THE pIcaUAHr CASE.
by the Vote in the senate There Will
De No Postponcment.

Paris. December 1.-The senate this
afternoon adopted the motion of NJ. Con-
STAINS. placing courtmartial under the OPP
Grafton of the law of 1897. which abolished
the secret examination of accused persons
prior to the trial.
An anne ndment proposing to retain Sc
cret examination in cases involving Ma
tlonai danger WAS opposed by the minister
Of war. NJ. De Freycnet, and rejected.
M. Waldeck- Rosseau demanded urgency
1or a proposal 10 empower the court Of
cessation to order the stay of any prose-
cutlon calculated TO hamper revision
cause.
There were 113 for and 113 against the
motion for urgency. which was therefore
lost. The tie voting results in the measure
being referred TO a special committee so
that 1t can not be pasEei soon enough 10
apply TO the Picquart case.
Legal opinion leads 10 the view that NJ
Dupuy was mistaken yesterday in deolar-
ing btat the court of cessation had power
to delay tho Picquart courtmartial and
it was ON the theory that the premier had
erred that M. Waldeck- ROsseau introduced
his bill.
The conversion of NJ. Herve. editor of
lie Soleil, the royalist organ, to the Pic
quart case, today caused "a great sensa-
ton.

Under such circumstances, and consid-
