INSIDE HISTORY OF THE FRENCH cRIs1s-FA-
voRABLB TO REVISION.
London. Oct. 2s-'rhe Paris correspondent OF
The Daily News" says
The Brisson Cabinet was overturned osten-
sibly because 1t failed to protect the army from
slander The zeal facts are that the Ministers
constantly but vainly urged the slandered stan
officers to take proceedings against their SIAN
derers General Mercier. General Zurlinden ana
General Chanone all declined to assist the
Government to vindicate the armys honor on
the plea that it was useless TO proceed against
filthy newspaper rags.
General Chanoines resignation was timed 10
prevent the civil power getting hold of the
Dreyfus dosser 1t calculated that II he
went out. slamming the door. the Government
would be beaten by Parliament, afraid OF haV-
ing the army and the people against IT, The
coup was fixed for to-day Thursday; but NJ.
Deroulede's sting provoked Chanoine to pre-
cipitate the matter.
However, the desired object has been accom-
plshed NJ Brisson was unable during the sus
pension Of the sitting of the Chamber on Tues
day to obtain NJ. Faure's signature for the NOM
ination Of a new Minister for War. Had he sue

army Of the Empire He is a sOn-in-laW Of
General FrOissart the late Prince Imperial's
tutor NJ. Brisson probably chose him for the
War portfolio because he was on excellent terms
with the Russian Court and the General French
Staff.
The Court Of Cessation seldom draws
women. To-day 'Gyp' and many other richly
dressed women were there. The sitting Of the
court resembles a chapter meeting in a cathe
dral where passions can have no place, as they
have In other courts. Neverthelcss. NJ. Bard's
report was listened to with breathless interest,
and child could understand IT, There were
no legal teChncalites. the facts were allowed
to sneak for themselves. No conclusion was
suc ,ested; but there were conclusions to which
one could not help coming NJ. Rard's report
cannot be otherwise than favorable to Drey-
