CAUSED BY A WEIGHT. 1 Collapse of Chicago Coliseum baid to Be Vue to 1 bis. Snirching investigation made Wednesday probably establishes the cause of the • olhipw of the twelve giant steel arches

for the Chicago Coliseum, killing ten laboring nu n ami injuring a score of oth- | ers. A bias xveight upon two arches at the extreme north end of the structure where the trusses first gave way is regarded as the cause of the awful accident. A Chicago dispatch says that experts who searched the ruins discovered tour large chains attached to these two arches. I rotn tasm were suspended two-inch ropes, running through a pulley, and the , former wound around a cross section of i heavy iron tinilu r. The jarring of the J hoisting engme and the attempt (fither to

hoist or lower this beam is said to have brought down the two steel arches and they in turn caused the collapse of all the remaining steel framework.

ASSUMES NEW PHASE. DREYFUS CASE NEARS INTERNATIONAL DANGER LINE. Lnliori Makes a Startling Mov? by Ke* questing the Court to Call Foreign Diplomats uo Witnesses A Reputed ticion of Servian Royalty Testifies. Monday’s session of the Dreyfus court martial opened rather badly for Captain Dreyfus, as a ciirprise was sprung upon the deteuse in the advent of an Austrian political refugee, Eugene Cernuschi, who came out with a tint footed denunciation ot the accused, which, even though it may eventually In- proved a pure fairy tale, is bound for the moment to exercise a malignant influence upon the French people. Cernuschi, as soon as ho had delivered his testimony am! Labori had asked to have him put on oath behind closed doors in order that he might be punished. if guilty ot perjury, left the court room and was not seen again. Ceruusehi’s testimony, which was in the form of a letter io the president of the court martial. Col. Jouaust, was most nnequivucal. He claimed that n three distinct occasions, twice in France and once in Geneva, he was told by a higli-placed toroirn oitjeer that Dreyfus had communicated ireasomthie documents to a for'■iixn power. in t1,.. imnl ^Lcg^^« nusehi said that ihe oUicer showed him . documents emanating from Dreyfus and that this officer left France hurriedly two days prior to the arrest of Captain Dreyfus. Ihe allusion was evidently to Col. Schwartzkoppen, the military attache of the German embassy in Paris in 1894, 1 whose movements were coincident with । those described as the movements of the officer of Cernnschi's dejiosition. 1 he introduction of a foreigner as a witne^ tor the prosecution gave Labori an opportunity to submit the most important request he has made throughout the > trial. Labori announced his intention, in , view of the step taken by the prosigmtion , in calling foreign evidence, to ask that inquiry should p : . made through the regular diplomatic channels as to whether the do aments mentiomsl in the bordereau were actually communicated, ami, if so, by whom. This involves an application to the German Government. The application would mean the lengthening of the trial for several weeks. A Vienna dispatch asserts that Eugene Cernuschi, who testified at the Dreyfus coart martial at Rennes, France, is not connected with the Servian royal family, as claimed. His real name is Haducek. He is very eccentric and some doctors have pronounced him a lunatic. M. Labori Tuesday demanded that the court summon Col. Schneider. Col. S hw artzkoppen. Col. Panizzardi and other foreigners to testify for the defense and prove directly that Dreyfus had never had relations with foreign powers. The fact was also brought out that documents hnd been communicated to the president id’ the court without the knowledge of the defense. M. Labori made n strong protest, asserting that the great error of the first court martial was being committed over again. The first part of Tuesday's session of the court martial was secret. When theg^ doors were opened for the public session, M. Labori read a brief statement to the effect that it was the consensus of opinion of the defense that while they had h 'SMn not called foreigners to testify/ o t; vernment having set the example iht-v would n<> hiee-w—jl! b °‘ ./ ■ I hen, returning to President Jouaust, Labori said: "We know the particularly delicate position of all concerned iu this matter, but we must ask that you also summon witnesses outside of France for us. We want Schneider, Schwartzkoppen, Panizzanli and others to prove directly and emphatically that Dreyfus never had relations with foreign powers and never communicated to them the pieces mentioned in the bordereau. "We also ask that the Government secure through diplomatic channels documents bearing on the bordereau.” Maj. Carriere for the prosecution protested against the moral and material difficulties of such action, and said it would not assist the defense anyhow. President Jouaust reserved his decision.

The court martial Tuesday heard the complete story of Esterhazy's confession from the lips of Reporter Bassett, who was sent by the Paris Matin to London for the purpose of securing the interview. The witness testified to the al- ' ready familiar story of how and why the bordereau was written by the man now in , exile. Esterhazy was quoted as saying that he was ordered to commit the crime by Col. Sandherr. This brought a protest in most theatrical style from Maj. Carriere, the Government commissary. “I protest.” he cried, "in the name and memory of Col. Sandherr, against the insinuations introduced against him.” M. Labori, however, ignored this protest, which he styled "a ridiculous pretension.” FRANCE FEARS RIOTS | i Dreyfus Verdict Ie Expected to Cause Disorder. A< the end of the Dreyfus court martial trial comes within sight the French Gov- , ; nient is beginning to display a fear that the verdict may give rise to troubles orders have just been received by 1 <>m cav- . w ithin hail of ■ - in r,-idiness n 1 ’ . i!ii- town at the first sign cf d:> rder, t - <x apt all strategical points and to re, . ss manifestations in their inceptrnn. The anti-Dreyfus organs, by their antiforeign articles, have already singled out foreigners as enemies of the country, and there is little doubt that foreign journalists will Ite the first victims of the violence of the mob—not so much AngloSaxons as Austrian, German and Russian Jews, who form a majority of the press representation of their respective countries.
