Soliel publishes a letter from M. Trarleux, Senator for Gironde, and formerly Minister of Justice, in which he assures Col. Picquart of his continued affection and moral support and expresses himself as convinced that Picquart's judges will be compelled to recognize his innocence. It is learned that it was Gen. Chanolne and, not Gen.

Zurlinden who actually transmitted the military government after" the adjournment of the Cabinet Council on Tuesday the dossier forming the basis of the fresh charges against Col. Picquart. These papers he received from Gen. Zurlinden. Le Rappel declares that Gen.

Chanoine was trapped into ordering the institution of military proceedings aga'nst Col. Picquart, the order for his prosecution having been surreptitiously slipped 'n among a lot important documents placed upon the Minister's desk to be signed. LONDON, Sept. despatch from Paris to Exchange Telegraph Company confirms the statement that Gen. Zurlinden let acted against tor Col.

Picquart without the knowledge the Cabinet. The appointment by the Minister of War of Foulon to act as commissary for the Government in the prosecuten of Picquart is in accordance with the military code which prescr'bes that the commissary in a trial by court martial shall be equal in rank to the accused. Picquart, though commonly alluded to as Colonel, is actually a LleutenantColonel. Foulon In reality takes the place of Public Prosecutor. Capt.

Tavnier will act as. Judge-Advocate. M. Guerin, who was Minister of Jus-tice at the time that Dreyfus was sentenced, said in an interview last evening: "I do not know whether the Dreyfus dossier contains any documents which It would be dangerous to make public. Gen.

Mercier, Minister of War, informed me 'n the Council of Ministers that he had ordered the arrest of Dreyfus because of the disappearance of documents from the War Office. Neither I nor any other member of the Cabinet had anything further to do with the matter, except that I gave Gen. Mercler the name of an expert in handwriting. The affair was not considered so grave then, but to-day do It is a different matter. It has been exceedingly serious since Col.

Picquart declared that the of the bordereau was that of Esterhazy, and it became known that the court martial deliberated upon evidence which was not communicated to Dreyfus or his counsel. "The duty of Premier Meline was to. have demanded the annulment of the trial. It would have been easler then the amours propre of the Army was not than a now, as prior to the Zola trial called do into question." conclusion M. Guerin said he thought that annulment of the trial was the only course to be taken.
