A Visit to tliu House of Com-
inoiiH mill a Tribute to American's
KcnrcMcntntlves In London.
Lovno.v , July 10. ( Editorial Correspon-
ilcncoA ) three weeks'ramble through Eng
land ntulVnles has not only afforded an op-
poitunlty for Instructive observation , but
brought mo Into contact with ropresantntlvo
men , public olllclals , government employes ,
factory bands and common laboiers. In
many respects I Imvo been compelled to re
vise preconceived notions and opinions co'n-
corning Englishmen , tbclr mode ot living
niul peculiarities. The prevailing impression
In Amoricn Is Hint Englishmen generally nro
curt nnd uncivil and Englishmen of wealth
niul prominence ate disposed to bo exclusive
unil almost Inucccssiblo to foreigners anil es
pecially Americans. My experience does not
conllrm this view. Quito the contrary. I
Imvo found tbo English people everywhere
polite nnd their extreme politeness often bor
ders on the ludicrous. It Is true that En
glishmen of tlio upper crust nro not disposed
\o promiscuous intercourse with people
who nro not introduced by parties
in good standing , but n prop-
rr Introduction secures the utmost
cordiality and hospitality. The working pco-
pl'i nro apt to bo moro suspicious nnd dis
courteous when any nttompt is m.iJo to ns-
certaln their wages , relations to cmn'oyers '
nnd cost of living. The worst rebu t I have
met witli was at Birmingham last Monday
fhcn I attempted to interview a group of
' Idle laboring mon who were loitering In front
of their lodging bouse.
"Are there many people hero who can't got
work ! " I nsked.
They looked somewhat bnfilod and mtrJo no
rosponso.
' How much do you hnvo to pay for board
mid lodging ! " pointing ton r.ithcr pugnacious
looking individual. One ol the shabby look
ing workmen exclaimed :
"There's the keeper ; ho can toll you. "
I turned to tun icoepor nnd repeated my
question , adding that I caino f'-om America
and would lllto to make Inquiries about the
condition of workingmen In Birmingham.
' 1 won't toll you , " snapped the keeper In
gruff tones. "It's none of your business. "
"How much rout do you piy ! " I nskod.
"Well sir that's secret " said the
, , my , por-
ciinlne-llko keeper , ' 'nnd I tlilnk. " added he ,
' 'that hit's ban bimportinenco for you to n\
such n question. "
"Well , my friend , I am not trving to pry
Into your private affairs , " said I. "but want
to malto soiiio comparisons , llow much do
> ioso mou earn u day when thov are at
work ! "
"That's none of your Business and wo
don't propose to toll you. If you nro bound
to know , go to the Somerset house. They
como around every throe years to take our
Income nnd you'll ilnd it thoru. "
A Ijurjjo Cotton l < "actory.
In marked contrast with this incivility was
.Jbo more than courteous Iro.itmont accorded
mo by the proprietor of one of the largest
cotton factories in Manchester. H is very
dllllcultto procure admission Into Manchester
factories nnd the MclCinlov tariff furnishes
an ndditlonnl pretext for excluding visitors
from America. Hut Air. ( jrinnoll , the Amor-
lean consul at Manchester , ventured to address -
dross n letter of introduction to Richard
Hnworth & Co. , cotton manufacturers , re
questing permission for mo to vlblt the fnc-
tory. After ascertaining thnt I was not "on-
gaged in the trade , " n card of admission was
handed mo politely with direction to the Tat-
ton factory , two mlles distant from the com
pany's ollli'os. On arilvnl nt the factory wo

