BEFORE THE VERDICT.
NEW TORK, Sept. 9.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Paris says:
Tho verdict of the Rennes courtmar-
tlal was awaited with equal confidence
by both Dreyfusard and antl-Dreyfusards.
Julet, Arthur, Meyer, Cas
sagnac, the Comte de Mun, MUlevoye,
Drumond and Rochefort, who between
them represent the five great political
parties, clericals, nationalists, royal
ists, Imperialists and antl-semltes, now

Vlvanl asserted with equal conviction
that Drtyfu would be acquitted. The
situation waa complicated by the
xTeytunri being divided Into two
literary and professional men who
reoresent the nation s brains.
For all honest Imperial men, the
Dreyfus trial wa settled on August
uth, when General Mercier's elaborate
indictment failed on It own showing
to establish the prisoner' guilt All
the subsequent testimony- produced by
the cabal of ex-minister and leader
of the former general staff wa not
evidence, but Dreyfu baiting, and as
Corneley forcibly came cut in the
Figaro, It Is moostroua to suppose
that the seven Rennes judges, who all
I hlnnr to the scientific branches of
th.r profession are capable of pro-

martial have practically proved to be
an Impossibility.
: The situation wa summed up as fol

the manifestation which will enable the

"The Judicial

numerous errors of procedure and
other irregularltiea already committed
probably the court of revision would
