All Paris is Discussing Cause of Rupture Between
 the Two .LABORI MAKES 4 STATEMENT Ceased to Be Counsel at Request of Dreyfus Farily-cannot AL low a Client to Calum-
 niate Him.

Paris. December 4.-The recent revival of interest in the Dreyfus affair has creat- ed several incidents which, while they do not affect the question of the Innocence of Dreyfus, throw interesting light on the subsequent relations of Dreyfus. Reinach Labori, Picquart and other Dreyfusards. Reinach's withdrawal of his brief from Maitre Laborl in the suit brought against the former by Madame Henry was the first development vh,ch drew attention to the rupture between them. Labori, about the same time pub lished an article in the Grande Revue which he edited on the political situation in which he pointed out that the Dreyfus affair was closed by the fact that Drey- fus had accepted a pardon.
 These declarations indicated a rupture between Labori and Dreyfus. The na- tionalist Echo de Paris then published an interview with friend of Reinach and of the Dreyfus family, who said that Reinach withdrew the brief because his friend, Cornely, who represented his views, had been removed from the posi- tion of political leader writer on Laboris INeNltM DOlMllHSIdHulDB 1dDOTl DTOn- ise to retain him, given him when Rein ach financially supported the review
 Angry With Dreyfus.
 The informant of the interviewer also asserted that Labori was furious because Dreyfus did not remain in prison and, from these, continue to prosecute the work of his rehabilitation.
 The interviewer remarked that Labori had ,4o+ aV1 for Dreyfus and his informant replied:
 But Maitre Labori did not live forever on the Dreyfus affair, and the family act ed very well toward him in every re- spect."
 The informant said Picquart was led astray by Labori in withdrawing his ap- peal to the Council of State and in re- fusing to re-enter the army even if the decision was in his favor. The informant then added:
 We do not comprehend Picquarts att titude or his anti-Semltism, which Is mo- torious. Dreyfus when he was released wrote to him. expressing warm thanks for his devotion and asked for an inter view to enable him to express his thanks personally. Picquart sent him a cool re- ply, saying he would let him know when he could receive him, and Dreyfus has heard nothing from him since.'
 The Libre Parole then published an in- | terview with an alleged friend of Labori, declaring that when the latter was shot l at RenneS several circumstances es led him | to believe that the outrage was instigat- ed by the Waldeck- Rousseau ministry. which was playing for a big stake with his life.
 Lost His Living. Another Dreyfusard, an artist named l Ibes, now writes to the newspapers to express in violent terms his disillusion- ment regarding the Dreyfus affair. Ibeis took an active part in the agitation Tn the shape of a series of caricatures, and he now declares that the Reinach party has thrown him over and insulted and in- l jured him. His partisanship of Dreyrus cost him his livelihood.
 ] A leading Drefusard parsonage to whom l he applied in a business matter treated him shamefully. The artist says: 1 Honest Dreyfusards like Zola, Labori. l Picquart, Clcmenccau and others worked bravely and Loyalty for what they 1 thought was noble cause, whereas they l were merely helping Reinach and his friends to gain power. Moreover Dreyfus himself. who found time to write long 1 letters to rich bankers. had no thought of sending me a word of tha1ks. He is a monster. I saw Maitre LaGori recently. He wept while recounting how he had suffered from the treatment he had ex- perienced from Picquart and also said 1 he was disgusted at being sacrificed like us"
 Labori's Article. | Labori today breaks silence in an ar ticle, published by the Journal, the first of series which he announces. is en- titled, My Explanations" What he | says today is not of the first importance, but is evidently a prelude to interesting | revelations regarding his relations with Dreyfus and Reinach. He says that he ceased to be counsel for Dreyfus a year ago, at the request of the Dreyfus fam fly, and that In view of the divergence of opinion as to the conduct of the Dreyfus trial and the subsequent amnesty ques- tion, ne asked Reinach. in October, 1899, to allow him to relinquish his briefs in the Henry and other cases, but Reinach | appealed to his devotion. pointing out | the grave effects of public separation between them. Reinach wrote to him ap- proving his Ulaboris) recent article in the Review and then withdrew the brief in the Henry case on the ground of breach of friendship in dismissing Cor nelly.
 Labori concludes with saying that he has endured the calumnies of his adver- saries for years past but to allow him self to be calumniated by clients or friends of clients. as in the Echo de Paris articles, which he knows came through an authorized informant, is too much to expect from his abnegation. He will reply thereto in the next article. In a foot note to the Libre Parole in- terview, Labori does not deny the as- sertion made, but says he will explain the matter later.
 Carriere on Retired List.
 Another interesting incident has arisen
 in the placing on the retired list of Ma jor Carriere (who was prosecutor at Rennes courtmarshaD. An interviewer asked Major Carriere if he committed mistake in urging the condemnation of Dreyfus.
 Yes" replied the major; that is the reason"
 Continuing the interviewer remarked: Tt IS said that you had orders to sum up in favor of the innocence. but mon ister denies this"
 The major replied:
 "Yes, it was Gallifet who had the ef-
