KISSED OFF THE STAGE.
Governor PinGree Not Allowed to Finish
His Address to the G. A. r.


His Address to the G. A. r,
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 9.-At a
Grand Army campfire in Music hall
last night, Governor Pingree of Mich
igan was hooted and Missed off the
stage because it was believed he was
about to criticise Secretary Alger.
The three words, "If Secretary AL
ger" had left wrong impression.
The audience interpreted these three
words to be the beginning of strain
of censure and criticism, and
absolutely refused to let the
speaker proceed. Governor Pingree
continued his efforts to resume, but
this only infamed the audience
more, and soon shouts of "Amen, p"
''Take him off," "We don't want
to hear him." and the like
were heard throughout the hall.
Chairman Melish made repeated futile
attempts to quell the disturbance, but
those who started the racket persisted
in keeping it up. The governor then
retired
After the governor had left and
quiet had been restored, Chairman
Melish finished the sentence which
the audience had refused to permit
Governor Pingree to read:
"If Secretary Alger had been given
full power such things would never
have happened.'
The transformation of the audience
was then humiliatingly complete to
all who were present. The Kisses of
derision were turned into cheers
and repeated calls for Governor Pin
gree, but he had left the hall and
refused to return. Chairman Melish,
in very appropriate speech, ex
pressed his regrets for the misunder-
standing and proceeded with the pro-
gram.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The correspon-

COLONEL HENRY.

It is pointed out that a revision must
be sanctioned by a cabinet council, un-
der the presidency of NJ. Faure. No
such council has been held as yet, but
NJ CaVaignac, the minister of war; CON
ferred at great length yesterday with
NJ. Sarrien, the minister of justice, and
NJ. Brisson, president of the council
and minister of the Interior The pre-
sumption is that these conferences had
to do with the proposal of revision, but
the results have not been made public.
High officers confess that the discus
sions that will follow revision will
probably entail war, but they say that
would be preferable to having the army
remain under a cloud, with a possibll-
itie of agitation leading to civil strife.
NJ. Lasles, member Of the chamber
Of deputies, had an interview yester-
day with the minister for war on the
recent developments In the Dreyfus
case. The minister reiterated that he
was convinced Of the guilt of the pris-
oner but added that at the same time
he was determined to punish all who
had been derelict in their duty
The deputy afterwards declared that
so long as NJ Cavaignac was minister
for war there would be no revision of
the Dreyfus case, adding that, as in the
event Of a revision the trial could not
again be held behind closed doors, and
II would be impossible to produce pub
licly some of the documents, the &C
quittal of Dreyfus must certainly re-
suit from reOpSning Of the case.
1t was announced yesterday after
noon by The Patrie that several Of
ficers of the general staff have decided
to resign shortly and divulge all they
know of the entire Dreyfus affair. One
officer declares that war Will inevitably
follow as result of the revelations
which will be made regarding the
Vaccinations of another government.
1t Is now said that the chamber OF
deputies Will not assemble until Octo-
her by which time II IS hoped the storm

THE WOES OF FRANCE.
Dreyfus Scandal May Precipitate
Aas Another War. .J.
NJ. OAVAIGNAO A VERY BUSY MAN

The Events Following Lieutenant
Henry's suicide Keeps the French
War Minister at worlS-IIo Reitcr-
ntes His Belief in Dreyfus' Guilt.
Paris, Sept. 3-The events following
the suicide of Lieutenant Colonel Henry
have caused a most pesslmistic feeling
throughout France. 1t Is the common
belief that Great Britain and Russia
are on the eve Of war and that the con-
sequences Of the Dreyfus scandal Will
Involve France in war with Germany.
The government is doing its best to
stem the tide of agitation by a studied
quiescence which scandallzes the Jour
nal Des Debats and other papers, but
1t may succeed In getting over the
crisis M. Faure ignores the reproaches
Of the press and remains at Havre. M.
Bourgeois, minister of education, Is in
Switzerland. His address is not known
here. M. Peytral, minister of finance, is
at Marseilles, and M. Lockroy, minister
Of marine, is at Cherbourg.
In the meantime NJ. Cavaignac, min
lister of war, and NJ Sarren, minister
Of justice, are busy enough. NJ Sarrien
had two prolonged conferences with M.
Brisson yesterday afternoon and after
M. Cavagnac's long interview with M.
Sarrien both ministers looked rufied.
These and other impromptu ministerial
conferences were devoted to an endeav-
or to convince the minister for war of
the necessity on political grounds of
revision of the Dreyfus case, which the
whole country, including the army,
now
