Paris, Sept. 24.—Madame
Paulmier, wife of M. Charles
Prnest Paulmer, membea of the
chamber of deputies, today en

and asked to see M. Millerand.
M. Millerand was absent andM.
Clliver, who was present stepped
f°i ward to receive the lady, who,
waiting for an explana

the floor wounded. He was ta

Madame Paulmier was taken
into custody, and when questio i

“I wished to kill Millerand.”
She explained that La Lan

that Picquart had been placed

on an order from the authori
ties, which order M. Laboro has
been unable to secure.
La Liberte predicts important
action by the council on Tues
day, which may result in the
convoking of the chambers.
Everything tends to confirm
the opinion that Gen. Zurlinden
in ordering the military trial of
Col. Picquart, acted enti rely
upon his own initiative.
The temps declares that the
cabinet had previously refused
to sanction Gen. Zurlinden s
proposal to prosecute Col. Pic
quart, and that Gen. Zurlinden,
therefore, waited until he had
resumed the military governor
ship of Paris, when he acted
upon his own authority.
Upon leaving the Lasante
prison, Col. Picquart had a port
manteau and a portfolio. He
looked pale and careworn. The
blinds of the liarche were drawn
directly he entered it.
A mob which had been bowl
ing outside the prison, rushed
toward Picquart as he emerged,
shaking their fists and shout
sag out against him. Another
mob waited at the Cherche-Midi
prison. A detachment of military
in both cases protected Picquart.
A majority of the papers de
nounce this military coup with
varying degrees of severity. M.
Clemenceau, in The Aurora,
charges M. Brisson with cow
ardice or imbecility, and couples
President Faure’s name with
that of Gen. Zurlinden in the
alleged plot to suppress the
truth and defeat justice. M.
Clemenceau dwells strongly on
the mauvaises chances of the
Cherche-Midi prison and credits
the ex-war minister with the le
mark: “If Gen. Mercier had not
bee. so soft-hearted he would
