it Is NOT true that he adhered to. the Or

General is not only reported to be q bitter

also to have prepared plan of csmpaign,
offensive and defensive, and il these state
ments be true we may depend that he will
continue the struggle to the bitter end
Trochu is liberal and his sentiments in
favor of parliamentary government have
been known. He Is not q republican,
however. Soon after the defeat of Mar
shall MacMahon at Woerth General Tro-
chu was appointed Governor of Paris, a
position he still holds in connection with
the Office Of Minister of War. Whether
he will remain faithful to the republic,
, now that one has been proclaimed, or in
trigue for a restoration of the monarchy,
time alone can decide.
JULES GREW, PRESIDENT or THE COUS-
cn.-M. Grevy was born at Mont-sous-
Vandrez, in the Jura, in 1910. He NOV
ed to Paris when young maa, studied
law, and, after his admission to the bar,
became conspicuous on account of the rad
ical sentiments he gave expression to at
every opportunity. After the revolution
of lS4S he was appointed . Commissioner
of the provisional government in his de-
partment, and exercised his powers with
much discretion and moderation. He was
subsequently elected member of the Con-
stituent Assembly by a large majority and
became Vice President of the Assembly
and member Of the Committee of Jus
tice. As representative he was noted
for his conservative sentiments-although
he generally voted with the extreme left
and for his eloquence as an orator.
After the election of Louis Napoleon he
went into opposition and denounced the
expedition to Rome. Reelected to the
Assembly, he remained faithfnl 70 the de-
mocracy. and opposed the coalition be-
tween the royalists and Bonapartists.
The coup detdt drove him from political
life, to which he returned last year, when
he was elected to the Corps Legislatif.
GARNER PAGEs.-Louis Antoine Gar
nier Pages was horn in Marseilles on the
18th of July, 1903. The double name
he bears is owing to the fact that his moth
er had been twice married. When the
revolution of $50 broke out GARNER Pa
ges played his part, though an unimpor-
tant one in and around the barricades in
the streets of Paris When quiet was re-
stored and the machinery of the govern
ment was again in running order in the
French capital GARNER Pages was return
ed as a deputy Of the reimbursement Of
Eerneuil. and took is sea. in the Cham
Der on the liberal side. From the tener
Of his speeches and the course which he
pursued it was evident that he had given
the subjects of finance and commerce no
small degree af attention. This was ac-
knowledged on both sides of the house,
and his remarks on these important ques-
! tions attracted considerable attention
He became one of the leaders of the or
ganization which was engaged in the get
ting up of the banqucts known as the re-
form banquets. which preceded the reyo-
luton Of 1s4s. His ability was ut that
time so recognized that he was chosen
Mayor Of the city Of Paris, and discharg-
! ed the duties of the Office with such mark
ed ability that he was afterwards appoint
ed Minister of Finance under the provis-
ional government. In this more delicate
position he proved himself equal to the
task. He introduced many important re-
forms and had also to deal with financial
crisis, The ability with which he ham
died this latter duty again won for him an
enviable confidence. A system of dock
warrants and bonded warehouses were
among some of the reforms he introduced
while acting in the capacity Of Finance
Minister. In 1S64 he was elected anem-
ber of the Executive Commission and also
of the, Legislative Assembly. Though
his career as y politician has been IN &C.
tive one, extending at times through Pc
riods Of wild excitement, he has found
time to devote some attention toliterature.