Homo Noted Public Mon.
Whllo I Imvo not hobnobbed with the prlnco
of Wales nor discussed politics with Queen
Victoria , I Imvo had very courteous nnd
nirrcenblo treatment nt the hands of ptibllo
men nnd professional gentlemen connected
with the press nnd postal telegraph In Lon
don and tno provincial cities. At the house
of commons I met Mr. T. P. O'Connor ' , an
Irish member of parliament , nnd Journalist
whose ropulntion extends ncross the Atlantic.
Mr. O'Connor Is n hnndsotno nnd withal
Jovial gentleman. Ho volunteered , without
solicitation on my part , to conduct us
through private apartments of the bouse nnd
took pains to explain nil the peculiar usages
that obtain In the parliament bouses. Mr.
O'Connor hndtrnvellod In America , nnd ten
yours ago visited Omaha. Ho remembered
many of our leading Irish-Americans , Includ
ing John Hush , Thomas Bronnnn , Mlko
Donovan , who kept tbo Creighton house In
these days.
Prof. ilnnlPH Hrlcc.
Another eminent member of the house of
commons , Prof. James Brlce , the distin
guished author of "Tho American Common
wealth , " has placed mo under many obliga
tions. Prof. Brice takes n llvo interest in
American affairs , and just now is very anx
ious to keep fully advised nbout the fnnners1
alliance and Its political aims. In order to
secure a satisfactory talk I was Invited to
breakfast with Mr. Brice at
bis London rosldoaco. Mrs. Brice ,
who had on several occasions ac
companied her husband on his American
travels , appeared almost ns well informed
aboutour political alf.iirs nnd social condition
ns Prof. Brice , nnd tnkos fully ns much in
terest in our people. What pu//los Mr. Brice
is tbo cnuso of discontent among the south-
cm farmers ho had visited in Sou'h Carolina
last year , before the defeat of Wade Hamp
ton , nnd could not comprehend Just what
tboso southern alliance men want.
"Thoy were nil democrats on nntlonal Is
sues , " said Mr. Brico. ' 'Thoro is no com
plaint In South Carolina about the railroads
ns it is with you In the northwest , and out-
sldo the sub-treasury scheme , I can't under
stand at what tboy are driving , unless It is a
revolt against old party loulors. : "
Prof. Brice also appeared Interested in the
negro problem and the conditions of Ameri
can labor , nnd asked many pointed questions
ubout the education of the negro in public
schools in the northern statos. While ex
pressing no preference as to Amancau politi
cal parties , and outspoken in favor of the
English free trade policy , Mr. Brice had n
decided leaning towards republican princi
ples and In parliament ho occupies n scat on
the liberal side of the houso. I listened to
him a few days' ngo when ho m'ldu a short
and pom toil speech on the cduca ion bill and
was very favorably impresiod with his man
ner of delivery and treatment of the subject.

Among the old acquilntancos agreeably
renewed in London is that of Henry M.
Stanley. Tno gro.it African explorer wns
found at , bis almost palatial residence , on
Richmond Terrace , opposite the palace of the
dune of Bur-.cloueh , nnd within throe squares
of Trafalgar.sqimro. The mansion owned by
Airs. Stanley's mother , Mrs. Tennant , is
elegantly furnished. The broad hallway Is
decorated with troubles of African explora
tion , weapons and shields. On the library
walls hang portraits of Stanley ,
Livingstone and .other explorers , and
decorations , swords nnd testimonials
of geographical societies , presented
to Stanley The most interesting depart-
niont. Mis. Stanley's studio , is n regular
artist's den , with plaster oust , models nnd
specimens of Mrs. Stanley's work , which are
reputed to bo above mediocrity. Mr. Glad
stone , who Is nn mtlmato friend of the
Toiinnnti , Is an admirer and frequent
visitor. Stanley "at homo" is nltoirether n
different man from Stanley on his American
lecture tour. In America ho is taciturn , stiff
and very formal. Iloro ho is jovial , talkative
and unreserved. Asked whether he intended
togobiclt to Africa ho replied that would
depend.
"I shan't go back unless there Is something
big Africa is no lo'igor n moro wilderness
inhabited by savages ns It was twenty odd
years ago. Whoit I made my first explora
tion , there was not n white man In the whole
of central Africa. Now there are over one
thousand customs onlcers stntloned there.
They are building railroads nnd establishing
cqlonlos from every direction. "
"Uo you think Africa will become another
America ! "
"No , " .srtid Stnnloy ; "tho negro can never
become clvllUod like the white man and it
would take n thousand years to accomplish
in Africa wlmt luu boon done In America In
the lust hundred years. "
Just now Stanlov Is tilling his loeturo engagements -
gagomonts In provincial towns , but ho Is
heartily tlro.l of it nnd usMired mo ho would
gtvo L' . " > 00 to cancel his contrast. By July 15
ho expects to go to Swll/orlnml nnd there in
tends to celebrate the llrst anniversary of
his mrtrringo to Dorothy Tonnnnt.

