Louis Philippe, which states that the ex-king has

The interview between the French Provisional
Government and the Workmens Deputation.
We give the following interesting account of what
seemed at first likely to prove dangerous trial of
the strength of the order of things in France
but which happily resulted without harm. 1t is
from the correspondence of the London Morning
Herald:
PARIS, Saturday Evening, March Is, 1913.
The demonstration of the working men, yester-
day, was followed last night by demand for a
general illumination, which was. OF course, COM

pie We're peculiarly exacting in their demands and
this suspected Carist quarter was forced to wear
the brig hest air of any III Paris. 1t had been freely
rumored in the course of the day, that agents of
Henry V. had been at work in the Rue St. Denis,
and that a white flag had been raised on the old
porte. This may have been clInningly done, with

Soire'' The number of workmen, of all trades,
who marched to the Hotel de Vile, and from that
to the Column of July, is estimated at from 100 900
to 1900 men. Be that il may, this much is
certain that all the workmen of Paris and the en-
virons, We're there reg imented according to their
respective trades. Some priests, who joined the
procession, Were greatly cheered. In the evening,
the National Guard issued declaration that they
bowed respectfully to the decision of the Provis
ional Government. The scene that took place
within the Hotel de Vile must have been very
strange The delegates from the trades demanded
three things-the removal of the troops from Paris ;
the postponement of the election of officers of the
National Guards to the 9Th of April and of the
election of the National Assembly to the 3lst of
May. NJ. Louis Blanc promised, in the name of
the Provisional Government, deliberation on these

under the fear of menace, when he stopped
by the following pithy speech: The people ex-
pect something else than words; it requires def
mite reply, Take what time you like for delibera-
ton, but we will not leave this without reply to
give the people" NJ Ledrl-Rollin spoke, and ii
must be confessed, spoke courageously; he told
them that they not the representatives OF all
France, and that although they might make de-
mands in their own name they had no right TO as
sumo the representation of the departments. Lam
airline, as usual, rose with the occasion, and in Il
most powerful manner, vndlcated the rights OF the
Government to independent dellberatlon. He said
he would not consent 10 the hasty performance OF
any act that would look to the nation as if Paris
asserted monopoly of liberty and of the Republic,
which had been won for all France. and not for
some citizens only. In word, he told them lie

and as usual. such nerve and eloquence, carried
him through VIGOROUSLY.
