interesting developments today in the
Saxee-Pressenx affair. Gen. Julhard.

the troops an order today on the oeca-
sion OF the departure Of Col. Saxce. OF
the Tenth artillery. TO take up the new
command to which he was transferred
as a disciplinary measure, by the minis

Crowds Annoy HIS Wife.
Nine. Dreyfus. accompanied by her
parents drove to the prison this after.
she remained with her husband an hour.
On leaving she showed for the first time
signs Of distress. Her eyes were swollen

her. rudely staring her In the face and
pressing one another aside In their eager
