ALGER'S INSPECTION TOUR

Lexington, Ky, September 21.-A promi- nent gentleman, close to the national ad ministration, says the present tour of in- spection of the southern camps by Secre- tary Alger, Quartermaster-Genera 1.ud- dington and Surgeon-General Stecnbcrg will likely develop numerous charges from regimental and general field officers against both the medical and the quartermasters departments, and especially some comms- saries. The talking was begun here by General Sanger against tts medical depart :nent and by General Wa;tcs against the quaI termasters and it is expected that of fcers at other points will add very mater tally to this testimony before the tour of inspection is completed. Secretary Ager stated that all of this information and all other evidence that he could secure would be presented to the Investigating commits sion at Washington.
 At the conference here last evening be- tween Secretary Alger, General Brecken- ridge, the commander of Camp Hamilton and other officers, General Sanger said that while the division hospital may be e good thing; that as it was conducted it had been a disgrace to the service; that it had de-
 
 caused hardships on the sick who should have had better attention at the proper time.
 Surgeon General Sternberg in reply, in- sisted that all acquisitions had been hon ored in Washington and that any medical men failing to do their duty should be re- ported.
 General Waites told Secretary Alger that the neglect of some quartermasters to fur nish supplies was criminal. While in Chick amauga he frequently made acquisitions which were not honored An imperative order had been sent to have all water boiled. He had made requisition OH Quartermaster General Lee for water boil CTS. No attention was paid to his requisi- tion and after repeatedly urging Quarter master General Lee to send the boilers, tell ing him how the men were contracting ty- phoid fever, he was met with reply which read:
 "The war department does not furnish boilers.'
 General Waites then purchased the boilers himself, but the seeds of typhoid had been sown, and the daily reports showed the list of deaths and of causes in the hospitals Pointing at Quartermaster General Luding ton, General Waites said:
 "These men cannot say it was somebody else's fault It was the fault of Quarter master General Lee and it was the fault of Ouartermaster Ludington who is standing right there."
 Ludngton made no reply to Waites as General Sternberg had done to Sanger.

Paris, September 2L-The papers here say the Minister of War, General Cham oine has examined the documents in the Dreyfus case and has ordered the prose- cution of former Colonel Picauarf ep the charge of forgery and using forged docti- ments.
 The trial of Colonel Picquart and M. Lobois, a lawyer, on the charge of re- vealing documents concerning the national defense was to have begun today before the correctional tribunal The public prose- cutor, however, asked for an adjournment on the ground that the prosecution of Colonel Piquart the charge of forgery and using forged documents had been or dered by the minister of war.
 .. Laboria who was counsel for M. Zola during the latter's famous trial, indignant ly opposed the adjournment, which, he said, was attempt to hand over Colonel Plcquart into the clutches of the military authorities.
 Colonel Picquart then rose and made a. statement which caused a sensation. He said: "This is perhaps, the last time l shall speak in public. l shall sleep, per haps, in the military prison of Cherche Midi. Therefore l wish to declare that 1t I find there the strangling cord of Lemer- cier Picard or the razor of Colonel Henry, it will be murder, for l have no Idea Of committing suicide"
 The audience was intensely moved and shouted "Vive Picquart."
 The judges, however, after a short dellb- eration, decided to indefinitely adjourn the case and Colonel Picquart was led away between policemen.
 Lemercler Picard, the man referred to by colonel Picquart, was a detective under stood to have been employed in the Drey fus affair, who was found hanged in his lodgings about a year ago, under circum- stances which cast some doubt on the theory put forth that he had committed suicide.
