STEPHENS WON'T GUST BELL
Governor Tanner, of Illinois, Plainly
Intimates That This Ought
to he Done.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Nov. Ex-Governor
Tanner to-day sent Governor Stephens, of
Missouri. the telegram received by him the
other day from General Bell, adjutant gen.
eral Of Missouri, and president of the Aso-
citation of Adjutant Generals of the United
States, suggesting that Governor Tanner
allow Adjutant General Reece, Of Illinois,
to settle the labor troubles of the state.
Accompanying the telegram of General
Bell Governor Tanner sent the following
note to Governor Stephens: IT inclose you
a telegram which explains itself The only
suggestion l can make is that. If the ad-
jutant general OF Illinois should send such
a telegram to the governor of Missouri, I
should remove him from office.
JEFFERSON CITY. MO, Nov. 25.-Gov-
ernor Stephens returned to-day from Boom
Vile. where he went to spend Thanksgv-
ing day with relatives. He found the letter
of Governor Tanner. inclosing the tele-
grams of Adjutant General Bell to him
which he CTanner) considered impertinent.
Governor Stephens, however, takes an
entirely different view. He stated that he
did not think Adjutant General Bell intenG-
ed to insult Governor Tanner at all; he
simply sent the kilograms in an attempt TO
aid his friend, the adjutant general of ILL
nois. and he tStephens) was sure he did
not mean to be impertinent. He said he
would take no further notice of the mat
ter. except TO write Governor Tanner to the
above effect

NEW STORM IN PARIS.
Even II Greater Commotion
Than the Dreyfus Affair."

PARIS. Nov. 2o.-The Picquart case seems
in the way OF raising even greater storm
than the Dreyfus affair The papers favor
able to the general staff are. dumb in the
face of the barefaced decision of the mill
tary governor of Paris, General Zurlinden
to Try Colonel Picquart by court-martial:
while those favoring revision are furious
at this new attempt to defeat justice, and
protest against the court-martial being or
dered.
Nobody believes that Colonel Picquart is
guilty of any crime except 4 courageous
desire to render justice to Dreyfus, but on
all sides it is recognized that, in u practi-
cally secret trial, he may be condemned on
some technicality. thus attaining the ap
parent object, which is to throw doubt upon
his depositions before the court of cassa-
tion in the Dreyfus trial.
Everyone is asking the motive of General
Zurlinden in so persistently pursuing Col
onel Picauart. and why court-martia1, if
necessary. could not be postponed until the
decision of the court of cessation has been
given. Everyone is asking whether it is a
desperate attempt to shield the former
minister of war. General Mercier. and the
general staff. even at the risk of precip
itating disaster and the nations hatred.
and. in any event, OF driving every doubt
ing person into the Dreyfusite party.
~ protest against the court-mdrtldf OF
Picquart, bearing the signatures of lead
ing authors. politicians and journalists, is
being widely circulated for further names,
and will be presented to the government.
This evening it is reported that NJ. De
Freycinet, minister for war, has consented
to be interpellated on the subject in the
chamber of deputies next Monday, when
sensational scene may be expected.
Another feature Of the case Is the tor
rent of hostile criticism now poured upon
NJ. De Freycinet, who is accused of quail
ing before General Zurlinden and the gen.
eral staff.
NJ. Labori. Colonel Picquart's counsel,
says he is convinced it will be impossible
to condemn Picquart on the charge of
forgery. but that the accused officer may
possibly be condemned on the charge Of
communicating secret documents, al
though their communication was in no way
inimiCal to the interests of the state
Colonel PicQuart continued mis- evidence
before the court of cessation throughout
the whole day. and his deposition is ex-
pected to occupy several days more. There
Is still some hope that he may receive
justice. owing to the presence on the
court-martial of Colonel Bonnal who is {:
great friend of Picquart. but NJ Clemen-
ceau, in Aurore. declares that the court
martial is packed and accuses NJ De
Freycinet of allowing an innocent man to
be victimiZed in order to increase his own
chances at the next presidential election
