These were pounced upon as a nex cuse for punishing the offender, and France was notified that the writer of the verses must be extradited. The Russian contention is that the offense does not come under the political head, and that the offender ls therefore amenable tothe extradition treaty ex- iatlsting between the two nations.

Paras. May li.-With regard to the French Premier, J ean'Sar-rien, the ribbon of the Legion of Honor which he wears In his buttonhole was won by him for llantry under the fire as captain of mobiles in the war of 1870. He is one of the most reticent and taclturn states» men in France. Frenchmen. being dis~ posed toelcquence. always have a great , ‘ior a man who knows how to keep his own council and to hold his tongue. Nowhere are sobriety of speech and discretion of utterance more widely a preciafed than on the banks of the Inc. That is why every change of expression on Sarrien's fscels so care- fully watched, and itls no exaggeration to assert that at least on one occasion his more frown proved sufficient to pro vbked a cabinet crisis, ’ although he had not uttered a word.

The quartet of wives in the erking‘s wake afl’crded a truly .plctnresque sight. All were in brilliant costumes. although it was painfully manifest that they were not over-dressed.

Arequing succeed ed in staying the flood o ’lears. the wife with the blanket squatted down on the floor and proceeded to wipe up the monarchlcaltears, lest unchrlstian feet profane them. Even the officials had a hard time to retain from laughing.

His composure finally restored. the ex- king waved a friendly greeting and resorted to some very badly mixed French to tell the commissioners how much he loved them and France. It was evxdent, however, that the words did not taste very good. He has been in exile in Martinique. but does not conceal the fact that he is pining to get back to the lanai over which he ruled until France deposed him by force.

A little house will be given to him at Blida, Algeria. so that he may at least end his days on African soil. His son profited by the exile in Martinique to study law. and has the appearance of being civilized. He will receive a pension of a few dollars, so that he may continue his studies hers.
