days article concerns the resignation

M. Hanotaux. General Mercier, Cen
eral Boisdcffre, Colonel Schwarzkoppen
Count Esterhazy and the late Henri
Sandherr. Beside the French minis
ters, others had the dossier in their
hands.

Of the Dreyfus affair which Count Won
Munster sent by the usual courier to
the kaiser was Intercepted and pho

Count Won Munster made this demand

Casimir-Perier was overwhelmed with
the suddenness of the revelation, and
was beside himself In an extraordi-
nary scene he gave his word of honor
regulating all connection with or
knowledge of the affair, and solemnIy
promised to prevent a repetition of it.
Count Won Munster was satisfied,
and sent a second report of this in

faction was given for this new insult.
"A dramatic scene followed. Count Won
Munster collapsed into fauteuil, a
prey to violent feelings, reproaching
M. Casimir-Perer with having dis
honored him In the eyes of the en-
pire.
M. Casimir-Per was crushed, and
could not reply at first, but presently
said: Tell your emperor myself will
give him satisfaction. I do not want
to sacrifice the country. l will leave
the presidency. l pray his majesty to
