5000 Ions more\nthan the country picifinees, while the\nproduction of the couutry is likely to\nincrease far morp rapidly than ils\npowers of consumption.\nit is doutbful, moreover if any duties short of being absolutely prohibitive would enable British Columbia\nload to reach the markets of the eastern provinces, and duties that were prohibitive would partake of the character of retaliation It is not the pres-\nout policy of either the United States\nor the Canadian government to prolong thoir commercial differences. It\nwould not appenr to be expedient.\ntherefore, at this time to retaliate\nby imposing higher duties on lead\nand its products.\nA more neighborly remedy would\nbo lo prevail oh the Americau commissioners at tho Conference to accept au\noffer of reciprocity iu lead. If lead\nand its manufactures were admitted\nfree iuto both countries, the eastern\nprovinces might still depend ou the\nUnited States for a portion of their\nsupplies, but tho removal of tho present discrimination and other disabilities would place tho industry in\nBritish Columbia on a sound and\nprofitable basis.\nFailing a reciprocal arrangenieut,\nor the consent of the American com-\nmisioners to the abolition of the\npresent duties on lead iu ore and lead\nbullion, a third plan might bear dis-\ncusiou.\nIu Ontario and in Lower Canada, the\ngovernment advances money ou creamery products, handles uud sells it,\naud, after the salos are consummated\nthe balance of the price is paid to the\nfarmer less the necessary expenses. A\nsimilar action might be takeu by the\ngovernment in dealing with the load\nindustry. No single individual or\nfirm could afford to store tho* lead,\nand wait for a favorable market. Tho\ngovernment could, and, by operating\non a large scale, expenses would be\nreduced to a minimum. Government\nhelp might also be given to factories\nwho would manufacture the raw produce, and thus, not only v\/ould the\nsmelting industry bo fos.ered and\nCanada's market for lead articles\nsupplied from here, but Canada should\nbeforo very long bo iu a position to\ncompete in tho lend markets of the\nworld wiih the powerful lead trust\nof the United States, a combine, it\nmust be remembered, which now controls tho lead markets of China and\nJapan as well ns those of this continent. \t\nOITY AND VICINITY\nCondensed News ofthe Happenings of the\nWeek In and Around Our Busy\nOity and Kootenay.\nA tenchor has beon engaged and a\nschoolwill bc opened at Cranbrook after\nNov. 1.\nThero wero no cases before Police\nMagistrate Crease's court yesterday afternoon.\nMr. D.
