Former Governor Altgeld, one of the counsel for the re spondents, entered n formal exception to tho decision. "This case. I may say," the court re marked, "Is not appealable. You mny file a bill of exceptions for n writ of error, however. I am willing to delay the solv ing of papers un Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Cnnfleld till you have drnwn your bill." "We do not feel that we have any favor coming from this court." Mr. Allgcld an swered. "We are much obliged." The court room was crowded when Judge Hanecy read the decision. The article upon which the proceedings In contempt were based was a criticism of tho court's decision on application for the forfnlture of the char tervof the People's Gns and Coke company. Judge Hanecy said If the matter puhllhed were allowed to go unnoticed by the court It paved the way for other attacks, and that the Judiciary, If not held In respect, would fall, with all democratic government. The article, the court declared, was not merely an attack on the people nnd on Ihe court, but a bold threat to every other court. It therefore should not go unpunished. A few minutes after the rendering of the decision and the Imposition of the sentences as to Lawrence and Canflcld, Judge Dunne, upon application, Issued n writ of habeas corpus as to them, returnable Immediately.

General John C. BateR, In command of the Department of the Missouri, has received notice from tho secretary of war to report at Washington on or before November L'5, whero ho Is to serve on a board nt nrii army officers to consider matters pertaining to iniana posts and reservations, "I don't know what the scope of tho board may be." said tho general yesterday, "nor do I know what recommendations, If nny, it will make touching the post of thin department. However, It Is not likely that any more posts will hn cstshlfniinH in this department. Some may bo abandoned, untie tno capacity of others may be In creased or diminished aa circumstances re quire. "As I understand It the board will con sider such questions as the location of camps authorized under a recent act of con gross for the Instruction of soldier, in ih regular army and national guard. We havo now in this department two military schools, one an Infantry and cavalry achool at Fort Leavenworth and th nthat- ..hi of casralry and light artillery at Fort Riley. it is (icsirabio that a considerable force- be stationed at both of these schools In order that they may avail themselves of tho In- strustlon. "Then It may tako up the question of in creasing and .diminishing tho facilities of various army posts, making such changes ns best to meet the demands of the coun try. Things are In an unsettled state now and havo been since tbe various garrisons were ordered to the front at the beginning of tho Spanish-American war. and It Is nec essary to reconstruct. Troops perhaps will bn transferred from one post to another, tho objects being to locate them where they can ho best taught, where they can be most economically maintained and where they can be most quickly nnd conveniently moved. Then, of course, they must be sta tioned with reference to the assurance of protection they will afford to settlers near Indian reservHtlons and the frontiers. "It Is not llkoly that these duties will keep mo at Washington a great while,- and so far as I know no one has been ordered to tako temporary command of this depart ment In my absence. It may be that I will bo directed to command my department from there." Tho board of which General Hates will bo a member will comprise Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, Major Generals John R. Hrooke, Hlwell S. Otis, S. M. H. Voung, Ar thur MncArthur. Brigadier Generals John C Hates. John M. Randall and William A.