S July a. " ! . [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tim BEII | spent nu hour
with Jacques St. Corel , the Figaro's brilliant
foreign editor , this afternoon , hearing him
talk of the visit of the ( lormnu emperor to
England , Many Incidents which bo told mo
of ho has refrained from publishing in the
Figaro for reasons which do uot count in
America.
"How would you sum up your impres
sions 1" St. Corel wns askod. "That visit
gave pleasure neither to English people nor
the court. The prince of Wales spoke to
many persons of the knlsor ns n self Invited
guest. Here Is nn Incident which shows the
feeling Wales has for the omporor. La Salle ,
the French baritone , went to the prince to
toll him ho could not sing nt tbo gala per-
formnncoatCovent garden. 'You nro qulto
right , ilon'tsing , ' was the prince's reply , anil
again when the kaiser wont to Eton bo was
in uniform with his staff oHIccrs and the
rest , ana the visit took an air of n military
fete. This annoyed the prince of Wales ,
who wont and put on a shooting jacket nnd
gaiters to show ho was not supposed to hold
tlo same views nb his nephew. Then nt the
Guild hall banquet when William begun to
sooak there wns some disorder. The kniscr
evidently wns very much vexed. Ho
frowned nnd his fnco showed nngcr ; tbo
prince of Wnles , on the contrary , laughed
heartily. There was not the slightest thing
to show that ho was not overjoyed to see bis
nephew nude uncomfortable. During the
Wimbledon review several English princes
present passed n remark to the effect that the
kaiser was making himself ridiculous.
"That was my impression. It was also
confirmed by several oflicers to whom I spoke.
Politically the visit wns futile , It bad no po
litical result whatsoever. As proof , I can
toll you that the kaiser bos just telegraphed
thnt ho would like to pay another visit to the
queen atOsborno ana see the Hock. Ho wants
to go ana get in some political work , but the
English government is doing everything pos
sible to avoid a second A'isit. "
"And your impression of the emperor pcr
sonnlly , St. Coroi ? "
"Ho Is u man who wants peace maintained ,
but who will cause war any moment by his
nervousness. I do not sny his mind is un-
.balancod , but he is abnormally nervous ns
you can see by looking nr , him for two min
utes. If tomorrow there were n frontier in
cident wo should not ilnd calmness shown by
him.
He Desired \Vnr.
' Persons who know the kaiser well nud
who nro in constant communication with
him , his friends , have told mo thnt at the
tlrno of the visit of Empress Frederick to
Paris , the kaiser irave and signed orders for
mobilisation nud that it was only because the
military sttilfdolavod sending out orders for
ono day Hint war was not begun. During
tbo night n telegram cnmo from Victoria
Dogging William not to take umbrngo nt
what was not really an insult to tbo empress.
At tbo same tlmo there arrived u despatch
from the Vlonnn cabinet , which had got
wind of the orders for mobilization , stating
that the Parjs Incident was not
a causus belli. In consequence of
these telegrams the kaiser annulled the order.
William's ' idea of poaec is , that ho should have
it by everybody bowing to his wishes. Ho
sincerely desires peace , but only on that con
dition. Tno reported attack of epilepsy was
entirely unfounded. I had every opportunity
'
to tlnd out the truth nDout his arm , nnd nove'r
once did bo tnlto his glove off of the left
hand , oven at the Guild Hall banquet , where
ho nto nothing , while thereat of the company
did justice to nil the good things. His hand
is contracted visibly and you can ice that the
loft arm is smaller nnd thinner than the
right. Thoru cnn bo only n llosbless bono
which tins not grown with the rest
of the mnn. Ho speaks French nnd
Encllsh with u very strong Oormnn nrcout
nnd hesitntos over words in French , but not

well , but ns if searching for the exact word
to convoy the thought , and when the word Is

Ho Is not considernto of others' feelings bo-

when ho rudely refused to accept a bouquet
offered by the little girls. Ho offamlod the
guests nt the state bnll at Buckingham pnluco
by fulling fust nsloop In his chair. Friends
regard him with nbaoluto veneration and
describe him ns qulto charming nnd plensaiit ,
until the moment ho dons Ills uniform. Then

Wnddlngton could not bo at the early part
of the reception , owing to the death of his
mother , but some ono should have roplacoj
him thero. Unfortunately In Franco a party

hns just como to my knowledge. There are
ninny French merchants and manufacturer *
who say they will not exhibit at the Chicago
world's fair because Germany wilt bo thero.
My opinion is , of course , entirely the reverse.
The proper thing to do la to struggle with
tbo Germans every where and show our su
premacy an their own ground whenever it is
possible. One result of tbo aosenco of a
representative of Franco at London was that
tbo visit took this character , which was not

