Rennes, Sept. 2.— Dreyfus had the most trying day he has yet gone through. The strain proved too great, for him and for the second time in the course of tiie trail he gave way to his feelings and sought relief in |tears. Tiie geneinls have branded him as a traitor before the court, their subord­ inates have (minted the linger of scorn at him. But he only once flinebed— when the official repott of his treat­ ment on D evil’s island was read before him ami the piotine, of his sufferings, mental and physical, was th-own vivid­ ly on the screen of his metuorr. Then he hid his features and wept. He passed through another such orisis today, when, after Captain Le­ h i un-Renault and witness after witness had (nought before him that cold Jan­ uary morning which ushered in the scene of his degradation. Major For­ senetti, a man of heart, told in simple words and unaffected manner the story of Dreyfus’ struggle with the madden­ ing temptation to take his life and the intervention of his wife, as an angel, pointing out the toad of duty. Then again the prisonei’s breast heaved with emotion and teardrops trickled down his cheeks. He rose, ami after a foiced effort to remain calm as he spoke a few words concerning his denial to Colonel Patty (la Clam that he wrote the boidereau, lie tam ed to Forsenetti, with a look of thanks for his cousola- tion so needed.

Captain Lehrnn-Kenault intro­ duced the new assertion that the fact that he had not related tl.e incident of the confession to President Caaimir- Perier was because he oveiheatd him ­ self called “ canaille,” “ cur,” and ‘traitor,” while waiting at the Elysee. He, however, could not explain why he kept this to himself for so long s time instead of r«>cotiuting the incident be­ fore the conrt of cassation.

The Pacific Northwest is a region of rich resources and it produces food ma­ terial, clothing material and building material that anv section of this great country may well he proud of. Its producing capacity is as yet in its in­ fancy. and theie is great development to come. In order that the products of the Pa­ cific Nortiiwest may he seen and ex­ amined by the general public, a com­ mittee of Portland’s enterprising busi­ ness men get together every year and organize the Oregon Industrial Exposi­ tion. These men meet every week for months ptevious to the exposition and petfurm an immense amount of wdrk in the way of preliminary arrange­ ments. They appoint sulicoiiiui ittee* to attend to all the details. Titey raise by the voluntary subsetiption of Port­ land business men a guaiantee fund of about $12,000 to pay the ex,«uses of the exposition. The committee collects a large aiuonnt of specimens of the products of the Nortiiwest and arranges them into an attractive exhibition at the great exposition (raiding. Tiiere are grains and glasses in the sheaf, grain ready for milling, grain re-luced to flour. Theie is wool as it «xitnes from the sheep’s hack; stxiuied, and in the goods.

Theie are fish, full-grown sal­ mon, and salmon eggs from which young salmon are being hatched ont, in plain sight of the public. Fruit and vegetables and the daily interests aie all tepresenttid, and manufacturing enterprises show what tiiey aie doing in the Northwest, many of them hav­ ing actual working plants in tiie great machinery ball of the ex,io»ition build­ ing. It takes brains, executive ability and much money to organize and success­ fully conduct a great exposition such as Portland presents to the people, and among the enterprising business men wiio are the active spirits iu the affair and compose the ex,io8ition gen- eial committee are: H.

People who attend the Portland fair not only see all the products of th* Northwest, but also meet thousand* of people and pass pleasant afternoons and evenings in which instruction ia mingled with healthful amusement.

The company will engage in the construc­ tion, equipment, operation and man­ agement of a main line of railway and telegiaph aud telephone lines and of steam and electrio lines. The line which this company proposes to n- struct will pass through one ol the richest agricultural districts of the W illamette valley and will opeu vast tracts of virgin forest to the lumlrer- men, bringing a wealth of lumber within easy reach of the market.

For the month thus far, the daily average of payments is 26.3 per cent larger than last year aud 66 per cent larger than in 1892. Iron works which supply Pittsburg are sold up far into 1900, and can do nothing, though prices much beyond what they received are paid by those who must have iron this year.
