to be divided. One faction desires the
restoration of the Queen, while the other
accepts the new order of affairs. and asks

commissioners. The memorial alleges
that the annexation treaty has failed, and
the joint resolution is ineffective because

The memorial concludes by asking that
the constitutional government of Jan is.

tnry-COl. PicqunrCs Statement.
Paris. Sept. 21.-The papers here say the
minister of war, Gen. Chanoine, has ex-
amined the documents in the Dreyfus
case and has ordered the prosecution OF
former Col. Picquart, on the charge OF
forgery and using forged documents.
The trial of Col. Picquart and M. I.e-
Blois, lawyer, on the charge OF reveal
ing documents concerning the national de-
fense, was to have begun to-day before
the correctional tribunal. The public
prosecutor, however, asked for an ad-
journment, on the ground that the prose-
cution of Col Picquart on the charge of
forgery and using forged documents has
been ordered by the minister of war.
M. Labori, who was counsel for NJ Zola
during the latter's famous trial, indig-
nantly opposed the adjournment, which.
he said, was an attempt to hand over Col.
Picquart into the clutches of the military
authorities.
Col Picquart then rose and made a
statement which caused a sensation He
said:
This is, perhaps, the last time I shall
speak In public. l shall sleep, perhaps,
in the military prison of Cherche Midi
Therefore, l wish to declare that If / find
there the strangling cord of Lemercier
Picard, or the razor of Col. Henry, 1t will
be murder for have no idea of commit
ting suicide"
The audience was intensely moved and
shouted: "Vive Picquartr
The judges, however after a short de-
liberation, decided to indefinitely adjourn
the case, and Col. Picquart was led away
between policemen.
Lemercier Picard, the man referred to
by Col. Picquart was a detective under
stood to have been employed in the Drey-
fus affair, who was found hanging In his
lodgings about year ago under circum-
stances which cast some doubt upon the
theory put forward that he committed sui
eide.

lermaster's departments, and especially
against some commissaries.
The talking was begun here by Gen.
sanger against the medical department mt and
py Gen. Waites against the quartermas-

Under Gen. wilson's Command.
Lexington, Ky, Sept. 21.-Gen. BreckIn-
ridge, who is in command of Camp Ham
hton here. and Surgeon General Stern
berg, had a long conference just before
the Surgeon General left here with Secre-
tary Alger. Gen. Breckenridge wanted to
know just who had the right to command
the hospital surgeons. He said at Chick
amauga these individuals were a sort of
'do-as-you-please" fellows, under no.
body's command.
Gen. Wilson had requested certain
things to be done in the hospitals at
Chickamauga, and no attention had been
given his demands Investigation, Gen.
Brecklnridge said, showed that the sur
geons considered themselves subject only
to the orders of Gen. Sternberg.
Gen. Breckinridge said he found the
same trouble at Camp Hamilton and he
wanted to have distinct understanding
regarding the matter. Gen. Sternberg
said that the surgeons at Chckamauga
We're subject to the orders of Gen. Wilson
and that the general should have found
this out. If he saw his orders were not
obeyed, he should have found the reason
for such disobedience and had the matter
settled at once. Gen. Breckinridge said
the same was the case right here and he
wanted Gen. Sternberg to inform Gen.
Sanger that he was the proper person to
command the surgeons.
