NJ: Tinc;ji, itc- noticing several of the stories
r:':e: red 20, proceeds to give them the quietus
- ,;ie following authoritative declaration:
From inc t;y o. his arrival to that of mis- de-
Darture in the packet Independence, June IS,
1897, Louis Napoleon had his apartments in inc
Washington Hotcl, III Broadway, on the site
now occupied by Stewards magnificent Store
There he received and admitted sometimes to
his tabIe-besiGcs the Count GArcsc who rcmcin-
ed one of his most intimate conlfdcnts-a very
limited number OF friends; among Them were
Mr.. II! Gonfalonieri, ForcSt Maroncclii, IIackett,
Pcu2nct, LacoStc, the Rev. Mr.. Steward and
few others. He led very retired and rcmarka
oily regular life, accepting none of their invita-
!ons, wish which nc WAS increasingly bcsicged
lie made no exception, but for the snilceS of
Nine. MautUrin Livingston, whose family he
particularly esteemed, and those Of Nine. Pam

french SOclety uNueF nSTFOoL
Gar from leading the life which has been at
iributed 10 him, the Prince on the contrary con-
stautly busted himself with lahors aud serious
projects, \ short time before his departure,
he asked inc to draw up the plan Of great ag-
ricultural establishment for he intended to pu~-
chase land, and install a small French colony
This design remained unlulfilled only account
of his sudden departure, which was caused by
the unflvorab!e adviccS he had received con-
corning his nhothcr'S health.
Here you have, sir, the simple truth in re-
gard to the sojoun of Louis Napoleon in New
York"
NJ Tinclli referring to the story that certain
fourth rate lawyer had liberated Louis NSpoe-
on from the 'Fomhs and had not received his
counsel fees until MS ilstrious client had reach
ed the summit Of his power, remarks: "TEcrc is
only one reply TO make to this assertion, viz:
thai in 1887 the Tombs did not exist"
Tue RIO DE JASEIEs AFFAIR-'rhe Washing
ion Organ has alc;ter received from an officer on
board tie United States slip Savannah, which
gives some additional intelligence relating TO the
difficulty that occurred on tlc 18th of February
last at Rio dc Janciro between The American
Commodore aud the British Admiral. Admiral
johnson, it seems, alleging chat he had reason
10 believe that the steamer America belonging;
to The United States, then lying in the lar5or at
Rio, was Russian Drivatccr, sent word to Com
nodorc S,lter that he felt it his duty TO search
her. To this message Commodore Saltcr return
cd answer s;rat under no condition should he al
low an EnSIi,.l officer 10 search vessel bearing
an American flag.
Captain Hudson, of The America came on
board the SGvanjRil add denied the charge He
was perfectly willing to DC searched Dy the
officers os Rio; Dut he would not submit 10 any
IhinE Of The kin6 from the English or French,
and threatened, IL they sen; n searching par:y
on bos-Cl, to brow them overheard.
On,thc morning Of The 18th another message
was received from Admiral johnson, who was
not satisfied with Capt. HudSon'S denial of tic
charge, but still insisted on the right to search
the America. Commodore Saltcr sent back
warm answer, which was met by threat on
the part of the Admiral 10 follow, overhaul, and
search the America at sea. This caused the
Commodore to cease all communication with the
English, and bend all his energies to preparing
the ship for sea and for action. A letter was
sent him from the Admiral by British Licutcn-
ant, but the letter was returned unopened. At
the time of writing .hc ship was ready for sea,
her boats all being hoisted in, and tl,c ship un.
moOred, and riding at single anchor.
Tic america Was tosaiI the next mornin and
toH the Savannah to with her, the Commo-
dorc declaring that though the English force
was treble his own, that he would fire upon
them at the first attempt to make forcible
search. The officers and crew of the Sayanah
were excited by the prospect of an engagement
with such odds, but hopeful of victory.
Such wasthe certainty of an engagement that
a number of the foreign residents at Rio had
chartered a steamboat to accompany the two
sq1ddrons to sea, in order that they might Wit
ness tho engagement.
1t is proper to add that Lieutenant lie Roy
and ssboatswain Whitaker who examined the
America under the orders of Commodore saltcr,