Turning 'round , tboro Is Stanley , perusing

roads his face expresses surprise and indig
nation , llnally amusement ,
"Whnt is your reply to thnt statomonti"
asked , the Hornld correspondent.
"Thnt It Is n pure Invention. "
Ho wns going to sny moro when ho sud
denly stopped nnd said : "Why , this Is not n
thing for mo to answer. In such a tlmo the
woman can boat give reply. "
In n moment , following out his impulse , ho
wns In the next room , culling Mrs. Stanley
nnd Mrs. Myers , her sister. Then nil four
snt down.
Mrs. btnnloy snld : "Oh , I do hnto these
tologrnms so much , They always make mo
frightened. "
"You Ivavo no need to bo nervous
about this one , it is amusing , " and
then Stanley , with a laughing fnco
road. the dispatch , nnd everybody
laughfld when It was concluded , for in truth
thoro'iiovor was a happier family party seen.
Mrs. Stanley , full of womanly gentleness nnd
care for him ; ho , standing full of the glad
ness which married llfo Had brought him--a
man to whom n woman has given the confi
dence in woman which ho has not always
had.
Mra. Stanley's St-itoment.
Afrs. Stanley , after n pnuse , resumed : "My
busbaifd says this charge Is for mo to defend.
I don't bollovo that there has over boon n
happier married couple than myself nnd my
husband. "
Slio looked nt him and he replied : "I
don't believe there has boon.- "
She resumed : "I would like very much if
some stop could bo put upon American news
papers with respect to the wny in
which thsy discuss purely pri
vate family matters. When I was
in Now York n lady reporter of the World
put words into my mouth which I had never
uttered. She made mo to fcny that American
'vomen were ill dressed nnd the men vulgar.
I had to contradict the whole In n letter to
the Herald. This present charge concerning
myself and husband Is laUgbnblo. It docs
not therefore seen worth contradiction.
The correspondent here reminded Mrs.
Stanley that the false nnd malicious para
graphs would bo read by many people nnd
would possibly be widely copied in other
capers , nnd begged her to consider the mut
ter moro seriously , upon which she said :
"Tho only reason for such n report can bo
Hint I came on hero nhoad of Mr. Stnuloy. I
followed my husband all through America on
his lecturing tour. It was very exhaustive
work. When ho cnmo back to Eng
land there were claims upon him
for another tour on account of an ongngo-
inent given by him in 18S8. I wont with htm
for two weeks. My doctor said I must nbso-
lutcly stop it as 1 needed 'rest nnd n cbnngo
of nlr. So I cnmo to Switzerland with my
sister , Mrs. Myers , and her boy , both of
whom yon see here , nnd awaited the arrival
of my husband. You see I Imvo got n
swollen fucn from a cold which prevents mo
from laughing much. What a pity it U I
have not also a black eye by accident , so n
tomblostory of Mr. Stanley's vlolonco to mo
might bo worked up by the newspapers. "
It was then suggested by the correspon
dent thnt some signed statement should bo
given by Mr. nnd Mrs. Stanley , which should
at once sot nt rest nil reports such ns these
cabled by the World's Imaginative and
mendacious correspondent and thu family
party were loft togotnor.
Olllclnl Stanley St.-itcments.
When the correspondent returned to Mrs.
Stanley ho was handed two 'statements , ono
from Mrs. Stanley , the oihur from Henry M.
Stnnloy. Mrs. Stnnloy writes n bold , clear ,
slanting hand. Her statement wns as fol
lows :
I am very muob nstonlnhod and disgusted
with the report In the Now York Wnrld , that
my married llfo Is unhappy , nnd that 1 am
separated fiom my dear husband. It Is In *

It must bo mentioned that Mr. Stanley hnd
studiously refused to assist ] his wife In any
wnv to construct nor statement Ho had not
oven road it over before It wns given to the
Herald. This was done that'it could not bo
said that ho had in any wny biased her , and
thnt what she wrote expressed nothing but
her own feelings. ,
Stanley's statement wai In a small upright
hand , expressingcousccutivunoss of thought ,
precision nnd firmness of character. U rood
thus :
Thu statement reported ( a have been pub- ,
llhliud In the Now York World about the sep

Owing to the red tnpo policy of the police
and military system which prevails In tins
country It is almost Impossible to get at the
true facts in a case like this. The police and
military authorities do not attempt to deny
that Mine. Cnrnot's life has been attempted ,
but tboy claim that in the Interests of justice
it is nuvlsable to say ns llttlo as possible
nbout the mntior at present.
From other sources , however , it hns
become known that the nttompt to nssns-
sinnto Mmo. Carnet was undoubtedly made
by moans of an Infernal machine of some
description , nnd it nlso scorns settled that
the president's wife was not injured by the
explosion even if an explosion took place.
It has now become generally known that
the attempt upon Mmo. Carnot's life was
made In about the following manner : Mme
Carnet hnd received a package addressed to
her from Toulon and apparently containing
an oblong box. The wrapping naper around
the supposed box wns tnkcn off and the
package was found to consist of n good-
si/.ed missnl or Roman Catholic
mass book. At llrst sight it wns a neat
present to send to the wife of
the president. Upon moro careful
examination it wns found that the leaves
of the missnl , to outwnrd appearances ,
hnd oeon stuck together with varnish or mti-
cilago. This caused n still moro careful ox-
nminatlon of the mysterious missnl , and upon
being opened with the greatest cnro it wns
found that the interior of the book hud bcon
cut away in the manner sometimes ndoptod
by smugglers who doslro to send nrticles free
of duty through the nmils , nnd who place
them in n hollowed out book for thnt purpose.
But instead of containing valuables which
were being surreptitiously sent through the
malls. It was found thnt the inteilor of tbo
inissnl contained a powerful lulminnto pow
der.
der.No
No clue , nccorrtlnc to the police , has bcon
found to tbo sender of this Infernal machine ,
thoiiph tbo postonlco authorities of Toulon ,
acting In connection with the Parisian police
nnd with the police ot Toulon , nro said to bj
on thn track of the perpetrators or perpetra
tor of this outrage.
No reason seems to bo found for this at
tempt on the life ol Mrno. Caruot , and so the
conclusion Is that the would-bo ussassin
really attempted to take the life of tbo presi
dent , arid supposed u package to Mine. Car-
dot would bo carelessly opened by the presi
dent while the puckucrb nddrosseil to M. Carnet
not might DO carefully opened by his ntlend-
ants. Of course these nro only theories , the
nctunl facts known being few In number.
The report of the attempted assassination
of Mmo. Cnrnot is the talk of Purls and has
caused considerable indignation. There nro
people , o course , who link this alleged nt
tempt updn the president's life with tlio recent -
cent defeat of the French government in the
chamber of doputl& > , with tbo Boulangist
agitators and with the Alsnco-Ijornilno pass
port regulations debate , and of other similar
matters , but it would not bo surprising If
the whole matter should turn out to bo tbo
work of a dangerous lunatic.

Thn report which prevailed in this cltv to
day to the offo-t that an attempt had been
mniio to nssnsslnnto Mmo. Cnrnot , the wife of
the president , by means ot an Infernal ma
chine , was utterly incorrect In that thu
nttompt was not made on the llfo of Mmo.
Cavnot , but the wife of n prominent member
of the French cabinet. It now appears that
the lady who received the package Is Mmo.
Constans. wife of the minister of the in
terior. An analysis of tlio powder which
wns found In the hollowed portion of tbo
book received by Mmo. Constans proved that
it is fulminate of mercury , n highly explosive
compound.

LONDON , July 25. ( Now York Herald
Cable-Special to TUB Brn.J I hnvo just
returned froM n visit to Wains. 1'ho whole
country is trembling with preparation for the
great conflict that will decide whether the
vast tin plate Industry shall bo 11 rod out by
America or not. Thirty thousand mon who
have been tin own out of work this month
will bo asked back to work Monday. Clouds
of smolto will roll again from the chimneys
In the forests of the grand old Welsh val
leys , and Monday night the Welshman can
sit down by his fireside with his pint pot nnd
Bible nfter his day's hard work , In splto of
the MclCinloy bill , which hns cnusod so much
sorrow this month.
But the shadow of n struggle rests on the
land. It moans starvation for some , nnd
oxllo for others. The tin plato workers'
union hus agreed to stand by the masters and
light the American efforts to establish n tinplate
plato industry to the bitter end , on condition
that their present wages will not bo dis
turbed. Great excitement has boon roused
among the workmen by a proposal from the
masters Hint the steel plato mon shall go back
to work nl a reduction in wages of from 10 to
yo nor cent. As tbe stool plato unking Is n
lartro part of the tin industry the tinners will
stnnd bv the threatened men. Tlio crisis
may bo delayed for a few days , but the crush
Is bound to como.
I have spent several days among the work
men nt Swansea. They thoroughly under
stand that the tin plato industry cannot bo
established in America without Welsh work
men. It takes from eight to ten years for a
man In Wales to obta'n ' suflloiont experience
to bo entrusted with good work.
Making tin pinto with green or
hnlf trained hands Is qulto impossible.
The throat which workmen now mnkn is if
the masters nttompt to rodtieo wages they
will go to the states. The men have received
various Indirect proposals from Amnrlcn and
know they can got hlchor wages tliero. In
Wales tin plato men average 7 to 10 shilling )
n dny. On purely patriotic grounds they refuse -
fuse to listen to any proposal from America
while the present wages are maintained. It
is to thnt extent n sentimental issue , but no
serious reduction will bo nccoptod. The
mon would rather see America tnko the on-
tlro industry thnn to submit. Their Idea ,
boldly proolalmnd , is thr.t the profit to the
masters Is largo cncush to give n margin of
reduction stifllciont to moot tbo MclCinloy
tariff without touching wages.
The men claim to have a weapon
with which to light the masters
that is irresistible. For tbo moment the
mustcrj do not dare to toitch the tinners'
wages , but everybody knows thnt the reduc
tion for tlio stool workers Is only the prelude
to the reduction for the tlnnors. All the
blackened valleys nro full of idle mon today.
Not only have the tinners and stool workers
been .shut out for months , but multitudes of
men are idle in tlio ancient Cornwall mines ,
where men weio tearing ore from the bowels
of the earth before Cleopatra saw Egypt.
The men have shown great uitiunoo and accepted
the month's ' lockout without
cepted u mur
mur.
mur.Charles
Charles Williams , a member of the execu
tive committee , addressing the public through
the Herald , says :
Wo have all agreed to stand by the masters
ugnltiHt the American competition. If they
will sacrifice a portion of the profits and let
our wages nlone thuie la no Welshman \\lio
weird not prefer to have tlio Industry kept
In Wales , but o arn not cheup priced
men. Rather th in lot the masters lower
waci'S wlille tluiv Keep the prollts up
to thu usual murk , \ ulll go to America , mid
I will bo one of the very lint to go. Tin plato
\\orks In America are out of the question , un
less Welshmen K there. The Americans are
helpless without us The Welsh factory own
ers ate poifeetlv SOIMUO so 1 in ? an they can
keep their men lovnl.
While I snt In Williams' cottngo on the
tough hillside n striking incident occurred.
Uo opened tlio blblo nnd rend "Tlio Sermon
on the Mount" in Welsh nudd thn npplauso
of n group of follow workers.
If the tin plato industry is trnnsforrod to
America It will bo duo to thu growl of the
masters nnd not tno men. It moans the loss
of many millions of dollars , but the
masters seem to bo determined to
reduce tlio wages nnd tlio mon de
termined to resist. The masters nro
sprendlng stories to frighten the men
nbout the terrible cllmnto of America , the
expense of living and the lack of all comforts
dear to the Welsh heart. A representative
of the masters who has returned from Amor-
leu told the thnt tlu Welsh
men women t > ur-
rounded him with tears In theireyes nnd snld
thov wished they were back m dear old
Wnles. They hnd suffered terribly nnd were
sorry they hnd over left their homes.
On this story beinir told to the tin pinto
workers nt Swansea they stuck their
tongues In tholr chcoks nnd wlnued nt each
other. They nro not fools. They have
quietly Investigated the question ot America
for themselves.

thnt ho dines on ilcclc with the olllcers of his

The emperor , responding to Inquiries as to
the accident wlilcn befell him , telegraphs
that his ankle wns hurt , and that ha

will return hero on Aintiibt 27 nud will com

will proceed to MoU nnd will conduct n mili

will go to Thuringia to tnku part In the mill-

Tlio French squadron celebrations in Rus

Frenchmen belonging to n yacht club in St.
